Testimonials… 

Marsha Howe is the quintessential wedding planner.

After organizing my Niagara-on-the-Lake wedding with her from my current home in Calgary, Alberta, I can say without a doubt that she is every wedding magazine and Vera Wang book combined into one person. She is the complete package with talents in all areas including those as a wedding designer, florist, stylist, mediator, comic and voice of sanity.

Her unwavering sense of good taste and style contributed a great deal to the success of every aspect of my three-day, 160 person wedding weekend. From old-fashioned etiquette to our own personal modern touches, Marsha helped me, my husband Joel and our families discover and achieve our own unique vision of the perfect wedding day.

Thank you for the gorgeous flower displays you created for our wedding at the Grand Victorian... We received many comments about the beautiful arrangements -- especially the fireplace mantles. 

Thank you for taking the time to work with us to match our colors and help educate us about flowers. The bouquets were perfect, simple and beautiful…We loved the tulips!

Marsha:

I want to thank you so…much for all your hard work and help to make our wedding so beautiful.

It was truly a magical day and your last minute decisions on the flowers were amazing!

The rose petals at the altar (heart shaped) were something out of a fairy tale...beautiful!

We received so many comments on the flowers…(people were fighting over the centerpieces!)

You are truly talented and I want you to know September 14th will be a day to always cherish and remember. 

Love,

Shelly Strylytski & Michael O'Callahan

P. S.  We loved our cake. It was such a shame to take all of the flowers and ivy off.

Dear Marsha,

I just want to express my gratitude for the wonderful job you did with the flowers for Kim and Jason's wedding. All of the arrangements were masterpieces. Kim's bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquets were truly spectacular. Your organization of time and place of deliveries made the day move along smoothly.

We had so many of our guests comment to us about how beautiful everything looked. The guests that took home the centerpieces with the hurricanes were thrilled!

Kim said that this was the wedding of her dreams and your flower creations were certainly a big part of that.

Thank you again for everything.

Hi Marsha: 

You created the most beautiful floral arrangements and bouquets for my wedding at the Grand Victorian Inn.  I wanted to let you know that I continue to recommend your services to anyone thinking about marrying in the area - in fact, I am sending 2 brides to see you!!

I just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with your creativity and the detail that you put into your work.  I still have my bridal bouquet and a bridesmaid bouquet preserved in my fridge in our basement!  The pictures are wonderful, the flowers really made the day special.

Thank you once again - I wish you all the best - success and happiness!

Just a quick note Marsha to thank you for the exquisite flower arrangements at Erin & Matt's wedding.  You are truly blessed with great talent.

Many people commented “how lovely”, “beautiful”, “fabulous” the flowers were --“just like in a magazine”.  So, Marsha your flowers were a big hit.  Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi Marsha: 

Just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful flowers you arranged for our daughter Claire's wedding this past Sunday. They were just what we wanted.

Now, almost a week later, I have the Bridal Bouquet and two of the Bridesmaids bouquets in water at home and they still look great.  I also have the table centre pieces at home, still going strong!

The orchids were placed in the folds of the napkins and were an added touch of elegance to the look of the tables. We were really pleased with everything. I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a floral professional for any upcoming events.  

Kind Regards,

Maureen Adams (Mother of the Bride)

Marsha, 

Thank you for everything!  The flowers were exquisite.  I was sad to only enjoy them for one day, but we were off to Barbados on Sunday.  Robert Nowell, the photographer got some shots of the room and flowers before everyone was seated.  Please let me know if you're interested and I can ask Robert if it's ok to share digital copies with you when I have them.

I am pleased to hear the arrangements found another home!  I couldn't bear the thought of them just getting chucked out after one day. If you ever need a reference please feel free to contact me. 

My best,

Kathryn (Stevens)

Thanks again for making our day special.

Hello Marsha 

We would like to extend our thanks to you for helping to make our wedding at The Pillar and Post a most memorable event. The pedestal arrangements were absolutely stunning, as were the table arrangements at Queen's Landing.

Our theme was:  simple and elegant…certainly reflected in your beautiful bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. 

With Heartfelt Thanks
