Best Decorator and Communicator EVER!
Saprena and Greg created gorgeous decorations for our corporate holiday party, and somehow executed exactly what was in my mind for this event. We contacted them and the whole process was smooth sailing. Saprena is so communicative and is not only insanely talented but incredibly helpful. I cannot say enough great things about this company. We will be working with them again!
Enjoy every
moment

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book your services?
For full-service planning, we recommend booking 9 to 18 months ahead; for decor, florals, and draping, 6 to 12 months is ideal. If your timeline is shorter, reach out anyway — we take on last-minute events whenever our calendar allows.
Do you travel outside Frederick?
Yes. We are based in Frederick, Maryland and regularly serve weddings and events across Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. Travel fees may apply depending on distance — just ask when you contact us.
Can you handle both planning and decor for my event?
Absolutely — many of our clients combine planning with decor, florals, and draping. Having one team manage everything keeps your design cohesive and your timeline seamless.
How much do your services cost?
Every event is different, so we provide custom quotes based on your date, venue, guest count, and the scope of services you need. Please visit our Contact page for a personalized, no-obligation quote.
Can you work with my venue's restrictions?
Yes. We are experienced with a wide range of venue rules — from load-in windows and hanging restrictions to open-flame policies — and we will coordinate directly with your venue to keep everything running smoothly.
Do you offer setup and teardown?
Yes. Our team handles delivery, setup, and teardown for decor, florals, and draping, so you can enjoy your event without lifting a finger.
