I’ve had Lissa do my makeup a few times for different bridal photoshoots that I modeled in and OMG- every single time I felt absolutely beautiful! Lissa used her creative freedom to do what she does best and every single time it was flawless. I wear makeup daily but very minimal and even though she applied a full face, it still felt very light and I still felt like myself! The lashes were comfortable, my skin looked flawless and she put just the right amount of shadow on my eyes to allow them to pop! Highly recommend Lissa for your wedding or for any photoshoot!!! I can’t wait for Lissa to glam me up again for a future shoot!

Lissa and her team was absolutely wonderful from the initial contact up to the end of our wedding day! No matter what kind of wedding you're having, she will make you and your partner feel like you have all of her attention as the most important couple. Throughout the whole process, she was so professional and supportive, even with not as traditional ideas. She had such a quick response time, usually within a day, or a couple hours, and sometimes even sooner! Her attention to detail in making my timeline was also amazing and I felt that we were able to have the whole day planned to the dot before the big day. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran so smoothly and we were not stressed out at all! We had some small hiccups with the layouts that our venue had set up, but a quick word from Lissa had them fixing the issue. She's the perfect amount of assertiveness, professionalism, and friendliness with everyone, including the guests. The largest thing that stood out to us was how much all of our other vendors loved Lissa and working with her, and we could see it throughout the day. Our venue had restrictions such as a short setup window, but Lissa communicated with them and navigated the situation very well to make everything go smoothly. Even though we had a venue management person for the day of, it was nothing compared to working with someone that truly focuses on you and your needs. Our vision was captured beautifully, and we do not regret hiring her at all!

The pandemic served as a wake up call for me just like it did for so many others. Allowing me to rediscover my love for flowers and all things beautiful. Bazarr Blossoms is more than a business its a passion that allows me to stay true to that teenager who once created and dreamed inside that high school classroom.

WOW! I can not say enough on how appreciative I am of Bari and Antonia. A month before my wedding I realized I desperately needed Day of Coordinators. Bari and Antonia were so responsive and assuring. They took on my wedding with such grace. No request of mine was too much. They travelled all the way to Jersey City from Philly and were so accomodating. They spent time with all our vendors on the day of the wedding, helping set up with the florist and some of my DIY decor. They made sure my ceremony procession ran smoothly. They made sure all the little details were taken care of. The night of my wedding, the only thought I had was to have a good time, and thats because Bari and Antonia did the rest. I couldn't recommend them more if you need help on your wedding day.

We got married in Asheville end of April 2025 and we luckily found Liz from Your Perfect Day Events via Zola. We knew after the first phone conversation with her that she was a perfect fit for us. To say she went above and beyond as a wedding planner is a complete understatement! She was extremely prompt, organized, and most importantly an amazingly fun person to work with who thought of some of the most minute little details that we would have completely overlooked, but made a huge difference day off. Having her help organize our wedding was singlehandedly one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding process and we would recommend her services to literally anyone. You will not regret your choice if you go with her to help organize your day!

Sharon was amazing! Everything about our experience with her exceeded our expectations. She predicted our needs before the wedding and advised the best ways to prepare for our special day. On our wedding day, her patience and friendliness put everyone at ease. She was fun and professional when working with the bride and bridesmaids. Her years of experience as a photojournalist really showed, and she captured some incredible moments. The online gallery of pictures was wonderful and delivered quickly. The pictures came out vibrant and beautiful and we will cherish them for years to come. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect photographer for our wedding!
