    I cannot say enough good things about Riverwood. They supported us with day of coordination as well as our flower services. They're the type of people that have already solved a problem before you bring it to them, and will take your ideas and somehow make them better than you pictured on your day of. They're super easy to work with, and respond quickly to get your day running smoothly! Couldn't recommend them more, or be more thankful for everything they did for us!

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience planning a wedding with Riverwood Designs! They guided us through the entire planning stage, making sure we knew what to get and when to get it. We had frequent meetings where they helped us create a floor plan and an itinerary. Their customer service was excellent the entire time! When it came to the day of, they really blew me away! Just incredibly helpful with decorations and so on top of everything, they kept the day running smoothly. Truly couldn’t have pulled it off without them. Trust me, you’re in safe hands! 10/10, would recommend :)

  • Highly recommended!!

    I just want you to know how much I appreciated the help and support of Joseph from Riverwood Designs!! I don’t know how I would have gotten through this beautiful wedding day and the preparations without him! We knew we could relax and enjoy the moment because of his vigilance! The flowers were also done by Riverwood Designs and were beautiful! The attention to detail was incredible! Fresh flowers in silver bowls were surrounded by votives and made for a magical setting as the sun set! Thank you! Thank you!! It was a real pleasure to work with you, Joseph! I can’t say it enough!!

    Riverwood Designs did an amazing job planning our wedding. Joseph was always one step ahead and helped us find great vendors for photography, music and even hair/makeup. He coordinated with all vendors on all the details and timeline - leaving us to focus on the things we wanted to. Riverwood also did our flowers and they were beyond our expectations. On the actual wedding day, Joseph and Rob made sure everything ran perfectly and it was all flawless! It was so nice to just enjoy the day and know everything would be taken care of. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
