Real Experiences, Real Love

Five black stars in a row.

"If you're like me, in school and work full time, and planning a wedding in Miami from the other side of the country, hire Lana! She was easy to work with, has an honest and realistic viewpoint about decor, color schemes, budget, and timelines and most importantly, knows how to deliver high quality work! She made me and my husbands wedding such a memorable experience! We literally couldn’t have asked for a for a better day! Everything looked stunning and everyone was complimenting the decor and flowers, they literally thought the wedding cost us double or triple what we spent with how beautiful everything came out!

Words cannot explain how happy I am that I found Ideal Events. Planning a wedding in Fort Lauderdale Beach is so stressful and nerve wracking. Lana put a complete end to my worry and the stress I experienced. Planning our special day was such an ease. Lana and I held our first conversation over the phone and by the end of the call everything was planned and in order for the big day! She is very sweet and professional. I was amazed at how beautiful the setup was I couldn’t have asked for anything more!
