The Ivy Chest and working with Donnie and her lovely daughter's was a wonderful experience for us during these past few months getting ready for my daughter's wedding - Donnie created some beautiful floral arrangements for us and she, along with her daughter, was my "day-of" wedding coordinator. I can't say enough good things about how flawless the day went with those two in charge all day. Thank you for all you did for me :)

I will never be able to thank Donnie and the rest of the Ivy Chest team for their professionalism, creativity and resourcefulness. I hired Donnie as a day-of coordinator for my 10/30/21 wedding at the Bright Box theatre. I was on of those brides that started getting worried about day-of logistics and Donnie and her daughter solved every single issue I had even before the wedding.
- Donnie knows the surrounding area very well, so after hearing that we were paying over $2,000 for a shuttle, she was able to recommend a local service that ended up saving us up to $1,500.
- Donnie and her team are also AMAZING florists that provide beautiful centerpieces for the our rehearsal dinner last minute.
- I had already contracted with ANOTHER florist that turned out to be a complete disaster the day of my wedding. I was in tears over my bridal bouquet and without me even knowing, Donnie made me a completely new, beautiful bouquet. She even made a boutonniere for my groom to match. They completely SAVED THE DAY.
- Their creativity was amazing to see, they used the decor a brought for our venue in ways I wouldn't have even thought of. I loved seeing their passion for creating unique wedding experiences come to life.
From what I heard from other brides, your day-of coordinator is supposed to solve all the issues without any of them coming back to you - the Ivy Chest team went above and BEYOND to make sure our dream wedding was executed. My only regrets are not hiring Ivy Chest as my FLORIST and wedding coordinator sooner. Donnie and team were truly fun and personable to work with. We came to Winchester to get married and we honestly left with new friends! I cannot wait to see the Ivy Chest grow as a business, I know they will be so successful because of the love they showed us in all the hard work they put into our wedding details.
If you're getting married in the Winchester area, hire Donnie and the Ivy Chest team ASAP!!!

There are so so many good things we can say about Donnie. She played a HUGE part in making our wedding dreams come true. She was on sight from around 2pm to at-least 7:30pm making sure all of the flowers and other decor items were where they should be. She made the most beautiful floral arrangements and set up the most amazing ceremony for us. She made sure everything we had wanted happened, and constantly checked with us on the day of to make sure we liked it all. She even made a pocket boutonnière for the first time just for my fiance and it was AWESOME! Donnie will go above and beyond to make your wedding floral and decor dreams come true.
