    We couldn’t recommend Barbie enough!

    Bashes by Barbie coordinated (Satin Slipper’s package), decorated and flowered our wedding. We couldn’t recommend her enough. She was so on top of everything, transparent with us on every detail, and there were a lot of details. She went out of her way to find the right color sashes, the perfect arrangements we wanted for the flowers, and everything she brought to the table was high quality. She had great ideas from her experience, she met our energy as we planned, and on the day of she helped us immensely! She kept everything on track, did a good job staying connected with us, and the behind the scenes hiccups that were out of our control stayed behind the scenes thanks to her hard work. If you’re reading these reviews undecided – we highly recommend calling Barbie and scheduling a meeting. We’re really happy we did, she is amazing, and if we could do it all again it would be with Barbie a hundred times over. Honestly, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and none of it would’ve been possible without her.

    September at the English Inn

    Hiring Barbie was one of the best decisions for our wedding day! She understood our vision and made it come to life. She did set up and take down, designed all of the tables and floral decor, and also did our day of coordination. In hindsight, I wish I had hired Barbie to do absolutely everything! She was so on top of it, making sure everything was on time and in place. Honestly, one of the best things to hear on your day, aside from "I do", is "I'll take care of it." And she did. Our day went smoothly and was absolutely beautiful because of the wonderful work that Barbie and her team did.

    Barbie was always on top of things and made sure she stayed in contact with the vendors. Barbie is exceptionable at her job and made sure that our special day went smoothly. I am glad we had the pleasure working with her and would recommend Bashes By Barbie, LLC.

    Barbie and her team were absolutely amazing! I had her do my whole wedding from decor to flowers, to coordinating. If anything went wrong the day of my wedding I have no idea because she made it run soooooo smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful our hall looked and how well of a job was done by Barbie and her team. One of her assistants Kia was awesome too! Before walking into the reception she made me look flawless! Even some of my last minute requests Barbie made happen. She was well organized and answered any questions I had very timely. I appreciate everything she did for me and would 100% recommend her to any future brides. If you don’t want the stress of planning every little detail and not being able to enjoy the moment. she is your girl!

    Wow, where do I start... First of all, I will say that there was no way that we could have pulled our dream wedding day off without Bashes by Barbie, just no way... Our wedding day was 40 years in the making, no kidding. So with that, my husband and I took three more years for our engagement period. There was a reason for that, if we waited for each other for forty years we wanted to hire the best of the best vendors. We hired the best photographer, we hired the best DJ, we hired the best baker, we hired the best caterer, we hired the best venue for our size of wedding. So naturally, to bring ALL of this together, we knew that we had to hire the best wedding coordinator and decorator.

    Our wedding day was very complex, to say the least. Barbie was well equipped to handle every last detail, she brought in a bartender and entire staff to cover EVERYTHING. From setting up and decorating the hall, to flipping the hall and preparing it for dinner and dancing she and her staff did it all! She provided all of the beautiful flowers (and there were a lot of beautiful flowers) to coordinate with the venue management and all of the rest of the vendors, we didn't have to lift a finger or a hand unless we requested another glass of champaign... Sadly, when our night came to an end, she and her crew cleaned up everything, again, we didn't have to lift a finger. We just took in the moment.

    With that, Barbie and her crew were always working in the background and yet always there to make sure that we and our guests were having the time of our lives. So you may ask what did Bashes by Barie do to go above and beyond for our special day? Going above and beyond is how she does business! Everything that she does is going above and beyond, she doesn't know how to do mediocre... I would recommend Bashes by Barbie to anyone who is getting married or having a special event.

    Barbie was great to work with and went above and beyond. She was there from start to finish and made sure our day ran as smoothly as possible. The day went perfect and she made sure if there were any issues, the bride and groom were not bothered with it. She seriously saved my sole!

    Do NOT hesitate for a second to use Bashes by Barbie! Barbie is a floral artist... if there is such a thing! She is very creative in her design.She is not only a pleasant lady to work with, she is reasonably priced, honest and an excellent communicator. She actually returned emails and phone calls!! I live in Clarkston, the wedding was in Grand Rapids and Barbie is located in Lansing.We had absolutely no issues with the miles between us.I had planned to do all the decor myself for my daughter's wedding this past Sept. However it became an overwhelming task for 21 tables and cocktail area of the hall. I had spent over a year searching for vintage and antique crystal items for the centerpieces plus all the mirrors, scatter, candles, etc. I had a vision of simple elegance for each table with as many candles glowing as possible! When I realized that there was no way there would be time to set up each table in the allotted 3 hours the hall gave us, I started calling around 9 months before the wedding trying to find florists/event planners that could take over and use my decor supplies/set up as well as create the floral part of the decor. I left msgs with 5 vendors. Three didn't return calls, one did call but said she would never do a wedding with "outside" decor and wanted everything rented from her. Then Barbie called me. She was so positive and was willing to take on the challenge to put the puzzle together and create what I had envisioned.Except she and her team didn't do that. She took my idea and went beyond whatever I could have imagined!!! I dropped my supplies off a month before the wedding and I felt this overwhelming task lifted off my shoulders b/c I trusted her to create something beautiful for the wedding. I was stunned when I walked into the ballroom.I couldn't believe how absolutely gorgeous and elegant the centerpieces were! When my daughter saw the ballroom, she had tears in her eyes. I immediately txt Barbie to say thank you!

    Bashes by Barbie was phenomenal! She went above and beyond, delivering our BEAUTIFUL bouquets and boutonnieres for right to us the day of. She even allowed us to add on (at a reasonable time) last minute for the gorgeous flower crowns and hearts for the flower girls! I would highly recommend Barbie to anyone!

    I had a Harry Potter wedding 3 1/2 hours from her headquarters. Not only did Barb answer all my emails within 12 hours she took the time to actually watch some of the movies so she’d have a better idea what I was talking about.
    She dealt with all our homemade touches(which was basically everything because they don’t make Harry Potter decorations/favors for not birthday parties) and dealt with my mom stressing about ridiculous things.
    Barb went above and beyond for us and our somewhat unconventional wedding and I couldn’t be more thankful she was there to share our day. Without her help I don’t think it would have turned out as amazing as it did.

    My daughters wedding went off without a hitch and I owe that all to Barbie and her crew!! Barbie was very receptive to my daughters ideas of what decorations she wanted for the wedding and reception. Barbie went out of her way to find everything she asked for (even peonies in the middle of June) and made sure that everything matched Shelby's vision. She made sure everything ran smoothly and the wedding went off on time and perfectly! As the mother of the bride, I even got to enjoy the day with my family and the guests with absolutely no stress! Even though we hired her for the Save your Soles service and as our florist (she is an amazing floral designer as well!), whenever we had questions or concerns regarding something with the wedding, she was receptive to emails and replied back in a very timely manner. You can't go wrong with Bashes by Barbie for a perfect, stress free wedding!

    I could not be more thankful for Barb and all her hard work! The flowers and decor were absolutely beautiful! Everything we discussed turned into everything I wanted for my wedding day.

    Barb was so great at checking in and making sure we were always on the same page. The day of my wedding I didn't worry about anything because I knew Barb had it handled. So thankful for all the hard work and amazing attention to detail Barb had for my wedding!

    It was one of the best decisions to hire Bashes by Barbie to coordinate our wedding, do the flowers, and allow us to rent items for our wedding. My wedding and planning up to the wedding were so stress free, because I knew I could contact Barb with any questions and knew everything would be organized for our wedding day. Our wedding day was perfect and stress free due to Barb!

    Barb was absolutely amazing! The best decision we made was hiring her for day of coordinating! The day went smoothly and she kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed - even offering to bring us drinks during dinner so we could just sit and relax. The flowers were beyond beautiful, I want to carry my bouquet every day for the rest of my life! Linens, centerpieces, setup - beautiful. She went above and beyond - even picked up napkins the morning of the wedding I had forgotten! I cannot say enough good things about Barb - she made our wedding day absolutely perfect! I will recommend her to everyone I know!

So glad that there with someone on the day of the wedding to help deal with all of the decisions and any issues that came up. She showed up early and stayed much later than it was expected. Just fantastic service!

    Barb was a fantastic! She was so helpful and accommodating to me and my husband. We had a somewhat unorthodox wedding with video games, board games, and several decor options and not only did she set up everything perfectly, she added her own touches that helped the day to go off without a hitch. I highly recommend her floral, decor and planning services!!
