    j.r. Is amazing!

    Last year, I had the pleasure of meeting J.R. at a different venue while planning my wedding. He impressed me with his creative ideas and meticulous attention to detail. Despite the postponement of our wedding due to a hurricane and the subsequent change of venue, J.R. played a crucial role in recommending alternative venues. His professionalism, helpfulness, and dedication to his work are commendable, and the event he helped organize was elegant, beautiful, and exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend J.R. and his team for any event. Hands down my favorite vendor we hired! My husband and I could not have been more impressed with how beautiful our event turned out to be! Thank you J.R and staff!! You truly are AMAZING! xo

    Happily Ever After!

    JR and the team absolutely made our wedding The absolute BEST Ever! We met JR at another event in Tampa and were so impressed with the decor and his professionalism and attention to detail. We just new we wanted this for Us. we immediately scheduled a consultation for our wedding in Miami. We then hired JR and his team to style our wedding with a Tropical theme. scheduling was a breeze and they were very punctual, which, as you know is very important with all the stress I was under. I cant wait to renew our vows!

    Exceptional Services

    The service of J. R. and the whole team were very professional and very impressive. Especially his unique style of decor. They listen to all of our ideas and took that into account. I appreciate the professionalism they gave to us and the hard work of the entire team. J.R. was very caring and understanding to what I visioned and made all of our dreams a reality. I would definitely recommend his services again.

    Amazing and Beautiful Roaring 20s themed wedding!

    JR Navarro was an absolute pleasure to work with! I was blown away by his gorgeous decor at my rehearsal dinner for my wedding, as well as, the wedding reception. His attention to detail is unmatch and he is very detailed oriented and you can just tell that he has such a passion for his craft and he puts 110% of himself into every single detail. He is also very attentive and will communicate with you and always cater to your needs.

    Went above and beyond to make the night look perfect.

    JR was great to work with he made my wedding night look like everything and more from what we had originally sat down and discussed. He is easy to get ahold of and does his best to make your vision come to life. My wedding happened during Covid so there was a flower shortage he made sure to find the flowers that were going to be the most similar to what I had originally picked out. He’s great at working within your budget and still making the venue look perfect.

    The Absolute best designer

    I met Jr through some mutual friends at a wedding. He was very knowledgeable and I just knew at that moment I needed him to decorate my wedding. We booked him!! Everything he could have given me was above and beyond. If your looking for a floral designer, here is your guy! I have been looking back at some of the pictures from the wedding day and my eyes keep going straight to all of the decorations, I had to jump on wedding wire and say THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    The best of the best!

    JR and his staff were absolutely AMAZING! Words cannot describe how blown away my husband and I were when we finally saw our decor. From our initial consultation all the way to the day of the wedding JR was extremely meticulous in planning every detail, color, shade, type of flower, linen, centerpiece,- you name it. We truly could not have picked a better person to dress our wedding. He always made us feel like his friend and not just another client. He made sure to contact us throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding and was always super easy to contact about questions, concerns, or even just pictures of ideas I had. He was very honest about...

    Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

    I found JR and Decoratively Speaking Events while attending a wedding in Florida and I asked him if he could do my son's wedding in Las Vegas, NV, He happily accepted the offer and planned and decorated my son's wedding! Everyone was completely blown away by the elegant designs, colors and details! I can not express enough how amazingly professional and well organized JR and his team were. I put my trust in his hands and he delivered beyond our wildest expectations! I would highly recommend JR and Decoratively Speaking Events to everyone I know without exception. Thanks you JR!!!

    Looking for a dream come true? Look no further!

    J.R. was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! From our very first conversation we connected and J.R. could immediately see my vision. He really took an idea that I had floating around in my head for months and turned it into reality. We had such a great time planning this together and bouncing ideas off of each other. He went above and beyond my expectations. We received SO many compliments from guests and the venue on how beautiful everything was. His attention to detail is truly his superpower and I couldn't have been more pleased! I actually cried when he showed me the room because it was such a dream come true. I can't thank him and his team enough. Thank you so, so, much decoratively speaking events!

    Artistic Florist and Event Designer

    JR did a wonderful job at our event. Our centerpieces were unique and better than we even discussed! Our wedding was a destination wedding and JR was more than willing to take our feedback via phone and pictures to ensure our centerpieces were customized just for us. We never expected the stunning sweetheart table to be so beautiful. Our guests commented that the table with its backdrop and chandelier was spectacular and they had not seen a table like that at another wedding!
    Our beach wedding had to be moved inside at the last minute and JR and his team set up the ceremony, cocktail and reception area without us having to worry about anything. JR is not only...

    They were very professional and super attentive to us and what we wanted. Our reception was beyond my expectations.

    Our reception was elegant and so tastefully decorated. I asked for red roses and it was amazing what was done for us. Memories we will always treasure. Thank you so very much...

    Magical, amazing and perfect

    JR is truly amaaaazing! You can trust his opinion and suggestions for sure. I can honestly say that he will make sure the bride and groom agree with everything (no matter who pays). The entire set up was perfect. All the flowers were stunning and in perfect condition. He sets up from the night before with an awesome crew. Another thing I appreciated was his communication all the time. He wanted to make sure the bride was good and relaxed during the entire process. I don’t have absolutely no compliant or anything I would’ve changed from him or the beautiful decoration. He’s so honest and open about everything. He also was so good about making sure someone was covering...

    Magical, mystical, romantic

    Let me just start with J.R.... from start to finish he was honest.. I really had no idea where I wanted to take my vision for my wedding so I handed JR the reins and he navigated perfectly. He always kept in touch to make sure I was comfortable and I loved the options I was presented with.. He made it very easy and kept it from being overwhelming for us.. He took every jumbled thought from inside my head and turned into my wedding reality and I was so speechless. Not only is he amazing at his Job, he’s an overall amazing person and never takes advantage.. he’s an advocate and a friend.. without him or his wonderful...

    Visions turned into reality

    JR transformed my dream into reality. My wedding was everything I wanted and more. He was able to do rhis despite only meeting me in person once and communicating with me on the phone and via text. He is truly amazing and very professional.

    JR at Decoratively Speaking Events did a wonderful job with our wedding at the Straz Center. My budget was not huge, but he made it work and never made me feel like I was getting less than 100% of his time and attention. He visited the venue several times, kept in contact with the venue and with me, and came to set up the day before the wedding. When my bridesmaids saw the reception room all decorated they gasped like we were on a david tutera show! LOL I really have no regrets and would recommend DSE to anyone.

    What can I say about JR, well lifesaver, extremely talented, amazing to work with just to name a few things. My husband and I honestly searched and had two florists we sat down w and neither understood what we wanted as well as Jr. I've honestly been racking my brain on what to say about him and his company. My husband and I got married on November 20th and still to this day we have people telling us how stunning the arrangement were and the linens. Part of me honestly miss planning my wedding as an excuse to talk to Jr :-) I can tell you, if you choose this VERY talented man to design your wedding you will...
