Macey S. Sent on 09/14/2023Most Beautiful Florals & Helpful Coordination
If I could give you one piece of wedding planning advice: HIRE ESSEN EVENTS FOR FLORAL AND DAY OF COORDINATION!!! I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about the Essen Events team. I truly could not have hand-picked a better floral/day-of coordination vendor. Florals - Hailey was amazing and took my vision and brought it to life...but a million times better! I am still obsessed with every floral detail from my wedding and we got SO MANY compliments from our guests on our florals. We had multiple people tell us that they were the most beautiful florals they'd ever seen and multiple people asked Hailey for her card. I seriously tear up thinking about my florals. Coordination - we had the pleasure of working with Melya for our day-of coordination. She went above and beyond helping coordinate timeline, troubleshoot vendor issues, setting up and tearing down every piece of decor, and fielding everyone's questions. Just one amazing example of how helpful she was: I forgot a frame for a photo we were going to be using in our ceremony and she helped switch out our unplugged ceremony sign for a photo of my brother that was going to be incorporated into our ceremony within minutes of walking down the aisle. She left the unplugged ceremony sign until all guests were sat, and then switched out the sign with the photo for the first bridesmaid to walk down the aisle with. Amazing! Thank you Essen team! -

We cannot thank Essen Events and Hailey, Nicole, and Victoria enough for helping make our wedding day the best day ever! Hailey, Nicole, and Essen's Aisle Planner software kept our planning on-track and stress-free, and Nicole and Victoria kept our big day on-track and stress-free, from beginning to end. One of our guest's plus-one happened to be an out-of-state wedding coordinator and at the end of the night she said our wedding had "the perfect run-of-show" -- we agree! We wholeheartedly recommend Essen's Day-Of Coordination service! -

Great design and coordination!
We hired Hailey and her team for full service planning and floral design. She created design boards for the wedding and floral design which perfectly captured my vision for the day. Her floral designs were absolutely breathtaking and really made the design for the event spaces go from good to breathtaking. She was great in helping us determine event space options and narrow down our choices. She provided excellent recommendations for vendors. Day of, everything felt like it had a time and place - the day flowed smoothly thanks to her detailed timeline. -

We hired Hailey and the Essen Events team for our floral and day of coordination package. We have nothing but incredible things to say about Hailey and her team. From the moment we hired them to when we left the venue as a married couple, they were incredible. Even as busy as she is, Hailey was able to get back to us in a timely manner with every last one of our questions. Our wedding was at The Hutton House and Hailey had plenty of recommendations and thoughts about what would look good and how we could reuse the floral at different points in the day. Hailey was also such a calming presence on a very hectic and sometimes stressful day and we were grateful we hired them for our day of coordination. The Essen team handled most of the communication with our vendors as our wedding day was getting closer and they were very thorough with ensuring everything was set up for an incredible day. We wish we could rate them higher than 5 stars! -

Tyra G. Sent on 12/22/2021Would recommend for coordination AND florals!
We used Essen for both Day of Coordination and florals. They stepped in to do florals last minute when our other florist fell through and were honestly the biggest lifesaver and did a BEAUTIFUL job. I thought I was a really organized and on-top-of-it bride but they thought of questions to ask and things to plan for that I never would have, in addition to being so sweet and pleasant to work with. They are also super experienced and connected in the Minneapolis wedding vendor community which was really helpful for additional recommendations and relationships. -

Hailey at Essen Events was incredible to work with. We hired Hailey for our floral, design, and day of coordinator. She did an excellent job creating a design guide and helping us source all rentals. She helped us reschedule due to COVID by communicating with all vendors, something she did not need to provide but went above and beyond to do so. Hailey provided us with an online software to help plan the wedding and worked with all vendors to create the day of timeline. On the wedding day, she took care of all set up and tear down. She was the best day of coordinator, ensuring everything was on time and smoothly. We would not have had such a beautiful and smooth wedding without Hailey! She is excellent at what she does and I cannot say enough good things about her. I would highly recommend Hailey to any bride looking for floral, design, or a wedding planner! -

I am so happy that I chose Essen Events for my wedding flowers! Hailey was very organized and friendly. I was impressed that she creates custom quotes for interested customers, which include images of what your flowers might look like (I find that other florists weren't as helpful on this front). I also found her prices to be reasonable. I ended up ordering 2 bridal bouquets (for split wedding), 6 bridesmaid bouquets, a toss bouquet, cake flowers, and 22 centerpieces for $2,000.
We split up our wedding ceremony and reception because of COVID-19, and I am looking forward to see what Hailey will create for the reception. The bridal bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets I got for the ceremony were absolutely gorgeous! They had a lovely color palette, and I thought they were the perfect size. We decided to pick them up from Hailey's house to save on delivery costs, and they were securely packaged. She even let me keep the vases! Overall, I had a very positive experience with Essen Events. -

Made the entire process a dream!
Hailey was simply amazing. She made the entire wedding process so much fun! When my husband and I walked into the venue it was a dream come true. Every detail was perfectly executed and thought out. Hailey is talented and professional. Her amazing attitude made you feel like part of the family. -

Hayley is so awesome! Our day was made so much easier by booking with ESSEN. We not only had Hayley do our flowers but we also rented decorations from her which was a huge time and headache saver. I only had to buy a handful of separate items that she couldn't provide and were easily found at Michaels/Hobby Lobby. Hayley is so friendly and has a beautiful vision for weddings. She is willing to listen to what the bride/grooms vision is too and incorporate that in perfectly to their day. -

Hailey was my day of coordinator and she was wonderful to work with! She went to my venue walkthrough with me, was very responsive to emails, and told me to just relax before my wedding as she took care of all the vendor contacts. On the day of I got to have fun and enjoy myself because I knew Hailey has all the details taken care of, she had all my decorations and stuff packed and ready in my car so at the end of the night I could just get in my car and leave. I’m really happy I got to work with her because my wedding was just perfect :)
