    A Rae of sunshine!

    Rae exceeded all my dreams for my engagement party flowers. When I was planning my engagement party in the beginning of the year, I envisioned a summer Soiree. An intimate and chic night with bright flowers and a candle lit ambiance. My friend who is also getting married this year, referred me to Rae. Not only is she so sweet and friendly, but she listens to you and really understands your vision. The amount of inspiration pictures and mood boards I have sent her during these last few months and she always responded so friendly and always encouraged me to keep sending her my vision! My engagement party was on 7/15/23 and when I walked into my venue, I cried of happiness. Rae nailed my ENTIRE vision!!! The flower arrangements were so beautiful and everything I wanted, but Rae’s kind personality is what makes her work even better. Thank you Rae for being so amazing. Can’t wait to work with her during my other events!

    Simply Rae Soiree's reply:

    Thank you so much for such kind words. It was truly my pleasure and I am thrilled that you loved the beautiful outcome of our collaboration. I am excited to work together in the coming months.

    The most amazing florist you’ll find

    Where do I even begin to express our gratitude for the breathtaking work of Rae and her team at our wedding? She understood our vision and transformed it into a botanical wonderland beyond our wildest dreams. Every arrangement, from the cascading centerpieces to the ethereal bridal bouquet, was a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing an unmatched level of artistry and attention to detail. The flowers themselves were nothing short of perfection, radiating freshness and beauty throughout the venue. But it wasn't just about the flowers; it was about the ambiance she created and the comfortability she made us feel throughout the entire wedding planning process. Rae not only delivered on her promise but exceeded it, leaving an indelible mark on our special day and in our hearts. To anyone seeking a florist who can turn dreams into reality, look no further than Rae and her team!

    Simply Rae Soiree's reply:

    Thank you so much for these kind words. We are thrilled that you loved the design. It was truly our pleasure.

    Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

    Outstanding Florist

    My husband and I were introduced to SimplyRae Soirée at a bridal and wedding expo in March of 2023. Her presentation and creativity captured our attention the moment we walked past her display. At the time, we didn’t get the chance to personally speak to Raellen, but made sure to save her contact information. As I got deeper into the wedding planning process I decided to contact Raellen to inquire about her services for florals and decor. I was so pleased with her kindness, promptness and professionalism. I sent her photos of everything i had envisioned for the event. It seemed like anything I inquired about, she could make it happen. Raellen truly brought all of my visions to life. My reception was absolutely gorgeous thanks to her creative touch. My husband and I are so grateful! If you’re looking for a florist that goes above and beyond, has great communication and creates absolutely beautiful arrangements at affordable prices, please look no further and contact SimplyRae Soirée! You won’t be disappointed!

    Simply Rae Soiree's reply:

    Thank you so much for such kind words. It was our absolute pleasure to be part of such a spectacular celebration full of rich culture and tradition with your beautiful family. Wishing you all the best!

    Mrs. Benson

    I made the absolute best decision ever when I decided to hire Simply Rae Soirée! They brought every detail of my vision to life, while them all while remaining within my budget.

    They were extremely pleasant and professional, very well organized. They needed very little direction and worked very quickly. They remained calm when my emotions and anxiety were running high.
    My guests were in awe when they walked into our venue.
    I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them to anyone wanting

    The BEST floral event decor planner!

    I was honored to have Simply Rae Soirèe decorate my bridal shower and wedding reception. Their work was beyond what I had envision. Their communication and prompt responses was so helpful as it is stressful enough planning a wedding. I 10/10 recommend this company for any and all event decor.

    Absolutely Exceeded All Expectations

    This decor company went above & beyond. Rae made all my dreams come true! Ones I didn’t even know that I had. I told her ideas of what I wanted and she built on that. She made my birthday party. absolutely spectacular! She is not typical and just running with her own agenda. She actually wants you to have what you want in your vision. She is not typical and just runs with what she likes. She actually wants your vision to come to life, not hers. Which is something that I’ve found with other decor companies. She makes your dreams come to fruition.

    Made my dream wedding idea come to life ❤️

    I loved working with Simply Rae Soirée. Communication was wonderful and she took my ideas and made them come to life. I wanted a Bohemian Glam wedding and she understood exactly what I wanted, even though I was all over the place! Easy to work with and the day of the wedding went so great. I just arrived and everything was done beautifully. I had no complaints and I could be a picky Bride 😆. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wanted something extremely expensive looking but on a budget. Wonderful stress free experience.

    Simply Rae Soiree's reply:

    Thank you, It was truly my pleasure. Your Bohemian Glam vibe was all the rage, you were a beautiful bride. I am so happy that you were happy with all of the touches you didn't know that you wanted :) Wishing you all the best!

    Disappointing

    I thought that my vision was clear from the multiple pictures I sent, references to her own past work, and the extensive Pinterest board, but what I ended up with was not at all in line with the color palette I wanted or what we had discussed. I take part of the responsibility for the communication, since I should have insisted on more conversations earlier in the process, but Rae kept saying we had plenty of time. By the time she was ready to talk, I was in a new position at work where I could not step away for a phone conversation during the day at all, but I thought we were both very clear on what I wanted, since it had never changed from the moment I hired her and I had continued to send inspiration pictures via email. For the flowers on the cake, I had sent two pictures of the colors and one picture of the STYLE (again, thinking my color palette was clear), but she copied the colors of the style photo, which even included a color I specifically said I did not want, leaving me feeling like I was at someone else’s wedding. We did bud vases for the tables and from the list she sent me beforehand, I was expecting a wider variety of flowers, heights, and colors to match the colorful garden vibe I envisioned but the flowers in the vases were very short, with little variation in height and type of flower. I had told her twice that I specifically did not want floating candles and somehow ended up with them on my sweetheart table. For the surrounding tables like the guestbook and memorial, we had fake flowers, and I honestly preferred the look of those. I have had a few guests tell me the same thing.
