I could not say enough about using Yanni Design Studio. They bring the most innovative ideas to life. If you want an event that will be once in a lifetime i really recommend using YDS's services. Katherine and Yanni and the team made wedding planning so much easier with their amazing designs.

Mae and the Yanni team did an outstanding job designing and putting together the floral and decor for our June 2021 wedding - and made it fun! She made the planning process so seamless even during the unknowns of planning a wedding during Covid. When the bouquets were delivered on wedding day we were all in awe. They were unique and gorgeous- which is exactly what we wanted. Our chuppah and reception area were beautiful and it felt like each piece was designed specifically for us. We highly recommend using Yanni for floral and decor!

I was not pleased with the end product of my isle. They forgot the petals down the center of the isle! Believe me I paid for those flower petals too. Walking down the isle I remember thinking, where's the flower path I'm supposed to walk down. I also wish they put more grass columns. They did a nice job setting up the reception.

I cannot sing the praises of Yanni Design Studio and their team enough. My husband and I were just married in October and worked with Mae from YDS since the beginning of our wedding planning for both our decor and flowers. She was so understanding of our vision and perfectly executed it beyond our expectations. I was worried upon researching that Yanni had lots of extravagant clients and was worried that my vision was going to be too simple for what they usually create. Boy was I wrong! Even with how different my style was compared to what I had seen from Yanni I would never even consider using

If anyone is looking for a florist to transform your vision into real life-Yanni and his team are it!! My sister used him 11 years ago for her wedding and that's when I knew I needed to have him for my wedding one day. Well, 11 years later he did not disappoint! Our wedding was an enchanted forest dream come true. Yanni Design Studio is truly the BEST.

Yanni and his entire design team are absolutely phenomenal and a dream to work with! During my first meeting with Yanni and Mae I said " I want guests to walk in and say wow! That is exactly what they delivered!

We got married over the summer and had a traditional Indian wedding! . We had a Sikh ceremony and there were specific décor requirements that Yanni already knew about! I was so impressed! It was such a nice feeling knowing they understood the importance of each function!

We wanted a romantic and elegant wedding with tons of white, pink and blush florals with a unique center pieces

Working with Yanni was a complete dream! I cannot put into words just how beautiful our reception ballroom was. When I was given a sneak peak ahead of guests entering, I was brought to tears by the sheer beauty and perfection executed by the Yanni team. I'll never forget the smell of fresh roses hitting you upon entering the room in the most beautiful way possible as you were transported to a different world. It truly took my breath away. Working with Sylwia was flawless from start to finish and she brought my vision to life 10x's better than anything I could've ever imagined. Exactly

I cannot imagine a design group better than Yanni Designs! The flowers and décor they provided for my daughter's wedding were absolutely magnificent! They achieved visual perfection! Everything--from the towering floral arrangements on pedestals to the pipe-and-drape treatments to the fresh flowers on the cake--were breathtakingly beautiful! Our designer, Shari, worked with us so closely to get every detail right. She is a talented design professional who offers the highest level of artistry and wedding expertise.

In our case, we had very specific ideas for our wedding décor; Shari listened

Yanni Design sure kept their reputation of elegance and beauty!!

I had a winter wedding and have dreamed to have a winter white wedding. Shari helped put my vision to life with outstanding decor. When searching for a florist, not only did I want someone to put my vision to life but also wanted the ease and comfort that my wedding was in good hands! The last thing a bride needs is someone to ruin your vision!

Best of all, Shari was able to work within my budget and gave suggestions where needed to keep the same WOW FACTOR!!

Thank you Yanni and team for exceeding my expectations!!

Yanni Design Studio did a MAGNIFICENT job with the decor at our wedding- they are the BEST! They did the decor for two smaller (~200 person) Pakistani events in our home--our mayoon and nikkah--and well as for two very large events for over 500 people in our hotel--our mendhi and wedding reception. The decor for the events at our home was dreamy, breathtaking, and exquisite--they created such a unique and special atmosphere with their decor that matched the vision for each of our events, amazed all of our guests, captured beautifully in all our photos and videos, and made our wedding events feel

Working with Yanni and his team, from day 1, was amazing. They were incredibly well organized and well informed about our venue, and Yanni was creative from the get go about ways to solve for our party size and incorporate special touches. They made the whole experience, which can be a bit overwhelming, easier to digest and helped navigate step by step the level of detail we needed to think about. Shari, who took over for execution, was terrific and great at reading my taste and leading us to good choices. She was also mindful of budget and helped me trim in an effective way which was still beautiful

My husband and I got married back in October. We were in awe with all of the decor. It was seriously show stopping. We can't thank Yanni and Stephanie enough with all of their help in making our vision come alive. We would definitely recommend using Yanni Design Studio for your wedding events. Their professionalism and expertise is seamless. I have attached our highlight video from Wynn Films. Here you can see the exquisite decor.

Thanks again Yanni Design Studio!!!

We worked with Shari and her team at Yanni Design and had the most amazing experience. From the planning stages to implementation, she was there with us every step of the way.

In terms of the planning, when we first met with Shari we didn't have a specific idea of what we wanted but we knew what we liked and didn't like and we knew we wanted a wedding that really represented the both of us. We showed her a couple of picture for inspiration and she was instantly able to create a vision that aligned with our personalities. Not only was she great at listening and picking up on what we

I had the most wonderful experience with Yanni Design Studio and Stephanie when planning my wedding reception and on the big day. Because of them, my reception turned out to be something that I couldn't even dream of. Stephanie and her team took my vision and made it even greater. All my guests were so impressed with the decor, the flowers, the lighting, and each detail. I was so lucky to work with Stephanie and she was lovely throughout the planning and gave great advice. She also accommodated many of my requests from my artistic point of view.

My centerpieces were the most beautiful

I had a 1.5 hour consultation with Shari over a month ago. Was promised a quote in about a week. I called to follow up about 1.5 weeks later, was told she had a personal emergency, she will getting back to me soon. I understood. Sent another follow up email and another phone call. One month later, no quote. If Shari was unavailable, someone else from the company should have stood up and made a quote a for me. Truly unprofessional and wasted my time.

As promised, I am back to update a previously lukewarm mid-stream review.

Our daughter's wedding was last Saturday, and the reception was at The Drake. Yanni knocked it out of the park. While his bed-side manner and client relationship skills fell off once we signed on, the end product was absolutely gorgeous, and that is what matters most.

We used Yanni for our 6/21 wedding at the Palmer House. His team exceeded my expectations in creating a wedding fantasy of beautiful flowers. Everything was extremely professional and all of the workers did an amazing job converting our beautiful chuppah into an amazing reception room. It seriously looked like it was a movie or fancy magazine.

I would say that when you go in to talk with Yanni you have to know what you want and have good pictures. They have a distinctive style they will default to if you are not absolutely clear with what you want. For example, my own bouquet was not quite what

I worked with Yanni and his designer Katie, for my June 7th wedding and I was blown away by the beauty they created!

I walked into the initial meeting not knowing exactly what I wanted, but after brainstorming and looking through photos, Yanni knew exactly what I was looking for. The outcome surpassed my expectations!

Working with Katie was great- she was very accommodating to all of my many requests and on top of things!

Day of: Flowers arrived as scheduled and everything from the custom birch-wood Chuppah, to decorated gift holder bird cage, to centerpieces and up-lighting were incredible
