I love Patty! She was the day of coordinator and florist for my wedding on January 10, 2009. Having her as DOC and florist was the greatest asset in our wedding. She is very professional and good at what she does. My husband and I could not have had our wedding if she didn't help us!
Before my own wedding planning, I had never attended a wedding in the U.S, so I didn't know much about weddings and I was extremely nervous! Patty was just there to listen and give me advice (very quick in replying to my emails too). On the day of the wedding, she did such an excellent job with time management and made sure that things ran smoothly.
After many hours of browsing centerpieces on the Internet, I started becoming very picky about my flowers. Patty's quote was very reasonable that I worried all the floral arrangements were going to be small!! I sent her many emails and met up for another consultation- She definitely made me feel better.
When I saw my bouquet, I knew I was so silly to have worried! She is very creative and all the floral arrangements were gorgeous. We received many compliments from the guests.
My husband (not so into wedding) and I might not be the easiest couple to work with, but Patty was very patient and caring. We can't thank Patty enough!
We definitely recommend everyone considers hiring Patty as their DOC and florist.
My husband and I where so happy how Patty transformed our ordinary backyard into this elegant event. We set-up all the linen, tables and so on, but when the flowers where put in their place we where both in amazement. I heard so many compliments!!!! The floral balls and the hanging votives under the awning where my favorite. I still have them hanging and I really don't want to remove them because they look so beautiful! Patty went out of her way. Not only did she work with our budget, but she was understanding when we kept adding and changing things around. Thanks Patty for the GREAT JOB!!!! You made our wedding the talk of the year!!!!
I am so lucky to have found Patty as my florist and day-of-coordinator! My wedding is the second wedding that I have ever been to, so when I started planning, I really didn't know what to do. Although I hired Patty only to be my florist and my day-of-coordinator, she went above and beyond, helping me plan the wedding months ahead of time and doing things that a full-on events planner would do. Her flowers were just as amazing as her coordinating skills, and all of my guests were telling me how much they loved the flowers and how smoothly the wedding went. On top of all this, Patty is a wonderful person who genuinely cares about you and wants you to have the wedding of your dreams. I will recommend Patty to anyone in a heartbeat!
Patty is really sweet and a lot of fun to work with. She's very flexible and works with any budget. When I first met with her, I just told her what type of flowers I wanted to use, and she came up with really beautiful ideas. Her prices are very affordable...even when I added on an extra 20 pin-on flowers for relatives, she was able to offer me a discount on top of her low prices. Overall, a fantastic vendor to work with!
Patty is very easy to work with. The greatest thing about her is that she'll work with whatever budget you have!! I think compared to what other florists were quoting me, my budget is on the extremely low side, yet Patty was very understanding of this, saying that she believes in providing the best service for brides no matter what their budget is. A lot of florists require you to have a minimum and do not like it when you want to DIY some aspects of the decor to save money. Patty, however, is completely okay with it, even offering creative suggestions and helping you envision a beautiful setting for your wedding day. I had a consultation with Patty recently. In addition to being very punctual, she answered all my questions, thoroughly demonstrating her knowledge of a wide array of flowers. She has a lot of great ideas that I think I will use for my big day.
Patty was by far the best ever to work with. My husband and I were very pleased with her dedicated work. We hired patty as our florist and coordinator for our wedding which was on Oct 18, 2008. First I like to say that we were very happy with Patty's work. She is so organized, well prepared, detailed oriented, and replied promptly via email or phone. She will work closely with your vendors and will overlook everything so that you and your husband will be carefree on your big day as your coordinator. She is the total package if you are looking for someone to help organize, coordinate or plan your wedding. She will work efficiently so that you will stay within your budget and will help you achieve your ideal wedding and I promise you will not regret hiring Patty as your coordinator or florist or both. Our wedding colors were lime green and petal pink and she did a fantastic job putting together our color schemes using the perfect combination of green orchids, pink calla lilies, carnations, and roses. Our flowers looked amazing and I was so pleased with the total presentation. I especially loved my boutique and wishing tree. If you are looking for a great florist and an organized coordinator for your wedding, consider hiring Patty and you and your husband will be so relaxed and satisfied with her job. I promise...
I almost wish that Patty only does wedding flowers, but she also does wedding planning on the side (my competitor!). I am just kidding. Patty makes beautiful flowers, and I will hire her again to do wedding flowers for my future clients. Thanks.
I have helped out in weddings a dozen times before... so when it came time for my wedding, I was a little hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator. Since I was new to the area, I convinced myself that it was worthwhile to have the expertise of someone else to help me plan my wedding. Many times brides get advice from other brides - which isn't a bad idea, but their experience is limited to their experience. With Patty, she has done many weddings and can give you the skinny on how they compare to each other. I found that to be so valuable!
Throughout the planning process, I would shoot Patty emails with questions about timeline, invitation etiquette, budget questions... the whole gamut. Not only was she knowledgeable, she always got back to me within a day. It was so nice to have someone else know the ins and outs of your wedding day. On the day of, Patty and the assistant made sure everything went according to planned. I was so relaxed and enjoyed my wedding day so much. I even got to finish my dinner! At one point, we were even ahead of schedule at the reception. It was unreal! I attribute so much of my wedding success to Patty. Not only does she take care of the logistics to a T, you will be able to relax and fully enjoy your day knowing that there is someone incredibly competent running the show.

Patty was a delight and we were so happy that we hired her to do the flowers for our September 20th wedding. From the very beginning, Patty made it her mission to provide us with a beautiful wedding...at a reasonable price. She had many wonderful ideas and incorporated those ideas into gorgeous flowers at our wedding. In fact, several of our guests complimented us about how beautiful our flowers were. On the day of our wedding, Patty was calm and professional - even though her helper failed to show up - and helped pin on boutonnieres and corsages during our photo session. She helped to make our wedding a huge success and we're very thankful.
Patty was always responsive whenever I had made a change or had a question. She really listened to my concerns. Although I know she was very busy, she made me feel as if our wedding was the only one on her radar at the moment. She is a tremendous floral designer and will make your wedding absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Patty and 8events.
I couldn’t have asked for a better day-of-coordinator and florist for our wedding on Nov. 8, 2008. I found Patty through Yelp and Project Wedding and had to meet this person with such rave reviews. After I read on her website that she caters to floral designs of all sizes and budgets, I knew we had to meet her. Via e-mail, I vaguely explained my floral vision – various shades of purple and table centerpieces with flowers submerged in multiple cylinder vases. At our meeting, Patty presented us with her interpretation of my vision and stayed within our minuscule floral budget. We walked out of the meeting knowing with certainty that we had to look no further.
We hired Patty for day-of-coordination but she was always ready and available to answer any questions and provide suggestions throughout our entire planning process. She went absolutely above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I consider myself meticulous and organized but Patty is so unbelievably on-point with every tiny detail.
Her floral arrangements are artistic, fresh, and picturesque. All our guests admired the flowers and I owe it all to Patty. I don’t know how she was able to deliver all those flowers from Sunnyvale to Monterey (a 1 ½ hour drive) and her delivery charge was very fair.
Patty truly loves weddings and it reflects in her work. Thank you Patty for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
Patty was one of our most favorite vendors for our 8/9/08 wedding. She is totally affordable, and worked with the budget that we had set for our flowers, and gave us exactly the flowers we wanted! And they were beautiful and everything that I had hoped for. She was so easy to work with and accomodating, but still giving her opinions in a non-pushy way. She genuinely cares about the brides that she works for, and she really loves what she does. The flowers were just as awesome as she is!
Patty did an amazing job at my wedding. Everyone commented on how beautiful the floral arrangements were. I gave her very little direction besides color scheme and what she came up with was more beautiful than what I could ever imagine.
Patty was definitely very easy to work with. I hired her as my day of coordinator and florist for my wedding. She is very detailed, organized and very thorough. She was able to make sure everything was taken care of such as coordinating with my other vendors to creating my wedding timeline which gave me little to worry about. She made our wedding day go through smoothly. Her enthusiasms for weddings created this sense comfort for me as the bride. Her beautiful, artisitc ability shows through her work of gorgeous bouquets and eleqant centerpieces. It was definitely a pleasure working with her. My husband and I could not have asked for a better person for the job.
Patty is a great wedding planner, not only because how great of job she
did on my wedding, but how enthusiastic she is on what she does. Patty
had basically taken care of everything for me in such a short turn
around period. Good advises were given through out the entire
preparation process, from providing me with good recommendations on
florists, photographers, DJ's, wedding sites and bakeries, to becoming
my wedding facilitator. It was nice to have a knowledgeable guide like
her to help prepare a perfect wedding. With her help, I can ensure that
you're in good hands and you will never forget about this most memorial
moment in your life!

Five stars is the max rating but I'd give her a hundred if I could. She did my sister's wedding on 9/27/07 - and her work was just so beautiful (and affordable) that I wanted her to do mine the following year!
Patty did my wedding on 9/6/08. She did an excellent job. It's very difficult to put into words how spectacular her work is, but it was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. She is affordable and by far the most attentive and accomodating person to work with. She also really helped us by giving us advice and suggestions. She saved us from a few disasters at the venue and on the fly - just minutes before our ceremony! She's wonderful!
We highly recommend Patty!!!
I recently worked with Patty on a wedding and she was wonderful - before, during and after. She kept everything on schedule and was great at communicating what was going to happen and when... which is really important when you are the photographer.
Hi.. Patty.
Nice to see you here
