Miriam Dobano is excellent. I gave her an idea and she developed it into a beautiful concept. Every detail was impecable. She went beyond my expectations. She's very easy to work with, has excellent taste and ideas, and is very responsible. I would definitely recommend!!!

Miriam Dobano Gracias, por hacer nuestro sueño realidad, súper responsable, organizada, puntual, gracias por el profesionalismo. Muy dedicada, un trabajo excelente y bello. Espero volver a contratarte para otros eventos.

Gracias infinitas,
Yolianna & Jorge

Im glad I found Miriam for my wedding! At first, I had just a few ideas for my wedding decoration then I told her what I wanted, but she went above and beyond what I was looking for. She is a very creative person, responsible and committed to make everything look perfect. For a perfectly decorated wedding, I highly recommend Miriam.

Miriam is wonderful! I am so thankful to have worked with her for our wedding. She made my dream come true! Her work was AMAZING! From the very beginning she made me feel confident that everything was going to be perfect. She was very easy to get in contact with. Once we arrived to PR, she surprised us with homemade bottles of coquito for all of our guest. She was on board for anything. We made last minute changes and added things and it was never a big deal. I would highly recommend Miriam Dobano!

I want to say Doba performs wedding miracles! My room was an absolute 10/10 I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life. She pays special attention to details & listened to what I wanted. My flowers were red roses & I felt like I had a million of them. She went above & beyond my expectation for example, I forgot to bring my wedding favors & of course she magically found a replacement, I don't even know how?! she must have a magic wand! I so surprised & happy. She is professional & has the most classy & elegant taste. So thankful for all her work!!

Miriam was great to work with. We got so many complements on the flowers and decorations. The room was absolutely gorgeous. It looked like a fairytale. Miriam transformed the room into the most perfect setting. It was soft and romantic. Miriam also handled the rental of linens and chairs.

To be honest, I was slightly concerned at first because Miriam is so popular and very busy. I thought perhaps I'd get lost in the mix, but the flowers and decorations and set up for our wedding was PERFECT. My husband even commented and flowers was not really on the top of his priority list. She went above and beyond our expectations. There were things that she did that we didn't even think of or ask for like different kinds of candles, a card box for people to put their gifts and different flowers on each table in various vases, not just one centerpiece.

I wish I could have gotten to talk to Miriam more, unfortunately the day was so busy that I only got to see her as I was getting ready and got to give her a quick hug. Thanks so much Miriam! You are...

Miriam, there are really no words to express how I felt when I entered the room. It was a dream come true. I am so grateful for everything you did for my wedding to make it beautiful and spectacular. Despite having a strong weekend with the other weddings, you worked extremely hard to make everything perfect. Everyone was crazy with the decoration and details...and I live in love with my bouquet!!!! ...You're simply the best! A big hug for you :)

Miriam was great to work with! I was consistently surprised by her positive attitude, incredible flexibility, and prompt response time. I gave her creative license with the centerpieces, and she did not disappoint. The flowers were gorgeous! She even provided candles and vases. We hired Miriam for our November 10th, 2012 wedding in Old San Juan, and we would definitely recommend her for yours.

Miriam was extraordinary! She surpassed my expectations in all ways. I was more than blessed with her and I highly recommend her work. She's more than a supplier, she's a true blessing and a good friend.

Miriam. Is the best most creative florist and decorator in PR! She did an excellent job at our wedding! We loved our flower arrangements and reception hall!!! She did the best she could with the flowers she received! Unfortunately because American Airlines was on strike that week, she was not able to get all flowers delivered on time and I believe that is why the bouquets were not her best work as well as the church decorations ... But I have to say I would choose Miriam again!! She is excellent at communication! She would always email me, text me very fast!! She was my florist, my decorator and my emotional support!!! She did a beautiful candy buffet!! All the guests love it!!! Choose Miriam she is the Best you will Ever find!!!

If you want your dream wedding to become a reality you absolutely need to hire Miriam Dobano to decorate your wedding. Out of all of the vendors I worked with she was the most professional, attentive, accommodating, and creative. She was the first person I hired not only because the images of her work of art were breathtaking but because she was personable and always made time to talk (she always answers her phone). She went above and beyond her specialty of decoration and referred other vendors she thought were appropriate for our wedding needs before we actually signed a contract (a rare act of faith amongst other vendors). She took the time to meet with me as soon as I arrived on the island and went over all the details of the wedding. She invited us out to breakfast for a second meeting and when I left I felt like I was talking to a friend, that’s how personable she is. I wasn't the kind of bride that was picky or very detailed about what I wanted, I simply gave her the overall theme of the wedding, preferred colors and flowers as well as some elements I wanted to include and she took it from there. Giving her the space to develop my tropical chic wedding was the best thing I could have done because she went above and beyond my limited creativity. We ended up having 60 people over our initial contract and she was very generous in accommodating the extra guests charging us for the expenses of material. To this day our guests can't stop talking about how beautiful the wedding was. She went above and beyond our expectations and I don't think anyone else would have reached her level of creativity and expertise. I highly recommend Miriam, she is worth every single penny and more.

My husband and I had a small ceremony at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan this past Saturday. We already had our wedding back home in Atlanta back in April and this was just a symbolic ceremony with our close family in friends. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to have flowers but I started looking into in and found Miriam on Wedding Wire. I sent her a quick email and she responded within minutes. We continued to exchange emails throughout the day about what I wanted and by the end of the day she had emailed me a quote. I ended up meeting up with her the day before the ceremony because she was doing another wedding at our hotel just to finalize the details. She was wonderful and so super sweet! On the day of our ceremony the flowers were absolutely gorgeous and she went above and beyond and still charged us the amount we originally discussed. She let me keep the vases from the flowers to enjoy in our room for the rest of the week. I would highly recommend Miriam and her services. I can't wait to get our pictures!

I worked with DOBA by Miriam Dobano and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. First and foremost I decided to plan a destination wedding in 8 months and was completely lost. Not only did she work with my budget for the decor and flowers but she also helped me with alot of other aspects of my wedding like chairs, linens, cake, and wedding planner. I saw alot of her work on facebook and I was amazed. Planning a destination wedding is very difficult because you cant see nothing until the actual day, but Miriam was very reassuring and everything was perfect. The decor turned out better than I could ever imagine!!! Miriam was very easy to work with. Very prompt responses via email whenever I had any questions. She is very professional and very honest! I am glad I went with her decorating services!

Miriam went the extra mile to make our day a perfect one. I would recommend her services to anyone. Great advice and super responsible.

Miriam Dobano made a wonderful decoration in my wed. It was just amazing her ability to transform a common place in a magical place. People still asking me about my decorator. More important she worked with my budget and made miracles with my low budget. She demonstrate a great responsability and professionalism. I highly recommend her for weddings no matter the budget. She is so flexible.....

Mirriam was amazing. I contacted her on the very last minute but she was more than willing to work with me and got exactly what I wanted. She was willing to go above and beyond including meeting me wherever I was and advising about the best vendors in town given that I wasn't from the area. She was friendly, flexible and hard working. Most of all, she followed my vision and made it perfect. -Tabitha

Everything was beautiful, tasteful and simple. Just as I wanted.

Thank you for a gorgeous day!

Miriam had been very responsive to my questions and specific requests. The flowers were absolutely beautiful!... Miriam understood what I wanted and was very creative to make it work with our budget. She also went out of her way to help us set the tables when we realized that the construction in Old San Juan would interfere with the original plan.

Miriam was great! I had to organize my wedding from Connecticut not only did she give me excellent service she also provided me with ideas and advice. I felt like we were working with a friend, she is professional and takes your vision and brings it to life. Everyone commented on the flowers and they were amazing. I would ALWAYS recommend her to anyone! It was an amazing evening thanks to her work!

I told her the flowers and the colors that I wanted and also told her that I wanted everything to look beautful and since my wedding was plan within only three weeks in advance I wanted to be delicate and special. She did it! At last minutes just the afternoon before the wedding Los Chavales change me the room of the wedding without notice. It was Miriam who found out. She make the room look spectacular getting some additional decorations within less than ten hours for the wedding while calming me down and cheering me up. Guest walked in and were amazed. My husband and me are very pleased. Pictures look spectacular! She is the best!!!

Miriam was the best, not only did she take care of all the flower arrangement, she also helped me arrange for a dj and party rental. The flower arrangements were gorgeous. She was always on quick to respond and always very professional. Would highly recommend her!!

No words can describe what she did! Espectacular I was so happy and surprised. She's amazing!!!!!

Miriam was awesome, she let me borrow lots of great extra's and helped make my day BEAUTIFUL - I highly recommend her!

Is excellent decorator. Very responsible and professional in your work and very nice person!!

Two weeks later I keep getting compliments on the wedding flowers. They were beautiful. I had a general idea of what I wanted and Miriam executed the idea to perfection and took it to the next level. She went above and beyond. She is not only a great florist/decorator, but a great human being as well. I was really blessed to have her as my florist.

If you're planning your wedding in San Juan you MUST hire Miriam to do your decorations. She's very professional, she stayed on top of everything to make sure our wedding day was perfect! She is very creative when it comes down to decorating everything. I highly recommend her, it was like she was born to do this and her prices are very reasonable. Choose DOBA by Miriam to decorate your ceremony and reception.

I couldn't have found a better florist then Miriam Dobano for my March 25,2012 Wedding. She was superb! She was very attentive to all my emails and phone calls especially since I was planning a wedding from Chicago,IL and not seeing any of the flower arrangements until the day of my wedding. Miriam is professional and does excellent work. Miriam even went above and beyond setting up and arranging the flowers and centerpieces. I would definetly recommend/trust Miriam to be your florist at your next event or Wedding.

Miriam exceed my expectations. The place that she decorated was spectacular. She is very professional. The best of the best. Thank you Miriam.

Miriam Dobano went above and beyond my expectations. I had a vision on what I wanted our special day to look like and she was able to make my dream wedding even better than I had imagined. She was very involved since the beginning and you can tell she LOVES her job since her enthusiasm is just aboslutely contagious. She really listened to what we had in mind and made great suggestions along the way. I can't say enough great things about her services.

I found Miriam on this website and am so glad that I did! If I could give her 6/5 on these categories, I would. As soon as I contacted her, she got back to me within 30 minutes and from that point onwards her responsiveness was immediate. I live in Toronto and planned our wedding in San Juan without ever having visited Puerto Rico. Miriam gave me the confidence to know I was in good hands with our decor being so far away. We had a very small wedding of 15, but she made me feel just as important as her clients who have large weddings. She is truly talented in her work. The decor looked absolutely stunning and I know she worked very hard on every detail. Miriam went above and beyond what other florists would do - she not only took care of the floral details, but other decor details as well, such as menus, favours, desserts. My wedding day would not have been the same if it were not for Miriam. I HIGHLY recommend her. Muchas gracias Miriam!!!

DOBA by Miriam Dobano was one of the best decisions we made for our March 2012 destination wedding in San Juan, PR. Our bridal consultant, Maria Lugo, recommended Miriam and, after viewing pictures of her work on her website and comparing them to other florists, I knew she would be perfect. I am not creative at all and had no interest in spending hours upon hours looking through wedding blogs and magazines for ideas. I simply told Miriam what my budget was, provided a few ideas about what I was looking for and she took over from there. I found it refreshing that she didn't try to up-sell me and force me to spend more than I could afford like some other florists.
I can't even describe how perfect it all was! I was amazed how she transformed a little cement garden area at the InterContinental into a glowing, white floral wonderland. It looked like a page taken directly out of a bridal magazine (a compliment I received from numerous guests and friends). The flowers were fresh and gorgeous, and Miriam was extremely helpful and responsive during the whole process. My husband even had a last minute request for floral arrangements for my mother and his and she came through with a fantastic bouquet of tropical flowers that they both LOVED.
Miriam's attention to detail is fantastic, her responsiveness is paramount, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome, affordable florist in San Juan.

DOBA by Miriam Dobano did the flowers for our wedding and they were incredible! We spoke with a couple of other florists in the area, but as soon as we spoke with Miriam we knew we had found the perfect match!

Miriam was such a joy to work with. We were looking for unique yet classic looking arrangements that incorporated varying textures and depth. I emailed Miriam some pictures and ideas, and her mind just took off running with combinations that I would have never even thought of. She was patient with my lack of knowledge on flowers and was even educational; helping me get to the bottom of what style we were really going for. Throughout the process, Miriam was responsive to any tweaks we wanted to make and in the end, everything was impeccably executed. I truly believe that Miriam’s eye for color and design is unmatched, and I would highly recommend her for any event!

I highly recommend DOBA by Miriam Dobano for anyone looking for a unique and beautiful flower arrangement. No order is too small (I can attest to that!) and the service is spectacular.

Thank you, Miriam, for "decorating" my day so wonderfully!

Miriam was fantastic! I didn't have a chance to meet with her until the day before our destination wedding at Laconcha Resort in San Juan. I had e-mailed her pictures and she delivered in the most fantastic fashion! She transformed my ideas and pictures into one of the most beautiful weddings I could have imagined. She was so easy to work with, very friendly and she was able to work within my budget to create just what I wanted.

Todo fue espectacular, DOBA tiene muchas ideas innovadoras las cuales hicieron de mi día especial todo un espectaculo. Gracias Miriam por hacer de mi día uno super espectacular!!!

Miriam has a way with brides that exceeds anything you might expect. She quickly became more than a vendor for my husband and I, she became a friend. On the worst day of wedding planning, she was the one the got us out of it and moved us forward. Our wedding was beautiful. Everything was perfect! More than we could ever imagine. She took out budget and exceeded our expectations. I look at the pictures, the video and cannot believe that they are of OUR wedding. The seem straight out of a fairytale. The freshness of the flowers, the crystals used, the candles...I am so thankful that we found her! I would recommend her to ANYONE, eyes closed. If you are having a destination wedding or are from the Island, choose Miriam. Trust Miriam. She will guide you through and make your venue breathtaking!

I recommend Miriam Dobano with eyes closed. She's an excellent worker, dedicated, perfectionist, and has excellent taste.

Miriam is a perfectionist, stylish, excellent, 5 stars quality!!!
I recommend her to anyone who wants an unforgettable wedding day!!

It was a Great experience working with Miriam! She was very helpful and the final result was Beautiful!!!! I loved it!!!!

Since the very first moment we contacted Miriam she listened and understood our needs regarding the details for our wedding. Her dedication, professionalism and commitment to make our dream come true made our wedding day a special and unique one. Every single invitee was amazed about the ceremony decoration, my bouquet, centerpieces, candy bar, lighting, etc.

She kept within our budget without compromising the good taste because everything was so beautiful. Suggestions were given by her not to impose but to helping us with her expertise. She was flexible and helpful through stressful moments.

We will not hesitate to recommend DOBA by Miriam Dobaño to anyone for your wedding or special event. Certainly she will be our decorator for our future special events. Thank you Miriam for everything!!

AMAZING! The wedding was absolutely beautiful. Miriam was able to transform our ideas into a work of art. We gave her the freedom to pick out and change whatever she wwanted and we're extremely happy we did because her taste is impecable. She did an absolutely beautiful job.

Our wedding day, September 3, 2011. What an amazing experience having Miriam Dobano decorator, creative decor professional and such a talented woman. Her professionalism combined with the amazing ideas made the ceremonial area during our wedding look amazing, the bride's bouquet and all of the flowers arrangements made to dress up our bridal party just amazing. The reception looked amazing with so many creative touches of flowers, glass wear, lighting and there is just so much to say that we would be able to finish this blog.

We highly recommend DOBA for any of your wedding or special event preparations. During this process of having families and friends, we confirmed that decorations makes the most important piece for having your guests feel comfortable. Having such a professional decor take care of all of the decorations is very important and it is what makes the venue feel like a dream. There is an amazing photo gallery we've provided DOBA and we will like to share with you in her website under Destination Wedding Decorations...

Sincerely,

Francisco & Lynnette

miriam es una excelente profesional, me brindo un trabajo de alta calidad a buen precio. Todos mis invitados me comentaron de la decoracion tan bonita y de buen gusto. Estoy muy agradeciida de Miriam y la recomiento a cualquier persona por ser responsable y humana.

Miriam is a true professional. Her work is absolutely flawless! She is very creative and has absolutely impeccable taste. She is also quite responsive and helpful. She will be with you every step of the way, and that definitely makes a difference in a bride's life...believe me!

I cannot say one negative comment about Miriam's work. There was not one request that Miriam did not comply with. She dealt like a pro with last minute changes and requests, and made sure that things I thought impossible, in fact came true. She made our reception site look absolutely dream like!

Thanks to Miriam and the excellent group of proffessionals that serviced our wedding, it was a TRUE SUCCESS. Thank you, Miriam!!!! I'll put in a good word for you wherever I go, and will be forever grateful for all your help with our wedding!

Excelente trato, excelente decoradora, muy profesional, confiable. Mi boda fue un sueño hecho realidad. Todo muy hermoso. Los comentarios de mis invitados eran que parecía una boda de ensueño, mágica. Sin duda para una futura ocasión o evento no dudaría en contratar los servicios de Miriam Dobaño nuevamente. Estoy 110% complacida y muy satisfecha. Que gusto trabajar con alguien así. Gracias Miriam. Sabes que estaré eternamente agradecida.

Working with Ms. Dobano was an extraordinary experience since the begining. She has beautiful ideas and excellent contacts. She was very flexible, punctual, responsible. And the most important, she did everything on my budget. I really could rely everything on her. My guests were impressed with the decoration.The room was exquisite!. I recommend Ms. Dobano without hesitation.

Everything was perfect for my wedding. Miriam Dobano did an outstanding job and people are still talking about how beautiful my flowers and centerpieces were!! I am so happy with our decision and would highly recommend her services to anyone interested!

Excelente, profesional, consejera y amiga...me guio y acompaño en el camino de todos los preparativos de mi boda!!! Gracias por ser especial y sobretodo la mejor!!!

Estuve muy complacida con Miriam y siempre estuvo disponible y dispuesta a ayudar y colaborar en nuestra actividad de 15 añós.

I unfortunately was unhappy about the end result of MY flowers. Let's start off positive though. I must say that in the beginning of planning - I was able to speak with Miriam regarding the types of flowers I wanted and she was accessible but upon reaching the week of my wedding - this proved to be difficult. My original contract had virtually the same types of flowers - but I changed the color from all white to white, blue/violet. Again, it's fine since she hadn't ordered the flowers for the wedding. I also sent Miriam colored photos of what I wanted - which finally worked for the centerpieces. I will say for just scoring her on my centerpieces - I give her a 5/5; My bridesmaids flowers were fine and the men boutinnoires were also fine. HOWEVER- my bouquet - they were already wilting when I received them - and I'm the bride. My neices' rose ball bouquets literally fell apart. The worst of it was that Miriam said she would be there preparing - which didn't happen - instead it was her assistant that was there handeling my wedding. Her workers couldn't fix the bouquet for my nieces. So that was money wasted. I expected better service and better bouquet flowers.

She is great, so creative!!! She fullfills the clients need's. Makes your event so wonderful, in accordance to your budget. My wedding looks so great, that she takes too many references. You will never be disappointed.

My wedding was during the month of July, and I was travelling back and forth during May and June; Myriam was always available and help us with all the arrangements and even last minute situations that ALWAYS happen during a wedding planning. We had many ideas and projects for the decoration and she put them all together greatly. She is excellent and very professional.

Miriam, your creativity, professionalism, people skills and compromise to go beyond your task, makes you our official events decorator for the rest of our lives. Mariem's was so happy in her Quinceanero, everybody had something to say about the decoration, the originality, the way you combine Mariem's prefer color with different elements made her birthday unforgettable. I know you are and will continue to be successful for the years to come.

Call you for my children's weddings.

Regards
Mariam
