She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful!

My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized.

She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

She made us feel like we mattered and that we weren't just another business transaction for her. Kaitlin's communication style was open and honest.

Cascade Queens is the perfect florist if you’re looking into using wooden faux flowers! Dana was absolutely amazing to work with. I appreciated how she was so organized, informative, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. She regularly kept me updated on different promotions to help us stay within budget, which I really appreciated. One of the coolest parts of this experience was being able to choose my own color scheme and she designed the flowers exactly how I envisioned them. I highly recommend checking out their reference photos on Instagram or Facebook, because it really helped me get a sense of the floral styles I liked. Dana also worked with me to match everything to my color palette, offering great suggestions along the way. On my wedding day, she came in while we were getting ready and set everything up beautifully. She even sent me photos during setup to confirm I liked the placement. The floral displays on the tables were gorgeous, and the pergola she decorated turned out stunning! She also shared helpful tips on how to re-use the ceremony florals for the cocktail hour and reception tables/decor, which saved us on cost and over-ordering. At the end of the night, Dana came back to retrieve the larger pieces and centerpieces, but we got to keep our beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres. I highly recommend Cascade queens for your floral needs, Dana is amazing and I’m going to keep my beautiful florals forever!

We were thrilled to have FindOrion Photography as our wedding photographers. From the beginning, Claire and her team were prompt, friendly, and incredibly creative in their approach. They were professional, communicative, organized, and truly comforting to work with throughout the entire process. Claire was a huge part of our surprise wedding, and she totally understood the assignment, bringing our unique vision to life with us. She was so patient with our guests and worked seamlessly alongside us the entire time. The best moments of the day were perfectly captured, and we will cherish the amazing work they did for us on our wedding day. We would recommend FindOrion Photography to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and extremely talented event photographer. 10/10!
