Have made several events with Yanni. All have exceeded my expectations. The team there has an amazing amount of creativity and talent. That are also very easy to work with. I highly recommend.

I worked with Paige closely for three events including my wedding! The team at Yanni's nailed it every single time. I still remember the feeling I got when I walked into the reception room on my wedding day. They're expensive but they sure know how to listen to all your ideas, provide you options and deliver spectacular flowers. My flowers from all events were fresh for weeks!

The flowers and decor at our wedding were nothing short of spectacular. Yanni understood our vision and made it even more beautiful than we could have expected. Truly perfect, and a highlight of the day. Plus, they're nice and easy to work with.

Yanni and Paige were amazing! They were expensive but worth every penny. We visited the showroom and they have so many options and designs for you to see I felt like a queen. I am a visual person so going into your own "mock reception" was incredible they make your centerpieces and let you create right there. I was unhappy with pieces in my flowers and they took it back to fix it exactly how I wanted it.

I couldn't have been happier with all my little details and my flowers. Everyone was so friendly and made you feel like family they wanted everything to be perfect for you. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be my design team!

Very flexible and accommodating during the planning process. Shari and team were able to convert our (admittedly hazy) vision into a beautiful reality. Our wedding reception decor was incredible and set a great tone for the event.

What can I say, Yanni & his team are the best! We got engaged in 2019, legally married in 2020 & finally got our big Indian wedding in 2021. Even with the multiple date changes & the loops Covid through our way Yanni & his team were extremely professional & courteous. Our design lead was Sylwia & she was an absolute pleasure to work with! As someone who got overwhelmed with planning a wedding & not being able to narrow down options, she was very thorough in learning about my vision & showing me the options she thought would best fit my style!

Everything I asked for or envisioned became a reality at all my events and I couldn't be happier! We received tons of praise throughout our wedding events as to how beautiful each event was set up and I truly have Sylwia, Yanni, and their team to thank. I would highly recommend this team to anyone who's getting married soon as they're the best in the industry!

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.

I love Yanni, you cannot go wrong with them. They are not cheap but guess what you only get married once in your live so it's worth it. I told Silwia how I want the decorations/colors etc, and their team did a phenomenal job on my wedding day. In the future I would highly recommend them to everyone in my family. All of my guests at the wedding was amazed of how beautiful the flowers/decorations were. So many compliments from all of our guests

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 any other decor team after seeing just how fabulously they pulled it off! Thank you so much for making this day absolutely exquisite!

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.

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 two months later and my guests are STILL talking about our wedding - they said they've never seen anything like it before and know they never will. Having Yanni and team create my dream wedding was truly one of the best decisions I've made in my life!

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 our wedding October 20, 2018 at Alpine Banquets and it was stunning. Everyone was in awe how beautiful the flowers and decor was. Yanni brought my wife's vision to life. They were amazing to work with the entire process. I highly recommend. You will be amazed at the possibilities and execution!

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 in got rave reviews from guests. We didn't have to worry about a think on day of, and they did a great job of repurposing flowers from the Indian style ceremony into the western style reception. We couldn't be happier with the process and results and highly recommend!

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! https://vimeo.com/254136300

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 liked but she also didn't hesitate to express her opinions when we asked her for feedback. And then came the wedding day. I will always remember that moment of walking into Bridgeport and seeing the set-up.

It was absolutely AMAZING (the picture below is the photo I took after walking in). I am still blown away thinking about how beautiful our mundap looked and how when I walked in a wave of emotion flew over me because I was looking at absolute perfection. Our guests could not stop talking about the decor either. they all said it was as if they were in a dream and that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.

The only word I can use about describing the job YDS did decorating our wedding is perfection. If you are trying to figure out who to work with on your wedding day, don't look any further - definitely work with Yanni.

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've ever seen, and she took my vision of an Asian inspired, cherry blossom wedding and turned it into a beautiful reality. The corsages, boutonniere, and most especially my bouquet matched my wedding outfit perfectly.

There is no other word to describe my experience with YDS and Stephanie, but "perfect." I highly recommend their team for your wedding decor needs. I am still beaming because they made me so happy!

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.

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. I loved my bouquet and bridesmaids loved theirs. Very fresh flowers. I know his cost might be higher than some, but honestly, the piece of mind knowing I was going to have a beautiful decorated event was well worth it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Yanni and his team!
