As an out of town bride, it would have been impossible for me to plan a Miami wedding without an experienced wedding planner. Thankfully, I had Merlene! I was somewhat of a hands-off bride – I had a general vision, some Pinterest inspiration, and pictures of supermarket flowers (lol) which I shared with Merlene, but I was not very particular about the details. I figured that I had hired a team of professionals for my day and I trusted them to do their jobs. I had one in person meeting with Merlene after hiring her as my wedding planner where we walked through her very thorough questionnaire and talked about the budget for the florals. She really did everything she could to work with me to make my vision come true within budget including offering the use of several freebies (candleholders, tealights, etc). I was happy I gave Merlene the freedom to create because she suggested some great ideas I wouldn’t have considered such as hoop floral arrangements for the bridal party which turned out great! On my wedding day, Merlene really came through! When I walked into my venue on my wedding day, I could not believe how she had transformed a few pins and general ideas into this breathtaking scene. The flowers and all the decor were perfect. Like I said, I was not overly detailed in my instructions, so it was a pleasant surprise to me on my wedding day. So many guests commented on how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly the day ran, and I could not have done that without Merlene!

My husband and I selected a destination wedding and had no clue where to start. After countless hours of research, I selected Merlene for decorating and flowers.
In recalling everything we did together before writing this review, I typed Merlene‘s name into my email search, there were 23 search results. Of those 23 emails, 3 had over 20 responses each. Merlene was THAT dedicated to keeping everything organized and tailored to our personalities. During our first consultation, Merlene explained very clearly what she could and couldn’t assist with, and even offered services we hadn’t even thought of. Our decorations, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, arch, pipe and drape and even day-of planning were all taken care of by Merlene. When we lost our catering manager a month before the wedding and when we got reassigned a new entertainment consultant, Merlene was there to support us and keep us on track. She also coordinated very well with vendors with strong personalities. Everything happened on time and was flawless, even when the inevitable (rain in Miami) happened and the ceremony setup had to be moved inside 15 minutes before the wedding. Merlene helped make our dream wedding happen and we couldn’t thank her enough.

M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners made the vision of our special day a reality. Ms. Merlene Isaac and her team were on top of everything from the start to the finish. With their assistance, my wedding was spectacular, serene and magical. From the first phone call, the service Ms. Isaac and her team provided excellent service. They worked very efficiently and professionally. Ms. Isaac assisted us with marriage license information, hair, makeup and all other requests were arranged and fulfilled as agreed. We had the most beautiful ceremony and reception that you could imagine. M.E.I. Floral Designers and Event Planners come highly recommended by us because they have made our special day perfect and memorable.

Merlene was a joy to work with. She was available for a meeting immediately. She was extremely flexible with our budget, design, and creating a package that fit with our needs. When it came time for the centerpiece mock up, it was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Merlene used her expertise to design and create beautiful centerpieces and a chuppah for our wedding. We highly recommend using MEI for all of your floral needs.

Merlene is certainly one of a kind with a passion for love and beauty.  Her eyes sparkle when she hears the word “wedding”.  Merlene decorated and coordinated my wedding.  She designed it with an eye for detail and a gift of class.  She worked tirelessly until the job was done and we were happy and off to marital bliss. My only regret is that I am not getting married again every year because as I watched her grow into an excellent designer and business woman, her style supersedes the previous year.  I believe once she puts her hand to it, the product becomes superb!

I am so grateful for Merlene. She and her team truly “saved the day”! Our planner backed out midstream during the planning process. Merlene stepped in with professionalism, creativity and tremendous expertise to coordinate the wedding. She made sure everything flowed flawlessly! My Hubby and our families had a fantastic time and I am so happy to have met Merlene. I don’t know if our wedding would have been the same if Merlene and her team did not step in. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special!!

 

Merlene made our dream wedding a reality. The service was excellent!!! They went above and beyond to ensure our every needs where met. We both live outside of Florida and simply provided our budget and desires and they made it happen. Most weddings have small problems, but ours were stress free and perfect, from choosing the location to getting other vendors and the decorations Just Stunning!I would without a doubt recommend this company they are the BEST!!

We are so grateful to have hired these planners to coordinate the day of our wedding. They were a delight to work with and EVERYTHING on our wedding day was simply spectacular, elegant and beautiful!! Not to mention, they took complete charge at my rehearsal and made sure everyone was prepared for the day to come. They told me that I no longer needed to worry about anything, and it was true. The service they provided was truly awesome! Thanks to Merlene and Camille, everything ran so smoothly (even ahead of schedule!). Everyone raved about how seamless everything was. We appreciated their check-ins and for keeping us informed and calm. They not only ensured that all of our requests were met, but exhibited patience throughout the process which was most appreciated. We were also thankful to for their suggestions and advice before the wedding. These extra touches truly made our day like a romantic fairy-tale. They both went above and beyond. Be assured that we will be telling everyone in need of professional first class services. They will not be disappointed!
