Diana is simply wonderful! If you are looking for a personalized experience with someone who cares about you, your family and your vision, then you can't go wrong with Black Calla Events. Diana brings her years of experience at a large flower company to her own company, which allows her to dedicate her time and attention to your big day. We were in the finishing stages of wedding planning when the world changed due to Covid-19. We postponed our Spring 2020 wedding to September of 2020 and then finally to next year. Diana was so supportive and flexible when it came to helping us work out a new date and make new plans. Prior to our plans changing Diana was right there with us at our venue going through our day, helping us plan for set up and offering her creative ideas to make the most of our space! I am excited to now start planning a fall themed wedding with her for next year.

Diana with Black Calla Events is amazing and such a talent in the florals & decor industry. My husband and I had to completely shift gears with our wedding planning due to COVID, which meant we canceled our original destination wedding and began planning an entirely different one in Washington, DC. The events/wedding coordinator at our venue had wonderful things to say about Black Calla Events and recommended I reach out to Diana because the two have worked together in the past; so I did. Diana was immediately responsive and remained so throughout our time working together. She responded to every email/text immediately and answered every question or concern I had. Because I had already planned out florals for a tropical destination wedding, I had a little difficulty reframing my thinking about what our florals/decor should look like given we were now having a true fall wedding in the city (October 17, 2020). But Diana was extremely patient and helpful as I bounced ideas around, cha... Read morenged my mind here and there, and of course, tried to stay within budget. We communicated regularly via emails, text messages, and phone calls to plan out my vision, right down to the exact greenery and florals I wanted in my bouquet. I appreciated that she was respectful of our wishes to keep costs as low as possible without losing any of the integrity. I never felt pressured to choose a certain bouquet style or go with more expensive decor--she allowed me to guide her while she used her professional eye to refine my vision. In terms of value, I think we got our full money's worth here. Florals are likely going to be one of the most expensive parts of your wedding and with that comes understanding the reality that fresh flowers are not cheap...and fresh flowers that aren't in season are also not cheap. So while we may have gone a little over budget with florals it was all more than worth it in the end! Due to COVID (and also because I love surprises), I never saw exactly what my bouquet, hair piece (yep, she designed and created a beautiful floral headpiece that complimented my bouquet so perfectly!), corsages, boutonnières, decor, etc looked like. But when they were delivered to my suite on Wedding Day...I was absolutely blown away by how everything came together and looked 100x better than I ever imagined! I've never seen a bouquet like the one Diana created for me so that made my day even more special. I shared with Diana that I loved the rustic yet elegant look and that I really only had 2 requests for what my bouquet included: a king protea flower and pampas grass. She delivered exactly what I asked for + more! Diana and I discussed delivery times about 2 weeks prior to Wedding Day and everything was delivered at exactly the time we agreed upon. I am so happy with my decision to work with Diana & Black Calla Events--she's such a sweet person and a true talent. If you're looking for a florist, you literally need not look any further. Thank you Diana & Black Calla Events for being such a special part of the most beautiful day of our lives! (photo disclaimer: we haven't received photos back from our professional photographer yet so what I've included are shots captured by our guests/wedding party. Hopefully these give a good enough idea of my hair piece and bouquet :)

From beginning to finish, Diana and her team delivered EXCELLENT customer service! Out of all of the vendors I considered, Diana stuck closest to my budget without compromising my creative vision and gave me excellent feedback on what would look best with my decor and venues. She was always very responsive via text and was punctual for all of our appointments. On top of that, my guests raved about how gorgeous my centerpieces were to the point where several of them asked to take them home, haha. Thank you Black Calla Events to helping my dream microwedding come to life during this ridiculous time in all of our lives. The service doesn't get any better than this!

Words cannot begin to describe how stunning my wedding flowers were. Black Calla Events did an extraordinary job with them. Diana is so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to get my order out and very personable. The owner really tries to understand what you're looking for and has exceeded my expectations every time. Diana made my vision come true, flower arrangements were more beautiful than I could have imagined! Family and friends couldn't get over how beautiful the flowers were for our wedding. This florist is AMAZING. I can't say enough kind words or express my gratitude better. I HIGHLY recommend Black Calla Events for all of your floral needs. You will not be disappointed.

Originally had planned an October wedding, due to circumstances we decided to shrink our attendance to 20 guests. From the introductory call, Diana was interested in learning about my vision, non-negotiables and budget. For our wedding, she delivered a stunning bridal bouquet along with gorgeous centerpieces. She made sure we felt comfortable with the arrangements and the colors. She was a true pleasure to work with and I will most likely reach out to her whenever I need stunning floral arrangements.

Diana was very responsive and informative during our meetings. She clearly has a wealth of expertise and experience and is able to answer any questions effectively. She has a great eye for decor and is mindful of the couple's requirements and budget restrictions. We were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and she was very flexible in all regards, financially and otherwise. Highly recommend her services.

Awesome service. Creative and responsive! My flowers were just what I wanted.

Diana was wonderful. We had to change our order because of COVID and she was very understanding. She kept us up to date and on top of everything. She regularly checked in and delivered everything she promised while remaining cheerful.

Diana was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, patient, informative and supportive during the process and everything was executed beautifully the day of the wedding.

I can’t say enough how amazing Diana was for us throughout the planning stages of oue wedding, and especially the day of. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted, and helped us stay within our budget without any loss of quality. The finished product was perfect. If you are looking for the best wedding florist ever, give Black Calla Events a call. Thank you for everything Diana!!!

I loved working with her. She was so responsive even after hours. She went above and beyond and the the arrangements were beautiful!

Diana is an absolutely amazing florist. This is the second wedding she has done for my family and it was such a pleasure working with her both times. The wedding reception room looked so beautiful and the flower arrangements she put together were absolutely stunning. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how gorgeous the flowers were and how perfect the room looked. Diana always made us feel comfortable and provided guidance when and where we had questions. She provided examples when we only had a vague concept for the centerpieces; she was mind reader understanding perfectly what we wanted. I told her what flowers she wanted blush roses, hydrangeas, and greenery and she made the vision come true. Diana, also worked within our floral budget, was available to answer all our questions and was there at the wedding venue to make sure everything was perfect. If you are looking for someone to inspire you or looking for someone to guide you, she is the one. She provides high quality flow... Read moreers and service at an affordable price. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.

Loved working and interacting with Diana! She is very detail oriented, and spent a lot of time personalizing designs to my specific taste and budget. She provided lovely, fresh flowers for both my ceremony in the morning and the reception in the evening, and was very flexible in making sure everything went smoothly.

Diana was AMAZING. She was SO helpful and responsive. The flowers were STUNNING.
