    It’s hard to do anything but reiterate all of the positive things that have already been said below about Uche and her team – Uche is incredibly creative, a consummate professional, and moreover just an all-around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn’t starting from much – just knew I wanted a “secret garden” type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can’t describe it. I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn’t have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of. We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I’ve ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous – as were my bridesmaids’, and even the boutonnieres were amazing. I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?)

    Exactly what we hoped for! Thank you!
    I loved working with Uche! My mom came with my to my first consultation with her, and we both instantly fell in love with her enthusiasm and positivity. She instantly understood the concept and the look I was going for with my wedding flowers, and wow, she delivered on the wedding day! We received many compliments on the arrangements and bouquets, and I felt like it truly completed my husband’s and my wedding day. They were elegant yet natural, exactly what I hoped! Thank you for everything, Uche!!

    Choosing Designs By Oochay was by far one of the only decisions I made regarding my wedding that I didn’t look back and say hmmm maybe I should have gone with another vendor. She was professional from start to finish, prompt, courteous, and was able to make my vision come true for every detail by me simply giving her simple instruction. If you are looking for a professional with impeccable work ethic and work product, this is who you should trust. Best Decision and Investment Ever!!!!
