Invited By Tricia Events & Design

I had the pleasure of working with Tricia to design my bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. I was referred to Tricia by David from Shibata Florals. My wedding was in San Diego on a Saturday, and Tricia delivered the flowers on Friday morning to a family member in the OC. Not only did the flowers last until the next day, I got exactly what I wanted from Tricia but at a fraction of the price from other florists. Make sure the flowers stay in water and in a cool place. We were lucky that the hotel I was staying in allowed us to use their large kitchen fridge. Just make sure there aren’t any fruits in the fridge; they emit a gas, which will wilt the flowers.
This is a photo of what I sent Tricia:

She gave me a quote and informed me that the bouquets in the photo had peonies in them (which would be out of season during my January wedding). I know nothing about flowers, so I really appreciated her honesty and I decided to replace the peonies with hydrangeas and I got a really good deal!
Tricia understands what it is to be a budget bride and her prices cannot be beat. I would definitely recommend Tricia’s floral designs or any event design for your weddings or special occasions. Thanks Tricia!

I seriously LOVE Tricia. Mind you, I was referred to her by not one, but TWO of my girl friends who got married and used her. She’s like this little jack of all trades who can do just about anything! Wedding coordinator, invites, money boxes, table numbers, candy stations… and she caters to your liking.
I used her for invites, signs for my boys to carry to the alter, bouquets for bridesmaids and my own, the money box, and church decorations. I have to post pictures of her work, she is affordable and quality… she is a gem!!!
Tricia, love, love, love you! Thank you for all your help… HIGHLY REFER!!!

Tricia was our florist for our wedding (wanted to hire her for our wedding planner but our venue did not allow any wedding planners) and she was awesome. She worked with our budget and really understood what I wanted with not much direction from me. She went above and beyond and I am very grateful she was involved in our wedding. I would definitely recommend Tricia for all sorts of party planning/​floral related events!

I had the lovely pleasure of working with Invited by Tricia Events & Designs this weekend as a vendor for Goose on the Rocks private bartending. As soon as I found myself lost trying to find the venue I called the contact info and Tricia was quick to pick up the phone to let me know where the reception was. In my past experience most Wedding Coordinators are too busy to even pick up the phone and help other vendors. As soon as I arrived Ashley, Tricia’s assistant was quick to show me where I was located and let me know to ask her if I needed anything. Ashley was really patient with me as I usually drive other people crazy with all of the questions I ask. As the night went on Tricia and her team ran the wedding reception very seamlessy with all of their behind the back work. They made sure the guests were having fun and everything was running smoothly. Not to mention the decoration and theme was absolutely beautiful. Two thumbs up for their team and their outstanding work!

Tricia was simply outstanding and the easiest vendor to work with. She was not only our day of coordinator, but our florist as well. She was very affordable and did a wonderful job. You can see photos of the stunning florals and invites she made for our wedding at:

IF YOU HAVEN’T HIRED YOUR WEDDING PLANNER/​FLORIST/​RENTALS/​INVITATIONS YET NO NEED TO LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE! TRICIA IS THE GIRL TO HIRE!
I got married on 3÷24÷13 at the Nixon Library and hired Tricia on as my day-​of planner, florist, paper goods person (invitations & programs), and also rented a candy bar and some other miscellaneous wedding items from her. SHE IS AMAZING! If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely hire her and definitely refer her to all of my friends getting married.
Tricia went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my wedding day special and run smooth. She exceeded all of my expectations of a wedding planner. Initially I thought she would basically just be the person who would pay my vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly. I had no idea how much planning, effort, and attention-​to-​detail that is required of wedding planners, because she was constantly on her toes and running around throughout the day.
After deciding to hire her, I had my initial consultation about two months prior to my wedding date. This was when I finally had the details of my ceremony figured out – what type of flowers and other type of décor I wanted. For me personally, I’m a mostly do-​it-​myself type of girl and am a total control freak… so it really kills me out to give the reigns to someone else and hope that everything falls into place. With Tricia I was able to totally rely on her and it took a lot of the stress off of me. Don’t get me wrong, weddings are stressful and if you are a control freak like me, thoughts will be running through your head until the day of like, «Did I do this? Did I remember to do that?» If you are hesitant in hiring a wedding planner, STOP IT. I was hesitant at first too because I thought it would be easy, but Tricia was worth every penny and didn’t cost an arm and a leg either. I probably got the best bang for my buck out of her services than any of my other vendors.
While I am mostly a DIY person, Tricia helped me execute a lot of tasks that I wouldn’t have been able to do myself. For example, I made 1000+ paper cranes (Japanese good luck tradition) and wanted to make a bead-​like curtain at the altar. She was able to provide me with some pipe and draping so I could actually do it. So basically, she helped make my own ideas better.
While I planned out most of the details for my wedding myself – so I mostly only needed day-​of planning – she has many packages to choose from for your own specific needs and desires. If you are one of those people who wants to just tell your planner your taste and style and have them hash out all of the details, she can do that too. It’s basically just how involved you want to be in your own wedding that determines how involved she will be.
One of the best things about her is that she is always on your side. If you want something stupid/​cheesy in your wedding, she will do whatever she can to do what you want and not judge you – it is your day after all. I think a lot of planners would probably try to add in their own taste into things, but Tricia will never put you down or make fun of you.
I also hired Tricia as my florist. It’s really great to have one vendor for multiple services so you don’t have to hire a bunch of different people and so you can stop looking around. I think it also helps the price too. Tricia was a great florist – everything looked absolutely gorgeous. She made my bouquet, my bridesmaids’ bouquets, the guys’ boutonnieres, and my flower girl pom-​balls. She delivered everything and set it all up as well.
Again, WORTH EVERY PENNY! This review is mostly for her day-​of stuff, but she did everything great. I got so many compliments on Tricia’s services because even our guests noticed how great she was.
