It’s been 2 weeks “post ball” and still I am receiving letters and cards in the mail, texts, facebook and email. So many have said it was the best ball in 23, 12, 17, 10 years! Everyone loved it etc. etc. The success has made such a great experience and the buzz is overwhelming. In my 12 years at the club I have never heard such elation of an event. Thank you for making it easy. I had fun putting it together and cant wait til next year…OUTSTANDING!
— Best, Linda
David & Staff,
Thank you for sharing your talents to make our baby shower extra special! Everyone raved at the decorations as expected. We look forward to sharing more exiting events with you in the future.
— Love, Lindsey & Tim
Hi Nicole!
I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work. I was blown away over and over again on saturday. The Detroit Athletic Club is a beautiful venue, but you transformed it into our wedding. The ceremony space was so romantic and the trees looked beautiful! The facebook pictures are amazing! All of my family and friends were blown away. The main dining room was so beautiful and the tables were awesome! The candles that you guys painted turned out so beautifully. All of the special touches blended in to reflect Mark and I exactly. Also the stationary was incredible!!! The menu cards and the placecard/schedule cards were so beautiful! I loved the paper!
I was completely blown away by the lounge space. It was incredible. The crystal room divider reflected all of the light and I honestly was speechless when I saw it, which we all know happens very rarely! You are your staff created a posh beautiful event that people felt comfortable in, and were able to transition from romantic to classic to fun as they came from room to room.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and vision. You were so easy to work with and really brought all of our ideas to life. You are very talented, and certainly made my event. Period.
Thank you over and over again Nicole!
— Love, Sarah & Mark
Nicole,
Thank you to you and all the folks and crew from Emerald City Designs for making our wedding so beautiful! The decor and flowers were just what I had fantasized about and we’ll never forget it. Thanks again!

Dear Nicole,
It was a pleasure working with you. You made our day absolutely unforgettable and we enjoyed all aspects of the planning process. You and your team understood our vision and ensured that every detail was perfect. Your exquisite work took our breath away and we could not be happier with the results. We are so grateful for your kindness, support and professionalism. Thank you very much for making this a time we will always cherish.
— Sincerely, Scott and Jackie
Nicole,
We have officially stepped back into reality, albeit much to our dismay. Although we had a wonderful honeymoon, we were ready to get back and connect with people so we could talk about the day. I, of course, am still on a high from all the festivities, but am starting to feel that “i can’t believe it is all over” feeling… amazing how fast it all goes.
I am only slightly embarrassed to admit that I have been dreaming and planning my wedding for the last 28 years. Although my “visions” have evolved slightly over this time, I can honestly say the room was BEYOND everything I could have dreamed…. it took my breath away. It was seriously PERFECT (or “magical” as more than one guest has referred to it as). THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
THANK YOU for making all my “visions” a reality. THANK YOU for understanding what I really wanted, even if I didn’t always realize it. Basically, THANK YOU for helping make the day perfect.
Seriously, I cannot even begin to express how amazing I thought everything turned out and how wonderful you were to work with. I am sure you will be getting another email from me, once I absorb all the details, but I wanted to shoot you a quick email and let you know how much I appreciate everything you did and how amazing I thought it all was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was truly PERFECT!
— Nicole
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for such an AMAZING job. My wedding was absolutely gorgeous. My vision came to life, and when I saw it (the reception hall) I almost fell to my knees. A little theatrical, I know, but I’m serious. The flowers, the tealights on the gold branches, all the gorgeous candles, the rasberry lighting, the way the gold chairs shined off the plum silk tablecloths, the awesome scroll for guest names, the flowers around the cake, all of it. When I got the bouquets at the house, we all gasped at how pretty and soft and gorgeous the bouquets were. Oh girls, it was perfect. And Sarah did an amazing, amAZING job on my tri-fold. I LOVED the way it turned out. And the colors completely matched the color palettes of the reception. I added a few of my own small details which went perfectly with everything you all did. I am so happy with everything you did and will gladly refer you to my friends and colleagues looking for perfection. I will share with you some pictures.
I miss my party planning days, but glad to get on with the next pat of our life.
— All my best - Taleen

Dear Nicole, David and ECD Staff,
We thank each and every one of you for making our dream wedding come true! From the moment we stepped foot in your offices we were treated like A-List Celebrities. My bridal shower was everything I could ask for, the Ras Garba/Sangeet was filled with excitement. The Hindu Ceremony was elegant and our Reception was most definitely a night to remember! Emerald City Designs is everything we can ask for a s a Florist and Event Planner. David and Nicole both made sure we were happy with the final result and they attended to our every personal request. Thanks Once Again… and just remember “There’s no city like Emerald City.”
P.S. we will definitely be back for future events!

Just wanted you to know how pleased we all are with your decor for all of our events for Monica and Sanjay Bhagwans Wedding. All of our guests had a WOW factor! Once again thank you and I would definitely recommend Emerald City Designs to our friends.
— Mrs. Ramilla Bhagwan
Hi David, I had no chance after the wedding to express how I felt and still feel about your display. During the wedding, I had no chance to take it all in, I just remember that I loved my chairs… but as a wedding trailer (http://epicmotion.com/wedding-videos/anqunette-richards-wedding-trailer/) and some pictures emerged, and I was able to truly see what you created, I have to say that I am simply blown away by your beautiful, romantic but very classy and tasteful creation.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing a perfect flower and table display. I loved it all, but on top of that, all our guests loved everything you did and commented on it. Be assured that I will recommend you whenever I have a chance to do so. I look forward to solicit your service in about 10 years or so, when my sons are getting ready to get married! Best wishes.
— Richard Sarfoh
David, Nicole and Team,
Words cannot begin to describe how truly blessed we are for the opportunity to work with you! The flowers were absolutely AMAZING, GORGEOUS… BEAUTIFUL! You covered every detail and exceeded our expectations! Everything was perfect! All of our guest are still talking about the flowers! Thanks again for everything!
— Jennifer and Dave Latcha
Dear Emerald City Designs,
I found a picture in a magazine as I was planning my wedding and fell in love with the design. I immediately knew that was going to be my wedding. You can tell a lot about a business and how it is run when you show up unannounced – so that is exactly what I did. I was greeted at the door by the owner, David McKnight, I recognized him from the article in the magazine. He invited me in to look around the showroom. While he didn’t have any available sales agents at the time, he still treated me like I was already a client. I had been turned away by so many other places for not having an appointment. Not Emerald City Designs. I scheduled a date to return.
The first thing I did was hand them a budget I needed to work within. We discussed my wishes and what I was, and wasn’t willing to give up. I booked immediately. Emerald City Designs handled everything for me – my programs, invitations, linens, chairs, flowers and decorations. I had regrets for the wedding personally call to tell me they couldn’t attend, but wanted to know who designed my invitations because they were exquisite.
When I arrived the day of the wedding I had no doubt that Emerald City Designs had done everything to perfection, but I had no idea how beautiful perfection truly would look. When I was greeted by their event staff, I instantly started to cry. The level of professionalism and the pride they take in making your event a “dream come true” is impeccable.
I would not change one single thing about my day, and with that being said, my event would not have been so perfect had I not hired Emerald City Designs.
David, I want to personally thank you and your entire staff for making my “dream come true”.
— Stephanie Kessering
Hi Nicole,

— Karen Shinney
Hi Cheryl!

Dear Nicole,
Nolan and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of out hearts for all you and your staff did to make our February 19th wedding absolutely beautiful!!!

We can never thank you enough for helping to make our day a complete success!
— Shea and Nolan
Dear David, Nicole and Event Staff,
To all of you- KUDOS! What a beautiful job you did at The Fox Theatre. It was truly a pleasure not only to see each of you but to enjoy your creativity- the table designs were wonderful and you continue to suprise me with your imagination. Who would think of using garden twine in the midst of such oppulence!!! I happen to love twine.. for some odd reason! tactile… that is always such a sense you seem to include for a special sensation. Many thanks! Great efforts were much appreciated!!!
— Carolyn Hefner
Nicole,
You and the entire Emerald City staff are absolutely amazing. Every flower, place card, and table number was perfect. Our vision came true and I’m so appreciative.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t say it enough. Your design efforts and execution were beautiful for my daughter’s wedding. You listened to her heart and met her dream (and them some). The Pool Room was enchanting and more beautiful than I had imagined. The ceremony flowers were gorgeous as well and I have been enjoying them all week. Your staff was a pleasure to work with, as well. Nicole was extremely helpful and all the event staff that evening was courteous, professional and unobtrusive. Thank you all for a job very well done!
— Sandy
Dear David, “I wanted to write you to tell you how happy I was with Emerald City Designs. From ordering the invitations to discussing bouquets and arrangements to designing my cake, I could not have asked for better service. Nicole was wonderfully patient in helping me choose my invitations and for putting up with me changing my mind a zillion times. Everyone was so professional and helpful and I loved that your staff all knew me by first name…”
— Catherine Soave Pantelas
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your guidance, creativity and vision. Every detail created an enchanting atmosphere for everyone.

The entire Papas family would like to thank you for making our daughter Maria and her husband Jimmy’s wedding a fairy tale event. Maria was the princess in the garden, and Jimmy her prince.

— Meena and Vijay Narula
Dear David and Staff, Ely and I wanted to thank you for making our wedding day even more memorable..once we walked into the atrium of St. John’s my husband and I were both speechless. The tabletop arrangements with the beautifully done candelabras had such an awesome effect with the tall glass pyramid ceilings it literally took our breath away. The whole look together was more than I imagined-it far exceeded our requirements. My family and I had a very nice experience working with you and everyone else at Emerald City. We hope to work with you on many more occasions.

Thank you so much…
