Very Creative/Wonderful to work withi I don't remember how I first heard about A Gala Affair, however, when I met with Deborah Dempsey (owner) I knew she was the right person for my wedding. My wedding was in October in an empty barn (The Barns at Wesleyan Hills). I needed and wanted a LOT of floral (trees, centerpieces, personal flowers etc). Deborah totally got my vision and was so accessible. A few weeks before my wedding she invited me to her studio in Stonington to show my mock ups. It was so nice working with her and experimenting with the arrangements. She also accompanied me on a walk-through of my venue and negotiated details with the catering manager. The final product was so much more than I asked for--it was stunning. Check out some pics from my photographer: www.tonyspinelliphotography.com and search for Sarah and Alex's wedding. She also provided planning and print-outs of programs, and even linens. She searches for the best possible price without sacrificing quality/creativity/beauty. I still have my wedding bouquet as well as some centerpieces.-which were stunning and have dried beautifully. Some people don't prioritize floral in their wedding budget, however, whatever your budget, Deborah at A Gala Affair will do a beautiful job and is amazing to work with...she even travelled (my wedding was in Cheshire/Middletown).

outstanding, exquisite decor/sedign-reliable and very competitive pricing I gladly give my highest recommendation to A Gala Affair. I had a fall wedding but still wanted a colorful wedding. They really pulled all of the deep, brilliant, vibrant, earthy colors of fall into the decor of my wedding. Not just with the flowers but with the creative decor used throughout my wedding. I wanted someone not just for floral design but for the design and decorating of my whole event. They truly paid fine detail to everything, which made my day (other than having to get myself to my wedding on time!) completely stress free. As a bride and groom financially planning a wedding we were sure to price around and A Gala Affair was very competitive in pricing.
