Janet Makrancy and her team did an absolutely amazing job and truly helped make our wedding day as the special day we hoped for. Everything turned out beautiful, from the floral arch design at our alter to the table center pieces and everything in between. We chose a somewhat un-traditional location for our day and they took a blank canvas of a space and transformed it into an amazing venue. They were extremely easy to work with right from the start and accommodated all of our wishes and requests without hesitation.
We had complete confidence in the team and they far exceeded our expectations. They day simply would not have been the same if Janet Makrancy and her team was not involved and I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event that you are planning.

Janet & Team are beyond amazing to work with. I have personally worked with her on everything from large galas to smaller intimate events. They are creative and will work to meet your budget. In addition, their decor for events always leave guests amazed by the "experience" that they create! It's ALWAYS a fun collaboration to work with Janet Makrancy's Weddings & Parties!

We worked with Janet and her team for our wedding at TPC Jasna Polana. Karissa, our coordinator, was super responsive and very communicative during the whole experience. She listened to what we envisioned and was able to compile our dream arrangements into real life. All the arrangements that were created for our wedding were, without a doubt, beautiful. The team did a phenomenal job with each and every detail and all of our guests (and the staff at the venue) were full of compliments.
On the day of the wedding we even had to add an extra table and centerpiece. Without any hesitation or question we had another at the venue. We cannot say enough about every aspect of working with Janet and her team. If you need flowers for an event of any kind stop looking and go to them!

I called Janet Makrancy's Wedding & Parties based on their good reviews. I had no idea how or if they could decorate an old battered park pavillion that my daughter chose to use for her "wedding dances in the park" (dances at a wedding reception hall were discouraged due to COVID). Karissa was wonderful from my first phone call through the whole process. I sent her a terrible picture of the pavilion and she took the reins (along many repeated phone calls from me asking for reassurance that is would look nice).
She took my budget and made a stunning white, illuminated scape that is only partially shown in this picture. At the last minute, we added their heaters as it was a chilly day at the end of February. All I can say is that I could spot the pavilion from the moment I entered the park. The front entrance draping was so soft and beautiful. The white branches with lights made an obvious entrance where there was none. It was stunning!

Janet Makrancy's Weddings & Parties did the floral decor, and arrangements for the bride, groom & bridal party for my wedding on 11/1/20. Karissa was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Janet gave me honest feedback about the flowers I wanted and everything was beautiful! I hope to work with them again in the future!
