    I was so happy with my decision to hire Joseph. From our first meeting, I could tell he was organized, thoughtful, and had a wealth of knowledge about wedding planning. The weeks and months leading up to the big day, he was on top of everything and made sure the schedule of events went seamlessly. On the day of, he and his assistant went above and beyond, he even had an emergency kit that had everything you could possibly need. The fact that one of my guests needed eye drops was no problem for Joseph, he thought of everything and then some!! I am grateful for his expertise and thoughtfulness. Did I even mention he does flowers too?! I was blown away by his floral designs and I have to say that the bouquets made those wedding photos loo amazing!! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Joseph and Riverwood Designs for all your wedding needs :)

He provided expert guidance whenever we asked, and we really appreciated how thorough and easy communication was. The flowers they did for our wedding were also incredible. Hiring Riverwood Designs was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. Highly recommend!
