    "You did a great job at the first party, I had to have you show off your stuff again! You played a BIG role at our mothers 60th Surprise Birthday Party. From day one, your input and ideas were right on the money with our vision! You were very accommodating and even the day of the party, you were there to make sure everything was perfect! Each centerpiece was taken home and to this day raved about. They are displayed at family members homes even without the fresh flowers, which I may say were so fresh looking and bloomed beautifully. You hand selected the perfect ones! Milena, this is not the last time I will use your remarkable services. Working with you was a blast! Keep it going!"
