Dana Markos Events

Dana Markos was absolutely amazing in every way! I went into planning this wedding having a vision of what I wanted. However, I had no clue about flowers, table settings, lighting and basically anything else it takes to make that vision real. Well, Dana completely understood what I was envisioning. After meeting with him for the first time, I felt completely relaxed and comfortable. He took my vision and made it a reality. He made my wedding day everything I had hoped for! He went above and beyond, helping my mom and I with every question we had, whether it was regarding flowers or not. I can not express the feeling I had when I saw the ballroom I got married in. The ceremony flowers & candles were breathtaking, it literally brought me to tears. When the ceremony was over and I walked into the transformed ballroom where the reception was taking place, it was the most beautiful room I had ever seen. He made my dream wedding come true and I will be forever grateful for Dana making my wedding the most amazing day of my life.

Working with Dana and his team for our wedding was a dream come true. He asked us to describe in a few words the feeling we were going for with our wedding. We described it as natural, family oriented and loving. Dana turned those words into a magical creation of mother nature and elegance that we would never have imagined. Not only did he capture what we could never put into words, but he made the event easy. Dana in a few words is calm, creative, ingenious and loving. He was able to put all of us at leave and we knew that if Dana was in charge of a project it would get some flawlessly. We can never thank Dana and his crew enough for making our wedding day miraculous and magical. Even down to the smallest detail, dana made the event perfect

Amazing!!! For all brides who dream of the perfect wedding day, Dana Markos is the one. Dana was referred by a friend, and from the time we met, I never looked back. We met for coffee to go over details and he even drove a long distance with me to check out the venue. He listens and truly cares about making your wedding day the day you always dreamed of. The flowers on our wedding day were incredible(more than we ever asked for) . Throughout the night, guests were commenting on how beautiful our centerpieces, bouquets, etc. were. Dana makes every bride feel special and I would recommend him to anyone. Most importantly, Dana is willing to work with you on budget, but still ensure your flowers are exactly what you want. Thank you Dana Markos and crew for your hard work. It does not go unnoticed.

Dana and his team were amazing - My wedding was absolutely beautiful. I was very specific about what I didn't want but not necessarily as great at articulating what I did want. Or so I thought...Either I did better than I thought or Dana is a mind reader-- or just VERY VERY good at decorating, because down to the smallest detail my wedding was gorgeous. It also felt very me. I don't like wedding-y things. My wedding was classy and beautiful. Even better, the room (basically a fancy conference room) was TRANSFORMED! I couldn't have asked for more. I wish I could post pictures. I'll make sure he gets some for his website because that's all you need to convince you. Plus Dana is a great all around person, answers calls quickly and totally makes you feel like you couldn't be in better hands, which is awesome when you are juggling the stresses of a wedding.I'd also like to add that Dana drove out to our venue twice before the day of the event so that he would have a sense of it. It was hours away from where he lives. What amazing dedication!! And it paid off.

I can't possibly say enough about Dana. He was able to help me put the completely unorganized and sometimes conflicting ideas I had into something cohesive, creative, and absolutely beautiful. It was more than I ever could have asked for or imagined. You could tell just how much care and attention was put into each item. It was all perfect.

My mother saw Dana Markos a year before I was engaged and was so impressed with his work and personality; she kept his business card, knowing that he would be the one she would want to use for my wedding someday. Dana was truly a pleasure to work with. He is a genuinely caring individual who not only helped us all with the flowers and decorating, but provided true heartfelt support for my mother, trying to go through the crazy, stressful, emotional process of planning a wedding without my father, who we lost 4 years ago. Thank you so much for that, Dana. The flowers at the ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful. We received many compliments. Believe me; you will NOT be disappointed working with Dana Markos. Thank you once again, Dana. You helped make our special day even more special!

I loved working with Dan Markos on my wedding. My fiance and I had a very specific ideas and wanted an old world Mediterranean look with eclectic and vintage elements, not an easy look to achieve! Dana understood our inspiration right away and executed everything flawlessly. The centerpieces were an amazing conversation starter as each one was a different collection of vintage bottles and vases. I received so many compliments on the flowers both at the reception and at the church....not to mention my extravagant bouquet! Also the linens he suggested pulled everything together and gave the room a rich luxurious feel. We were married in January so we were very concerned about a cold feeling and we wanted to ensure the room look warm, cozy and inviting. Moreover this whole process was made so easy due to Dana's professionalism and creativity. I strongly recommend Dana to any bride. I was thrilled to see the decor at our event and even now as I go through the photos I still see details I missed on the day. Thank you for the amazing job!

Working with Dana on planning our event all the way through to the details he perfected on the day of was a true delight. Dana has an incredible eye for detail and sense of occasion; he is a great listener and works above and beyond to deliver on every aspect of the day (or in our case, multi-day event). We were planning our wedding remotely and Dana and his team provided a truly amazing level of on the ground services and support for us as we tried to put together an event in Massachusetts from our home in California. Dana provided overall wedding planning services, as well as sourcing and coordinating event rentals, managing all decor brilliance (truly, the flowers and fell were spectacular) as well as day of event set up and across the board coordination (spanning the rehearsal dinner, as well as ceremony and wedding reception). Dana provided his own spectacular flower arrangements for all events. Among many gorgeous touches (dramatic centerpieces, gorgeous flower arrangements evoking a natural outdoor landscape in the church), he created the bridal bouquet I had dreamt of - paying homage to my grandmother's bridal bouquet but with a fresh, timeless brilliance. My husband and I couldn't have enjoyed the process of working with Dana and his team more, nor could we have been happier with the outcome. Dana has an incredible ability to listen to exactly what you have in mind, and to be creative in finding ways to deliver that vision, and then going to great lengths to make that a reality on the day. A few examples where Dana went above and beyond: I had my heart set on particular rare style of champagne flutes to be used for our first toast, but they were very hard to find. Dana and his team searched high and low, country-wide, and evenutally found a great option that we used. Another example: at the last minute, we decided to increase the number of outdoor heaters at our event - Dana was able to organize these, assemble them and get them going with less than 12 hours notice. Working with Dana and his team was at every moment a joy and a part of our wedding weekend and wedding planning experience that I treasure.While I will never plan another wedding (at least, not my own) - I hope I will have the occasion to work with Dana and his skilled team on another event in the near future.

I really enjoyed working with Dana and his team. When I met Dana and described to him what I envisioned for the wedding day, he got it right away - and perfectly. He did a fabulous job for both the wedding and my bridal shower. He has impeccable taste and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Dana, Thank you for the fabulous flowers and chupah that you created for my wedding! Being in the wedding industry, I had a plethora of florist to choose from. Of course, I wanted the best! I choose Dana not only because I have seen his work but also because I knew that he was the ultimate professional. You can trust in Dana he will take your likes and maybe dislikes and create something far better than you could have ever imagined! His work is superior and unique! Thanks again Dana....You blew me away!

I got engaged in mid May of this year and our wedding was September 5th. Needless to say, time was of the essence. I contacted Dana Markos on a weekday around 9 or 10 pm and left a brief email. I had been emailing and calling potential vendors and most get back within a day or two. Well, Dana emailed me right back and we set up a time to meet right then. My final email to him that night was something on the lines of "I can't believe you got right back to me so late!". His response was " I'm always working, plus, the celtics are on". I liked him right away. From there , it just got better. I knew someone who had worked with him for their wedding and she had told me " he exceeded my expectations" and I thought "blah blah blah". Nobody is that good. Fast forward 4 months, I am now married and one of those people who say "he exceeded my expectations".I am still blown away by the attention to detail and the care & attention he gave us during the planning and on the day of. I have to admit, I am a cynic and it takes a lot to really get me....... Dana went above & beyond what I even thought I wanted.We never intended to have a "wedding planner" either. Dana was just in our heads as the florist but by the 4th meeting, my hubby to be wanted him to take over the whole thing. I can tell you our wedding would not have been as incredible as it was had Dana not been involved. I could really go on & on here. To sum it up, Dana really put our head & heart at ease. Planning can be stressful and when it came down to it, he took it away and made our big day just perfect.

My husband and I (and ALL of our guests) were absolutely blown away by the design you brought to both our wedding ceremony and the reception at the residence of my husband's family following the exchange of our vows. There are so many words that describe the ambiance you created for our wedding day, but two really come to mind more than anything: romance and elegance. We knew from the moment that we met you in Ipswich that you had a pulse on what we wanted to create and you not only interpreted our vision - you made it even better than we could have imagined. We wanted to create an environment for our guests that combined all of the rustic elements of Squam Lake, New Hampshire with an elegant atmosphere....you made that happen. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Dana reallly did take our vision and transform a tennis court into a gorgeous tent where our reception was held. Our centerpieces were stunning, the trees INSIDE the tent were beautiful and the entrance to the tent was fabulous! Thank you for listening to us when we said we wanted to preserve the natural beauty that surrounded my husband's family home and only add to it in ways that would create warmth and richness. You are THE BEST and we cannot thank you enough!For anyone looking for a true artist to make your wedding day absolutely perfect - work with Dana Markos. He is the best!!!

Highly recommend Dana Markos! Not only does he go above and beyond to provide the best floral arrangements and decor but he is also so fun to work with!

Better than perfection! Dana is absolutely amazing! Where to begin - everything Dana did for my wedding was incredible, breathtaking and exceeded all of my expectations. From the candles to the huge cala lilly flower arragements, bouquets, and centerpieces to die for - all classy, edgy, modern, sexy, sheek and just absolutely beautiful - Dana's vision exceeded what I had ever dreamed about! Not only were all of my guests blow away, but so were all the other venders at the wedding. To boot, Dana is sooooooooo great to work with! He is professional, personable, and a true artist. Dana completely "got me and my vision" and took it to an entirely new level making my wedding day the most beautiful and best day of my entire life. It was not only a true pleasure, but an honor, to work with Dana. I will certainly be working with Dana again for all my events in the future! He is absolutely the best!

Dana is an artist....he is a floral visionary who can quickly sense his client's interests and carry it to a level never dreamed of -- he is absolutely the best designer I have EVER known. I can't wait for another event, so I can have the chance to work with Dana again!

Dana created the most magical atmosphere for my outdoor wedding! The flowers were gorgeous and almost everyone at our wedding commented on how beautiful the boquets and arch were. I would highly recommend Dana. He will truly make all your wedding day flower and design dreams come true!

Dana was an absolute pleasure to work with! When we met, he spent quite a bit of time with my mother and me discussing our vision, style and likes and dislikes. He was responsive and respectful during our discussions about our budget, and he worked seamlessly with our venue to make sure deliveries and setup went smoothly. The result was breathtaking - we had two long tables instead and he did a variety of arrangements and accents on each table which worked beautifully together. We had so many compliments on the design and were so happy with the results. As someone who is gaining experience in wedding planning (I am a blogger for WeddingWindow.com), I enthusiastically recommend Dana!

Don't search any further, Dana will turn your vision into reality and blow you away with his design! As soon as I met him I felt at ease and trusted that he truly understood what my vision was for my wedding day - even though I was not 100% even sure what I wanted! He took me on an amazing journey as we discussed not just the flowers, but the overall ambiance and feel of the reception room. He nailed it!!! I was blown away on my own wedding day! The best part was surprising my husband; he was shocked at how the ballroom had been transformed into a reception with so much warmth and decadence. I have had endless raves from family, friends, and people I don't even know - months after the wedding! Everyone was overwhelmed. I will receive compliments on my wedding for the rest of my life and I really have to credit Dana for creating the 'vision' I initially described to him. Oh - and my bouquet was out of this world. I've never seen anything so stunning! Dana is fantastic to work with, he listens to you and gives you want you want, and you are his priority from day one. Stop searching for a florist - hire Dana, he is a star!!

Where to begin! First and foremost, the flowers were simply stunning. Exactly what I wanted and was unable to articulate, Dana read my mind. I have received nothing but raves and compliments and guests were even taking pictures of the centerpieces and fighting over who got to take them home! In addition, the larger pieces simply made the room where we ended up having the ceremony. Dana's hard work and beautiful eye made the room glow. With the rain beating down and the candles flickering, he managed to create a haunting and romantic setting - more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. And even more, Dana's poise and kindness (and last minute flexibility!!) made working with him a true pleasure I will never forget.

From our first meeting, Dana and I were in sync! He knew exactly what I wanted, and went above and beyond. He gave amazing advice and ideas, and turned my vision into a reality! The Church was spectacular!!!! It was exactly what I wanted, it really set the tone for the entire evening. When my husband and I walked into our reception... we had no words!!!! It was magnificant. Every detail was perfect. My phone hasnt stopped ringing! All of our guests were thoroughly impressed! He is extremly professional, and amazing to work with... I will miss him! I recommend him to everyone! And definitely want to work with him again!!!!
