Live Free Farm

"Working with Marianna of Live Free Farm for our wedding was an absolute dream. From the outset, we wanted to support a floral business that was local to us and our venue. Discovering that the flowers were not only designed but also *grown* locally at Live Free Farm made this an even more special experience. From our initial interactions with Marianna, it was evident that we had made the right decision. The personalized attention and care she invested in understanding our vision for the wedding were truly exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better florist for our wedding day. The feedback we received during and after our reception affirmed Marianna's talent and dedication. Many guests approached us to express admiration for the stunning floral arrangements. Marianna went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, particularly with the unique touch of amber vintage glass bottles she thrifted and sourced for all sixteen large farmhouse tables. During our in-person meetings, Marianna took the time to look at pictures of me in my dress, to help figure out what colors would be best for the bouquets and boutonnières. Additionally, she was able to creatively incorporate moodier and punchier fall hues for the guest tables, which really created the perfect balance. A testament to Marianna's flexibility and creativity, she seamlessly integrated last-minute additions—a wonderful piece for the mantle and a beautiful arrangement for the ceremony arbor, generously gifted by my parents. My mom, too, was impressed and echoed our sentiments about Marianna's exceptional work. Beyond her artistic talents, Marianna's genuine and caring nature truly set her apart. It was evident that she not only cared about delivering (and setting up) impeccable floral arrangements but also about our community and the environment. Her commitment to sustainable farming practices resonated with us, and her kindness throughout the entire process made us feel truly valued. In the end, Marianna was not just a vendor; she became an integral part of our wedding. We are grateful for her artistry, professionalism, and the personal touch she brought to our special day. It's obvious that she busts her butt on this, and really, truly cares. Without a doubt, Live Free Farm and Marianna exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a florist with a passion for excellence and sustainability.
