"Kristi designed the floral centerpieces for my wedding reception and I could not be more happy. She was so wonderful and kind to work with as well. She took the inspiration pictures that I sent her and made centerpieces that were even better! I did a combo of half bud vases, half regular centerpieces and I love how it turned out. She was very accommodating to my needs, especially when I had to add on one more centerpiece last minute when I realized I needed another table to fit guests. She is very professional and extremely talented. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist!"

"Kristi is the best. The flowers for our daughters wedding were absolutely beautiful. She did exactly what we wanted. We got Kristi name through Crystal Mountain. I can’t thank her enough, at the last minute when my daughters cake arrived I called her to see if she could help us (she was on the premises to do our flower and another wedding). Our cake showed up from Top Tier Cakery of Traverse City via Taxi. The cake was plan with out flowers as requested . Ugh looked terrible and NOT Finished at all. I called Kristi she said yes I will see what I can do, she pulled it off, she found enough extra flowers to complete my daughters cake. She made a horrible looking cake look beautiful. She went way above and beyond and fixed this for me, my daughter and now son in law.. I have included pictures of her work. Not only is she talented but certainly caring and I would refer her to anyone. Thank you Kristi for your beautiful work and for being so helpful to us. I will refer your company to my co workers up that way and friends that live up there ."

"Kristi was absolutely one of the best parts of our day!! We hired her as our wedding planner and our florist. She gave us so many wonderful recommendations for vendors, guided our planning including budget, checked in with us multiple times throughout the process, and was the most perfect day of coordinator. She made sure our day went absolutely perfect! It was smooth sailing and we had nothing to worry about! As our florist, she was INCREDIBLE. I had very unique Disney themed centerpieces that we had made and she designed each table's flowers to suit the centerpieces. Her flowers were stunning. We had corals, pinks, and yellows and I loved them so much. In addition, we were a 2020 Covid couple that had to push off our wedding day and she was very flexible with us and helpful in meeting the various possible restrictions we could have had. I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day and it was all because of Kristi. I am so grateful for her and highly recommend her to any couple."

"Kristi was the Florist and Day of Coordinator for my Northern Michigan wedding. She did an extraordinary job with flowers and decorations, bringing my dream wedding to life. She even gave me one of the best surprises of the day by using my favorite flower (peonies) in the bouquets and table arrangements, even though they were out of season! The venue looked absolutely stunning and she handled every detail/issue without involving me so that I could be at ease and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Simply Exquisite by the Bay!"

"Kristi Mills is the most amazing florist and wedding coordinator!! We were truly blown away by her clear and timely communication, organization, design creativity and personable customer service. The pricing is amazing for the quality of work that she does, and much better than anyone else in the area. I couldn’t imagine what our wedding day would have been like without her and her team there to oversee every little detail making it truly the best day ever! She knows all the ins and outs of the area and the wedding business, making the planning process stress free and our wedding day exactly what we had envisioned and more. We still have guest raving that our wedding was the most beautiful one they’ve ever been to, specifically referencing credit to our incredible wedding coordinator and florist, Kristi! I can’t recommend Simply Exquisite by the Bay enough, whatever your style or wedding needs are- she excels at perfecting it all!"
