About this business

About the business

At the core of our business is our family, and each interaction with our clients reflects that. We want each client to feel taken care of in the same way they would if they were part of our EG family, and we want each event to reflect their story, their style, but most importantly we want our clients to walk away feeling that working with us allowed them to enjoy their own event without worrying about the details—that is our expertise. We truly believe no detail is too small and no event is ordinary.

Origin story

Elena’s Garden is a family affair. Growing up around flowers in my grandmother’s vast garden, my mom, aunt, and I inherited a passion for flowers almost by osmosis. When I was a young girl, my grandmother, Elena, lived on a street lined with florists' gardens, one of which she helped maintain, plant, and harvest every summer as far back as I can remember. It’s no wonder my childhood pictures and memories are sprinkled with beautiful blooms.

With over 10 years of event experience and a team ready to wow you and your guests, we believe every detail is important and every celebration is special! We look forward to curating each design and creating a beautiful, thoughtful and seamless event.

Why families choose us

Because we provide both floral design and event planning (or design on its own), clients love knowing we have a global overview of their event where the logistics and design elements will be taken care of seamlessly. Our ability to curate the design while taking logistics into consideration is highly important to our clients.

Common questions

What does your booking process look like?

We are flexible and take our cue from our clients. We know this is a sensitive time, so we will spend as much or as little time developing a design plan as needed. Our main goal is to provide easy choices and simplify the design process, so we use a visual proposal for clients to review and tweak as needed.

Are you able to provide design ideas that are out of the box and don't fit the typical funeral design?

Yes, and in fact this is our specialty. We love creating designs that truly reflect each celebration individually and incorporating elements that have meaning and set each event apart.
