Studio DBI

I wish I could give Liza more than five stars! Our wedding day at Murietta's Well was perfect with Liza there for us! Though I am a type A perfectionist, Liza suggested details I had not even considered. She is so kind, professional, energetic and classy! I had many sleepless nights trying to plan, work full time, and keep with other life commitments. When I had my first interaction with Liza, knowing she would be there for us, I finally had a peaceful night of sleep. Liza exudes warmth through her emails too. First impressions are so important! From the beginning, that first email, and Skyping, Liza presented as so lovely inside and out! This was important to me. There are many planners out there who are all about business and will get things done for fewer dollars, the problem is, there is something missing:  warmth.  Liza brings warmth, calmness and you can count on her to get things done in a timely manner.  I would highly recommend Liza for any event. She is worth her weight in platinum! More...

Abosutley, positively, the best vendor I have ever worked with. For all you brides out there, I cannot recommend anyone better than Liza. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Liza was during the entire planning and execution of the floral design for our wedding. I was impressed by Liza from our first conversation over the phone. She was wonderful and warm, great listener and knew exactly what I was envisioning. I would mention my cholor scheme and some of my ideas, and she knew what I meant. She did not try to take over my ideas, she enhanced them. Following our conversation, she emailed me the proposal with the pictures of what she envisioned given my guidance, and she was spot on. Liza knows design and knows flowers. If you are looking for that bridal magazine look, she will deliver. If you are looking for that urban, outside of the box thinking, she will deliver. No matter your style, she knows exactly how to execute that design. Liza will also work well with your budget and will help maximize your vision while sticking to your budget. I loved working with Liza not only on the professional level, but on a personal one. She is a lovely, kind, classy, stylish, hip and extremely intellegen woman. She has accomplished so much at such an incredible young age, she is truly an inspiration.
I highly recommend Liza and her Studio DBI team. You will be amazed at the beauty and sophistication she will bring to your event. The flowers will stand out and make every picture worth a thousand words. If you want your dream wedding, Liza will be the one to make it happen. She is the fairy godmother of flowers.
Thank you Liza, from the bottom of our hearts, for adding so much beauty to our special day! More...

I cannot say enough about Liza and Studio DBI. Seriously - she is the BEST. I have never met a more calm, collected, and detail oriented planner in my life. She had everything organized down to the smallest detail, without ever breaking a sweat. Any time I had a question or concern, Liza had already had it solved, taken care of, with a solution better than I could've ever figured out on my own.

She's also one of the kindest people. And it doesn't stop with Wedding Planning. Her floral talents are to DIE for. Our mantle floral arrangements still have people talking! She not only made my vision come to life -- she made it like a true dream - above and beyond anything I could've imagined.

I will absolutely, hands down, 100% recommend Liza and Studio DBI to any and everyone -- her professionalism, her grace in even challenging situations, and her genius and creativity made our wedding day absolutely perfect. More...

I don't have enough good things to say about Liza and Studio DBI. From our first meeting to talk vision to the end of our wedding night, Liza went above and beyond to make our wedding feel seamless.

I was always so impressed by her quick responses to the dozens of emails I sent, generally within hours. On day of, I literally didn't have to worry about a thing and didn't know if anything 'wrong' happened. The flowers were even better than I would've imagined.

Studio DBI and Liza are the best. If you can book her for wedding decor/flowers and coordination, do not pass go! Liza is so easy to work with, she has such a calming personality which is key for any kind of event coordinator! Let me start with the coordination. I thought that I did not need a coordinator bc I do galas and other events professionally, but I started to cave when I realized that I could not be doing everything and getting married at the same time. Best decision I made during the planning process was to hire Liza. She took care of so many little details. She made a thorough wedding day of timeline down to the minute and coordinated all of my vendors. She even made sure I paid everybody, all I had to do was write the checks and put them in an envelope and she took it from there.Something above and beyond Liza did was take down all of the decorations, gather the extra booze (we brought our own, so we had to take the leftovers home) and she brought it all to my house for me all the while I was enjoying my wedding night. One of my guests was having uber troubles at the end of the night and she even offered to drive them to their hotel. The flowers were unbelievable, her attention to detail was exquisite and she made my vision a total reality. When I looked at my reception space, it looked like a "wonderland" as my mom referred to it.Liza is a class act. I could not have done my wedding without her! Thank you Liza!!! More...

We used Liza's floral and wedding coordinating services for our recent wedding and I have to say that I was thrilled with both. The flowers at our ceremony and reception looked beautiful and Liza even threw in little touches like flowers in the bathrooms that were not included in our contract but which I really appreciated. In picking out the floral design Liza's approach was very practical- she was prepared for our first meeting with a slew of photos on her ipad for us to review which made it really easy to hone in on what I liked and didn't like. Other florists asked us to describe "our vision" for the event which as someone who did not really have one I found difficult. Liza was a really good listener and she was able to quickly interpret from my vague description exactly the look we were going for and executed it just as we discussed without a lot of further back and forth after our first meeting. She also was able to deliver a beautiful, simple and modern Chuppah which went perfectly with the look of the wedding. As far as wedding coordinating services Liza was very organized, responsive, and accessible. On the wedding day itself everything was executed exactly how we had discussed and I saw her working feverishly throughout but she never once approached me with any issues other than gently making suggestions about moving on to the next stage of the timeline so I didn't have to worry about a thing all night. At the end of the night all of our stuff was packed up and delivered back to our hotel room before we even got there and thoughtfully my bouquet and leftover cake were stored in the hotel refrigerator. I felt as if every detail had been thought through and that Liza really went the extra mile to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. More...

There is only one word we could say to describe Liza Boukard's design skills for our Summer 2014 wedding....and that word would be "AWESOME. " As someone who does NOT understand everything that goes into the floral and overall design aspects of a wedding...I can honestly say that Liza took the time to take in my wife and my inputs and incorporate them into a product that AMAZED our wedding guests! Honestly, when you are planning a wedding, its so hard to see the forest among the trees, so it really comes down to TRUST. Trust that the professional you are working with understands your desires and truly incorporates them into the overall final product. Liza did with flair and we can say that our guests were amazed and still brag about our wedding 6 months later. Hire her and know with CONFIDENCE that you are in very good hands! More...

Hiring Studio DBI for month-of coordination was one the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. We called Liza three months out, somewhat stressed about lack of space in the restaurant where we were having both the ceremony and reception. We had interviewed other coordinators who were skeptical that we would be able to do what we wanted to do there. Not Liza--she was excited about everything we described and immediately got to work coordinating with the restaurant. Within days she had developed a floor plan and a schedule that put our minds completely at ease. Here’s everything else Liza and team did to make our wedding extra-special: Confirmed all vendors--if there were any issues, we never heard of them; provided a structure for a ceremony backdrop after our failed DIY attempt; directed a rehearsal at our apartment on the night of Liza’s own anniversary; prepared a bridal bouquet that perfectly reflected the bride’s style and the feel of the wedding; made sure we paid all vendors and recommended tip amounts; oversaw all set-up and takedown at the restaurant; returned all personal equipment and decorations to our apartment and even walked our dog so we could stay out later. We are so grateful to Liza and team! More...

Liza Bourkard is a gem! She worked with me in the month prior to my daughter's October 19, 2014 wedding. She was energetic and organized in tying up loose ends. She attended a pre-wedding meeting at the venue, worked up timelines and lists, and provided the florals and tape top designs for us. It was at the wedding, however, that she really shone! She and her assistant were on site early and worked throughout the day and evening to smoothly handle the "run of show" as well as the emergencies that arose (an extensive pipe/drape installation that collapsed because it was not properly weighted by the rental company; as well as appalling dinner service by the caterer). After the event, Liza followed up with the providers whose performance caused us issue, wrote emails to back up our complaints; and ensured that our satisfaction with our event was at the forefront of her efforts. She is truly a gifted professional. More...

Liza and the rest of the Studio DBI team provided exceptional service for our wedding on Oct. 4! We used her for month-of services, which was the best decision we made for our DC wedding of about 200 people (mostly out of towners).

For any brides who feel that they don't want a wedding planner the whole engagement (for budgetary reasons or because you want to plan it yourself and think it's fun -- I was both), I cannot recommend Liza enough for month-of planning. The month-of is when all the fun starts and you want to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy all of your hard work while she handles all the details, which she did. When you are that close to the wedding, you want to be able to spend time with your family, friends and fiance; you DO NOT want to be on the phone to a million vendors, sending out timelines, going over logistics and worrying about details -- trust me. I did not have to speak to a single vendor to confirm anything or figure out timing or details. She put together a DETAILED and well-thought out timeline and was able to execute a flawless weekend for us. Logistics and the nitty-gritty details were NOT my strong suit, and she took care of it all perfectly.

Finally, Liza and her assistants are all so laid back and enjoyable to be around. She never inserted her opinion without me asking, but when I did ask her advice on something, she had such good ideas that we never would have thought of ourselves. You can tell she is able to adapt to any and every style of wedding and be fully on board with it without any judgement or unwarranted opinions. We really appreciated that about her.

All in all, Liza and the Studio DBI team made for a fun, relaxing and PERFECTLY executed wedding weekend for us that was flawless from start to finish. My family, husband and I could not recommend her highly enough! More...

DBI is expensive, but they have everything you could possibly need - from the candy bar supplies, to a wealth of vases, gorgeous fabrics, flower chandeliers, access to stunning flowers and more. Liza was fantastic. She found creative ways to make my vision work within my budget. She was incredibly flexible in terms of redesigning arrangements, changing ideas, squeezing in calls between my work meetings, etc. The flowers themselves were stunning. I got so many compliments on the bridal party's bouquets and the table arrangements. She worked with my caterer and wedding planner to design the wedding cake and provide the flowers. She even surprised us with a stunningly gorgeous arrangement for the bride and groom dining chairs. Our theme was modern-rustic, and we had an outdoor wedding. She created lush, soft, flowing bouquets and arrangements. Even though it was 97 degrees the day of our wedding, everything held up beautifully. The pictures of those flowers - even at the end of the night are still just so beautiful! Liza came prepared to keep the flowers chilled in the heat. Super thoughtful and detail oriented.

Liza and the team at DBI were awesome! She came up with really creative suggestions to fit what we wanted -- which was challenging because we had no color, no theme and just a couple of wildly varying pinterest pictures to go by! I LOVED the bouquets, the boutineers, the garland for the ceremony and all the different table arrangements. We had the ceremony and the reception in the same space, and the flowers really helped transform so it felt totally different. She had really good suggestions for varying the arrangements by tables to keep the tables uncluttered and save us a little money. Liza also gave us great advice on linens and lighting to help really make the room. Highly recommend! More...

To be perfectly honest, I thought it was unneeded and a waste of time, attention and money .  Nothing could have been further from the actual facts.We contracted with Liza based upon a couple of phone calls and my daughter's meeting with her more than a year ago.  At the time, I thought we had everything worked out and were just working on finalizing a few details.  Liza's role was to begin 6 weeks from the event and the goal was to turn over the management of the vendors and the day of timeline to Lisa.  This plan wasn't quite fully baked. What she did over the year, with just a few suggestions and phone calls:*    Suggested a much better location for the event than the one we were considering *    Identified a wonderful photographer when we were having a great deal of difficulty securing one we liked*    Pointing us to a DJ who was as perfect as one could have been, playing MC when needed and folding into the background for much of the night while keeping the energy high and the music perfectly setting the tone*    Helping us find a last minute videographer who handled himself with great care and kindnessThe key, however, were the actions of Liza and her assistant Stephanie near and on the day of the event.  They developed a carefully crafted timeline with everything timed and practiced. The rehearsal dinner really included a rehearsal of the ceremony.  We ran it through enough to work through the kinks and the awkwardness, changing an order here and a word there.  The actual ceremony would follow with ease and comfort. Everything was planned in advanced, the timeline well established and the hotel all set.  Nonetheless, things happen. The key is that, at all time, even when I was aware of what was happening (and to be honest, I usually found out after things were fixed), I was always greeted with "we've already taken care of it" or "we'll take care of it".  Most importantly, everything really was taken care of.Whether it was the bridesmaid being stuck in the elevator, or the Chuppah not fitting into the room or my daughter needing to eat something right after the ceremony (she'd not eaten all day and was starving!), Liza or Stephanie just took care of things.  There are undoubtedly other things that went sideways that I'll never even knew because they were just handled (I actually do know about a few of them but that is not the point - I did not need to step in to do anything - they were just handled).  She worked with the DJ to keep things on schedule without forcing anything. She kept all the cats where they needed to be when they needed to be there.  She answered all my questions with patience and good cheer.  And she was constantly there to offer assurance, either to me or my daughter. Her advice and consultation was enormously helpful. It all ways, Liza and Stephanie made it possible for me to enjoy the day in ways that would NEVER have been possible without their assistance.  I commend them for their actions and how they handled themselves and their roles, never taking offense when I asked the same question for the 6th time.  They were a pleasure to work with and I would do it again in a second.

I am so thrilled that I got to work with Liza and will sing her praises over and over to anyone in search of an extremely talented event designer. Liza is not just your average florist. She looks at your event as a whole and is excellent at understanding your vision. However, beyond my own vision, what impressed me the most about Liza from the start, was that she was able to enhance my vision and suggest small ways to make ideas pop. I decided to work with Liza for the simple reason that I immediately trusted her to come up with unique, but stunning solutions when faced with a challenge, rather than look to me for direction. She just made things easy and I instantly trusted her judgment.

Not to mention, Liza's flowers were simply incredible. She 110% nailed the look I was going for and I continue to receive so many compliments as guests reflect on the event. There isn't a single thing I would have changed.

I also hired Liza for overall event design and I was thrilled with how effortlessly she made all the pieces come together -- paper products, linens, chair rentals, draping, etc. all came through her and she helped streamline the process and eliminate the number of vendors that I had to manage. She even went so far as to set-up a final walk-through meeting with our team at the hotel in the weeks leading up to the wedding so that I felt comfortable with all the moving pieces.

Finally, Liza provides excellent value for her services. Her flower prices were extremely reasonable as compared to her peers and she offered excellent transparency in terms of the costs of all the services she outsourced. Liza truly seems equipped to be able to make a major impact to your event no matter your budget.

I would only recommend DBI for events that you want people to rave about, be impressed by, or stand in amazement and awe. And only then. More...

Liza was my saving grace during the stress of wedding planning. She was extremely responsive and professional and had great ideas on how to approach various wedding elements. The flowers she and her team provided were gorgeous. Most importantly to us, she went out of her way to take the lead and help us solve issues that came up. Having Liza coordinate our wedding was one of our best decisions, and I highly recommend her! More...

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Liza Bourkard and Studio DBI for my wedding. When I first met with Liza, I had a vague idea of the overall look that I was trying to create for my wedding, but was at a loss as to how to execute it. Liza walked me through a series of images, which allowed me to develop a specific look for my wedding. I met with two other vendors after meeting with Liza and found myself comparing them to the way she approached her floral design. I ultimately hired Liza and Studio DBI to do the flowers for my wedding and I was thrilled with the results. Liza is extremely responsive and professional, and I highly recommend Liza and Studio DBI.

Liza and her team where so amazing. Throughout the planning process Liza was super responsive and accommodating. She even answered the phone off hours when I was in the store with some random thought I wanted to share! I was so shocked that she was willing to have the conversation. During the site visit, she had so many wonderful ideas while staying within our budget. We had already received the quote and proposed flowers, but being on the site it was like her creativity was sparked. By making the slight adjustments based on the actual location, I really believe our wedding was more beautiful then we could have imagined.

On the day of the wedding, her team arrived on time and quickly proceeded to set-up the event. They were quiet and respectful and worked well with the catering company. Had they not come in to give us our bouquets, I would have never know they were there! I loved working with Studio DBI and would do it again tomorrow without a second thought!!! More...

DBI was easy to work with - and truly understood my 'vistion' for our wedding. I would recommend them for any event requiring flowers, site decorating, etc. I was super satisfied. The staff was most helpful, kind and catered to me as the bride while they were on site decorating the day of the wedding! SUPERB! More...
