Testimonials

Spiral Hand (Leah and Rafael) are as good as it gets!  They did my wedding design and all I can say is that I was blown away at what an AMAZING job they did.  Their guidance on design choices based on my likes and dislikes was spot on and they transformed a shabby little log cabin into what looked like a hip Awahnee Hotel meets the W Hotel (but better)!! I still get comments to this day on how beautiful my wedding site was with all the candles, flowers,  browns and creams and earth tones...what they don't know is that the same place with a different floral designer could have looked awful!  My bouquet, boutonnieres and flower girl flowers were also amazing and were creative and fresh and perfectly suited to my wedding theme. I cannot thank them enough and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Leah and Rafael,
What you created for our wedding was beyond anything I could have hoped for! I have seen the decorations at so many events, many of them quite nice, but what you created was the most beautiful, simple, elegant, and fun environment I have experienced. You even transformed our everyday objects into treasures for the event! Most importantly, you truly "got" what we wanted for our wedding. You were right on target for the kind of atmosphere John and I were imagining.

I am getting calls from people asking me who did the flowers and am so happy to refer them to you. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day the sacred day we had envisioned.

Dear Leah & Rafael,
My husband and I wanted to thank you and your team for the superb job you did in making our wedding a huge success. Your personal insight into exactly how and where to decorate our reception venue was perfect. This both saved me time and frustration but also money. The flowers your team put together were beautiful. As you recall, I mentioned what colors and type of flowers I was interested in then let you and your designers take it from there. I am glad I took the advise of my designer friends to "Let the artist do their work, it will be beautiful" … and it was! Thank you Rafael, for the expertise Spiral Design brought to the table. I was able to relax and enjoy my special day knowing that your team of professionals had it all under control. I still can't imagine how I could have pulled off this event without you and your team.

With The Greatest of Thanks,

Dear Leah & Rafael
You guys are out of control! We absolutely loved how all the arrangements looked. We received so many compliments about them from our guests. Those succulents were so interesting and funky. We adore the ceremony canopy. Thank you for everything, we really enjoyed working with you. Best of luck.

Sincerely,

Leah and Rafael of Spiral Hand did the floral design for our wedding and it was AMAZING! The flowers for the bouquets and boutonnieres were stunning. Everything, from the centerpieces and matching linens to the escort card display to the ceremony area, was striking, creative and original design.  They perfectly translated what we had wanted in terms of the look and feel and created something cohesive and beautiful. From the outset, the design component of wedding planning was the most intimidating for my then fiancé and I but, Leah & Rafael gave us great ideas, listened to our dislikes and concerns, and stepped in whenever we wanted to relinquish the decision-making to them. They are very easy to work with and given that we were planning from the East Coast, it was a relief that this aspect of planning was so low maintenance. We can't say enough about the talent at Spiral Hand. Leah and Rafael are true professionals and a joy to work with!

I cannot say enough good things about both Rafael and Leah of Spiral Hand. They recently did my wedding at the San Jose Museum of Art and they really helped execute our vision to perfection (and provided EXCELLENT value for your money). Not only did they have incredible knowledge of design and floral, but they were also very helpful in coming up with ideas on how to make our wedding run smother and look even more gorgeous (which is essential since both my husband and I work so much). Our guests still continue to remark how beautiful the wedding was and that it looked like a "movie wedding." I would not hesitate to recommend them to ANYONE who is considering planning an event and want designers that understand textures, lighting, floral and how important those elements are in creating any vision one has in mind. As a person who is in PR and has to plan a number of events here and in New York, I can honestly say they are the best that I have worked with ever. Thank you again Rafael and Leah, you guys are the BEST!!!!!
