Best florals for the best day ever!
I used Haus 353 for my wedding back in June and everything came out even better than I could have imagined! After seeing her website and past events she had done, I could tell that their style was exactly what I was looking for. Ione was amazing to work with and was flexible with order changes as I came up with a different centerpiece idea a few months before the wedding. She was punctual and the wedding day and everything went off without a hitch. Ione even helped me add a personal touch to my bouquet by attaching my grandmothers' lockets, lace from one of their wedding dresses and my great aunt's pendant to the stems of the bouquet. Couldn't have asked for a better florist, everything was absolutely beautiful, thanks Ione!

Best florist ever!!
I found Ione through Thumbtack and decided to hire her as our wedding florist. She is the sweetest person ever and responds really quickly, which is what I really appreciated! I didn't have to wait long or try to remember to follow up, and I made so many changes to our floral order. She even emailed me several times just to check up and let me know if she found something interesting that I might want at our wedding. She is super flexible and was even able to create fruit bowls with florals for our centerpieces that turned out amazing!! She was able to work with our small budget and exceed our expectations when we walked into our reception. I couldn't have asked for a better florist for our wedding, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

We met Ione at Haus 353 through a referral. We had met lots of other wedding planners before deciding to work with Haus 353.
We chose Ione to help us plan our wedding because she made you feel like you & your needs were important and not just another client she was adding to her list. She even said she doesn't manage a lot of weddings at once because she wants to give each one her best, which she did for us!
We started our wedding planning process from 3 different cities (groom - NY bride - SF planner - LA). She made everything seem put together even while bi-coastal. She went with us to all our venue options and even took us to the flower market in LA to get a gauge of what our personal tastes/aesthetics were before making suggestions.
All her suggestions for vendors were amazing and worked out great. She was always very conscious of our wishes and budget. Her hyper-organized way of working was also great because we felt like we had everything we needed at every step of the wedding process.
On the day of the wedding, her and her team were so positive and calm that it created a great atmosphere from the start. I as a bride felt so calm and collected knowing that Ione and her team were working their magic. They checked in on us and our family constantly making sure we had everything we needed. They were so great under pressure when last minute requests were put in by family members and handled everything so graciously! She was so detail oriented that she created extra decor for our cocktail area, sweetheart table, cake table, & even went so far to concern themselves over our flower girl's headpiece (which we did not ask for or request).
The end result of Haus 353's decor, set up, coordination, etc was amazing. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how great everything was and even wanted to get her contact for their future weddings.
Overall, Ione and her team made us feel like she was invested in us personally and not just another client. We would highly recommend her and would love to work with her again on any other future events!

We cannot thank Haus 353 enough! Our wedding day ran so smoothly, the planning was so organized, and our décor was flawless -- all because of the amazing Ione and team! She listens to your requests, responds quickly to every call/text/email, works with you (and your budget) to make your dreams a reality, makes you feel valued as a customer, and goes above and beyond to deliver the most quality work and service. We hired Haus 353 for floral and event coordination, and I highly recommend you do the same. Thank you so much, Ione and Haus 353!

I found Haus 353 and Ione through thumbtack and I am so so grateful to have worked with them for my wedding in July! I had a 9 month engagement with both my fiance and I living in different states, along with our wedding being in a 3rd different state. Both of us working full time and renovating a home and preparing for our new life together -- we had a lot on our plate. We were recommended to get a coordinator to help with the planning and day of. And I am so glad we decided to do it because Ione was a saint for us! She helped so much with planning, decorations, ideas, was our florist, and helped us plan the day to a tee. I was afraid with the wedding being in a different state and with 300+ guests that we wouldn't have the time to get the wedding we had envisioned. But Ione really helped us put it together. She's incredibly sweet, easy to talk to, and very professional. We didn't have to worry on the day of because Ione and the team had it covered. I couldn't recommend her enough!
