Cullen Creations, Stamford NY

Where do I start? Heather was phenomenal to work with. She knows what she's talking about with EVERYTHING!

We first hired her to do some florals, but ended up getting some other decor like floating floral vases, table runners, etc. She worked with our budget and had so much insight as to what to focus on, which areas to spend on, where we could cut back, etc.

She listened! It's so hard to truly felt listened to sometimes, but she did it so well. She understood our vision including colors, types of flowers and overall feel for everything.

We had an interesting situation occur with our wedding, where our original planner ended up not able to attend the wedding day. Heather stepped in to be our on-site coordinator and honestly, we couldn't have asked for anyone better. She had everything organized A to Z. She helped run the rehearsal, she decorated and set everything up that we dropped off and brought our vision to life! She decorated our cakes! The day of she helped everyone feel calm, directed vendors, spoke to vendors when problems occurred, used her judgement and discernment with the weather; she is a true professional.

Her and her husband went above and beyond what we could have asked for with everything! My mom also gives them credit for "saving the day", as we had an elder guest that was unaccounted for. Heather's husband drove the country roads and found her driving lost and aimlessly and was able to get her to the venue which was a relief for everyone!

If I did everything over, I'd hire Cullen Creations on day one and hire them to handle everything. You truly can trust them with all your needs and be assured that they help will make your day as perfect as it should be!

First things first, Heather and Jae made the vision I had for my masquerade ball wedding come to life and were absolutely amazing to work with. I enjoyed working with Heather so much and I was so happy she involved me in the process since I’m a creative person myself. Heather knows how to balance your budget with what you REALLY want and is completely honest about what she thinks works and doesn’t work. She has the experience to tell you what she has seen in the past and some tricks and tips for circumventing problems couples have had in the past. Heather is available for all the florals, decor and drapery of your dreams. Heather was extremely organized, updating things in Excel as we went, communicated often via email and phone with changes, and kept us up to date with financials. Heather and Jae accommodated all of our requests and knew exactly how to organize and coordinate with the venue and other vendors. I highly recommend Cullen Creations to any couple looking for someone to plan, decorate, arrange florals, and all of the above! Thank you for helping make our day perfect! -Joe and Chona

Working with Cullen Creations was fantastic!   Heather worked with us over several months to help create the perfect floral theme for our fall wedding.   She was just as excited as we were to work with Gilbertsville Farmhouse for the first time (btw, we were the first to add draping to GFH's barn and it added such a romantic touch to our decor!)   Her professionalism, knowledge and patience were very much appreciated during our wedding planning.   We are so happy with how beautiful the florals came out and enhanced our wedding decor.   We highly recommend this vendor for all future newlyweds.   Thanks Cullen Creations!

We worked with Heather for our Oct 2023 Catskills wedding for our florals, greenery, reception decor and candle/vase/drapery rentals. Heather is the most organized and detailed vendor that we worked with for our wedding, and she was so understanding and kind throughout the entire process!

As we planned our wedding we felt so reassured with Heather as she was always very responsive to our (many!) emails and offered planning calls to talk through options and ideas. She made an effort to understand our goals, offer suggestions based on what we wanted, and even suggested ways that we could save on costs, which was so appreciated. As detailed people ourselves, we appreciated that she always followed up with a detailed spreadsheet that tracked everything in our order, including inspiration photos and descriptions that were important to us.  And when our vision altered a bit halfway through planning, she was very understanding and pivoted to ultimately put together a great combination of beautiful florals. We got so many comments about our beautiful fall-themed groomsmen boutonnieres, and when my husband had worries about the flower size and color for his boutonniere, she made two options to choose from on the wedding day. Heather, along with her husband Jae, went above and beyond when setting up for our wedding -  they even helped us chase a squirrel out of our bridal cottage that morning!

Heather works so hard to understand her clients' needs and approaches ideas with great suggestions and an open mind. Her prices are also reasonable for what can be a very costly part of wedding planning. One of our deciding factors in working with her was that we were only committed to our day-of styling fee, and we had the freedom to customize our floral and rental selections as we planned the details with her, rather than being committed to a very high minimum, which many other floral/rental vendors require. We are so glad that we got to work with Heather to bring our wedding to life and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for florals, rentals and decor styling for their wedding!

I couldn't have imagined a better person to work with for wedding florals than Heather. She was kind, extremely responsive, thoughtful, and flexible with the entire brainstorming/design process. As someone with no experience in floral design, I valued the way she checked in with me to make sure the decisions we made fit my vision for the day and also how she offered her expertise with color/design choices. I trusted her completely with the process and was floored with the final results - it is clear she cares so much about her work and about honoring each bride's unique vision for the day. My highest recommendations!

Heather was an absolute dream to work with and a god send on my wedding day. For over a year, she spent countless hours helping me plan and figure out my vision. Her execution was flawless - my venue was completely transformed when she was done. She did everything from rentals to set up to flowers. She really has and does it all - do yourself a favor and book Heather for your wedding!

Working with Heather and Cullen Creations was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. She is so incredibly passionate about every idea and detail. She truly worked with me patiently to make every idea I had come to life and come to life beautifully! Everything was immaculate and done with the utmost professionalism.

Heather was AMAZING! Not only is she detailed oriented, responsive, and easy to work with.she's incredibly talented. She was able to bring our vision to life and I cannot thank her enough!

If we could give Heather 100+ stars we would. Our venue's coordinator recommended Cullen Creations to us and from the moment we met we knew we had to look no further.
We had a general idea of what we wanted and no idea where to start but Heather made the entire process so easy. Her advice and suggestions were incredibly honest, and she worked within our budget while making sure we had everything we wanted and more. We used Cullen Creations for florals, drapery and rentals (vases, candles, etc.) and every single thing was perfect. Not only was she always available to speak with us over the phone (probably more than she had to with other couples ;), she worked tirelessly the entire week of our wedding while sick and even stayed to make sure all the floral transitions were seamless. Her professionalism, dedication, flexibility, attention to detail, versatility in design, fair pricing and communication are unmatched and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Heather for making our wedding planning process so enjoyable and for creating the florals and designs of our dreams!

We first met Heather and Jae in 2018 and knew we wanted to use them for our wedding in 2020. Well, 2020 came and went, and thankfully we were eventually and finally able to use them for real on 6/2/2022! They exceeded our expectations and all of their decor, from their little keepsakes to their furniture, are all so gorgeous and perfect. They helped us make our party feel more like "us" than I ever could have dreamed of! I will always recommend Cullen Creations to anyone looking to bring personal touches to their own parties! We love you guys, thank you so much for sticking with us through all these years! <3

The best advise I could give any bride would be to hire Heather for your wedding. She is thoughtful, talented and an absolute pleasure to work with! She was able to bring my vision to life with ease and comfort. I was always excited for our phone calls to discuss and refine our plans. She's there for you every step of the way. A true professional who's passionate about her work. Give her a call and see for yourself!

Excellent—our wedding ceremony looked so beautiful thanks to Cullen Creations. Heather was amazing—wonderful communication. Highly recommend!

We loved working with Heather Cullen / Cullen Creations Team for our June wedding. The drapery was a dream come true and really pulled our rustic barn wedding vibe together in a romantic and seamless manner. Can't say enough wonderful things about this team! The drapery was a non-negotiable for me and I love that Heather and her team were able to be a part of our wedding dream team.

I absolutely LOVED working with Heather! From the very beginning heather was so responsive, informative and had amazing suggestions!
Due to a double booking I had a VERY tight timeline. I had my heart set on a white birch arbor but the timeline was going to be extremely tight and my dream of this arbor did not seem possible due to set up/break down time but, heather made it happen!
Heather made my vision come to life with every single detail. I will never forget walking into my venue on my wedding day and being blown away. Everything I had envisioned she hit spot on and I will forever be thankful. My guests could not stop talking about the decor and the phenomenal florals arrangements for weeks past the wedding.
Heather spent so much time sitting down and listening to exactly what I wanted and always kept in touch leading up to the wedding. If you have a chance to work with Heather I promise you will NOT regret it!

Heather is phenomenal. You should hire her immediately! I had a very vague vision for what I wanted and Heather was able to take that and create something truly magical. She is all about the tiny details and felt like a second wedding planner. She did a lot of background communication with my venue and was always an excellent communicator with me. She is efficient, insanely organized, and generally just a fun, no nonsense person who is exactly what you need on your wedding team.

We cannot say enough positive things about the flowers Heather put together for our wedding. She was a pleasure to work with as we planned for the big day. Using inspiration photos, she perfectly matched what we had envisioned. The arrangements were so full and beautiful, and exceeded all of our expectations. We could not get over how perfect they were, and our friends and family expressed how stunning the arrangements were throughout each space of our wedding. We would highly recommend Heather!

First and foremost - Heather is a wonderful human being and takes her job very seriously. She's very detailed, organized and has a method to her madness. In the crazy industry of weddings right now, she was the only vendor that I had who was consistent, calm, and organized. Also, as a florist, she was able to distill what were the most important parts of the vision that I had, even when I didn't have good words to describe what I needed. She advised on where to spend our money and did not just try to suck us dry, as florals usually tend to be one of bigger ticket items on your wedding list. Heather understood the assignment. She also has never done a wedding in our venue before and I think she did an awesome job figuring it out on her own. She didn't need any assistance (except for her husband Jae, who is also wonderful). She never bothered us and handled everything and executed on time. Heather and Jae moved / repurposed items from one area to another area seamlessly (almost magically). Last but most importantly, our flowers, as you can see in the pictures, are colorful and happy - they blew people away. Overall, an amazing job by the beautiful duo themselves, Heather and Jae. They only do 1 wedding a weekend, so lucky you if you're able to snag a date.
