You have us a celebrity wedding. Photos of our wedding are being shared around on Pinterest and that's probably the biggest complement. You are so direct and fair. Catering to our wildest dreams as well as our strict budget. Thank you from our hearts for making it such a dream come true.

Renee has alot of experience and many options for event decorations. I already know she will do a good job from the many pictures of examples of the events she did but when I saw my bouquets and the room where I am having my ceremony, I was still VERY impressed. The bouquets were amazing and the floral centerpieces, the flowers were really fresh, and blooming beautifully (even the bundle of roses we had for the rose presentation were great too!). We had a back drop and a fabric arch (for the ceremony), they were done with great quality, definitely worth every penny. We got so many good compliments on our flowers and everything that we are very happy with everything.

Renee is amazing!!!! Words can't explain how great she is. She is so knowledgable and creative - she could have been my wedding planner if I had one! I never met someone in a business with so much passion and heart! She not only made my day go smoothly but she turned my vision into reality with just a few words! She not only was our florist but made sure everything went smoothly at the church and made sure I was calm and that my husband and I didn't see eachother until I was walking down the aisle. Thank you Renee!!! We got so many compliments on our tables and center pieces and everything in between!

just wanted to take the time to thank you and your team for all of your hard work. Everything you created for our wedding was absolutely stunning. I have received so many compliments on the centerpieces and bouquets and I owe it all to you. You really took my vision and made it a reality. You went above and beyond my expectations and I am very grateful for that. It was truly a joy and an honor to work with you.
Since my father worked at Cafe La Cave for so many years I have seen my fair share of beautiful weddings there, but the weddings that you have created for myself and for my friend Sandra were by far the best. I am sure that you will do the same for Maria's wedding in April.
I also wanted to let you know that I will be submitting photos from the wedding to the Knot magazine and website. I hope that this will help to exhibit the wonderful work that you and your team at Sanimar provided us on our special day.
I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Thank You,

Well what can I say about Renee and her team. AMAZING!!!!! My husband I hired Renee to decorate the ceremony and reception room at our wedding in downtown Indianapolis. Before we met Renee, we had already spoken to a few decorators and like every bride wanted the beautiful draping, uplights, flowers etc. Ladies, let me say, it's expensive!!! and honestly I was taken aback when I was quoted the cost of my dream list. My wedding was in May 2016 and we were in February and I still hadn't found a decorator who I felt was reasonable in their pricing or at least worth the $$$ they were charging us. Renee is not only super affordable and reasonably priced, but her work is phenomenal and worth every penny. She was the ONLY vendor I hired and signed my contact without meeting her first. I felt really comfortable with her and I didn't want someone else to book her for my date!!! When I sent her the images of what I wanted and the lengthy email about the look and feel of the both rooms, she instantly got what I was going for and when she sent me the proposal, I felt like 'why couldn't all decorators be this way'. We had wanted ALOT of color in our wedding and Renee assured me that she would find a way to make it work. The day of the wedding the first thing I saw was my bouquet. The videographer and the photographer brought it to my room to take pics. When I saw it, my jaw literally dropped to the floor:) It was one of those drop bouquets and it was huge and GEORGEOUS! Lots of oranges, red, blues, purples with greens mixed in. Renee didn't lie when she said she would give me color and make it work...lol. I couldn't stop smiling. My bouquet was the 'template' for all the flowers, centerpieces, aisle runners in my wedding. Everything was so cohesive and stunning. Renee also did our draping and uplighting. We chose 2 different draping styles off their website (1 for ceremony; 1 for reception), and it was done with expertise. I peeked a few times while they did it during the morning and was amazed at how quickly she and the guys did the intricate designs. I had ALL my walls draped and with Renee still managed to remained on budget for decor. One of the great things about Renee is that she tells you the things/decor items/flowers etc. you can move from your ceremony room and reuse in your reception space to cut cost. During our cocktail hr, her team moved the aisle pieces, pillars etc over to the other room. Honestly I didn't see the move. Too busy taking pics:) I saw the final reception room during our entrance and all I can say.........breathtaking. Renee knocked every aspect of our wedding out of the park and I would hire her for any event. She is the BEST! Attached are some photos provided to us from our wedding photographer. Enjoy:)

We ordered decor and flowers for my son's wedding from Sanimar. The wedding took place this last weekend. Wow!.. The room was so gorgeous. Every guest complemented us on this center pieces. The ordering process was easy. Rene and Lena, the florist, understood right away what we are looking for. I knew that decor will look great but it exceeded all my expectations.
Thank you Sanimar for making my son's and daughter in low wedding day so beautiful!
I feel like 5 stars are not enough.

We used Sanimar Decor Studio for our wedding this past August, and we were very happy with how great everything turned out. We found them through our friends who used them when they got married two years before us.
Renee was really easy to work with, and throughout the whole process I felt like she really understood how I envisioned the centerpieces, the bouquets, and everything else. She also did a great job of accommodating our budget.
Sanimar provided a fixed price for up-lighting for the whole venue. Other places we spoke with charged by the light, which can tend to get pretty expensive depending on the size of the wedding hall.
We decided to go with three different styles of centerpieces: a high centerpiece, a glass fusion centerpiece, and a short centerpiece. All three looked great, and I really loved the variety. The tall centerpieces were tall enough to where it didn't block the views of our guests.
For our ceremony, we didn't need a lot of decorations, since we got married in a garden. However, I asked Renee to put some crystals and roses to connect the chairs on the side of the aisle, and it turned out great.
I would highly recommend going with Sanimar for your wedding florist. They were extremely easy to work with, and had a great understanding of exactly what we wanted for our wedding.
