did our first wedding with Erin at Daffodil Parker WAY back in 2006! Tracy, our
sweet bride, was also a labor and delivery nurse at the time and ended up being
Erin's nurse while she was having her daughter!

is one talented and BUSY woman! She has three beautiful kids, one of which is
an infant whom she sometimes has strapped to her while creating some of the
most gorgeous arrangements we’ve ever seen!
FUN FACT: Working
with Cathy is a hoot! That girl is so talented, but also so fun to work with.

FUN FACT: We may have shed a tear or two when Cheryl, the Events Manager,
left Bishop's for a short period. We are thrilled she is back!

many times as the other Madison venues, it has quickly become a favorite of
ours for many reasons.

family...gingers rule the world! She and Katie went to the same high school
together!

time to working with various charities.

with WAY back in 2004!
