TESTIMONIALS

"Words cannot begin to describe how grateful we are for the creative and personalized favors that Lara Kocerka designed not only for our wedding, but for the rehearsal brunch and for the bridesmaid luncheon! The cute brownie mixes, personalized Starbucks cups, and white chocolate shell goodie-bags were absolutely amazing!

In addition, all of the wedding day accessories that Lara made for us were unbelievable! My bridesmaids and flower girls absolutely adored her beautiful hand-made picture frames and double stranded pearl bracelets, and her beach-themed wish bucket and bubbles were a huge hit at the wedding! Finally, the candle centerpiece she created for our sweetheart table was beautiful and elegant, and the sand ceremony glass container she designed will be treasured forever. She was with us every step of the way, and it meant so much to us to have her helping us through the planning of our wedding. Everything she designed was flawless and exactly how we had imagined it.

Thank you so much again, Lara, for all of your help, guidance, and beautiful favors! You truly made our wedding day perfect!"

"Where do I even begin... Lara is an absolute joy to work with. Austin and I are so grateful to Lara for making the final touches to our wedding absolutely stunning. Wedding planning is fun, but let's face it, it can get very stressful. Lara eliminated all of that stress for me. Not only is she the most creative person I have ever met, her work is undeniably beautiful. Working with DBE, I knew I was guaranteed great results. But it's more that that, it's the experience of working with them that makes everything that much more special.

Lara did our programs, escort board and menus for our April 30th St. Augustine wedding, and from my experience, people don't usually comment on programs, but numerous people came up to me at the wedding and complimented them. Not only does DBE do amazing work for whatever event you have, they make you feel like you are planning it with your girlfriends. I look forward to planning more events and will now look for parties to throw just to work with them. I love my DBE crew!!! Thanks again for helping make my wedding so very special!"

"We are so thankful to Lara for all of her help with our wedding planning over the past 6 months. Everything came together so nicely and the reception was absolutely amazing!! We couldn't have asked for the day to go any better. Everyone was obsessed with the guest bags and I had so many people tell me how much they loved the sail boat idea at the reception! We had so much fun and keep talking about how we want to go back and do the whole day all over again. Thanks again for all the time and hard work put in to make everything so wonderful for us, we truly appreciate it."

"Through my years of gift giving I've always found the time to hunt and purchase the perfect gift for any occasion. Wrapping up my recent wedding priorities with a baby on the way time was of the essence to keep up with the creative and personalized gifts I had been producing prior to my schedule change. Declaration Boutique and Events took all of my stress away. With the ease of a single meeting with owner and creative director Lara Kocerka, a price range and what I was looking for, the gifts I needed were wrapped and ready to go within a matter of days! I would recommend Declaration Boutique and Events for not only personalized gift giving but for presents with out a purpose as well. Between the delicious smelling candles, hand made jewelry and hand bags, there is something for every St. Augustine shopper!"

"Where in the world do I begin? Lara is AMAZING. She is superwoman in a tutu! I've seen her flawlessly plan an entire wedding in a month, dance around the store picking out the perfect, thoughtful gift, concept, create and produce hundreds of one of a kind paper goods and all of that with a happy, hard working disposition. She is thorough and to the point, she will tie a bow on anything she can get her hands on and most importantly, she genuinely loves what she does. Working with Lara has been the easiest, most delightful experience and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!"
