Applause

Kayla and Valerie were amazing and fun to work with and helped to create my Disney inspired day on such short notice. I loved how they were able to bring everything together in such an elegant way. Not only were they able to create such beautiful displays, they helped keep everything flowing from one thing to another. They made my day magical!

Mikayla

I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for our wedding. Taylor and I had the most perfect day and that would not have been possible without your help and planning. The decorations looked absolutely AMAZING. Compass Occasions truly went above and beyond!

Kayla N

These women are sensational! They are incredibly talented with so much enthusiasm for what they do! They take all the stress away from the special day! I will always refer to Valerie and Kayla!
