The Big Bang

All I can say is thank you to Chris and his team! I live in San Francisco and reached out to Big Bang Events for my brother and sister-​in-​laws baby shower, I was throwing for the new expectant parents in Sacramento. I trusted in Chris, let him know it was an Alice in Wonderland theme and from there everything flourished.
I don’t even know bakeries in the area and Chris gave me the name of the baker and who to speak with, he made everything so easy.
What I can say is… there were 86 guests and every person was blow away by the work Big Bang had done and said they have never been to a baby shower like this. And I found out that Big Bang even made all the props themselves. I really want to thank Chris and his team again for giving my family and our friends a memorable day that will not be forgotten. Beautiful, exquisite and unique.

LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Chris & The Big Bang are unbelievably amazing!!! I can honestly say choosing Chris as my florist for my wedding (June 13^th, 2015) was not only the best decision I had made but the easiest… We all know wedding planning is crazy & I had my share but the moment I spoke with Chris on the phone to meeting up with him in person with my mom, I just knew it felt right. It was a given that I made the right choice picking The Big Bang. The bridal & bride’s maids bouquets along with the centerpieces & décor were gorgeous & exquisite in every detail. His execution was flawless!!! Chris really has an eye for design & décor. He is beyond talented. Not only is his creations a work of art, but what makes it more special & is definitely hard to find these days is his heart & care that go into the designs. Chris goes above & beyond to make everything look absolutly lovely! I highly recommend The Big Bang for your next wedding or special event. You will not be disappointed!!!

All I can say about the Big Bang is WOW. I could not have asked for anything more. My flowers were stunning better then I dreamed. Chris is so talented! My best advise, let him do his job. He also did my lighting and a few other decors it was amazing!

Yes, I concur with Martha is every way! The wedding of my daughter was absolutely breathtaking, the floral designs exquisite in every detail. Chris was truly delightful; I felt like my best friend was in charge of decorating for my daughter’s wedding. He shared our vision immediately and was a constant inspiration to each of us. It is important to note that I had extremely high expectations in every aspect of the wedding and Chris far exceeded them. I cannot thank Chris and Big Bang enough; their performance was nothing short of spectacular!

Chris is the most outstanding professional person in his field. Exquisite wedding floral arrangements which created a magical wedding setting event this past Saturday, October 4, 2014. He is unsurpassed in his tasteful selection of flowers, how they are arranged and placement of each arrangement to make the event more special in every way possible. Gracious and easy to work with when preparing for such a special occasion. We had unconditional faith in Chris’ taste and he did not disappoint us in any way.

Perfect. The staff are super easy to work with, always communicate clearly and promptly! Our wedding was so beautifully decorated it felt like a fairy tale. We cannot thank Big Bang enough for all that they did, and how well they worked with us. Incredible people to do business with!

What can I say?! My wedding was beautiful! Truly unique, artistic and nothing short of exquisite. Chris is an artist. He has talent galore and is a fun, charismatic and entertaining person. He stands behind his work and is going to get the job done right!
So…why not 5 stars you ask?! Well, although the end result was perfect (which is definitely the main thing), the process could have been easier. Maybe it is just my type A personality, but it wasn’t always easy working with Chris. Emails would often not be answered or answered with one short sentence days later. I felt I was annoying them when I wanted to change or add things (even when my first venue cancelled and I was forced to start over.) There were some battles over the rules of my new venue which really caused me a lot of stress and were completely unnecessary. It was just always a bit more effort on my part then I felt was warranted when, after all, I was paying him to do a job for me. The end result was, going into it my wedding day, I didn’t have that feeling of confidence I really wanted.
That said, the day of my wedding, the flowers, the décor, the execution was flawless! No detail was forgotten, it was beyond beautiful! I was so happy with all of his work. Because of this I thought about not even mentioning the other stuff, but it was almost a year of frustration on my part, so I think brides should be prepared that if they are control freaks like I am, they are in for a bit of a headache. But it was WELL worth the end result! I would book him again in a heartbeat and would just be prepared to feel like a nag haha.

Our 05÷04÷14 Wedding was described by our guests as magical and beautiful. Chris & staff are creative & talented. Heart and care go into the designs. His creations are a work of art. The centerpieces, Chuppah, bridal & bride’s maids bouquets were gorgeous. We are so happy that we used The Big Bang!!!

Chris is an endless source of creativity, talent and entertainment! I’ve attended many beautiful weddings styled by The Big Bang, so selecting them as the florist for our wedding was a complete given. Chris really knows all the area’s venues and has ideas for making every nook and cranny look incredible. Example: he turned an otherwise ordinary (read: unsightly) curtained wall into an amazing display piece by hanging oversized gold frames exhibiting floral works of art in front of the fabric and adding up-​lighting for emphasis. Genius and gorgeous!

I loved working with Chris! He really exceeded my expectations. What is so great about him is that he isn’t just a florist, he is a designer. He really has a eye for design and decoration. I showed him pictures of what I wanted and he delivered. My bouquet flowers were so beautiful and dramatic. I really wanted something that was grand and not cookie cutter. My bridesmaid bouquets were also way more beautiful than I expected. We also ordered chargers to make the tables look more complete. The centerpieces were perfect. We had floating candles and normal candles with flowers intermixed. And the flowers lasted for almost 2 weeks! He also covered our cake in a cascade of flowers which was so spectacular! I have never seen so many flowers on a cake a one time:)
We also rented a runner for the church from Chris which was beautful. He made pretty bows out of ribbon for the isles and decorated the candelabras up front with flowers. Overall I loved his style and everything that he did for us and I was surprised by how much our budget bought us. Thank you Chris for making our wedding so stunning!

Chris and Brent are awesome! They did the flowers and so much more for my daughter’s wedding last Saturday at Arden Hills. Chris was so much fun to work with and after we met the first time, it was like we had known each other for a long time. Chris made us feel like we were in good hands. He reassured my daughter that he saw her vision and her vision came to life on her wedding day. We went to look at the Heritage Room prior to anyone going in and they did not disappoint! It was my daughter’s vision for sure.
I highly recommend The Big Bang for your next wedding, special event…

Chris was amazing! I had a fairy tale vision in my head and Chris and his team brought it to life… actually even better than I had imagined!!! He listened, had great suggestions and was so fun to work with. Our wedding was a huge undertaking and Chris always responded promptly and with a sense of humor which helped keep my nerves at bay and it made the event fun to plan! I will definitely be using Chris and his crew at my next event.

Chris and Brent get 5 stars! Hands down, one of the best planning teams I have met! They were so easy to work with, and made my wife at ease… if ya knew my wife, you would know what a Herculean task that is!
The event was beautiful & if you are looking for someone to do an event for you, start here and look no further!

I have known Chris Merrick for almost 12 years, and his flowers and decorating are like nothing you’ve ever seen. He has the most beautiful unique style you won’t be able to find anywhere else. I own a small business which throws several events a year, and The Big Bang always decorates for them. He goes above and beyond to make everything look absolutely lovely. Call the Big Bang for event decorating and flowers, if you go anywhere else you won’t be getting the best.

If you’re looking for wedding flowers or any type of flower set up for an event, LOOK NO FURTHER. The Big Bang is unbelievably outstanding. Chris set up the flowers and bouquets for my wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. My venue was more beautiful because of him. I would recommend the Big Bang 10 times over!

Chris is awesome! He and his partner are talented! My daughters wedding was beautiful. He was so patient & accommodating. You’re the best! I have one more wedding in the future & you’re my pick

Had my 2^nd consult because I changed the colors of my bridesmaids dresses and Chris put my bridal anxiety to a calm! I love his visions and I cant wait until my wedding day his work will look fantastic

I use the Big Bang because they are the best in town. I use them for all my events. Chris and his team are my go to guys. They do beautiful amazing things and they are always ten steps ahead of me and think of things that I didn’t even know I needed.
Take the time to schedule a visit with them at their shop down town, it is amazing and will get your ideas flowing. :O)
I would recommend the Big Bang Events for any event or wedding.

My mom & I met with Chris for wedding flowers and he is absolutely hilarious, a delight to talk to. He had us cracking up the entire time!
He is also very experienced with our venue, Grand Island Mansion, & gave me great tips. His prices are about average & he has lots of great ideas. Unfortunately due to budget constraints we couldn’t book with him, but he was very courteous, professional, & gracious throughout.

Amazing! My wedding flowers were amazing. Everything from the bouquets to the table center pieces. Chris and his team hit the mark. I knew what I wanted and he put it together exactly the way I wanted it.
I actually got teary when I saw the sample of one of the tables for my wedding in his shop.
If you don’t know what you want, but have a color scheme and a budget, he will design something gorgeous that you will love.
You can’t go wrong with The Big Bang.
