Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:
“Coco was truly a dream to work with. She was eager to understand our vision, while respecting our budget, and worked with us very closely to bring our dream wedding to life. I constantly looked forward to our emails, as she provided pictures and proofs to help visualize how we would transform the blank canvas of both our ceremony and reception venue. The quality of her florals and greens was outstanding and actually brought me to tears upon the bouquets arrival. Even our guests gushed over the lush greens and beautiful details that Coco put together so seamlessly. But above all, her kindhearted nature truly kept my husband and me at ease throughout the whole process. Coco, you helped create a day that will forever remain one of the most beautiful days of my life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!” – T.T.
It is because of excellent reviews like this that Coco Design Company is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!
Not Your Average Floral Design Studio
We were excited to learn all about Coco Design Company and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Coco Martin.
The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Coco Design Company stand apart from its competitors.
Coco started by telling us a bit about herself and her team, saying that she has an incredible team working with her, who dedicate so much of their time and energy into making these events match their clients’ visions. She said:
“I’m really passionate about what I do. I pay attention to the details of every specific bride’s wants. I’m also a little bit of a perfectionist; I like things being just so, especially working with the bride and making that all come to fruition.”
She told us that one of the things that helps them stand out is her incredible bouquets, and how the use of color, flowers, and texture all go into making these uniquely beautiful creations. She also spoke about the rugged beauty of Maine. She told us:
“I pride myself on using different flowers, beautiful foliage, and textures. There are a lot of textures I like to incorporate to make the bouquets stand out. A lot of brides choose me because they have a certain vision when they come to me. A lot of my brides are from out of state. Either their husbands grew up here or they vacationed here. Maine is a great destination place, and a lot of my work emulates the beauty of the rugged coast. I think there’s an elegance to it.”
We asked Coco about the Coco Design Company mission, or how they work to make the world a better place. She responded:
“We definitely pride ourselves on being a green company that recycles everything. We use local farmers when we can. the number one mission that we have here with Coco Design is that we try to minimize our impact on the environment. Also, another really big point is that every bride and groom’s wedding is a special day, and I take that very much to heart. I take it very seriously. I make their wedding one of a kind. That’s really important to me. I love to make people happy. It’s a byproduct of the business, to make a beautiful face, make it one-of-a-kind, and really move the bride and groom with the details and the end result. That’s something that we strive to do, to take every bride individually.”
Building Success By Networking
Coco Design Company has earned a remarkable reputation, so we wanted to know how they have managed to grow their company and get their name out to new potential clients. Coco told us that networking has been their greatest resource for new business.
“The state of Maine has a wedding networking system. I meet a lot of different photographers and other people in the industry. I am on a lot of preferred vendor lists at a lot of venues. I’ve created relationships by working with all these people. When you have that close-knit community and you know people show up on-time and do a great job and are very professional, that relationship grows, and that’s what we do. Working with other wedding professionals is really the key to getting a great vendor team.”
There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Coco Design Company has managed to. We asked if Coco could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:
“Definitely seek advice when you’re starting out. I basically did all this all by myself by researching it, by talking to people, and by using different tools that promote my presence online. Get a great brand, and then utilize that brand. It is really important to update social media and show that you’re doing things and being present.”
Congratulations to Coco Design Company for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Coco for taking the time to speak with us!
