Karen reviewed: CHRISTMAS WREATH MAKING WORKSHOP Oxfordshire Venue 2: Faringdon

"Brilliant experience. Jenni was a great instructor, even with my work-addled brain getting in my own way, she was patient & demonstrated each step giving additional help when needed but allowing me to get in touch with my creative energy. I was in the zone by the time we started adding greenery and the end result is amazing. It’s now hanging on my front door and visitors I’ve had today have asked where I bought it! Jenni was so informative about wreath-making, and the greenery and berries we were using. She was warm and friendly, even providing hot drink & yummy pie to round off a wonderful workshop. Thoroughly enjoyed experience and I’d definitely book another workshop with Jenni."

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you Karen for an enjoyable workshop and a wonderful way to end what has been a busy Christmas Workshop season. I’m so glad you relaxed and got in touch with your creative side—it certainly showed in your stunning wreath! Knowing it’s already getting compliments from your visitors is the cherry on top. You’ll be taking orders next😅 Once again I am thrilled you enjoyed the wreath-making process and would be delighted to welcome you back to another workshop in the future. It was so lovely to receive such lovely feedback. Best wishes Jenni"

"Thank you, Sue! It was such a pleasure to be part of your experience—well done to you and the whole team! It sounds like you had a wonderful time creating your arrangements, and even better, you all ended up with stunning displays that would be proud to grace any table this Christmas. Wishing you all a joyful and flower-filled festive season! Jenni"

Maggie reviewed: LIVING SPRING WREATH MAKING KIT with Spring Bulbs on a woven willow/birch base

"I was thrilled to receive the Living Spring Wreath kit from my son for Mother’s Day. What a wonderful gift! The selection of bulbs and greenery were lovely and there was a good supply of moss and willow to make the basic wreath. I am very pleased with the finished wreath and have it displayed on my garden table for all my visitors to admire. "

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"What a lovely review to receive on a Sunday morning. It is always so rewarding to hear such wonderful comments, and especially that you have so enjoyed the experience which is a 3 in 1: Crafting, Gardening and Floristry with this Living Spring Wreath Kit. I am sure it looks beautiful and as you say will be appreciated not only by you, but your visitors too! Well Done!"

Liz Yuille reviewed: Spring Living Wreath Workshop: Didcot OX11 Oxfordshire

"Just spent a wonderful afternoon with Jenni. She guided us through making a 'living' wreath in a supportive, but not prescriptive, way. We all left with great wreaths that will change over the coming weeks as the plants bloom. Highly recommend."

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you Liz, we had such a lovely class and such a creative group of ladies and as you say, all left with beautiful handcrafted Spring wreaths which will develop and bloom as the season progresses. Hope to see you again for our Christmas Wreath Advanced Class. Jenni"

"This was a brilliant craft activity and I am delighted with the result. Jenni was so thoughtful in all communications with me. Her online videos were really helpful and she thought of everything when she sent the craft box to me. I would highly recommend this wreath-making kit."

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Hi Anna. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your activity as if I remember correctly you bought 2 kits to make together with your daughter for your birthday. It is so rewarding knowing that in a small way I contributed to making her day a little more special and in the end coming away with a gorgeous wreath that she can continue to enjoy for weeks to come. Jenni"

Rosalie Radburn reviewed: CHRISTMAS WREATH MAKING WORKSHOPS Oxfordshire Venue 1 Didcot

"My daughter and I had a fabulous Festive afternoon making Christmas wreaths with Jenni Wren. We were total beginners but that didn’t matter at all. Jenni was very patient and explained things very clearly. We didn’t feel rushed at all and nothing was too much trouble. We came away with two beautiful wreaths and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended."

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"That is so lovely, thank you for the feedback. It was great to see a mother and daughter work so well and compliment each other. I am sure they looked amazing on each other's respective doors and that you both had a wonderful Christmas. Hopefully we will see you back for another wreath making session. Jenni"

Satisfied in Devon reviewed: Christmas Wreath Making Kit on Eco-friendly Willow Bases

"Really enjoyed the experience and the box of materials was beautifully presented! YouTube videos easy to follow along and communication from Jenni was prompt and responsive. Very happy with my wreath!! Plenty of foliage provided. I only made a 10.5inch wreath so I used the leftover foliage to make some garlands for the mantelpiece. "

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you for your super feedback and I am so happy you enjoyed the wreath making process and found the video tutorials easy to follow. What a lovely way to use the left over foliage, now not only is your door looking lovely with the wreath that you made but your mantelpiece too. A definite win, win. Have a glorious Christmas. Jenni"

Becca reviewed: LIVING SPRING WREATH MAKING KIT with Spring Bulbs on a woven willow/birch base

"Thank you Jenni, I ordered three living wreaths to do with my sister and mum for mothering Sunday. The box arrived promptly and the instructions were very easy to follow. We had plenty of bulbs and choice of supplies given to make the wreath. We all had a lovely time making the wreaths and they look lovely on the door I can't wait to see how it develops! Highly recommended!"

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Hi Becca, What a wonderful gift for you all for Mother's Day and a such a lovely activity for you all to do together. I am thrilled you all found the tutorials easy to follow and happy that had more than enough supplies to make the wreath.👏 I hope they bring you much joy as the bulbs develop and grow. Just remember to keep misting/spraying regularly which will ensure that the material remains fresh so that the wreath keeps it's condition and lasts well into late Spring. Do remember you can continue to refresh and replace, even popping in a few succulents with the moss pins provided if you wish the wreath to continue through to the summer. So many options and of course the bulbs are replantable as well as the wreath base reusable, once deconstructed. Who knows? ,You may well get together and all do the wreath making together again next year, making it a Mother's Day tradition 🤩. All the best, Jenni"

Sara reviewed: Christmas Wreath Making Kit on Eco-friendly Willow Bases

"I really loved making my wreath. The video was easy to follow and I think really liked how it turned out. There was more than enough material to complete it and the communication from the seller was great. "

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you Sara for the review, I am just so relieved you got your kit and managed to get it made and up well before Christmas. It always is so rewarding when customers are happy with their results as it is a lovely part of Christmas and one that soon becomes a yearly tradition. Seasons blessings, Jenni"

Rachel Gardner reviewed: Christmas Wreath Making Kit on Eco-friendly Willow Bases

"I ordered both the wreath and table centre piece kits. Service level was excellent, kits arrived when requested, instructions were extremely comprehensive. Very high quality kits with lots and lots of greenery to allow design choices. I made extra items with the left over greenery, house looks lovely. Videos very comprehensive. Jenni quick to reply to messages and sent encouraging/informative messages when kits were sent . Thoroughly recommend Jenni and her kits. My crafting friends made some lovely items with me and commented on how impressed with the kits they were too."

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Ooo what an awesome review, high praise indeed🤩. The wreaths were a first for last year and we're very popular, so I thought I would add a table centerpiece and again it has been very well received, so I am tremendously happy. This means I will just have to add more to the range next year 🥰. I am thrilled that your house looks lovely as it always is such a wonderful time of year, made more special by the fact you have handcrafted your items which is so much better than shop bought ones.👏. Until next year then, perhaps? Jenni"

Maureen reviewed: Christmas Wreath Making Kit on Eco-friendly Willow Bases

"My wreath kit arrived as promised and contained plenty of foliage - all in good condition and beautifully packaged. Communication has been excellent with comprehensive instructions and videos. Thank you. "

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"I am so relieved that you received your parcel in timely fashion especially due to the postal strikes and even happier it arrived in good condition. It was lovely to receive a picture of the completed wreath hanging on your front door. You have done a super job. I love the fact that you have left some of the willow wreath exposed, which is a great feature, especially as you wove it yourself from scratch. The best thing about the willow wreath is that you can repurpose it for another season or at the very least Christmas 2023🤩. All the best Jenni"

Sue reviewed: Christmas Wreath Making Kit on Eco-friendly Willow Bases

"Fabulous evening.... fun and relaxed tutorial making a wreath from scratch! Learning how to make a willow base, then step by step instructions with lots of different foliage and embellishments provided. Highly recommend Jenni's course... She was friendly, patient and great fun! "

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"It was such a rewarding online session to see the progress from weaving the willow base to the finished wreaths especially as you mentioned you weren't crafty. The end results were fabulous, with rich, lush foliage and personalised detail. You even nailed the ribbon too, with the first go, which most people battle with. I think you have successfully moved from a non crafter to a crafter and hopefully this has inspired you to do more and challenge yourself to create more wreaths for the future. As I always say Wreaths are not just for Christmas 😅. Next year I will be offering even more designs including the Skandi Christmas Wreath which leaves some of the beautiful willow wreath you wove exposed, so do look out for that. Have a blessed Christmas, it was a real privilege to have met you both, and of course Mark, your 'Techie' in the background. Jenni"

Patricia Butler reviewed: Christmas table centrepiece arrangement DIY kit

"Thank you so much for the beautiful centrepiece kit and amazing video. I can't quite believe I've managed to achieve this and got the confidence and skills to give it a go again. It was so exciting opening the box and there was plenty of foliage to go at plus everything else needed. Loved the terracotta dish instead of plastic too!"

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you so much for your rewarding review and after seeing the pics you sent me of the completed arrangement - you aced it! Well done!👏 Yes I prefer the terracotta to plastic and it can be used again and again which is great. I am so glad you enjoyed the experience and as well as gaining a new skill. The arrangement will last long after Christmas, just keep topping up with water every now and then, but do remember to protect your table from any water spillage etc. Have a wonderful Christmas. Jenni"

Jayne reviewed: Christmas table centrepiece arrangement DIY kit

"This was our first time attending a live zoom craft course & it worked so well on all levels due to Jenni’s thought , care & expertise ( as well as bundles of patience !) . From beginning to end jenni communicated so well we felt fully briefed and ready to start being creative . The box arrived in timely fashion & its contents were beautifully preserved & labelled . The session was not rushed & Jenni’s instruction was clear & friendly . Great value for contents & time & energy given from a genuine teacher wanting to share her skills & experience . There’s no better way to switch off from the Christmas stress ,learn a new skill & be proud of yourself for a truly bespoke creation ! What fun !"

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Wow, your comments blew me away and I really appreciate your time to write a review. I do hope that you managed to take away new tips and floristry skills to enable you to create your very own masterpieces for not only this Christmas and many Christmases to come. It is wonderful to see your energy and enthusiasm and I am sure you will go from strength to strength as you develop and grow in confidence in developing and expanding your repertoire. Jenni"

Cicely reviewed: LIVING SPRING WREATH MAKING KIT with Spring Bulbs on a woven willow/birch base

"This was the most amazing craft experience, I would highly recommend. The kit came beautifully wrapped and labelled, clearly with such care and love. The instructions provided were detailed and the video tutorials were endearing; they were a joy to watch, I felt that Jenni was in the room with us having a chat! It was great that we could pause and repeat bits over again to make sure we were doing it right. The end result was a beautiful piece, which is proudly displayed on the front door, but the process was the best part! Thank you Jenni, I look forward to doing some more of your wreaths in the future!"

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Aaaah, thank you so much for the recommendation, it is so appreciated. I am so pleased that you got the sentiment and love behind it, as I do try and take special care to ensure that everything is labelled and wrapped. I am even more pleased that you enjoyed the process. To handmake an article from scratch through to the finished product, is a wonderful achievement. Even better, that you and your passers by, get to enjoy and admire the wreath on a daily basis. Well done! Hopefully you will be inspired to use the base for another seasonal wreath and of course the bulbs, which can be planted out and enjoyed for next Spring."

Alfred Jang reviewed: LIVING SPRING WREATH MAKING KIT with Spring Bulbs on a woven willow/birch base

"It was a gift for my Mum, a pensioner. She found it hard to follow the instructions and the video, and as a result did not get the most out of the gift."

Pauline reviewed: Spring wreath with gorgeous artificial flowers and nest detail.

"Jenni attended to my order well and even though I was sent the wrong wreath kit in error she compensated by sending the correct wreath kit free of charge which I thought was a lovely gesture. My friend has both the wreathes - she is the artistic one - and I'll be taking photos once they are done. She loved the assorted silk flowers and nest detail and was excited to make the wreath"

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Hi Pauline, thank you so much for your lovely review. In the end turns out she did get the right kit after all.? It was a post office error allocating the weight and receipt to the wrong order but as it was a birthday present, I wanted to make absolutely sure and sent an additional kit. I am so pleased that she is looking forward to making the wreath kits and I am sure they will look lovely when completed. I am looking forward to receiving the photos and I am sure by the second one, she will be quite the pro ?. All the best, and thank you for supporting my small business. It is so lovely to seeing my designs 'come to life' so to speak, but each person being able to put their own stamp on it. Jenni"

Jane reviewed: LIVING SPRING WREATH MAKING KIT with Spring Bulbs on a woven willow/birch base

"What a wonderful experience! The materials were carefully chosen and packaged and the tutorials very clear. Absolutely delighted with the results! I can feel a new Spring tradition coming on and will be recommending to friends and family."

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you for making my day by sending me the photos of your you lovely completed wreaths. Well done! I am so delighted that you are delighted ?. Absolutely in agreement with you, I think that's an excellent tradition to start and what's more you can reuse the wreath bases that you wove again. Result all round?. Jenni"

Kim Pedrick reviewed: Christmas Wreath Making Kit on Eco-friendly Willow Bases

"Jenni, Thank you so much for sending me my wreath making kit so promptly. So enjoyed making this. I am a complete novice and found your instructions and guidance really easy to follow. Thank you again. Will highly recommend this to my friends for next year. Kim"

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"It so warms my heart when I receive the review like yours which it is why I decided to do the kits in the first place. I really wanted novices or people who thought they weren't necessarily artistic, to be able create something they could be proud of, especially when making it themselves, and from scratch. I am also happy that you found the instructions easy to follow and so lovely that you'll be recommending me to your friends. I'm already excited for next year and planning a number of new designs for a Christmas range.???. Take care and thank you, Jenni"

Lynn Woollard reviewed: Christmas Wreath Making Kit on Eco-friendly Willow Bases

"Jenni was swift to reply from beginning to the end! The course was 2 days away and I couldn't make it to the venue, Jenni pulled out all the stops and got me the kit sent to my home so I could join in the class virtually. The course was fun and rewarding, we all have lovely wreaths on our front doors now and are extremely proud of what we have made! The materials and the variety of them made the wreathes look very professional and individual. Jenni was friendly and very knowledgeable and encouraged us to keep on knowing that the end results would thrill us all. I could not fault her or the class a great teambuilding opportunity. Thanks Jenni!"

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you so much Lynn. It was such a pity with all that hard work and preparation that at the last minute you were unable to attend, but thanks to the Royal Mail overnight service, and the benefit of a virtual workshop, we made it happen. For your colleagues, who managed to attend the workshop at your office, it was great fun, and they all relished the 'challenge' and were all so happy with their efforts. We had a few visits from other people in the office and all were equally impressed, Yes, you were right, each one was very individual in their own right and the choice of colours, arranging style and personalities, were very evident in their final pieces. They indicated they would like to do another next year, perhaps a Table Centrepiece or even a Christmas Garland? Hopefully by then, things will be back so some kind of normality and we can meet in person. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family. Jenni"
