Meet Perla…She’s creating your arrangement!

After 8 years at Cabo Flowers and Cakes, we can’t imagine how we’d get along without Perla.  She is one of our top floral designers, having risen through the ranks at Cabo Flowers and Cakes over the years.  She’s an orchid lover, and a wedding lover! In fact, one of her favorite parts of her job is going to the actual weddings and helping to set up all the florals.  She’s a hard worker (it’s gets hot and sweaty, pulling together all the floral arrangements for a beach wedding in Cabo!) but she never complains!  She can wield a staple gun along with the best of them, and can fix a troublesome flower with tools from her every-handy toolbox!

Perla’s favorite wedding locations are Cabo del Sol golf clubhouse and the Sunset Da Mona Lisa restaurant, and her favorite part of her job is producing the floral arrangements for a wedding.  She says she loves it when she delivers the wedding flowers, and everyone smiles!

Perla  recently worked with a local wedding planner, Katie Thompson of Dazzle ‘Em Event Design, putting together elaborate floral decor for a beachfront wedding.  “I love Perla!  I love the way she takes what she does so seriously!” said Katie.   “Every wedding is very important to her.  For every flower order, she checks, re-checks and then checks again to make sure everything is literally perfect!”

On a personal note, Perla is also an avid soccer player.  In fact, practicing her English, she sang, “I love, love soccer!” as she was being interviewed! She also loves learning English and has become much more outgoing in her second language.

Why should a client use Cabo Flowers and Cakes? “Porque somos los mejores,” Perla says.  (Translation: Because they are the best!)

 

EMPLOYEE HIGHLIGHT – MEET JOEL

Joel Lopez Taylor

Joel Lopez Taylor has been a member of the Cabo Flowers and Cakes family for 8 years, but it seems like longer!  He has been a part of every project, and a help to every customer, since the minute he started working with us! He is a customer-service enthusiast, and said this is his favorite part of the job.  “I know more about other people’s needs than my own, and I’m here to help with those needs,” he said.

We asked him a few other questions, and loved his responses so much we wanted to share them with our clients (and future clients)…

Why does Joel enjoy working at Cabo Flowers and Cakes?  He answered that it helps him to grow as a person, and to mature.  Thanks to his bosses, he said!  (Not to toot our own horns, but we have loved watching Joel grow as an employee and become a wonderful administrator and someone we rely upon constantly.)

Joel’s favorite location for a wedding? One of our favorites, too!  Cabo del Sol golf clubhouse.

Joel’s favorite flowers?  It’s all about the smell!  Tuberoses and Casablancas.  Great choices, Joel!

His happiest moments at work?  “When a person says Thank You or that their flowers are beautiful!”  (He actually hears that a lot…love it!)

Let’s end this blog with his final words.  Why should a client use Cabo Flowers and Cakes?  He said, “Because we make beautiful things!”  Simple, to the point..and true.  We DO make beautiful things.  Check us out for your Cabo events! Thanks, Joel!

 

 

 

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH – LUIS FERNANDO

Proud doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel about July’s Employee of the Month, Luis Fernando.  He’s been a member of our Cabo Flowers and Cakes family for four years, and he has grown so much in his knowledge of flowers, floral design, and customer service.  When you get some of our beautiful flowers delivered to your event, it helps to know the faces behind the scenes.

Things to know about Luis Fernando:

He loves his job. He creates floral arrangements, makes deliveries, works with clients, and sets up for weddings. His favorite part of the job?  Driving the Cabo Flowers and Cakes van around Cabo, making deliveries.

He loves flowers.  His favorite flower?  The Casablanca lily.  Why? “Because they are durable (very important when you are a florist!) and smell nice,” he explains.  

Making clients happy makes him happy.  “When a client is happy, then I feel content and satisfied with my job,” he says with a smile. 

The Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Sky Pool is his favorite wedding location in Cabo.  This is interesting, because this is not the easiest location to work at (lots of hills going down to the beach, which then, of course, you must go up again as well!) But it is an amazing location and so worth the extra bit of effort!  Check it out. 

He loves going to the beach!  (Like everyone else who lives or visits Cabo!  Our beaches are gorgeous!)

Why he thinks a client should use Cabo Flowers and Cakes?  “Because we do good work!”
