    I ordered a bouquet of pastel flowers (the standard size on the website is attached) to thank my previous manager since I have recently switched hospitals. What she received is absolutely nothing like the website and to add insult to injury is John's response to my call about the flowers falling short. As you can clearly see in the photos, John kept providing a multitude of excuses including; some pastel flowers were not available and were substituted as stated in their policy, some flowers may have shifted during delivery and how on their website images always show the flowers bunched up on one side. He said he could bunch them together so it looked tighter but that is just him offering to put a rubber band at the bottom. Regardless if some flowers were unavailable, it is clearly evident the number of flowers used was too little, the substituted flowers do not match the title/theme of the bouquet which is pastel, and no amount of flowers shifting in transit can make up for the fact they used too little flowers in the bouquet. Then he interrupted me to say I was rambling as if I did not have the right to be upset. I paid for a service and John's company failed to meet expectations and instead of recognizing their faults he decides to insult me. He asked me to send him an email and I have yet to receive a response. As a healthcare worker, I am embarrassed to have my old coworker think I would thank her for all the kindness this past year with a measly bouquet that looks like it was picked from my backyard. John, you can choose to make up whatever lie you want to defend yourself but the fact of the matter is you failed to create a bouquet to even appear similar to what you advertise online.

    A Personal Touch did a phenomenal job with our centerpieces and bridal bouquet for our Christmas-time convalidation/wedding. We sent an image in advance, and they did an excellent job recreating our vision. They were also great with communication and finalizing details.

    We worked with John at A Personal Touch for our wedding at Nanina's in the Park, and would highly recommend him to anyone. John went above and beyond to deliver our vision. When I first met with him, I did not know what I was looking for. I told him I wanted something less formal and little more rustic. Immediately, John gave me some ideas for lantern/flower centerpieces with lots of greenery, with matching flower arrangements for my girls. On the day of my wedding, I was blown away by the arrangements. They were truly stunning. They were elegant but not formal and stuffy. John gave put candles into the lanterns which made the entire room glow. It was beautiful. John is an artist and he knew what I wanted even when I didn't. Highly recommended florist for any occasion.

    we had john do the flowers for our wedding and they were absolutely beautiful! I wasn't sure which flowers to use and he suggested sunflowers and i was very happy with how they looked with the girls dresses. it really made everything pop! the centerpieces were gorgeous and the flowers lasted for a very long time when i took them home.

    This is the owners response

    Last week I went to Personal Touch with my aunt and Uncle. We walk in and we were greeted, asked what they could help us with, so my aunt tells them that we just left the funeral home and need to get flowers for a wake. She then proceeded to tell them that we want to it to say "loving dad" and "loving pop pop". ( so by default , florist can assume that we are either the children of, or the grandchildren of someone that has passed away. ) my aunt and uncle are doing all the talking and I am standing there is a daze because I just lost my grandfather and I had only slept for 3 hours that night . So the owner looks at me and says "what's wrong with you ?" And I replied that I was exhausted. So without skipping a beat he says "well if your exhausted at your age you have something wrong with you." And I guess the owner can tell by the look on my face that what he said was wrong , but there was no apology. Let me start off by saying , I have never in my life dealt with someone so boorishly insensitive after just being told that someone's family member has passed away. The cavalier attitude that was presented from the second we stepped into the store was completely and utterly disgusting. Also, I understand that we went into get flowers the Thursday before Easter, so there were probably a lot of orders. The owner really made it seem like we were inconveniencing him with the fact that we needed flowers for my grandfathers funeral. I can promise that he will not be feeling inconvenienced going forward because I will never order flowers from this place again. I will also make sure that my family and friends are well aware of this situation so they do not inconvenience the owner. As a life long Nutley resident , I have made orders and received orders from Personal Touch, and I will never put another penny into that business. I will give credit where credit is due, the flowers were very pretty, and the owner did end up giving us one free rose and sunflower after realizing that he pissed me off. On that note, I guess if your looking for nice flowers, and a personal touch of "we're the only business in town attitude" to go with it, this is the place to go buy flowers.

    Cake from Aromi di Napoli with fresh flowers from Personal Touch Florist...STUNNING and DELICIOUS!!
    Cathy L.

    I went to Personal Touch to get fresh flowers for a cake being made at bakery in town for my mom's Surprise 60th birthday. I spoke with John and showed him a picture of a cake (from Pintrest, of course) that had sugar flowers on it. They matched the picture with fresh flowers so closely it was just stunning. And they were sweet enough to drop off the flowers at the bakery the evening before my cake order was to be picked up! The cake was gorgeous and I have both the bakery and Personal Touch to thank for that!!

    I ordered flowers online the day before I needed them. I know, a little late but I gave it a shot…read more I knew I was pushing my luck. The selection was plentiful and prices were $45+, depending on size. I chose the Deluxe Wild Child option which is the designers choice. I figured they would make something amazing. I left a note for the florist that the recipient loves bright colors, roses, and exotic flower to help with the decision. I'm in a different time zone and the day was passing by without an update. I gave Rosaspina a call and the knew exactly my order, was very pleasant on the phone, and was also eager to celebrate. I was told a photo of the flowers would be sent to me as well. The flowers were delivered an hour or so later. I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, the flowers turned out to be a piece of art. Absolutely stunning! A bright birthday bouquet that was perfect. I loved the detailed email updates, the studio photo of the creation, and the delivery was wonderful. The flowers came in a stylish square vase. Cost: $58 for standard, $115 for deluxe, and $173 for premium. $20 for hand delivery. I left a $10 tip for their excellent service. This local florist in Montclair, NJ is top tier. Thank you!

    Absolutely gorgeous, exactly like the picture! Very pleased and will use again. Easy to order…read moreonline and was delivered on time.

    Rude owner. Under pays workers, curses off customers and employees…read more I never lied about my experience with you. You are simply rude and manipulative! I wasn't a reliable employee ? I literally came to work the next day when we had some of the worst rain and flooding we have seen in years and I still made it to work I didn't call out I came in. I did everything you asked of me and I asked you for more hours and you said no. There have been multiple times where I would stay at the shop to try and learn and just to help you out . I'm not unreliable I just can't stand Rude fake people. Calling me names and paying me 8 dollars an hour is beyond disgusting. I told you that was too low and you Promised me better pay once I got a little better at my job. Which I did! Maybe I wasn't the best at arrangements but you never took the time to teach me. You would just do an arrangement and tell me to now do it my self. You lied! You wanted cheap labor from a person who needed a job desperately. You lead me to believe I would be trained and would work my way to a pay raise. How many times did I ask you to give me a pay raise ? You raise all your prices yet you can't pay your employees ? All the driving I did for you . Literally just bought a car and my seats were ruined working with you . You didn't pay for gas at all And as far as me not showing up for shifts and being unreliable you literally told me not to come into work for three weeks straight. You literally left me hanging for weeks without pay while you were paying me eight dollars an hour . I would literally show up to the shop on time and even before hand for you just to text me to go home . Once I did come back you literally replaced me and then belittled me about it . You made your new employee take over everything and you always talk so highly about them and how quickly they caught on and how they're just going to take over everything when I've been there trying my best putting my all into this and being there for you even when you weren't at the shop. I would go there to help you And I didn't even get paid hourly for that. Not training me properly and belittling me for asking questions or making mistakes is insane. I don't know why you think threatening people to make them learn is a good idea it's not Especially when you knew I had little to no experience. You are the one who lied and took advantage of me. Maybe if you weren't a liar and manipulator this wouldn't have happened. You said you would train me and teach me. You never did!!! All you did was tell me you'll finish it all and to go home. You literally called me a retard because I was admiring and studying an arrangement. Maybe it never occurred to you that some people actually learn by studying things and looking at detail. To you I was just a retard. I don't see the big deal since no one was in the store and I did literally everything you asked me to do that day and more. I don't know where you get off thinking you could talk to people and treat them however you like, your fake façade doesn't fool everyone that's for sure. You lied to me when I could of said yes to a billion other employers yet I wasted my time on you. I was a bad employee?? You are a bad teacher and employer ! Don't say I'm a liar when you have the emotional capacity and empathy of a hormonal teenager grow up and learn respect.
