We were planning a holiday gathering for family and friends when I learned about Lillian Judith…read moreCatering. Thank goodness!! Stephanie worked closely with us to determine the menu. Because our guests had a lot of food issues - gluten, nut and dairy it was a real challenge! Stephanie carefully curated a menu that hit all of our requirements. In addition, because we live out of town for most of the year, our decorations, holiday plates and whatnot were quite limited. Stephanie put my fears to rest by assuring me she'd take care of all the details. As the day of the party dawned, we had the place all cleaned up and ready. Stephanie and Mary arrived about an hour before the guests and set to work transforming our little place into a festive, inviting party spot. We had holiday cocktails and mocktails, delicious heavy appetizers and desserts that were out of this world. Stephanie literally thought of everything. All the food was labeled so our guests could choose foods that were best for their food sensitivities. At the end of the party they gathered everything up, helped set aside uneaten food for later consumption and left with very little for us to other than sweep the floor and fall into bed after a very fun and satisfying gathering of friends.

I drove by Buds many times, but I've never shopped with them until recently. I came in on a Monday…read moreafternoon to request a simple bouquet and boutonnière for my courthouse wedding in two days' time. The day was going to be very special for us, but we were approaching it very low-key. The lovely lady at the desk asked for my color and flower preferences, to which I responded very vaguely. She asked for my price point, and then said she'd take care of everything. I arrived about an hour before my wedding. She and two of the other ladies came out to congratulate me and deliver a GORGEOUS bouquet and boutonnière. I was blown away. We received compliments on them all day long. Everything about this experience was magnificent!

Stunning! Classic! Fabulous! Fun! These are the exclamations written on the four photo prints of…read morethe flower arrangement (sent to me in a thank you note by the recipient of the flower arrangement) I sent them from BUDS. She was thrilled, delighted and touched by the beauty of the flowers and the artistry of the arrangement. Could I possibly ask for more? But, more is exactly what I received from this service-oriented, customer-focused floral shop. I'll begin with Amanda, the floral designer. Pleasant, upbeat, and totally in tune with the detailed explanation of my expectations. In a 33-minute conversation, we covered: precise container, flowers, colors, height & shape of arrangement, amount of floral flow over the container and delivery timing. And... She delivered - right down to the type of berries I wanted. BRAVO AMANDA! BRAVO!!! I also applaud other members of their incredibly pleasant staff. My initial contact was with Mary. She was efficient and helpful with size, pricing & staff selection. Brief conversations with Tony & Jane confirmed that this is precisely the shop I would go to for a large, important function or event. So why does my opinion matter? I have been a flower arranger for more than 30 years. I have showcased arrangements at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston three times (for their Art in Bloom fundraiser). I have received ribbons at the Boston Flower Show and numerous local Garden Club Flower Shows & Fairs. I have high expectations. I am BEYOND delighted when a floral shop meets them. My thanks and appreciation to BUDS Floral. Looking forward to our next collaboration!

During a summer camp, they left our six year old unattended on a public playground in a county park…read morethat was open to the general public. The entire camp came back inside and left him there, at a playground that was next to a pond, road, and parking lot. He had to find a grandma who finally figured out where the camp was and took him back. They had no idea he had been missing. They did not tell us this had happened until we picked him up and even then told us conflicting stories about what happened. I don't think they had any protocol for actually keeping track of campers.

To be honest, it is uncomfortable to write details about my experience; but to keep it short and to the point. Shannon just doesn't have what it takes to manage many moving parts. You can hire her to plan your kids birthday party, but by no means can she handle a wedding; and mine had under 150 guests. My other vendors had a hard time coordinating with her and appeared disgruntled towards her. understandably so. She might appear to write things down, but manages to confuse dates, times and specific requests. Hope this helps the next bride; Pay a little more and get a stress free day!
