They literally turned my backyard into a picturesque Italian Villa. No detail was missed, and every step of the planning process, from vision boards, budgets, rental selections and personal touches were methodical and just a breeze.

Thank you Oscar for your personable touch and exquisite demeanor.

I gave her a loose idea around using proteas and colors and she absolutely hit it out of the park - everyone at the wedding was gushing about the flowers.

Florist Amanda was…read moresupposed to be my florist for my wedding in May 2020, unfortunately we had to postpone it to 12/19/20 due to COVID. She was a preferred vendor by our venue so we trusted her. When the California Governor shut down California two weeks before our December wedding, the venue cancelled our wedding on us. Amanda stole from me by refusing to give me my money back, not even half. She provided absolutely nothing in return even though she harvests her own flowers and they did not go to waste. I truly thought she was a genuine person after speaking with her on the phone several times, but at the end of the day all she cared about was money and couldn't have cared less that my wedding was cancelled on me. I would NOT recommend her as your florist.. she is a thief

She was very responsive when I would ask questions or would let me know when payment was due or received. She told me when she would need to use the room and her team was punctual and on time, so that we were able to get into the room to finish our decorating before the wedding. When we entered, the room looked so elegant and our daughter was truly thrilled. I would highly recommend her services as she has such an array of decorations for so many different themes.

The good: This place is just all-so American and I love it…read more My aunt comes here for the berry pie and buys several of them to bring to me in SoCal. She's a frequent customer and she seldom eats pies. She sometimes freezes them. It's packed with so many berries and has a pure berry taste. It's sweet but still maintains the tartness/acidity of the berries so it helps your ability to eat more of it. My husband finished almost an entire pie in one day. The bad: My aunt said the apple pie is too sweet and therefore prefers the more tart/sour berry pie. I wish I tried the pie with ice cream because that would have been a nice compliment. The interesting: They're family owned and have been around for decades. You can pick fruits here too.

She was excited to purchase a pie and other treats, but was shocked and disappointed when the extremely rude owner turned us away.
