What a joy to work with Sally at Barber's Florist. I called in somewhat of a panic situation -…read moreSally would probably say more than somewhat! I had scheduled a delivery with another florist, and they didn't inform me until very late on the scheduled delivery date that they would not be able to deliver the flowers - yikes! I was so grateful that Sally immediately grasped how important it was for me to get a flower arrangement to a very special person. And she made sure it happened - including going the extra mile! I've already received a call, thanking me for the flowers and commenting on the beauty of the vibrant arrangement. Thank you, Sally and thank you Barber's Florist!

So, we haven't had our wedding yet. In fact, we've only had our initial appointment. I'm not one to…read morewrite a ton of Yelp reviews, let alone reviews for a service we haven't fully had yet. But that's how good of an impression Vito and his team left, and how confident I am that we made the right choice for the wedding. I am completely hopeless and lost when it comes to design and having an artistic eye. Other than "we get married, everybody parties," I had no specific vision for the wedding and walked into the appointment utterly clueless. But when my mom and I walked in to the appointment, Vito took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. He actually showed us some real samples, rather than solely relying on pictures. He is incredibly personable and made both of us feel very comfortable and at ease. He explained how the flowers would work with our venue and everything about the coordination process (it helps that he's worked with our venue several times). Vito also has an incredible eye for design and his prices are extremely reasonable (in fact, at this rate, it feels like a steal!). They work quickly too - not even 24 hours later, we got a follow-up email from his team with all the information we'll need moving forward. After just one appointment, I can't recommend Vito and Carl Alan Floral Designs enough. My mom and I can't wait for the sample appointment, and I can't imagine working with anyone else!

Pros: During the planning process they were attentive and accommodating, which I appreciated given…read moreI had to rescheduled 3 times during Covid. I also met the owner Carl while I was in the planning process and he was very, very nice. Cons: The team did not deliver on multiple things we talked about ahead of our reception. Our sweetheart table did not have flowers on it as discussed (only greens which I'm sure is much cheaper) and they did not use pillars to display flowers on the sides of the table. The team who set up was nice, but they ran late even though they were aware of the allotted time for them to set up. We were planning to rent additional vases for a couple hundred dollars and they did not end using them. The venue made sure I was aware of this too (because they used their vases instead). Since they did not use them, I asked to be refunded for what I paid for the additional vases (nothing else) and was basically ignored. I was told they were sending a check, never received one... then followed up a couple times and never heard back. After spending thousands and thousands of dollars on flowers with them, it is mind boggling to me that they cannot return a couple hundred dollars that we are owed. Our wedding reception was last May (2021) so they have had plenty of time. Does not seem ethical to me at all and because of this I will not use them for any future events or recommend them.

Kerry and the team at Fabufloras = chefs kiss. So many people commented on how stunning our…read morewedding florals were. Our initial phone call with Kerry was so impressive - she knew every flower, what would look good together, and drafted a comprehensive proposal quickly. When there was a change to our venue, she quickly offered a number of other options for an initial floral installation and the result was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Absolutely 10/10 recommend that you use Fabufloras.

We had an incredible experience working with Kerry Fabrizio for our wedding weekend. I knew how…read moreimportant flowers were to setting the romantic ambiance at a wedding, but I had absolutely no ideas about the flowers or arrangements I liked. In our initial meeting, Kerry met with me for an hour and had prepared a specific Pinterest board for me based on super broad feedback about the color of flowers I wanted and the intended vibe of my wedding. She had me "pin" the options on Pinterest that aligned with my vision, and then she explained exactly what styles I seemed to prefer. It was an absolute no-brainer to hire Kerry to do the flowers for our wedding day, and we also ended up asking her to do the flowers for our welcome dinner. Throughout the wedding planning process, Kerry communicated with us clearly, answered our questions thoroughly, and took the time to go to our venue with us for a walkthrough to review our gameplan in detail. She made incredible recommendations, and we had very little "work" to do on our end to feel confident that Kerry (and her amazing assistant Carly Gonzales) had everything covered. For both our welcome dinner and wedding day, everything was executed perfectly! Kerry and Carly were on time and created beautiful floral masterpieces. We can't recommend working with Kerry enough!

My only brother got married a few days ago on the east coast, and I was so sad that I couldn't…read moreattend due to the pandemic. I live on the west coast, so I had to get creative about showing up to the wedding somehow. I decided to "be there" in flowers and offered to make floral arrangements for my brother and his bride. I found Alisha Simone Elegant Event Flowers & Decor. I was excited to support this amazing Black-owned business. I called many florists in Collingswood, and Alisha Simone was the most thoughtful florist I spoke to on the phone. Very kind and professional. She listened and connected with me on a human level, empathizing with my inability to attend my brother's wedding. She was hopeful that she could support me and make the flowers a special offering, a token of my love. Alisha Simone certainly delivered, and I've been singing her praises ever since. To be safe during COVID-19, the wedding was small. I explained to Alisha that it was a party of 8 people including the bride and groom, the parents, the maid of honor, and best man. Alisha worked with me on figuring out the best flowers for each person involved and sent me a portfolio of sample arrangements for the bouquets as well as boutonnières. I could tell that it was going to be special working with her, because she had asked me what the bride's dress looked like, how tall my brother was, his build, their heights, etc. She explained that she tries to tailor the floral arrangements to match the same style and mood of the bride and groom. Her attention to detail meant the world to me. The bride wanted a mostly blue bouquet with white flowers, she had mentioned hydrangeas but was also open to any soft blue flower. I really wanted to make sure the bride would be happy with her bouquet. Alisha was brilliant, she recommended delphinium. But I was worried that it wasn't going to be enough blue for the bride if we just used delphinium. I had heard that hydrangeas wilt faster, but Alisha worked hard to accommodate the bride's wishes. She also affirmed the need to add hydrangeas to provide texture. So she said that she could put hydrangeas in small water tubes so they could stay fresh in the bouquet throughout the day. She assured me that nothing would spill if she set the bouquet down. As you can see, the bridal bouquet consisted of white roses, delphinium, some hydrangeas, and some greenery. On the day of her wedding, the bride was so happy! She felt that the bouquet was perfect. Alisha really listened to the bride's needs and my concerns. The groom's boutonnière had a wonderful soft blue accent to match the bridal bouquet, while the rest of the party had uniform white roses with some greenery. The bride had asked for the mothers to have corsages, but we went with petite bouquets instead when Alisha mentioned that the corsages might die faster and become a nest of dead flowers without the stems to dip in water. This was a really good point. Alisha kept in mind that the weather would be hot, and if the wedding party was going to be in three different locations (ballroom, church, house) then it might be better for the mothers to have petite bouquets. That way, she said, they could put them in water throughout the day and then take home their bouquets to enjoy them longer. I loved this suggestion so much. This shows just how thoughtful Alisha is as a florist. Alisha Simone is a florist that you can trust. She has my highest recommendation, and I would definitely work with her again. You will feel cared for as you plan your wedding. If you're long distance (like me) and you'd like to deliver flowers in Collingswood or the greater Philadelphia area, you will appreciate Alisha's clear communication. We were in touch by phone and email. The payment process was easy. Anyways, I wish I could've been at the wedding in person. But it was such an honor to celebrate my brother and new sister-in-law through the flowers that they held/wore on their special day. Thank you, Alisha. We're all so grateful for you, and we wish you tremendous success. I hope you thrive!

Hiring Jaclyn Fisher Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read more Jaclyn guided us through full-service planning with a level of organization, calm, and genuine care that made the entire experience feel manageable and even fun. She understood our vision quickly, helped us refine it, and brought forward ideas and vendors that were perfect for our style, budget, and priorities. In the months leading up to the wedding, she handled every detail proactively. Nothing ever slipped through the cracks. She kept us on track, communicated clearly, and advocated for us with vendors in a way that made us feel supported and protected throughout the process. When the wedding weekend arrived, her team showed up fully prepared and were an absolute dream to work with. They handled every moving part quietly and efficiently so we could be present with our families. Anytime something needed to be adjusted or solved, they were already on it before we even realized. Our day was beautiful, seamless, and genuinely stress free because of them. I can't imagine planning a wedding without Jaclyn and her team, and I recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a planner who is thoughtful, experienced, and truly invested in your happiness.

I would've been a mess without her and her assistant Gina!! They kept me sane and let me enjoy my day. If anything went wrong at our wedding, I didn't hear about it because they were so quick to solve any issues. I never felt overwhelmed or stressed and was often told how calm of a bride I was, and I attribute that entirely to Jaclyn and her team. At one point during my wedding day I was feeling nauseous and having a hard time eating, they offered to leave the venue and drive to find Pepto if they didn't have any in their emergency kit (which is stocked with anything you can imagine, which saved me from having to buy a ton of pointless items). They knew our venue inside and out and were friends with so many of my vendors. Working with Jaclyn made me feel so at ease about all of my choices. I cant recommend her company enough!
