Having had a great experience with Eventricity for my wedding flowers, I thought I would post a review. I met with Eventricity two months before my wedding, not really knowing what I wanted. We had a very long meeting in which they helped me figure out what style I wanted (it turns out I am a "simple elegance" person, who knew?!). We then planned everything, item by item, and they were very patient with the time it took me to make my decisions. When Eventricity sent me their proposal a week later, they also helped me make a few modifications to make sure that it would fit our budget. Finally, when I asked whether we could add a few flowers for my hair at the very last minute, they made it sound like it was not a problem at all and generously offered those. This was really nice and somewhat unexpected! The result was beyond my expectations - the flowers were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. The lanterns I also asked to have as centerpieces were amazing, and many of our guests commented on how well everything was arranged. So overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend them. read more

I just used for my wedding and they did not do a good job At all..First of all they forgot to make all the bridal party buttoners! ALL of them! We had to take formal pictures without them, and after 3 hours of waiting,and right when the ceremony was about to begin, they show up with a mashed up old carnation with a pin for the GROOM!! really?? I had by the way requested and payed over priced orchids. My bouquet had old and brown flowers, clearly not fresh, they never decorated my cake as they were supposed too, and also after running behind them for hours they threw 3 flowers on top. I've definitely seen much better flower arrangements for the amount of money they charge. Definitely not a good experience read more

Who knew there was so much to planning a special event?! When my sister and I started to plan our parents' 50th Anniversary Gala, we intended to do it ourselves. Thankfully we ultimately put our trust in Eventricity to the delight of our guests and honorees. Their decor props include everything imaginable: grand candeliers, vases, and beautiful flowers graced our tables. The staff was incredibly patient with us as we changed our theme at least three separate times. They communicated exceptionally well throughout the process, arranged several planning meetings, and were constantly in touch to make sure no detail was left to chance. Their attention to detail truly made it a spectacular and memorable event. read more

Extraordinarily disappointing service during critical wedding day logistics. They actually created more uncertainty and chaos for the main organizers and got defensive when we needed basic answers to help logistics run smoothly. As a professional event planner myself, I was shocked how unhelpful they were and how many critical details fell through the cracks. Don't pay someone to create more stress on your wedding day. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Eventricity for our wedding flowers. We met with our consultant Mia several months before the wedding and were not sure exactly what we wanted. Based on pictures of my dress, our colors, and my own personal style she created a vision for our bridal party and venue that I never could have done on my own. She was familiar with the venue from prior events and was able to help us plan every item, line by line, generating a detailed proposal with everything we wanted and the associated cost (which not only included flowers, but extensive draping and table cloths as well). In the months leading up to the wedding we sent emails back and forth to make modifications. They were efficient and prompt to reply and adjusted our proposal accordingly. When I realized the groomsmen's tuxedo lapels were more slender than I originally thought, she was able to adjust the boutonnieres accordingly. When I wanted to add on table numbers and a toss bouquet at the last minute they were extremely accommodating. The result was beyond what we could have hoped for. On the day of the wedding everything was delivered early. My bouquet matched the color and style of my dress exactly, the boutonnieres fit the lapels on the tuxedos perfectly, and our centerpieces and table numbers were stunning. When we walked into our venue we were absolutely amazed and we are still getting comments on how beautiful everything looked. We would definitely recommend them without hesitation! read more

We used eventricity for our wedding flowers in April 2012. The flowers were prefect when they got to the hotel but shortly after they started dying! So I walked down the aisle trying to hide that one half of my bouquet was dead. I was so upset! They did give us the money back for my bouquet but that doesn't help the pictures I will have for a lifetime. I would never suggest to someone I know to use this company! read more

This is the second wedding that I worked with Phyllis and her team on. A year ago, my daughter got married and we had the 225+ person black tie event with a $15,000+ floral, decor and lighting budget. Everything was magnificent and we appreciated the detailed planning, monitoring of budget and outcome. Six months ago, I called Phyllis to let her know I was getting remarried but we were having a "small" wedding of 80 guests, and would she be interested in a small budget wedding over Thanksgiving weekend (we wanted to spend under $4,000 including the Chuppah)? I was delighted that she said "of course" and the planning process, the budget sensitivity and the gorgeous outcome were everything I had before and more! I highly recommend the Eventricity team!! read more

My experience for Eventricity was a challenge. First, they sweet-talked my mom into signed up for their "full" package for wedding planning which costs $10,000!!. This was supposed to cover the cost of ALL of the planning so I expected to just have to make decisions and as they promised, they'd drive me to vendors and make it easy. Not only did they NEVER drive me to places, but a significant number of vendors - including the wedding venue itself - I found on my own because their taste was questionable. For much of the planning, it felt like pulling teeth to get them to respond to emails and to get anything done. Mia was the main wedding planner working for us and I think it must have been her first time because she didn't seem to have a clue. To get anything decided, I had to email or call her until she finally responded that she'd do something and then a few weeks later it would finally be done. There was a year of stress with trying to get all of this done, exactly what I thought the $10,00 "full" package was meant to avoid. It was ME who remembered and helped with the details, not them. The one thing they are good at is helping you envision an elaborately decorated reception which of course they are the vendor for - which left me with a proposal for $17,000 in flowers and decor - this is in ADDITION to the $10K for the planning. To their credit, the day-of was beautiful - as it should have been, for this amount of money. Their day-of coordinator, Mark, was wonderful - he anticipated every detail and need throughout the rehearsal and the day-of, and he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time - helping to line people up for photos, sending people down the aisle, even bustling my gown. At our wedding itself, I found out that Eventricity is mostly a flower company but recently merged with Mark's company which is a wedding planning company. So, it is possible that in the future their wedding planning will be better, but that was not my experience. Although the day was great, it was not worth all of the money and the year of stress. Save your stress and your money and find another wedding planner, or make sure Mark is handling your wedding. read more

I met with the company for flowers/event for my wedding. they seemed very on top of everything and initially understood the look I was going for. I brought a disk with some ideas,and had my budget. The company called me a couple of times to confirm our appointment. I thought they would be very professional and on top of it since they were confirming appointments and had offices in center city and elsewhere. I was told they would put something together and put a proposal together and get it to me. I waited 3 weeks, with a couple emails in between (not replied to) to ask about progress as I had received nothing. Finally, after 3 weeks (and putting off other florists from whom I had proposals from because I had met with eventricity first and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt) I started calling over to figure out where the hell the proposal was. after getting the run around a couple times and being told I would be called back and not getting called back, I got ahold of them and they told me that the company lost all their notes and the disk and she didnt remember most of what we talked about, and had assumed I was already in receipt of the proposal ( I guess they dont do any followup to see if they dont hear from people in a while). she said it was very unlike them to have done something like this and she could do some talking on the phone with me to refresh the ideas, and come up with something soon, or meet with me again at their office although she "didnt want to waste my time" (ironically) but that she understood if I had to go elsewhere or get back to other vendors I had interviewed. what a shame. and she was so unapologetic for wasting my time and losing all of her notes, not confirming I had a proposal...nothing. I decided I didnt want a company that unapologetic and irresponsible handling anything about my wedding. go to someone more professional. read more

Having worked with Phyllis and Eventricity in 2008, we looked to her to plan our daughter's bat mitzvah last month. Phyllis is so incredibly amazing, competent and calm, I don't know where to begin. From graphic design, to favors, to negotiating with vendors, to designing the entire room, to working with the caterer and designing the time line of the event, she and all of Eventricity did everything A+ perfectly. She guided us to have our daughter's dress made, and then had tape to take care of a last minute wardrobe malfunction! Phyllis even had everything packed up at the end of the night and sent us on our way. As the parent, I was able to enjoy the entire event and my memories are so clear as I had time to take them in. Importantly, throughout the months long process of planning (details I would never have thought of on my own), Phyllis was always easy to get in touch with, her entire staff was equally supportive, creative and humorous when I needed a light moment toward the end! I can truly say the planning was as fun as the event itself thanks to Phyllis et al! My family cannot wait to work with the Eventricity crew on our next event (or put another way, we could not have another event without them!) Thank you for everything! read more

Initial meeting was successful and promising. Unfortunately in the end, neither of those words will be in our vocabulary when describing our interaction with the company. Imagine receiving wedding photo proofs and seeing in ceremony photo that FOB's bouttoneire looks good while FOG's looks crumpled and brown as they stand side by side. Imagine seeing MOG's wrist corsage have flowers fall off during cermony in aisle next to you and MOB's corsage flowers start falling off after service before leaving first site. MOB's was replaced prior to reception but since MOG's wasn't, neither wore them. Imagine hearing from your very well paid florist that it certainly couldn't have been their fault. Lighting at reception site was not what was discussed--after the fact they said they made a decision--without our consent. Centerpieces while perhaps to some were beautiful, were not as bride or MOB discussed or wanted.Was I to take notes for them plus pay them? Any white flowers started turning brown before we left the ceremony. Also hired their now 'day of' company to oversee the day. Due to an issue with the reception site there were many problems.We saw issues at reception site and had to deal with them instead of the 'day of' company stepping in and getting things fixed. I suppose if things go well, they're fantastic. We were compensated a small monetary percentage afterwards by Eventricity.That was to be the end of it for us--we never requested a dollar amount but left it up to them as they saw fit. BUT imagine the surprise in seeing the owner chose to include a litany of excuses and finger pointing back at us in some cases along with the check.Adding 'we apologize' every other line showed a lack of respect. It speaks to the condescending attitude shown to clients when things don't go right. We have since informed the reception site and showed photos of the dead flowers so perhaps they will stop recommending them. read more
