I had a very alarming experience with one of your company vehicles on Central Ave & North Wantagh Ave around 7:22 PM. The driver was operating the truck aggressively and attempted to run me off the road multiple times. At a red light, the driver continued behaving in a threatening and confrontational way. This is extremely dangerous and unacceptable behavior, especially for someone representing your business. I'm aware company vehicles typically have GPS tracking, so I strongly urge you to review your records for that time and location and take appropriate action. I hope this is taken seriously before someone gets hurt. read more

We worked with Virgil for our wedding and he was truly amazing from start to finish. From our very first conversation, he completely understood our vision and brought it to life and then some! He gave us his honest opinion and helped us feel confident about the decisions we were making. Virgil is not only talented but also so kind, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. He made the entire process feel effortless and easy. read more

We booked with flower by Brian for our wedding may 19th 2023. Annette was our designer she knocked it out of the park. She brought my wife's imaginations into light. From the bouquets to the centerpieces and the pergola, every flower was spot on. They're staff was very nice and attentive as well as knowledgeable. Annette knew what she was talking about and opened our eyes to different options. People were raving about the centerpieces and the little details. Thank you, The Colóns read more

I've had two experiences so far with FBB, the first is the fact that they don't answer or repond to the emails they send or on their form on the website. I tried to make an appointment and no one has answered me for weeks, your loss. It ended up working out in my favor because my sister in law used them for her wedding and i got to see that the reviews here are in fact true, the flowers are not fresh. They had brown edges and died hours later, the bouquets for bridesmaids fell apart, including the brides. The service was great, the delivery guy was super nice and made sure everything was correct. he was also on time. they did give a flower girl basket for free, or they just got the order wrong lol. Overall i dont think theyre the right vendor for me, i wouldn't be able to do business with anyway since they dont answer! read more

My husband, Sanjay, and I were planning our multi day, fusion (Catholic Vietnamese and Hindu Indian) wedding in Long Island, NY for September 6 & 7, 2019. In early 2018, we were matched up with Jennifer Rosario as our coordinator/designer. She was phenomenal and we bonded right away. We loved that she was as excited as us to bring our vision to life and was prompt with calls, emails and feedback. In February 2019, family drama forced us to cancel almost a whole YEAR'S worth of wedding planning and we were devastated, but Jennifer stepped up to help us and offered to honor the original contract she drew up for our new venue in New York City. We loved that she truly cared for our wedding and our happiness and worked hard to make our dreams come back to life. A month before the wedding, we went to see Jennifer for a scheduled design meeting, and were met instead by Gabrielle who said Jennifer was called away last minute. We were very confused, but agreed to re-send all our notes, photos and designs to bring Gabby current. Shortly after that, Brian contacted us for a "follow up" to say our contract was "incomplete" and he tried renegotiate the contract and charge us an additional $2500+. Later Brian admitted he had fired Jennifer prior to our last scheduled meeting and told us it was because she didn't charge us enough and promised us (and other clients) "too many things." He tried to force a new coordinator (Gabrielle) on us but we felt she was very dismissive and didn't really care about our wedding vision. Brian eventually conceded when our wedding planner stepped in to say that we signed a contract in good faith and had been making regular payments all year and would not renegotiate. A few weeks before the wedding, during a venue walk through at our Saturday venue, Brian nitpicked on the delivery fee and tried to get us to pick up our own wedding flowers the day before the wedding (from Long Island to NYC). I said I would ask my friends for help. They couldn't make it and I didn't have a car so I emailed Brian that he would have to deliver the flowers as per contract. He replied to tell us to rent a van to come get the flowers. Unbelievable. He eventually relented and grudgingly said he would deliver the flowers to my apartment on Thurs Sept 5 despite the contract saying it would be delivered to the venue on Fri Sept 6, which meant I would be responsible for carrying my own flowers to the wedding venue from my apt on the day of. Then on Thurs Sept 5 (THE DAY BEFORE OUR WEDDING WEEKEND) representative Shannon called claiming that they never received our final check in the mail and THREATENED to cancel/withhold all our wedding flowers. Stressed out, I put the phone call on speaker in the middle of our wedding rehearsal and mehndi night event and my family, wedding party, and guests were shocked as they heard how we were being treated. Finally my planner walked into a bank branch and deposited money directly into their company TD bank account. They still claimed the didn't see the money and I spent a sleepless night prior to my wedding, scared that I wouldn't have any flowers for my wedding. Once the direct deposit was verified, they agreed to make our flowers. However the results were awful. None of our flowers matched what Jennifer helped us design. Brian ruined our wedding! The Friday Catholic bouquets were the wrong color and design. The Saturday Hindu ceremony garlands looked like a six year old made it. The reception staged looked nothing like the photo/designs we made w/Jennifer and that Brian promised to honor. It was so ugly and looked like it was designed for a community room party at the YMCA. I was so embarrassed that our wedding was so beautiful but the floral decor looked like it was slapped together without any attention or thought. Brian caused us so much stress and anxiety in the month before our wedding. WHO WOULD THREATEN THE BRIDE/GROOM TO CANCEL THEIR FLOWERS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING DUE TO A "LATE/LOST" FINAL CHECK? We had made every payment on time and should have been given the benefit of the doubt. So unprofessional! I'm waiting on final photos from our photographer to post side by side photos of our wedding flowers. UPDATE:: after seeing this review on The Knot/Wedding Wire, Brian's lawyer threatened me with a "cease and desist" letter as well as litigation to bully me into taking down my honest reviews. Then he falsely accused me of lying and had my review suspended on Wedding Wire. I am currently initiating an investigating and submitting proof of email correspondence and photos to get my review reinstated. This type of bullying and coercion is how negative but truthful reviews get taken down and future clients get tricked into thinking a company is honest or good when it is not. I am organizing all my notes and photos and will update it all on Yelp to clear my name and to save future couples the heartache and harassment I am currently experiencing. Stay tuned! read more

Ok this is a long overdue review but I needed to put it out there that Flowers by Brian is the best on long island. From start to finish Joseph was able to make exactly what I envisioned happen! I really loved the fact that they have an actual showroom of all different centerpieces so you can get an idea for what you want. I went to other shops where they couldn't put anything "live" together for me as they wanted me to book with them first. Joseph has a good concept of what the bride wants and how to execute. My flowers came out gorgeous!! My flowers were fresh and lasted the entire day plus more. I would absolutely use them again. read more

As much as I really wanted to love this company, unfortunately my husband and I were quite disappointed with the flowers on our wedding day. I emailed Gabrielle multiple times prior to the wedding day and to this day, all of those emails went unanswered. I actually had to call and verify if the emails were received since I was attaching pictures of what I had in mind for the wedding day. I sent a total of 3 emails: one with pictures of cake ideas, one with pictures of the bouquet ideas, and one asking if she had received my prior emails which all went unanswered. Unfortunately the email where I attached photos of cake ideas must not have been seen (even tho Gabrielle said over the phone that she did see it), because our cake turned out to be nothing like the picture. The two stars are for my bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquet which all came out beautiful! They looked just like the photos that I sent via the first email. However the cake and the centerpieces did not come out how we had asked for at all, which is why I suspect that the second email was never viewed. I had sent a photo via email of what I would have liked the cake to look like and described it over the phone as well as in person as a "cascade of blue dendrobiums with some white roses" so that it could match my bouquet. My bouquet came out just like the one I had sent in the picture via email, however the cake we received was a different story. Honestly I do think that the company could have delivered the things that we had asked for if it weren't for the lack of communication. I attached pictures of what I sent via email and what we ended up getting the day of the wedding. read more

2 Words: Virgil Alessi. I can't thank Virgil and his team for putting together the most beautiful centerpieces me and my wife have ever seen. We came in so distraught since the previous florist we hired didn't do what was asked of them. We sat down with Virgil and we explained the mishap and what we were truly looking for and he just knocked it out the F@&*in park!!! I've read the previous reviews and if "customer service" is holding you back from hiring then for your wedding day then you are just crazy. You should look no further than Flowers by Brian. Insane job and couldn't be more happier with the outcome. We can't thank you enough for making our vision look so perfect for our special day. A million thanks for Virgil and his staff. read more

I certainly made the right decision to work with Virgil and Flowers by Brian for a party I threw for my daughter and son-in-law. Virgil understood the look I wanted and followed through magnificently. The choice of flowers, the colors (so warm and striking), the arrangements - just perfect. Everyone, including the staff at Heritage commented on how beautiful they were. Thank you thank you thank you. read more

My friend selected Flowers by Brian for their wedding florist. They were instantly charmed by Joseph's demeanor, how he understood their winter wonderland vision, and how quickly he was able to respond and react to their needs. I went to go see the samples that Joseph had made for the centerpieces, cocktail hour, and talk about bouquets and boutonnierres. We walked in and were treated to coffee and water and lounged intheir waiting area while we waited to be seen. We were then escorted into a rear showroom, complete with table settings, huge displays, and lighting. The grooms loved their birch tree centerpiece, complete with faux snow, candles, and LED's. It was easily four feet tall and surprisingly sturdy. We then walked back into the workroom to take a look at bouquets, mantle arrangements, and get an idea of the larger pieces. The workroom was really well organized, bright, and fun to explore. It was a really fun part of our tour. We then went back to Joseph's office to put a few things in writing, make copies, etc. As for the day of, Joseph was responsible for the ceremony decor, cocktail hour, moving the items from the ceremony to the reception (as centerpieces), uplighting, the entraceway floral arrangement, the bouquets, boutonnierres, and corsages. The staff were on time and set everything up beautifully. Nothing was out of place - they even gave us extra boutonnierres which totally came in handy. All the flowers looked fresh and happy. Toward the end of the night, however, all the maid's hydrangea bouquets were really wilty and sad. Everything else hald up pretty well, but it would have been nice to keep the bouquets to take home! I really appreciated Joseph's agility, since the wedding was planned in a very short time frame. He made a very conscious effort to accomodate my friends and their schedules. While I can't comment on the price point, I felt that his level of customer service was superb. read more

Flowers By Brian was the only florist I went to. I'm usually the one to shop around but when I met with Joseph I was attracted to his personality, detail and enthusiasm. I must have emailed and calling Joseph dozens of times changing my mind on centerpieces and bouquets but he was so patient. He knew exactly what I wanted a delivered! He re-made my bridal bouquet when I expressed that it was not the bouquet I envisioned. The flowers were fresh and lasted about a week. My guests were so pleased with the flowers they took the HUGE centerpieces home with him. One went all the way to North Carolina! If you decide to go with flowers by brian please ask for joseph you will not be disappointed! read more

Flowers by Brian is the best! Thank You to Virgil for making my wedding flowers a dream come true! From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were in the right place. Virgil understood my vision and executed it to perfection! When I walked in to my reception hall, I just stood there and remembered saying "these are mine?" because i was stunned on how amazing everything looked. Virgil was also an a trooper for putting up with me and my constant emails and changes to the original plan and nothing was messed up, nothing missing, everything arrived how it was supposed to (and better looking then I ever anticipated). Thank You Virgil and Flowers by Brian! read more

FBB is amazing! From walking into FBB the presentation is beautiful, it smells lovely and the area where you sit is comfy and beautiful. People at the front desk were attentive and kind. Even the people who are behind the scenes there are awesome. You're greeted with a smile and feel welcomed. Everyone raved about our wedding flowers. Not sure if my venue says this to everyone but they said the arrangements are the best they've seen. My husband and I worked with Danielle Rose. Biggest thanks and praise to her. She was very helpful, kind and patient. What I appreciated about her most is her amazing vision. I told her our wedding theme and colors and she gave great recommendations. She is very knowledgeable and made my husband and I feel welcomed. I will definitely recommend them. The helpers who assisted with putting everything together did an amazing Job. The pictures of everything FBB did will live on in our memories forever. This read more

My wedding flowers were absolutely perfect! My fiance and I were working with another florist but we quickly realized that we were being overcharged for all of our centerpieces. We ended up cutting ties with them and found Flowers by Brian through our wedding venue's bridal expo. We worked with Virgil Alessi - he literally made my dreams come true! I am very detail oriented and am an absolute stickler for perfection and Flowers by Brian has my stamp of approval. We had all of our flowers done with them - centerpieces, bridal party etc. Virgil was so accommodating! We sat down a few times and went over the different floral arrangements we were interested in. At one point, we were around 2 months away and I wanted to adjust the colors of my flowers to a different shade of blue, and asked if there was any way to get peonies for my bouquet (my wedding was in December) - Virgil made it happen, honestly he was a dream to work with! I really recommend this company and Virgil especially! read more

We had our wedding this October, we had paid for our flowers in full in advance. We got a finale head count of 10 tables but we had paid for 4. We were ok with keeping all 14 and putting two next to us and two by the bar still totaling 14. The day of our wedding the delivered 10 4 short of what we spoke about and what was in my contract. The owner Bryan sat there and argued with me on the delivery guys phone telling me I only had 10. I was beyond furious. Thankfully my wedding planner had my contract and it said 14. Even still he continued to argue. The delivery guy was even annoyed and the nice gentleman said he was going to fix it. I can't believe that I spent over $7000 on flowers for them to argue with me about what I paid for, I was beyond furious and the whole thing took 20 min of my wedding day to figure it out. That could have been time spent with my friends and family. Not to mention when we got the 4 pieces they were missing, the flowers were brown and not as full as the originals because they had to put them together so quickly. To say I was unhappy is an understatement. read more

Flowers by Brian is the best we found in Long Island. The process was easy. Brian gave us exactly what we asked for plus more. I found he gave us far more than the worth of the flowers and time.

Couldn't speak more highly. read more

I used this company for my engagement party. We worked with Jennifer who was accommodating and helpful coming up with color scheme and ideas. However that was the last time we had a good experience. The delivery man came to the venue with wrong flowers. He even had the wrong invoice. He had an old invoice reflecting the original ideas, but didn't have the updated one we made changes to almost 3 weeks before the event. We were supposed to have a flower wall with my initial and my fiancé initial and a heart. The heart didn't even show up and they had to make it on sight (and it was too small and looked ridiculous). When we tried to contact the office when we had these issues Jennifer was not in the office. When my parents tried to reach out to her post event she denied anything was wrong. Unfortunately we couldn't get a refund because we were required to pay upfront for the services. I am only giving these stars because Jennifer did help with some ideas and if no one could tell the flowers were wrong (except my parents, aunt, and myself). Pretty much they had their own agenda for my engagement party and went with what they wanted instead of what it was supposed to be like read more

I just got married 2 weeks ago and still dreaming of my flowers from Flowers by Brian. I got married at the Carltun and Flowers by Brian is a preferred vendor there. During the initial process, I had a zoom call with Virgil and then he came up with a proposal for me. My husband and I ordered bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, 11 centerpieces, flowers for cake, and flowers for the church aisles. The day before my wedding I went to see my bouquet and I was completely blown away. I wasn't expecting to love it so much. Just so beautiful. The day of the wedding, the flowers were delivered earlier than expected which is fine and everything was there. My only regret is not thinking of flower preservation eArlier because it breaks my heart to throw out my bouquet! Future brides- preserve your bouquet from flowers by Brian! There are certainly less expensive options out there for flowers but I was very pleased with everything for our very special day. Thank you! read more

My wedding was March 26th, me and my husband were extremely impressed with how our center pieces came out for our wedding they were excellent and beautiful! They captured our vision with several detailed emails, they final delivered want we visioned and it was exactly how we wanted our arrangements to be! The cake was designed just like how we wanted it! They decorated the cake so beautiful with fresh white roses, orhids and small whimsical branches absolutely stunning to correlate with our centerpieces. My boquet was so beautiful with cascading white orchids and so thoughtfully arranged. Such beautiful talent but it just took emails and a few appointments to get what we wanted for our wedding!

Despite being given a bad review from a friend who recently used Flowers by Brian, I made an appointment. Upon my arrival to my 8pm appointment I was told that they didn't have me on schedule and that they had just taken an appointment. I offered to wait if they would still honor my appointment despite the fact that it was their mistake and was quickly told that they close at 9pm and could not accommodate me. For someone who works two jobs, having to take off from work and drive to Long Island to then be brushed off leaves a bad taste. I guess my friend was right. read more

We didn't get passed a consultation. Went to an Irish wedding done by fbb a couple months back. We walked in with a figure set in our minds , because a coworker of mines told me she had gotten a reasonable price ($1900) for about 6 bouquets( plus hers) boutonnières, cake flowers,10 centerpieces(3 cylinders with orchids and floating candles) , corsages and flowers sent to her home -that wasn't my case with this place. We sat and waited to be seen by some guy (I don't remember his name, I think it started with a T) . He proceeded to ask our budget. I told him I didn't want to spend too much. He looked at me snooty and said "well you sure are honest" . we took offense to his condescending tone.. I looked at him like ,"what ever that means... " anyway he quoted us some astronomical price (basically) $4000- keep in mind , we basically requested a similar set up to what my coworker had. After mentioning what was done for my coworker he simply replied "I'm sorry I wish I could help you" with the same condescending tone and an added smirk on his face. Didn't see a show room at all and he basically trashed our information. .. proceed with caution.. hopefully this helps someone The whole ordeal was unfortunate , we really wanted to work with fbb read more

We used Flowers By Brian for our May wedding and he was one of the best vendors we chose! I didn't feel pressured to sign a contract after my first meeting which was a huge sell.

Flowers by Brian had a hand in making our wedding the headache that it became. We were promised, time and time again, a particular look and flower arrangement. By the time the day had arrived, nothing we had ordered made it, the set up staff was unhelpful, and they did nothing to work with us afterwards. Now a day immortalized in photos can be remembered by lack luster and over priced center pieces, and a barren wedding cake. read more

This review is based on my initial consultation with Joseph. We did not go with their services. Upon entering the showroom they were very polite and on time. Joseph mainly focused on what I wanted and shared my vision. However as excited as I was that he understood exactly what I wanted, it was crazy expensive for a seemingly basic package (bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaid bouquets, groom boutonniere, 5 groomsman boutonnieres, parents flowers and 18 centerpieces)! They didn't really offered to work with our budget, and we were quickly ushered out once I said "this is a bit over what we are willing to spend". I found other event florists offering more for less and worked with our budget. If you have a large budget to work with, check them out since they are the house florist for many event halls in long island. Joseph did seem to know our venue like the back of his hand. I also find it funny when speaking about the design he totally ignored my fiance and focused on me. But when it came time to discuss the cost he focused on my fiance. Lols read more

Virgil and the entire team at Flowers by Brian did an absolutely incredible job for my wedding! Virgil is extremely talented and really a dream to work with. He was patient with us from the initial meeting and went over everything we wanted in great detail. As time went on we made some changes and included some add-ons which he handled with ease. Day of everything went smoothly and the floral arrangements looked better than even we anticipated. The flowers were all fresh and in pristine condition from my bouquets to the centerpieces and more. We received so many compliments on the floral arrangements. We took many of the flowers home and even a week later most are still going strong. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out. I highly highly recommend them for all your floral needs! read more

I'll be quite honest, I was scared. When you plan something and all a person can do is go off what you have spoken about, it makes you feel uneasy. When I walked into the room at the Bridgeview Yacht Club my breath was instantly taken away and I literally had no words. I have been to Bridgeview plenty of times and I have never seen their ballroom look the way it did on the day of my wedding. Countless guests also said the same thing. We were taken care of by Virgil who was an absolute pleasure to work with. When we first met I sensed instantly that he understood my vision, and even though I was afraid, he was not only able to make it happen but he exceeded it in any and every way. Our guests commented at how wonderful and gorgeous our wedding was and that was largely in part to what Virgil and his team did that day! My husband and I are beyond grateful and will have beautiful memories for the rest of our lives. Thank read more

Flowers by Brian really pulled it off. I know I'm not the easiest to deal with, but I knew what I wanted and I made it clear to them that. I dealt with Joe the entire time through and Greg who was there at the end to set everything up. I know Daniele there as well who is great and assisted a bit to ensure I was getting what I wanted! My chuppah came out out amazing and all my guests couldn't stop talking about it! I drove joe crazy with colors as I only wanted white and ivory. He made everything perfect. Greg was running around getting everything done and making sure it was exactly like I wanted it. I was a bit worried in the beginning but he did everything he promised and flowers by Brian for sure deserves my 5stars!!! read more

My husband and I were helped from Alessi from beginning to end. I wasn't too crazy about how I wanted my flowers, so I just gave him a general idea of what I wanted, along with some pictures of the colors I was looking for. When I met him for the 3 month mark to see my table centers, I was blown away!! They were absolutely gorgeous and I became obsessed with them. Then when I went to go see all of my arrangements the day before my wedding, I couldn't believe how beautiful they all were! It actually made me care about the flowers even more because they were all so beautiful. His prices were so fair and affordable! He also arranged our flowers for our cake and they were amazing!!! We got soooooooo many compliments from our guests and even the Fox Hollow staff about how amazing these flower arrangements were. I would def recommend them!!! 10 stars!!! read more

I had the most wonderful experience with Virgil and the FBB crew from my initial consultation to drop off on my wedding day. My flowers were beyond expectation and absolutely beautiful! I'm still getting compliments! Virgil was able to take my vision of a classic Christmas wedding and turn it into reality. I met with a few different florists before I booked with FBB who told me they needed a deposit right then and there, otherwise they couldn't help me. Mind you, I met with them a year and a half before my wedding. I had 2 meetings with Virgil prior to signing my contract and felt no pressure whatsoever. I was able to come back with a deposit confident that I was in good hands. I think flowers are such a huge part in making or breaking a wedding and I'm so happy that I ended up where I did. Thank you for everything guys!! read more

My family worked with Joseph Campbell for my sister's wedding and could not be happier with the result. Joseph was responsible for the decor for the venue entrance, hallway, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, and every room just kept getting better and better as you moved through the space. The bouquets and boutonnieres were gorgeous. The space looked like a work of art, and countless people told us afterwards how much they loved the flowers. An added plus is that Joseph is so nice and easy to talk to. Highly recommend!! read more

I wanted to give FBB a 5 star rating. I found FBB at a wedding showcase that my fiance and I attended at Jericho Terrace and decided to go with this flower vendor based on their table decor. In my opinion it was the best flower table at the venue. And being that it was a preferred vendor for my venue I wanted to choose someone that was already familiar with the venue we were having our wedding. We worked with Fabiola for over a year. I enjoyed working with her because she kept it realistic, and also listened to all of the ideas I had. She gave her opinion and we listened to her because of her experience with flowers and our venue. I was able to have two showings before the wedding. The first one I wasn't "wow'd" and Fabiola made sure to say, "If you don't like it... we will have you come in until you do." I loved that she said that! The second showing was perfect. It was everything that I requested, and gorgeous centerpieces. I went with HIGH and LOW centerpieces. My bridal party bouquets, boutonnieres, and my wedding bouquet were flawless! I would definitely refer anyone to this florist. Happy planning! read more
