I love this place. It's like walking into a breath of fresh air. The arrangements are divine perfection and the home decor for purchase are one of a kind...and have you visited during Christmas times??? Oh it's magical in here especially during this time of life feeling upside down. You can't help but smile and have hope for better days. They have so many lovely things to buy. I purchased an amazing pine scented candle and I love it. I will most likely be in here every week for my does of magic, happiness, and flowers. read more

David at Jacob Maarse Florists designed the flowers for our micro-wedding and we couldn't have been happier. They created exactly the look my wife and I wanted, including a stunning chuppah. They were so easy to work and we'd use them again in a heartbeat. Can't recommend them enough if you're looking for beautiful flowers and more. read more

I received this floral arrangement as a birthday gift recently from a friend. My birthday was a week ago when I received these flowers, and wow, they are just a fresh and fragrant and stunning today as when I received them. The packaging for transport is artistic creative and handsome. The arrangement in itself was densely packed and the quality was impressive. I hadn't had this florist on my radar but will definitely call upon JMF for my future floral needs. read more

I recently ordered a floral arrangement for a funeral. The arrangement was out of proportion and messy. I expressed my dissatisfaction to JM but was ignored. They have totally lost their touch. I would not recommend doing business with them. They are overpriced and pompous. So sad to see a neighborhood business go downhill. read more

As someone who grew up shopping here and brought my own children here, what an epic disappointment. The store is cluttered and the displays are overfilled. The client interaction is zero. I wasn't greeted, I wasn't offered help, and I had to beg for an employee to assist in charging me for the items I found. The woman with the black/gray curly hair and glasses was unhelpful, unpleasant, and unprofessional. The gal with the ponytail was nice enough but not one person smiled. A very disappointing experience. All you have to sell is service, and you've clearly missed the mark. read more

Step in to you're most beguiling, alluring, and captivating fantasy come to fruition; absolutely breathtaking. Ask for Kelli, she was a pure delight with her warmth, kindness, and willingness to completely go the extra mile to make your shopping as pleasant as possible. Christmas sale is on right now and I am still scratching my head as to why and how all these most celestial divinely & most dazzling treasures can even remain available! The store itself is truly jaw dropping, which makes sense that to this day after all these years, Jacob Maarse florists remain as one of the most sought after florists in Los Angeles county; great for wedding flowers & arrangements, holiday decorations and center pieces, and many downtown and local large business buildings exhibit Jacob's ineffable trophies. See my pics with just a glimpse of their luminous & most shining radiant beauty with every turn in the store. read more

Very impressed by not only the customer service but the flowers. I walked in asking for a delivery and pick up. Our 2 law students graduated law school and wanted something special. They delivered the same day and I went back a few hours later to pick up and take to the office. They made the arrangements fresh for me. When the girls received the flowers, they loved them. When I picked the one up, the first thing I thought was "Gorgeous "! Both were the Pink Pom orchid and rose bouquet. I will say a little pricey. However you definitely get what you pay for. read more

Terrible service.... there's no flowers arrangements displayed ... more candles and furniture than flowers.....the owner is never around. He's a con artist and doesn't know anything flowers or the cost of anything....dumb as a board. He will take your money and the service is terrible. Delivers flowers late... by the time they arrive they are dead... Place needs to close down!!!!!!!! Have someone else take ownership read more

There was a time that Jacob Maarse was the best of the best of florists. But to be that you have to have incredible designs and wonderful customer service. Sadly the service of the original JM is just not what it used to be. We have been long time customers but have finally decided the errors out pace the beauty of the designs. Two days ago I called to have birthday flowers delivered to my daughter at school. This would have been the first time she ever celebrated a birthday at school (due to starting school year dates) and being back from the pandemic her first year at this high school. Getting flowers is a big deal. There a sense of pride in walking around with them. We also didn't do a celebratory gesture that morning knowing the flowers were coming. I called the day before and gave school hours ending one hour earlier then they do just to be sure. It was her sweet 16 and I wanted it to be special. I asked the lady if she was sure it could be done and she assured me with a yes. Not only did they arrive after school (by three hours) but no one even called to say they were running late so I could have run something over myself. I had to drive back to school to pick them up at the office that evening (and we don't live close to school). Just terrible customer service. The last time there was an error in our order we let it slip but this is too much. If you rely on delivery on a certain date or time I wouldn't go with them. read more

Well, I complained to Marina, the manager, about the sad state of the flower bouquet I had sent, and she offered to send another one (she credited the original order). So I had her send another bouquet and it was quite nice, but still not up to the quality that they used to produce. So probably better than ProFlowers or 1800flowers, but no longer exquisite. read more

I have been getting flower arrangements here for years but now I had my sons wedding. I worked with David Navarro. He was patient, welcoming and a listener. He did a mock up for us and we made some changes and he made our event shine! His work was perfect. I read some of the comments and if you did not work with David, you missed out. They need more people like him. He not only made us comfortable but he responds via email instantly. He was also the one who delivered and made sureeverything was to our satisfaction before leaving! All the flowers were nor just good, they were beautiful and smelled great! I recommend not just Jacob Maarse but David Navarro! I will be calling on him again for sure! read more

My son forgot to pick up his girlfriends corsage for prom, he was heart broken. It was Saturday night and the store was closed. He sent a desperate email asking Jacob Maarse for help. Not only did they answer they sent someone to open the store for him to pick up his flowers.. It's the most beautiful corsage I've ever seen. This is not only a business, it's a company that cares and will go out of their way to help and satisfy their customers. I've been a loyal customer for 8 years.. much more to come. Thank you Jacob Maarse read more

I have heard about this place. I saw it on the Profit. I finally visited Jacob Maarse. We pulled into the garage. They were having a garage sale. We walked into the showroom and my friend shared that the pathway that is usually lined with deliveries was stark and bare. We strolled through the shop. I noticed many displays were completely missing. The gift items are lovely. Very pricely. Uniquely displayed new and antique items. I wish I had visited years ago. It's amazing. But I heard in years prior when the patriarch was still alive it was unbelievable. The gent at the counter said they were remodeling when we inquired about the missing displays. I hope when we come back we see new and beautiful displays in the sad naked spaces. read more

Extensive positive reviews and an impressive store front are what led me to finally try these guys out. It was my girl's birthday so I was looking to surprise her with a big ol' bouquet. I was able to quickly do everything over the phone, securing a "loose and airy" arrangement of wildflowers for morning delivery the day of her b-day. The staff was friendly and helpful even though the Spanish accent was a little thick at times. The day of delivery I called to find out where in the queue her arrangement was. The girl I spoke to didn't know but called me back as soon as she found out (which was quick). Again, the staff was very nice. As beautiful as the flowers were they only lasted a couple of days. Most of it started dying by the second day and the entire thing was trashed before the week was out. For the money spent it should have EASILY made 7 days (friggin' flowers from Trader Joe's last at least that long). Good service, prompt delivery and a beautiful arrangement, but the quick death of the flowers will make me reconsider going back to them, read more

Jacob Maarse Florist - "Light & Airy" arrangement for my girl's birthday - Florists Near Me - Pasadena, California

My daughter, who is a nurse and lives in Texas, sent me a flower arrangement last Sunday for Mother's Day from Jacob Maarse Florists. It was gorgeous the day it was delivered, and one week later, it is even more full as all of the roses have opened - and everything still perfectly fresh. It's been a hard couple of months, missing my daughter, unable to visit her, and worrying about her safety, and these flowers lift my spirits every time I walk by. I have received other arrangements from your shop that I have loved and enjoyed over the years, but this one is so spectacular, I just had to write. Thank you so so much! read more

Jacob Maarse Florist - Mother's Day Arrangement From Jacob Maarse Florists- still beautiful on its 7th day!! - Florists Near Me - Pasadena, California

As a 35-year Jacob Maarse user - they did our wedding and all impt events - it's with a heavy heart I join the chorus of disappointed Pasadenans since Jacob's passing - and write a negative review. I've been underwhelmed in recent years - maybe since The Profit's disasterous coverage - with the in-store experience and with flowers I've rec'd from Jacob Maarse. Today I tried again as I wanted a large and $$ sympathy arrangement. I asked to speak to a designer who'd be doing the flowers as I'm specific about what I want and wanted to confirm what's in-stock. The woman who took my call said the designers were 'very busy' and to e-mail my order instead. I'm sorry, but no florist is 'very busy' during Covid. I called another florist and had a terrific experience w photos sent back and forth. I think everyone's right about Jacob Maarse going downhill. read more

My favorite florist for every occasion!!! I highly recommend this business for its floral designs, customer service and unique shopping experience. Visiting Jacob Maarse is just like strolling through a secret garden in the city. I've bought everything from birthday flowers to a corsage for my son's girlfriend, and travel all the way from the Valley just for their unique designs and world-class customer service. I recently purchased a corsage for my son's winter formal and had it designed by Maria. In addition to being a skilled florist (paying great attention to detail), Maria is very kind, extremely professional and goes out of her way to make each customer feel special. She can effortlessly create any design, even the most unique request. Every holiday I visit the boutique to purchase little treasures and always make Jacob Maarse my first stop for greeting cards and special gifts for family and friends. read more

BEST OF THE BEST!!! If you don't know of Jacob Maarse Florists in Pasadena, CA... You are missing OUT!!! First of all, I would like to thank David for creating the most stunning arrangements! He is such an visionary! Talented in every way! I work for a well known company in Los Angeles. We had an event with a popular footwear company. I CANNOT say enough wonderful things about this lovely establishment. If you are need of any style/themed floral arrangement or simply undecided of what you want; JACOB MAARSE will organize your thoughts and expectations to the 10th power! THANK YOU. You could never go wrong! read more

Consistently beautiful flowers. Frankly, I am surprised at the number of people claiming that they received less than stellar floral arrangements from Jacob Maarse. I have receive quite a few delivered bouquets from them and each one is simply gorgeous with fresh flowers and an elegant and seasonal display. The bouquet I received last Friday (delivered to Downtown LA in the middle of the crazy rainstorm) was artistically arranged, full of the freshest well selected flowers, and presented a wonderful aesthetic. I don't see why anyone would want to go anywhere else. It's a week later and roses are still blooming. read more

I placed my 2nd custom corsage order May 2012 and the finished product was PERFECT!! way better than what I had imagined. So funky & different from the plain, white, standard-looking corsages you can get at any corner flower shop & exactly what I wanted. It was SO SO beautiful I kinda wanted to keep it for myself =) I'm not sure why other people have such bad experiences here especially during prom season, But I have always had excellent customer service here (and I'm not an easy person to work with) I walk in with a very specific order in mind, and they have exceeded my expectations both times! This year, my little brother's prom date wore a royal purple dress with copper beads & detailing. When placing my order, (Brittany who was VERY nice and VERY helpful again this year) I requested purple flowers (designers choice) and also asked if they could please try to incorporate some of the copper ribbons/wire I had provided (since I wanted an EXACT color match) I also requested if it wasn't too much trouble, if they could please attach the corsage to a rhinestone corsage bracelet I picked up @ a floral supply shop for a little bit more sparkle ;) They used dark purple mini calla-lillies and several deep purple orchids and mixed in deep green fresh looking leaves around the flowers which made the color of the flowers "pop" even more. They used the copper floral wire I brought in, and very delicately wove it in between and all around the flowers and leaves. They used both of the copper ribbon choices I brought in to make a very beautiful and unique bow at the end of the corsage. They were even able to use the corsage bracelet I brought in too! It was gorgeous! I was very happy! I picked it up on a Friday afternoon and stored it in the fridge until the next afternoon (about 24 hours). When his date arrived at the party bus pick up/photo location and he finally put her corsage on, there were lots of oooh's and aahh's from all the other prom couples, parents and family members there because it was one of, if not the MOST BEAUTIFUL corsage there. Thanks again for great customer service and an absolutely beautiful corsage, I wish there was an option for MORE than 5 stars :) read more

Jacob Maarse Florist - Corsage May 2012 - Florists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I would say Jacob Maarse has the most beautiful flower arangements in South California. I work nearby and I just love stopping by just to wandering around their gaint store and admiring all the products and arangements on display. The Jacob Maarse name is snonymous with prestige and high quality products. Being a long time established local florists, Jacob Maarse has a strong customer following. The experince they have in the business of flower arrangement and artistry is uncomparable to other florists in the Pasadena area. If Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci was able to have a child, and that child grew up to be a florist- the flower arrangements created would be like the ones at Jacob Maarse. Okay that might have been a bit much but if you have bought flowers from them before you would know what I am talking about. Yes the flowers here are on the pricey side, but its so true that you get what you pay for. read more

Jacob Maarse is considered THE GOLD STANDARD among all florists! Every arrangement they make is gorgeous and eye catching! What people may not know is that they make mini arrangements every morning that are reasonably priced considering IT'S JACOB MAARSE! read more

I went with a friend to pick up her bouquets which she needed for a banquet, she loved her arrangements. They have a nice selection of gift items to choose from but the shop is on the pricey side.

Jacob Maarse Florist - OCT2014 - Florists Near Me - Pasadena, California

By far the most wonderful florist shop in all of the LA area! I'm so delighted every time I visit this shop. It's loaded with the most amazingly beautiful, creative high quality items and is fun to browse there and get a coffee at the close by cafe. I could spend the entire day at this shop! I bought the most beautiful Christmas gift there in December and when I brought it to the counter the lady at the register wrapped my gift so gloriously that I wanted to cry...she really make it even more wonderful. This shop has friendly & excellent customer service and actually it's hands down unbeatable. (Rare now days). The artistry here is phenomenal and their flower arrangements are awe inspiring. Just gorgeous! You cannot go wrong ordering flowers from this place. You will be sure to delight whoever receives them... My favorite, hands down. read more

Disappointing customer service and overpriced products. $220 for a basic decorated wreath. Should of gone to Michael's.

I grew up in the area and Jacob Maarse always provided exceptional flowers and arrangements. I used them for my wedding 25 years ago. I did not have to worry about a thing. They then and now know what is in style with class. They are experienced and know the business. I sent my mom an arrangement for Mother's Day 2023. They came in the morning of the day ordered fresh and beautiful. She said of flowers were exceptional and could not stop describing the beautiful arrangement. Thank you! read more

Jacob Maarse Florist - $25-30 bouquet - Florists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I should have read reviews before I placed my extensive order to deliver lots of flowers to my wife on our anniversary earlier this week. I would have known what to expect; poor quality and even worse customer service. Half-dead flowers that looked like they were "arranged" by the "deranged" owner. I brought the flowers back and he was worse in-person. A loud, aggressive and petulant little man that spent more time berating staff and customers than to make sure orders were sorted properly. Beware of over-priced flowers hanging on for dear life. I think that these flowers committed suicide rather than to be around the immature and nasty owner named "Hank". read more

David Navarro and his team did such an incredible job designing our florals for our wedding day at Rancho Las Lomas. David was always accesible to speak with when I needed to talk about my vision for the florals, etc. He previously did florals for my sisters wedding in 2015 and everything turned out beautiful. I fully trusted he understood my vision as he attended planning meetings with my coordinator, and vendors such as 24 Carrots, etc. His artistic ability to put together colors and textures in a floral arrangement is out of this world! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND selecting him for florals for any event!! Thank you so much David for your contribution to our day. These details will forever be so special to Fernando and I!! read more

Jacob Maarse has been a go to basically when we need great flowers. Yesterday we were walking by and saw the holiday decorations. We went in. I am really glad we did. It reminded me of the Stats which is no longer in business. Decorations were beautiful, walking around I even found a very small but elegant Hanukkah area. Ok 89.00 for a Hanukkah pillow was a bit I thought over priced. Yet when I brought it home it was so elegant, I will be going back to buy another. Otherwise prices were great and they even had a small kids areas with greg european styled stuffed toys and books. I will be back very soon. Thanks Jacob Maarse for bringing back an elegant Holiday shopping experience. FYI your staff was great. but never say to someone wearing a star of david that the napkins look like some of that Hanukkah stuff. HA HA read more

If you'd like your wedding floral dreams to materialize, look no further than Jacob Maarse. From start to finish, David, our florist and stylist was truly phenomenal. He was professional, polite, and kind throughout the entire wedding planning process. David designed our wedding day flowers (ceremony backdrop, dinner table centerpieces, guest table floral initials) and each floral arrangement turned out to be everything I imagined and more. The colors and quality of each flower -- peonies, English roses, and orchids were vibrant, fresh, and delicate. With these magnificent florals and impeccable styling, our wedding day was a fairytale come true. Thank you so much, David & Jacob Maarse! read more

Jacob Maarse, as always, puts together the most beautiful arrangements. Elegant and appropriate. It is always the right choice. Im in real estate and often need just a little something to bring to a new client. I gave Alejandra at JM a small budget of $45 and they created two different arrangements for me to choose from. Amazing customer service and spectacular skills in floral design. I could not have been happier! Its terrible that because of one stupid show, The Profit, a bunch of strangers who have never even used Jacob Maarse have slandered them and posted a bunch of bad reviews. People who have not had direct contact with a business should not be allowed to post a review based on watching a show. One of the biggest problems with this country is that people often believe everything they read and hear instead of doing the investigative work. I have used Jacob Maarse as my florist for over 20 years. Im not a rich person and they have always been priced competitively for the work they do. Would you expect Thomas Keller to charge you the same for a meal as McDonalds?? Get a clue people! read more
