We couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience after booking Raven Rose for our wedding…read moreflowers! We originally came across Raven Rose in looking for florists that had worked at our venue and were super impressed with their portfolio of previous work. To our incredible luck, not only was Courtney S. at Raven Rose incredibly familiar with our venue, but her beautiful shop was literally located across the street from the venue, which made it super easy to check in during the various stages of planning. During our consult, Courtney listened carefully to what our vision was, and despite the fact that I hadn't been able to find pictures that perfectly matched our wedding vision/colors, she magically knew exactly what we were looking for, and made amazing suggestions. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of her business really shone during our consult, and she was very kind about gently leading us away from flowers that wouldn't be in season or within our budget, as well as steering us away from trendier arrangements/colors that wouldn't have fit the more timeless look that we were aiming for. After our initial meeting, Courtney quickly pulled together a beautiful proposal (with gorgeous pictures and detailed floral suggestions) that blew us away, and we didn't even consider any other florists for our big day. During the entire process, she was such a personable, kind soul, and very responsive to any questions or concerns (and even gave us some great local recommendations for vendors and things to do for our visiting guests). Additionally, she was incredibly reasonable about working within our price range (and making a few last minute adjustments) and we felt completely confident leaving such a big part of our day in her capable hands. On our wedding day, she exceeded our expectations by hand-delivering the flowers of my dreams - elegant, modern and romantic and in the perfect color palette/aesthetic for an early Spring wedding in an industrial venue. I was absolutely blown away by her stunning work and truly couldn't have imagined a more perfect bouquet to have in hand as I walked down the aisle. Every piece (from simple floral crowns for our young flower girls to the bridesmaid bouquets to the arrangements throughout the reception) was absolutely stunning, and more than one guest said that the flowers were the most beautiful wedding arrangements that they'd ever seen (and I completely agree, even if I'm a wee bit biased). We can't thank Courtney and Raven Rose enough for the magic they worked at our wedding, and highly recommend them if you need a florist in the Hudson Valley (or beyond)! If you aren't in the market for floral arrangements, but find yourself in Beacon, NY, definitely check out their lovely brick and mortar store, which has beautifully curated flowers and gifts, too.

We had been talking about getting engaged and what kind of ring I would want. When we stopped by to meet Lauren and Todd, I knew immediately that we had to work with them! Lauren helped me design my dream ring, and we also worked with her to design our wedding bands. I couldn't have dreamed up a more beautiful result. Lauren ran with my (very little) direction and helped me create something that felt so ME. We're so grateful for finding King + Curated and can't recommend them enough!

I am not a member of the wire service, so I searched the zip and found Batt's. As much as I love my client, she asked me on a Wednesday before Mother's Day to send flowers for a birthday on Saturday (amidst what may have been the busiest Mother's Day in history). I was worried I'd find anyone who could accommodate such a request with such short notice during the busiest time of the year. Batt's was the first I called (because of their stellar reviews) and thank God I did! They were extremely helpful and got everything taken care of, and made my client (and myself!) a wonderful bouquet. From one member of the crazy business to another, thank you for taking care of us.

Laughed it off and was on my way to set my drink outside to enjoy browsing the rest of the store when the shopkeeper made a slick rude remark about it being a "good job" that I could read?? A simple "can you set that outside please?" Does the job. I get y'all having policies but after careful review it seems like you're just comfortable being rude cuz it's your establishment.
