Very happy with how this issue was handled. Very disappointed. I bought a beautiful, colorful bouquet but what was delivered was pale and missing flowers. I understand that when certain flowers are not available, substitutions are made but in this case there was no substitution for the missing flowers except for a foil balloon (which I don't think it a proper substitution). There is no fuchsia stock, raspberry sinuata statice, or sword Fern. I recommend other florists in the area.

Dearly Beloved Floral & Gifts has you covered for any special occasion or just every day gifts. I…read morelove this spot. Tucked away in an unassuming parking lot, Dearly Beloved is a beautiful oasis of wonder. They have such a beautiful store with so much love and intentionality poured into it. If I'm in the area, I enjoy stopping by just to enjoy the beautiful space they have created here. Their bouquets and floral arrangements are stunning and impressive. I have seen them execute all styles and creative fun ideas for all types of events, all done to their exceedingly high level of excellence in quality and craftsmanship. I have purchased a bouquet and a nice large arrangement from them, but I would like to get more adventurous next time and really push their creativity such as a super cool burn bouquet I watched another customer purchase. The owner, Melanie, and her trustee right hand, Rain, are two of the sweetest folks and both are extremely talented at their craft. They're happy get to know you, learn about the why behind the flowers, and to explore all the ways to make your arrangement as special as can be. It's fun to chit chat and get creative with them. Beyond floral arrangements, they have a strong potted plant selection which beautifully decorates one of their back walls, as well as gifts and locally made goods from local brands who don't have traditional storefronts such as Meemaw's Soaps and Stuff which they carry consistently. I have purchased and enjoyed both Meemaw's Soaps as well as a nice outdoor decoration with stone frogs which became my first decoration to my yard. It definitely added some much needed whimsy to my yard lol. I'm always looking forward to my next visit to Dearly Beloved!

I must say.... I am truly surprised and extremely pleased at the level of professionalism I…read moreexperienced today with Dearly Beloved. My mother was feeling a bit blue and I wanted to send her a smile in a vase! Arrangement options were sent to me and I was able to get beautiful flowers sent to my mother. Response time was almost immediate however, due to filling multiple orders or receiving shipment... allow some grace for Melanie to respond and I guarantee that it will mist definitely be worth it. The variety of options and the willingness to making beautiful arrangements for any occasion is special. Because of the level of service I received, I plan on have flowers sent to my mother 1-2 a month. Call now, ask questions, tell Dearly Beloved the occasion or moment you're feeling and she will bring it together like a whimsical story.

I hired her to cater a brunch, even payed for extra servers to make sure the brunch runs smoothly…read more She showed up LATE, and had none of the food prepped, not even the cake.. my guests left without eating, and she refused to refund me the money, I then asked her if I can keep the groceries since I won't be getting my money back and she said NO. She said she would be donating it to a homeless shelter. Worst experience I've ever had with a catering company. I urge you not to make the same mistake I did.

I'm gonna say this straight, if you want the most unprofessional, unaccountable caterer around here…read moreis the one for you Suppose to show at 830 am for a 12pm event, which was pushed back from original time of 10 am. Did not show till 1030 to start prep. We had a party of 50 people and ordered lamb pops, pastry balls, fruit cups, and another items for apps all which should've been served at the start of event. Didn't get served till 1230 which wasn't too bad, first set of lamb pops were completely raw, Linda says "oh they were thick I'll make more" first red flag Lunch was suppose to be served at 130, she gave us a time to 145. Lunch items were Spinach Quiche, bacon quiche, tea smoked cod, shashuka, and a chicken dish. 2Pm comes and food is nowhere near ready. We appease our guests by providing our own snacks we had in our home. 3pm shows and only the quiche is ready, and our brunch was set to end at 330pm. At this point Linda tells us she needs 30-45 more minutes. We called it quits, ordered pizza and told her to stop cooking as we can't keep our guests hungry which we did. She was also suppose to make a cake which was not even started at that point. Only about 30% of our food was actually served and we told her since that happened we want back 20% of the 50% deposit. She states we made her stop cooking because she could've made all the food, by which all of our gusts would've been gone. She made excuse after excuse instead of taking proper accountability, completely ruined our farewell brunch for our friends and family who came from out of the country to come to our wedding. She refused to give us back any money for only serving us 30% of the food, would not recommend and I will personally ensure she does not ruin anyone else's event
