The personal flowers, bouquets, and boutonnieres were all absolutely perfect--and days later, they still looked fresh and beautiful! When I walked into our reception space, the florals literally took my breath away. The arrangements were stunning, elevated, and exactly the lavender wedding dream I had envisioned (but a million times better). So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous everything looked, and I'll be recommending Monarch to everyone I know who's planning a wedding or event. The team was such a pleasure to work with--professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond. They made my dream day so special, and I couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for florals that will wow you and your guests, Monarch is the florist to hire!

The empty tomb was my favorite part. The trail (with the statues) is free to the public and accessible. You may walk, pray, and take photos. The gift shop is huge and the cashier was nice.

The July premiere was horrible...the layout they had was horrendous. The lines were wrapped in front of the ornaments and no one could hardly even shop. Today was a little better, mainly because there was only about 1/4 the people there. However, I waited in line for 25 mins only to learn that 2 of my items "couldn't be found". Seriously, did they not order them? They said they would call me when they found them. I don't live very close to the store so why should I need to come back? Because they "couldn't find them", I ask them to mail them to me. The lady at the register went and talked to Karen (I assume was the manager) and she came back and told me I'd be better off ordering them online. W O W! #1 - great customer service and #2 - I don't think so! When the lady rang up my order, she did something to the order and it whipped out the order. Karen couldn't figure out what happened so they finally rang it up again. Once I was in the car, I looked at the receipt and saw that they didn't honor my coupons. I ended up having to go back in and request my money. No one knew how to tell the lady to credit my money so she gave me the cash...no taxes so I still ended up getting ripped off. I know it's only the tax amount but if they did it to me, they'd do it to someone else...it all adds up! That's okay, I went to Hohman's on 45th and not only was I able to get what the Apple "could t find", I was able to find more unique gift items and other ornaments. Almost $500 later, I'm thrilled I went to Hohman's. They have 3 times the selection and so many friendly people to help. It was the first and LAST time I will give Little Green Apply my wish list and it's the LAST time I will give them my business.

I have gone to this store 3 times in the past few days. I went for a Hallmark ornament that they…read morewere the only store that had it in stock. There was a well dressed woman sitting on the floor opening many boxes of ornaments, taking them out and tearing the tissue. She then set the ruined box back on the shelf. Yes, an employee saw her and said nothing. OK.......the second time was ok, not special. Needed a card and I was passing so, what the heck....Yesterday was the LAST time. My daughter and I went in and bought cards and gift cards. We were at separate registers. After lengthy discussion with each other the clerks decided it was OK to try to run our credit cards as their system had been acting up. OK.....well, VERY long story shorter.... they ended up running the gift cards which could not be accepted because their credit card system was down. They knew this before even trying to do the sales. One was the manager!!! Why...oh why......would you run our cards if you knew it wouldn't work????? We now have a total of $150 tied up because these women didn't do the responsible thing and tell us " NO. I'm sorry our system is down and not taking gift cards." That wasn't hard for me to say. Of course, the manager did say to stop taking cards after spending about 20 minutes getting us taken care of. It took you mere seconds to take my money (Yes, I checked while still at the register) but I still don't have my refund. Oh, yes, I was told that was instantaneous, too. Um, no, it's really not. I am not rich. I do not have money like that to throw around or to hold for several days because of your errors. If you want to let a woman sit on the floor and ransack your ornaments, that's your business. Taking my money is my business and it is not appreciated AT ALL!!! I will NOT be back nor will my family. INCREDIBLY bad service.
