Tacky and not tasteful florals. Book your wedding flowers elsewhere. Literally anywhere else!

We can not thank Adam enough for his gorgeous flower arrangements! He was so easy to work with, and really takes a vision and runs with it. We stepped into the ballroom and there were stars in our eyes. Adam transformed it with the most beautiful centerpieces! The flowers were stunning and the candles everywhere made the room sparkle! read more

Adam and his team are beyond talented and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process!! Obviously, the makeup, the dress, the photographer, the band are all important... but the flowers make the wedding and transform the room. Adam absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! Our jaws dropped when we saw the chuppah (I still can't stop looking at pictures of it!!!) and the reception room! Our friends and family can't stop talking about the flowers either. I don't know if we can ever express how much we absolutely loved what Adam and his team did. We plan to recommend him to everyone we know that's looking for a florist... he is hands down, the absolute best!! read more

I would give Adam 25 stars if I could. We used him for younger daughter's wedding 10 years ago and just used him now; it was a small covid style wedding but my daughter had a very specific vision of a garden party with colorful flowers and he hit it out of the park with the chuppa, the table flowers, the grassy faux runner and the bouquet, which was perfect for a princess or queen! We love working with him--he's EASY, he gets what the clients want, stays in the budget and fulfills all the expectations. Don't look elsewhere, save yourself time and go to him. And oh, the runners were great and plates we used perfect...blues and greens for accent and unity! Thank you Adam from the bottom of our overflowing hearts. Barbara and family. read more

I worked with Adam Leffel of Petals Premier for my wedding. His work was absolutely amazing - people are still talking about it three years later. Adam and his team worked tirelessly to help my husband and me achieve the perfect floral setting that met our budget. We never felt like we couldn't tell him what we did or didn't want no matter how times we may have changed our minds! We received the utmost professionalism and courtesy from Petals Premier. We were confident with their work and so pleased by their dedication to our day. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for floral arrangement or design for their special day. read more

Ok, so what do I really care about flowers for the wedding? Well I didn't until the day but man did they do a great job. We got married at the Park Savoy, which doesn't need too much help looking good but Adam really took it up to the next level. Flowers everywhere, absolutely everywhere. Even being a novice in this terrain you can tell poor quality flowers.... conversely you can tell high quality flowers. Adam delivered all high quality stuff in a very tasteful way. I was really happy with how the flowers turned out. I was told the flowers looked like they were from a TV wedding. Also, I hear Adam deals with bridezillas well.... (I think the wife emailed him on a daily basis) you can thank me later. read more

I don't even know where to start. Our wedding was June 28th and we saw Petals Premier at the bridal show for the first time at the Florentine Gardens. Adam who is the owner and might I say an amazing personality by far a really nice guy by first approach and had a personality that I felt like I knew for a long time. We had a year and a Half to plan. Me and my Fiancé(then) went to a couple florists and called around, when we walked into Adams place him and workers were so ORGANIZED and WELCOMING. Right off the start we had told him a budget that we had to work with and the first response he said was "Done, I don't want you to worry about a thing, I will take care of everything." That felt really comforting and we left EVERYTHING up to him. Every e-mail was responded within a couple hours and all we had to do was send him pictures of the bouquets or Centerpieces we wanted and he took care of the rest. His Demo table 6 months before the wedding was exactly what we wanted. The flowers during the wedding were absolutely PERFECT. Not 1 wilted flower. I CANNOT thank him enough!!! He had our Cake looking beautiful our Church looking amazing for the Pictures, and Our reception center pieces were soooooo glamorous and "memory table" was so elegant and brought tears to our eyes. read more

Wedding 10/19/2019- at The W in Hoboken NJ. Adam gets good marks for initial meetings and planning although I should have taken it as a warning sign when he ruined a surprise I was planning for my daughter when he told her about it at our first meeting. This is after I explicitly expressed not to mention it in an email to him. I guess he didn't prepare for the meeting. I chalked it up to everyone makes mistakes and didn't make a big deal, but was very disappointed. Although I was not happy with the overall quality of the bouquets they were still pretty but the tree centerpieces were supposed to be covered in orchids and they were not. They were very sparse. The real problem occurred when the pin spotlighting that his team had installed in the ballroom, fell onto a table, almost hitting a guest and hitting the gift table and cake. He took no responsibility for this and "didn't appreciate being told they didn't set up right" and insisted it was the fault of our guests who bumped into it. He even quoted the LIABILITY clause of his contract stating he "would not be held responsible..". But, why would you install it so close to a guest table? He also blamed me for not knowing the floating candles i paid for, were not allowed in the ladies room. He said I should have known that, not him and i "knew the lighting was dim" when i complained you could barely see the selfie sign. Maybe that's true, but isn't that the expertise i paid him for? If there was a better way, why wouldn't he recommend it? Finally, when i emailed him to see if he would be on site, he replied "yes, I should be..." which was not true. He never intended to be there. He was at a larger event which he posted on IG. Why not just be honest ? I guess my $13k floral budget was not enough to warrant it. I know I'm one of the few negative reviews but i felt it was important to share my experience. read more

Adam and his team are absolutely amazing! From day one when we first sat down with Adam, he was able to see our vision and knew exactly what we wanted. We went in for our sample appointment and LOVED what he had for us, but also loved a second centerpiece that was out, and Adam had no problem suggesting that we do half of one centerpiece and half of the other on each of the tables. Within the last 2 months prior to our wedding, I was emailing Adam almost weekly asking if there were additional things he could do, adding certain things, etc. Adam was extremely responsive (typically within a few hours of my email), and was more than willing to do everything we requested. We ended up adding a flower wall, charger plates, a welcome sign, and baskets wrapped in greenery for our ceremony programs. Adam did a BEAUTIFUL job with all of that. We had confirmed everything with Adam the week before the wedding and I knew I wouldn't have to worry again and boy was I right! The bouquets arrived at my hotel room promptly at our agreed upon time and they were GORGEOUS! My mom and girls could NOT stop raving about them!! The boutinerres for the men were beautiful too!! Adam set up our ceremony inside due to rain and from what I remember it was absolutely perfect! My husband and I were also given a sneak peak of the reception area after the ceremony and my jaw dropped. The centerpieces, cake table, and all of our add ons were PERFECT! It brought even more tears to my eyes just by how breathtaking everything was! Throughout the night people kept commenting on how gorgeous the flowers were and were so impressed with the attention to detail. Almost a week later and we are still getting compliments on our decor! I can't recommend Adam and his team highly enough. Their work is beautiful and Adam is incredibly easy to work with and will without a doubt bring your vision to life! A HUGE thank you to Adam and his team for everything!!! read more

It was a true pleasure working with Adam Leffel and his entire staff at Adam Leffel Productions/Petals Premier on our son's Bar Mitzvah. He was low pressure, offered great suggestions and had an array of options to chose from. He was also mindful of our budget. The flowers were breathtakingly beautiful and he suggested flowers on every other table and we did lampshades on the other tables. The bottom of the lampshades had a very sculptural flower arrangement as well. He also placed a band around the lampshade with our son's monogram on it. Adam also helped us select the colors for the table linens as well as the lighting from the venue. Petals Premier is a recommended vendor at our venue and he knew every nuance and rule of the venue. For the kid's side of the room, Adam provided fabulous lounge furniture, a light up table with a table top design of a logo and the pièce de résistance were the two dance cages he did in the back corners of the dance floor. They were a big hit! He also had custom pillows made with magazine covers on them and 2 very large posters on canvas with our son's theme and 2 large table top double-sided mounted posters also with his theme. We were able to take home all of the art work and pillows. Our daughter is being Bat Mitzvahed in 4 years and we can't wait to work with Adam again. His whole team did a first class job. We recommend him without reservation, he will not disappoint and you will be thrilled! Ask him to show you pictures of his work, it's spectacular! read more

Adam is fantastic. He is creative, easy to work with, and calming all at the same time. Each meeting with Adam was informative and beneficial. He asked all the right questions and was prepared for everything. For example, if you want an outdoor ceremony, even if there is a 0% chance on your wedding day, Adam will have an arch and preparations for an indoor ceremony. My bouquet was gorgeous. He also took care to wrap my grandmother's lace wedding gloves around them with perfect pearl accents. I was worried that my husband and his friends would ruin the boutonnieres easily, so he recommended the perfect flower that would last. I didn't really even have to worry, because all of the flowers lasted and looked beautiful the entire night. Our hot-air balloon card holders were spectacular. Adam hung them beautifully with hydrangea poufs for clouds. We received many positive compliments on the hot-air balloons and centerpieces alike. Petals Premier and Adam will make your wedding beautiful and totally you. read more

My wife and recently had our wedding at Florentine Gardens. Petals Premier was one of several suggested vendors from Florentine Gardens and we chose them over competing vendors for several reasons: 1) Adam Leffel of Petals Premier was really nice to work with; he is very professional and very personable. MOST IMPORTANTLY: ADAM UNDERSTOOD OUR BUDGET AND STUCK TO IT and he did a great job outlining our options for arrangements, bouquets, etc. We especially liked that he was willing to let our flowers do 'double duty' (ie. the flower arrangements used during the outdoor ceremony were brought inside during the cocktail hour and were used as our table decorations) 2) PETALS PREMIER PROVIDES THE FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS IN THE LOBBY OF FLORENTINE GARDENS and Adam noted that he would match the lobby flowers to our ceremony/table arrangements free of charge!! He pulled through and everything looked amazing! 3) Since we were planning an outdoor ceremony in the gazebo at Florentine Gardens we didn't need a chuppah. Adam was very accommodating and noted that he would bring the components to build a chuppah inside if the weather was bad (and we would be charged accordingly if we needed the service), but if we were outside there would be no extra charge. Fortunately the weather was perfect and we didn't need the service. Finally, our wedding was postponed by a day due to Hurricane Irene. Adam and staff at Petals Premier were VERY understanding of this and were very accommodating by coming on Monday morning for set up. They pulled through with AMAZING FLOWERS and PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. read more

Adam and Patti did a gorgeous job on the flowers for my wedding day. They were beautiful--tall, lush and full. They were without a doubt the most beautiful flowers that I have ever seen in person. I was blown away. I took off one star because leading up to the wedding, we had a few miscommunications. For example, we scheduled an appointment where we thought we would be meeting with Adam but ended up meeting with Patti. And there were a few occasions where we felt like we were being encouraged to augment our budget. But these were very minor issues and because of the amazing job they did on the wedding day, I would not hesitate to recommend this business to any bride. Thanks, Adam and Patti! read more

We are entirely glad we made the right decision to go with Adam Leffel / Petals Premier as the florist of choice for our wedding! His creative vision and dedicated talented team helped make our dream wedding come true. The centerpieces he created were simply amazing! Alternating between tables with 2 different types of designs he took our already beautiful venue and put it over the top. Individual flowers for the wedding party and bridal bouquet were simply beautiful. The quality of flowers Adam provided are the freshest I've have ever seen. My family took home some of the flowers and they remained alive for almost 2 weeks. In addition to flowers, Adam and his creative design team provided a custom step and repeat background for our open air photo booth. Everyone of our guests loved it! Gave it more of 'red carpet' atmosphere. It was simply put, awesome! Highly recommend Adam and his team! Put your trust in him and let Petals Premier create your dream wedding! read more

We had Petals Premier provide flower services for our wedding in May 2013 at Pleasantdale Chateau. Adam Leffel, the Owner and Creative Director, was a pleasure to work with. He was personable and thorough, and his communication was prompt from the moment we reserved his services. On the day of the event, his team arrived on time and did a fantastic job with the setup. The flowers were large, full and beautiful, providing a wonderful complement to the venue's decor. Since we reside in California, all arrangements were done from a distance, so we weren't able to see an actual sample of the flowers. The colors were a bit off from what was expected, but Adam was very professional and provided a very reasonable partial refund. We were impressed with the level of service and the professional way in which he handled his clients. We highly recommend his team of professionals if you are looking to have your flowers for your wedding or other special event. read more

Adam and team made the already impeccably beautiful Florentine Gardens, even more luxurious and beautiful! They took our vision and brought it to life with few pictures and detail on our end. Would recommend over and over! read more

Petals Premier did our wedding at Florentine Gardens. We chose to go with lots of colors for the fall. When the flowers arrived the morning of the wedding I could not have been happier with the results. All of the bouquets were even more beautiful than I envisioned, and so were the centerpieces at the reception. Overall good experience working with Adam and his staff. One complaint - sometimes they were a little difficult to get in touch with during the planning process. read more

ZERO STARS if possible! Our flowers arrived 3.5 hours AFTER we had agreed upon. They were completely unreachable. The wedding coordinator and my father were calling local florists because it was SO late! AVOID THIS FLORIST! read more

My daughter was married on July 4th at the Florentine gardens. Everything that day was perfect except for the flowers. Adam is very good at saying yes and then he does exactly what he wants. We discussed with him numerous times exactly what we wanted, sent him many photos but still received something different that day. We had 12 girls in the bridal party and my daughter said she wanted whimsical, abstract wildflower bouquets. NOT ROUND!! We got round with mostly roses, and when I called him the day of and also left an email he never returned our call or replied to our e-mail. Still haven't been contacted by him. That was just the icing on the cake. He had an attitude everytime we talked or emailed with him. We booked him 3 years ago and the wedding was cancelled 6 months before and he kept our 3000.00 deposit (even though he never used or ordered any flowers) and when we used him again (same couple) he only gave us a 1500.00 credit towards a 12,500.00 job. He also wanted to be paid in cash in full the day before. When my daughters dad said "how do I know you will deliver?" he made some stupid remark. We had 275 and were possibly going to have 330 (it was a holiday) so when we told him there were 24 tables instead of 28 or 30 he was like "WOW that's quite a drop well OK." Completely unprofessional and full of himself!! The reason I gave him 2 stars is because the tables arrangements were very pretty but it was alot of work and attitude making that happen. We also had to ask his people to move the trees he made from blocking the entire ceremony, something we also discussed with him ahead of time. Then when I asked his designer who was setting up at the venue why our flowers were round her answer was because they would look messy if they weren't. We wanted messy! Why would he say yes and then do what he wants?? Would never ever recommend this company!! read more

What a disappointment! Promised everything, but delivered nothing. Butonierres looked like clown flowers, gazebo decorated with bouquets, stems and all, goes through the motions of doing a trial sample of centerpieces, then does the same old design for every wedding the same, shows up late and delays ceremony in order to decorate last minute, and finally sends Patti, who could totally care less, has an attitude, and is no where to be found to address issues. Look elsewhere! read more

The flowers for my wedding were absolutely stunning! Adam did such a fantastic job bringing even more beauty to my wedding day. My bridesmaids, groomsmen, husband, and I all had beautiful flowers. When my husband and I walked into our reception we were so astounded by the magnificent job Adam and his team did to execute my vision of a romantic summer wedding. I could go on and on about the wonderful service and attention to detail that was paid for our wedding. Thank you Adam! read more

Petals Premier and Adam Leffel really disappointed me on my wedding day. My parents wanted to do everything they could for me, and forked over an extra 400 DOLLARS to have lush stripes of rose petals lining the aisle as I walked down. Sure enough, on the day of the wedding, they weren't there. It was SO disappointing. My mother called Adam the next day to let him know, and he never returned her phone call. I emailed him twice, and never got a return phone call. When my mother called him again, his excuse was that his crew was up until 2 am the night before at another wedding. No apology, and no offer to refund their money. Messing up my wedding was one thing, but not returning money he took for something but didn't deliver AND not apologizing takes Adam's behavior to a whole different level of dishonest business practice. Since Adam requires all payments to be made prior to the wedding, our only recourse now is to sue him. If you do go with Petals Premier, I highly suggest not paying everything upfront so that he has some reason to deliver as promised. read more

This was the WORST vendor we had hired for our wedding. Biggest headache and mistake. Both Adam and Patti lied to us to no end with verbal agreements that they had made beyond our written contract. When it came down to our wedding day, they did not show up as promised and nothing we had was taken care of. They charged us for more centerpieces than we had received and refuted to reimburse us our money back. Beyond that, the flowers were wilted the time we walked into our ballroom, and my bride bouquet was brown within a few hours of delivery. On top of that the entry table we planned out was not set up as we had discussed, even after wasting our time 2 hours to long island to do a walk through upon their request. Then to boot on top of all of this we tried writing our bad reviews on wedding websites like wedding wire and adam disputed my bad review so his company did not look bad or have any negative reviews on his page (as you can see only 5 star reviews on that webpage). Through all of the ways this company screwed us over on our most important day of our lives, they did not have any remorse nor apologize. ABSOLUTE disgrace. I would most definitely NEVER recommend this company to anyone. Please BEWARE! read more

We used Petals Premier for our wedding on June 1 at Tribeca Rooftop in New York City and I wholeheartedly recommend using them! We had about 225 guests on a Saturday night. Adam and his team were beyond fantastic. Our guests were just blown away by the quality of the flowers as well as the creativity and beauty of the arrangements. From our first meeting with Adam at Petals Premier, I knew he was someone who just "got" it. He knew exactly what we envisioned and had just flawless taste. Most importantly, he is honest, reliable, responsive and will actually stick within your budget (whatever that may be). For those of you ladies planning a wedding, it is refreshing to know that your florist (or any vendor) will get back to you when you contact them. Adam will reply to your email right away. He is beyond responsive and organized so no need to worry about anything slipping through the cracks. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and his team. I went to a few highly recommended florists in New York City and decided to go with Adam for several reasons -- He is a business man with an eye for detail and good taste. He is sharp and will make your wedding even more perfect than you could ever imagine...believe me. read more

Adam and his team hit it out of the park! Its evident that Adam is a successful florist/even planner by his growing business that recently expanded to NYC, but working with him feels like you are working with a close friend not a corporation or stuffy business. Adam is professional, knowledgeable, creative and friendly. He worked with our budget to create 16 tall center pieces and several personal items for the day of the wedding (i.e. bouquets, flower crown etc). Adam and his team even did a center piece trial for us a few months before the wedding where he did a full set up, complete with candles and lighting so we could see exactly how the table would like the day of the wedding. And, on the day of the wedding it looked EXACTLY as expected. Even though it may sound silly, my husband and I were so impressed that Adam personally delivered items to the locations where we were both getting ready (which were an hour away from one another!). Its those little personal touches that go far. Like I said before, working with Adam feels like you are working with a friend - a friend who is very talented! read more

Adam Leffel was a great disappointment. On the day of the wedding, he was nowhere to be found, did not return phone calls, and after repeated emails sent over an abusive designer who had no idea what he had promised. She threatened to ruin my wedding, The flowers were brown around the edges,and not what we had discussed, but his abusive, and dismissive attitude was worse than anything. When you meet him he is charming, but after he gets paid, he behaves as if he does not have to live up to the terms of his agreement. I had to laugh when I read the other review that the flowers were not huge or overdone. That would have been an understatement at my wedding. The centerpieces were miniscule. It looked ridiculous. This was my experience. Do you want to risk this on your special day? I was sorry I didn't read more reviews on other sites because I was not the only one with this experience. read more
