    Derrick and his team are phenomenal! Can't express my gratitude enough for the gorgeous arrangement I received from Taylor & Co.. simply amazing!

    Words can't describe the work that Derrick and his team did for my daughter's wedding. The event was held on our property in Lake Geneva, so lots of planning and customization were essential. The creativity, skill, and vision that Derrick brought was out of this world. He thinks like an engineer and constructs like an artist. And the way he worked so well with Brianne (Marquette Avenue Events) and all the other vendors brought the entire event together. My daughter and our entire family had the perfect day and this was only made possible by Taylor and Co. I cannot imagine doing an event like this without him.

    Clearly, Derrick you don't understand what I wrote nor what a terrible experience I had with you. Not only are you unwilling to own up to what you did, you are outright lying about it. But that's besides the point. I am SO thankful and glad that I didn't work with you either.

    Hiring Derrick Taylor as our day-of-coordinator, decorator, and florist was easily the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Quite simply, he is a one man problem solver that has been in the wedding industry for most of his life. He has experience with sewing, baking, decorating, crafting, hair, makeup, etc etc - oh! and he is ordained. He is prepared to handle any and every situation on your big day, including things you didn't even think of. In fact, I would challenge someone to stump him. During the entire process we felt like Derrick was a lifelong friend here to make our wedding vision come true. He is warm, kind hearted, and a hard working person. Our guests were extremely impressed by his demeanor. We haven't even mentioned how AMAZING our ceremony looked. Taylor and Co. will deliver the dream wedding you always wanted, while keeping your budget in mind. Derrick goes above and beyond his duties to ensure your day runs smoothly. We were blown away at the quality of work performed by Taylor and Co. My husband and I often joke that we want to get married again just so that we have chance to work with Derrick again.

    This review is LONG overdue, and I apologize for that! We were married in June of 2018 and used Derrick for our flowers and decor. To this day, I still receive thoughtful compliments from those that attended that my wedding was the most amazing wedding they have ever been to, and in no small part was that due to Derrick's unbelievable decorating. The flowers were luxurious, full, brilliant and romantic which is exactly what I was going for. The lanterns, back drop and other items that he used to decorate were stunning. At one point during our meetings, I was trying to save some money so I wanted to cut out the back drop, but because Derrick wanted our day to be special, he said don't worry about it and threw it in (who does that)! To top it all off, Derrick had a photoshoot the day before my wedding and ended up with a ton of extra flowers that matched my decor and gave us all of the extra that he had. When you walked into my reception hall, it was like walking into a magical wonderland. I can't say thank you enough - you made the best day of my life even better. Thank you, Derrick!

    Our guests gathered around a beautiful cake table after the ceremony. Taylor & Co. Made each moment magical.

    We were married shortly after gay marriage was legalized throughout the United States. History was made. We asked Derrick Taylor & his designers to create the wedding of our dreams. Crystal chandeliers capped the room, as floral tapesty lighting on walls in subtle blue carressed the walls. The atmoshphere was set with an 8 foot wall of gorgeous white flowers was the backdrop to our union. Crystal columns with LED lighting, laser cut table clothes, white draping fabrics, ambiant lighting, white bar, clear seating, the rooms were breathtaking. Taylor & Co. Made all our dreams come true. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    It's always weird to me when businesses don't let me spend my own money with them. I tried to buy…read moresome flowers but it was only $15. I went to pay and was told it was a $25 minimum. It's just weird at this point in time. Especially with fifty other flower shops to choose from.

    If you're looking for beautiful, long-lasting flowers..this is the place for you. If you are…read morelooking for customer service..RUN elsewhere. We stopped in Thursday before Mother's Day on a large last minute decoration request for our job. It was my first time there and I've never bought flowers in bulk so it took us some time asking questions and running numbers. The first interaction that left a bad taste in my mouth was a worker barking at me to stay away from the carnation buckets that another worker had said I could choose from. "There's nothing back there for little girls" was his way of telling me, a 33 yr old WOMAN, not to pick from the carnations. I wanted to immediately leave, but knew we needed these flowers and this may be the only place we can find a large amount last minute. Then, when we finally were ready to check out, the owner (or the man behind the desk) was adamant that our client's card numbers weren't going to work because he needed 16 digits. I explained AMEX only has 15. It seems their systems are dated, so the owner had to call the card reader vendor which held things up and a line began to form. We didn't want to cause stress for anyone so we assured him multiple times he can take other guests before us so they didn't need to wait. He declined and continued to insist that it was our fault we didn't have the correct card numbers, but continued to speak with the vendor (who later confirmed that AX only has 15 numbers...). None of the other customers were complaining at all..but the WORKERS started making unnecessary and rude comments about us and how long it was taking. I was on the phone with my boss trying to figure out another option while the owner was on the phone with the vendor and things were feeling really stressful already, let alone having staff talk about us in front of the entire store. "This has turned into so much of a nightmare." "This is ridiculous." I told one of them that we had offered for others to go ahead of us in line, but he said they couldn't because the car had been loaded already. Finally, I was so stressed that I put it on my personal credit card just to get out of there. Rushed out of there with my receipt only to see they had unloaded my car- so now I had to wait for them to reload...after they were rushing us! Never in my life have I been heckled at by the employees of a business where I am spending $1000...I was shocked and felt disrespected..like they thought we didn't have the money to cover our bill, and that just because we took longer than an average transaction, we were inconveniencing them. The only reason I decided to still purchase with them is because it was last minute and right before Mother's Day and our options were slim. But to choose to return...absolutely not.
