Stefan's Flower

I recently got married and Stefan's was my florist. They did a fantastic job with everything! They are priced very fairly and were able to give me everything I asked for. They created an arch from what I told them I wanted and it came out amazing! I highly recommend them.

Assuming this is for Stefan's Event Decor/Stefan's Flowers (the name appears to be different in different places) I would never work with this florist again. Arlene was pushy, rude, perpetually on vacation, and showed me a really unprofessional centerpiece. A friend dubbed it a "hydrangea soccer ball with roses poked into it"--which is actually a very good description. Thoroughly fed up with Arlene, I then switched to Josh, who ultimately did a decent job, but was also a pain to work with. He talked over me on the phone, didn't read my emails and told me he didn't read them, and even called me up a few days before the wedding to say that his staff "expected a gratuity of $100 per person." No other vendor was so unprofessional. This is one of the three florists that works at the Boathouse in Central Park. I have already recommended that they find a new third, since Stefan's is the most affordable of the three and probably stays afloat for that reason alone. If you're using that venue, use any of the other florists or see if you can get the Boathouse to let you use a totally differene one.

They do AMAZING work. My flowers were everything I wanted and more. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. I had a very open mind going in and a general idea and Josh really helped create the vision for me. You may have a different experience if you want something very specific, but I loved every part of their work and the huppah was absolutely beautiful.

My husband and I booked with Arlene of Fleurs de Florissima and she was wonderful! She asked me a few questions and made a few suggestions and she was absolutely correct in everything. I LOVED my flowers and centerpieces. I could not ask for more. If you want high quality flowers book with Arlene, you will not be disappointed!!!

We could not have been more disappointed with Arlene. The product itself was nice. My bouquet was nice and our flowers were fine. She worked within a very tight budget. However, she is the most unprofessional person I encountered during this process. She did not return our calls in a timely matter, was not flexible in times to meet (we are in NYC and she is only in teh city once a week) and most importantly was downright rude on the phone to both me and my husband. We only used her because she was a lot cheaper than the other two options our site allows. She should not be in a client facing role.

Working with Josh was such a pleasure. On the day of the wedding, I cried when i first saw the centerpieces in the hall -- everything was absolutely perfect. The bouquets for my girls and I were absolutely stunning and incorporated all of the elements that i wanted, and a few extra ones that only made everything look that much more beautiful. Their use of color and texture made everything look both natural and elegant, all at the same time. I couldn't have asked for better :)

We originally booked Fleurs de Florissima, which merged with Stefan's. The flowers were absolutely beautiful! They gave me exactly what I wanted and then some. I expected a lot because flowers were very important to me and they exceeded my expectations. Guests were blown away, especially by our centerpieces. The flowers were abundant, vibrant, and fresh. They really helped make my wedding day beautiful!

Although this is supposed to be one of the best florists on Long Island, I was very unhappy with the turnout. We got very excited at first because we got a really great price, and everything seemed wonderful, but the day of the wedding it turned out that the florist forgot half of the flowers for the gazebo (Ceremony) and all together didnt put the flowers on my cake. It could have been that because of a last minute issue with rain that there was no time, and I have heard good things otherwise although Stefans is pricey. I guess you get what you pay for.

Work with Chris. He really knows his stuff.
