So professional and informative. Went through every detail with me. So friendly and helpful.
A Garden Party did an amazing job and absolutely transformed our venue! We were blown away with the floral arrangements, we could not have asked for anything better. The flowers were vibrant, fresh, and matched our vision perfectly! The team was so kind and helpful throughout the process. The day of was so smooth and we could not believe how many flowers they brought! Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was! The flowers were such a highlight of our wedding and we highly recommend!
Worked with the entire team at A Garden Party - from florals, to linens, to all the smaller design elements. They did an amazing job and executed my vision of beachy and effortless yet romantic and elegant. We received so many compliments on the flowers from our guests. My bouquet was so gorgeous and the MOB, MOG, and bridesmaids bouquets were the perfect complements to it. Dawn and Mary were the best to work with in planning. Dawn came to do a walkthrough of our venue with me and my planner to really get to know the unique space. I am so happy I decided to preserve my bouquet so I can always look back at how beautiful our flowers were from A Garden Party. I cannot recommend them enough!
I loved working with the A Garden Party team. They were so organized and made everything absolutely perfect. I went in with a vision of simple beauty and elegance and they mede my vision come to life. Very easy to work with and made sure everything was set so I didn’t have to stress about anything. An absolute joy to work with.
It was amazing to work with the team at "A Garden Party." The flowers for my spring Cape May wedding were absolutely stunning as well as unique. We got so many compliments on them. Some of my favorite parts were the cherry tree blossoms as well as the sunflower boutonnieres which were a nod to my groom's Ukrainian family members. They were also professional, prompt and extremely customer service orientated. It is very clear that these ladies are passionate about what they do and would totally recommend them to anyone! :)
We interviewed two florists and there was just no comparison. From the initial interview, Dawn and Mary just got "the vision." She showed us flower choices that were just what we wanted. A Garden Party was easy to work with, worked within our budget and responded promptly to questions and the final result was truly perfect. Highly recommend!
The floral arrangements for our wedding were nothing short of breathtaking!
Dawn and Mary's creativity and attention to our vision were evident in every bouquet, centerpieces, archways, and linens. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and beautifully arranged, adding an enchanting and whimsical touch to our celebration. They went above and beyond to incorporate every detail from our chosen colors and themes, creating a truly magical atmosphere. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, even under the pressure of last minute changes due to a tropical storm. We received numerous compliments on the flowers, and we couldn't be happier with the stunning contribution they made to our special day!
The entire Garden Party team was so amazing at bringing our vision to life and beyond! We felt like we were in a fairy tale the day of our wedding, they took our ideas and really ran with them and then went the extra mile at every step of the way to elevate absolutely everything. Their flower arrangements were absolutely stunning, and we loved the linens that we were able to choose to really bring our venue to life!
We hired A Garden Party for our April 2023 wedding and SO happy that we did. They helped bring my vision to life to create a colorful wedding. We looked to A Garden Party to not only create bouquets for the bridal party, but also transform the same space for our two separate ceremonies (Hindu & Christian) to ensure each ceremony had a unique look. They also made beautiful floral garland's and created a Mandap of flowers & greenery for our Hindu ceremony. I highly recommend A Garden Party for your wedding / event - they were so easy to work with and were able to make changes / adjustments up until nearly the end. I was obsessed with the final product!
A Garden Party is insanely, unbelievably talented. As the bride, I want to say that I was the showstopper at my wedding; but it was definitely my flowers. They were so stunning and absolutely set the tone for my magical fairy garden wedding. Dawn could not have been more wonderful to work with. I couldn't find pictures of what I wanted, so while trying to find a florist, I spent a lot of time trying my best to describe what I was envisioning. I picked A Garden Party in the first place because Dawn was the only person who seemed to understand what I was saying, and she was genuinely excited. Florists are a unique vendor, because you really won't know what everything is going to look like until you get there the day of. This made me extremely nervous, especially considering I wanted a lot of color, which can be risky and looks tacky to me more often than not. Despite my concerns, Dawn always remained confident that she knew what I was looking for and she was truly such a calming presence. On the day of, boy did they deliver. Mary was there and she was lovely. The flowers were what I was imagining but somehow even better. At most weddings, couples spend a fortune on flowers that no one takes note of. I don't think there was anyone that didn't comment on my flowers. People are still talking about them months later! I couldn't be more grateful for their patience and collaboration. A Garden Party literally made my floral dreams come true!
WOW! WOW! WOW!!! A Garden Party was absolutely amazing! Worth every penny! I had a pretty clear vision in my head and they brought it all to life. The venue is what they call 'woodsy chic' and Dawn & her team complimented that so well! They make everything so easy for you as well! They show up, put it all together and then by the time we're leaving, they were there cleaning up. It was one less thing to have to think about which is greatly appreciated on your wedding day!
Amazing! I ordered my wedding flowers from their micro wedding section and they were more beautiful than I could have imaged!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding day extra special!
LOVED working with A Garden Party! They do exquisite work! Dawn and Mary are amazing. Everything for our wedding was absolutely stunning! The bouquets, flower girl wands, boutonnières! They designed florals arrangements for five different fireplaces at our venue, each one with a unique design and gorgeous detail! The entrance way arch was stunning and was highlighted with soft greenery and lighted candles and lanterns to welcome guests! The centerpieces and varying designs from the candelabras and low center pieces set the mood for our dinner perfectly! I cannot thank A Garden Party enough for making our vision come to life!
Our planner Michael Emens, from “Weddings down the Shore” recommended A Garden Party. After looking through their Instagram and website, we knew we needed to meet them! And they didn’t disappoint - after our first meeting, we walked away excited and confident, knowing that Dawn and her team at A Garden Party would bring our wedding day vision to life. We are forever grateful that everything about our wedding day was absolutely amazing, down to the littlest detail. Using local blooms and design elements that blended perfectly with the background of Willow Creek Winery, the end result was beyond amazing - people are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were. The flowers, greenery, lanterns and centerpieces were so stunning and absolutely beautiful. They even made a little boutonniere and a beautiful flower collar for our golden retrievers. If you want a team that is full of passion and creativity, then you need A Garden Party!
We decided to invest in A Garden Party once we saw the beutiful work they consistently create and the pride they take in their craft. We could not possibly be happier with this decision! I will never get over how absolutely perfect the flower arrangements were, and honestly the word perfect does not even do them justice! The floral bouquets and arrangements they created took the many disorganized ideas I had in my head and brought my wedding flower dreams to life! Together, the color scheme, textures and simplicity were better than I could have dreamed. I am still getting compliments on our flowers. You certainly will not regret working with the Garden Party team!
Mary, Dawn & their team at A Garden Party absolutely NAILED IT for our wedding in Philadelphia. I got married at PAFA, an art school & museum – I wanted reds, oranges, fall colors, but was struggling with how to pull together the whole vision. Mary and Dawn met me at the venue a few months in advance of my wedding and provided so many suggestions for linen colors, floor plans, and other small details for the weddings outside of just florals. They were extremely communicative throughout our wedding planning process. They went above and beyond at the venue to help decorate and bring the vision to life – the reception space looked amazing with tall and short florals, candelabras, tea lights, and bud vases throughout the entire reception space - to say they are creative geniuses is an understatement. I couldn’t more highly recommend the team at A Garden Party, they are incredible to work with and SO talented.
Dawn and Mary went above and beyond every step of the way! My wedding had to be rescheduled due to the pandemic and the team could not have been more accommodating with all of the changes. When the day finally came, I was blown away by their artistry and creativity! My bouquet brought me to tears, especially when Mary mentioned she had cut my peonies from her garden that morning! The attention to detail on my ceremony arch was remarkable. They had arranged the flowers in a subtle ombre of pink shades. Celebrating with A Garden Party was the best decision I made while planning my wedding!
Dawn, Mary, and the rest of the Garden Party team are truly the BEST of the best. From our very first meeting they were IN CHARGE, organized, and fun to work with - everything a bride-to-be wants in a vendor! Throughout the planning process, Dawn and Mary were quick to respond to all questions, communicated with us the entire way, and met with us to ensure they understood our vision. Their work goes far beyond florals, as they also created beautiful signs, seating charts, table decorations, and more. My husband and I often talked about how lucky we felt to have found Dawn and Mary and how impressive they were to work with. On wedding day, the Garden Party team was on time and truly transformed our venue space into the most beautiful secret garden. It was absolutely breathtaking! We talked about their work all night and received endless complements. We truly could not have found a better florist and feel so so lucky to have worked with A Garden Party.
Mary, Dawn and the whole team absolutely created a daydream for our wedding venue. I was completely awestruck when I finally saw the ballroom at ICONA after they worked their magic. They completely delivered on the vision I described, and I was, and still am, totally speechless. From our first meeting, A Garden Party understood how I imagined my flowers, centerpieces, candles, table settings and accessories looking and it was like we were meant to work together. Their customer service was impeccable; always responsive and concise. I recommend this team 10/10 times!
We can’t thank Mary, Dawn and the team at A Garden Party enough for helping make our wedding dreams come to life! Our venue recommended them and we are so glad they did! When we met Mary at another wedding and saw their work in person, we were absolutely blown away! We knew in that moment we had to get A Garden Party for our wedding! We gave Mary and Dawn a color scheme and a little direction on what we wanted and we let them take it from there. We were not disappointed! We are so happy with how everything turned out. From the bouquets and centerpieces to the signage and even our arbor, everything was even more beautiful than we imagined! We had a little uncertainty in regards to the weather in the days leading up to our outdoor ceremony and the team at A Garden Party was on top of everything! They helped us create a contingency plan ahead of time that ensured our last minute ceremony changes (due to wind!) were flawless. Our guests could not compliment their work enough! We highly, highly recommend A Garden Party to anyone for their wedding floral needs!
My husband and I spoke to multiple florists and no one compared to Mary and Dawn. They immediately understood the vibe we wanted and gave us confidence that they could flawlessly execute our vision, which they did! They were very helpful working within our budget and suggesting ways for us to repurpose flowers for different parts of the day. They 100% exceeded our expectations and did a beautiful job. They were very responsive and flexible with the multiple date changes due to COVID19. Hire them now, you will not regret it!
Dawn, Mary and their team at A Garden Party are absolutely amazing! They were so wonderful to work with from start to finish! We had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID and they were there supporting us every step of the way! They took my ideas and brought them to the next level with their creativity and vision! Our floral and candle arrangements, welcome mirror, arches and hanging installation were truly masterpieces and beautiful works of art! They were able to transform our wedding venue and day into a real-life fairytale! We would highly recommend this team to anyone that wants the most beautiful and flawless wedding day!
A Garden Party was an absolute dream to work with especially with all the curve balls Covid kept throwing our way. They stuck with me through three different wedding dates, multiple color theme changes as the dates changes and even venue switches. Dawn and Mary make a great team. Dawn is so organized and was always for quick to respond. Mary’s creativity was unbelievable and she brought my vision to life. The wedding coordinators and guest at the wedding were all very impressed by the décor. We heard many times that night that it was the best that many people have ever seen. You won’t be disappointed if you book A Garden Party is was my best decision. Thank You again Mary, Dawn and Team for making my wedding day beautiful.
Pure Magic.
There are no other words to describe what A Garden Party team does. Mary & Dawn were extremely helpful from the start of the process to the very end. Dawn being so organized and helping me ensure everything was perfect for the big day. We even threw in a VERY last minute addition and she didn't even flinch. Dawn said we're on it, and they sure were.
Then Mary... where to even begin. Mary truly made my dreams come true. I have always said I wanted my guests to feel like they are walking into a garden, and she just absolutely blew any expectation I have ever had out of the water. It was perfect and exactly what I wanted. It's like she read my mind!! I don't know how they do it. The team was so sweet and so organized on my wedding day, they were the most professional group. I didn't even have to give it a second thought, I knew it was going to be perfect.
I could go on for days about how amazing they were and how lucky I was to find them. Take my advice.. don't wait on this one. A Garden Party is worth every single penny and I would chose them again and again.
Thank you Dawn, Mary, & Team for making my dreams come true!!!
A Garden Party was amazing! They stuck with me and were so patient considering we had multiple date changes, and changes to our plan due to Covid. I knew Mary & Dawn would do an amazing job, but I was so blown away with how beautiful everything at my wedding turned out! My guests all raved about the flowers and how lovely the decor was for days after. I would highly recommend A Garden Party for your future wedding!
A Garden Party went above and beyond my expectations! Dawn and Mary were so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. Even with a date change from November to May, I was blown away by the end result. My flowers and wedding decor looked absolutely amazing and I have received so many compliments from guests. I highly recommend!
Dawn and her team did an AMAZING job! She took my vision and made it a reality. The week of my wedding, Dawn was able to provide florals and candles for a memorial table and it was beautiful! Her team is organized, professional, and creative. I highly recommend A Garden Party for your wedding!
Dawn, Mary, and their team did such a beautiful job. Everything looked amazing and several of my guests complimented me on the florals. Dawn communicated with me every step of the way to make sure everything was how I wanted.
A Garden Party made my wedding floral and decor dreams come true. Dawn, Mary and their team were so amazing. A Garden Party handled all of our flowers, from bouquets and boutonnieres to displays for our wedding arch and the reception fire place. They also handled all our decor. They displayed our blankets and our cake/cupcakes, our seating table display, and more. They have worked at our venue so many times, I felt comfortable giving them an idea of what I wanted and letting their imaginations fly and they absolutely delivered. My husband and I are so grateful for the work they did, highly recommend their team for any of your floral needs!
I’m still SPEECHLESS at the entire experience with A Garden Party! Mary and Dawn exceeded my wildest dreams; people are still raving about the flowers and beauty of my wedding. They are the absolute best of the best to work with. Being a COVID bride, I was feeling a constant state of disappoint having to constantly change my “vision” — until I talked with these ladies. They designed an EPIC first wedding which was cancelled and designed an even more EPIC second wedding. They were so flexible with my change in style. Most importantly, my wedding day poured ugly rain and was completely outside, Mary, Dawn, and their entire team worked their asses off to transform what could have been an ugly, rainy backyard wedding into an absolutely breathtaking affair. Their talent is absolutely without compare. Plus their personalties are the best!! So warm, smart, caring, and creative. I’m so sad my wedding is over because their gorgeous work brought my soul so much happiness. Hands down, hiring them was the very best decision I’ve ever made.
This review is long overdue after a crazy year - but much needed. I got married October 2019 and A Garden Party was unbelievable to work with. The questionnaires and in person meetings were a seamless way to create my wedding vision. Mary and Dawn took my small ideas and thoughts on colors and added in their floral and design expertise and created a masterpiece. I had no doubts that what they were going to create was going to be beautiful - and then they blew me out of the water. The colors, attention to detail, and the way they helped style all of my elements were better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone was talking about the gorgeous florals all night!
A Garden Party came recommended by our wedding venue, ICONA Avalon, after we pivoted from our big city wedding amidst the pandemic and decided to do a microwedding at the beach with our family and bridal party. I cannot describe how beautiful the flowers were that Mary, Dawn and their team developed for our wedding. The bouquets were gorgeous, they supplied a perfect driftwood arbor for our beach ceremony and the decor was exquisite. Plus, they were the easiest vendor to work with - I cannot sing their praises enough, their work is second to none!
Without a doubt, Mary and her team are the most talented florists/decorators I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with!! Seeing Mary’s visions brought to life for my daughter’s wedding was AMAZING!! Pure perfection!!!
From start to finish A Garden Party was wonderful. The process began about a year or so before our wedding. We met with them at their shop and went over designs, ideas, and our vision. My favorite part of that process was using Pinterest. I had saved some images a head of time and during our meeting they took a look at my pinterest board, and used that for our design ideas. Everything turned out amazing and they were the only vendor that didn't give me pre-wedding anxiety.. which says a lot! They were very prompt with all of our communication and I didn't have to worry about whether they were going to get the job done. About a month before the wedding I had another meeting to finalize all of our details and go over everything. They were totally wonderful about some changes I wanted to make and they really made our vision come to life. All of our guests raved about the flowers and decor (which they also provided). It was magical.
My wedding was the most gorgeous day possible because of the hard work and talent of A Garden Party. The staff are the most professional, smart, creative artists in all of event planning. When I met with them my describe my theme as Botanically Nautical. Every one else thought I was crazy! What does that even mean?? But they saw my vision. My venue had drift wood, air plants, flowers, hops, kale, and succulents all with hints of beach vibes. It was the most breath taking decor I have ever seen. My sweat heart table made me cry. On top of my wedding day the team came down the night before to set up center pieces for my rehearsal dinner! They we so easy to work with and with every meeting we had the more brilliant ideas they came up with and the more excited I got. We will continue to use A garden party for any special occasion in our lives I couldn't recommend them more, they are FANTASTIC.
JUST WOW! The entire experience with Dawn and Mary was flawless and effortless. They were so attentive, so responsive, and beyond professional. They truly created my DREAM wedding. They are unbelievably creative and can bring your visions to life, as they did mine. I honestly stood in awe when I saw my venue on my wedding day. I couldn't believe how they transformed the space into my fairytale. 1000000% book A Garden Party for an unforgettable and enjoyable experience!
I loved working with A Garden Party. At the initial meeting, they pulled my Pinterest board up on a big screen so we were able to look at all the ideas I liked and saved. The owners were easy to work with and quick to respond to emails.
More than just flowers, A Garden Party has rental items to meet your needs. I rented an easel, crates, and candles.
A Garden Party delivered on time and everything was exactly how I pictured it would be. It was so nice to see my visions and ideas come to live, exactly! I am still in love with my bouquet and am having it preserved!
As we began planning, my now husband (!) and I knew our vision wasn’t going to match a typical wedding aesthetic. When we brought our ideas to A Garden Party, Dawn and Mary didn’t miss a beat. They transformed the blank canvas of our venue into an elegant beach oasis and the process could not have been more of a pleasure. We wanted it to feel modern and warm and inviting and the sisters more than delivered. Their boundless creativity, professionalism, problem solving and kindness made it seem so effortless but we know behind everything was a lot of heart and sweat. Now we just have to think of some excuse to have a party so we can work with them again!! Thank you to Dawn and Mary and their whole team for helping create the wedding of our dreams.
A garden party went above and beyond what I could have EVER imagined for my wedding. I gave them a general idea of what I wanted and told them to do what they thought worked and i am SO glad I did. They are seriously artists and I CAN NOT recommend them enough. I am so incredibly glad I used them for my wedding and have already recommended them to anyone who is getting married in the area. I have received so many compliments about the amazing flowers and I did not need ANY other decor because it just looked so amazing. Long story short, if Garden Party is available for your wedding day consider yourself lucky and book them immediately. And thank you for making my day incredible!
This is our second time using A Garden Party for a wedding. Dawn and Mary are incredible to work with. Their commitment to making sure every last detail is handled with professionalism and care goes above and beyond. Our daughter had a vision for her wedding and they executed it perfectly! I would highly recommend A Garden Party to whoever wants to work with a first class operation and people that really care to make your wedding a most memorable occasion! I only wish I had more daughter so I could work with them again!
Mary, Dawn & their team are simply the BEST! Watching them work was truly impressive. What they did to our wedding venue was absolutely stunning! So creative, the flowers were so gorgeous and all the accessories were perfect! They were so easy to work with from the very beginning and took all my ideas and made them come to life more beautifully than I could have imagined! Everything was perfect, thank you guys!!!
STUNNING!! I used A Garden Party as my wedding florist and they were absolutely amazing!! The flowers they provided were prettier than I could have ever imagined. They captured exactly what I was looking for, but not only did they look great, the staff was so friendly. Leading up to the wedding they were always responsive to me. They are so organized and would send an updated PDF of what we discussed within a few hours of our call or in person meeting. They made me feel at ease and were so knowledgeable about their work. My wedding flowers were perfect! I would strongly recommend you book them for your event!!
It took me so long to write this review because I couldn't find the words to describe how incredible and talented the entire team at A Garden Party is. They can do the most creative and unique floral designs I've ever seen. When I saw them at a wedding show, I was so blown away that I said when it came time for me to choose a florist, it would be them no matter what. But somehow they ended up being so much more than I thought. When I sat down with Mary to just brainstorm, I loved her passion for what she does. It was incredibly inspiring. She took my ideas and turned them into beautiful works of art - she was so creative that I picked my theme, colors, and decor decisions for my wedding at that meeting. A Garden Party gave me the wedding inspiration I needed! Then, when it came to day-of, they did such a beautiful job that I'm still comprehending it. From my sweetheart table to the window florals to the bouquets to the arch, A Garden Party gave me the most beautiful wedding. It felt like a fairytale. People were obsessed - everyone took pictures with the arch, and even now, two months later, we are still getting calls and comments on how perfect the flowers were. People keep saying, including men, they've never seen more impressive, beautiful, stunning flowers. I have recommended them to everyone I know, and if you want the best in the biz, A Garden Party is it.
Dawn, Mary, and their team were such a pleasure to work with and truly exceeded my admittedly high expectations! I had a fairly specific vision in mind and am so pleased with how they brought it to life. They were open to any and all ideas I had and provided great suggestions to enhance my vision. I received countless complements from guests, vendors, and even hotel staff about our flowers and decor. On my wedding day everything was in place and ready to go promptly, which is saying a lot because we had quite a bit that had to be transferred from the ceremony to the reception. You won't be disappointed with this awesome team!
The florals that A Garden Party created for us on our wedding day were legitimately outstanding. They were one of our favorite vendors throughout the entire process. We worked with Mary the whole time and from the very beginning every interaction with her was so positive. She is organized, responsive, warm, easy to work with, creative and so so talented. In regards to the day of planning, she was great at presenting the items that we might need without being pushy with her opinion. We gave her a general idea of the colors we wanted and the vibes that we were going for at the wedding and visited their farm to pick out some specific flowers that we loved. From there we gave them free reign in designing the final products and OMG. They went above and beyond and delivered something more amazing than we could have ever imagined. My bouquet literally left me speechless and our ceremony arch was so beautiful and unique; everything was unlike anything that I had ever seen before. They are worth every penny and I really cannot recommend them enough! We love them so much!
I got married on 5/31/19 at Running Deer Golf Club and was fortunate enough to have A Garden Party completely TRANSFORM the venue into everything I dreamed I wanted and more! Seriously Mary and Dawn are the experts when it comes to all things flowers and weddings. From booking to executing our vision, they made the process so smooth and effortless. Linking to my Pinterest page was amazing to express my ideas to them and they knew exactly what I wanted. On the day of the wedding, Mary went ABOVE and BEYOND to leave no detail unnoticed or touched with greenery and flowers. The space looked breathtaking and felt magical. I'm so grateful for all of their hard work making our day feel like it was the only day that mattered. I cannot recommend A Garden Party enough. They truly made our wedding day perfect!
The flowers were absolutely GORGEOUS! So much prettier than I ever imagined. Mary and Dawn really took the time to listen to everything that I had going on in my head and they put everything together so beautifully. They were a pleasure to work with!
A Garden Party was amazing! They worked with me on my vision for our wedding every step of the way. Working with them from a distance, we used Pinterest to share ideas, pictures and vision, and when we met in person, they had the perfect florals ready to go. Their energy was great, service amazing, and everyone has been complementing their design since the wedding. I would use them again for an event in a heartbeat. I can't say enough good things about their people, designs and service. They made me feel so special on such an important day.
Mary and A Garden Party team were a dream to work with. After seeing their gorgeous work at my best friends wedding, they were the first florist I contacted when searching for our wedding. They were so patient in helping us narrow down our quote to hit the number in our budget and helped us design our dream wedding.
decor.
On our actual wedding day there was horrible rain predicted for our outdoor ceremony. They held off decorating our plan B, set up completely outside at our plan A ceremony space so we could take all of our photos under the gorgeous arbor, and then switched everything to our indoor plan B location just in time for the ceremony. Mary's calm demeanor and professionalism shined. Thank you ladies! You're the BEST!
From our initial meeting with Mary, to the set-up with Dawn the day of the wedding everything was seamless. Mary, Dawn, and AGP team exceeded all of our expectations. From my wedding bouquet, to my bridesmaids' bouquets, to the AMAZING decor at our reception, everything was beyond perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better florist to work with. When I walked into the venue, before any of my guests I was amazed at the transformation of the room, with all the amazing floral, candles, and cake/dessert decor - it was more than I ever dreamt of. I would definitely recommend using A Garden Party for your wedding day!
Dawn, Mary, and their team are truly amazing! They were so easy to work with and you can tell that they really want to make each event special! They honestly were like real life fairy godmothers! The flowers for our event were absolutely stunning and people were coming up to us complimenting them for days after the wedding! They helped create a wedding more beautiful than anything in my wildest dreams! I highly recommend them for any event!
We let the team guide us in terms of floral arrangements and it was more than we could have asked for. They also traveled out of state to deliver to our venue for a very reasonable fee!
We saw a lot of venues along the Jersey shore for our wedding and every venue recommended A Garden Party for our florist and they were not wrong! The ladies of A Garden Party were wonderful to work with and Mary patiently sat with my mom and I for a very long time as we kept going back and forth between different centerpieces. They also had great ideas and suggestions and everything that we planned came out exactly as I imagined. I cannot recommend them enough!
A Garden Party made our dream wedding come true! We loved working with Mary. She completely understood the look and feel we were dreaming of and made it come to life! A Garden Party had the most amazing inventory, I didn’t have to worry about candle holders or anything! They put together the most beautiful lounge area and seating cart... our guests are still talking about it! Mary was super knowledgeable and the work was just absolutely stunning. Mary added her special touches to my bouquet, pinning some family items to the wrap. It meant so much to have those pieces with me on our wedding day! They added special touches to our cake and even helped with a last minute donut wall! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without A Garden Party!!
A Garden Party was a Dream Come True! We planned our wedding from long-distance and planning with Dawn & Mary was effortless. They were always responsive via emails/phone calls & they listened to "EXACTLY" what we had imagined. They were super positive and fun to work with and were able to understand our vibe from start to finish. We shared inspiration pictures through pinterest (which really helped from long-distance), they were extremely patient with me as I revised some of my finishing thoughts up until the final weeks of the wedding. They are BEYOND TALENTED and their creative floral designs are only what I can describe as MAGICAL. Their designs can take any venue/space and capture your unique ambience for your wedding~making it yours.
Total Disclaimer, we thought we didn't need much floral designs at our wedding, since we hosted it at a beach venue- OMG we couldn't have been more wrong. Our Wedding Day looked as if we styled it for a Magazine Cover. Absolutely Unreal!
With all the over-whelming decisions that a wedding requires, do yourself and your partner a huge favor and book with them. Honest.
Amazing and so creative! Our flowers and details were so on point! We got to see the venue, taste the food, try on the dress, practice hair and makeup, but the flowers you see that day! We had a beach wedding and were looking for “coastal chic” and they nailed it! Flowers were breathtaking, but the staging of the lanterns and shells and coral and roping, etc. etc. etc. was gorgeous! We got so many compliments on the overall decor that they designed. Very creative sister team and their amazing staff! Highly recommend them!
These women were A++++ amazing. They not only could practically read our minds on what we wanted, they were super friendly and helpful. On the wedding day, the flowers were even more incredible than we could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!
We used A Garden Party for our wedding and we are beyond happy with our choice. They were so helpful with picking out flowers. If you want to make sure your wedding has beautiful flowers and decor you HAVE to use A Garden Party. Thank you for helping our wedding turn out so beautiful!
A Garden Party does it all! Their work is flawless and they really understood the look I was going for, despite my inability to describe the style. After showing them only a few photos, the ladies of A Garden Party were able to guide me through Pinterest to pin point what they would envision without ever making me feel like I couldn't say no. Plus, they're very down to earth and communicative. Highly recommend for any event!
Mary and Dawn were such a pleasure to work with ! They were very friendly and always quick to respond to a message !! I gave them ideas on what I wanted and pictured and they brought it to life !!! Also, their prices were very affordable !!
A Garden Party did an amazing job decorating our wedding. Their floral arrangements and other creative touches really perfected the day for us. They were very easy to work with too! Thanks!
A Garden Party made our wedding flower dreams come true this past May at Bonnet Island Estate! Mary and Dawn truly have an special eye for floral design like no other. They were spectacular to work with from beginning to end (hands down most professional and punctual vendor) and provided many unique and different ideas to the table while still respecting my vision. I can safely say that my favorite and the most jaw-dropping element of my wedding was the floral and event design.
There are many things that can go wrong on the big day, but we never had any worry that something would be missed or out of place with their team. Their professionalism is top notch and even during the stress of the day they were true rockstars, were calm, cool, and collected.
The flowers truly exceeded our expectations above and beyond. We have been getting many compliments about the flowers still to this day! That is a true testament to their talents. I have no doubt I will find a way to work with them again in the future.
It took over two hours to drive down to visit the A Garden Party farm/office, but it was well worth the distance! Mary and Dawn were absolutely wonderful to work with and they made my wedding in Princeton gorgeous. They made decision-making as easy as possible and I have received so many compliments on every flower/piece they have added to our wedding.
They were punctual, creative, kind, easygoing... I could go on. If you are getting married in the Central/South Jersey area please get in touch with them! You will not be disappointed.
AGP provided that finishing touch that made our special day perfect. Our flowers and other decorations (fabric, candles, seating chart, etc.) were exactly what I wanted, and the owners and staff are so talented at floral design and decoration. My flowers were one of my absolute favorite parts of my wedding!
Working with Mary and the team at A Garden Party was a wonderful experience. From our first phone call, I felt that Mary completely understood my vision, despite me sometimes finding it difficult to articulate certain ideas. She has the most amazing "can-do," attitude, and excels at using her experience and creative skills to execute the most gorgeous floral designs imaginable. Everything came out perfectly - we had an elaborate floral arrangement adorning a tree at our ceremony site, and stunning display on the outdoor fountain, lush, beautiful bouquets and romantic candles and centerpieces in the ballroom - all were executed to perfection. I can never thank them enough!!
everything was so beautiful! They are so great at what they do! I would highly recommend!!!
One word - perfection. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mary and Dawn for our daughter's wedding in December. They were able to capture our daughter's creative spirit perfectly and bring to life her vision for a beautiful winter wedding combining their artistry along with personal touches from both the bride and groom (antique book collection, geodes) and seasonal elements to incorporate the spirit of the holidays without going overboard . They created spectacular bouquets, boutonnieres, candlelit table centerpieces for coctail hour and reception, fireplace mantle decor and cake table greenery. Mary and Dawn also transformed the cermony space in front of the fireplace over to the reception space seemlessly while guests attended a coctail hour in another area of the venue. I cannot say enough about the quality of their work, attention to detail and their creativity. It was simply sublime, and well worth the expense.
Where flower dreams come true 😍😍😍I went back and forth before selecting a garden party. I started with one flower budget and ended with another. No regrets at all. And I can say a big up on my budget were last minute changes I made for the ceremony-it was so cold out the ceremony was a good 15 minutes and it was done 😭 BUT I still would not have changed a thing. Each peace of the wedding that these ladies touched was pure perfection. When I went to the consultation appointment I was impressed at their visions and how they helped me understand my own style without me being able to communicate exactly what I was looking for. They linked up to my Pinterest account which I thought was super smart, and by looking at their Pinterest, Instagram and wedding blog I could fully trust that I was in good hands. Out with the old stuffy and stale centerpieces, in with rose gold lanterns with long ribbons and succulents, floating candles and eucalyptus leaves draping everything. They will help you stick to your budget, though if you’re like me, you’ll upgrade a bunch of stuff at the end anyway 🤷🏽♀️ but, you only get married once. We took our leftover flowers to a church and retirement home and our succulents are still living! Do it!
I highly recommend A Garden Party for all floral needs! It was so easy working with Dawn and Mary from start to finish on the flowers for our wedding. I'll never forget walking into our reception before everyone else and seeing our vision brought to life...it was stunning! I mainly worked with Mary, who is so talented and great at taking a "vision" and hashing it out until you're both on the same page. She also was great at working within our budget and suggesting ways we could lower our costs, while maintaining the overall aesthetic. Overall, I loved working with them & you will definitely be happy if you go with A Garden Party too!
Cannot day enough great things about Dawn and Mary! They helped us create the most beautiful day!! From our ceremony to our cocktail hour through the reception everything was flawless. They were so easy to work with and creative. Worth every penny!!
Flowers, center pieces, bouquets were stunning. Mary and Dawn were awesome to work with!!
A Garden Party made my wedding day incredibly beautiful! The arrangements were breathtaking! During our consultations, Mary picked up on our style immediately and made amazing suggestions!
A Garden Party brought my wedding dreams to reality with their gorgeous floral designs. My bouquet was more gorgeous than I had imagined it could be and the arrangements for the wedding were beyond stunning. Mary was a pleasure to work during the consultations and the deliveries the day of the wedding were right on time. My experience with A Garden Party was wonderful from start to finish and I highly recommend other brides hire them. Thank you, ladies!!
To say the team at A Garden Party was absolutely incredible would be an understatement. From the day we had our fist meeting with Dawn to the moment we walked into the gorgeously adorned ballroom on our wedding day, we were blown away. Dawn and Mary made my floral dreams come true and our guests are still raving over how gorgeous our head table was. Dawn was so accommodating with every request I made and she made sure every detail was perfect. She even wrapped a piece of my mom's wedding gown around my bouquet which was a beautiful and sentimental touch. We couldn't be more grateful for the experience they provided throughout the entire planning process and their organization skills are impeccable. If you want your wedding day to look like it's straight out of a fairytale, do not walk, but RUN to A Garden Party. You won't be sorry!
Dawn and Mary are incredible! They were so friendly and easy to work with, and they truly made my floral dreams come true! Our wedding flowers were my favorite detail of the day - they were absolutely gorgeous! They took my vision of romantic blushes, deep reds, and peachy hues, and turned our wedding into a beautiful, lush garden. All of our guests would not stop commenting on the centerpieces, aisle markers, arch decor, and bouquets. They also made us a beautiful head table floral piece that was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend!
Stay Away!:
A wedding should be a dream day, without a worry or concern regarding a vendor. This particular establishment - A Garden Party not only made my Bride shed tears on her and our wedding day, but their complete lack of respect and professionalism was the most concerning thing to us. A quick recap of how A Garden Party's extremely tardy arrival affected our entire wedding day, let alone the sub-par products they produced:
Watch out for the contract wording – as the owner Mary verbally stated that she would attend our wedding day delivering the flowers, but after we spent over $3K that wasn’t enough as Mary stated she had an obligation days before our wedding, to attend another event. The contract states anyone can show, so that was the out. Their intern - “Ashley's” 40+ minutes of lateness led to a very upsetting series of events on our wedding day. We were told there was nothing to worry about with Ashely now delivering. When we scheduled 10am as the drop off time it was the dead last time to be there. We explained in detail how everything revolved around the floral headpiece & if it couldn't be there by 10am that my Bride's hair wouldn't be done, etc. They assured us that it would never happen. Yes, my Bride wasn’t late to the wedding, which is true: She wasn't late because she left without being ready. For a noon Mass she can't just "start late" so she had to show up as is. Her makeup was done, but we had to wait so long on her hair that she wasn't ready for the photographer's getting ready shots. My Bride only had 20 minutes for the girl to braid her band in & she was so late with the flowers that they started her hair knowing it wouldn't be in at all and she re-did the entire thing once Ashley got there. Her veil was put in in the limo & fell off when she walked up to the altar because it had to be the last thing to be put on & she couldn't pin it correctly herself. We cannot tell you how upsetting it was, let alone my BRIDE to be so shaken & upset on our wedding day.
Beyond the fact that the flowers were also delivered to the wrong location per our contract – Groomsmen flowers to the church not the hotel, the Best Man’s bout being Larger than myself the Groom’s as well as the lateness, the largest problem we found with this vendor – A Garden Party was their lack of dignity and respect. After discussing the above with Mary via email – she didn’t offer an apology, didn’t offer to refund us the over $200 worth of “labor” and “delivery” fees which we never received due to their employee showing up late, nor did Mary offer to amend the matter in any way shape or form. She simply stated “all the best” to us and “sorry”…After following up multiple times, we were able to get back the labor and delivery fees back. Before offering an apology for making a BRIDE CRY, have her VEIL FALL OFF on her wedding day, Mary defended the employee stating she was only XX minutes late and not 40 minutes as we stated. She discussed phone call logs, that were irrelevant as over 30 people are able to support the fact that A Garden Party was 40+ minutes late. This was inconsequential, as I would assume this vendor knows the importance of timing on a wedding day.
We sincerely hope a Bride or Groom or anyone reading this thinks twice before booking with this vendor – A Garden Party. Their lack of service, respect for customers is utterly shocking. At the end of the day, we do not know how these types of people and “businesses” exist.
A Garden Party delivered on the most stunning wedding bouquets and flowers that we have ever seen for our wedding in January 2017. They were incredible to work with in planning - detail oriented and professional. They took some photos we had found on the internet, and brought them to life, even more beautiful than I could have imagined. They incorporated a brooch from my late grandma and bouquet charms into my bouquet seamlessly, and everything was just perfect. Highly recommend them - they are incredible!
I couldn't have been happier with A Garden Party. From the initial consultation with Mary I knew I was in good hands. They have impeccable taste and know how to achieve the look you're going for. You can tell the team really loves what they do and want to make your day as beautiful as it can be.
Mary is AMAZING! She worked so patiently to ensure my vision was created. The service I received was so personable. I met with multiple florists, but I knew A Garden Party was the best after our initial consultation. The bouquets, centerpieces and chuppah were gorgeous!
I wanted to have A Garden Party do my wedding as soon as I met them at a bridal show, and I am so glad I did!!!! Mary and Dawn and their team are beyond talented. They paid attention to what I liked and made all of my pinterest dreams come true. They had so many great ideas and I am still obsessed with my flowers a month after my wedding! Even with the crazy wind the day of, A Garden Party found a solution for everything and my day was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you!!
Mary and Dawn are completely awesome - as is the whole team at A Garden Party. They made my Pinterest Board literally come to life. Their flowers are stunning. They are so fun to plan a wedding with. And they go above and beyond on your actual wedding day to make sure the details are just perfect. What more could you ask for?!
Everything I asked for they delivered 100x better, and they took my rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception to another level of beautiful. Totally in love with this company for their passion, unbelievable talent, and sisterhood, and I would recommend them again to any bride who just melts over flowers and really pretty things.
Mary and Dawn and the whole Garden Party team were amazing! From the very first meeting, we felt that they listened and understood the vision that we wanted for our wedding. We wanted a "Rustic Vintage" wedding with lots of succulents and a more masculine feel. Awesome and quick communication. Very professional. The day of the wedding everything (boutonnières, bouquets, centerpieces, flower girl basket, ring bearer moss pillow, aisle decorations, sweetheart table, chuppa, & all the extra little touches) was absolutely perfect! They were great to work with! I can't say enough great things about them!
We went to several florists, but none could compare to A Garden Party. Everything they do is customized and beautiful. Our wedding flowers were absolutely amazing, and so many people commented on them. They are easy to work with, and totally listen to you about what you would like. They are highly creative, and suggested so many different ideas. Highly recommend!
A Garden Party did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. I only had one meeting with them due to my schedule and they completely listened to what I wanted during the initial meeting. The flowers turned out stunning!!! Everything was exactly the way I pictured it on my wedding day.
My husband and I were married on August 15, 2015 and are so thankful we chose A Garden Party as our florist for our church ceremony and country club cocktail hour and reception. The sisters of A Garden Party, Mary and Dawn, were so easy to work with! They really listened to my vision for the day and were able to create such beautiful floral designs and decorations (we used a vintage birdcage for cards and rustic windows for our seating chart) while being very respectful of our budget. My sister even had them create the centerpieces for my bridal shower! All of our guests kept commenting on how beautiful everything looked during the reception so you can imagine how happy they were when I told them that Mary and Dawn had created centerpieces that they could take home with them! I will continue to use A Garden Party for all of my floral needs and I would highly recommend them, not only for your wedding, but for any event you want to make extra special!
