From our first meeting with Claire to discuss our floral needs for our wedding day, we knew we’d be in good hands. Claire is attentive, straight forward and creative in making our ideas a reality. On our wedding day, every floral piece was brought to each location on time and appeared more beautiful than we imagined. We could not have been happier in our decision to go with Alex Waldbart Florist! - Mervin & Ema (May 2025)

Claire and the whole team here were great! It was so easy and low-stress the day of the wedding since they hand-delivered all the florals for the day. Brian and Autumn did a beautiful job decorating and always exactly where we needed them, when we needed them.

I have been dying to write this review since the moment we hired Tony at Waldbart's Florist. 3 months before our wedding we had to cut ties with the florist we hired one year out f...

rom the wedding. Just wasn't doing it for us. I emailed Waldbart's at 9:00pm and received an email from Claire within one hour--she was easing my worries and immediately trying to bring a smile to me face. The next day I met with Tony Corso and they managed to squeeze us in as a client on such short notice for an October wedding! Everyone knows October is a crazy wedding month but he wanted to help and they MADE. IT. HAPPEN! From the moment we met, Tony mastered the image I had drummed up of our ideal wedding day. Flowers were the ONLY element of color in our wedding so they had to be right. OH AND WERE THEY RIGHT!!! Tony checked in with me on a regular basis just to see how I was doing and if there was anything he could do to help me make decisions. WHO IS THIS GUY?! I LOVE HIM! I needed someone to guide me in making decisions that would make the most stunning overall impact and BOOM...their arrangements receive an ovation! For any bride who obsesses over flowers...for any bride knows her standards are high...look no further you have met your match!

I had previously worked with and was very satisfied by the flowers designed by Alex Waldbart, so it was the florist at the top of my list when it came time for my wedding. I was v...

ery excited when my wedding consultation was with Tony. He is extremely creative, enthusiastic, and professional. It was a pleasure discussing my "vision" with him for the wedding, and I trusted his ideas and advice. He was able to create gorgeous arrangements and bouquets for my wedding while still staying within my budget. My groom and I--and our entire wedding party--were extremely impressed with Tony and his work on the Big Day. He was very professional and efficient to work with, and it was clear he knew what he was doing. The bouquets and arrangements were stunning, and they exceeded my expectations. One of my engaged bridesmaids asked for his information and will be setting up consultations with him for their weddings. In addition, he was timely in his delivery and worked hard to seamlessly move the flowers from our ceremony to the reception space. It was an absolute pleasure working with Tony! I will continue to use Alex Waldbart for all my floral needs!

Alex Waldbart was the first and ONLY florist I met with when planning my New Year's Eve Wedding. Within seconds of meeting with Tony I knew he understood my vision and I wanted to...

work with him. All of my bridesmaids were wearing sparkling champagne gold dresses and he suggested absolutely stunning flowers with subtle and classy feather accents. My ladies LOVED their bouquets. My bouquet was STUNNING, and could not have been more perfect. On top of it all, we were on a tight budget and Tony made it happen, and made it happen absolutely beautifully. Tony was unbelievably prompt when responding to my questions and most importantly he was HONEST when I asked his opinion on details. I feel so, so fortunate to have found Alex Waldbart and Tony. There's a reason they are around and busy after 140 years in business. Go with them if you want class, kindness and perfection.

When we went for our initial consultation we were really impressed with Linda. The quality and the price of the flowers were great and we felt she was listening to our needs. But a...

t the wedding some of the flowers were wrong. For example, my dad was supposed to have some white flowers to signify he was the father of the bride, but he did not have any white flowers. The flowers looked nice but the center pieces were a little smaller than what I was expecting for the money. My husband said that when she arrived to deliver the flowers she was not friendly and made things more hectic than needed. Overall, they weren't terrible but I would have liked to have someone who paid more attention to what we asked for.
