Beneva Weddings & Events

I had the destination wedding of my dreams and I owe a huge part of it to Beneva! I worked with Corona on my inspiration and she nailed it. It actually exceeded my expectations! Not to mention Coronas communication for a year was exceptional. I wasn’t going to preserve my bouquet but was so obsessed with my florals that I found someone last minute to preserve them. I’ve never seen such beautiful flowers in my life. I wanted tropical boho with palm leaves, peach and blush flowers and I got exactly that. Thank you again!

e recently had the pleasure of working with the talented team at Beneva Flowers, with Jamie as our floral designer, for our wedding, and we were absolutely blown away by the exceptional artistry and stunning arrangements they created. Beneva Flowers and Jamie transformed our wedding venue into a floral paradise, exceeding our expectations and adding an extra touch of elegance and beauty to our special day. From the initial consultation, it was evident that Jamie had a true passion for floral design. They took the time to understand our vision, personal style, and preferences, and expertly translated them into breathtaking floral creations. Jamie's creativity and attention to detail were truly remarkable, and their expertise shone through in every arrangement. The floral arrangements provided by Beneva Flowers were nothing short of extraordinary. From the exquisite bridal bouquet to the centerpieces and ceremony decor, each piece was meticulously crafted and thoughtfully composed. The selection of flowers and foliage was exquisite, and the color palette perfectly complemented our wedding theme. Jamie's ability to blend different textures, colors, and blooms resulted in arrangements that were both visually stunning and harmonious. One of the standout aspects of Jamie's work was their ability to create unique and personalized designs. They took the time to understand our preferences and incorporated meaningful elements into the arrangements. Jamie's creativity brought our vision to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. The attention to detail in each arrangement, from the delicate placement of blooms to the selection of complementary accents, showcased their artistry and commitment to excellence. The quality of the flowers provided by Beneva Flowers was exceptional. Every bloom was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully arranged. The longevity of the arrangements was impressive, allowing us to enjoy their beauty throughout the entire wedding day and beyond. Beneva Flowers' commitment to using the finest blooms ensured that our floral arrangements looked and smelled divine. Working with Jamie and the team at Beneva Flowers was an absolute pleasure. They were professional, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire process. Jamie's expertise and guidance were invaluable in selecting the perfect flowers and arrangements for our wedding. They listened to our ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and executed everything flawlessly. Their warm and friendly demeanor made the experience enjoyable, and their passion for their craft was evident in every interaction. We wholeheartedly recommend Beneva Flowers, with Jamie as the floral designer, to anyone in need of exquisite floral arrangements for their special occasion. Their artistry, attention to detail, and dedication to creating unique and personalized designs will exceed your expectations. Thank you, Jamie and the team at Beneva Flowers, for adding a touch of magic to our wedding day and creating floral arrangements that will be cherished in our memories forever.

Very upset I am writing this review, but after reaching out and "upper management" brushing off my attempt for internal resolution, here we are. To start, my budget was $2000. Not massive, but one of the few splurge items of my wedding. We put together my dream board (including pictures), as well as brainstormed what was within my budget to keep it realistic. Was super excited and increased the budget to $2800 to accommodate. Did the final consultation meeting, everything looked good on proposal. No worries right... Wrong. Wedding day: Im getting my hair and makeup complete, my coordinator walks in with a dreadful look on her face. She had just seen the tree installation (designers left without checking in) that was the entire backdrop of our wedding ceremony, ~$600 worth of product. It looked as if someone had completed 75% of the installation and then called it a day. It did not start where it was supposed to or end where is was supposed to, as if someone had copy and pasted it in the wrong position. Coordinator calls to get additional babies breath delivered, has to spend 45 minutes completing the tree installation standing on a chair; which she had other things to do other than complete Beneva team's work. Next my bridal bouquet: Inspiration photo showed a definite cascade shape and it was written in my proposal "cascading". I told Corona my disappointment with the lack of "cascade" of the bouquet, to which I was told I was not holding it right... My wedding coordinator and wedding party all agreed the shape was that of a normal ROUND bouquet not cascading to ANY degree. Felt pretty insulting to have such a response, especially since that was to be the centerpiece of some of the most important photos of my life and not have it delivered as planned/ envisioned Next my bridesmaids bouquets: Normal bouquets with quicksand roses. What was delivered was a bouquet with white flower and ONE quicksand rose in the very middle of the bouquet. I was never told there would be ONE novelty bloom in each bouquet. When addressed, the response " At $85, including the vase, ribbon, pins, labor, florals, and foliage, the recipe in your bridesmaids bouquets allowed for one quicksand rose which you did state was included." Had I been informed that only ONE bloom would be included I would had taken them out completely. Last: $600 worth of babies breath. I ordered 8 BALLS of babies breath to frame my aisle and give a whimsical theme as I walked to my forever. In the final consultation I also clarified with Corona, "Will these BALLs be at least a foot tall to reach the bottom of the chairs?" Reply " Yes, or ever taller". Day of, I walk out to 8 HALF SPHERES lining my aisle. I was so unpleased, I brought the tallest one home, it measured 10" tall. When addressed they acknowledged the BALL form was missed as well as the height. In response to all this, Beneva upper management and Corona offered a whopping $60 refund; after 1.5 weeks of waiting for a response. To say I am upset with the lack of design execution is appropriate. However the response I got to my attempt to let them make it right internally is more upsetting. In conclusion, if you would like to be promised your dream wedding flowers and then be completely let down, then this is your company. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Corona and the Beveva Weddings team did such an amazing job with our wedding! Our florals were absolutely stunning! I really wanted something very whimsical and fantasy looking. Corona was able to make a fairytale bloom to life with the arrangements she envisioned. They were better than anything I could have hoped for! The beautiful florals really made the night feel and look perfect. Things could not have looked more perfect! Thank you for giving me the fantasy garden wedding I've dreamed about!

I LOVED my wedding flowers and cried tears of joy when I walked into my venue and saw how beautiful it looked. My guests are still talking about how lovely my wedding flowers were (including my Mother In Law who is a retired wedding florist). She also gives 5 stars. I gave Corona my flower vision and a few photos and she and the team at Beneva worked their magic.

I had the best experience working with Beneva! Having an out of state wedding had me extremely nervous with how all the details would come together for our special day - and it was absolutely perfect!! Beneva staff was always accommodating, friendly and met my expectations for my wedding bouquet!!

Beneva did a great job with my bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and gazebo florals for my wedding! The only reason I am giving 4/5 stars is because over the course of my year of planning, I did get switched to 3 different planners with them, and the last planner, Jaime, neglected to make sure that my bouquet was meant to be cascading, and we had discussed it in the months prior. It did arrive looking exactly like all of the bridesmaid's bouquets, but the person who delivered it promptly returned to their storefront and fixed it for me before the ceremony and pictures!

Our flowers were beautiful! I love they added the monet candles, it really made the tables look so elegant!

Beneva did such a gorgeous job with our flowers, everything looked beautiful!

The florist was the hardest part of wedding planning. I had been ghosted by another florist before stumbling upon Beneva. The took my inspiration pics and turned it into real life. It was identical to what I wanted. Obsessed was an understatement! I had to deal with a few different people throughout the process which got confusing but in the end everything turned out exactly how I wanted. I was planning a destination wedding and everyone was super helpful and timely. Amazing work!

Absolutely A++! We used Beneva for our wedding May 16, 2021 and they did an absolutely amazing job! The bridal bouquet, large table flowers, arch flowers, everything was absolutely stunning. Very fresh and beautiful flowers. Great customer service, flexibility, and great prices as well! Highly recommend to anyone looking for extravagant and luxurious fresh flowers for affordable prices.

The flowers for our June beach wedding were EXQUISITE!!! Beyond my wildest dream, truly. I had sent a couple of photos through email, and that was really the extent of the preparation. They worked with the style and budget I had requested, were extremely accommodating, and even added an additional last minute boutonnière without batting an eye. When the florals arrived while we were getting ready, I was absolutely speechless. My husbands boutonnière, simple & gorgeous. The groomsmen’s, perfectly coordinated. Bridesmaids bouquets, perfect wild greenery, the exact right touch. My daughter’s flower crown, so sweet, the cherry on top and she was over the moon. My bouquet. There are not enough words to express how absolutely FLAWLESS it was!! Truly beyond my wildest dreams. I cannot even believe they were real. Two weeks + later, and I still cannot get over how absolutely breathtaking everything was. I cannot thank the team at Beneva enough for creating the most gorgeous touches for our very best day. 20/10 recommend this shop for any floral needs!

Booked Beneva Flowers & Plantscapes for our wedding on 5.29.21 The bouquets and boutonnieres were stunning. Nicole exceeded my expectations with my vision for the flowers. They also worked with my budget to provide exactly what I was looking for within a reasonable price. We picked up our flowers the day before our wedding and they had them in vases, ready to go and on time. The flowers were still looking fresh and in perfect condition the next day. Highly recommend!

Everyone at Beneva was wonderful and the flowers were so beautiful!! Exactly as I had envisioned! Highly recommend!!

Flowers for our beach wedding were perfect! Without an in person interview they knew exactly what I was looking did by pictures I sent them. Thank you so much!

Awful communication for 4+ months. Had to switch venders. Unless they do a 180 in customer service I do NOT recommend.

Working with Beneva was one of the easiest and best parts of wedding planning. From start to finish, the entire process of creating my dream flowers were seamless. Annie listened to all of my thoughts and pictures I sent her. She gave recommendations for add-ons and then made my dreams a reality! Megan then coordinated everything with my planner and made my big day completely stress free. I can't thank Beneva enough for making my Pinterest dreams come true!

wedding flowers had been the bane of my existence up until 2 weeks before my wedding when I finally worked with Beneva Flowers. I had plans for flowers that had fallen through and to say Beneva saved the day was an understatement. I had a very small budget to work with and really wasn’t expecting much, but WOW!! The bouquets we received were GORGEOUS and exactly what I wanted. I am absolutely amazed at what they were able to do!!

Had a fabulous experience working with Beneva for my wedding day! They were very accommodating and responsive! Megan and i spoke multiple times to make sure our visions matched! I couldn’t be happier with how the bouquets and center pieces turned out. Beneva even took extra flowers to my cake vender for them to decorate my cake! They took away a lot of my stress from wedding day and produced stunning arrangements.

Everything was beautiful and on time. However, they promised to take the flowers off the archway for the head table, but did not. The resort sent their own people to do that. Also, my bouquet was not the flowers we agreed on.

I can’t say enough about how easy these guys were to work with for our wedding ! Quick responses and very kind. And the Flowers, BEAUTIFUL! I would totally recommend them to anybody. Thank you Beneva for taking the stress out of my wedding.

Awesome experience working with BENEVA FLORIST for our wedding - really beautiful tropical flowers. The whole team went the extra mile for us and we could not be happier with their dedication and work. GREAT JOB!!!

They went above and beyond for our wedding. The flowers were perfect, and they paid close attention to all the details of our big day! The arrangements were beyond what I had dreamed! I would highly recommend them!

Exactly the look I was going for! I wanted simple and elegant. I love that they didn't try to upsell me to something more extravagant. Jaclyn was great to work with and was very helpful with decorating the chuppah. She allowed me to adjust her designs to make them perfect. Everything was delivered with no issues and my bouquet stayed looking good for almost a week after my wedding. The girls flowers looked full and alive and the center pieces looked great. They clearly know exactly how to deliver for a wedding, great to have something to not worry about and leave to the experts!

I am so happy I chose Beneva Flowers as my wedding florist. Jaquie was amazing to work with and she helped bring my vision to life. Each bouquet, centerpiece, and decoration were absolutely perfect! They even made a custom piece for our ceremony and it was breathtaking. I can’t imagine any other florist doing a better job than Beneva Flowers for my wedding!

We went in and had a meeting with Laura and she was able to show us everything we talked about while we were there. She did exactly what we talked about and everything was so beautiful! They were all so kind to work with and were very communicative when I had questions. I was obsessed with the way our flowers turned out!

I met the owner David Shuel at an Oriels game I was working as his company was passing out flowers to people coming into the stadium for opening day. He was very personable and we started talking about my wedding when he realized I didn’t have anyone picked out for flowers yet. He gave me his card and told me to come into the shop with my ideas. I hadn’t put much effort into finding a flower company yet with everything else I had going on for the wedding, but I always heard nothing but positive things about Beneva flowers and felt comfortable with the company, and with David. I went in with my ideas and the prices Beneva gave me weren’t even comparable; they were EXTREMELY reasonable! We were given a quote and they told us to call or email them with any changes we needed to make. It turns out one of my bridesmaids dropped out of the wedding, I called right away thinking we would lose the money spent on her bouquet. They refunded us the money a week before the wedding. We made 2 or 3 changes throughout the whole process and each time without hesitation or grief, they would change the proposal and gave us a new one no questions asked. They were extremely accommodating to all of our needs. I dropped the vases off for the centerpieces a few days before the wedding a little nervous something would get lost as there were so many vases. Everything came right on time and looking absolutely gorgeous the day of the wedding. They worked with my cake designer and day of coordinator to make sure all the centerpieces and the flowers for the cake got to the right places without me having to worry about anything. EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL and looked better than I could have ever imagined. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Beneva flowers!!!!

Beneva Flowers was so wonderful! With only one meeting, they knew exactly what I was envisioning and made our wedding day so beautiful! From the moment you walk in to working with their experts, everyone is absolutely pleasant and extremely helpful. I will be recommending Beneva Flowers to anyone with an upcoming event or special occasion!

Awesome bouquets and arrangements for our Wedding Celebration. We had limited budget and time which had been seriously pushed by Hurricane Irma. We decided to add some small arrangements to our venue at the Crosley Estate. Laura with Beneva florist had just 4 days to design and pull together our flower order. Everything they completed were Amazing. White roses, orchids, fillers all were gorgeous and economical. They were delivered and setup for us so no worries. Beneva Florist has been our family's favorite for over 25 years now and they do stunning work. Highly recommend.

We hired Beneva Flowers for sentimental reasons. My husband bought me a flower arrangement from Beneva for our first date and for many special occasions thereafter. Their arrangements were always beautiful and top notch. When we got engaged, I knew immediately that I wanted to hire them to do our wedding flowers. Beneva Flowers designed the most beautiful centerpieces and bouquet for our wedding. The quality and presentation were outstanding. The flowers even lasted for a few weeks after our event. They were the best florist we have ever used. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Thanks for making our decor amazing! You guys are great and our bouquets, centerpieces and arch turned out amazing

Beneva Flowers was one of our favorite vendors to work with while planning our wedding. As someone who is not very knowledgeable about flowers, Beneva was able to take a few photos and completely bring my vision to life. From the centerpieces to the bouquets, Beneva went above and beyond making our flowers so much more than I could have ever hoped for. Another aspect that I really appreciated was their creative recommendations to stay within our budget without compromising quality. Most importantly, I loved how efficient and organized their team was with tracking all of our correspondences and any updates to our order all within an online portal making the entire process seamless. Thank you Beneva for helping to create our perfect day!

Our flowers for our wedding were amazing!! I sent them a picture I liked for my bouquet and it looked exactly like it. We also used their arch and it looked great! Thank you!

My favorite wedding planning experience was with Beneva flowers. Upon arrival to my first appointment I was welcomed and worked closely with Laura. Laura was the sweetest professional who customized each of preferences into handcrafted unique and beautiful flower arrangements that I've ever laid eyes on! My guests are still raving about my flowers and I am too!

Laura designed the beautiful flowers for my wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was attended to. I'm so happy I chose to go with them. I wish you could see my photos of the flowers. Everyone commented on how beautiful they were!!

Thank you Diane and Beneva Flowers for doing an amazing job. All of your pieces were gorgeous. Thank you so much for making our vision possible. I am so happy I chose Beneva flowers. Highly Recommended!!!

Beneva Flowers was so incredible to work with, and the flowers at our wedding were just gorgeous. Kathy, our designer, made the most beautiful arch for the end of our aisle, and the bouquets for the bridesmaids and me were exquisite! The tables in the reception were breathtaking as well. I cannot recommend them enough! My husband also sent an out of this world arrangement to enjoy in our room and it brightened up our stay and the lobby after we left! To top it all off, we thought the prices were incredibly reasonable. We will use them every time we need flowers in Sarasota!

Beautiful and original arrangements, my bouquet was truly one of a kind and exactly what I wanted. When I met with our coordinator she got to know what I was looking for and what type of flowers I had and mind and was able to create beautiful arrangements. I couldn't imagine getting flowers from anywhere else.

Their products and service are excellent!

Beneva Flowers did an AMAZING job to make our wedding décor absolute perfection!! We had a unique request for our ceremony arch to be made of Palms, and it’s safe to say they absolutely nailed it… and even made the palms arch into a heart shape in the middle!!! It was beautiful and all of our guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers and palms were, even staying crisp and bright on a hot sunny day on the beach. A guest of ours had been a florist for over 25 years and she complimented me on all of our arrangements MULTIPLE times, and knowing the business, that was HUGE! The colors were vibrant, the flowers and arrangements we had were exactly what we wanted, and our bouquets and boutonnières were amazing!!! They were very accommodating and easy to work with, and for the quality that they provide, the price was right! We would definitely recommend them to any other couples looking for perfection in their wedding florist needs. Thanks again Beneva!! – Lisa & Paul Karrat, March 8, 2015

I just wanted to say thank you so very much for such an awesome job well done on my bridal bouquet. It's still very fresh until today, sitting in my room now, still smell very good. Everyone love my bouquet and keep commenting how fresh it is up until today! I told sand petal wedding I'm very happy with my flowers.

I chose Beneva Flowers based on a recommendation of my wedding ceremony planner. I live up north and was planning a beach wedding in Sarasota, Florida. If you've ever put together a destination wedding--then you know how stressful it can be to plan things from afar- only trusting online reviews. I met with Doris months prior to my wedding to get a better sense of what kind of flowers would work for the relatively small wedding we were planning (50 guests). My wedding colors were not very typical…I really wanted a deep, neon bright, turquoise color represented in the bouquets. Doris was extremely helpful at identifying what types of flowers would work well with my wedding colors. She kept in touch with me via e-mail in the months leading up to my wedding. A few weeks before, Doris and I went back and forth on final flower details. She was most accommodating at switching a few things around and putting some extra bling on my flowers. I just love the sparkle! She even added a shiny starfish brooch to my bouquet with a little bling mixed in the roses. I loved the creativity she had when it came to capturing my vision. On my wedding day, the flowers were delivered on time….and they all looked so beautiful! Everything was packaged so nicely. I don't know much about flowers, but I learned a lot during this process and Doris was with me every step of the way. If you are planning a wedding in the Sarasota area, I highly recommend you use Beneva Flowers. Hopefully, you'll be as lucky as I was to get Doris as your coordinator. I can't thank them enough for putting a huge smile on my face and my entire wedding party for the lovely work they did. They are a true gem…and they will not disappoint!

I recently got married on the beach in Venice, FL. I worked with Beneva over the phone. So I was very nervous that I wouldn't get what I was hoping for. However, WAS I WRONG! Stunning. They did an amazing job, not only was it exactly what I wanted and more, but the flowers were so fresh the center pieces last for weeks after! They didn't miss any detail what so ever. I asked for orchid's as my cake topper and they added extra on the tiers and they were spread around the cake table for that extra wow factor. Very happy, would use them again for any type of other event I need to have.

My flowers were so amazing. They were perfect. Doris helped us and she did a wonderful job. My bridesmaids bouquets were perfect. At fist we did not want to have too many flowers, we are so glad we had some for the tables and aisle. They added the perfect touch to the ceremony and the reception.

We chose beneva off of a recommended list of vendors from our wedding venue. I had a meeting with them while I was in town and then everything else was done online and on the phone. Everything arrived just like I expected, on time, and looked beautiful. We had a small wedding and used our own lanterns for centerpieces to save some money so the cost listed was for bouquets, bamboo arch with flowers, boutonnieres, and the flower girl pomander ball.

I loved Beneva. They were by far our easiest vendor to work with. Extremely kind, proficient, professional, and definitely great quality flowers. If I could rate higher than a 5 I would!

my flowers were to day for but there were some things that were not what we discussed with the ceremony. Everything else was gorgeous

Beneva Flowers did an amazingly beautiful job on my bouquets, centerpieces and other various floral arrangements. They were helpful and willing to think out-of-the-box to make my flowers unique.

The flowers for our wedding were everything I hoped for and then some. Doris accommodated all our needs, providing helpful suggestions for the kinds of flowers, coordination of colors and attention to detail. The result was a soft and elegant look that perfectly complemented our style and venue.

Beneva flowers amazed me. I cried when I saw my bouquet. My flowers for the wedding, reception and ceremony were absolutely beautiful. Doris was amazing at keeping me up to date being out of state and staff were so nice. They provided our ceremony decor for the beach and our guests loved everything! I was more than pleased with the flowers. They are so professional and one of a kind!

My husband and I were on a strict budget. We were debating whether to diy or have a florist do it. I got exactly what I wanted with none of the diy headache for a little more than what diy would have cost. I worked with Doris, and she made everything so easy. I was a destination bride, and all I had to do was send her pictures of what I wanted and she made it happen. I would definitely recommend this florist to anyone in the Sarasota area!

We were initially worried about ordering our bouquets and boutonnieres without having picked the flowers in person. When we received them we were speechless! They were perfect and on time!!! The flowers were all fresh and bright, and the details were flawless. I would assure any couple that they can be certain that Beneva will deliver the quality they promise. The flowers from the bouquet lasted a whole week after the wedding. And after an entire night of dancing, the fresh flowers I ordered for my hair were still looking great!
