We have always adored Benken and visit it frequently for plants, cut flowers, and community events/classes. Of course, they were the first thought we had for our florist! Robin went above and beyond to make sure that the flowers for our wedding were exactly as we had envisioned. I loved my bouquet so much that I am having it pressed to be part of our home forever. We got several compliments on our centerpieces and flowers on our cake as well. Our main color was dusty blue, which is not a common color for flowers. I was blown away with how Robin incorporated dusty blue into my bouquet while also adding gorgeous greenery. If you have not booked your venue yet, you should highly consider Benken as a venue. Our ceremony and reception were in the Benken Atrium. Having a wedding at a florist in greenhouse meant that the entire venue was absolutely beautiful in every space (and, part of the venue so we didn’t have to pay for all of the amazing plants and flowers!). Book Benken NOW!

For starters, have to confess that hubby and I had never even heard of them before our wedding. The way in which we discovered them was thanks to the work they do with our venue. They have a contract wherein they provide ALL centerpieces (including cocktail tables) for your event included in the package you choose from the start. Also have the ability/option to select them for the rest of your wedding florals, if we hadn’t already booked another main florist, we would have gone with Benken! We did have them do our stunning cake table arrangement too and the florals on the cake 🎂 itself, which were PERFECTION!!! The centerpieces turned out even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined and everyone was amazed at the fact they were live/real flowers. OF COURSE, for our wedding, that was the ONLY way to go for me personally given how much I LOVE them! The color for the light blue hydrangeas that I requested for half of the tables half candle 🕯 centerpieces WERE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. EXACT hue I was dreaming of to go with the stunning colors of our wedding (gold with varying hues of blue, light sky blue being the main with navy accent) and complementary to the venue. Robin was amazing to work with from the get-go and ensured that everything was exactly what we wanted throughout. She even called and sent an email about two weeks out from the wedding (4/16/2023) just to make absolutely certain! Couldn’t have had a better reception florist, and even just popping in there you’ll never have a bad experience. :)

We used Benken for all our wedding flowers because they have a partnership with our vendor and provided complementary centerpieces. We are so happy they were able to do the rest of our flowers, because everything turned out beautiful! They took all our suggestions into account and nailed our color scheme perfectly. My bouquet was beautiful and vibrant, and our arch decor doubled as table decor. Our florist was really helpful and sent us detailed instructions on how to hang the flowers. Everything was beautiful!

We had our daughter’s wedding at Benken last night. I cannot say enough about Robin and the entire staff. They truly went above and beyond making sure every detail was taken care of.

I had my ceremony and reception at Benkens and all I can say is wow! They went above and beyond to make the ceremony and reception space as beautiful as possible! I also went with them to do my flowers as well and I was not disappointed. My flowers exceeded my expectations and they were able to create exactly what I had imagined. Robin, Tracy, and the rest of the wedding crew were absolutely fabulous to work with. Robin was so helpful the day of the wedding with getting everyone lined up and making sure my dress looked beautiful right before I walked down the aisle! Also have to give a shout out to John and Lindsay for helping to make my vision come to life for the decorations for the venue. I would choose Benkens over and over again for my venue and flowers every day!

We went with Benken for our wedding florals because they created beautiful florals for my sister's wedding a couple years ago. Robin was attentive, gave suggestions, even texted me the day before to show me a sneak peak of how the arrangements turned out. The team was responsive, so helpful, and so wonderful. The centerpieces and bouquets turned out amazing and matched the exact vibe I was looking for based on my descriptions and a few inspiration pictures. I highly recommend using Benken!!!

We had a great experience working with Benken for our October wedding. Robin was so thoughtful and attentive with regards to my vision and inspiration for the flowers. She is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced -- I loved all her suggestions and ended up using nearly all of them! Everything ended up being so beautiful and fresh for our special day. Communication was easy as well. Thank you all so much! :)

WOW! Everything from the flowers in the aisle to my floral hair piece was absolutely stunning. From the moment I walked into Benkens, Robin made me feel the most comfortable and the most heard when it came to every detail of flowers for my wedding. Robin had amazing ideas and helped bring my ideas to life! I am very pleased with how professional, kind, and thorough this company is. I will be referring them to all of the future brides I know!

We worked with Janet for our wedding and she had minimal inspiration to work with. I wanted a lot of greenery and white flowers in my bouquets as well as all over my tables around the centerpieces and other tables. Janet did SO amazing at making the flowers A) easy to understand and visualize B)affordable and C)BEAUTIFUL!! We can't thank benken's enough for making our wedding so beautiful !

I really enjoyed how well Robin was able to help us come up with the best arrangements through my Pinterest ideas. She was able to combine favorite parts from different pictures to creat exactly what I wanted. Only issue was poor communication a few months before the wedding when I wanted to make changes.

Benken did a phenomenal job with our wedding bouquets and centerpieces. Robin was great at listening to what I was looking for and helping to perfect the pop of color I desired. She also sent pictures of the flowers the day before the wedding so that we could give a final thumbs up. Seeing the flowers in person was so impactful though, as they were even more gorgeous than the images she sent. I cannot wait to see our professional photos with the flowers as I know they added a beautiful element. You won’t be disappointed if you choose them!

Working with Benken Florist was simple and stress-free. I didn't know much about which flowers to choose or what type of arrangements to pick from. I was provided multiple selections in my price range and was shown pictures and a mock-up of what my bouquets would look like. I was very happy with the finished product and highly recommend them!

Thank you for helping make our day beautiful!

My wedding color was Tiffany blue. Since there aren't any flowers that are naturally that color, they helped me pick lavendar roses as a lovely accent color and also worked to incorporate some Tiffany blue elements into the arrangements, like the ribbon wrapped around my bouquet. I couldn't have been happier with the floral arrangements. The lavendar roses looked gorgeous with all of the Tiffany blue decorations that I had. Would definitely work with Benken again.

Everything was executed perfectly on the day of and the bouquets came out stunning! They were exactly what we'd talked about and came out more beautiful than I could've imagined. She even called after the wedding to make sure I was happy with how everything came out. Highly highly recommended!!

The floral arrangements that Robin and her team put together for our wedding were absolutely beautiful, full, and fresh! I provided Robin with a mix of "I want exactly this photo" on some of the arrangements and "I want these general colors.. help me turn this into something beautiful" on others and she delivered perfectly on both levels of detailed requests! Robin is extremely warm and friendly and provides her honest opinion on what will look good / ways to get the most out of your money. On the day of... they delivered to each location on time so I didn't even have to think about flowers until they showed up looking beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend using Benken Florist for your wedding.

Robin was incredible for the meetings and had so many ideas! We ended up only getting ferns and renting columns from them. The ferns were outstanding, very full, luscious, and a beautiful green!

Robin was super helpful when creating my flowers for my wedding. She did the centerpieces, which were simple and elegant, and then she also created our bouquets. My bridesmaids were pretty, but my bouquet was BEAUTIFUL! I received many compliments on it. The colors complemented each other so well and the arrangement was perfect.
About 10 days before our wedding, I realized that I needed flowers to decorate the ceremony space and fake flowers just were not looking right. I called Robin and asked if she could put together some things on such short notice, and she did! I asked her to just use the colors from my bouquet and make whatever, and she rocked it! These flowers made our ceremony look perfect! I did not even envision them looking that beautiful! All of this was done at an extremely reasonable price, too!
I definitely recommend using Benken's!

I absolutely loved working with Robin!!! At the first meeting I told her the types of flowers I was thinking about and she would run in the back and add them to a bouquet so I could actually see what it would look like. I went to a lot of different florists and only she actually assembled a bouquet as we discussed options. You get EXACTLY what you envisioned and for me that was so special and important! She has so much knowledge to share and actually steered me away from a flower because it would be really fragile and the blooms usually come off- she was the ONLY florist to offer tips and tricks like that. Everything came out PERFECT and I couldn't recommend her more for those brides that know what they want!!!

I was so pleased with H.J. Benken as my wedding florist! From first meeting with Robin, I was at ease. I showed her a couple of pictures that I liked, and she immediately knew what I wanted. I loved how she explained different flowers (since I have no knowledge of this whatsoever), and going to a different florist afterwards, I felt like I knew all these flowers from previously coming from Benken! It was a no-brainer after comparing florists who I should use. Communication was simple, and the result was phenomenal. Robin sent me pictures of the bouquets the day before the wedding, and I loved that! There was a slight mix up on the wedding day, and before I could even blink, Robin was at my venue fixing what was missing from my bouquet. She also followed up in the following weeks to make sure I was satisfied. I could not say enough great things about H.J Benken!

H.J. Benken was so delightful to work with. I actually had won flowers from them for Valentine's Day, and because of that decided to set up a consult for my wedding flowers. The consult was probably 6 most after I won the flowers. I walked in for my consult and they remembered I won the flowers! I was amazed that they remembered and I thought to myself that this company truly cares about their customers. Based on that alone, I knew I wanted to book them for my wedding. Robin was so helpful, along with the rest of the H.J. Benken crew. My flowers were so beautiful and I got so many compliments. They even dried out beautifully. Thank you so much, H.J. Benken!

Robin did a wonderful job helping me figure out what I wanted in my flowers and centerpieces. I was truly lost before I had my consultation with her, but she was INCREDIBLY patient and helped me brainstorm ideas by showing me pictures of past events and throwing in personal advice. she was adaptable when I brought in items I wanted in my centerpiece and offered honest opinions when she thought things would work really well or if they wouldn't match. The delivery team arrived promptly and left us really clear instructions on how to move the decorations if we had to move to plan B due to the weather (which we did have to make that last minute decisions). Overall, the staff at Benken's was so easy to work with and extremely helpful - we would recommend them for any event!

We used Benkens for our wedding on May 6th. Robin did such a wonderful job of taking my ideas and making them beautiful. I was very laid back about what flowers I wanted to use, just knew colors. She showed me a couple different options and I knew I would like them all the day of the wedding. When our flowers showed up that day, I was so excited and loved how they looked all evening long. I can't be thankful enough for Robin and her team for making our flowers a beautiful part of our wedding day.

H.J. Benken works with Oasis where we had our wedding. They're included in our package for centerpieces. The centerpieces were amazing and we had a good selection of options included with our package. Of course, you could upgrade for more elaborate centerpieces but I was very happy with the ones included. We also had them do our bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and our colonnade topper. I was so impressed with how well it all turned out! I didn't really giver her much to go on and she far exceeded my expectations! My bouquet was so gorgeous! The colonnade topper was stunning and went so well with the colors I'd chosen! I highly recommend them.

I had such a hard time finding a florist I liked, it was the only aspect I really struggled with during planning. Then, I met with Robyn at H.J Benken! I absolutely loved the level of professionalism yet everything still felt so personalized. My flowers were STUNNING. I loved bouquets for the bridesmaids and I as well as the boutonnières for all the guys. Every single guest mentioned that they LOVED the centerpieces and several people commented that they loved their size because they could see each other! Thank you so much H.J Benken!!

I had gotten a quote from another vendor and didn't get a great impression on their internal communication or timeliness. H.J Benken was on my shortlist and decided to reach out to them with only only 4 weeks to go before our wedding. I was able to get an appointment that same day. Robin took nearly 2 hours to go through options with me to ensure that I got something I would be happy with. Some colors and flowers were out of season by my date, and she made suggestions for alternatives that would give me the same feel. The flowers were PERFECT! I had used a shell casing for the groom's boutonniere , and cut beer bottles for centerpieces; I just dropped them off and she and her team took care of the rest. The price was well within our conservative budget for a guest list of 200. I would highly recommend them for their quality, responsive and creating an overall pleasant experience.

Our wedding was 9/25/2015. We worked with H.J. Benken initially because our center pieces came with our reception package but after meeting with Robin, we had no reason to go anywhere else. We did price out other vendors but the level of customer service sold us. Robin was very helpful and extremely flexible. When it came to flowers, originally I wanted just the basics. I updated our order a good 3 times. Each time I made a change Robin and her team were responsive and so kind. Our flowers & center pieces were everything we hoped for and more. They gained a customer for life out of us due to the AMAZING services they provided.

I highly recommend Robin at Benkens. Going in, I really only knew that I wanted red roses in my bouquet & was thrilled to find a rose that matched my color swatch exactly in their cut flowers cooler while my mom and I waited on our appointment. I mentioned it to Robin upon meeting her, and she knew right away it was a Freedom Rose. Other than that I really had no idea what to pick for my maid of honor's bouquet (only 1 attendant, small wedding), reception table centerpieces, or ceremony flowers. Robin offered great suggestions showing us several examples that they had on hand and also photos online. She listened to our questions and concerns and met with me in person 2 weeks later to answer my questions before finalizing the contract.
I never felt like she pressured us to buy more than we needed and when we decided we would need a few more plants or arrangements for the ceremony 2 days before, she suggested adding a few more ferns which was much less expensive vs. cut flower arrangements and worked well.
The quality of the flowers was excellent and delivery was on time.
I met with one other florist and there was no comparison. Robin and the other women in the Benkens wedding department know what they are doing.

We used H.J. Benken for our wedding ceremony/reception flowers. I am someone who is not very familiar with flowers. I really needed someone who had a lot of experience to help me pick out what we wanted. I definitely found that at H.J. Benken! Robin helped us during our initial appointment. You could really tell how experienced she was, and she did an excellent job of helping us pick out the flowers that we wanted. The flowers were delivered on time and set up for us the day of. They looked absolutely beautiful! I was very pleased with H.J. Benken and would recommend them for your Wedding Day flower needs!
