They were very easy to work with and we absolutely loved the flowers! They answered all of our questions and the day went seamlessly.
We got married in June of 2024 and used Cherry Brandy designs as our florist. Joann was my initial contact who I planned our arrangements with. I know very little about flowers and Joann did an excellent job guiding me through the process. She got to know my taste and developed a proposal that really worked with the rest of the wedding and our budget. On the day of the wedding the flowers were the perfect complement to the day. They nailed the aesthetic I was aiming for and promptly delivered the bouquets and arrangements to the venue exactly on time. They were wonderful and easy to work with. Would recommend them to anyone.
JoAnn was great to work with and so accommodating. The flowers were all fresh and the bouquets were beautiful. Highly recommend!
Any questions?
JoAnn was such a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. She understood my vision and brought it to life even better than what I could have imagined! Thank you so so much!!
I enjoyed working with Joann and her team. they were kind and professional. The pieces they created for the centerpieces, arch, and bouquets were all beautiful and came together nicely. The pieces were beautiful for my winter wedding! Overall, I was pleased with the work and absolutely loved my bouquet!
My husband and I cannot thank cherry brand designs and their team enough for putting together our beautiful winter wonderland floral arrangements from our wedding. The flowers were beautiful and fresh! From the centerpieces, bouquets and all the unique touches. Joanne really got our picture of what we wanted , the colors , the different flowers, the whole theme and answered all our questions and more!! Their team set up our ceremony flowers and refurnished them for our sweetheart table. You cannot go wrong with that! And a plus is that they’re so friendly and reasonable! Thank you again for everything you put together for our beautiful day! It does not go unnoticed:)
Mr & Mrs Scott
TLDR: Beautiful, fresh flowers take a well-organized team! The Cherry Brandy team was just that, and they executed perfectly.
The Deets:
It was so easy to work with this team! I loved our consultation, that's where everything came together. It was collaborative and generative, giving my husband and I the chance to be a part of the process while learning about what would be in season to execute our vision.
We wanted simple but lush florals and greens for our wedding. The venue itself was so beautiful that we really just wanted to complement it and bring in some forest-y magic. The CBD team listened to this vision and worked with me to realize it seasonally and in-budget.
On our wedding day I can only assume everything went perfectly because it all looked beautiful to me! Everything was done with great attention and felt so organized (especially upon packup the next day!). I had brought a ton of vintage bottles to use for our centerpieces groupings. CBD treated them with care and were able to utilize so many of what I had brought, with a number of the extras being placed around the venue to help accent the space.
It was an extra treat to see the team briefly as they were finishing up. Such beautiful smiles to come upon after the ceremony and one-on-one time on our way to reception! Thank you Cherry Brandy Designs!

I cannot say enough nice things about JoAnne and her team. From our first phone call I could tell that we would be taken care of. JoAnne was able to tell us exactly how to create our vision within our budget and everything she said came to light. But more importantly, I was able to call JoAnne the day before my wedding during a flash flood asking for help with an arch that my venue could no longer provide due to the weather. JoAnne sprang into action and had something for us the next day. The weather ended up turning out, but their ability to have something just in case made me feel so much more comfortable. I couldn't recommend them enough!
JoAnn and her team are amazing. Easy to work with and delivered beautiful flowers. I added a last minute ceremony piece and left it in their hands and it did not disappoint. I even kept most of the bouquets for my thanksgiving centerpieces a week later. If you are looking for a great florist Cherry Brandy Designs is your go to.
JoAnn and her team were phenomenal to work with. On the day of the girls arrived promptly and set up everything quickly, as well as repurposed the arch to decorate our sweetheart, cake, and card/gift table. Everything looked really beautiful. As for JoAnn herself, I don't know where to begin. Brides - as you know florals are VERY expensive, and JoAnn provided us our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonniere, aisle and arch decor for a very reasonable price. As mentioned, she told me on our first call she would repurpose the ceremony arch garland and flowers to use on our sweetheart table instead of trying to charge me for an additional piece. Last minute, I realized I did not have an arch for the garland and she rented me one for a reasonable price as well. She also changed the date for us to go up to look at the centerpieces and finalize our order because it was the weekend of my bridal shower. She was so accommodating, but also very kind throughout this whole process, providing me with reassurance when I got stressed and listened to all of my concerns when I was overwhelmed. In the end, she followed through on everything she promised, and did so with a genuine warmth and love in her heart for the work she does. JoAnn, thank you so much for everything - so grateful for you!
JoAnn and her designers were such a pleasure to work with! They were able to take my ideas and create the most beautiful arrangements. As someone who loves plants and flowers, I felt that what they created was beyond my expectations. Being able to meet with them in their studio and see the centerpieces beforehand was also extremely helpful! When my husband and I went, their warm and down-to-earth nature made it a pleasant and fun experience. In addition, the high quality of the flowers they used clearly showed as my bouquet still looked pristine the day after the wedding. We so appreciate how you all were able to make our big day ever more special. We would highly recommend Cherry Brandy Designs to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding!
Absolutely floored by JoAnn and her team. The flowers were beautiful. The team was so nice and easy to work with. Book with Cherry Brandy, you won't be disappointed.
I recently got married on 07/15/23 and used Cherry Brandy Designs for my florals. Joanne was absolutely amazing start to finish. From our first conversation on the phone I could tell how passionate she was about her work. I didn't have much of a vision for florals other than liking white and greenery and Joanne dreamt up the absolute perfect vision for us and our venue. She also created the most detailed proposal including my inspiration photos, color scheme, and break down of the different flowers she would use. Joanne was very responsive via email throughout the entire process. From the arbor, to the tables, to the bouquets, everything was absolutely stunning. She even stayed to repurpose the arbor flowers to be used at our sweetheart table at the reception. I cannot recommend Cherry Brandy Designs enough!

Thank you Sarah! It was our pleasure to provide beautiful flowers for your wedding! I also really enjoyed working with your Aunt! My team and I wish you a lifetime of happiness 🌸
JoAnn and her ladies were such a pleasure to work with! Their pricing fit into my budget perfectly and all of the flowers were incredibly gorgeous! Communication could not have been better, JoAnn even went out of her way to ensure our trial appointment fit into my busy schedule. Our venue looked so beautiful and I am so glad that we made the decision to work with CBD.
Jo-Ann and her team at Cherry Brandy Design provided the most beautiful florals for our April wedding. From our first meeting with her, she instantly got our vision and put together a perfect proposal. When we saw it all come to life at our wedding, we were floored. Everyone we came in contact with was professional, kind and warm. We definitely recommend them!
Joann and her team are absolutely incredible. Our wedding day was already an extremely special day, but became even more special once they arrives with our beautiful bouquets. We then arrived at the venue and i was blown away by our wedding arbor. It came out SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL then i could ever imagine and i still have chills thinking about it. What a dream come true, quite literally. Joann was incredibly accomodating and very reasonably prices. These flowers were totally worth it! Thank you so much Joann and team for making my husband and I's dreams a reality.
Cherry Brandy Designs provided beautiful flowers/greenery for our wedding venue. They set up the outdoor decor on the arch for our ceremony, set up all reception table decor and also decorated our cake the day of the wedding. Very professional and worked closely with us to provide a custom detailed floral package. We would highly recommend this vendor!
JoAnn was absolutely wonderful, she was upfront and honest. Something my wife and I really appreciated as well as the beautiful flower arrangements. She made suggestions with other areas of our wedding and pointed us in the right direction when we had issues with other vendors. We planned our wedding from Florida and it went as smooth as it could go thanks to people like this that we were blessed to work with. We can't say enough about this vendor and all good things at that.
JoAnn and everyone at CBD were absolutely amazing. They made the process incredibly easy and stress-free and really listened to what me and my partner wanted. The flowers at our ceremony and reception were breathtaking and they surprised me with a beautiful floral tribute to my late grandmother. I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day so special- your work really tied together the entire venue and I am so happy that I chose you as my vendor! You absolutely have my highest recommendation.
Joann and her team were a delight to work with! Great communication and affordable pricing for beautiful flowers. Definitely a great choice!
Cherry Brandy Designs was the best priced florals I could find and absolutely stunning! Every interactions I had with the company was fast and really kind and easy to work with. They did an absolutely amazing job on the florals. I cannot recommend them enough!
When the flowers came they far exceeded my expectations. When I look back at wedding photos I keep commenting on how gorgeous the flowers all look. My bouquet was so gorgeous that I got a painting of it commissioned afterwards.
HIRE THIS COMPANY FOR FLORALS! You won't regret it.
I had a very specific vision for florals on our special day and Cherry Brandy exceeded my expectations. JoAnn was extremely accommodating on making adjustments throughout my two year engagement. She made sure to note specifically the flowers I wanted and aesthetic. So many people commented on how beautiful our flowers looked at our wedding. I can’t thank her and the team enough!
This is the best florist. Joann and her team were so helpful from the first interaction to the day of the wedding (May 29th). The flowers were amazing and everything that I wanted.
JoAnn and her team are the real deal! Joanne was so helpful and with me every step of the way. She’s more than just a florist she’s a friend. I highly recommend her because she truly cares about what she’s doing. My flowers turned out gorgeous the day of my wedding.
Cherry Brandy Designs ( Joanne) and her team were amazing to work with. She made sure I was absolutely happy 100% with the flowers and centerpieces. Even if that meant having extra meetings. The day of my wedding I was absolutely in love of how everything turned out!
Everything was perfect! The flowers were exactly what I wanted, they listened to what I didn’t want, the flowers were fresh, bright, sturdy. It was my dream come true. Joann was absolutely fabulous.
JoAnn and her team are the absolute best! From our first meeting with them, they ensured we had every detail covered and worked with us to make our vision come to life. We really appreciated their expertise and honest opinions about flower choices while staying within our budget range. After needing to reschedule our wedding two times, their team remained flexible and was sure to check in with us along the way. We ended up getting married in October in Upstate NY and the flowers could not have been more gorgeous or perfect. The team was timely and made sure everything was perfect for both the ceremony and reception. We loved working with them and would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Joanne was a perfect fit for me. I explained my vision and later that night she sent me a proposal. The proposal included very specific detailed information, pictures and pricing. The pricing is exactly what I expected for the vision I had. I left her office after my first meeting and was completely comfortable knowing she had everything under control. I honestly had lost hope and was considering doing my own centerpieces until I met her. I am so grateful I was able to find her and had no worries on my wedding day. Thank you! Your staff and you are wonderful.

Thank you for your beautiful words!! It was a pleasure working with you also!!
JoAnn and her team are the best. Super pleasant to work with and really helped to capture our vision. We were super pleased with everything created for us, and we would highly recommend CBD to anyone.

Thanks Emily! It was our pleasure to work with you and Dale! Best wishes as you start your new “adventure”!! Keep in touch!
Our wedding was 10/30/21. We had the BEST time ever. JoAnn was awesome to work with and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. Whenever we needed to make adjustments to our flowers she was willing and able to help! We got SO many compliments on our bouquets, they were everything I envisioned and more!!
Cherry Brandy Designs were absolutely wonderful!! the flowers were everything we had wished and hoped for! we can't thank them enough for their Wonderful service!
out of all the vendors i worked with for my wedding, Cherry Brandy Designs was by far the best one. they were available at any time i needed to chat about anything, they reached out to me regularly to perfect small little details. it’s a stressful process, and they kept me informed about every little thing through the whole process. they were a dream to work with. if you’re having a wedding anywhere in the upper half of new york (or even any of the surrounding areas) you’re an idiot if you don’t have them do your wedding.
JoAnn and Cherry Brandy Designs brought our wedding floral vision to life! With COVID throwing a wrench in our wedding plans, JoAnn helped every step of the way, even with a change of colors after postponing from Fall to Spring. Our flowers complimented the venue perfectly and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much!

Jaclyn & Michael!!! Thanks so much!! It was an absolute joy to work with you to create your beautiful decor! Wishing you all the best!
JoAnn is so lovely and easy to work with - she is very passionate about the flowers and is knowledgeable about wedding planning too. Our arrangements were beautiful and complimented the wedding venue perfectly. She is also willing to help meet your vision and your budget .

Thanks Melissa & Thanh! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!!
JoAnn and her team were so wonderful to work with! From the start of our wedding planning in 2018 and through all the pandemic changes that we had to make (multiple date changes and venue changes) they stuck with us to the end. The day ended up being absolutely beautiful and I cannot thank Cherry Brandy Designs enough for the absolutely stunning floral arrangements for our ceremony and reception. JoAnn was so easy to talk with, so quick to respond to any questions, and gave advice that made the wedding planning process go much smoother. I highly recommend JoAnn and her team for your wedding!

Thank you Kelly! It was our pleasure to work with you and Alex!! Always be as happy as you were on your wedding day! 🌸
JoAnn was a pleasure to work with. She perfectly encompassed my vision of a winter wedding and worked with my budget. The flowers were beautiful and I highly recommend them!
Response from the Vendor on 03/21/2021
Thanks Elizabeth! Your wedding was so beautiful!
JoAnn and her team are a dream! We booked JoAnn as our florist with our original wedding plans. When COVID impacted those plans and we had to replan, JoAnn was there for us! We ended up booking JoAnn as our Coordinator as well. We could go on and on about how perfect everything was from all the absolutely gorgeous flowers and bouquets to the beautiful staging of the reception and trust us, we have been because like our family and friends, we were BLOWN away! Our wedding day was perfect and most of all, stress-free because JoAnn and her team knew our vision, made sure it came to life and, handled anything that came up throughout the day. JoAnn was honest and refreshing to work with, and always so supportive during a stressful time. We can't thank her and her team enough for making our day unforgettable, but can recommend you book her!

Thank you Shelby!! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you, Mike, your families and vendors! We all with you both a lifetime of love & happiness ❤️
JoAnn is the best! From our first phone call, she was so warm and honest which made the experience a great one. She helped me maximize what we could get in our budget and never pushed for things were unnecessary and would set us over. She knew our venue, West Hills Country Club, well so her guidance on where to spend our money was greatly appreciated. For our flower trial, JoAnn and Heidi got my vision spot on and were great at explaining which flowers would be in season and in helping to choose backups if needed. The day of, I didn't get to see JoAnn and her team much, but they did an amazing and beautiful job! Our wedding was in November, and I wanted fall colors without being too Thanksgiving-like. I was thrilled with how perfect everything turned out. I would recommend Cherry Brandy any day of the week. JoAnn was truly a pleasure to work with!

Thanks so much for your very kind words! Your wedding was beautiful, Jessica! It was your vision. We simply created it. We wish you and Matt a lifetime of happiness! 💖🌸
Our daughter was married on September 1, 2019, and we had hired JoAnn as our wedding planner. From the beginning we knew we were in very capable hands, and it seemed to truly be a match made in heaven! The wedding went perfectly, right down to the very last detail. One of it's most beautiful aspects were the flowers - from the arrangements both inside and outside the venue, where the ceremony took place, to the flowers for the bride and groom and their bridal parties, as well as those for the members of the immediate families. They were not just simply beautiful - they were gorgeous, totally freshly cut, in keeping with the season and the color scheme, very well constructed and expertly arranged. The compliments flowed throughout the entire wedding as to how magnificent they were! And, of the two arrangements that I took home after the wedding, many of the flowers lasted for another month when placed in water. I highly recommend JoAnn and the entire team at Cherry Brandy Designs, and would not hesitate to call on them for any of my floral needs!!
Words cannot express how amazing Joann and her team are! They brought to life my vision and far exceeded every expectation I had! Every detail was perfect! I swear, no need to look any further! CBD is it! The best florist in the Hudson Valley!!!!
Cherry Brandy Designs is WONDERFUL. JoAnn and her great team of creative hardworking women are the best. They sat with us and really listened to what we wanted. Step by step we worked through making our day very special. I was taken back when they arrived at our venue and I saw the tables with their creations; just perfect. We decided to have our guests be part of the ceremony and help hand me the bouquet of flowers as I walked down the aisle; JoAnn and her team assisted our bridal party in assuring everything went smoothly.
Can't say enough about them; fun to work with, very reasonable and very professional.
JoAnn was simply amazing to work with! I couldn't be happier with the flowers she put together for our wedding. I immediately knew I wanted JoAnn to be a part of our big day after our first phone call. After talking with her and sending her over a few pictures I had in mind, she emailed me a detailed proposal, outlining my vision and turning it into reality. She promptly responded to all my emails- even if it was just to tell me she was on vacation, which I really appreciated. She was always ready to answer all my questions, stay within my budget, and let me know the pros and cons to any flower that I asked about. The bouquets she crafted were simply beautiful. My girls and I received so many compliments on them. JoAnn truly knows what she is doing and is a pleasure to work with!
Working with Joann and Heidi was a truly wonderful experience. When we began talking about flowers, we had no idea what we wanted. I basically saved a hundred pins on Pinterest of things i thought looked cool - i do not have an eye for floral decor. We talked to Joann in the very beginning, and her ability to translate my rambling into an actual flower proposal was incredible. We made a lot of alterations along the way, and cherry brandy was willing and happy to adjust with every change. They’re also no nonsense and very straightforward, which we absolutely loved. They also responded to my unhinged emails throughout the entire process, all of my stupid questions (again, not a floral designer), and maybe most importantly created absolutely stunning pieces- our guests took pictures of each and every mantel they decorated. They were definitely one of the highlights of our wedding planning. Give Joann a call and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Katie & Paul... first of all, thank you for your very kind words! Working with you is any floral designers dream!! You are both such genuine people. We had lots of fun along this journey!! Thank you for entrusting us with such an important ...
day ❤️
Cherry brandy designs know how to make the com-jumbled thoughts in your head into an absolute masterpiece!! Every piece came out beautifully!! They were so amazing to work with and so easy to talk to! With my indecisive mind, Joann was so patient and understanding and there for me every step of the way! You will not be disappointed by their hardwork!
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2019
Carly!! Thanks so much! You made our job so easy! You are a beauty, inside & out! ❤️
JoAnn is one of the most incredible people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. From my bridal shower to my wedding our flowers were the most gorgeous arrangements I have ever seen. I am a very picky, attention to detail kind of person and it was fate that brought me to JoAnn and her team. She took my vision and brought it to life, in an even more gorgeous way than I could have ever imagined. The flowers were fresh and beautiful and the colors were exactly what we wanted. I’m still getting compliments about our centerpieces. If you need flowers for any occasion, look no further, you need JoAnn. ❤️❤️
*pictures to come 💕
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2019
Oh Marcie!! Thanks for allowing me to become a part of your “family”!! You and Matt are the best! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness ❤️
Though I decided to save on flowers by doing them myself, JoAnn was wonderful to work with. If budget was not an issue, I would have loved to have used her services. From the moment that I contacted her, she did everything possible to make my vision come to life and work with my budget. I especially loved the program she used to show me what my flowers could look like!
I don't even know where to start!! From the very beginning working with JoAnn and her team was as easy as could be. They are so sweet and were so helpful in creating the vision for our wedding day flowers. Then when the day finally came and the wonderful Heidi delivered them, I was completely blown away. The flowers were so fresh and so gorgeous and the arrangements were incredible. My guests could not stop complimenting on how incredible they were. Truly a dream come true!!!! Thank you Cherry Brandy Designs for helping making our day perfect!
JoAnn was my saving grace during my wedding last weekend. When I learned my father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and if I wanted him to be there to walk me down the aisle, I would need to plan a wedding in 2 months. The first day I met JoAnn, I told her my story and she let me sob my eyes out in her office. I believe everything happens for a reason and God sent me to JoAnn that day because he knew I needed her, even when I did not. She promised me my wedding would be amazing and she would make sure of it! Planning a wedding in 2 months is an impossible task, but with JoAnn's help and guidance, it all came together. Even when our officiant backed out a week before the wedding, she set us up to make sure that was also taken care. The day came and my flowers couldn't have been more beautiful. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and table settings were a beautiful blue,even in the middle winter. JoAnn was my florist, but I am proud to now consider her a close friend who I will forever be indebted to for helping a girl get walked down the aisle by her dad💕
JoAnn and her team were amazing and really worked with me to find the floral arrangements I really loved in my budget. My centerpieces were stunning! JoAnn also gave me practical, sensible tips such as for me to use my bridesmaid's bouquets to decorate the bar after the ceremony. JoAnn always got back to me to right away with any questions I had. The colors of my floral arrangements were exactly what I envisioned. She also made picking up the flowers the day of the wedding so easy for my family to set up. Cherry Brandy Designs really helped my wedding to be extra elegant and beautiful. I would highly recommend Cherry Brandy Designs to do your floral arrangements for your wedding as I was exceptionally pleased with the price, the kindness of JoAnn and her employees, and their true expertise in floral designs!
My experience with Cherry Brandy Designs was above and beyond! Their flowers were absolutely stunning! The team listened to my all of my ideas and implemented to perfection. The team was extremely accommodating and I would work with them again in a heart beat! Visit their Facebook, I’ll include pictures!
All the flowers were perfect. They fit the scene great. They really stood out in pictures and made everything look stunning.
I can't say enough great things about the team at Cherry Brandy. they listened to everything we wanted and really took it to heart when creating our floral pieces. the bouquets we're stunning, our centerpieces flawless, and even the groomsmens boutonnieres-which they even put into bullet casing pins my now husband made- were just perfect. they also crafted pieces that served dual purposes which saved us money AND didn't waste flowers. they we communicative and very easy to work with. highly recommend!!
JoAnn and the girls were all so amazing! Excellent communication throughout selecting our floral design for our wedding! And my vision went exactly into the design and the staff created it perfectly! The delivery was on time too so I had nothing to worry about! I’ve already recommended others to use Cherry Brandy and will continue to do so!
Joann and her designer did an amazing job with flowers arrangements for our wedding. I wanted something organic looking and a little moody - I gave her some images of what I was looking for... changed my mind 20 times, and she was so accommodating and gave me exactly the look I was going for. I also wanted to provide the vases for the table arrangements and she never said boo to anything. I also wanted minimal flowers on chairs during the ceremony and was limited in budget - she worked with me on some suggestions to decrease cost and everything turned out looking perfect. I had a great experience!
From the first phone call we had with JoAnn, we knew she was the perfect florist for our August wedding at Onteora Mountain House. I didn’t know much about flower names, but I knew my style vision. JoAnn listened, offered advice, and shared in my excitement. Her attitude wasn’t fake like some other vendors I had encountered, and she didn’t try to upsell me to run up my bill. We ordered my bridal bouquet, 9 bridesmaid bouquets, 13 boutonnieres, 1 corsage, 3 ceremony arrangements with vases and columns, scattered rose petals, submerged arrangements with floating candles for various stations, 15 centerpieces, and a garland for the sweetheart table. On the wedding day, I was ecstatic to find that my vision had turned to reality, because Cherry Brandy listened, understood, and followed through. Everything was beautiful! We recommend them to all couples in the area.
We cannot be happier with how Cherry Brandy Designs made our special day into a fairytale! JoAnn and her team were phenomenal and really made this process so special. Our arrangements were so beautiful and vibrant, Eric and I wish that they would stay alive forever. They were so accommodating with our quirky details and made those details come to fruition and were executed flawlessly. Thank you for everything, JoAnn and team!
My wedding is still 37 days away but I have to leave a review. The past year of planning my wedding has been insane - I have been through probably more than most brides will. But, I have to say that JoAnn has been the one person who has gone above and beyond to keep me sane. Not only is she an incredible florist, she has become a really great friend. With most vendors, you talk at your consultation, when a payment is due and at your final confirmation. JoAnn is different - she checks in with me every few weeks to see how I'm feeling, how I'm doing and if there is anything she help with - above and beyond from the flowers. She has driven 45 minutes to meet me close to home so that I didn't have to go far for all of our meetings. She has given me tips and advice on so many different aspects of my wedding planning and everything that she has told me.. she's been 100% right about! She knows this business and the ins and outs of the industry. It's like having someone on the inside to tell you what's worth the money and what isn't, what's worth the stress and what's worth just letting go. She is more than a florist - she is a wedding planner, confidant, voice of reason and a truly genuine person. JoAnn - I simply can not thank you enough for all of your continued love and support throughout this journey. Thank you a million times over!!!! If you don't go with JoAnn you will be disappointed.
I have OCD and I researched every single vendor within 100 miles of the Hudson Valley - NY, NJ, PA, CT, etc. I met with a dozen of them and priced out more than half of them. No one's quality, price and character even compare to CBD. Stop wasting your time researching everyone else and go with JoAnn! You get well beyond your money's worth and you will not be disappointed!

I love you Nicole!! I can not wait for your wedding to get here! I’ll make sure it’s the most beautiful day of your lives together! 💕💕💕
Cherry Brandy Designs did the flowers for our ceremony and reception, and working with JoAnn was such a planner. A wedding planner by trade, she saw a gap in the floral industry as far as the service provided and what is generally required by most brides - and decided to fill it herself. And she goes above and beyond, meeting with us twice and putting together a whole prospectus of what we chose - which includes pictures to give you an idea of what she's thinking. It's so helpful to get that visual and make sure you're all on the same page. Everything was on time, and the flowers lasted beautifully all day - thank you for doing such a great job!
Cherry Brandy Designs did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job for our wedding! The quality and size of the flowers was exceptional and the arrangements were vibrant, elegant and stunning. Every expectation I had was exceeded a thousand times over. I cried from happiness when the bouquets were brought in to my bridal suite. It was everything I had ever dreamed of, created with such limited and obscure information from myself (how exactly do you describe the emotions and atmosphere that flowers can create???). Everyone commented on how they were the most beautiful wedding flowers they had ever seen, and it is not an exaggeration. On top of all of this, they were so affordable! My wedding day was an absolute fairytale, in no small part due to the hard work and incredible talents of the florists at Cherry Brandy Designs.
Working with Cherry Brandy designs was just the icing on top of the cake. They listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered the most beautiful flowers I could have ever dreamed of. Everything was perfect down to the petals on the table and I can't say thank you enough!!!
I honestly could not have been happier with the flowers for our wedding!!! I am not a rose or fancy flower gal.....I wanted them to be natural...like I went into a field and picked them. They went above my expectations!! They were beautiful and so many compliments!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you JoAnn and team for my beautiful flowers. My wedding was beautiful because of the beautiful flowers JoAnn put together. I consulted with other floral designers and none compared to the service and professionalism JoAnn gave me. JoAnn was organized and detailed and the price was also reasonable. I described my vision and showed JoAnn pictures and JoAnn captured my Vision. The centerpieces were breath taking. My outside ceremony was simple and elegant just the way I wanted it. My cocktail hour tables and my cake table looked gorgeous. JoAnn and her team are amazing and I highly recommend them. Thank you JoAnn.
Thank you JOANN and Staff! It really felt so easy and relaxed from the beginning, nothing ever seemed a problem at all. We were always kept informed throughout the whole process. JoAnn is really helpful and really easy to work with. They made our wedding experience straightforward and enjoyable. From start to finish she answered any questions we had putting our minds at ease and made planning our wedding not only a stress free experience but also an enjoyable one. Her recommendations are the best! She truly knows her stuff.
We will have more celebrations just so we can work with her again.
You're the best!

Working with Joann and her team at cherry brandy designs was a fantastic experience. Not only was she such a calming person to settle differences between my daughter and I, her ideas were fantastic. We used her for flowers, candy bar and lighting behind the sweetheart table. Everything was absolutely stunning. Cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Joann!
Our wedding flowers came out beautifully!
I was so pleased to see our flowers when they came in the morning of the wedding. They were so beautiful and we got a handful of compliments on them. I live out of state and had only had one chance to look at flower options in person. Cherry Brand Designs did a great job taking our changes and suggestions into account. They will also repurpose your flowers from the ceremony to the reception venue which is a great way to save money.
Let me begin by saying that the start of our wedding day was chaos. Several of the people in the bridal party were not where they were suppose to be when they were suppose to be there. We was unable to meet the girls who dropped off the flowers but my matron of honor did. She said they were nice and happy. The bouquets were delivered with vases and water to the Inn and the table settings were delivered to our venue on time and in perfect condition. The flowers were beautiful. The way JoAnn arranged them was exactly what I wanted. We had yellow sunflowers, red daisies, orange ranunculus and white freesias and some greenery. The colors were so balanced, the flower sizes compliments each other with the sunflowers being just large enough to take center stage but so not large that they overwhelmed the arrangements and the bouquets themselves were the perfect size. JoAnn is super nice and awesome to work with. We spoke to her on the phone and through email and she was always quick to answer questions and was very flexible. When I changed my mind about one flower choice and was unsure what to replace it with she suggested the freesias and they were perfect. We've received so many compliments on the flowers and even now when showing people photos they tell me they love the flowers. We highly recommend JoAnn and her team for any of your floral needs. They do professional work, they care about the customer and their products show this dedication. If we ever need a florist in the future we will definitely call JoAnn!
I had absolutely no reason to doubt JoAnn and Cherry Brandy Designs when I booked them as my flower vendor in February for my June 10, 2017 wedding. They had rave reviews and beautiful pictures, and JoAnn was incredibly accommodating. However, I had a low budget (which JoAnn was willing to work with me on) and every picture I sent them was straight from Pinterest—certainly there was no way the flowers I would pick up for my wedding day could be as amazing as the pictures I sent JoAnn for inspiration. But WOW, did JoAnn and her ladies deliver! My bouquet was, quite honestly, the most beautiful bridal bouquet I have ever seen, and was even MORE stunning than the Pinterest images I had sent over! The bridesmaids bouquets, smaller version of mine, were just as beautiful, as were the pew bouquets that we hung at the church. The buckets of eucalyptus and greens for the table runners (which we picked up and put together ourselves the day before the wedding to save money) were lush and plentiful. Throughout my entire experience in working with JoAnn, she was always quick to respond and super flexible and accommodating of my every need. Everyone at Cherry Brandy Designs is incredibly talented... I cannot recommend them enough!
The flowers were absolutely beautiful. Every detail was exactly as we hoped! The chapel was gorgeous and the flowers were then reused at the cocktail hour room - the only vendor that offered to move them. The reception looked amazing as well! We truly could not have asked for a better florist!
I was BEYOND impressed with the work that Cherry Brandy Designs did for our wedding!!! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! The colors were perfect for our November wedding, and Joann and her team set up the bouquets and centerpieces effortlessly. They worked with me until I found the perfect centerpiece dish. (I can be picky to work with at times and their customer service and patience with me endless!!) They took their time to make me happy with the individual bouquets (because I had a lot of bridesmaids) helped me figure out what would look best with my overall color scheme and made me STRESS FREE!!! Once I talked to them, I felt at ease. Flowers are such a big part of your wedding day, they are all you dream about when you are a little girl. AND I HAD exactly that!!!My guests were THRILLED and couldn't stop talking about them!!! HIGHLY recommend them!!!
The service and care I received from cherry brandy designs was amazing. They took their time to get to know me and what I really envisioned for my day. My bouquets and center pieces were more then I could've asked for. We received compliments the whole day on our arrangements and color scheme and our pictures came out stunning. We were incredibly pleased and grateful for all their efforts and time spent.
I couldn't of asked for a more perfect day and I owe that to Joanne and her staff. They handled everything just as we had asked and their professionalism was incredible. Highly recommend .
Joann and her team did an amazing job with my wedding flowers, they were beautiful and were a very important piece to my special day. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and beautiful presentation.
I probably wasn't the typical bride with a specific direction of the flower decor (I don't know flower names and I had no desire about specific colors) but just with a few minutes of talk and joann was able to put together beautiful pieces for my day! Everything was exactly what I envisioned and wanted. My favorite was the baby's breath accent decorations for the aisle way at the ceremony location and the garland decoration of the entrance staircase railing at the reception! Everything was beautiful!
Cherry Brandy Designs was the perfect choice for our Hudson Valley wedding. From the start, they were extremely responsive, and able to build on my ideas and make them come to life in ways more beautiful than I ever imagined! They worked within our budget and had lots of helpful hints for making the most out if. Highly recommended!
Very happy with our choice of JoAnn and Cherry Brandy Designs - bouquets were beautiful as was the basket for our flower girl and flower wreath for her hair. She made our centerpieces and some small accent pieces for the venue as well - very vibrant and colorful - incorporated everything we asked for into our flowers. Would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for flowers for their wedding.
Cherry Brandy exceeded our expectations in every way. JoAnn was extremely responsive, kind, and helpful throughout the process. A lot of other florists didn't get back to me with quotes or were generally difficult to communicate with, but we booked Cherry Brandy on the basis of their superior customer service. JoAnn encouraged me to send over ideas and never made me feel like I was asking too much or had too many questions, etc. At times, I wasn't sure what I wanted or had way too many ideas, but JoAnn worked with us to hone into what our vision was and she really, really got it perfectly!
On the day of the wedding, the flowers were BEAUTIFUL!! They really exceeded our expectations and were a highlight of the day. We received so many compliments on them.
The flowers were were super fresh and lasted well over a week after the wedding.
Cherry Brandy was also accommodating in terms of budget and I never felt pushed to spend more, etc.
All around - fantastic, 5 stars. I highly recommend Cherry Brandy Designs!
It was a pleasure to work with Joann. She was recommended to me by my officiant and I could not be happier to have met her. She is talented, creative and accommodating. Made the process so easy and seamless. I gave her my vision and she executed it perfectly while staying in budget. She had great ideas and was wonderful to work with. I recommend her- look no further call her now to book your wedding or event!!!! Thank you JoAnn and team- you guys rock!!
I would highly recommend Cherry Brandy Designs for your wedding floral needs. I wanted to support a local florist having grown up in a neighboring town and I am very pleased that I chose to work with JoAnn and Heidi. Right from the start, they were very accommodating and open to all of my ideas and inspiration that I wanted to replicate for our wedding day. They made me feel comfortable throughout the planning process and JoAnn was always available to answer my questions and was super flexible with the changes I wanted to make.
The outcome was beautiful, elegant floral arrangements at an extremely reasonable price point. You won't be disappointed, chose Cherry Brandy Designs!

Thank you so much for entrusting us with such a special day! Your wedding was so beautiful!
My wedding flowers were absolutely beautiful thanks to all of JoAnn and Heidi's hard work. I live in TX and my wedding was in NY, and they constantly worked with me, always making time. In fact, every time I came to NY prior to the wedding they brought me samples to show me to ensure I had exactly what I wanted for my wedding. The table arrangements were elegant- everything I had envisioned for our black tie wedding- and my and maid of honour's bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. Very happy with Cherry Brandy Designs and highly recommend these ladies!
