Crest Florist

Chateau in East Brunswick. I received my bouquet & my bridesmaids boquets I was in awe they were everything I pictured. When we walked into the chapel my jaw dropped at how stunning it was. I wanted a little touch at the staircase in the main entrance & then our centerpieces in the ballroom OMG is all my husband & I could say. Everything was STUNNING & more then what I could have imagined, or pictured in my mind. If you're looking for an amazing, sweet hardworking florist who will work with you on budget & make your dreams come true look no further!! Matt & the Crest Florist team thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! Sam & Josh Alfano

lliantly. I truly appreciate how flexible he was too. He said that I could add or subtract from the initial plan as needed and he meant it! What is more, at our pre-wedding centrepiece mock-up I fell in love with a particular plant that had not been included in my original plan. It should have cost about $10 more per centrepiece. I said that with how many extra expenses were coming up with the wedding I could not afford to add on. Matt insisted that he wanted me to have it and did not charge me extra. It is rare to find professionals in an expensive industry who genuinely seem to care about PEOPLE. He was not only a good person, but he did an absolutely beautiful job on the wedding day. Our ballroom and bouquets looked gorgeous!

them without any reservations. They know what they are doing and the flowers were high quality.

my idea and turned it into a fairy tale reality. They are world class and you will not go wrong. Matt even went as far as meeting with me on 7 different occasions as we constantly went over every detail of the wedding and making sure it fit. I've attached so many photos because pictures speak 1000 words. you will not go wrong with Crest Florist!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

thing they did especially Roberto for being on top of everything! This is the place to go for GORGEOUS flowers and wonderful staff to help you with all your wedding needs!!❤️❤️❤️💐🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻 Xoxoxo _Andrew & Gianella Kaplan

nd also made us a sample centerpiece to view a few weeks before the wedding.

From start to finish they were so professional and extremely talented. We highly recommend them!

airytale. My guests came up to my family all night asking who did such a spectacular job with the flowers. Matt is so talented and sweet and really made all my dreams come true. Crest Florist exceeded ALL my expectations and I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to have them make my wedding the most special day of my life.

can to make sure it's perfect — he even asked to see my dress so he could make the perfect bouquet to complement it for me. He was always open to seeing my inspiration board to understand my ideas, and we had a handful of meetings before the big day. They were even taking my requests just a few days before the big day. Before the wedding, Matt also showed me a real-life example of what my centerpiece would look like and ran through everything to make sure we were on the same page with every detail, too! Matt and the team were punctual the day of the wedding, and did everything they promised me they would do — and exceeded my expectations! The flowers and candles were absolutely beautiful. Even my guests were raving about them! The ballroom at Park Chateau looked like a fairytale, and the bouquets and boutonnieres perfectly matched the bridesmaids' and groomsmens' looks. I can't say enough great things about Crest. If you want to have a fairytale wedding, please have Matt do your flowers! Fair pricing as well.

amed Melissa, who suddenly stopped returning my calls. I found out later that she was no longer with the company. Then, I had to go meet with another florist and do the consultation all over again. All in all, I met with them three times. My parents met with them an additional two times (I live out of state). Every time we spoke to a consultant, we were assured that the flowers and other decorations used in the church would be moved to the reception venue. This did not happen. When I questioned Crest following my wedding about why the move did not occur, they responded saying that was never the plan, and such agreement was not reflected in my contract. If you work with this company, make sure you have everything stated in writing. I was devastated that these expensive, vital components of my decor were not carried through to my reception.

with some really unique and beautiful centerpieces and bouquets that were truly works of art. Matt was wonderful to work with, and he really worked with us to understand what we wanted, making sure to show us a preview to ensure we were all on the same page. I would highly recommend their expert service/creations!

our expectations. The florals were so tasteful, elegant and timeless. We were married under a Chuppah, which many of our guests said they were in complete awe of how beautiful and extravagant the arch was. We had a mixture of high, medium and low centerpieces which balanced the room perfectly. Crest went above and beyond, with personally delivering flowers to the hotel we were staying at and even so much as helping my then fiance surprise me with a beautifully decorated bridal suite upon my arrival the morning of. The Crest team discreetly set up the bridal suite the night before while we were having our rehearsal, making my then fiance's vision come to life. They were the best!

When the bouquets were delivered to me on the day of the wedding, they were even more than I had hoped for. The centerpieces at the reception were complimented on by many and really added the perfect touch to our special day.

Roberto, we showed him what we liked and talked about ideas. He brought up a wide variety of flowers and showed some of them in person, but to be honest, I didn't know what all of them looked like and he asked me to trust him and I am beyond happy that I did. He brought out vision to life flawlessly.

ncepts for the reception flowers and all were really lovely. The bridesmaids bouquets were very full and beautiful. All in all, the best florist to hire for your wedding day. Thanks Matt and team!

City, NY. People were coming up to me the night of my wedding just to tell me that they had never seen prettier centerpieces. The room was breathtaking, my bouquets were perfect, the chuppah was stunning and I have Crest Florist to thank. If you are considering booking, I can assure you that you will not find better!!

my many questions and my inquiries on using/adding different types of flowers (to help cut cost). Katie and Heather were also helpful and responsive. They were accommodating and worked around my schedule. The flowers on my wedding day were fresh, vibrant, and beautiful. As Crest is the florist for the Park Savoy (where I had my wedding), they even added plum blossoms (which went with the theme in my wedding invitation) to the floral arrangements in the cocktail reception area ("common area" where Park Savoy pays for the floral arrangements) - it was a subtle and very delightful touch.

rangements exactly as I wanted. They even prepared a centerpiece for the food tasting at my venue so that I could preview it and let them know my thoughts!! Thank you so much Crest for delivering beyond my expectations on our big day and for making bouquets and centerpieces that were gorgeous and exactly as requested!! You can't go wrong with hiring Crest!

to go over every detail of my contract and even put together my bouquet so I’d have a sense of what everything would look like. Matt even surprised us at our tasting with having created one of our centerpieces for our table. They did a spectacular job on our wedding day, delivering beautiful arrangements on time. We received a lot of complemens on them. I’d highly recommend them.

there, we met the rest of the team throughout the planning process: Roberto, Kathy, Katie, Jesse, Alan & Heather. They were all so friendly and gave their honest opinions when we asked about different ideas and themes. We were married at Rock Island in June of 2018 and the Crest team had not been to that venue very often so Matt offered to meet us there to walk through the space to gain ideas and scope everything out before the big day! We were so appreciative of him taking the time to do so. The day of the wedding, Matt personally dropped off flowers to me that my (now) husband had sent the morning of as a surprise and then Kathy, Katie & Jesse showed up to bring our wedding vision to life. They were on time, prepared, and commented on how great we looked that day :) They also brought up some previous stories we had shared which really made us feel appreciated as clients versus just "another bride & groom." Our guests commented all night long about how great the flowers looked; from our ceremony decor, girl's bouquets and centerpieces in the ballroom, they went above and beyond any expectation that we had. I wish I could have preserved at least one of everything from that day to be able to cherish it for the rest of my life! I am counting down the days until we receive our photos back so I am able to fully appreciate the details of the day the way my guests were able to. Thank you to Matt, Kathy, Katie, Jesse, Alan, Roberto, Heather and everyone else at Crest Florist for bringing our dream wedding decor to life! XOXO

to he made my flowers not stressful and I had 100% confidence that what we discussed would be what I would receive and I did!

ned to all my ideas and made my dreams a reality. Early in our meetings, they informed me that I would get to see a sample of my centerpiece a few months before my wedding and that made me a little nervous because I decided to change all my centerpieces about 2 weeks before my wedding. To my surprise, the day before my wedding they were texting me pictures of my bouquet and centerpieces. I was so happy they were able to do this for me because it kept my mind at ease and I knew I had nothing to worry about! I HIGHLY recommend Crest Florist!!! Thank you Matt and team! You are all AMAZING! Lots of love, Maria

working with Crest and can't wait to do so in the future! Thanks so much guys, you're the best!!

f! We had a New Year’s Eve wedding and the centerpieces captured the evening and were a true highlight. Walking into our ballroom was so stunning and people have been complimenting us on the flowers ever since our wedding day. Delivery, set-up and overall logistics were completely seamless with Crest and our venue, The Park Savoy. Roberto’s passion and energy are everything a customer could ask for and made the experience so enjoyable. When I asked to make minor tweaks I was met with total patience & understanding and the end result was truly perfect. Thank you Roberto and Crest Florist!!

mosphere and the decorated candelabras added the perfect touch to the ceremony. I highly recommend Crest to everyone in the area!

owers and how different they were!! A bit pricey but you get what you pay for !! The flowers looked amazing and all our guests raved about he floral arrangement. My bouquet looked amazing in pictures !

I'd imagined. The balance of color was perfect, and the all-natural stands he used for the centerpieces were really special. In fact, a friend came over to us during dinner to tell us that the stands were "the coolest thing [he's] ever seen in terms of flowers." They took care of everything: center pieces for the tables, the chuppah, bridal bouquets and bouquets for the bridal party, bouquets for both of our moms, and a basket full of petals for our 2.5 year-old flower girl. Matt was knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and just generally fantastic to work with. I'd highly recommend them!!! Thank you, Crest Florist, for making our wedding beautiful. :o)

ry reasonable price. That was important to us. We wanted the flowers to be lovely, but not the biggest part of our wedding budget. Crest can definitely deliver that with no problem because of their scale. We paid a small fee for the flowers to be picked up at the end of the night and delivered to our hotel, where we used them again for our post-wedding brunch and then sent them home with our brunch guests. That was well worth the cost. We are using Crest again in a few months for our next wedding and are confident that we will be thrilled with the results again.

t big on flowers, but Matt knew precisely how to handle it and what to suggest and he was spot on! I would HIGHLY recommend Crest Florist, you will not be disappointed on your special day!

day of delivery! Thanks to Kerri for everything! Definitely use Crest Florist for dream come true flowers!

lorists were really helpful whenever I got a chance to call and they were very responsive on email. Most importantly the flowers were beautiful on wedding day! Would definitely recommend this vendor. The price was reasonable compared to many florists around town and I didn't have to do anything day of. They just worked with the venue staff to get all the flowers delivered and set up!

as on the phone or in person. They took detailed notes and sent us updates every time we called to make changes to our arrangements (which was a lot). We planned our wedding in NJ 600 miles away in the Carolinas, so Matt & staff were flexible with our schedule and did our preview day out of season so we could see what our tables would look like. Matt loves to chat but at the end of the day he was very receptive our vision and brought it all to live with gorgeous arrangements. He worked with our budget and our style to help contribute to the very best day of our lives. Thank you Crest Florist!!!

d a mandap, and Matt totally understood our vision for an understated, rustic-looking one. Also, though I don't know much about flowers, Matt worked with us to pick flowers and arrangements that would compliment our color scheme and overall wedding style. Another worry we had was the tight turn-around between both the prior ceremony and our ceremony, and our ceremony and reception (which were held in the same room). The Crest team executed it flawlessly. We completely trusted Matt and his team's judgment and did not regret it. My bouquet was absolutely stunning, and I loved our centerpieces (greenery and lanterns) as well. highly recommend!

y spectacular! Everything was ready when we arrived the day of, and we had to worry about absolutely nothing after we did our final meeting. Matty really takes the time to get to know YOU and what fits your personality and wedding theme! He is truly passionate about what he does and his main priority is that you are happy.

use them for my next event.

lf hour late in dropping off my flowers from my designated time and my grooms boutinierre was delivered to the church instead of his hotel so it caused some confusion, but it all worked out and the flowers were beautiful.

d to get married in the Church. So an outdoor or a beach ceremony/reception was impossible. For this reason the only superficial aspect of the wedding I really cared about was the flowers (probably more than the dress)! Matt listened to everything I had to say and worked we me from start to finish. We met several times and he helped me through the process to narrow down a Pinterest board full of ideas to a vision that was uniquely me. As we got closer to the wedding he even put together bouquets and arrangements just so I could have a better idea of what each flower would look like. When we got down to the weeks before the wedding he noticed my flowers were on the boarder of growing seasons. Some might be just be coming in and some were almost done for the season. He ended up searching the earth for me (literally) and was able to use his connections to get my flowers in from all over, including as far as New Zealand!!!! In the end I had a perfect arrangement of white, green, pink, and an accent of dark raspberry pink/red. I had stunning table arrangements with the organic feel of tree and ivy. The tables were lined with vintage gold and silver candles. He simply nailed the classic, romantic look I wanted with just a hint of color for the summer season. The Park Savoy where we had our reception had this classic romantic glow and I still get complements on the flowers to this day. Crest Florist made my dreams come true. I would recommend them to everyone and hope to have an excuse to use them again soon!

the Park Chateau Chapel and ballroom. Matt is as creative and knowledegable, as he is thoughtful and kind. Working with him was like working with an artist, allowing him to craft his “vision” and design a perfect dream wedding. My mother in law and I had no experience with flowers and came to Matt with no vision besides the general colors and a few types of flowers we liked. Matt asked us to trust him, and trust him we did! He created a magical fairytale like setting in our Chapel, utilizing spring apple blossoms and then used them again to stagger the centerpieces between various types of tall, and magnificent center pieces. I have never been to a wedding where the flowers were so magnificent, and every guest has commented on how he turned the Chapel into a fairytale. If you are a bride, we highly suggest you work with Crest Florist for your designs. And trust his vision, he will far exceed your expectations.

the swatches I showed him from the bridesmaids’ dresses. Roberto and Matt truly understood and delivered on my vision for our bouquets, centerpieces, chuppah and every other accent they provided. We cannot thank them enough for their beautiful arrangements, seamless delivery/setup and professionalism through our wedding planning process. We have gotten SO many compliments about our flowers and have Crest to thank!

ve everything you asked for and more. The artistic detail and care that Matt and his team puts into every single element really shows the sincerity and love they have for what they do. If you want to have top quality beautiful floral arrangements for your wedding, Crest Florist is who you need to go with!! For our wedding I wanted it to have a “garden” feel with a rustic kind of feel. I got everything I imagined! Lots of greenery and BEAUTIFUL ivory, champagne and white roses. Would definitely recommend!

LPED. It was so appreciated to talk things through and create something together and not feel pressured into anything. Roberto was so much fun and he put together a masterpiece for us. If you want to see photos I have them up on Instagram @katieyourlady. Thank you Roberto!!!!

room baskets to cocktail hour tables, to the reception. When I walked into the Crystal Plaza the day of my wedding Roberto made it a point to walk me through every detail he did to make sure I LOVED It all - Which I DID!! I will never go to another florist again!

My guests couldn't stop telling me how beautifully / romantic my flowers were and how it added to the overall elegance and feel of my perfect day!

verything, this team CARES. They truly understood what we wanted and worked within our budget. And they over delivered by far. Working with Matt was an absolute pleasure. He's so kind and professional. I can't recommend them enough. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

work with and his work is exceptional. Thank you Roberto! Linda Locandro & Hector Martinez

annot say enough wonderful things - I am not a flower person and I was absolutely obsessed with how everything turned out.

e I was going for. He made suggestions and ultimately gave me exactly what I wanted. He just KNEW what would work. He has a passion and an expertise when it comes to flowers - I trusted him completely and he did not disappoint. People are still talking about the beautiful bouquets and centerpieces! He was extremely responsive and made me feel at ease throughout the whole experience. The flowers were not cheap, but every cent was worth it for the amazing quality. Also, he found ways to reuse flowers throughout different parts of the day so that there wasn't any money wasted. Again, I would highly recommend Crest florist! (Thank you Matt and team for everything!!!!)

ss and created the most beautiful centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres and flowers for our ceremony. Our guests kept telling us how wonderful the flowers were and everyone wanted to take them home at the end of the night! Kim did a fabulous job and I would highly recommend Crest for any wedding or special event!

omantic venue! The most exquisite floral arrangements I have ever seen. They did my bridal shower at the Highlawn Pavillion in West Orange, NJ and created statement pieces that the guests are STILL talking about. Not only do the flowers look great but they smelled BEAUTIFUL. I had no idea what the arrangements would look like as the shower was a surprise. Matt, the owner, worked with my sister (MOH) and mother and came up with an elegant and fitting scene for my shower. Crest provided the centerpieces, candles, props for the built in "mountain wall", accent lights, a full set up and break down, and allowed us to keep the centerpieces. For both the shower and the wedding not only was Matt A DREAM to work with, but they made sure my shower and wedding were as special as they could have been. I almost cried when I saw my wedding bouquet it was so beautiful. He really went above and beyond to make me a happy bride and boy did he succeed! The floral arrangement are gorgeous. He combined oranges, pinks, greens, and peacock feathers. One of the reasons we initially choose Crest florist for the wedding is they offer a feature where sparklers shoot out of your centerpieces when you enter your ballroom. We ordered this service but kept it a surprise for our guests. 2 weeks before the event Matt was honest with us and said the company they use for the sparklers was somewhat unreliable and they were having issues with setting them off real time. He wanted me to know a head of time that there was a possibility he couldn't get them because he didn't want it to be a fluke the day of the wedding. I SO APPRECIATED his honesty and candidness. A really testament to his character, but what really sent me to give Crest 5 stars was that matt went out of his way to find a new company that was more reliable just to make sure that we had the sparklers for our wedding day. Wow. AMAZINGLY TALENTED florist, but also a quality person. These are the types of people you want to work with for you wedding, or other events. He also brought an 8 foot crystal peacock embellished with feathers to the event, specially redesigned for us. His son the day of came up to me and told me that the amber lighting in the room would lay better with the colors than the previously selected cyan color. It's professionals like these who aren't afraid to be honest because they care about the quality of your work you want to have on your team. I would 100% recommend Crest for weddings, showers, communions, or dinner parties. We have found a company we will use for all of our events here on out. Thank you Matt and everyone at Crest!

place card table to all the details you wouldn't even think of, it was far above all you could dream of!! Thank you Crest Florist you really made an important day come to life.

r that was out of season, matt found an equally gorgeous comparable flower that filled the void. they are very respectful of your budget and worked with us until we were happy. so many people remarked about the gorgeous flowers and we couldn't have been happier

olled around and Kim was no where to be found. She sent two guys and they had absolutely no idea what we had discussed and so many of the flowers were wrong. We got corsages instead of a handheld bouquet, the bouquets were wrapped instead of having streamers, and some flowers were straight up missing. The bouquets were circles and we said we wanted them loose and not circular. All of which was fixed, but I had to stop everything I was doing to tell them what I wanted, multiple times. On top of that my bouquet was turning brown before the cake was even cut. I really wanted it preserved and it was too far gone by then to do anything about it. The worst part of all was the trellis. They set it up and it was absolutely horrible. The flowers were wrong (in balls and not loose & their placement also), the curtains were hung wrong. The guys were very sweet and fixed everything. BUT I had to stop in the middle of getting my hair done and go out there and draw pictures for them and stand there to show them what I wanted. It is not stress that any bride needs that day. The end result was better, but the curtains were rubber banded together and that is all I can see when I look at pictures from my ceremony. I was very disappointed. Despite all of the stress, the guys did fix everything and at the end of the day everyone had their flowers and they were very beautiful. The centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous. They made at least two trips back to the warehouse and did it without complaining. They were very professional. If Kim would have come that day, like she said she would, I wouldn't have had to leave the hair and makeup to direct the people and i'm sure things would've gone a lot more smoothly.

ows what he is talking about. My arrangements were gorgeous and I was SO in love with my bouquet, it broke my heart that i couldn't look at it forever. Thank you Crest!!

ze! Since I know nothing about flowers, I wasn't too particular. I only knew that I wanted them to look elegant and beautiful and Kim did just that. They came out so much more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. My wedding day was beyond perfect and the flowers played such a large part in it. The best word to describe the bouquets and arrangements is STUNNING! We had so many compliments on them and my guests are still raving about them a week later. Thank you again for the exemplary service and quality of your work! The memories of our wedding day will be cherished forever. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding flowers, see Kim. You will be very happy you did!!

o the grounds of the Lake Valhalla Club, we stopped in our tracks as we came upon the chuppah. The four candelabras, 32 candles, the tallit laden canopy, the fall flower arrangements, were even more spectacular than imagined. Once the sun went down and 32 candles were lit among the black sky, with lanterns on shepherd hooks lining the aisle, the scene was magical. Comments were: " I've never seen anything like it. It is magical. It's like getting married in a fairy tale. It is the most beautiful chuppah I have ever seen." Not only was Roberto's insight incredible, he was unbelievable to work with. His personality was contagious, happy, fun, into everything he did. You got excited just by watching him work, the way he created arrangements in front of you, showing you exactly what he was talking about. He listened, took our concerns, interests and taste into consideration. Unsure of what we wanted at first, he knew just how to lead us to what would end up being perfect. The table arrangements, again I have never seen anything like them. So different, so much fun, so lively, so colorful. And the response of the guests and the caterer too, was just as ours was - How different! How beautiful! How unique! In addition, the bride's bouquet, the throw away bouquet and the bridal party bouquets were stunning. People commented on individual flowers because they were so stunning. A week later, the flowers we took home are still beautiful. Even Roberto's small details like the flowers on the balcony and the candles on the fireplace stood out and received rave reviews. The effort, the attention, the creativity and the love that went into these magical creations produced a night never to be forgotten.

He and his staff were very flexible and always friendly; their laid-back yet professional approach made working with them easy and enjoyable. Our flowers for our big day turned out beautifully! Matt definitely created the wedding floral look we wanted. The arrangements were simple yet gorgeous, and we couldn't have been happier with them. We received lots of positive remarks about the flowers from our wedding guests as well. Overall, we'd highly recommend Crest Florist for any special occasion!

for anything better. I highly recommend Crest - you will not be disappointed!

team did. Thank you for helping to make our day beautiful and smooth!

o for your first consultation they take out real flowers and put them together in front of you so you can see what the bouquets, etc will look like. i wanted flowers on everything from the church aisles and altar to the cocktail hour and reception so my final bill was a bit pricey. however, it was totally worth it and really made my day unbelievable. a lot of people commented on how amazing the flowers were. the bridesmaid bouquets exceeded my expectations and were the prettiest i have ever seen. would definitely recommend. ask for roberto!

impressed with the beauty these flowers added to our celebration. I would definitely recommand them.

bright or colorful that I would regret in photos down the road. Kim and Matt knew exactly what I wanted with my minimal descriptions. We used predominately roses and hydrangea in hues of blue, champagne, white and lilac. Crest Florist and Matt Sr really worked with me to stick to my budget. They were amazing!!! I would recommend Crest Florist to anyone. What a great group of people to work with! Matt senior is such a great guy! They did such an amazing job on the bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces!

more of an enjoyable part of the entire wedding planning process for us. In addition, they truly take the time to consult and listen to what you like or don't like and give it that extra personal attention to ensure you are pleased in every which way. If we need a florist again, we won't hesitate one iota where we will be revisiting!!! Thank you Matt and everyone at Crest!

eption was done on time and seamlessly. The flowers we're gorgeous for my vintage wedding!! They really blew me away! Ron & Crest Florist really made my wedding a dream, it was truly magical! I highly recommend using Crest Florist!

alked into the venue everything was set up so perfectly. they did a great job with all of the center pieces. It all looked so fancy and classy. It was beautiful! thank you so much for your hard work!

dding cake with cymbidium orchids to look exactly how I wanted it. Our guests are still talking about how lovely the flowers are, and one friend who took a centerpiece home called me a week later to tell me the flowers were still fresh and beautiful. I was a floral designer in my younger days, and know flowers -- Matt is an expert and the perfect designer for wedding flowers!

est delivered our flowers on our big day and the arrangements, bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres were even more beautiful than I could have imagined and everything looked amazing! They know all the venues in the area and have great relationships with them, which made coordinating a breeze!

pieces his team prepared we're not at all what I had wanted or imagined), but we went over every item, line by line, and I showed him pictures of what I envisioned. At our follow up meeting, the centerpieces we're exactly what I had described. The morning of my big day, the bouquets arrived and they were more beautiful that I could have ever dreamed. Matt and his team at Crest did a fantastic job! I would 100% recommend them.
