Dalsimer Spitz & Peck Floral & Event Decorators

Brian and the team at Dalsimer Spitz and Peck were AMAZING! I’m not a big flower person and really didn’t know how to articulate my vision, but Brian figured it all out, listened to everything I wanted, and executed it beautifully. While taking my pictures, I walked into my ceremony space and was floored by the incredible attention to detail. My reception centerpieces were BEAUTIFUL, more than I even imagined. I still cannot believe I walked into my first meeting with Dalsimer Spitz and Peck not wanting much, to having my amazing flowers be a highlight of my night!

We used Dalsimer Spitz and Peck Florist as part of a package with our venue. Our initial meeting with Martin was positive. He accommodated us with a Saturday meeting and agreed that since we weren’t having a bridal party, the four bridesmaids’ bouquets included in our package could be reallocated toward centerpieces. This brought our total to 14 centerpieces covered by the package. With a guest list of 150 people (including us and the vendors who wouldn’t need seats), and a mix of tables seating 10 and 12 guests, we weren’t initially sure if we’d need additional centerpieces. When we asked if we needed to put down any extra money, Martin assured us that we didn’t need to until we confirmed whether we’d need more than 14. Everything seemed fine at this point. Then, in June, we received a call from the owner, Robert, followed by an email demanding an additional $200 deposit for what he assumed would be $500 worth of extra centerpieces—even though we hadn’t yet finalized how many we’d need. In the end, we only needed one extra centerpiece, which cost $100—less than the deposit he was requesting. During this same interaction, Robert also argued with me about the ceremony time printed on our invitations. While our ceremony was scheduled for 6:00 PM, we expected it to start closer to 6:15/6:20. He insisted we list it as 5:30 and even documented that in their paperwork, despite my explanation. After that frustrating interaction, I spoke with Michael, who was delightful, professional, and understanding. He recognized why we hadn’t put down additional money earlier since we weren’t sure if extra centerpieces would be needed. From that point forward, I requested not to deal with Robert again. Once our headcount was finalized, I called and paid for the one additional centerpiece. Closer to the wedding, we discussed bouquet details over the phone. I was told my bouquet would include five succulents, which I was excited about. However, on the wedding day, the bouquet only had four succulents, and the leaves were browning, possibly due to improper handling or storage despite being in water tubes. Additionally, the blue hydrangeas in the centerpieces didn’t look as vibrant or fresh as expected — a few guest actually told us as much after the wedding. Thankfully, flowers weren’t a priority for me, so these issues didn’t ruin anything. However, I wouldn’t use this florist again, at least not for smaller events. Their portfolio suggests they excel with larger-scale events, which may be more of their specialty.
