Elderberry Design & Flowers

rpieces (there were lots of blues and purples with wildflowers interspersed) made the room. As soon as I described what I had in mind (which to be fair was not that specific), Jim knew what I wanted. I would use this place again for sure if I ever planned an event in the area.

im. His floral designs were nothing short of gorgeous and the flowers he recommended were perfect for the July heat of our wedding day. His prices are extremely fair. For us, Jim and his team delivered and set up his designs to make our venue into the fairy tale I imagined. Thank you, Jim, for your expertise and exceptional service for our wedding.

s here and there and I felt like I was really getting a lot for our money. The quality of the flowers and the arrangements were simply stunning! From day one, Jim had the fastest response time and he understood what the images I sent as a reference guide meant. I would recommend Jim again and again! Truly talented!

t arrangements. On top of that, he was super easy to work with - incredibly responsive and organized.

ife because unlike other wedding flower vendors, he does it all himself! He also conveniently takes care of table numbers, holders, and place cards for a small additional cost. He had never worked with my venue but was so professional in how he went to the property on his own to scope out the space, and set everything up without me or any sort of wedding planner guiding him on the day of the wedding. I felt so at ease using Elderberry for my wedding because Jim is so warm & accommodating, and his arrangements are so unique, elegant, and true to my vision!

again. When the day came, we were very impressed with how beautiful everything was. Guests specifically mentioned how unique and stunning the arbor and my bouquet was. We've even recommended him to another close friend who has already booked him for their wedding. Thank you to Jim for making our day so beautiful!

(no bouquets, small centerpieces, etc.) and Jim was a source of advice and help. His work create a vibe and atmosphere that elevated and enhanced our amazing day!

n into a reality. He was very responsive and answered emails almost immediately. We had to make some changes close to the wedding date due to changes in guest count and Jim was very patient and understanding. You can tell that Jim really enjoys what he does and takes pride in his work!

et. After finding out I was pregnant, my DIY desire for the wedding became less and less and Jim was able to pick up all my slack. He put together my succulent favor/escort cards. Added more bud vases and greenery to my terrarium centerpieces to really fill out the tables. Jim is so knowledgeable, he knew what I wanted even more than I did and was able to execute our vision better than we even imagined. Our guests were dying to take home the centerpiece terrariums at the end of the night, there were none left over! They decorated the arbor my husband built and it looked like it was from a magazine. I can't wait for the professional pictures to come back. Thank you Jim!

am not a ribbons and frills type of girl. Jim was receptive to my vision and worked hard to execute exactly what I wanted for our wedding at the Onteora Mountain House. The flowers were beautiful, the details were amazing, and everyone loved them. Also, Elderberry was more budget-friendly than several other florists in the area and I was very happy with what we got for the amount we spent. I would definitely recommend working with Jim and Elderberry.

hey are. my wedding was almost a month ago and we still have them in our house and alive!!! highly recommend him to do your next event. His communication skills are amazing and he does exactly what you ask for!

ions of the ceremony few hours before and this did not phase Jim and team. The execution was perfection. Throughout the entire experience Jim and team worked on making the environment so special, unique and elegant. They worked with us on brainstorming looks and possibilities. They have amazing style and I promise you can't go wrong with this team!

He was easy to work with and very easy to work with.

and Jewish wedding! Jim was the most responsive of any of the flower vendors to whom we reached out before we booked him, and he continued to be this way after we booked him. He was engaged in choosing the flowers for our color scheme and vision. He sent us the names of proposed flowers that he would use and discussed how conceptually we would like these arranged. Jim was upfront about which requests were realistic for our budget and which weren’t, and he was helpful in figuring out what else we could do within budget that would still match our vision. He also helped us figure out where, if we could increase our budget just a little bit, we could get more bang for our buck. Jim also provided us with our chuppah. Also, Jim was very flexible right up to the last minute, particularly with respect to preparing the floral arrangements for our Indian engagement ceremony and bringing his own tallis to cover our chuppah when ours didn’t arrive on time! Jim’s prep team even provided a last minute hand with the groom and groomsmen by showing them how to pin the boutonnieres correctly. We are very happy we used Jim and Elderberry Flowers!

r flowers were perfect and his vision was exactly what I was looking for. He is extremely professional, easy to get in contact with and very receptive to ideas. I highly recommend him.

eating the most beautiful, unique centerpieces and bouquets for our wedding. Months after the wedding, we're still getting compliments from guests who loved our flowers. Highly recommend!

im reviewed a variety of options and helped me figure out a vision. He is very organized and ensured I approved of each part.

nd were sold immediately--he has a very unique style that was perfect for my rustic, outdoor wedding, but he also seems very versatile. When we met with him, I gave him a very rough idea of what I was looking for with random thoughts thrown at him. From that initial conversation, Jim came back to me with a detailed email overview of what he interpreted from our conversation as my desired look and was 100% accurate! I wanted a rustic, yet elegant feel and he did just that. Jim also immediately started looking for the vases that I could use for my centerpieces, as he knew they would be difficult to locate and needed some more time for the search. Jim was also able to take his chuppah and turn it into the exact style we were looking for! It is amazing how he can take a few words, and a few pictures, and turn it into such an amazing real life creation. Jim has an eye for design like none other and everyone was raving about my wedding centerpieces, bouquets, and chuppah! I think Jim and Elderberry Flowers are a very good value for the price, and he is incredibly easy to work with. Also, for someone that does so many weddings, he managed to stay very organized and make me feel extremely comfortable in his ability to create a beautiful look and feel for my bridesmaids, ceremony, and reception. There is definitely a reason he is a preferred vendor at my venue, Full Moon Resort, and I would recommend him as a preferred vendor for any wedding in the New York Catskills region. Thank you Jim!!

with me, and he translated my vision beautifully. We just loved all of the flowers he provided. He was great with communication via email as we were not local. I would highly recommend Jim at Elderberry!

e. I cannot say enough great things about my flowers!
