Simply put: Hire these people. I'd hire them again without hesitation. Don't waste your time reading reviews. You were drawn to their flowers for a reason, and if they fit your budget, don't second-guess it. While I had vendors I wouldn't hire again, Ken and Michelle are definitely on my repeat list. They made our wedding day truly beautiful.
This review is long overdue but we are so incredibly grateful for the AMAZING team at Garden Vivien, who made our wedding flowers absolutely perfect! From the time we first connected with them to the execution and follow-up of our event, they did an INCREDIBLE job.
The owner/Principal Ken and his wife Michelle (who serves as the Senior Designer/Creative Director) took such care and diligence to make everything totally flawless! Sara from the team was also wonderful! They totally understood our vision, listened to various preferences and provided creative suggestions, and worked around budget considerations. The final result was PERFECTION! Our guests loved everything about it and we did too -- the flowers we ultimately selected (Ivory “Tibet” roses, champagne “Quicksand” roses, white hydrangea, creamy spray
roses, white “Cloni” ranunculus, white lisianthus, and pops of rich green foliage such as Israeli ruscus and cocculus, bound with ivory satin ribbon) were STUNNING!
Thank you, thank you to the whole team at Garden Vivien -- totally FANTASTIC! And love that you donate a portion of sales to an incredibly important cause too -- just amazing! :-)
Our flowers turned out amazing! They were fresh and beautiful! Sara did an excellent job matching my colors while staying within my budget.
With so many florists in the market place, it was tough to find the right fit when it came to design and budget. I am apparently more particular than I realized and wanted to find someone I could trust to come up with a cohesive and show stopping design that would compliment my day and not think twice about it. Despite the pandemic most florists I knew of were booked but lucky for me I found Garden Vivien and I can't rave highly enough. From our initial "meeting", to inspiration boards to the day of, I was blown away by how much time they took to understand how I wanted my wedding day (which was a Sunday luncheon) to look and feel and WOW did they deliver. Their attention to detail, creativity and genuine joy in what they do was every thing I could have hoped for and then some. They provided me a complimentary centerpiece for my menu tasting which was perfect in every way, My wedding bouquet was over the top as were all the other flowers for the day. To top it all off they subsequently made a donation in our name for pediatric brain cancer research. I really can't sing their praises high enough, They really do a wonderful job. I look forward to enjoying their beautiful creations in the future as well.
We worked with Sara and she was absolutely amazing! I had very little idea what I wanted and she created the most beautiful decor I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend them!
Michelle and her team did a fantastic job at our COVID delayer wedding. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for floral arrangements for their wedding. They gracefully accommodated some last minute changes we had to our banquet hall. Our guests were so impressed by the work they did. They are also donating a portion of the proceeds from our wedding to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Very pleased all around!
Garden Vivien did a wonderful job coming up with visual presentation for the event from my husband and I's color and palette suggestions, and perfectly executed my vision for the bouquet and for the flowers at the ceremony/reception.
Friendly and responsive staff, not too expensive, overall great job.
