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 bud...
get, 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 connect...
ed 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!
