Allison and the team at Garden Gate Florist were amazing. Allison was able to bring my vision to life and it was better than I could have imagined! She was patient as I worked out exactly what kind of arrangements we wanted for our ceremony setting. She also provides a detailed proposal with images that is extremely helpful -- other florists we considered did not have this resource. Exceptional service and the most beautiful flowers - highly recommend!

Even though I was getting married an hour away, I knew I wanted Garden Gate to make my bridal bouquet because I have always loved the arrangements I have ordered from them. They were amazing to work with from the start, and even opened up early so my mom could pick up the flowers the day of the wedding to drive them to the venue. And they were so beautiful and everything I could have hoped for.

Allison and her team were just amazing. They did everything, bouquets, center pieces, flowers around the venue for our wedding. All the pieces were just gorgeous. I had no idea what I wanted and Allison listened and created just beautiful arrangements. Sometimes people don’t notice the flowers at wedding, but at our wedding, people constantly commented on how beautiful the flowers were. She was also easy to work with, which helped a lot. You cannot go wrong with Garden Gate Florist.

Allison is amazing! She helped me stay on budget and got creative with reusing pieces where we could (moving from ceremony to reception, etc.). She also redesigned my bouquet with 2 days notice to help cover a flaw on my dress which I so appreciated! And the flowers were absolutely stunning!

I can't say enough about how beautiful our flowers were for our wedding! My bouquet was exactly what I was hoping for, the bridesmaids bouquets were perfect, and the floral arrangements for the ceremony space and the reception were gorgeous. Really, truly wonderful!

Allison is an artist! She designed all my center pieces, ceremony decorations, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, mother of the bride/groom wristlets and my bridal bouquet.
Once I saw Allison delivering all the flowers on our wedding day, it all hit me that it was real, and I was actually getting married. She made the day come to life in a stunning way. I will absolutely be buying arrangements from her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing florist!

I can’t say enough about Allison and her team at Garden Gate. They listened to my ideas and executed them perfectly on my wedding day. I added things and changed my mind a lot throughout the wedding planning process, but Allison was always flexible. Many of the guests commented on how beautiful the florals were at my wedding, and many of them wanted to take some home. If you are looking for a professional team that is reasonably priced and will execute your vision perfectly, hire Garden Gate.

Garden Gate Florist did the bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and ceremony arch decor for our wedding, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. My bridal bouquet was exactly what I wanted! In fact, I barely let it go all night because it was just so beautiful. Allison was wonderful to work with, and made my vision a reality! I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding florist.

Garden Gate Florist made my wedding a dream come true! Allison is so easy to work with. She has amazing vision and is really great about discussing all the details. She was extremely accommodating when we needed to adjust our guest list due to COVID. My guests couldn't say enough about the flowers--they really helped set the mood for the whole day! Garden Gate Florist is everything you want in your wedding florist--you will not be disappointed!!

Allison was fantastic to work with. I loved our initial consultation. I had previously talked to some florists who would "reluctantly" consider our smaller event because it was "off season"...Allison never made me feel like an inconvenience and to the contrary, had GREAT suggestions on substitutions to keep costs reasonable. Delivery went without a hitch, and everything was beautiful! My bouquet was stunning, our kissing ball romantic, and all the corsages and boutonnieres were exactly what I had pictured! Allison was super responsive and flexible, gorgeous product and prices were very fair. Highly recommend!

The team at Garden Gate did an amazing job from communication leading up to the wedding, to actually producing the bouquets and arrangements I had envisioned. It was easy to make changes as needed and they were so accommodating. Deliveries were on time. I cannot complain!

I am so pleased I used Garden Gate Florist for my wedding this past August! The bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and arrangements for the church and pews were beyond beautiful. Allison is wonderful to work with. She met with my mom and I before the wedding and took the time to look through my Pinterest page and discuss various ideas I had. Allison made great suggestions and was very conscious of my price-point. As the wedding came closer, Allison was great at communicating and flexible to changes I made. She really listened to me, understood my vision and made it into a reality! The flowers were more stunning than I even imagined. I give Garden Gate Florist my highest recommendation!

Allison was amazing and worked hard with me on planning and designing the perfect table centerpieces. We had an Alice In Wonderland theme and each table was individually designed. Allison listened to me and was able to envision what we wanted. As the title says, I couldn't be happier! Her creations helped solidify my feelings that I just wanted time to freeze during my wedding and we could all live there forever. It was an amazing day, so happy that I didn't use another florist!

Nothing makes a wedding more visually stunning than the flowers. And Allison at Garden Gate created the most amazing visual confections that words cannot sum up the effect upon our guests and ourselves. This review is long overdue, as our nuptials were in August, but the guests are still commenting on the floral arrangements that were unique, brilliantly designed, and simply striking in their elegance.
My wedding coordinator recommended Garden Gate in their list, and since we live in Woodstock, and were to be married there, it was a no-brainer for us to use their services.
I purchased burnished gold candlesticks at Grandin Road in the fall. My fiance wanted me to return them, but instead I went to Allison at Garden Gate, who brought my vision to life with ivory candles, ivy, large pink cymbidium orchids,
amazingly exquisite roses, and other lovely greens and berries. When the centerpieces were on the ivory draped tables at the foster country club, the simple room was transformed to a hall bedecked with rich jewel tones; pinks, deep greens and golds sparkled in the early evening with a warm glow. The varying heights of the candle sticks and candles (which fcc allowed us to burn), drew the eye to the interesting flow and pattern. The guests all wanted to take the unique centerpiece home.
The bridal and bridesmaid's bouquets were equally stunning, of the same rich jewel tones; fuschia and green, and lasted for 2 weeks after the wedding! I had the bridal bouquet preserved under a glass dome and it will be ready in late November. I can't wait to get it back!
Alison was patient, kind, and knows her flowers. She worked with me until the vision was just right. I cannot recommend her highly enough. And the azaleas she sold me in late April are blooming again!
Allison is a genius with flowers, and she truly is responsible for making Garden Gate a Heaven's Gate.

I worked with Allison at Garden Gate to create my bouquets and centerpieces. I don't know a lot of flower names but had a general idea of the type of look I wanted. Allison was great, giving me plenty of options and choosing just the right flowers. I had a price quote promptly after our meeting and was VERY happy on the big day with the delivery and the way the arrangements turned out.

Garden Gate Florist is the place to go for all of your floral/arrangement needs. My partner and I worked with Allison directly and she was just fabulous throughout the wedding planning process. We got married in the fall in CT and wanted our flowers to compliment the weather but also to pop with the cobalt blue dresses and ties we picked for our wedding party. Allison came up with the perfect arrangements for us at a lower cost than other local competitors. She was friendly and punctual. She also helped my mother-in-law tie the chair bows and attach the sunflowers to our wedding arbor on the day of our wedding. To make the experience even better, I didn't meet Allison face-to-face until days before our wedding. My partner met her at the initial interview along with my mother-in-law. We live out of state so it was difficult for me to meet everyone before the wedding. With this being said, you'd assume that the process was difficult. But it wasn't! When I finally met Allison face-to-face it was nice to have placed a face with the person behind the emails and not surprising, her friendliness came through even more when we met in person. By coincidence, she was arranging the flowers for our wedding when I went in to the shop to drop off our wedding bouquet charms. Allison was nice enough to show me what they looked like thus far and I was totally impressed. The flowers went perfectly with our theme, time of year, and colors. They were fresh and lasted the entire day (actually they lasted for weeks!). Everyone in my wedding party mentions how much they loved the arrangements. This is a great floral shop and I recommend them wholeheartedly!
