sion exactly what to do, and Dori made sure all my hopes were achieved by having the expertise to make the decisions for me. She was so encouraging and helpful. I would pick Marathon Florist again and again for my event. All our florals were incredibly beautiful, creatively displayed, and lasted for DAYS! These flowers are top-of-the-line. 10/10. Thank you so much for everything you did (from display, to set-up, to design) in making our wedding day better than we could imagine!
Our florals were absolutely gorgeous!! Before my husband and I even had a venue booked, I knew the look and feel I was searching for based on the flowers I had in mind... I had a v...
ision and Dori brought it to life!
I had a few asks for specific flowers and Dori made it happen. All flowers were delivered down to Key West on time without a hiccup, they looked incredible, and she honored a military discount for my husband.
Other florists we spoke to/considered were very "business-minded", but it was clear Dori is in this industry for the artistry and craft, doing what she could to accommodate what I was looking for.
Our florals were absolutely stunning and Dori is great to work with! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

y exceeded. Being a destination bride I did not get the opportunity to see any florals prior to my wedding day. When they arrived I was blown away with how perfect they were. They even made a memorial bouquet in honor of my mother in her favorite flowers that brought a touching feeling for my entire family. Thank you again for making my wedding dreams come true. - June 3,2023

ion come true even better than I imagined! The bouquets we wanted were tropical, colorful, and bright and boy did they deliver! All my bridesmaids and multiple guests were absolutely blown away with how they turned out! If I could give more than 5 stars I would - DEFINITELY recommend! There were so many little details, for example adding pearl bracelets for the Mother and Mother in Law corsages, that they went over with us that really made a difference! All communication was prompt and no detail was overlooked! Thank you for making our day so beautiful and special.

the venue did most of the communications. I was very happy with our florals and definitely recommend her.
Dori certainly has the vision for flowers and her arrangements and table settings for my daughter's wedding were lovely. Truly it was very pretty. Where she lacks is her communica...
tion and connection. We went weeks on end with NO response to emails or phone calls from my daughter or her planner. When she did reply it was brief "all is fine, sorry I've been busy". I certainly do understand how crazy times are, but at least a note/call saying "I got your note but am swamped" or something to that effect. I honestly thought I would be finding a new florist at the last minute then suddenly she responded.
In addition, on the wedding day she was very curt and unfriendly. When she moved the flower arch and my daughter's planner inquired Dori was very rude and said the new location had been the location all along. We had plenty of emails and photos to prove otherwise. Again, things do change given weather and such, but communication is key. In addition, when you meet a family on the wedding day can you not at least fake being happy for them. I understand her own life may have been crap that day but really you are in a hospitality field.
So while I can say your flowers will look very nice, I think the lack of communication and difficult personality would push me to recommend one of the other beautiful floral designers in the area.
Amazing and quality florals! We were so happy with the execution of their work!
