We chose to go with Westchester Floral as it was one of the recommended vendors through our venue. I was happy overall with their service. They do nice work arranging flowers and creating arrangements. However, if I were to chose again, I probably would have gone with a different florist. This is mainly because of the setup of this florist. I worked with Artie, who was very sweet. However, they really don’t have any flowers at the location. I was hoping to go there and give them a general idea of my style and vision, and have them pull out some flowers that fit that style and give me some examples. However, I had to actually ask for any type of pictures of visuals before they showed me even that. I gave them many pictures of exactly what I wanted, and when they set up my centerpiece sample, because the person I worked with was not the same people who created the actual arrangements were not the same, there was a hiccup in communication and the completely wrong centerpiece sample was created. I live an hour away from the florist and drove all the way there for virtually nothing as they had to create another sample appointment for me. They did apologize profusely, but I feel that it would have been appropriate that they comped something for me since it was completely their fault and was a major inconvenience and source of stress for me. Because of the lack of flowers in the place for them to show me (they would just write down ideas and now seeing that without an explicit image for them of what I wanted there was a chance they would create something different that would get lost in communication), the next time I came with very detailed notes and exact pictures of everything I wanted. This led to my flowers being very nice and consistent with my vision, but I do feel that I had to do 99% of the floral planning in order for this to happen. Finally, my groom showed a picture to them of the boutonniere he wanted - a simple rose with 2 shamrocks. They put it down in the notes and never said it could not be done, but apparently it couldn’t because on the day of the wedding they gave him a plain rose with no shamrocks and not even any attempt of anything to look like two shamrocks (I have seen it done with 2 green hydrangea buds as well but they did not even try to do this). All in all, I would say that although Artie was very sweet and they did finally create attractive arrangements, the lack of organized communication there along with the lack of actual flowers there in order to work with clients and show them visuals of their visions leads me to give Westchester Floral Decorations an unfavorable rating.

I have three words for Westchester Floral....I LOVE DANNY!!! We had booked another florist and went to see Westchester Floral on a whim after reading tons of positive reviews on the inernet. Boy was that a great decision! After talking to me for less than 5 minutes, Danny saw my vision. He knew exactly what I wanted and what would make me happy. He articulated what I wanted when I wasnt even able to do so. I was so impressed that we booked him on the spot. Throughout the planning process he was wonderful to deal with. He is super easy-going, funny, and just an all around great person to deal with. I was sad at our last meeting because I knew I wouldnt be seeing him anymore. The flowers at my wedding were S T U N N I N G!! The bouquets were gorgeous. They were better than I could have imagined. Westchester Floral wasnt pushy and they have very respectable prices. I just cant say enough good things about my experience with them. My wedding would never have been as beautiful without Westchester Floral. We also booked lighting through them, which turned out beautifully and was much nicer than the lighting offered by my reception venue. I highly recommend them for any floral needs!!!!

I just used Westchester Floral for my wedding at the surf club. They were the house florist and Artie the man i worked with actually used to have an office at the surf club. I actually asked a friend to do a consult with me first about the flowers, and while there price was good you could tell their experience was terrible compared to Westchester Floral. As soon as i started to talk about my wedding, Artie got me right away and knew how things would work at the surf club more than others. He actually knew more about the surf club than the other workers. They designed my chuppah perfectly, that the day of my father tried to tell the workers what to do and they came to find me because it was not my view, thank god they did! The flowers were perfect and beautiful! Couldnt have asked for anything better!!

Initially, Ill admit that I wasnt terribly excited to go pick out flowers with my fiancé. The centerpieces at all of the weddings we had recently attended looked the same to us - boring. We are not boring. Of note, we met with another local floral place before going with Westchester. Despite favorable online reviews, they basically tried to push the same boring flowers on us, lacked creativity, and insulted us with limited options given our budget. Not here! Our flowers were vibrant, fresh, popped, and really helped to make our pictures, venue, and wedding in general AMAZING! Working with John throughout was great. He is cool dude who really knows his stuff and did an incredible job helping interpret / bringing our vision to life. Highly, highly recommend.

They would paint you a dream. horrible! Im petite and I stressed to the staff please dont make my bouquet be oversized, it was actually the size of me. My vases was not what I asked for. I asked for 6 stands 2 at each end and w in the middle, of course it was 4 at the top and two in the middle. The guest could hardly see me because it blocked my view. They offered compliment rose petals for the flower girl and never send them. I had high expectations and was confidant in there service. But I was totally disappointed.
