Petals Premier

What a disappointment! Promised everything, but delivered nothing. Butonierres looked like clown flowers, gazebo decorated with bouquets, stems and all, goes through the motions of doing a trial sample of centerpieces, then does the same old design for every wedding the same, shows up late and delays ceremony in order to decorate last minute, and finally sends Patti, who could totally care less, has an attitude, and is no where to be found to address issues. Look elsewhere!

Adam and Patti did a gorgeous job on the flowers for my wedding day. They were beautiful – tall, lush and full. They were without a doubt the most beautiful flowers that I have ever seen in person. I was blown away.
I took off one star because leading up to the wedding, we had a few miscommunications. For example, we scheduled an appointment where we thought we would be meeting with Adam but ended up meeting with Patti. And there were a few occasions where we felt like we were being encouraged to augment our budget. But these were very minor issues and because of the amazing job they did on the wedding day, I would not hesitate to recommend this business to any bride. Thanks, Adam and Patti!

I don’t even know where to start.
Our wedding was June 28^th and we saw Petals Premier at the bridal show for the first time at the Florentine Gardens.
Adam who is the owner and might I say an amazing personality by far a really nice guy by first approach and had a personality that I felt like I knew for a long time.
We had a year and a Half to plan. Me and my Fiancé(then) went to a couple florists and called around, when we walked into Adams place him and workers were so ORGANIZED and WELCOMING.
Right off the start we had told him a budget that we had to work with and the first response he said was «Done, I don’t want you to worry about a thing, I will take care of everything.» That felt really comforting and we left EVERYTHING up to him. Every e-​mail was responded within a couple hours and all we had to do was send him pictures of the bouquets or Centerpieces we wanted and he took care of the rest.
His Demo table 6 months before the wedding was exactly what we wanted. The flowers during the wedding were absolutely PERFECT. Not 1 wilted flower.
I CANNOT thank him enough!!! He had our Cake looking beautiful our Church looking amazing for the Pictures, and Our reception center pieces were soooooo glamorous and «memory table» was so elegant and brought tears to our eyes.

My daughter was married on July 4^th at the Florentine gardens. Everything that day was perfect except for the flowers. Adam is very good at saying yes and then he does exactly what he wants. We discussed with him numerous times exactly what we wanted, sent him many photos but still received something different that day. We had 12 girls in the bridal party and my daughter said she wanted whimsical, abstract wildflower bouquets. NOT ROUND! We got round with mostly roses, and when I called him the day of and also left an email he never returned our call or replied to our e-​mail. Still haven’t been contacted by him. That was just the icing on the cake. He had an attitude everytime we talked or emailed with him. We booked him 3 years ago and the wedding was cancelled 6 months before and he kept our 3000.00 deposit (even though he never used or ordered any flowers) and when we used him again (same couple) he only gave us a 1500.00 credit towards a 12,500.00 job. He also wanted to be paid in cash in full the day before. When my daughters dad said «how do I know you will deliver?» he made some stupid remark. We had 275 and were possibly going to have 330 (it was a holiday) so when we told him there were 24 tables instead of 28 or 30 he was like «WOW that’s quite a drop well OK.» Completely unprofessional and full of himself! The reason I gave him 2 stars is because the tables arrangements were very pretty but it was alot of work and attitude making that happen. We also had to ask his people to move the trees he made from blocking the entire ceremony, something we also discussed with him ahead of time. Then when I asked his designer who was setting up at the venue why our flowers were round her answer was because they would look messy if they weren’t. We wanted messy! Why would he say yes and then do what he wants? Would never ever recommend this company!

The flowers for my wedding were absolutely stunning! Adam did such a fantastic job bringing even more beauty to my wedding day. My bridesmaids, groomsmen, husband, and I all had beautiful flowers. When my husband and I walked into our reception we were so astounded by the magnificent job Adam and his team did to execute my vision of a romantic summer wedding. I could go on and on about the wonderful service and attention to detail that was paid for our wedding. Thank you Adam!

We are entirely glad we made the right decision to go with Adam Leffel /​Petals Premier as the florist of choice for our wedding! His creative vision and dedicated talented team helped make our dream wedding come true.
The centerpieces he created were simply amazing! Alternating between tables with 2 different types of designs he took our already beautiful venue and put it over the top. Individual flowers for the wedding party and bridal bouquet were simply beautiful. The quality of flowers Adam provided are the freshest I’ve have ever seen. My family took home some of the flowers and they remained alive for almost 2 weeks.
In addition to flowers, Adam and his creative design team provided a custom step and repeat background for our open air photo booth. Everyone of our guests loved it! Gave it more of ‘red carpet’ atmosphere. It was simply put, awesome!
Highly recommend Adam and his team! Put your trust in him and let Petals Premier create your dream wedding!

Ok, so what do I really care about flowers for the wedding? Well I didn’t until the day but man did they do a great job. We got married at the Park Savoy, which doesn’t need too much help looking good but Adam really took it up to the next level. Flowers everywhere, absolutely everywhere. Even being a novice in this terrain you can tell poor quality flowers… conversely you can tell high quality flowers. Adam delivered all high quality stuff in a very tasteful way.
I was really happy with how the flowers turned out. I was told the flowers looked like they were from a TV wedding.
Also, I hear Adam deals with bridezillas well… (I think the wife emailed him on a daily basis) you can thank me later.

This was the WORST vendor we had hired for our wedding. Biggest headache and mistake. Both Adam and Patti lied to us to no end with verbal agreements that they had made beyond our written contract. When it came down to our wedding day, they did not show up as promised and nothing we had was taken care of. They charged us for more centerpieces than we had received and refuted to reimburse us our money back. Beyond that, the flowers were wilted the time we walked into our ballroom, and my bride bouquet was brown within a few hours of delivery. On top of that the entry table we planned out was not set up as we had discussed, even after wasting our time 2 hours to long island to do a walk through upon their request. Then to boot on top of all of this we tried writing our bad reviews on wedding websites like wedding wire and adam disputed my bad review so his company did not look bad or have any negative reviews on his page (as you can see only 5 star reviews on that webpage). Through all of the ways this company screwed us over on our most important day of our lives, they did not have any remorse nor apologize. ABSOLUTE disgrace. I would most definitely NEVER recommend this company to anyone. Please BEWARE!

Outstanding flowers and design! I worked with Adam from California for our June 1^st, NYC wedding, and I was very pleased. Adam was very attentive, professional, and it was so easy to work with him especially since all our communications were via email. The flowers, candles, etc. were gorgeous! Thank you, Adam and your team! I definitely recommend Petals Premier for any special occasion!

We had Petals Premier provide flower services for our wedding in May
2013 at Pleasantdale Château. Adam Leffel, the Owner and Creative
Director, was a pleasure to work with. He was personable and thorough,
and his communication was prompt from the moment we reserved his
services. On the day of the event, his team arrived on time and did a
fantastic job with the setup. The flowers were large, full and
beautiful, providing a wonderful complement to the venue’s décor.
Since we reside in California, all arrangements were done from a
distance, so we weren’t able to see an actual sample of the flowers.
The colors were a bit off from what was expected, but Adam was very
professional and provided a very reasonable partial refund. We were
impressed with the level of service and the professional way in which
he handled his clients. We highly recommend his team of professionals
if you are looking to have your flowers for your wedding or other
special event.

Adam is fantastic. He is creative, easy to work with, and calming all at the same time. Each meeting with Adam was informative and beneficial. He asked all the right questions and was prepared for everything. For example, if you want an outdoor ceremony, even if there is a 0% chance on your wedding day, Adam will have an arch and preparations for an indoor ceremony.
My bouquet was gorgeous. He also took care to wrap my grandmother’s lace wedding gloves around them with perfect pearl accents. I was worried that my husband and his friends would ruin the boutonnieres easily, so he recommended the perfect flower that would last. I didn’t really even have to worry, because all of the flowers lasted and looked beautiful the entire night.
Our hot-​air balloon card holders were spectacular. Adam hung them beautifully with hydrangea poufs for clouds. We received many positive compliments on the hot-​air balloons and centerpieces alike. Petals Premier and Adam will make your wedding beautiful and totally you.

It was a true pleasure working with Adam Leffel and his entire staff at Adam Leffel Productions/​Petals Premier on our son’s Bar Mitzvah.
He was low pressure, offered great suggestions and had an array of options to chose from.
He was also mindful of our budget. The flowers were breathtakingly beautiful and he suggested flowers on every other table and we did lampshades on the other tables.
The bottom of the lampshades had a very sculptural flower arrangement as well. He also placed a band around the lampshade with our son’s monogram on it.
Adam also helped us select the colors for the table linens as well as the lighting from the venue. Petals Premier is a recommended vendor at our venue and he knew every nuance and rule of the venue.
For the kid’s side of the room, Adam provided fabulous lounge furniture, a light up table with a table top design of a logo and the
pièce de résistance were the two dance cages he did in the back corners of the dance floor.
They were a big hit! He also had custom pillows made with magazine covers on them and 2 very large posters on canvas with our son’s theme and 2 large table top double-​sided mounted posters also with his theme. We were able to take home all of the art work and pillows.
Our daughter is being Bat Mitzvahed in 4 years and we can’t wait to work with Adam again.
His whole team did a first class job.
We recommend him without reservation, he will not disappoint and you will be thrilled!
Ask him to show you pictures of his work, it’s spectacular!

Petals Premier and Adam Leffel really disappointed me on my wedding day. My parents wanted to do everything they could for me, and forked over an extra 400 DOLLARS to have lush stripes of rose petals lining the aisle as I walked down. Sure enough, on the day of the wedding, they weren’t there. It was SO disappointing. My mother called Adam the next day to let him know, and he never returned her phone call. I emailed him twice, and never got a return phone call. When my mother called him again, his excuse was that his crew was up until 2 am the night before at another wedding. No apology, and no offer to refund their money. Messing up my wedding was one thing, but not returning money he took for something but didn’t deliver AND not apologizing takes Adam’s behavior to a whole different level of dishonest business practice. Since Adam requires all payments to be made prior to the wedding, our only recourse now is to sue him. If you do go with Petals Premier, I highly suggest not paying everything upfront so that he has some reason to deliver as promised.

This florist was recommended by our caterer; we had never met him or worked with him but from the moment we started he met with us more than once, did up samples, suggested tablecloths, told us we should spend on lighting, told us he would stay within our budget, and promised the A team. We got the A++++ team; the flowers and chuppa were elegant, classy and just what we wanted, the centerpieces were exactly as we ordered, elegant beautiful and not huge or overdone and the green and gold tableclohts were out of the world. And by the way the bouquets were gorgeous. We can’t say enough for Adam, the owner, he gets any party job we could have. And to top it off he stayed under our budget, and has the best sense of humor. Don’t even look elsewhere, go directly to him. XOXO

I worked with Adam Leffel of Petals Premier for my wedding. His work was absolutely amazing — people are still talking about it three years later.
Adam and his team worked tirelessly to help my husband and me achieve the perfect floral setting that met our budget. We never felt like we couldn’t tell him what we did or didn’t want no matter how times we may have changed our minds!
We received the utmost professionalism and courtesy from Petals Premier. We were confident with their work and so pleased by their dedication to our day. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for floral arrangement or design for their special day.
