Spring Flowers & Events

Don’t use this vendor!!! Save your money
I promise you will be disappointed if you hire Sammy! My cousin got married on March 29^th 2015. She shopped around a lot and met Sammy and his wife, they gave her a great price, little did she know it will cost her at her wedding.
Turns out he had a few events that night
Which explains why he completely ignored her party coordinators nonstop calls through the night, tons of stuff were missing including a huge chandelier that was supposed to be in the huppah, missing flowers, candles, sweetheart table wasn’t the one chosen, flower girl headpieces weren’t ready on time, his people were putting them together as the Ceremony was starting and they all fell apart (needless to say the pictures came out awful)
He reused the same flowers that were used in the aisle, and decided to use them as centerpieces
The colors of the sweet table were wrong and didn’t match the theme and the list goes on and on.
She took him to court, she won.
Save your money.

My husband and I had a very bad experience with Spring Flowers. After meeting with a couple of florists for our wedding, we were initially pleased to meet with Samay, as he offered the same flowers the other florists had offered us, but at a much more reasonable price. So naturally, we signed a contract with him. Little did we know there was of course a catch. As our event got closer and we had to meet with him to discuss details, we found that he kept on adding costs to our original contract. After adding about 1K to our initial contract price, we thought we were done. However, for several weeks, Samay failed to send us an updated contract and we spent a considerable amount of time in the days leading up to our wedding, stressed and trying to get a hold of him. He kept ignoring our phone calls. After several calls and messages, he finally sent us an updated contract. However, to our dismay and disbelief, on our wedding day, he ended up not delivering two of the major and crucial items listed on the updated contract. I would definitely not recommend this florist to anyone; especially not for your wedding as it is one of the the most important days of your life and he will disappoint.

I would just like everyone to know that Samay is a very pleasant man and he seemed to listen and understand what we would like out of our flowers, however in the end, he did his own thing. Nothing turned out to be what we ordered and what was written on our invoice. Here are some examples:
1. Centerpieces High Vases — per sample, we agreed on at least 7 orchids hanging down from each tall center piece. Per our phone conversation you said you gave me more than 7. Wedding pictures will show that in most cases there were NO orchids hanging (I have a picture of a sample agreed on).
2. Centerpieces Low (table level) — I was very specific that NO Hydrangeas are to be present. It was also states in the contract that NO hydrangeas’ in low centerpieces. Pictures will show that low center pieces had an overpowering number of hydrangeas’, some roses and NO orchids;
3. Sweetheart Table — THERE WERE NO CASCADING ORCHIDS OR TULIP ROSES PRESENT which is what we specifically asked for.
4. Chuppah — original set up was NOT even close to what contract was signed for. Chiffon was dirty, chuppah set up was totally wrong, and there was no Chandelier. After making a scene, your wife and your team was scrambling to get chuppah close to what the contract states. There were a few orchids present but they were damaged and had some black spots on them, so I asked for these orchids to be removed. As for the Chandelier, it finally arrived 20 minutes to 6pm and it was pretty embarrassing to me to see your wife setting up the chandelier as the guests were arriving. The ceremony was to start at 6 pm and most of the guests were sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for our coordinator to let them know when they can take a seat for the ceremony. (hotel manager and my coordinator will vouch for that).
5. Aisle — there was no runner set up at the aisle because your wife said that it was windy. When we discussed the possible issue of wind, you said that the runner will be fixed to the floor and there shouldn’t be a problem, instead it was rushed at my request and thrown to the floor by your workers because the ceremony was about to start. Also when we were discussing the contract, you suggested we have fake candles instead of real ones due to possible wind issue. I thought it was a great idea but can’t blame you on this one as I didn’t notice that you didn’t change that item in our contract. While we were going down the aisle, it was pretty dark and the runner was all over the place because it was not double taped to the ground.
6. Boutonniers — we ordered mini calla flowers, instead we got roses.
We have met at least 5 times over the past year discussing my order, sent pictures and still didn’t get what I have ordered. We wasted so much time driving to your office which ended up being a waste. You seem to take on too many projects at once and end up losing the quality of the product. You weren’t even present the day of the wedding to oversee everything. We spent so much money and the end product was not what we asked for. What a dissapointment.

Big events can be a stressful time and vendors can make it or break it.
Sammy and his staff MADE it! Creative, friendly, easy going and honest. Yes, honest.
From day one, Sammy wrote down everything that I requested for my wedding and gave me a copy. No «misunderstandings» at all.
Very patient. We changed our minds a few times and he was very accommodating.
The night of our event, they went above and beyond. They used fresh, beautiful flowers that made our venue look incredible.
Spring Flowers & Events is THE the floweriest you want for your next event. They really did a fantastic job,
I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Spring Flowers & Events, Thank you!

Samay was great to work with. I used him for my wedding in Sept 2013 and gave him very little instruction. He was able to carry out my dream and even more. Absolutely beautiful! People are still talking about my centerpieces! Can’t wait to use him again!
