Praise from our clients

Maryann did the most wonderful work for my wedding. She really knew exactly what I had in mind and created the most perfect arrangements with such amazing attention to every detail. It was really such a pleasure to work with Maryann as well. I highly recommend Flowers On The Porch for any wedding and/or event!

Maryann was delightful to work with. She was thorough, offered appropriate suggestions, budget minded, creative, honest, and that's just about her. The flowers were amazing! My friends and family are still raving about how beautiful they were. I hadn't planned on having any of them preserved, but they were too beautiful to simply toss aside. Also, Maryann had never worked with a Chuppah (a Jewish wedding canopy.) She educated herself, and kept me actively informed of her findings and questions. I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Maryann (Flowers On The Porch). I am also planning on using her services again in the near future for our vow renewal (religious ceremony.)

My wedding was Memorial Day weekend 2005, and STILL people talk about how stunning my flowers were. My husband and I loved working with Maryann—she was wonderful, extremely open to our ideas, and willing to give us great ideas when we needed them or felt indecisive. Just seeing her home when we met her for the first time to discuss all the details proved her creative talents. She helped us keep our budget down, rather than trying to convince us to spend more than we should. I would recommend using her for any and all occasions.

Hi Maryann,

Hope all is well with you! David and I are doing well.

Just wanted to share, I recently wrote a note on the Knot.com and I would not mind if you'd like to post his on your website too.

I want to express how much I appreciated working with Flowers on the Porch. Maryann was extremely supportive of the process of planning my floral arrangements, following up with me on progress and implementing our plans. The day of the wedding, everything went exceptionally smooth. I was very happy with how our plans came together and many of my guests complimented me on the various arrangements. Not only is Maryann calm, patient and an amazing florist, working with her was fun! I was married on May 19th 2006 at the Belvedere Mansion in Rhinebeck, NY & I highly recommend using her services.

Thanks again Maryann. Take care!!!

Hi Maryann,

You did a great job bringing our vision to reality. Overall we were very happy with everything. Thanks for all your hard work and for the time you took with my Mother and I working out all of the details. That extra time you take with your customers really sets you apart from other florists. We could tell that you cared.

Best,
Rachel


Dear Maryann,

Thank you ever so much for all the gorgeous floral arrangements you created for my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. They really made an elegant statement. The various vases you chose were all so lovely and unique. You really hit the mark with all your selections!

Thank you also for all your help with planning the party—your expertise and contacts, your suggestions and guidance, the errands you ran, and all the extra touches you quietly added were invaluable to me. You are truly a professional, you are truly both an event AND floral studio, and I truly look forward to working with you again. I would be pleased to recommend you to potential customers, so feel free to give out my contact information.

Sincerely,

Wendy

Hello Maryann,

I was talking yesterday with Hilde and she loved the flowers. She was so happy about the flowers because she has never seen before such a beautiful arrangement of flowers in a bowl with the 6 orchids plants and the green plants and all the other flowers. Thanks again for the wonderful work you did.

Greetings,
Andreas Maurer


Hi Maryann,

I wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know how much everyone loved their bridal shower favor. Everyone thought they had just received a vase of fresh flowers. When they realized they could take them home and have them permanently, it was even better! Also, the bride told us that the state flower for North Carolina is the dogwood... how appropriate!

Thanks so much for the great work—just wanted you to know how well received it all was!

Thanks again,

Lynn Costa


Dear Maryann,

Thank you for the wonderful work you did for our Wedding Vow Renewal on May 1, 2005. It was just perfect! You coordinated the vases with the decor at Mansion Ridge Country Club so wonderfully, even the director of food and beverage was in awe!

My bouquet was exactly as I imaged it to be, the Swarvarski crystal bouquet jewels you inserted matched my dress and added that special touch to my bouquet. The girls bouquets were fabulous also, and the simple elegance you performed on the cake was beautiful. You helped make our 25th Anniversary a very special one!

Thanks so much,

Dolores and Albert Tirado


Maryann,

Just a quick note to let you know that we received so many compliments on the beautiful silk flower arrangements you made for our wedding. Everyone swore that the flowers were real and that the arrangements were so creatively put together. The color mixture was absolutely beautiful. The best part of it all is that I have incorporated the flowers into my home decor. Unlike real flowers, which would only last for so long, I have been able to enjoy and capture the remembrance of our wedding for some time to come. We would like to thank you for making our special day a beautiful one.

Sincerely,

Kenneth & Pamela Torres

Hello Maryann,

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful arrangements you made for the birthday party at Mansion Ridge, the art work in your design was fabulous! Everyone loved them and wanted to know who did them! Please send me business cards to pass out to my friends.

Thanks so much,
Linda


Hi Maryann,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! The flowers you did for my wedding were so beautiful, I got so many compliments on them throughout the night. You did exactly what I asked, but made them even more beautiful than I imagined! My mom went crazy for the urns and arbor you did, she thought they were gorgeous, as did I. The only thing I am sad about is that I have no reason just to stop by and see you anymore! You were an absolute pleasure to work with, you listened to all my ideas, went out of your way for me and you made my wedding day that much more beautiful. You have such talent, but in addition, you are a beautiful person. All our love and appreciation.

Mr. & Mrs. JEB & Judith Heaney

Thanks,
