Everything was very easy and streamlined from my point of view and my flowers turned out Amazing!. I couldn't have ask for a better experience and I was so happy to have Jodi and her team be a part of my big day! \n\nWe found Jodi after meeting with three other florists and having a three terrible experiences. Jodi was completely different (in a very good way) than anyone we had talked to. I called and let a message which Jodi for an initial consultation. She returned my call herself within a timely manner and we set up an appointment that was convenient for me.\n\nI was very impressed upon meeting Jodi. She has a great personality which immediately puts you at ease and puts a smile on your face. She is so excited about life and what she does that you can't help but get really excited about your wedding flowers too. Jodi only does wedding flowers so she really knows her stuff! One of the most important things to note is that Jodi really listened to my vision and my ideas for my wedding flowers. The initial consultation took about an hour as I had lots of ideas, but Jodi was very patient and always made me feel comfortable. I felt like she really understood my ideas and I felt good about the meeting when I left.\n\nJodi sent a quote via mail and email just a couple of days later. All the paperwork and emails were very professional and easy to understand which I really appreciated. I contracted with Jodi for a minimal deposit which I also appreciated because it can be quite unnerving paying out a large sum of money for services that wont happen for quite some time. Jodi understands this and her deposit amount to hold the date was very reasonable.\n\nThe date of our wedding was over a year away and my vision evolved during this time. Jodi was absolutely amazing to work with. She was always happy to meet with me and make any and all changes that I desired. She returned phone calls and emails promptly and really made my life easier which is wonderful when planning such a large event as mine. Payment was also very easy. A final invoice was sent once my date was close and Jodi happily accepted credit cards (I say this because for some reason a lot of our other vendors would only accept cash or check.) My final invoice was clear and exactly what I expected with no surprises or hidden charges.\n\nThe day of the wedding came and Jodi and her team were amazing! First the bridal party flowers were stunning. Jodi did a great job of creating modern arrangements using gorgeous white Calla Lilly's. I was so very pleased with my bouquet! The flowers were more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Second, the flowers for the reception were spectacular. Jodi created close to 100 arrangements using absolutely brilliant giant dark blue hydrangeas! We had so many compliments on our reception flowers. Our guest were in awe!\n\nWe will definitely be recommending Flowers by Jodi to everyone we know who are tying the knot!"^^ . "0"^^ .
