I'm almost running out of time, getting married June 23rd and have no florist and haven't ordered bridesmaid dresses yet. I don't think i'm gonna have enough time to look at many florists but my reception hall suggested Spitz and Peck. I am wondering if they are worth the meeting or should I just look at Flowers by Brian since i've heard of them before?
I booked Spitz & Peck for my Nov. wedding. I met with Richard at the Huntington location, he was great. His first question was 'what is your budget'. I liked that, and he was animated and seemed to care. The guy at Flowers by Brian didn't seem like he cared one way or another about his job. I just didn't get that great of a vibe.
I went to Flowers by Brian and was quoted an amount, never asked my budget. I went to Spitz and Peck and Rich was wonderful. He sat w/us for 2hrs going over options and getting a feel for what I liked and wanted. I felt bad b/c I kept saying one thing but really wanting another. We finally got it together in the end.
When people ask, I tell them I booked S&P and they say that the flowers will be outrageous, and that's what I wanted. Rich told me I wouldn’t have to worry and he was right.
BTW, The Spitz and Peck quote was cheaper than Flowers by Brian.
I am using Spitz and Peck as well...which hall are you getting married at? My sister used them 2 years ago, she had the most beautiful flowers and they are wonderful!!!
Spitz & Peck is one of the 4 mandatory florists my reception site is making me use. (NYC location)
I told them emphatically what my budget was and got a quote for exactly that. However, their quote was very vague so before I even considered booking them I requested a more detailed contract.
I have heard not so great things about them before so make sure you get it all in writing.
the same wedding date. I choose S&P over Flowers by Brian. I agree with Kris, they were more helpful and concern with what we wanted and could afford. We went to the Cedarhurst location. :-)
They were wonderful to deal with and their prices were really good too.
I did not like the fact that Spitz and Peck called me the day after 9/11 and asked me if I wanted to discuss my wedding flower needs with them. I thought it was very inconsiderate given everything that was going on and I had never called them requesting an appointment. My wedding is not until 11/2002 so it was not like I was under a time crunch and needed this decided that week. After that, I refused to even met with them.
I'm getting married at Woodbury Country Club. I'm having almost 300 people coming to my wedding. I feel like i should've hired a wedding planner because i'm so confused. But visiting LIWEDDINGS.COM have helped me alot and I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart.
