My only gripe is that it's VERY old school, you fill out an interest form online, then they call you, then there might be a game of email/phone tag to take payment over the phone or confirm additional details about the delivery. Next time I'll probably order elsewhere that has the full online experience to place the order, pay, and get real-time delivery updates, I just don't have time to deal with the old-school ordering process.

Unfortunately, the person I spoke with hung up on me before I had a chance to fully ask my question. I called back, and the same individual responded in a very rude manner, saying, 'I told you multiple times we don't have that, I don't know why you keep asking me,' before hanging up again. I only asked my question once and was trying to ask a follow-up when I was abruptly cut off. This level of unprofessionalism and lack of courtesy is unacceptable.

I was searching for a florist to assist with a very specific order, and after contacting many…read moreplaces, I called The Virginia Florist. They were incredibly helpful throughout the process. I spoke with Anne, who was amazing, and then with Kendall, who was just as helpful and attentive to every detail. As an executive assistant tasked with finding local florists for my executives to send flowers to friends, family, and colleagues, it can be daunting and sometimes overwhelming to find reliable vendors who understand the importance of quality and service. When you encounter outstanding people like Anne and Kendall, you take note and want to use them for future purchases. Their professionalism and warmth made the experience not only stress-free but truly enjoyable. Thank you again, Anne and Kendall, for making this a great experience and for going above and beyond to help with my order.

If I could give this florist a zero, I would. I received an arrangement for Mother's Day 2022. It…read morewas attractive, but I noticed that the roses had brownish edges when I received it. The arrangement started wilting the day after I received it on Monday and by the entire arrangement was completely wilted by Wednesday. The flowers were never fresh to begin with. Perhaps they were leftover from an event? It sure looks that way. This shop's "arrangements" start at $85.00!! These look like they were purchased from a street vendor. Safeway has longer lasting flowers that are much more reasonably priced. I've called and left messages with this florist several times, but they are not calling me back after five days. Now I see that this business is temporarily closed and will reopen in August. This sounds like a "fly by night" business. So my assumption is that they don't care about their business or customers. If you want flower arrangements for your special occasion to look like the attached photos after three days, by all means, order from these people.
