He did my wedding flowers and when I say they were absolutely PERFECT, they were PERFECT! It was such a honor to have him to take care of my wedding flower needs- I went in and gave him my ideas and he executed them more than I could imagine. I made him very aware that I have allergies to pretty much everything and he gave me recommendations on what to substitute with that wouldn't have me sneezing. Greg did my Bride bouquet, I had 3 people in my bridesmaid party as well and my Husband and his party had 4 boutonnières that had to be made. Everything was made with so much love and detail. My wedding colors were red, white and black and everything fit the theme lovely. And nobody's flowers made me sneeze or uncomfortable at all the day of and I am so grateful for that he knew exactly what to do! Trust Greg will all your needs! I am a very picky but grateful person- and he gets me. And I also came to him last minute with what I wanted and he did it fast. A very quick turn around time. He had them ready in nice sturdy buckets and handed them off to my husband very easily. And the prices are so reasonable! I am beyond ecstatic!

Whenever I call, he answers right away, is polite and thoughtful, asks the right questions, and in the end, produces the best arrangements at a great price.

Excellent service, beautiful arrangement. My sister-in-law loved it. I will order again.read more

I visited Gilmore's Flower shop in East Providence RI over the weekend and I left so very…read moredisappointed. Let me say that I do understand it was the day before Mother's Day but there was only 2 other customers in the store when I was there. An employee came over and asked if we had been helped yet. We told her "no, we are waiting for assistance " she went to the back and came out with another woman who asked what we needed. I told her we were there to order a bridal bouquet. The second woman told me " I don't have anyone who can talk to you, you will have to come back another day". I have never felt so unvalued as a customer from a business as I did that day. No one could take 10 minutes to ask what exactly I needed. (I know it was 10 minutes because I timed the visit to a different florist who took the time to speak to me and it took 10 minutes to choose the flowers I liked and to pay her for them.) So my experience at Gilmore's was not good in any way that day. I specifically chose Gilmore's because I want to support local businesses as much as I can, but it seemed like while they were important to me, my business was not important enough to take a few minutes to talk to me.

Not only did the flowers arrive wilted and pathetic, the owner, Robin, was simply nasty when I called to bring it to her attention. While 1800flowers refunded me $34 of my $70 order and $20 off my next order (still short $16) Ms Robin missed the Mark when it came to customer satisfaction. I "simply" wanted to bring it to her attention. Her response, "I don't owe you a thing! It's cold outside and that's what happens!" Rude! Nasty! Unacceptable! Oh! Her ANSWERING SERVICE was more empathetic . They said,"Well she will probably send something else and some chocolate!" Key words: Answering Service Probably Ms Witch, Robin, said I cancelled that order.... I will simply shop elsewhere. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Thought I would share my experience, good and bad!…read more Maria is a very talented baker. I ordered cupcakes for my wedding. They were creative, delicious, and she has a great gluten free selection. She arranged delivery, which went without issue. We ran into a snag with pickup of the cupcake tower. Arrangements were made for the caterer to break down & pack up the tower, and Maria would pick it back up from the caterer's headquarters. This was so perfect and convenient for me! Except... I got an email from Maria soon after the wedding, explaining that she picked up the cupcake tower, only to find that it was cracked in two with most of the hardware missing. She needed to keep my $75 deposit, and suggested I contact my caterer for reimbursement. This is all understandable. However, after having followed up with Maria, she admitted that when she picked up the tower, she left without notifying anyone at the caterer, and just determined she would keep my deposit. In my opinion, it would have been proper to present the damage to the caterer at the time of pickup. In following up with the caterer, they assured me that it arrived at their headquarters in-tact. A classic case of he-said she-said, and I'm left to pay the price. I would not say that this situation was handled professionally by Maria. The tower should have been checked over & damages documented with the responsible party. Just because you have a client's deposit does not entitle you to make undocumented claims and keep the deposit.

This business is the kind of place that makes me wish I was a little more stingy about giving out five stars, because Maria's cakes are so good that they are in a totally different class from anything I've had anywhere else. Six stars for The Illuminated Oven! The carrot cake is so good that it's really hard not to order it any time I need something sweet for a special occasion. However, for Valentine's Day last year, I went with the classic red velvet (gluten-free), and oh my goodness, it was out of this world. I also ordered a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting for my boss's going-away party, as I thought those flavors would please everyone, and it was anything but boring. Several of the girls who ate it said that it was the best cake that they have ever had! Maria makes many more delciious-looking products other than cake which I am eager to try, but when I find something I like, I rarely stray. I am developing a hankering for some cake just writing this, and I am looking forward to the next time I order something from The Illuminated Oven!
