I wish I could give Dori 10 stars. We got married at Isla Bella, the table centerpieces and arrangements were exquisite and stunning!! I think the guests were possibly taking more pictures of the flowers, than us. Dori was incredibly nice, a great communicator and easy to work with. I wish I lived locally so I could use her again, and can't say enough great things about her and her beautiful work! read more

In planning for my wedding, I did a crazy amount of research on all vendors. I visited KW to meet in-person with vendors, except for Dori at Marathon Florist (an hour drive). I did have a call with Dori before the trip. There are different Keys florists: 1. Wedding/Event Specialists, 2. Everyday Florists, and 3. Hybrids. Dori is most definitely the first. Due to our immediate connection, her extensive experience, positive reviews, owner-to-bride attention only, and passionate personality - my decision was a no brainer and I went with her. Dori's warm personality, passion, and spirit is evident each time we spoke - even over text. Dori will and does work around the clock for her brides and is one of the hardest worker's I know. Her shop is adorable, packed with décor to choose from, and always has an open door for her brides. Dori's floral and décor work at our wedding were beyond amazing (will add pics soon). My mom is a designer and she was blown away how impeccable Dori did with the decoration, and that is a lot coming from my mom. Additionally, her prices are reasonable for the market. She is not over priced like some wedding florists. Little did I know the amount of continuous one-on-one communications and overall fun/excitement we both equally had designing my wedding. We legit became good friends and communicated about things that had nothing to do with the wedding. Eventually, we were completing each other's sentences. Make your life easy and hire Marathon Florist. Flowers, décor, and service is out of this world. And, the experience couldn't have been better!!! read more

I ordered an arrangement for my mother's birthday. The website redirects to the teleflora network site. When my Mom sent me a photo of the flowers from her iPhone, I was shocked to see long stem red roses with baby's breath. I had ordered multi-colored roses and hydrangeas. There's a checkbox on the site, asking if the florist can create a different bouquet if the requested flowers aren't available. I didn't check the box, thinking that the florist would contact me if the specified flowers weren't available. I did not receive a call. I understand that Marathon is remote and access is limited, but a call would have been appreciated. The flowers were of similar value, and my Mom was happy, so while I was disappointed, it's not the end of the world. The kicker was that the florist called my mother and asked her to come pick up the flowers because she couldn't find the address, which is located on a main road. The bouquet was meant to be a surprise, not an inconvenience for my Mom on her special day. Not to mention that I had paid a delivery charge. I've learned that I should call to order arrangements. read more

Dori is amazing!! I could not have been happier with how the flowers for our wedding turned out. These included the centerpieces, the bouquets, the boutonnieres, and the decoration for the chuppah. Dori was professional and easy to work with from the get go. She was very responsive and I always felt at ease and like we were on the same page after any interaction. I did not have an exact, clear vision in mind for what I wanted, but Dori worked with me to understand the look I was going for. What she delivered was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! And all of it came at a super reasonable and very affordable price! (Her quote was the lowest of the 3 we received from florists in the Keys.) Choosing Dori and Marathon Florist was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of floral services in the Keys! You will not regret your choice!! read more

I cannot say enough good about Dori. Even small casual beach weddings have hiccups, and I lost my florist less than 2 months prior to the wedding. Already following Marathon Florist on IG, I figured it was way out of my price range, but sent a message - just in case. Not only was Dori very much IN my price range, she was quick to send me a quote and made floral suggestions as if she had known me for years! She was an absolute joy to work with. We were married on a Sunday in Key West, and Dori actually came into the shop on her day off to deliver the flowers. And - even months after the wedding - I am still speechless over how beautiful they were. Not only were they beautiful and perfect for the wedding, but my bridal and attendant bouquets continued to bloom for weeks following the event! AND they survived the plane ride home! I cannot say enough good about Dori and Marathon Florist. No matter your idea or price range, start with her, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Marathon Florist did a wonderful, and very affordable job for my wedding! They were professional and they cared! They were great!

Of all the vendors we chose for our October wedding in Islamorada, Dori at Marathon Florist was the most hassle-free and easiest to work with. That is high praise coming from a bride! There were vendors who needed constant attention, vendors who wouldn't communicate in a timely manner...not Dori. She answered my emails and texts immediately, even on days I knew she had other weddings or clients. She even picked up vases I'd purchased in Orlando one weekend when she was up here anyway. She also had one of her staff meet my bridesmaid in Miami to grab more vases a few weeks later. But the best part was the flowers she arranged for our day. She took my exact vision and made it happen. The flowers were glorious! I'm a chef so I wanted herbs and greens, rather than traditional flowers, and she put everything together beautifully. She is also just a very kind lady and made sure to stay within my budgets, AND found me some ways to save cost but still have impressive decor. I will never forget Dori and highly recommend her for anything needing floral decor. read more

I ordered flowers for my wedding via email. Dori was very prompt in replying to my request. She understood exactly what I was asking for and immediately sent me a quote. I was a bit hesitant, because I really thought my flowers should have cost more. Not knowing what to expect, when I received my flowers, they truly took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. They were so beautiful and even more plentiful then the photo I emailed her!! read more

I feel I must state my unhappiness with Marathon Florists. I was watching the sunset on the patio with guests at the end of our daughter and son-in-laws wedding. When I returned inside about 15 minutes later after the reception ended two urns of flowers from the church and three tall arrangements that had been in tall vases were gone! The wedding coordinator, Leslie, from JUST SAVE THE DATE, told me that everything had been sent to the bridal couple's room. For the next two days I tried to find the flowers! I finally learned that the florist had come and got the flowers! I knew I rented the vases and urns but I certainly expected the flowers to be left for our use as I felt they were mine as I paid for them! I spent a great deal of time selecting them and had plans to distribute them to certain friends. I only was able to enjoy the flowers for four hours! I feel like I only rented them! I requested a refund but was denied. I truly think I should have been left MY FLOWERS or asked what to do with them. Very very disappointed read more
