Over the past few years I've used 1-800-Flowers for purchasing flowers. They've either arrived late…read moreor of poor quality. At some point last year I got fed up and said next time I bought flowers it would be from someone local. Mother's Day 2021 arrived and I needed to order flowers. Quick searching brought me to Town & Country Gardens. I ordered flowers from the website and there were plenty of delivery options for the upcoming days. I asked for it to be delivered the day before Mother's Day (Saturday). Sure enough, it showed up on Saturday. Not only was it on time but the quality of the flowers were excellent. My wife was impressed. Roses were the size of my fist. Very pleased with how they turned out. Yes, Town & Country Gardens is a bit more expensive than 1-800-Flowers. But I spent a little more to get higher quality out of a local business. Seems like a win to me. I'll definitely be using Town & Country Gardens as my go to shop for flowers.

We ended up driving back with them in the car through -10 degree weather for 30 hours straight and they are still doing great over a week later, minus the roses because those are always the first to go.

Walked in strangers - left as family…read more Let me start off by saying how much I appreciate the owners, John and April! Their warmth and kindness resonates throughout Vanity Tattoo. Every interaction my daughter and I had with them this evening starting with our phone conservation was handled in such a positive and genuine manner that we felt like family. Both John and April went above and beyond to understand my daughter's piercing needs and make her feel comfortable. They asked her about look and placement, made sure the hoops were the right size for her face and fitted her with the highest grade jewelry available. I stood there fully aware she was in good hands - that they truly had her best interest at heart. If you're evaluating sites looking for the right place - you can stop now. Vanity Tattoo is the real deal - family oriented, friendly, clean, customer focused and professional. We could not be any happier with my daughter's piercing and our experience.

I needed a photographer for my daughter's 2019 Quinceañera…read more I found Bobbi on Google, and set up a meeting to go over what I was looking for, and what was important to us on our daughter's birthday. Bobbi brought a good variety of what she could offer in terms of a finished product like High quality album samples, as well as large print samples to our meeting. I was very pleased with how our meeting went, and booked her for our event. Days leading up to our event Bobbi requested a list of the guests I told her I wanted to make sure we captured with my daughter the day of the party. I'm SOOOO GLAD that she did...if it weren't for her prompting this list request from me I would not have been able to remember, or keep track the day of the party as I was busy with other details. By me giving Bobbi the list, she was able to keep track for me...which was a huge relief for me. She captured everything we wanted, the pictures came out BEAUTIFULLY!!! Bobbi's attention to detail, kind demeanor, professionalism, and ease to work with is why you should absolutely hire her for your next event. Her work is impeccable, the way she frames her shots, and the candid pictures were more than we could have hoped for. The photos were available for online viewing in a relatively short amount of time. I was able to share the link with our guests, so they could view, and order the prints of their choosing. The finished album- we opted for thick paged album- is so beautiful. Bobbi even came to my home with a projector, to help me choose the perfect size for our wall prints. She was able to project the photos we wanted onto the wall and by doing this, I felt 1000% more confident on the sizes we ordered. Bobbi went above and beyond for us on our very special day. Put your mind at ease, and book Bobbi for your professional photography needs!

We're sorry this is so delayed, Victoria, but I wanted to make sure that you and the world knew how happy we were with our photos. Victoria and her team were fantastic! She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and they turned out amazing. Honestly, exceeded my expectations, given the typical, plain photos I'm used to seeing from weddings. She gave us a mix of portraits, moments and detail shots, all of which were fantastic. Originally, we didn't want to see each other before the ceremony and we were going to try to shove all our photos into an hour after the reception, all the while missing our cocktail hour. Boy am I glad Victoria recommended first look photos... I don't know if I would have survived the day otherwise! It took a few months for me to come around to the idea, but I'm so happy we did. I was so stressed about the day-of schedule the weeks leading up to our big day. When we decided to switch our schedule completely at the very last minute, Victoria took it in lock-step and the whole day ended up just perfect! WE HAD SO MUCH MORE TIME TO ENJOY and we weren't rushing around from event to event. Thank you, Victoria, for helping me keeping my sanity on the day-of and leading up to it. We had such a wonderful day! PS. Here is my favorite picture of that day... WHUT!?!?!?!?!?
