    A long time friend of mine suffered the loss of his stepmother. She was ill for a long time and it…read morewas sadly her time to pass. They live in Eastern Baltimore County. I live north of Dallas, TX. Went to the website (through the funeral home webpage) and was impressed by the selection available. I chose a blue and white basket with an angel and a sympathy card. The order was placed easily and the price was very reasonable. I was given an order confirmation and receipt within hours. The afternoon of the visitation, I texted my friend to offer support and he sent me a picture of what I had ordered. The flowers were gorgeous and I was so glad they could bring beauty to a sad occasion. He told me that they were beautiful. The picture shows it. Thank you Flowers and Fancies.

    I prefer supporting local businesses so when it came time to order flowers for my mother's December…read morebirthday, I placed what was perhaps my second or third order at Flowers & Fancies. I placed the order online, scheduled pick up, and moved on with my life. Unfortunately, I received an email about 5 days before I was due to pick up the arrangement essentially advising that my selection was no longer available because the flowers wouldn't be in season the month of December. Huh? They explained that they would do their best but I asked for a refund instead. Apparently there was a website issue that allowed the purchase to go through but shouldn't have. Disappointed and frustrated, I placed a last minute birthday order with a large corporation and tried to put the matter behind me. Well color me surprised when the Flowers & Fancies team sent me an arrangement to apologize for the error. I was shocked, surprised, and necessarily reminded that mistakes happen and it's best to have patience and understanding, especially for local, well meaning businesses. The arrangement provided is gorgeous and makes the one I ordered from a large corporation just doesn't compare. Thank you to Heather and the Flowers & Fancies team for making it right. I look forward to supporting in the future.

    I just wanted to give a shout-out to Janda Florists. I wanted flowers for my Mama for Mother's Day…read moreand gave this local shop a call. I didn't know what to expect, because the shop was closed due to COVID measures. They had limited inventory (mind you, I waited until only a few days before Mother's Day) and the prices were steep. Still, I wanted to gift my mother a petunia hanging basket and so I placed my order. The lady in charge of entering and processing my order did a fantastic job. It was seamless. She promised me she would "pick out a nice one" and boy did she; the purple petunia hanging basket was full and healthy, it overflowed -- and it was the smallest (cheapest) I could buy (afford). My mother adored the flowers and you could tell that this local business puts their hearts into fulfilling orders. It was easy, seamless, and in the end, worth every dollar spent. Plus, I feel good about helping a local business during this madness of COVID. Thank you so much, Janda Florists!

    Horrible service. Ordered online for next day delivery to be a surprise to a friend in an apartment…read morecomplex. Their on line system asked who the sender was (me) which caused the people filling the order some confusion which caused the first delay. Once that was straightened out, I asked that the flowers be delivered in the morning, not to leave them at the door or with a neighbor and instead to call me if they can't leave the flowers with the recipient. They said sure, no problem, they would do this. They didn't. Called them at 11:30 a.m. the flowers weren't delivered - was told the driver was back from morning funeral deliveries which "took priority". My delivery was in Cockeysville about 15 minutes from Janda, so, that made no sense. By 3:45 p.m. received an email flowers were delivered but hadn't heard from my friend, which was odd. Called Janda and they said the driver left the flowers with a random person who said they knew my friend and said they could get the flowers over tonight. Thank goodness there are a ton of other florists to choose from. Don't bother with this one unless you don't care when the flowers are delivered or who they are delivered to... Spent $116.00 to do something nice for someone that was completely botched by Janda's horrible service. Don't waste your money.

    It was a rather stressful day for me, as I was unaware many floral boutiques closed early for New…read moreYear's Eve. I wanted to buy a custom bouquet for my Aunt who had passed on New Year's day and combed through the many florists located nearby and found none that were open. Until I located this gem of a place! To begin, I did place a phone call but went to voicemail. So I searched their facebook page (which is very up to date!) and found that they were still open until 5PM. After arriving, this location has an outside door that's hidden away, so you can also enter through the main building to get here. Upon first impression, it is very whimsical and quite cozy. There are also healthy houseplants for sale throughout the shop. There are also plant related things throughout the store, so it's definitely a place where you can buy small gifts for friends! The pricing is not bad on these products as well! Now to the flowers, I was informed due to the holiday they had a small selection to choose from, but it was still very plentiful from what I have seen! The flowers were very beautiful and in fresh condition. I asked for a bouquet within a certain price range and the florist kindly assisted me with the selection. They asked for my opinion consistently and made sure I was satisfied with each stem chosen. It was very speedy as well! The florist was very personable and patient with me, which I appreciated a lot as I was a bit flustered throughout my time in the store. My bouquet was very cute and personalized to what I requested as well. The florist was so kind and I really had a memorable experience here. Though it's a bit out of the way, I know this is a place I will frequent from now on. Thank you to the florist here who was kind with me and made my experience so comfortable. I regret not taking a picture of the bouquet!!! The flowers were so fragrant and beautiful as well!

    Do NOT use this business to send flowers to people. I had ordered well in advance to have flowers…read moresent to a friend the day before her birthday. (I'm out of town). By the day after her birthday, none had arrived. (It was an expensive order also). When I called, the response was confused and tepid. The person mumbled something about an order having come in at some point but there had been a "miscommunication" and she would check and call me back in 5 min. I never received a call. My friend did finally get her flowers but I received not a breadth of apology or explanation despite the flowers being several days late!!!!! I suspect also from the photo that the flowers were not at their peak (presumably having sat around the shop for 2 days!). Inexcusable. Fine probably to pick up flowers in person but do NOT order online.

    My mother and I hired NoLo for my wedding recently. Nora was my planner and we hired her for the…read more"Month Of" service. The pricing was reasonable and my mother and I agree - WORTH EVERY PENNY. We both are high strung individuals so having Nora there in the last month leading up to the big day was super helpful. We tend to leave things to the last minute but Nora stayed on us and made sure she got everything she needed from us. Nora attended our rehearsal and helped choreograph the ceremony. The day of the ceremony she coordinated with the DJ for all announcements and music cues. As a control freak myself, I wanted everything to be perfect. Because I didn't have to yell, scream, or even think on my big day, Nora MADE my day perfect. One of the other reviewers said they had the ceremony and reception in the same place and were worried about space. SAME HERE. I was ready to help move our rental furniture around in my wedding dress after the ceremony. I was worried I'd have to tell people "Alright we do! Now everyone pick up a chair and take it over to a table..." but no such thing happened. Nora coordinated the catering staff and her assistant/husband to get the ceremony broken down and dinner set up during cocktail hour while the bridal party took pictures. The biggest rave I have about Nora is that about a week before my wedding I sent her a three page email (single spaced) with every anxiety, fear, and wedding nightmare I've had in the past year and a half. It was definitely an unhinged email. Nora gave me the most valuable wedding gift I could have gotten then: Peace of Mind. She sent me a reply that both validated my feelings and helped me calm down a bit. If I ever need to plan another wedding or help a friend/sibling plan a wedding, I'm strongly recommending Nora's services. Next time, though, I may just have to hire NoLo for the entire wedding planning package because I'm sure NoLo will plan a magical wedding!

    I hired Nora and Lorinda (NoLo) a few months out from my wedding as I was realizing I needed some…read morehelp and the coordinator that came with my venue was not being as responsive as I would have liked. I just felt like I needed someone objective to keep me sane and help me with the little details. I met with the girls as they offered a "day of" package for a great price that was within my budget. It took about 5 minutes of hellos and small talk to know these ladies were THE BEST investment of my entire wedding! They reminded me of little details I forgot about and helped to handle those little details. I was immediately at ease and didn't worry about a thing from then on. They worked great with the on site coordinator and the day went as smoothly as it could have. If I started to think about something that may have been forgot, they just flashed me a smile to let me know they had already handled it. They were extremely professional but had fun as well because that is the only way I would have it! Even though it was a "day of" package, they took the time to meet with me a few times beforehand to go over things and offered to hold onto any decor I needed stored until the day. If i sent an email about something, they responded immediately. (And believe me, I sent quite a few emails haha). They truly were my little guardian angels that day and I can't thank them enough for all they did for me. I can say with 100% honesty that I had an absolute blast at my wedding and enjoyed every second of it and I truly believe that is because of Nora and Lorinda.
