Denise was great to work with from the very beginning! She is so friendly and easy to work with. We had our wedding in February 2022, and she made sure every floral arrangement, from my bridal bouquet to table arrangements, was exactly what we asked for.

Denise and team did a stunning job on our wedding florals. I booked them at the end of 2019 and they were super accommodating to our contract regarding some of my concerns about COVID 19 over the course of my planning. They were so easy to work with and such amazing artists! Their garden style arrangements truly have no comparison. Some of the flowers I was looking to incorporate weren't great this season and the design decisions they made to accommodate my vision came out even better than I imagined they would. I couldn't recommend them more, I will definitely be continuing my business with Leigh Florist in the future! Also check out their store in person, it's adorable!

Leigh Florist was absolutely amazing for my October 2021 wedding! They came recommended through our venue and from start to finish they made my vision come to life and even then some. I live in North Jersey so we planned almost everything from a distance. I wanted bright and fun with a lot of greenery to continue to our rustic vibe and to make the ballroom pop. I never worked with a florist before and really knew (and still don't really know) anything about flowers, but they were so helpful and creative.
We personally worked with Denise and she was amazing. We made a lot of additions a long they way and they delivered with every single one. We were also able to rent the structure for our chuppah, so to have all of that taken care of from one vendor was so helpful. Highly recommend!
