Offshoots

Review
I have never written a review, but feel it necessary to tell other Brides about my experience so they don't make the same mistake. I am pretty sure that all of the positive reviews are written by Offshoots themselves because I cannot imagine them offering beautiful flowers or a pleasant experience. Like the other reviewer on this site, I am a seasoned business owner and lets just say that as far as businesses go, Offshoots is the pits. Why? From 1 proposal to the next 1 line item went up 120% and it took me email after email to get this corrected, they did not deliver the flowers that were on the proposal at my wedding, and the flowers they did provide were not pretty at all. Stacy, the person I worked with at Offshoots, did not follow through on promises and always seemed too stressed out to attend to my event. I sent them an email after the event expressing my disappointment, not even asking for any money back, but just telling them about the lack of flowers that were delivered, and did not even get a response. Basically, they just want your money and are not a trustworthy and honest business. Take your business elsewhere!

My husband and I were married just a few months ago and I have to say that I was TOTALLY impressed Offshoots and our decor on our wedding day! Val was awesome to work with from the beginning. She understood our vision and absolutely made it come to life! So talented and creative!! And I LOVED getting little text updates from her about when our flowers came in, and teaser pictures of our centerpieces and bouquets. She was such a pleasure to work with and our flowers were magnificent!! We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better company to work with.

Even though we couldn't LEGALLY get married in PA we had a commitment ceremony anyway. We used Offshoots- they are connected with our caterer Feastivities. OMG they were FABULOUS. I couldn't be more happy. Well both of us. I guess I need to get used to that we are now WE not I. Anyway, I loved working with Stacy & Dan. They connected with what I wanted to do. The arbor was out of this world. The tables gorgeous. My mother was so happy with her flowers. I can't thank them enough. So well done.

My husband and I used Feastivities and Offshoots! for our wedding and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. Feastivities made my wedding planning experience stress free and exciting and offshoots gave me a new found love for floral! Valerie was a gem to work with. She took my vision and ran with it. I can say my expectations were more then met. I will hands down recommend the two companies as a whole or individually to anyone.

Sorry folks I know that there are a lot of positive reviews of Feastivities / OffShoots out there, but I'd like to make sure to provide the other side. These folks were hired to do the flowers for our wedding, and they were a disaster. Among other things, they brought the wrong number of flowers (9 tables short!), screwed up the chuppah, and didn't provide the appropriate maid of honor bouquet. We were absolutely crushed. Worse, they didn't provide any explanation whatsoever. They ducked our calls for 3 weeks after the wedding - we had to call them daily for weeks to get a call back. The person actually handling our wedding quit the firm. When they finally did call, they refused to take responsibility for anything, and finally hanging up on my wife. Naturally, they refused to refund a single cent. So you're aware, my wife and I are business executives in New York (I.e., not business novices!). We were appalled by the behavior of Andy (the owner) and the rest of the team. I would strongly encourage you implore you to go with someone else. Sadly, when a vendor screws up your wedding, there's very little you can do. I can only hope that by telling our story online, there can be a bit of karmic retribution (and even, perhaps, save another couple from this dreadful experience). Happy to tell you the details, since I'm sure Andy and his crew will debate this posting. Feel free to email me directly through the site.
