DENISE SMITH, PRIVATE DINING MANAGER, CARRIAGE HOUSE:

"Betina’s at Parkview is excellent to work with. They are very easy to work with, eager to please her clients. No job is too or small for her and her company. Her work is stunning and her quality of work lasts too! I would highly recommend anyone to Betina’s at Parkview."

 

 MELISSA ROSEN, BRIDE:

"Betina was absolutely a pleasure to work with. My mom and I met with a couple of florists, and right off the bat, Betina and I were on the same page. I had a vision, and she produced it. She knew the right flowers to use, the right shades to use, and I even let her use her imagination on the bridal bouquets. A new type of fern (fennel fern to be exact) came in, and seemed to match my color scheme. She asked if it would be okay to experiment. The bouquets turned out perfectly. The centerpieces were so gorgeous - breath-taking actually. I would highly recommend using Betina's at Parkview for any event - she even did small pieces for my rehearsal dinner & brunch - all in themes!"

 

SARI ROTH, BRIDE:

"I loved my flowers!!! They were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. From the challenge of creating a chuppah out of bamboo poles, a canopy and flowers on the beach in the wind ... to my beautiful bouquets ... to the reception room -- everything was perfect. Betina herself came to the beach after the ceremony and I ran up to her and gave her a hug. Everything was gorgeous, and Betina was a joy to work with!"

Dear Betina. Please know that both Bart and I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for all of your hard work and attention to detail in helping to make our Wedding Day beautiful and very special.   Your floral arrangements throughout The Carriage Houre brougth our vision to reality. All of our guests were speechless with how all of the arrangements came together with the theme we were going for on that day. The room was classy, elegant and romantic. It had just the feel that we were striving for , and the guests all commented on how absolutely beautiful the centerpieces were.     Once it came time to meet with you, I knew, I had nothing to worry about with regard to how we invisioned the centerpieces to look, my bouquet along w/the bridesmaids bouquets, the set up for the arch for our ceremony, the staircase drape and flowers for the cake, etc.  It seemed as though you understood exactly what we were looking for. Right from our initial meeting with you, our confidence was gained. We knew we were in great hands. Your were available any time I had a question, and if you weren't, one of your sales associates would have the answer I needed.  Your creativity is outstanding!   On the day of the wedding, when Denise and Kristin brougth us to the Magnolia room to see how it was set up, we really were speechless. It was absolutely breathtaking. When you picture something in your mind, and actually get to see it come to life, it's amazing. Thank you so much!!  With both Bart and my experince with the service industy, we just felt that more often than not; you hear the complaints, but very seldom hear about how great you are doing, so we wanted to make sure that you and your staff know how very pleased we were with everything from the early planning to the end result. Thanks again!!!

 

SUSAN PETRO, CUSTOMER:

"The care and creativity that Betina puts into everything she does is second to none. When she decorated The Rams Head for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah the staff said they had never seen the room look so amazing. Almost a year later guests and staff still talk about how beautiful the room looked. Whether its a single arrangement or decor for a party, you can always count on Betina to do something spectacular!

 MANDY AND MICHAEL SAMSON, BRIDE AND GROOM:

Hello Betina,      This is Michael Samson, you prepared the flowers for my wedding with Mandy Aarons back in September. I have been meaning for some time now to thank you for everything you did for us. I never got the chance to tell you that we loved the flowers, the arrangements and everything you made. The sunflowers were breathtaking at the wedding. The bouquets were incredible, the chuppa was breathtaking, the little sunflowers with the candles, and of course the huge arrangements on the main tables with the candles and iron work. Really, it was so beautiful, all of it! I have no idea how you had the time to make that all happen. You did an incredible job! Mandy and I both just wanted to say thank you for putting in all that effort to make our wedding something special. We really appreciated it, and now we have beautiful photos and videos as well showing it all. If you ever want some photos of your work from our wedding, please just let me know and I will send them right over.

 With that said, have a healthy and happy holiday season. We wish you the best!
 Sincerely,  Michael & Mandy Samson

Betina,

We did have a really awesome day. You really truly outdid yourself. I was floored by everything! I can't say thank you enough, and I can't stop talking about how awesome everything you did was. EVERYONE was AMAZED!


 Don't worry about sending the saris my mom said she can swing by and pick them up from you. She really wants to come and say hi, and tell you how much she loved everything. (She is going on a short trip with relatives but will email you when she gets back.)

 Thank you so much for the compliments, I really loved my dress. I was hoping to see you, I really appreciate your your enthusiasm for my wedding day. You really "got it".

 Talk to you soon,
Jessica
