"We had the pleasure of working with Jenna and Avant Gardenia for our September 1st wedding and from the very first meeting we knew they were perfect fit! We had a specific vision in mind for our florals and Jenna immediately understood what we were looking for and brought it to life. Everything was customized to be exactly what I wanted and felt so unique. It is clear that Jenna is a designer and was always thinking of the big picture "look" of our reception. She even checked in with me the day before the wedding to make sure I would like it if a particular type of flower was included in the centerpieces. She was respectful of our budget and suggested repurposing some of the table centerpieces for the ceremony decorations which worked out perfectly. On the day of, the flowers were so fresh and continued looking wonderful for a full week after the wedding! Everything from set up to take down at the end of the night went so smoothly. By hiring Avant Gardenia you are truly getting a high-end, professional, and custom experience."

"My daughter was married last Saturday at the Haley Mansion. The venue is beautiful, but the floral arrangements put together by Jenna and team from Avant Gardenia took the Haley Mansion to another level. I can't say that flowers have ever had an impact on me, but when I walked in, I have to admit, it took my breath away. The work done by Avant Gardenia was SPECTACULAR to say the least. The attention to detail at every table setting, vase arrangements, bridesmaids flowers and the bridal bouquet were created with fabulous vision and great craftsmanship. As beautiful as everything turned out, one of greatest things about working with Jenna was she just "got my daughter". She is very kind and was fabulous to work with. After the first meeting and a few follow up calls Jenna took over and delivered a marvelous presentation. The best decision you could make for your wedding or event would be hiring Avant Gardenia. Jenna, to you personally, thanks for everything it exceeded, by far, all the expectations we had."
