Best vendor during my entire wedding process!!

Jenna and the Avant Gardenia team are absolutely incredible! Jenna was the best vendor I worked with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Jenna made me feel like I was her only client by how responsive and readily available she made herself. Her professionalism, personal care and attention to detail with every aspect of the reception (floral, linens, seating chart, chairs, dance floor, etc..) ensured that our entire vision came to life! I completely trusted Jenna and her expertise, and the end result spoke for itself. When we walked into the reception, my now husband and I were speechless! Our guest told us it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to and I owe this to Jenna and the entire Avant Gardenia team. If you are a future bride, work with Avant Gardenia and you will not be disappointed. Jenna exceeded all expectations and It was one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process.

Amazing florist - top wedding vendor recommendation!

Jenna and her team are amazing. I spoke to 15 florists when deciding which to work with, and Jenna/Avant Gradenia truly stood out from all the rest. From our first conversation, I could tell how perceptive, creative, honest and helpful she was. I could also tell how amazing her taste was! I worked with Jenna for about a year and a half leading up to our wedding, and she fully understood our vision, made great suggestions, helped us with linens decisions and executed everything beautifully. Our guests were amazed by the flowers and could not stop talking about them - the florals truly made an impact, more so than at any other wedding we'd been to. Jenna brought to life everything we'd imagined, but better. I am very particular, so this is really saying something! The quality and arrangement of the flowers, as well as the beautiful vases and candles really set Avant Gardenia apart. We were truly blown away and are so thankful to have worked with her and her team. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Stunning wedding florals and design!

Jenna and her team at Avant Gardenia created stunning florals that exceeded our expectations. From the gorgeous bouquets and church florals to the exquisite florals and table settings at the reception, AG brought our vision to life. We received so many compliments, including from guests who work in the floral industry. Jenna’s approach is very tasteful and collaborative. We contracted with Jenna about a year before the wedding and details kept shifting due to COVID. Jenna adjusted, suggested enhancements (such as complimentary linens) and then implemented the final design perfectly. We enjoyed the flowers for weeks afterwards as they were so fresh. Every other wedding vendor was also excited by our choice of florist since AG has such a wonderful reputation. Thank you Jenna and team!
