Jen is beyond amazing and talented! The flowers were beyond beautiful and exactly what I envisioned. Everything was delivered and set up perfectly, and we received so many compliments. So professional, responsive, and talented—highly recommend for any wedding!

Jen is fantastic. I had two venues and a long day for my wedding and her and her team were professional, accommodating, and efficient throughout. Plus the flowers were GORGEOUS!!!! Highly recommend!

We LOVED working with Jen and her team! Jen is so responsive and was incredible at bringing our inspiration pictures to life!

Jen made our wedding more beautiful than we had ever imagined. She gave us a good feeling from the start because of how passionate she is about her business. She was very communicative and upfront with us about costs (no surprise fees) as well as with what was doable or not in our price range. We never got the feeling that she was trying to upsell us on anything which was a huge relief because that can happen often in the industry. She listened to what we were envisioning and gave her input in a constructive manner (some of our favorite parts of the florals were Jen's ideas), and she also was honest with telling us if something was outdated or wouldn't fit with our aesthetic which we appreciated because we aren't experts on florals! She gave us the great idea to repurpose the bridesmaid bouquets for the reception centerpieces, which was the best decision we made because it was more practical and friendly for our budget. Overall, if you're looking for a small business owner to brighten your day, look no further than Jen because she will put her all into making your wedding or event beautiful.

The Local Petaler can truly make your wedding florals vision come to life. I was eager to hire Jen when I saw the heartfelt mission on her website about making beautiful florals in her grandmother's honor. Like many brides, I had a very clear vision for the type of flowers I wanted, but I saw very few examples online of that vision perfectly executed. I worked with Jen over the course of several months and she patiently heard me out about my vision and did everything to execute it to perfection-which she certainly did. Even up until days before the wedding, Jen made a last minute switch to some of the flowers she had initially included in our centerpieces and they ultimately came out fabulously and exactly how I'd always envisioned them. And if that's not wonderful enough, Jen's "Petaler Pick-Me-Up" program allows for your beautiful blooms to be repurposed and gifted to the community the day after your wedding so that the greater community can share in having a little piece of your special day. Jen is patient, hardworking, diligent, and has an eye for executing the vision of the couple. We can't say enough about The Local Petaler!

Not only was Jen the florist for my best friends wedding but also my wedding. After my initial email and meeting with Jen I knew I was going to go with her for my flowers. I wanted there to be lots of flowers and a big arch display. Let me tell you… She delivered! I got so many compliments on the floral at the wedding! She was very flexible with any changes I asked for, very kind, and very helpful. When filling out the form in the beginning and going through everything during our zoom meeting was so helpful! I couldn’t recommend The Local Petaler more!! She did an amazing job and I couldn’t have been happier!

Jen was great to work with, super helpful in all of the planning process and presented a great proposal so we could envision our day. She knew our venue well and was able to repurpose our flowers for different parts of our day. Received lots of compliments on how beautiful our flowers were, loved my bouquet!

Jen was a dream to work with! As someone who originally didn't care as much about flowers as others, I quickly found that the florals at our August wedding in Chicago became one of our absolute favorite touches of the day. Jen was responsive, patient and was key to translating our rough ideas to a gorgeous finished product. She was warm and understanding of where we wanted to land budget-wise and provided multiple suggestions on how we could reuse different pieces to make the most impact in our space. Additionally her attention to detail was amazing from bouquets to table settings to our ceremony space. We really could not recommend Jen enough for your event!

I found Jen at the Local Petaler from a friend's wedding but fell in love with her style of communication, collaboration, and of course - her florals! I really wanted whimsical and romantic with pops of vibrant colors offset with natural greenery and she absolutely delivered! Her floral selection was unique - types of peonies and roses I had never seen before, and her execution was flawless in the bouquet arrangement and altar design. I was absolutely speechless when my bouquet was delivered while getting ready - I think I shed a few tears! On top of that, Jen is a wonderful human and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her along the wedding planning journey.

Can't recommend Jen and The Local Petaler enough! Her work is absolutely incredible, but on top of that, she is so great to work with. She really personalized the entire experience for us. A few things that I loved about Jen: 1) She came prepared to our initial consult with great ideas based on my pinterest pages. She had clearly done her homework before we even hired her! 2) She was patient with me when I changed my mind multiple times during the planning process (even down to the last minute). 3) She worked with my budget and found creative ways to reuse bouquets and other floral pieces in a way that looked beautiful and purposeful and not cheesy. 4) Jen and I both lost beloved dogs recently and so we happened to bond over this during the year of planning. On my wedding day she surprised me with a memory tag that was attached to my bouquet and had a picture of my dog that had passed away. It was the most special and thoughtful gesture. 5) When I saw the final wedding day florals I gasped. It was better than anything I could have imagined. Everyone was talking about how gorgeous everything was and our guests couldn't stop taking photos of themselves in front of her beautiful work. 6) She came up with a super cool and creative hanging floral piece for the ceremony (and later reception) and it was like nothing I have ever seen before. I am sure it wasn't easy to create from a mechanical perspective, but she somehow did it. 7) She has great taste. I trusted her esthetic completely.
YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG BY HIRING JEN AND THE LOCAL PETALER TEAM! She is the total package of wedding florists!!!
