    Stunning and beautiful!!

    Allison and her team are true artists!! They not only do BEAUTIFUL work, they are quick on their feet and able to adjust!! Allison worked on a number of layouts for me (multiple plan changes being a COVID bride) and was understanding throughout the entire planning experience! She even had to make day of changes because of having an outdoor ceremony and reception with a windy day, and the results were STUNNING! She was able to incorporate some of my personal decor into her arrangements and back drops with beautiful results! I cannot sing her praises enough- Allison and the whole team, thank you for making our day a dream!

    Beautiful and perfect!

    Allison did such a wonderful job for our wedding. She is so easy going and always listened to our ideas and concerns. In the end she perfectly captured our vision and we got so many compliments on our centerpieces! The flowers turned out even more beautiful than we imagined.

    Wow-Factor Decor!

    Allison made our February wedding the most beautiful party we have ever attended! We didn’t have a clear vision for what we wanted, and she was somehow able to take our random, disjointed ideas and turn them into a candlelit garden wonderland - our jaws just dropped when we entered the room! All of our guests are still raving about the flowers and décor after the wedding – she really delivered a wow factor! Her flowers were so high quality and she and her whole team were so professional. She quarterbacked a team of lighting and décor vendors for us, and she made the entire process so seamless for us. She was also very organized and honest about the budget, and was great about finding creative solutions to keep us at our price point. It was worth every penny – she gave us the wedding of our dreams!

    We worked with a lot of good vendors for our wedding, but Allison and her work stood out for its quality. The flowers were so impressive that our guests are still talking about them. Allison was incredibly professional, responsive, and clear and specific about what was and wasn't possible on the budget we set. She was open to my ideas and wanted to give me the look that I wanted for our wedding, but she was also willing to tell me when my ideas might not look good, or at least wouldn't look the way I thought they might. Allison and her team went above and beyond our expectations in several important ways: they were willing to repurpose all of the flowers from our centerpieces into smaller arrangements for brunch the following day (at the same venue), charging us only for the vases that our guests could use to take them home; they made my mom a small bouquet of her favorite flowers as an additional gift; after our wedding, when they realized they still had some fabric from my mom's dress that they had used to wrap my bouquet, they delivered it to us at our house; she bought a sample bouquet of flowers she hadn't worked with before that I thought I might like just to make sure I would like them; and finally, she made a full-scale mockup of the centerpiece for advance review at no extra charge. She also did a great job managing the mother of the bride—making her feel heard while letting my vision win the day. If you can find room in your budget for Allison's work, it is well worth it.

    Allison McGeary did the table arrangements for our wedding dinner at Eleven Contemporary Kitchen, where she's the house florist. I had only a general sense of what I wanted, but Allison was able to develop my request into a really beautiful and unique display. In meeting with her, I got the feeling that she would have been happy to accommodate very specific requests, but she also had no problem fleshing out my vague ideas. She was friendly and fun to work with, and I highly recommend her.

    Allison McGeary was recommended by our wedding planner; I didn't have any prior experience with her company before. She is a wonderful listener and interpreter of what a bride wants. She patiently went through several iterations of what our daughter wanted and ended up showing a sample that was simply magnificent. It is a bit overwhelming to see how much flowers cost; that was probably the biggest shock for me. However, the end result was EXACTLY what they had promised. Her creativity was evident throughout the venue; all night long people commented on how beautiful the arrangements were. I would absolutely recommend Allison and her staff if you want the very best in floral displays for your wedding!

    You absolutely MUST hire Allison and her team for your wedding! Allison and Ashlyn are a joy to work with and incredibly compassionate. I knew I just loved Allison the second I met her. She listened to all my ideas and also incorporated her own talent and creativity into my arrangements. My bouquet was the most gorgeous bouquet I have ever seen and more than I could have hoped for. The floral arrangements at the church were breathtaking! (I joked with them that I started at the flowers more than my husband!) When I saw the centerpieces at our venue, I was in complete awe at how amazingly beautiful they were. I received endless compliments the entire night on my flowers and their beauty. They made our venue. Needless to say I cannot say enough good things about Allison, Ashlyn, and the team. Worth every penny and more! You will not be disappointed, and I can only hope to be able to work with Allison and team again in the future!!

    I can't even begin to describe how truly talented Allison is. First off, I was the most insane bride when describing my vision and she was able to "translate" what I was describing and create something that was so in line with my taste, personality & vision. She is also VERY honest, which is something I really, really appreciated during wedding planning. Everyone is so worried about hurting your feelings that they are afraid to tell you what they really think. I actually went to Allison with most of my design/vision questions, because she has an incredible eye for style and design (i believe she studied architecture in school!) and was honest about what she thought would enhance my event. She is an example as to why we hire professionals! No matter what your vision is, you want Allison to be the one helping you create it!

    Allison and her team are not only incredible at what they do, but they are truly wonderful people to work with! We were referred to Allison by a friend and after our first meeting with her, we knew that she would be able to capture exactly what we were looking for. In the months leading up to our wedding, Allison was easy to communicate with and make various arrangements. We decided to buy parts of our centerpieces for her to use and she was able to incorporate these elements beautifully! When it came to the little details, Allison was always extremely helpful with providing us her own opinion on what she has seen to work best and what might not work so well. I always felt so relaxed and in the best of hands when working with Allison and her team. After seeing our bouquets and the centerpieces at our reception venue, I was absolutely in awe! Everything was so beautiful and better than I could have imagined. Thank goodness for pictures and videos so that we can look back on the beauty any time we want! :)

    The wedding was perfect; it was magical. The candlelight table settings and ceremony decorations were elegant. The cake was beautifully decorated with flowers from the bridal bouquets. The bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful and lasted for days. I'm sorry I don't have another wedding to plan any time soon. I will miss working with Allison. She was so pleasant, charming and creative to work with in planning our daughter's wedding.

    Allison McGeary is awesome and we highly recommend her and her team. My wife had some idea of the flowers she wanted but didn’t give Allison specific flowers to use. It was more about colors, size, pricing and style. Allison then put together beautiful and imaginative bouquets and centerpieces. She was fun to work with and her team was very responsive to our calls and emails. She understood what my wife was looking for, what was important to her and she added a lot to the conversations and final flower design.

    One other note for engaged couples – as the groom, I don’t know much about flowers but I was surprised to learn how expensive flowers for a wedding can become. We talked to and priced out several florists before going with Allison. Allison was the first choice from the beginning but in other florists we found that many want to push you to do more and therefore spend more money. We had a budget in mind and wanted to work with our florist to figure out the best flowers within that number. Allison was really great about respecting that and helping my wife figure out what would work best.

    Allison was the florist for our Christian ceremony, Indian ceremony and bollywood style reception. She worked very closely with us to give our event the exact feel that we wanted. She even ordered in special furniture and lanterns to give us the exact look that we wanted. We were blown away when we walked into our Indian tent and our reception, she totally transformed a boring tent and reception hall into a beautiful scene out of India!

    First, let me start by saying that Allison is absolutely one of the most amazing people you will ever meet. Not only is she a great florist, she is an even better person. The energy and the passion she has is unmatched, which made working with her so easy. Although Allison took time to meet with my fiancé and I to find out what our vision was, she also shared her ideas and suggested details that would enhance our reception area more than we could have ever imagined. She brought our vision to life. The time and effort that she puts in to what she does makes you feel so special. When she is working with you, she is completely devoted to ensuring your satisfaction; you would never be able to tell that you were not her only client. Allison is a truly amazing florist who I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a florist for their wedding.

    Allison and her team did the flowers for our wedding at Lemont on June 6th. From the bouquets to the centerpieces and candlelight, Allison and her team were able to turn my vision into reality and truly work truly transformed our room and made it into a more beautiful venue that I could have ever imagined! I would recommend Allison McGeary to anyone looking for a florist for an event. You will not be disappointed!

    Allison and George truly have a great vision of wedding flowers! I did not worry one bit about the flowers and decor. My mom handled most of the flower correspondence but she also enjoyed working with them! When we met with them, I explained I wanted simple and elegant and all white flowers at the reception. They took that and turned my reception into exactly what I had seen in my head! Highly recommended! :)

    Allison does beautiful floral work. We loved our wedding flowers. The bouquets were gorgeous and the centerpieces looked spectacular. We highly recommended her business. She was great to work with and got exactly I what I was envisioning.

    Allison is very attentive to your needs and wants. She makes great recommendations but makes sure to not override what you truely want. She was great to work with, despite her busy schedule. Overall we got so many compliments on how beautiful the arrangements were at our wedding. My boquet was phenominal, so wonderful I even got it preserved to remember for a lifetime.

    My mother-in-law, who lives in Philadelphia, took charge of flowers for our wedding. She knows a lot about flowers and would have loved to use her go-to florist, but of course that was impossible for a Pittsburgh wedding. She and I researched a lot of florists, and Allison stuck out as someone with great creativity and style. Although Allison already had another wedding booked that day, she was willing to take our wedding on, too, because we only needed ceremony flowers (no centerpieces or other decor). After a few phone discussions, we knew she'd be able to capture our ideas and trusted her to make substitutions when necessary.

    There was a month or so when Allison was out of the country and our emails went unanswered. Our questions weren't urgent, but I hope that if they were, someone would have replied in her absence. Once she was back, she was very responsive.

    About a month before our wedding, Allison agreed to create a topper for our wedding cake and apply it at the venue. She also worked with my mother-in-law to create tulip centerpieces for the rehearsal dinner. All of our flowers, including the cake, were absolutely gorgeous and captured the look and feel we were going for. We really appreciated Allison's expertise and flexibility and I think I speak for my myself and my mother-in-law when I say we'd work with her again!

    Allison McGeary does nice work but is very expensive. She does have a nonchalant attitude and approach, especially when you visit her store. In the end, I was pleased, but frankly, I gave her all the design ideas that I gathered from the internet.
