    Spectacular work!

    We chose Benken Florist for our wedding and they did absolutely amazing! The groomsmen all had large calla lilies and the bouquets for the ladies were beautiful. I am obsessed with my bridal bouquet, it was nothing less of spectacular! I provided the team with some inspiration but they went over and beyond to create these beautiful pieces. Pricing is competitive for the quality of work you get and how long these flowers last even after the event. My flowers stayed lively and full for well over 2 weeks after the wedding.

    Benken Florist's reply:

    Thank you for a wonderful review and congratulations! Enjoyed working with you and can’t wait to see more pictures!

    Beyond beautiful!

    We had a great experience with Benken’s for our wedding! They were pleasant and easy to work with throughout the planning process. The staff who delivered our flowers were punctual and very kind. Our flowers were beautiful and exactly what we wanted!

    The most gorgeous flowers!

    We had a great experience working with Benken for our October wedding. Robin was so thoughtful and attentive with regards to my vision and inspiration for the flowers. She is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced -- I loved all her suggestions and ended up using nearly all of them! Everything ended up being so beautiful and fresh for our special day. Communication was easy as well. Thank you all so much! :)

    Took all my stress away

    Working with Robyn was amazing! I had shown her a picture of the general idea of what I wanted and she went above and beyond with my bouquet and other flowers I ordered!

    Naturally Romantic Arrangements

    H.J. Benken's florist Robin listened carefully to what I wanted and was able to create stunningly beautiful arrangements that fit our budget, color scheme, and desired/ classic romantic style with a few delightful surprise details included in my bouquet for that natural look I wanted. The flowers looked like they were straight out of a dutch master's still-life painting. Perfection!

    Great wedding flowers

    We loved everything from Benkens. The centerpieces were beautiful, my bridal bouquet was gorgeous as were the bridesmaids'. They made my bouquet based on my requests, description and photos, and it all looked jut like I dreamed. Everything arrived fresh, smelled amazing and looked exactly as promised. Communication was easy (thanks Robin and Janet) and we highly recommend them for your wedding flowers needs!

    Beautiful & creative arrangements

    The floral arrangements that Robin and her team put together for our wedding were absolutely beautiful, full, and fresh! I provided Robin with a mix of "I want exactly this photo" on some of the arrangements and "I want these general colors.. help me turn this into something beautiful" on others and she delivered perfectly on both levels of detailed requests! Robin is extremely warm and friendly and provides her honest opinion on what will look good / ways to get the most out of your money. On the day of... they delivered to each location on time so I didn't even have to think about flowers until they showed up looking beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend using Benken Florist for your wedding.

    Robin was amazing to work with, start to finish! She was responsive, flexible, and helped us create beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres within our limited floral budget. Robin and Benkens also went the extra mile when it comes to event setup for the flowers. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or other event!

    Robin and the team at HJ Benken's did a great job with our flowers. Since we wanted a "specialty" flower we did not get a chance to see it before the event. Benken's really cane through with a beautiful product. The purple roses were amazing!!
    Robin did a great job listening and understanding our vision. I could not be happier with the bouquet and boutonniere! Thank you so much for helping make our day amazing!

    Beyond Beautiful - lush and gorgeous

    Robin and all the staff at Benken made this experience much easier! Robin envisioned the most beautiful wedding flowers and bouquets, making the bride's ideas come to life so perfectly! She also worked with us for a few contributions we made to stick to budget, which we truly appreciated. We received compliments from so many guests on the flowers and how well they suited our design and venue. Thank you Robin and staff!

    I cannot even explain how gorgeous my bouquet was and all our centerpieces. Robin and her team knocked it out of the park. The most beautiful bouquet I ever saw and she nailed my vision! Everything was so beautiful and they were so great to work with! The first plan was way over my budget and asked what we could do to cut the plan in half. Robin got me to my budget without sacrificing quality at all or making me feel like I was getting less. I highly recommend.

    Going in, I had no idea what I wanted with my flowers but Robin really helped me establish a vision for the ceremony and offered honest advice for everything from ribbon color to rose petals. She was extremely adaptable when I brought in some pieces that I found for the centerpiece and helped me brainstorm ways to make the ceremony and reception decorations truly unique and beautiful. The team at Benkins was prompt in delivery and left us great instructions how to set up the decorations in case the weather changed (and it did) and we had to move to our "plan B" location.

    Robin and her team exceeded every expectation with my wedding flowers! My bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous, and my own bouquet was breathtakingly beautiful! The chapel where we got married did not allow for much decoration, but the bouquet on the altar felt like it tied the entire room together, and it looked great with our colors! Our reception centerpieces were perfect as well, and made every single table pop! We could not have been happier with our wedding flowers! The entire H.J. Benken team is outstanding and truly made our wedding day special!

    I had originally planned on doing my own bouquets and boutineers, but as the wedding got closer, I realized I didn't have the time (or energy!) to do it myself. With only about 5-6 weeks left, I hurriedly met with a few florists. Some were completely overpriced and way over budget and others were not friendly. Then I met with Robin at HJ Benken. She was so nice, understanding and patient. When I received the original proposal, we were slightly off budget-wise, but Robin helped me make a few changes to get us right on budget. That was very appreciated! In the midst of the rush to find a florist, there was a little bit of a miscommunication involving flower colors (probably my fault - like I said, I was in a hurry to find someone!). Robin sent me a text the day before the wedding with a preview of the bouquets. That's when I realized I must have accidentally given the OK for a peachy/orange rose when I really wanted a light pink/blush colored flower. I was worried, but Robin reassured me that it would be OK. And she was right! She quickly changed the orange roses to light pink, and the bouquets were perfect! I couldn't be more impressed or appreciative. I highly recommend going with HJ Benken...even in the midst of chaos, they came through with flying colors.

    ROBIN IS SO AWESOME!!!! Robin gave me the bouquet of my dreams. I was a really picky about what I wanted. I wanted something different and unique, which is exactly what she gave. The service there was awesome. She was all about making me happy and giving me everything that I wanted. Next time I need flowers for anything I will definitely be going to her!!!!

    We used H.J. Benken for our wedding ceremony/reception flowers. I am someone who is not very familiar with flowers. I really needed someone who had a lot of experience to help me pick out what we wanted. I definitely found that at H.J. Benken! Robin helped us during our initial appointment. You could really tell how experienced she was, and she did an excellent job of helping us pick out the flowers that we wanted. The flowers were delivered on time and set up for us the day of. They looked absolutely beautiful! I was very pleased with H.J. Benken and would recommend them for your Wedding Day flower needs!

    I loved working with Robin! She made absolutely everything perfect. We had planned my bouquet and I changed my mind completely. She didn't mind starting over. I also rented beautiful trees from Benken. Everything was delivered as expected and before I even arrived at my venue. Highly recommended.

    This was the easiest part of the wedding planning! Ashley had great suggestions and the flowers were stunning. We stopped by the day before the wedding to view the flowers and they were perfect- certainly helped ease the pre-wedding anxiety. The flowers were so fresh that one of the table arrangements that was transported back to VA to my grandmother was still beautiful 10 days later.

    I would highly recommend H.J. Benken Florist & Garden Center!

    H.J. provided our centerpieces as well as personal flowers for our wedding. The centerpieces were so simple yet so elegant and pretty. The bouquets were gorgeous as well...I wasn't sure what all the flowers we chose would look like together but they turned out great! The colors were so pretty and matched perfectly!

    Not only was Ashley and the HJ Benken team WONDERFUL to work with...they also saved my wedding day! The country club that we took pictures at put my flowers in the refrigerator. The temperature had been turned down from the night before and my bridal bouquet froze and died. Ashley met me at the church just before heading down the aisle with a whole new bridal bouquet that was just as lovely as the original. I would recommend Benken to ANYONE!!!

    The flowers H.J. Benken provided for my wedding were absolutely beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted. Their event and wedding coordinator Ashley was extremely helpful and very professional. When my original concept came over budget, she worked with me to create something less expensive, but still just as beautiful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding florist.

    Ashley with H.J. Benken is awesome! She was so easy and nice to work with on planning the flowers for our wedding, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else for the job:) Always prompt to respond to crazy questions, she made me feel completely at ease with the flower selections. And my bouquet was amazing! It was the most beautiful bridal bouquet I have seen, went perfectly with the theme of our wedding!!! I would recommend Ashley and H.J. Benken to anyone, they were phenomenal:)
