John Mays was a home run choice for our wedding flowers vendor!
Unlike other florists that spend a fortune on overhead costs, John has a low operation cost for his business which allows him to provide top-notch floral arrangements at LESS than half the cost you would get elsewhere!
We were so grateful to have found John, considering we could not afford those expensive vendors, and were getting overwhelmed at the idea of trying to save cost by making our own floral arrangements (which BTW would have been the same price as what we paid with John and A LOT more stressful)!
And of course, the most important part... the flowers turned out AMAZING. It was a dream come true on my wedding day to look out and see all of the floral arrangements EXACTLY how I had imagined them to be! They were STUNNING.
I was so grateful for all of John's attention to detail. He is so organized and such a good listener, which really helped the planning process and helped make the final product perfect! The flowers arrived and were set up early, which helped our wedding day run smoothly!
I highly recommend John Mays to anyone!John Mays was a home run choice for our wedding flowers vendor!

I had a wonderful experience with John Mays and would highly recommend him to any Bride looking for beautiful flowers for a modest price.
John and I sent several emails and made a rough plan of what I wanted for my wedding. We met and looked at pictures/photos etc to finalize our plans. (John shares an office with his brother-in-law. It's not fancy but it doesn't need to be!)
John was very accommodating and let me add and change things about our package several times (and never charged me more, even when I added several corsages!)
On the wedding day his daughters delivered the flowers to us in LA and were right on time. His daughters were lovely and very professional. The flowers were gorgeous and in great shape. I was so happy! And our entrance way and alter arrangements were much larger than I was expecting. They were stunning and looked fresh for days after the wedding.
My bouquet was so beautiful and exactly what I had described to John.
Overall I was really happy with his services and impressed that he could do so much for my small flower budget.
Thank you so much, John!
(6 bouquets, 8 boutonnières, 5 corsages, 2 (huge) alter arrangements, 1 entranceway arrangement, petals for flower girls, 1 throw away bouquet, roses to decorate the cake= $600 + delivery to LA. Amazing value.)I had a wonderful experience with John Mays and would highly recommend him to any Bride looking for beautiful flowers for a modest price.

After an awful experience with another florist (which I eventually canceled just one month before my wedding), I was desperate and in a hurry to find a good, reliable, and responsive florist.
Then came John Mays (and his crew) to the rescue!
The website is a bit outdated -- but I can honestly attest that they are awesome!
After my initial email, John immediately gave me a quote that I liked. He offered to meet me anywhere, but I asked to meet at his office so I can see his portfolio and other samples he may have. If you choose to meet at his "office", it is a small office that he shares with his brother. It is located along a busy street in Riverside, but it is located in a residential neighborhood. Be sure to understand this, or else you may just feel the need to bolt out of there. I sorta did. :)
I already had a good idea of what I wanted, so I brought pictures to give him. He suggested other things to make the arrangement so much better and I kept asking how much more it was going to be (I was traumatized by the previous florist who kept adding additional fees), but John said FREE. These were just additional items to make me happy, but the quote he gave me was firm (no additional costs). He was not pushy nor did he make me sign anything, or require a deposit like the other florist.
On the day of the wedding, John's crew (his family) arrived early and got everything set. We had some scheduling conflict with an event prior to our event, but John's crew patiently waited. My fiance (who was working with them) was very impressed with their work. When I finally saw the finished products, I was in tears! Everything was so much better than I had imagined. John and his crew did everything he promised and went above and beyond what I expected.
Overall --- AFFORDABLE flowers and EXCEPTIONAL service with OUTSTANDING results!!!

I searched far and wide for a florist that was in my small budget. My sister-in-law turned me on to John Mays. He had exactly what I needed for a price I could afford. He was easy to work with and was flexible. Our venue wasn't in the Riverside area, so he drove down to Anahiem to meet us and drop off the flowers the morning of. I was very happy with the quality and presentation of my flowers. I also was able to wittness his work in my brother's wedding and it was just as beautiful!I searched far and wide for a florist that was in my small budget.

John Mays was amazing! He did all of my florals for the wedding and it was an amazing price. He helped me pick flowers so that we would stay within my budget and still have the flowers look beautiful! He was also very flexible, adapting to the number of pieces that I needed up until the week of the wedding.John Mays was amazing! He did all of my florals for the wedding and it was an amazing price.

We had a terrible experience with John Mays. Despite his assurances that he was a professional and that no matter what, our wedding flowers would be beautiful, the products he delivered were a complete disaster. He failed to deliver items that were specified in the contract (notably, he failed to place the flower petals along the aisle runner that I specifically requested). The aisle runner itself, which he assured me would stay put because he taped it down, was coming up and looked cheap as I came down the aisle. He left after he finished setting everything up without checking in with us. While some of the problems could not have been solved at that point, at least some of them could have been corrected.
The boutonnieres were too large for their purpose and unusable. We relied on his expertise in selecting the flowers, and the dinner plate-sized boutennieres were obnoxious. We ended up without boutennieres at all for the wedding. :(
The throw bouquet literally disintegrated when it was caught by one of my guests (and there was no fight or anything - it was just that poorly made). The bridal and attendants' bouquets were partially wilted and partially not even bloomed, and the bridal bouquet rubbed off on my dress, creating red streaks across the front of my white gown. The flower girl basket was not really a basket, but was a shallow container with a handle, and the flower petals were in a large plastic bag that stuck out from the top at least 6 inches. I just dealt with it because it was either that or Inot having a flower girl basket at all. :( I was going to buy our own basket, but John included it in the package, so I didn't bother. I wish I had just bought a back up.
Overall, it was such a disaster and we really wish we would have just done the flowers ourselves. We could have gotten what we wanted and saved a lot of money. After the wedding, we contacted John to try to resolve the issues we had. Instead of an apology or an offer to refund part of what we paid him (particularly for the more egregious parts) - which would have made us feel better about the whole situation, he attacked me as being too sensitive and became very defensive.
Save yourself the trouble. We couldn’t find any reviews of him, and we just relied on his representations. We learned our lesson, and I hope to save other brides the trouble by letting you know what we figured out the hard way. Honestly - go elsewhere, or if you're really on a budget - do it yourself! You'll be better off than going with John.
Good luck and have a wonderful wedding!We had a terrible experience with John Mays.
