We are very glad that we chose Occasion 9 as our florist for our wedding at The Foundry.
We worked primarily with Mira; she understood my vision from Day 1 and even suggested things we did not think about. She is very easy to work with and accommodating to our requests, even including the type of leaves and flowers we wanted/ did not want.
The flowers she provided for the day of the wedding looked even better than what we had imagined and many of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers and bouquets were. We are glad we worked with them and would highly recommend them.

Mira was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding in the NY botanical gardens in June. When I had my first meeting with her, I knew immediately I was going with Occasion9. Unlike other florists/vendors I've met earlier in the week (two others) who spent ~10 mins with me after being 30 mins late, Mira sat down with me to talk through the planning, designs, and color schemes she thought would work well with the venue for over an hour! She was extremely patient to talk through about a lot of the details as I only had some color schemes and general designs in mind and wasn’t sure at all about a lot of the details. Mira knew exactly what to do, and I left the meeting completely reassured. Occasion9 also suggested very reasonable prices and worked with me to stay within my budget. They also suggested makeup and hair vendors (which I went with) when I told her I had no idea where to start looking. I met with Mira two more times (a couple of months before and about two weeks before the wedding) to go over the final details. I also decided to add an arch which Mira was generous to go over the look of and discuss what would match well with the style of the venue/wedding, etc. The day of, everything was beyond PERFECT. I had never seen such beautiful bridal bouquet. My mother could not stop gushing about how pretty and unique the bouquet was. The flowers were fresh and the flower/candle arrangements, centerpieces were spectacular. All the guests loved the beautiful elegant arch with flowers and fabric and took turns taking pictures in front of it until they had to be seated for the start of reception. I’ll be recommending Occasion9 to everyone! They are extremely professional, thoughtful, attentive to detail, artistic, and wonderful to work with.

Mira and Claire are very professional. Communication with them was very easy. They were always available and responded quickly. They made my wedding so beautiful. Everything I asked for they made it happen. Everything I visioned came to life =) I am very thankful to them and recommend them for any events.

Thank you Occasion9!

I knew we were in good hands as my friend actually got her wedding flowers done through Occasion9 a couple years ago, but actually working with Claire and Mira was such a pleasure, and most important, our flowers were beautiful!

It was clear from our first meeting that Mira and Claire cared and wanted our wedding to be how we had always imagined it, and they were patient with our questions and meticulously showed a lot of different floral arrangements and options.
Even on our wedding day, they came early to personally set up all of the centerpieces and made sure that my bouquet and even the cake decoration were flawless.

I couldn't have wanted anything more, and am so happy Mira and Claire were a part of our unforgettable day. Thank you so much Mira & Claire!!

Occasion9's service, professionalism, and creativity was stellar during my winter wedding. Claire and Mira brought everything I envisioned to life. They were open to my ideas and used their expertise to build on my color scheme. Friends and family were swooning over the bouquets and the centerpieces. Highly recommend!

We just had our wedding a few weeks ago and it was wonderful thanks to occasion9. The flowers we originally wanted was out of season and they handcrafted branch by branch a different arrangement to give us the look and feel of what we wanted. Basically, they turned our wedding hall into forest in full bloom. Literary branch by branch and flower by flower. They came early to the venue and the two worked nonstop to get all the arrangements just perfect...working till the last minute and staying behind to over look that everything was perfect. Very professional, kind and the most talented florists in NYC.

Occasion9 was absolutely amazing to work with! Mira and Claire are so talented, creative, and professional - from our first meeting together, I knew that they were the perfect choice. Not only did they quickly understand the rustic/garden concept I was thinking of, but they were also flexible with working within my budget and easy to communicate with. The flowers turned out gorgeous, and the color palette was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! On the day of the wedding, Mira and Claire arrived on time and worked efficiently to set everything up. They even helped line up my wedding party to make sure our ceremony flowed smoothly and stayed till the cocktail hour to double check that everything looked right. Our guests continually complimented us on how beautiful the venue looked! Thank you Occasion9 for making our wedding day so perfect!

Claire & Mira created an elegant and beautiful arrangement of floral for my recent wedding. I 1st met them not knowing what look or feel I wanted. Once we started talking and once they sensed my personality it was artistically all taken care of. Words can not describe how beautiful everything came out. From my bouquet, table floral, ceremony floral arrangement, and the whole set up was perfect with ease. All my guest were raving about the fabulous arrangements and pieces. I could not envision anything better. Thank you Claire & Mira (Occasion9) for helping me create such a beautiful wedding.

Occasion9 did an amazing job at my wedding!! They were super responsive with email and very accommodating. They weren't pushy like other vendors to spend more money and they also have lots of design recommendations. I would highly recommend them to everyone who's looking for a good value and talented florist for their wedding.

I used Occasion9 for floral and day-of-coordination services. They did a fabulous job and the whole O9 team was great to work with. Jasmine created beautiful floral arrangements and a chuppah based on pictures I brought her and took extra time with meetings and mock-ups to make sure everything was what I hoped for. Emily was my day-of coordinator (and involved in all the floral details) and I cannot possibly say enough compliments about her work. She was incredibly organized and on top of every little detail. She took the initiative to get in touch with all my other vendors early on and made sure everything was on course. She thought of lots of things I hadn't thought of and made my life so much easier in the weeks approaching the wedding, and in particular the day of. I can't imagine the wedding going as smoothly as it did without her help. Overall, O9 provided very personalized services and went above and beyond all my expectations.

Occasion9 was able to design and set the flowers exactly the way I envisioned it! They were very accommodating to our budget and was able to make suggestions that fit our vision and budget perfectly! We had to make last minute changes to the tables, and Occasion9 was very flexible and made sure there were not issues on the day of. I would highly recommend Occasion9 for all your flower needs! We will definitely be using them in the future for other events!

Everyone knows that planning a wedding is hard. There are many things to think about and concerns to stress over but regarding flowers, I can easily say I was able to relax and not worry about because of Occasion 9. I reached out to Occasion 9 after seeing a friend's wedding. As a bridesmaid, I got a close hand look at the bouquet and the centerpieces. The floral arrangements were gorgeous. Not only that, the floral arrangements were classy and exactly what the bride wanted. Working with them for my wedding, I was extremely happy to see how they really wanted to let a bride's personality and wishes shine in the floral arrangements. From my first meeting with Jasmine, Emily and her team to the day of the wedding, they worked very hard to make sure they understood who I was and what kind of look I was looking to create. Knowing that I am a DIY person who likes all things crafty, they arranged to have me observe them personally design the mock centerpieces in person so that I can see the steps. I enjoyed the experience so much more because of this. Any questions or concerns I had I was free to email them. I never waited more than a day to get a response. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, meeting with Occasion 9 was something I looked forward to and not stress over. They talked over design aspects and helped create and bring my vision to life at a loft venue that had nothing in it. They had a hand creating the ceremony aisle, cocktail tables, altar flowers, centerpieces and even rented out unity candles. They're also mindful of your budget and can work with you to keep to it. Occasion 9 also provides event planning and while I was already working with someone else, I would not hesitate to recommend them for the service based on my experience with Emily who is prompt, organized and knowledgeable. I only wish I could show the pictures of the floral arrangements so people can see how beautiful their work is but I hope you guys take my word for it!

I was 100% satisfied with occasion9 from the very first day we sat down to plan up to the day of the wedding.
I went in with no idea of what I wanted or what kind of look I was going for. Jasmine and her team were fantastic. They were able to throw out a bunch of unique ideas with tons of details that I would never have come up with on my own. The best part is that they work with your budget to make sure you get the most bang for your buck but everything still comes out looking so extravagantly beautiful.
I got to take a sample centerpiece home after one of our meetings a couple weeks before the wedding. I had several people stop me on the street asking me where I got the flowers from and one guy even offered to buy it from me (of course I refused).
Setup on the day of the wedding went smoothly. They were on time and worked very efficiently to get all the centerpieces and arrangements together. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and so unique (not like the same old arrangements you see at every other wedding). The centerpieces had so much different texture and they complimented the venue so well.
I regret not preserving my bouquet but all the flowers photographed so well that I have pictures to last a lifetime.
Thank you Occasion9!!!

Occasion 9 was recommended to me by my photographer/videographer and from the first initial meeting, I went with them before even exploring any other florists.
Not only do they provide flowers for your wedding, they work with your vision of what you desire and then conceptualize and execute an amazing display. From my centerpieces to the bouquets to the arch for the ceremony, everything exceeded my expectations.
Emily and her team were absolutely amazing to work with-- I felt like I knew them for years!
Not to mention, their prices for NYC were absolutely affordable.
I highly recommend Occasion 9!

Emily and the rest of the team at Occasion 9 were absolutely fantastic. I went to them with a relatively low budget for flowers/table decor (by NYC standards!) and they went above and beyond to work within my budget while still creating beautiful and very substantial arrangements. I am quite particular, however at our first meeting I felt very reassured that they understood my vision, and the end result surpassed my expectations. They created a full-size sample centerpiece that we reviewed together, and they paid close attention to the small changes I wanted to make for the final arrangements. Emily is responsive, proactive, professional, and a delight to work with. Flowers were truly one thing I never worried about because I knew they were in excellent hands. Although I only used them as a florist, it is clear that the team does more comprehensive wedding planning. Emily came to a meeting that I had at our venue and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to ask. They go above and beyond and are by far the most reasonable florist I came across in NYC. Highly, highly recommend!

I have used the wedding planning services provided by an affiliate company of Occasion 9 and both services have been nothing but positive experiences. The meticulous level of attention, care, and creativity Jasmine puts into the work of her floral decorations are impeccable. My wife had research many different ideas and Occasion was able to incorporate each detail into the floral designs. We had our celebration at the Woodbury Country Club and the place is stunning without any décor. However I was concern about the lighting since we had a late Friday wedding in mid-autumn. Occasion 9 was able to illuminate and even bring out a astounding side during the ceremony. We could not be happier with the experience and decorations provided by Occasion 9 and would highly recommend anyone looking to complete their wedding with the finest floral designs to utilize their services.

My wife and I went with Occasion9 for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the decision. My reasons for my satisfaction are: 1. The quality of flowers exceeded my expectation; 2. Occasion9 was impeccable with timing, followup, and follow-through.; 3. It was almost as if we never had to worry about flowers & decorations at all since everything was all done according to plan and beautifully.

I'm grateful for these reasons because their quality of service, responsiveness, and professionalism ensured that there was one less thing to worry about!

My recommendation for anyone who's contemplating on using Occasion9 is this. Don't lose sleep over flower arrangements. Let Emily and her team take care of you, and don't be a *insert word here*zilla. They're true professionals and will not disappoint you.

It was such a joy to work with Jasmine and Emily, I was actually sad when our wedding adventure was over! The florals were among the last major thing we worked on together, and I totally get why; they wanted to get a feel for who we were, stylistically as well as personality-wise, so when the time came they were able to craft the perfect floral arrangement for us.
The reception was held at a loft space, Gary's Loft, which has views of the Empire State Building, and while it has really beautiful furniture and decor, we needed to give it a few elements that said it was our wedding, and not just a beautiful loft space. Because the guests would walk directly into the reception space from the elevator, it was important that the first thing they say gave them a "You've arrived at the wedding party" feeling. Jasmine designed a gorgeous arrangement directly across from the elevators to give the wedding party just that feeling. They worked within our budget, were very helpful with the pre-wedding jitters and anxiety, and answered all of our frantic emails. We would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Occasion 9 provided the flowers for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how beautiful everything turned out. We booked our wedding reception at Studio 450, which is a very raw loft space on the west side of nyc. The space has amazing views and has a cool industrial look, but it is completely white (walls, floors, ceilings) so we knew that we would need a great florist to help soften the place up. On top of that, my wife Karen is an interior designer and had a specific vision in mind for the space so I knew the bar would be set pretty high. Well, Occasion 9 met and exceeded every expectation from start to finish and the we got rave reviews about the flowers from our guests.

We knew we found the perfect florist after our first meeting with Occasion 9. During the meeting Jasmine & Emily listened to our overall vision and were able to quickly bring that vision to life with hand sketches. Throughout the process they were so attentive to detail and were always happy to accommodate our varying requests. We even changed a few things during our "mock up" meeting and they were nice enough to do another mock up for us to see what the final arrangements would look like. The two of them are both so friendly and you could tell that they really worked hard to exceed all expectations, and maximize the decor within our budget.

We are absolutely thrilled with the way the flowers and overall decor transformed the reception space into everything we wanted. We would without a doubt highly recommend them!

I am very grateful to have had Jasmine and Emily as florists for my wedding. They were helpful, supportive and professional since the beginning planning stages of my wedding to the day of my wedding.

I do not live in New York, so communication was either done via email or phone. Communicating through email or phone was key, and they were always responsive! They always received questions and suggestions warmly, and genuinely provided feedback regarding price, idea, and wedding preparations. I always knew I was in good hands!

They went above and beyond my expectations. My baker messed up the color scheme on my wedding cake by adding flowers that I did not ask for. I had no idea about this issue nor was it a problem for Jasmine and Emily. However, they willingly brought the problem to my attention and fixed the mistake that they didn't make. If it wasn't for their attention to detail, care and help I would have had a cake that probably would have stuck out like a sore thumb. Their thoughtfulness and concern not just for the flowers, but for the bride was evident.

Jasmine and Emily are truly gifted in what they do. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and arrangements were fresh, beautiful, and modern. Even though I had no idea about which flowers to use, Jasmine and Emily captured the romantic and vintage vibe that I had in my head with the flowers perfectly just by having a conversation about my wedding! In the end, everyone complimented me on flowers, but all credit is definitely due to Jasmine and Emily.

I am thankful I got to meet and work with such wonderful ladies who were not just florists, but a concerned and caring friend. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

My wife and I were recommended to Occasion 9 through a colleague. We could not have been happier with the results. Emily was really kind and professional to work with. If you want really fresh and beautiful arrangements, I would recommend going with Occasion 9. Everyone at the wedding complimented us on the flowers - I don't ever notice them in the weddings that I go to. This alone makes them worth it. We had our wedding at St Augustines, Park Slope and then the Montauk Club for the reception. Emily and Elizabeth flawlessly transferred the flowers to the reception soon after the ceremony.

If you want to deal with stress free professionals that produce gorgeous work that everyone will notice, then Occasion 9 are for you.

Jasmine provided the flowers for our wedding and it was phenomenal. She met all of my expectations and was great with all our emails. I was planning my wedding all the way from FL and was only able to meet with her 2 times before our wedding. She was able to provide me with all the dreams i had for my wedding flowers. My wedding bouquet was so pretty! She was able to provide me with Peonies even in November. The bouquet was so pretty that even people at the airport stopped me to comment on how pretty the flowers were.
I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have one less aspect to worry about their wedding.

We work long hours and weekends and Occasion 9 was so accommodating and understanding of our schedules and made the entire process so much easier. They truly went out of their way to make our wedding better than we could have imagined. We are so grateful for all their hard work and rest assured that you have found a fantastic team in Occasion 9. I would recommend them to anyone.
