    Wedding arrangements and rentals

    We are very happy with the work that the Florist at Mahoney’s did at our wedding!

    Mahoney’s was so flexible and patient throughout the planning process. We had in mind for our wedding lush greenery more than flowers, and yet we also needed bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces. Mahoney’s was a one-stop shop for us, working with us for plant rentals and florals. We even bought some furniture at Mahoney’s, and they agreed to deliver it along with the flowers and plant rentals on our wedding day. We had several meetings with Rachel Abbott before the wedding, who guided us through her plan with great professionalism. She reassured us that she understood our vision, and she really delivered!

    On the day of the wedding, they delivered the florals and plants promptly and even arranged for a special pickup late after the wedding. They coordinated with our planner and everything went perfectly smoothly. We had moments, looking around on our wedding night, when we agreed that the plants and florals were more plentiful and beautiful than we’d hoped.

    We deeply appreciate and strongly recommend Mahoney’s for wedding florals!

    June wedding - bouquets and centerpieces

    We used Mahoney's for our June 2022 wedding and loved all of the arrangements they put together. Our wedding coordinator handled most of the communication with them, but they appeared to be responsive and adaptable to what we were envisioning. Would definitely use again!

    We met with Helen and she was great. Planned out exactly what we were looking for from pictures that we had brought in. Would recommend to everyone.

    Working with Helen at the Florist department was such a wonderful experience!! She provided the most gorgeous flower bouquets and arrangements for my wedding, flowers for our wedding cake and ceremony flowers/arrangements. Helen, an artists like myself, shared my vision and truly understood what I was looking for. You could tell she was so excited and enjoys what she does. She was responsive to email and phone calls with additional changes as the day got closer. Helen was just a joy to work with and I was confident in leaving this big part in her hands. She provided such unique flowers as she had the garden centers variety of flowers to choose from and gave our venue life!

    So glad we decided to work with Helen at Mahoney's Garden Center!

    The quality of the service and the level of professionalism from Rachel was outstanding. We had a lot to worry about that day but one thing we didn't need to was the flowers. They thoroughly complimented our theme, and the variety of flowers used really made both the purple and lime pop. Their was no cheap filling used in our bouquets so I really felt we got a good deal on the pricing, and received something that was worth much more than we paid. We would definitely recommend Rachel for any event.

    We used Rachel for the flowers and floral centerpieces for our wedding in October. I can't say enough positive about our experience working with her or about her amazing eye for flowers.

    I had no idea what I wanted, I just had a general color palate. Rachel took my obscure ideas and made them into absolutely gorgeous artwork.

    She is super easy to work with, knows her flowers inside and out, and replies to emails very promptly and professionally. We were so happy with our flowers for the wedding that I am also currently using her for centerpieces for a friends shower, and I know I will continue to use her artwork for years to come.

    Rachel at Mahoney's Garden Center in North Chelmsford, MA was the florist for my wedding day and I could not have been happier with my decision to use her as my florist. Rachel was incredibly easy to work with; she replied to emails quickly and was always willing to meet me whenever I had a question. I had no idea what types of flowers I wanted so I could not easily articulate what I was looking for, but Rachel seemed to know exactly what I was envisioning. Rachel was extremely patient with me throughout the process and easily accommodated me whenever I changed my mind. I could not ask for a better florist. The flowers were absolutely perfect! From the centerpieces, to the bridal bouquets, to the alter pieces, Rachel created exactly what I was looking for and payed careful attention to details throughout the process. I highly recommend her!

    Mahoney's Garden Center in Winchester, MA was an excellent and affordable option for a florist. They were reliable and attentive and seemed to care about giving us the best value. We had 220 people and 30 individual flower pieces for members of the wedding party/family. They were not pressuring and they were very adaptive.

    Working with Rachel through Mahoneys was so easy. She knew exactly what I wanted and made my wedding exactly what I envisioned. She's very flexible and easy to work with. Her work is beautiful, I would recommend her to anyone.

    When I began planning my wedding, I knew nothing about flowers and only had a few pictures of what I thought looked nice. The staff at Mahoney's (specifically Rachel) did a fantastic job informing me and helping me choose the right flowers for my big day; both in appearance and in price. They even ordered a selection of flowers to show me in person to better inform my decision. Throughout the process, the staff was so helpful answering my questions and even adding to my order (I had a last minute centerpiece addition and needed flowers for my cake). They were very responsive and flexible; all I had to do was choose my flowers and drop off my centerpiece vases and they took care of the rest. The final products (bridal/bridal party bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, flowers for the cake and card table) were amazing! They were exactly what I envisioned, and then some. Rachel even used pearl pins and burlap for my bouquets, which fit in with my theme perfectly. They took care of set-up as well. I cannot recommend Mahoney's enough!

    Wow, Jennifir at Mahoney's did an incredible job for us. We didn't have a bridal party, but did my bridal bouquet, plus corsages and boutonnieres for the mothers/fathers/groom along with some other accent flowers for the space (Cambridge Boat Club). First off, my bouquet was amazing. When I met with Jennifir, I provided very little input aside from our colors. I received so many compliments on it! The photographers were saying it was the prettiest they'd seen, my groom loved it, everyone was just really wowed.

    Also, there was a last minute (1.5 weeks out) decision to add hanging baskets of flowers & loose flowers in small bottles to the order. This didn't prove to be any kind of problem for Mahoney's. I should mention this also meant they had to make 2 deliveries, the personal flowers to the hotel & the other flowers to the venue. Everything showed up promptly and the personal flowers were packaged really nicely.

    If you are looking for really beautiful flowers, at a reasonable price, and a florist who is kind, thoughtful, a good communicator, and really talented, I would strongly suggest speaking with Jennifir at Mahoney's in Winchester.

    Everyone at Mahoney's was very friendly and helpful. I was my sister's maid of honor and my friend recommended that i go there . I am glad i did! everything was perfect and of course the bride (who lives in FL) was in love with her bouquet! (I was planning a New England wedding.) The quality and freshness of the flowers was beyond what i was expecting. Rachel was excellent to work with and she made sure i got what i wanted and more. Rachel also was very patient with my mom and I since we mostly did picture messaging with my sister. Overall, i highly recommend this place to everyone. The price is incredibly reasonable and the quality is above and beyond.

    Rachel, Mahoney’s Garden Center Florist Manager, put together the flowers for my wedding and she did an amazing job. She went so far above and beyond what I expected any florist to do. Rachel spent so much time trying new and different things and providing me with a variety of options in an effort to make the flowers perfect. I was really impressed with the job she did and she was so incredibly easy to work with. I also got so many compliments from people at my wedding about the flowers. I highly recommend her!

    I chose Mahoney's for my wedding flowers because they have the most amazing selection of orchids of any place I could find. Helen worked with me to design a beautiful bouquet and Ann put together beautiful centerpieces. Everything was delivered on time for a reasonable price.

    Wow, who'd a thought that Mahoney's Garden Center would be the perfect wedding florist, but they were and we would recommend them to everyone. The flowers were beautiful - everyone commented on how wonderful they were and what a great job Mahoney's did. Everything you could want in a wedding florist they provided. They were professional, they worked with us, they delivered on time, and they made perfect arrangements and corsages.

    Mahoney's did a phenomenal job!!!

    Mahoney's did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job with the flowers for our wedding! A special shout out to Rachel Abbott who is just the best to work with. She figured out the perfect way to come up with a wreath arrangement to go around the small lanterns my mom put together for the centerpieces. She asked me to send sample photos of bouquets I liked and to tell her my favorite flowers, and she took that information to make the most gorgeous bouquets for me and my niece. The boutonnieres, corsages, and hair combs for our parents, grandparents, and the groom were all perfect, too. Rachel herself even delivered all the flowers to our wedding venue, even though it was a good hour from Winchester, for a totally reasonable fee. Everything was just gorgeous and people are still talking about how much they loved the flowers! And most people barely even notice the flowers at a wedding! Thank you, Mahoney's and Rachel! We will definitely continue to use Mahoney's for all other floral arrangement needs.

    This review is for the mahoney's in Winchester, specifically Rachel Abbott. She used to work in Chelmsford, but you can find her at the Winchester location. I luckily knew Rachel who had done my sisters wedding back in 2014, I think my sister found her through Craigslist. She is very talented in a humble way, I'm not even sure if she knows how great she is. When looking for a florist, I would highly recommend going with her. She is flexible, let me provide the vases and some of the supplies knowing it would cost me way less than what she was able to provide. Most other florists would say no without a doubt knowing they can overcharge to make a profit, which she does not do. My centerpeices were SO beautiful and my bouquet was PERFECT! My flowers lasted about 2 weeks after my wedding too! Everyone raved about my centerpeices and immediately couldn't believe I went through mahoney's. I seriously recommend going to see Rachel!!!

    Working with Rachel was great! Don't let her age or quiet nature fool you, this woman is a force with flowers. I explained what I kind of looking for and told her my budget and she made magic happen. The bouquets were gorgeous and durable! The colors were perfect as well. She has a great eye, a wonderful personality, and, because Mahoney's grows all their own stuff, good prices.

    Wedding plants & flowers

    We hired Mahoney’s to do the flowers for our May 2023 wedding in Massachusetts, and are so happy we did! We worked with Rachel, and she was lovely, and very patient when we wanted changes! We explained our vision to her (in terms that likely came across as very vague and confusing lol) and she was able to bring it to life exactly as we wanted. We had different types of floor plants and potted plants for decor, and boxes of mixed plants and flowers for the centerpieces, as well as bouquets and church flowers. Our vision was somewhat unconventional, using many desert plants that are not too common in the northeast, but she procured them and made all the arrangements look beautiful. Additionally, she was able to help us tailor the proposal to keep the overall cost within our budget, including setting the larger plants as rentals rather than buying them (they delivered and picked up from the venue). Overall, Rachel & Mahoney’s were great to work with, and we were thrilled with the outcome!

    i would not hire this company simply because the manager whom i had to go through was rude & i ended up having to hire another florist at the last minute. when i asked her for suggestions in regards to fall flowers she was unresponsive and told me "it's what ever i would like." i had a list of possible flowers that would be available & she informed me that wasn't the case but wouldn't tell what would be available. i was forced to tears one day & i opted to look elsewhere.
