"Service is above and beyond"
To be frank, I had thought that I was dealing with Incredible Florist on Seton Blvd, as I had placed an order just the day before for an anniversary gift for my one daughter and her husband. However, somehow I was connected to Avenida Flowers on Lake Fraser Drive. The woman who answered the phone was pleasant to speak with and handled all my inquiries. A bouquet was ordered for a second daughter, as a "Just Because..." gift. All was well. Flowers were pretty. I only gave a four star instead of a five because I thought for the price I paid, it would have been nice to see a better vase than a 'mason jar' that I could purchase at the dollar store for $1.50. Surely the price for the flowers would have covered a bit of a nicer vase. The mason jar was made to look more attractive with the addition of ribbon, yet still, a nicer vase was expected. Sometimes it is difficult to write reviews when the person you speak with is so pleasant. Again, the chocolates were attractive, with sparkles on a couple of them. I was told that it would have been better if a small description of what was in the chocolates would have been good. Most of them tasted good apparently, but a few (about three out of nine) were not so well-liked. Part of the problem was not knowing what was in the chocolate. They are very attractive to look at though - nicely designed The balloon is an option that one can add to their purchase. The "crowd of smiley faces" was much nicer than the single smiley. I liked that choice. Satisfied to a degree, but not sure if I would go again. I liked Seton Blvd Incredible Florist. Their final product was 'amazing'. The vase is part of the package deal, and is important to me. The mason jar took away from the final effect, in my opinion. Not likely to reorder from this florist, despite the fact the woman is indeed very pleasant. The 'card' was typed up on the same piece of paper that talks about flower care and other 'information'. A separate little 'gift card' would have been much more appealing than the folded up piece of paper that the "message" from sender that had all the other information on (flower care, address etc). That was a poor touch.
TL:DR: THEY'RE INCREDIBLE! Definitely give them a call for all your flower needs. We booked them for wedding bouquets and bouts. I live in Ottawa but our wedding was in Calgary, so EVERYTHING had to be done over phone and email. They were slow to respond to emails (I legitimately forgot I emailed them for a good 4-5 weeks) but once I gave them a call, everything happened instantaneously. I sent them 2 Pinterest photos and they were able to put together amazing bouquets and bouts to match. The price was really good for the amazing flowers we got. They think of everything -- the bouquets came in vases for us, in bags for easy transport, and included microfiber cloths to wipe down the stem/handle right before the ceremony to avoid getting vase water on our dresses. Despite never having met me, Jenny and Cassandra were incredibly helpful. I had to add on about 110 stems of greenery for our DIY centerpieces, they managed to communicate to me what a "bunch" was over the phone, and gave an excellent estimate of how much I'd need (despite me knowing literally nothing about plants). Again the prices were AMAZING. Terrific experience all around! Will definitely recommend to family and friends :)
Horrible customer service when trying to order over $1000 in wedding flowers… Took multiple emails and calls to get an initial quote which should have been my first red flag. Wasn’t told they could not meet the pickup date requested until after the deposit was charged to my credit card. My card was charged before getting a final quote. Conflicting information on how I was to receive the flowers first it was out of water then in water. I was told after they charged my card that I could not get my flowers for a day and a half after the pickup date then all of a sudden I could get everything but one type. I was also told they might have to get my flowers a week and a half before my wedding meaning my bouquets would probably not last. By the end of it I wasn’t sure what I was actually even getting, every email was a different story which made me super uneasy to use them. To top it off after getting my deposit back I received the most unprofessional email saying I was the bad apple. Buyer beware!!
UPDATE: Incredibly impressed with how Laura managed this situation. Some of the best customer service I have received in response to an error. Will absolutely return as a customer. First time I have ever been disappointed with anything from here. I called in immediately after placing an order to see if the arrangement could be done in purple instead of pink. I was told this could be done with purple flowers and highlights of lavender flowers. The arrangement itself was, as always beautiful, but all of the flowers were pink. If they could not make it purple they could have told me so. I could have order a different arrangement. Deeply disappointed to pay so much and be lied to about what was delivered. After years of using Avenida flowers, I do not know if I will return as a customer.
Service is above and beyond. I used Avenida for my wedding. Their service was amazing and their response time was the best I've experienced in the wedding industry. The day before i picked up my flowers before the wedding, they noticed that some of the greenery that arrived didn't look like what was in my "inspiration" photos. So they called and asked whether or not this greenery was okay with me. I said I hoped for the kind in the photo and without blinking twice they said it was absolutely not problem and they found another supplier in the city and supplied me with exactly what I wanted for my wedding without making me feel like I was being a burden. Thank you guys so much for your service I actually felt like I bride with you.
I had purchased a hydrangea for my mom for Mother's Day from this florist...by chance I might add...they were the only florist in the area open that Sunday! Within a week the plant was showing signs that it could have a fungus. My mom called to see if she could exchange it. They didn't want her to bring it in (understandable) but to make up for it they delivered a beautiful arrangement of perennials and a box of chocolates to her house! Whoever dealt with my mom, thank you so much! You not only saved me the hassle of having to find a replacement gift, but your classy and lovely gesture have ensured that both of us will definitely be repeat customers. This level of service and integrity is hard to come by.
I ordered flowers online from Avenida for my mom's birthday. I was going to be out of town during her birthday so I ordered online 2 weeks in advance indicating the flower to be delivered on the exact day of her birthday. The next day when I was about to board my plane my mom called me asking if I had gotten her flowers. I was confused and contacted the flower shop via email. They replied and admitted their mistake right away. Colleen promised me to send a bigger arrangement on my moms birthday to fix the error. My mom was very happy with the flower she receives and I was very impressed with the level of customer service. Definitely going to pick them for my next flower order as well.
Awesome service! Great experience! I was in a super rush, running late, but wanted flowers that really expressed how special we felt about my gals Mom on her birthday. They had a perfect arrangement ready for me when I pulled up, and such a great deal on roses that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to remind my gal how special she is to me too. The girls had the second bouquet whipped up in record time (great teamwork ladies) and me on my way feeling really good about the time benefit proposition I took. Cost, quality and speed, perfect score in all three categories! Take a bow ladies, you rock! (Threw a couple of pics I took at your shop in as well)
I placed an order online with Avenida Flowers early on a Friday morning for same day delivery. I checked their delivery FAQ online and was well within the parameters for same day delivery. The flowers were not delivered the same day and no explanation was given. The contact numbers and email were not used to notify me that they were not delivered. Rather than contact me and see what I wanted to do about their mistake, they just delivered them on Monday as if I would not care. When I inquired as to how this would be rectified I was given the run around and a fabricated story. Would not recommend at all.
Ordered a bouquet with balloons and a card. Flowers were fresh and pretty and the card (with custom message) was good quality. They missed delivering the balloons so I emailed them and they were very responsive. They sent the balloons along with a complimentsry box of chocolates the very next day and that shows their dedication to the service! Very happy! A suggestion: would be good if they provided an estimated timeframe for when the delivery will take place or there was an option to select delivery time, so that its easier for the receiver to be around. Overall, really good!
Ordering online from the US for various locations in Canada (such as Calgary and Toronto) is so easy. The flowers and arrangements are always wonderful and the service is impeccable at all times of the year and especially for various holidays. I’ve used this florist for over a decade now and I and my friends and family are always pleasantly surprised with the results: beautiful flowers and gorgeous arrangements that are exactly as advertised online. Thank you Growers Direct, especially the Avenida location in Calgary.
My husband and I used Avenida Growers for our Wedding flowers this past August. We had met for a couple of consultations with other florists but after sitting down with Colleen she seemed to be the first to really grasp what I was looking for. I received, and continue to receive, so many compliments on the bouquets and boutonnieres for our wedding. All of the staff was kind, courteous and easy to deal with and the flowers held up amazingly well, even in the 40 degree smokey sauna that was this past summer.
I ordered flowers for my mom on her birthday. I know she lives close to Avenida Incredible Florist, and their website showcased lovely bouquets. That was all I knew about them! The flowers arrived early on her birthday, and she sent me a photo of the most beautiful bouquet. I am so pleased with the arrangement, and they have lasted a good long while. I will be happy to order more flowers from Avenida Incredible Florist in the future. Thanks for helping make mom's day so special!
Jenny and the girls were SUPERB!! They captured exactly what I wanted for my wedding and exceeded my expectations. Jenny was thorough, friendly and so helpful. I only wish I had my photos back from the wedding photographer so I could provide better pics. These photos just simply do not do the GORGEOUS flowers any justice. Everyone couldn't stop talking about the arrangements. I highly recommend them!! Thanks ladies!! P.S. When I get my professional photos I will share more :)
I have been using Avenida for years. I have ordered for my mom, mother-in-law, and aunt. I tell them my price range, their favorite color, and an arrangement I like, and then tell them to be creative! I have always gotten that phone call telling me how stunning the flowers are. I have also ordered the roses on rose day for the office; it just makes everyone's day when 10 dozen roses show up, and they are for everybody! Can't wait for the "ooh, flowers" again this year!
Avenida Grower Direct has consistently designed and created stunning flower arrangements each and every time I have ordered them. They snap to the job quickly and are very mindful of the flower type and preferences of their clients. The feedback that I have received from my friends and family about the floral arrangements I have sent to them has consistently been positive. I will continue to call on Avenida Grower Direct when I want to send someone some sunshine.
My neighbours bought me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers for my birthday on November 21. It is now December 10 and the flowers still look fresh and gorgeous! The bouquet was roses, lilies and fresia with greens and babies breath. These flowers are outstanding and the arrangement was so beautiful! I will purchase all my flower arrangements from Incredible florist Avenida from now on! Thank you for such a fresh, stunning arrangement Annie Campbell
I ordered the "Fruit of the Bloom" arrangement for my mother. The flowers are beautiful and the note was nicely formatted. It was nice to see that the words had not been mis-typed, re-typed with bad grammar or shabbily hand-written as I have experienced with other florists. The arrangement also matched well with the photograph on the website, so overall I am very happy. I would gladly recommend and use Avenida Grower Direct in the future.
Pricing was great, wonderful website and fast delivery. Was disappointed that they didn't state, they call the receiver in advance. If I would have known, I would have made sure they hadn't phoned my wife. That spoiled the surprise. Also upon her receiving the flowers they are already wilting. Paid good money and was expecting fresh flowers. Was certainly disappointed with the conclusion of my first experience.
Sunday afternoon and a lot of florists are actually closed on Sunday but not Avenida Grower Direct. I showed up there Sunday afternoon with some purchases that I wanted incorporated into an Arrangement which I wanted delivered that afternoon. Cassy did an outstanding job on the arrangement and I was incredibly pleased! I would absolutely go to Avenida Grower Direct again and I highly recommend them!
I ordered the florist special of the day to celebrate a special occasion. The flowers were fantastic and Lyn took such good care of me. I had scheduling issues and she sent out a second arrangement trying to fit it into a rapidly evolving day. I could not have asked for better service and the flowers were beautiful. Thank you so much for your fantastic customer service. Dave
A year ago I brought in the makings of a Christmas arrangement which included the basket and decorations, needing only greenery. They did a beautiful job filled with fresh greenery for a cost of 20.00. I returned this year and was somewhat disappointed to now be charged 50.00 and less greenery. Wanted to help local businesses but this was just a bit extreme. C. Wynne
Very easy online ordering system, same day shipping even on Sunday which was great! Free shipping, prices are slightly higher than I would expect, but given the service and quality it is very reasonable. I accidentally made a mistake in address of a recipient and the sorted it out and still delivered on time. Would order from them again and highly recommend this place.
Definitely recommend! I ordered the daily special online for delivery to a friend. All I told them was her favourite colour. They created a beautiful, abundant, creative and very fresh arrangement. The delivery person called in advance and was very pleasant. I ordered at night and it was at my friends home mid morning. Great experience. Thank you Avendia.
Good follow through and the arrangements each time brings atmospheric joy to all senses. Especially the eyes and nose. Ordering online is so easy and I’m known to not buying things if I can’t or haven’t touch, see or feel. Absolutely amazing staff as well. Keep up the great work. What to order? Everything and anything my favourite are roses.
I called them shortly after they opened on a weekday, they actually answered the phone, unlike two of their nearby competitors. They were able to deliver to a relatively close location by 3 PM that same day. The arrangement itself was fantastic, blown away, very impressive. This is the go to shop if you need flowers, delivered or not.
Just heard from my sis-in-law who received the flowers I ordered for her. She was absolutely delighted with them. She sent me a picture of the orchid arrangement and I have to say they were BEAUTIFUL and exactly as you advertised. Thank you for such great service! Third time I've ordered from you and have always been pleased.
I placed an order online and unfortunately it was not up to my expectation BUT when I called in and spoke with the rep, they went out of their way to make another order and I find that very rare and am super happy with the service. I would recommend this follower shop to any lovers that are out there. Thank you
I live in Saskatoon and have been ordering flowers for my family in Calgary for the past five or six years from Avenida. I can honestly say that the flower arrangements have been as expected, the website is very easy to navigate and delivery has always been on the day expected. I appreciate such good service!
I can't even express how happy I was with my bouquet and the boutineers we ordered from Avenida Grower's Direct. Colleen was so helpful when putting together my order for my table placements and they turned out better then I could ever imagine. I highly recommend you use them for your wedding!!
It was delivered on time. Maybe I have come to expect too much from Avenida Growers Direct, but this does not look like a 65.00 bouquet and the balloon I paid for did not accompany it. They have offered to deliver the balloon the next day. Not as happy as I used to be with the Avenida flowers.
Thank-you for making a beautiful arrangement for my mother. She told me that it is bright, colourful, and filled with many different pretty flowers. It helped cheer her up on another lonely COVID Mothers' Day. Thank-you for your expertise and for really putting your heart into your work.
I went to Avenida flowers for all of my wedding flowers and they were beautiful! They were delivered exactly when I needed them, arranged beautifully and lasted for a long time!! The staff is super friendly and very helpful!! I will be a client of theirs for all of my flower needs!!
I had ordered flowers to be delivered on my mom's birthday completely forgetting that she was heading out of town that same day. When Avenida called to confirm delivery my mom stated she was heading out of town and they arranged to have a fresh bouquet delivered upon her return.
Great experience. Sent surprise flowers to my mom on her birthday. They made sure to get it to her within the time window I gave them (before she left for the day) so that the flowers didn't sit out in the cold. Quick and easy ordering platform as well! Flowers were beautiful.
Flowers were fantastic and service as well. Order was placed at 830am and it was delivered before Noon on the same day! Ordered the florists choice bouquet and it was worth every penny spent. Beautiful colours and they smelt amazing. Highly recommend for anything you need!
Called wanting to send flowers to my gf in Calgary while I was in SK. They were very helpful picking the right flowers. I wanted to specific card sent with the flowers, I sent it to the store and they delivered it with the arrangement no problem. Would highly recommend!
I request a specific flower ( Stargazer) And I'm surprise with their accuracy, My partner love's the flower arrangement Just 1 thing, I add up a box of chocolate , but looks like I got Olivier Chocolate But I'm still satisfied with their service Highly recommendable^_
It is my first time to order from this shop and I am so satisfied with their service! My best friend loved the flowers and I was also notified when the order was out for delivery and got delivered. I will definitely order from them again in the future! Thank you.
I use Avenida Grower Direct for every flowery surprise I order :). They are helpful and thoughtful in their arrangements and don't charge for delivery which is an added bonus. I have always had great results with their Pick of the day arrangements.
I used Avenida Grower Direct for my wedding flowers and I couldn't have imagined more beautiful arrangements. I sat down with Colleen for the afternoon and she gathered all the flowers I was pointing out and we made the arrangements. I gave
I have ordered from Ontario site unseen for family in Calgary. These florists are artists in there own right. Incredible arrangements, full vases, beautiful flowers exactly as I ask or they suggest. Brilliant flower market!!
I am always so happy this the first class service that I receive from Avenida Grower Direct so when it was time to send flowers on my boss's behalf I knew exactly who to order them from! Thanks so much, Investors Group!
Dropped by on a whim and left with an armload of beautiful flowers for a great price! The staff gave excellent service and even gave me some helpful tips on how to pick the roses that will last the longest. Thank you!!
Amazing Flower Shop with the most knowledgeable and helpful ladies. Thank you so much, they even have classes to help you learn to create your vision. Highly reccomend them for any occasions especially weddings.
Fantastic. Great customer service, bouquet looked beautiful, and delivery person actually rang doorbell on arrival (shockingly not a given with online flower ordering). Incredible, will only go back to them.
I ordered an arrangement online to be delivered to my husband. The arrangement was absolutely beautiful, and the service I received was superb. I would recommend using Avenida Grower Direct to everyone =)
Supplied the flowers for my daughter’s wedding and they were absolutely stunning. I had people continually ask me who did the flowers as they were outstanding. Thank you for your beautiful arrangements
The flower arrangement turned out to be more lovely than expected! Very pleased with the order and delivery. The staff are very helpful and informative. We will definitely order from them again!
Very pleased with the quality of the service. Surprised my sister with some flowers for her birthday. She was very happy and moved to tears with the beautiful arrangement. Highly recommend.
What a beautiful rose arrangement, my wife absolutely loved the flowers. If you need flowers this is the place to get them you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Avenida Incredible Florist!!!
So easy to order and Avenida Grower Direct took care of everything. Will definitely order from them again. Although I haven't seen a photo of the arrangement, I'm sure it was wonderful.
I wanted to say a huge thank you for our beautiful wedding flowers on Saturday! We were so happy with them and got tons of compliments throughout the day! They also lasted beautifully!
I was in a rush to get flowers for Mothers Day, and I had the best help and experience today. Thank you girls for the help. And the flowers were affordable. Definitely coming back
Living in England, it is so good to know a caring florist that you can depend on. The bouquet was bright and beautiful and my 'star' granddaughter was very surprised and pleased.
Courtney prepared the most beautiful “Pink Floyd Roses” arrangement for me today (and I bought myself some tulips too!). Super friendly service, very Covid- Conscious. Thank you!
I ordered on line an hour before they closed for a friends birthday and delivery and they did all my wishes absolutely beautiful, thank you so much my Friend just loved them ❤
Always incredible flowers at amazing prices. The talented ladies at this shop will create and design arrangements with your request and budget in mind. My favourite florist !
I ordered my wedding bouquet in October last year and I absolutely loved it! They created my dream bouquet with beautiful Autumn colours. I highly recommend this place!! :)
Ordered flowers online for Mother’s Day. The process was quick and simple, delivered when they were supposed to be and the bouquet was lovely. My mother-in-law loved them!
When away during an occasion that calls for flowers, it is nice to be able to trust your flower shop to deliver a great flower package on time. Thank you Avenida Flowers.
The young lady there was amazing. She was patient and very knowledgeable. Great place and I'll definitely use them as my go-to for flowers. Reasonably priced variety too!
Ordered flowers online and it was a very easy process. Mentioned that the person getting the flowers liked the colour purple and they got a beautiful purple arrangement.
She absolutely loved the flowers. The florist couldn't have been more accommodating and made sure everything was perfect. Can't say enough good things. Thank you
I ordered online and it was super easy. I was kind of worried about the delivery but it was right on time thanks so much! Oh and the arrangement was beautiful !
Our wedding planner had used this florist to create our succulent table center pieces and provide organically laid greenery for our ceremony and reception.
Ordered flowers for mothers day and had no issues with service or quality. I was out of the province and my mother loved the gift. Would go with them again!
All the arrangements I’ve ordered from Avenida Incredible Florist have been beautifully arranged & always fresh. Wonderful selection in the store as well.
Ordered a planter basket for my wife and she absolutely loves it. Definitely recommend these guys they clearly take pride in their arrangements.
I had a great experience with this company! I ordered flowers for my sister's birthday and they were delivered on time and were beautiful!
