Tina's not so great with the calculator. When I first visited I knew something was off when the services sounded too cheap. I then asked Tina to recalculate to be sure of everything ... well, she forgot to add in my bridesmaid bouquets. No sweat - she gave me a new estimate. It was a little more than another estimate I received at another flower shop, however I felt that Tina had more of a grasp of what my vision was for the bouquets and wedding cake flowers and such. So at the end of that meeting, I gave her a deposit for the services and I left with a receipt with what flower arrangements and services I was to receive for my wedding - along with the cost (which was circled by Tina).
I paid in full within two weeks. The WEEK before my wedding, I called Tina regarding some of the details and to reconfirm everything was alright. And voila, the troubles began. She said I owed her approximately $15 more. I was angry that I had already paid in full and she "forgot" to calculate something else in. Then there were some unreturned phone calls and her voice mail box was full. I was a worried bride at this point! I met with her THREE days before my wedding and there was now a BIGGER SURPRISE. She said she recalculated again and I now owed her $150. I was in tears at that point and felt like she low balled me to get my service. There was no backing out at this point. She said to pay up and she was not going to argue with me. I began telling her that "her mistake was disastrous and she should have told me immediately after finding out there was such an error, and at this late of point, it should be her loss, not mine." Being as professional as Tina is, she walked away from me and said she would not speak to me while I'm angry. I then picked up my cellphone to ask my fiance to come speak to her, to which she said "Yea, call your boyfriend or fiance or whoever he is and argue with him, because I'm not going to argue with you."
Bottom line - I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!
Cons: Low-balling was involved and prices increased by $150, THREE DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING after paying in full!
