Flowers by Dan

I found him through here,and the reviews about him were absolutely true.
How can I say thanks enough to him! We loved everything he did.
My bouquet and bridemaids' bouquets were so pretty. The centerpieces were gorgeous.

If there are more stars I could give,I'll give all my stars for him.
Thanks a lot!

Dan, This is my first review I have ever written and I wanted to write it for you


Flower by Dan made our wedding celebration more unforgettable than we could have ever imagine. My husband and I interviewed many florists but when we met Dan I knew he will be the one to do the floral arrangements for my wedding. There is something about his charm that made us feel comfortable; he understood the look I was going for! We did not have a large budget but the flowers arrangements’ he made looked like a million bucks! Furthermore, I didn’t worry at all on the day of my wedding; he was there on time and everything was set up and taken down without me noticing; it was amazing! As a kind gesture, a crew member brought my husband-to-be a glass of water for the day was extremely warm. Who does that, other than a true professional who cares for his clients?

Dan you will always be in my thoughts and prayers and know how much I appreciate your being part of my wedding celebration and the beautiful floral arrangements that will last forever on my Wedding Album.

Thank you

First we have been to a lot of vendors and i cant really connect with them so one day, while we are in our cake supplier who is Jaquis ( the best cake i ever tasted), i Saw Dan's Post card and since he is close we went to there. He was soooo busy that day, but we called him and ask if we can come, he said sure and one i saw him ( the vibe is soooo Good) he is very nice to us (mike and i) he knows how to communicate with your needs and the colors I love how it turned out...

he knows what i want and he gives it to you with a very nice price..:D he is pretty much negotiable and soo friendly.. Easy to work with.. you can really relax ..

He is the best and we are thankful for a very nice wedding he gave us..
we cant thank you more..
i love you Dan.. wish you all the best.

Thank you, Dan!!! We are so happy!!

From the first time I met Dan, I knew he would be wonderful and he only enhanced my expectations! I met Dan a little over a year ago when I was interviewing vendors for my September 26, 2009 wedding. After my first meeting with Dan, I knew he was the one I wanted! He seemed more excited about my wedding than I was! (And that was a lot!) I loved everything he suggested, he listened to me about what I wanted, he showed me pictures and asked questions, and in the end the price he quoted was within my budget. I felt like I was getting so much more from Dan than just "flowers". He was someone who really CARED about my wishes and WANTED to work with me! It is such a special feeling to feel that confident for such an important event. I knew from the beginning it would be perfect! I was not disappointed!

The wedding flowers were the most beautiful I have ever seen! I cannot tell you how happy I was the day of the wedding. I almost cried when I saw the bouquets. They were PERFECT! The flowers in the church were amazing and everything was incredible. I never saw Dan that day because he was so busy. I really wish I could have seen him in person to give him a hug and express how happy I was about everything. It was incredible!

When we got to the reception at the Sheraton, I was equally pleased. The centerpieces were gorgeous!! I can't tell you how many people commented to me on the flowers and how beautiful it was! Dan also brought the flowers to dress the wedding cake and it was amazing! I have never been happier - for so many reasons - but Dan definitely contributed to my happiness that day!

If I ever need anyone for an event again, Dan will be the person I will call! He does beautiful work. His prices are very reasonable. He is a good person in his heart and in his business. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone having an event or wedding!

Thank you for everything, Dan!! We loved it and are so happy with the decision we made to have you as our florist!! It could not have been any more beautiful! It was perfect!! We thank you for that and for everything!!

OH MY GOD!!! I can't thank Dan enough for the AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL flowers he brought to our wedding. It truly made our wedding feel so magical.

Let me just start by saying that Dan really knows what he's doing and he's incredibly reasonable.

We just got married on 4/18/09. My husband and I are both in our 30's and couldn't get a lot of financial help from our parents for our wedding. We had an okay budget but once you start to break things down, you realize it's not much for this or that, like all the little things that make it your own special day. I ended up making a lot of things on my own to save money. I just couldn't see myself doing that with the flowers.

I first went to Dan with my vision for our wedding. He knew exactly what I wanted and was able to show me ideas and arrangements that he has done in the past(he has a huge collection of pictures from all the events that he's done flowers for). He quoted me a price that I wasn't sure of. I went home and my husband and I talked about it. We couldn't justify the cost and I kept getting prices thrown at me about how much it would cost if I just did it myself.

One thing I know is that on the wedding day or even the day before, I couldn't see myself or anyone in my family, putting the flowers together. It just didn't make sense. I looked around and got a few other prices, but I really liked Dan and decided to go back to him. Important note: one of my non-wedding vendors referred me to Dan because she had used him a few times in the past and loved his work.

I sat down with Dan and explained our situation with the budget and he was so incredibly understanding. He worked with my budget and was still able to provide me with gorgeous flowers.

About Dan: he is just so incredibly genuine. He's a family guy and is so respectable. I actually had a few people tell me (after the wedding) that "your flower guy was soooo nice". I knew from the minute I met him that he cared about me being happy and having a beautiful wedding day. All the other florists I met with just made it feel like it's just another event, but he genuinely wanted to make it feel special for us. I told him what colors I wanted and he just knew what to do!

His website needs to be updated because it doesn't do him justice! He's a terrific person and an incredible florist. The man knows his flowers! I really can't say enough good things about him. I promise you that I didn't know him before our wedding but now I feel like I have a friend. I posted some pictures of our flowers in my account so you can see for yourself. BTW...his flowers were totally fresh and smelled amazing! The roses in my bouquet were so unbelievably fragrant!!! :)

Dan, if you read this...you're amazing! Thank you for making our wedding so beautiful. I had a lot of compliments about our flowers and that's because of you. Thank you...thank you...thank you!!!

Your friend,

Pauline

I cannot say enough good things about Flowers By Dan. I was blown away by the amount of dedication, love and artistry that Dan put into creating the romantic environment I had envisioned for my wedding day. From the beginning, he was enthusiastic about all my ideas and assured me that everything would be spectacular. And it was! In fact, I wanted several flowers for my bouquet that were not in season and Dan was able to make it happen. From the moment that I arrived at the hotel, I was blown away by how beautiful all the flowers were. The chuppah he designed was gorgeous! The table arrangements were stunning and my bouquet was beyond beautiful. Everything was exactly how I had envisioned it - even better!!!
He is a true professional and an artist. His work is truly amazing, his prices are very reasonable, his heart is in everything. What more could you ask for? There is really no reason not to work with him!
I highly recommend Flowers by Dan.

Dan is wonderful. He is very reliable (he called me to confirm a couple of days before the wedding instead of me having to call him!); does a fantastic job; and his flowers are very high quality and fresh! Some of the orchids in my bouquet where still alive and fresh looking when I returned from my honeymoon 10 days later; I took them out of the dried up bouquet and put them in water and they still look good 26 days later....amazing.

Thank you Dan! I would highly recommend him!

Dan,
From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU SO MUCH! We got married 9/5/2009 and the flowers for our wedding were amazing. I loved my bouquet of red Roses and the bouquet of Gerber Daisies for my maids of honor were lovely. They were all just so beautiful and they loved them. The church looked beautiful with all the flowers and it gave the church a warm feeling. The arrangements for our wedding reception were breath taking. Our guest loved them and those guests who won the centerpieces were extremely happy that they got to take them home. The centerpiece for the sweet heart table was amazing and it made me happy to give them to my aunt to take them to my cousins’ gravesite. Plus, the cake and the cake table looked just amazing. You made our wedding day special and having you as part of the vendors that we put together for our wedding made us feel that we had the dream team of vendors. Thank you for being apart of our dream team and making our wedding dream come true!
Karen and Chris Garlington

I got married about a month ago at Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank, CA. I am happy to say that my wedding was exceptional. I want to thank Dan so much for making this happen. The flower arrangements all turned out so beautiful, from the ceremony at "The Little White House" to my bridesmaids' bouquets and centerpieces. Every time I look at my wedding pictures, I am blown away by the beauty of the flowers. Dan was very understanding and knew exactly what I was looking for and what I wanted for my dream wedding. I highly recommend Dan. If I could, I would do this all over again and hire Dan once again :)

Thank You so much!!!

SIMPLY AMAZING!

I can't even put into words how amazing the flowers looked on the day of our wedding! We knew it was going to nice, but everyone was absolutely blown away! Our wedding flowers could easily cost us 4X times more anywhere else and not looked half as nice. Dan went WAY above and beyond for us and it's just not in his blood to do anything than perfect.

OUR STORY: Dan was recommended to us by our venue coordinator. First of all, Dan is probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. As we learned, he has been doing flowers for many years and after literally 1,000's of weddings his experience shows. He truly loves what he does and takes great pride in his work. Actually, before we met with Dan, my fiance and I had looked into other florists and had one already tentatively lined up. We just weren't at ease though. All the other florists either had little creativity or were too creative with their OWN ideas and wanted to take over everything.
We had lots of different design ideas, but we needed our florist to help us narrow them down and come up with a final design that reflected what we were looking for - and that's exactly what Dan did. We didn't find that with anybody else we met. Dan listed to our ideas and also showed us lots of his previous work for we were thinking of. He worked WITH us came up with a beautiful design for arrangements, centerpieces, corsages and, twinkle lighting. He told us what would and and would not work well and he always kept our budget in mind. He also put us at ease, and by end of our first meeting we trusted him completely 100%. We felt that he really understood what we wanted and we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Vendors will always say "don't worry, we'll take care it." Dan REALLY meant it! When we saw the arrangements we we're almost in tears! It was PERFECT!

Not only did everything look amazing, but Dan and his crew were also punctual, well organized, courteous and clean. Both our ceremony and reception coordinators were amazed as well and also commented on his professionalism. Dan will always be the first any only person we call for flowers. In our opinion (and about 220 of our guests) Dan is the ONLY florist you will ever need.
Just take a look at a few of the pictures. Words just can't do justice to his work. If you are reading this review and would like to ask for our reference or pictures feel free to contact us anytime.

THANKS DAN (and crew)!
- Michael and Hanh

When I first met Dan at our first appointment, I was very amazed with the passion he has for flowers, creativity and making your wedding day the most beautiful. I found Dan to be a very kind, honest, gentle and wonderful man. A person with which I would love to have a beer with. He's just so positive and happy.

The flowers for our ceremony looked simply MAGICAL. My bouquet, the centerpieces, the bridemaids' bouquets - EVERYTHING EVERYTHING was perfect. We received so many compliments and still do. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dan of Flowers by Dan for your wedding. You will be very happy.

My wedding was a few weeks ago and Dan arrange our flowers. All I can say is everything was PERFECT! I heard so many compliments on the flower arrangements from my guests.

As for Dan himself, you won't find a more friendly, easy-going, yet professional florist. Every time I had a question, he got back to me quickly with the answer. He really was a stress relief because I never had to worry when it came to the flowers.

I actually heard about Dan because he arranged the flowers for my sister's wedding 6 years ago. His flower arrangements were amazing then and his flower arrangements are amazing now.

Thanks, Dan, for giving me and Dave a beautiful wedding!

Dan is the man. When we went to meet with him, Dan always gave my wife flowers. Dan is patient and he listens to what you wants. His goal is to make it the happiest day of your life. He took our vision and turned it into a masterpiece. Dan pays attention to the tiny details and makes it work. We couldnt have asked for better looking flowers. If you want someone who will be dedicated, give you 120%, isn't pushy, and will listen, we suggest Dan. Dan has become our florist for life, he is awesome and we give him 6 stars. You are wonderful Dan, thank you for making our day special

We were so happy to find Flowers by Dan through the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel where our daughters' wedding took place on 11/3/07. From the moment we met Dan, we knew this was the right place and the right man for the job. The flowers were breathtaking, beyond what any of us expected. The rooms looked like the most beautiful autumn gardens anyone had ever seen. Dan personnally attended to every detail and we felt so completely at ease knowing he would make everything perfect. Not only did he do an amazing job on the wedding but we will use Dan for all our flower needs in the future. We also feel that we have made a wonderful new friend.

Dan did flowers at the church and at the reception at the Calamigos. We were so impressed with him !Dan was truly a professional. He gave suggestions, answered questions and was committed to making the wedding beautiful. He listened to what we wanted and I never felt he was trying to push costs as he asked for what the budget was and worked within that. Several guests and the priest remarked on how beautiful the flowers were and how much they added to the church and to the wedding parthy.

He was so easy to work with and I knew that I did not have to worry at all about the flowers since he was taken care of all of the details. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Flowers By Dan - STOP AND BOOK WITH DAN. He is amazing because he takes the time to listen and understand! The flowers at my daughter's' wedding were everything we imagined and more. He added such warmth and depth to the event. His joy and love for the work he does was reflected in each and every arrangement. We can't thank him enough.

He is caring, professional, and reasonably priced.

Our sincere gratitude, Lucille & Joe Shea

AMAZING is the least I can say about how wonderful Flowers by Dan was in making our wedding ceremony and reception absolutely gorgeous. Dan was wonderful to work with. He really listened to what we wanted and he delivered beyond our expectations. The gazebo and ceremony site was so perfect. The bouquets and corsages were exactly what we imagined. There are not enough words to describe how beautiful the centerpieces and cake were decorated. I highly recommend Flowers by Dan, he is a wonderful man and an amazing florist.
Thanks so much for making our wedding day exactly what we dreamed it would be!!

Mark and Cara Waterman

Dan is absolutely wonderful to work with. He creates beautiful flower arrangments and is very creative with his use of color. For my wedding he suggested using rasberry flowers to compliment the royal blue color of my wedding. The two colors really popped. It was beautiful. He used my favorite flower, the stargazer, and roses. Dan has great ideas and really helps create the perfect wedding. I HIGHLY reccommend Flowers By Dan!

Dan did a wonderful job for our wedding. The gazebo was gorgeous and the surrounding flowers were beautiful. The center pieces were more than I hoped and the colors were just lovely. My favorite was my bouquet. It was absolutely fabulous. The bridesmaids loved their bouquets as well. In all, go with Dan. He can help with any budget and is very accommodating. Thanks so much DAN!

David and Sheila Mcquown enthusiastically recommend Flowers By Dan! First of all, it was such a pleasure to meet Dan to discuss our needs concerning flowers for our wedding. We were so very impressed with the gorgeous arrangements from which to choose. We had to work within a budget, so Dan offered his wedding special package.
It was perfect. His personal touch meant so much to us.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. David McQuown

I can't believe how beautiful our wedding flowers turned out!! Dan completely did more than expected and I couldn't have been happier! From the first meeting, Dan was understanding, offered suggestions, had lots of pictures of his work to look through, and most of all he was affordable. For the price I paid, I got way more than I expected. The flowers were excellent quality and the color arrangements made the entire setting stand out. Dan gives extreme attention to detail and stays at your event as long as needed to make sure everything is perfect. He has been in this business a long time and knows what the bride it looking for, even when she doesn't know :) Thank you Dan, you are the best!!!

Dan, is by far, the best choice for a florist. From the very beginning, he was personable, caring, professional, and most importantly, easy to contact and promptly responded to all our inquiries. When we met with Dan and went over what we wanted for our wedding, he was amazingly helpful. His prices are extremely reasonable and you will certainly get much more than you would from any other florist. I felt completely confident that Dan would take care of our floral needs and I could, therefore, attend other wedding worries. When our wedding day finally arrived, Dan was not only early, but had EVERYTHING ready for our pictures. My bouquet was breathtaking, the arrangment for our arch was stunning, and people couldn't say enough wonderful things about the centerpieces. By the end of our reception, ALL of the centerpieces had "mysteriously" disappeared. I heard later on that guests were marking their centerpiece to take home early in the night. I could go on and on.

If you are planning a wedding and want beautiful flowers from someone who not only knows what he's doing, but really cares about how your wedding looks, you will not go wrong by having Dan complete all your floral needs. He is amazing.

I don't normally like to gush, since I feel that it sounds disingenuous, but my wife and I had to share our wonderful experience with Flowers by Dan. After meeting with Dan and seeing his past work, we decided to go with him for our flowers. That decision turned out to be one of the best ones we made for our wedding.

We met with him a few more times afterwards to iron out the details. Dan could see that we were busy with other minutiae, and he knew exactly how to take the burden of planning flowers off our shoulders. His eye for detail and flair were tempered by a knack for building creations that were elegant, yet not so flashy that they overshadowed everything else.

Dan is personable, friendly, and artistic, and his prices are more than reasonable for the quality of his arrangements and the amount of care and dedication that he brings to the table. When we need flowers again in the future, we will be sure to go with Flowers by Dan, and we have been (and will continue!) recommending Dan to our friends.

If you want your wedding to look more beautiful than you could ever imagine, we highly recommend Flowers By Dan!!

First of all my wife Jennifer loved the flowers...............So guess what? I do too! The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and was everything we expected it to be. The flowers were perfect. The arrangements on each table looked so great. Everybody commented on how beatiful the room looked. The roses were the right touch to the perfect picture. Also, Dan, we thank you so much for making our day everything thing we dreamt it could be. Thank you so so much for making sure every detail was set in place for us. We could not have been happier.

From the bottom of our hearts,

I had the most beautiful and gorgeous wedding because of Dan and his company. The flowers were extraordinary! He took time to get to know me and made me feel so comfortable and I knew that I could always call him for ANYTHING. His prices were reasonable and from the start I knew he cared so much about making my wedding perfect (and it was).

I have started looking at the pictures from our wedding and each time I see the Chupa, bouquets, centerpieces, ceremony details, I am just blown away at how unbelievably breathtaking all the flowers are. Dan is one of a kind and such a complete gem.

I would choose him for ALL upcoming events in my life.
Thank you Dan, you ROCK THE HOUSE!

Very Graciously,
Tiffany and Elliott Baumbach

You won't be disappointed with Flowers By Dan!!

From our first meeting, Dan was great. Dan Made everything so simple for us. He always returned our phone calls and addressed all of our concerns. My husband and I were married at the Sportsmen's Lodge on 12/27/2008. On the day of the wedding Dan was there early working hard creating a masterpiece that exceeded my expectations. He created a perfect winter wedding. He Knew exactly what he was doing. He coordinated with the staff at the Sportsmen's Lodge. Everything came out perfect. He had the the arbor full of flower and lights. Everything was so enchanting...both the outside and the inside. The centerpieces were so beautiful. He sprinkled rose petals around the lit up arrangements. Guests were anxious to take them home. His creativity is amazing. Dan made every table look stunning. Dan stayed after the ceremony and brought in the flowers that were above the arbor and brought them to the sweetheart table and set them up in such a magical way.

My bouquet was amazing. The corsages and boutonnieres were beautiful. He was even there to pin them on to each member of the wedding party.

Dan is the best. It is that simple. I Highly recommend Dan. No questions. He is reliable, honest, willing to work with your budget, professional, very experienced and was a pleasure to work with. What more could you ask for? Flowers By Dan is the perfect wedding vendor. I was lucky to work with him. He made my wedding dreams come true and exceeded my expectations.

My wedding was February 21, 2009. When I saw the flowers at the ceremony and the reception hall I cried. They were exactly as Dan and I discussed and I was overwhelmed with joy. My guests commented on many things, but the flowers stole the show. Dan is amazing at what he does. He is professional, prompt, and extremely detailed. Dan was able to work within our budget to provide us flowers that were beautiful and fragrant. I cannot thank him enough for helping to make my wedding day perfect.

You are the best,
Christina Kingsbury

Although my wedding was two years ago, I'm compelled to write a review because I've been recommending Dan ever since. He was, by far, the best vendor we had. Not only was he easy to work with, but he knew exactly how to translate my phone descriptions into beautiful arrangements. I was living in DC while planning for our L.A. wedding, and Dan was always available, approachable and not only listened by paid attention to all my requests. Our flowers were beautiful! Thank you Dan!

Flowers by Dan is nothing short of spectacular! He was generous with his time during our first meeting and throughout. He truly listened and created something that met(and exceeded) our vision. The flowers were gorgeous, fresh, fragrant, and set the tone for the entire event. People were truly awed when they entered the ceremony and saw the archway and gazebo overflowing with elegant and glorious flowers and greenery. Dan is a must hire! Thank you Dan, you made our wedding even better than we could have imagined.

I got married six years ago and I went to so many florist and I could not afford the outrageous amounts of money they had been asking for. I was refered to Dan by Sportmans Lodge in Studio City. I went on an appointment to visit Dan and I was amazed as he provided for me and my wedding the most spectacular arrangements I have ever seen. I had all the flowers and much more that I had asked for and the price was unbelievable. I had a very small budget and he made my dreams come true with his creative and giving ideas. I had beautiful bouquets on 10 tables that stood on a beautiful glass/mirror pedestal. I had an outside wedding and he decorated my gazebo with beautiful roses, and other lovely colorful flowers that gave the gazebo an amazing transformation of beauty. He decorated the chairs for the ceremony and quickly and efficiently removed the decorations from the Gazebo and placed them insdie the wedding reception. He catered to all of my wedding party and made certain that everyone was ready with all their flowers. I just don't have words to express the love, energy and care you put into making my wedding the most beautiful dream come true in colors and creativity. His compassion and love for what he does makes him the best florist I have ever met. I came to Dan without calling him about two weeks ago and Dear Dan was fixing the most beautiful arrangements for his mother who had just passed away. My mother was so touched by his strength in seeing him delivering from his heart the beauty of his creation in composing for his dear loved one arrangements that clearly represented his love towards his mother and giving to her what she so well deserved. Dan mentioned how he would always bring flowers to his dear mother and also brought many flowers to the elderly in the surrounding community. I know that we all work for many but, Dan is an exception to the rule he gives from his heart and will bend over backwards to help you have exactly what you want at the budget you can afford.

I commend him for his hard work and dedication and congratulate him for all he did for my husband and I. I look forward to seeing his expertise once again with my brothers wedding that will be in June.

I highly recommend Dan and his loving family to be your wedding planner and florist. He will make your dreams become reality and you will have the most beautiful wedding ever. If you have any questions you can always email me and I'd love to send you any pictures so that you can have as point of reference.

Thank you Dan

Our wedding was almost two and half years ago. (Time flies!) We were very lucky to find Dan to be our wedding floweriest. He is not only a professional floweriest but also a wonderful person to work with. He made me feel so comfortable and relax during my wedding plan. The MOST important was he gave me the confidence he could deliver what we wanted. Yes! He did! He went EXTRA miles to meet our expectations within our budget! We felt his passion and love through our wedding. Dan created a PERFECT wedding for us. It was my dream came true! THANK YOU SO MUCH DAN! You're the BEST! Now our son is almost 18 month old. It's a lot of work and joy :-)
~ Lily & Mike (wedding on January 27, 2007)

Dan is the best! He's meticulous, dependable, on time, and his flowers seem to last longer than any other florist. Besides all that, you'll really like the guy. I've recommended his services to many of our brides-and they love him as much as we do!

This gentleman went above and beyond for our bride in preparing the most beautiful bouquet at last minutes notice and providing fresh, beautiful roses completely in the fashion she was looking for. Another true professional!
