Spina

Paul and his team did an exceptional job on all of the decor for my wedding! From our first meeting through the execution of the wedding, Paul provided innovative ideas and was always available for questions. The flowers, chuppah and sprigs of rosemary completely kept in line with the "beach chic" aesthetic my husband and I strived to create. Everything was picture perfect!!

Paul was wonderful to work with! He listened to what I wanted for the wedding and then had really great ideas about how to execute it. He made the whole process so simple and easy. And I LOVE how it turned out! I definitely recommend Paul if you want someone who knows what they are doing and is easy to work with.

Hiring Paul was one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning. He came well recommended by both our venue and by two good friends who had used him for their weddings. Not only was he a pleasure to work with and very responsive in answering all my questions, but he was full of incredible ideas. I’m admittedly awful at anything design related but he listened to all my visions then provided detailed suggestions to make décor of the evening something that would wow all our guests. He flawlessly combined the garden romance and chic elegance I desired with a modern twist that fit my husband’s taste and suited our venue. When we walked into the venue and saw his team’s final work we were beyond impressed – no detail was overlooked and he had surpassed all of our expectations. Paul strives for perfection and he delivers – we highly recommend him!

Excellent Customer Service, Paul and Vanessa were delightful to work with and made my Wedding Day beautiful!!!

Paul was amazing! He listened to everything that I said and used his vision to actualize it all. He was able to work within our budget and a very short timeline. I would highly recommend him to any and everyone. On top of the great flowers he is also just a pleasure to sit and have a conversation with. Book him!

We are so happy with the work Paul Diaz did for our ceremony and reception. What set him apart from other florists is he knew the venue and worked with my budget. Paul even was in contact with the catering manager to discuss any concerns he had on the venue. He was very into minimum decor and didn't try to sell us into spending more on anything he thought was not necessary. Our ceremony room looked like a scene from a movie and all our guests were very impressed.
Paul was easy to work with and my mother and I strongly recommend him to any one getting married in the New York area.

Everything was exquisite. We got a lot of compliments about the arrangements. When my husband and I first met Paul (we were referred), he remembered the details of the referral, knew our venue, listened, had great ideas, promptly responded to our requests for changes, and handled our last-minute requests perfectly.

Had my bridal shower at Spina and it was amazing. The chef Tony did a great job on the food! Even tho our party was a small group Paul went beyond expectation and made everything Perfect!
We also used them for our wedding planning and flowers. They listen to our every needs and worked within our budget. Very professional!!!! They made my wedding so elegant and perfect, I felt like a princess on my special day!! Thank you guys!! Would highly recommend to others.

Spina was excellent. They went above and beyond what was expected of them. I am not an expert on flowers at all, but my fiance and I went over our theme went them. (i.e. decor, wedding favors, & wedding cake) Then followed their suggestions for the flower arrangement and colors, and it was absolutely beautiful. Everybody loved the flowers and the presentation. I will definitely do business with them for anything I need in the future.

WE LOVE PAUL AND VANESSA AND MIKO (sorry puppy if we spelled your name wrong!)

We had our wedding on June 10th, 2012 at Tribeca Rooftop. We don't have a huge budget, but both of us really wanted to have our wedding in the city - where we met and spent the past years in. Before we started planning the wedding, we didn't know the florist was the one responsible for decorating and designing the venue to make it special and personal to us. The more we researched and reached out to florists, the more daunting the search became. One of the places actually told us that the price would be around $300 per person! $300 per person for flowers? Are our guests eating the flowers? By the time we reached out to SPINA, we were pretty discouraged, and I began to think of doing the flowers ourselves - thank GOD we didn't!

After our first meeting with Paul and Vanessa, we knew we've found the right people. We had a very limited budget after spending most of it on the venue - and our main concern going into the meeting was whether they'd be able to understand our vision without requiring us to spend an extravagant amount of money. Paul was more than understanding when listening to our ideas and concerns, and he was so creative and patient in helping us carry out what we had in mind for as little as possible. He made suggestions to help us save money, which was so refreshing after talking to vendors who seemed to be out there to take whatever you are willing to spend. The best part of working with SPINA is the people - Paul and Vanessa are so personable and warm that we didn't feel pushed at all in any way - and they are also firm in their standards of beauty and quality that they will always tell you when something wouldn't work or look good.... and when it's worth it to spend the money.

On the day of the wedding, it was such a calming and happy feeling to see their familiar faces. The tables, flowers, and everything else were so beautiful. We wanted a simple and relaxed look - since our wedding was very casual - and that's what we got, with a touch of SPINA flair. I'd definitely recommend working with SPINA - whatever your budget is - and just be sure to communicate your ideas and be open-minded!

Paul was absolutely wonderful with the flowers and décor at our wedding. The best part was he was willing to work on our budget and still make it a classy affair. He’s very knowledgeable of what will and won’t work on your budget and can give alternatives. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding. Thank you!!!

Paul was recommended by our venue (Tribeca Rooftop) and he really set the tone for our wedding. He helped me choose my colors and even recommended colors for bridesmaid dresses ! He helped make our wedding looking modern and different by getting square tables and adding color linens. The flower arrangements that he suggested were great but it wasn't until I walked in that I realized how talented he was. Paul understood my vision and made it real! The flower arrangements were beautiful!!! Paul was fantastic and I would recommend him for any event - big or small he truly adds a flare of creativity to make your event unique.

I cant even begin to describe how Paul helped to keep me sane during my wedding planning process. He is professional, creative and always flexible enough to make everything work around my ever changing mind and budget. He was able to find me a venue, a photographer and a band with less than six months before the wedding. When you are planning for the biggest and most important event of your life, you definitely need someone who will keep your mind clear, and have feasible and affordable options that will make your wishes come true. His attention to all the little details made our wedding day even more special. Even to this day, i still get lots of compliments on the centerpieces he arranged for my wedding.

Our flowers at the ceremony were stunning. The receptions flowers were beautiful and grand. I left everything to Paul's creativity and he delivered. My colors were fuchsia and he picked out the most prettiest arrays of blooms for our bouquets and boutonnieres. Paul and his team were very punctual and professional. You can expect the best from this team. They add a splash of beauty throughout our day and night. I just love them!
