These reviews on this site are not an accurate representation. Please check the reviews on yelp and do not get scammed by Julie. Those are the true and accurate reviews Julie seemed to truly care about her work and delivering a beautiful memory. But it turned out to be one of the worst experiences with a vendor. The mood board she contracted with me was completely different from what she actually set up on the day of my daughters wedding. I feel betrayed and robbed of what was suppose to be the most beautiful event ever thrown for my only daughter. I’ll start with the table seating. I was supposed to get a champagne wall instead I got a 3 shelf unit. the labels she printed guest names on were in tiny font, and it was hard to read them. Also, they were stained with watermarks on them.
The centerpieces were supposed to be tall glass cylinders, the tallest 22 inches, followed by 19 inches and the smallest 17 inches, a 3-tier format. The ones placed on the table were much smaller, like 9,7,5 inches. Which really made the whole reception look bare. It was so heartbreaking. But the most painful disappointment was the arch. julie set up a flimsy arch that was falling apart; The arch was slight, unlike the picture on my mood board. Myselve, and my wedding planner tried reaching Julie bc we couldn’t find the bouquets, flower girl petals or boutonnières she wouldn’t respond. We couldn’t take photos on time bc we couldn’t find the flowers. the arch was to be transferred after the ceremony to the sweetheart table. It was not transferred, and my daughter had a Barenaked sweetheart table. It was so incredibly heartbreaking. All the floral bouquets for the bridal party were falling apart; the hydrangeas looked dead on arrival, and the Grossman boutonnières were also. The flowers were left in the ballroom Julie didn’t tell anyone where to find them. We couldn’t find her anywhere. We finally realized after several phone calls and texts, that she just dumped him on the table and left and didn’t tell anyone where to find them so the timeline for our photos were late, which causes a domino effect for the rest of the timeline. Julie was nowhere to be found. The sweetheart table was completely bare no flowers at all. I’m still in tears when I see these photos. Julie also said her and her team will come at the end of the night to break down and retrieve all the centerpieces etc. we never saw her she dumped everything never responded to our calls till this day three days later she still hasn’t responded to any of my text or phone calls. I truly didn’t want to leave a bad review. I’ve sent so many texts and voicemails, begging and pleading with her to just please help me understand what happened and the only conclusion I can come up with by her, staying silent, and ignoring, is that she planned all along to just take my money and dump everything.

Julie and her team went above and beyond! I gave Julie complete control of all decor for my welcoming party the night before, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception tablescapes. I had a vision of a champagne wall with drink coins and she made it happen! The arch for our ceremony was one of a kind and everyone loved it! My bouquet was unique and perfect. I wanted a romantic tropical vibe with muted colors and that’s exactly what she did. We talked for months prior on details and ideas and Julie was always quick with a response. I appreciated her honesty about prices and she was always respectful about our budget. Everything turned out amazing and I highly recommend! More...

This florist was everything I needed & wanted! They made my dream wedding vision come to life. The first day of contacting Julie, we were on the phone for over an hour discussing what my vision was & sending pictures back and forth of what was achievable. She went above and beyond to get EXACTLY what I wanted. Her communication was a 10/10 and even if I texted late at night because something was on my mind, within minutes I received an answer. Everyone was blown away on my wedding day by how amazing my flowers turned out. I can't say enough good things about Paradise Petals. I'll be using them again for our future events. More...

They gave me exactly what I was looking for in my wedding ceremony and event space! I gave Julie a series of photos to mix and match pieces from, and it’s like she read my mind and put everything together the way I wanted, but somehow it came out better than I had expected!

Julie was always available and approachable, whether I had questions about my decor options at 10 pm at night or when I had a problem with another vendor and needed recommendations for a replacement. She always made me feel comfortable with talking to her and I felt like I had known her for years by the time my wedding day came around. More...

Worked with Events By Paradise for my mother’s 65th birthday. Julie was awesome. Happy with communication, respect, customer service and quality.
