Mangel Florist created a stunning arrangement for my fianc to propose when we were staying at the Drake. And when we left two days later, they wrapped them up for me to take on the train from Chicago to Champaign. Even after being out of the vase for more than 12 hours, the roses are still stunning. #bestflorist #best roses. To the whole team at Mangelthank you for making our engagement extra special!!! Happy Holidays. Alyssa & Chris

We had a tragic event occur a few years back at the intersection of Michigan and Oak , downtown Chicago. We place flowers there in memory of our lost son. This year , due to medical reasons we were forced to pass the baton to Mangel Florist. The whole organization of Mangel Florist, especially Sue O'Rourke were very professional , acceptable and foremost caring on our special requests. They provided photos of the placement of flowers,and banner. This made the horror of the situation less of a nightmare.

Absolutely stunning arrangement. The shop owner went above and beyond to get the flowers delivered the same day even after I had to request a last minute delivery location change.

Received a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Loved the variety of flowers. I live in a high rise and the delivery person knew to call after the drop off otherwise I may not have been notified.

Jeffrey is so responsible and nice! He is a great flower designer with aesthetics! And don't know how to describe the feeling when I saw the flower, it is beyond my expectations! The flower is soooo fresh! Every one asked me about where I get it
