Needed a specialty item that they didn't have in stock. They offered to order it and picked it up 2 days later.

We were in town for the birth of our grandchild. Initially we stopped at PW grocery and were dismayed by their limited selection. Then we searched florists and found Erschen's was close by. We were greeted immediately and they were very helpful in creating an arrangement on the spot. Very happy with the service received - and our daughter-in-law loved the arrangement. Highly recommend.

Got all of my flowers done for my wedding. Asked for lots of sparkling additions I got none. The mens flowers fell apart when taking them out of the containers my entire bouquet fell apart halfway through photos (about 30 min into the day) my daughters flower crown fell apart immediately and when we called they didnt bother to fix or help nor did they care at all. Will never return after spending hundreds just for everything to fall apart and not be what we asked for in the first place

Vased and tied with a bow, our 50th Anniversary flowers were over the top. Bright and happy colors in a free flowing arrangement made one think the flowers were freshly picked from a fancy garden. We're enjoying them for many memorable days. A phone call made sure we were home upon delivery as the summer heat and touchless delivery was accommodated. Recommended with confidence!

Lori at Erschen's florist did all of my flowers for my wedding. We decided to go with silk flowers but everyone agreed they looked real and my bridesmaids were caught off guard when given their bouquets and first realized they were not in fact real flowers. The creativity, kindness, patience, and timeliness if Erschens florist will not disappoint you. Highly recommend.
