    Marlene is amazing

    My vendor recommended Marlene and her shop. Wonderful family owned. Came in on a very tight budget and she took so much time to work with me. My bridal bouquet was stunning. I would recommend this shop for any and all events.

    The absolute best!!!

    Steve was so wonderful to work with! We were blown away by the florals. Steve truly took our vision and elevated it way beyond my expectations. He was so helpful, creative and accommodating. Steve worked with us to be able to get my exact vision while staying within or even under our budget. We absolutely loved the way our wedding flowers came out and received so many compliments! I highly recommend Especially for You!

    Best florist in the universe!!!!!!

    Don’t even think about going anywhere else for flowers. Steve did such an amazing job on my wedding flowers. From my bouquet and my bridal parties bouquets to the custom pocket squares and centerpieces and my custom crown that I got a thousand compliments on, it was 1000000% exactly what I wanted from the start. It was like especially for you tapped into my brain and plucked out my thoughts. I honestly could not be happier with the service they provided or the flowers themselves. They are all so warm and welcoming I feel like I have friends for life. I will never use another florist. I cannot wait until I have another reason to get some flowers from them!!!

    Highly recommend to all!

    Steve and his team were wonderful from start to finish of our planning journey!!!! My brother used EFY for his wedding and they did a wonderful job, but I was even more impressed when I had the opportunity to work with them myself for my own wedding. Steve was helpful, consultative, and not in the slightest bit pushy. He really listened to what we were wanting and worked with us to create something beautiful within the confines of our budget. His suggestions were extremely helpful and we decided to take all of his advice and recommendations! I should also note that especially for what we received I feel EFY provides SO much value for their offering with no compromise to quality. In particular I was blown away by the swags they created for my ceremony arch and the garlands for my sweetheart and guest tables. They were very full and beautiful. We also had flowers added to our cake and it was so full and beautifully done and didn't break the bank. It truly made a huge difference! Steve also helped our vision come to life by suggesting bows for our aisle to spruce it up as a low cost option that really made a huge difference! Steve was always very honest with what flowers worked best at a particular time of the year and wasn't afraid to share alternatives with difference prices to help our budget extend further. EFY was punctual and helped in setting up our florals including our tables with garlands and candles exactly as we instructed them with no issues. EFY is trusted by my entire family and has now become our designated family florist!

    Excellent customer service, gorgeous flowers!

    I used EFY for my wedding and had a fantastic experience. Marlene was lovely to work with! She did not try to oversell floral items I did not need and the price quote was very fair. Most importantly, my flowers were exactly what I had envisioned. SO BEAUTIFUL!

    Wonderful!

    Steve was an absolute joy to work with! He listened to my ideas and knew exactly what I wanted. The day of my wedding I was completely elated when I saw the arrangements from all the bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony flowers. He also did a beautiful job on my bouquet with arranging the memory pictures of my loved ones who had passed. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

    Incredible! The family took great care of us.

    What a magnificent time we had working with the Especially For You family and team. Truly, they exceeded our expectations and were so supportive. It’s not every day you choose a vendor and are blown away. This happened here and I’ll forever be grateful. The Bouquets, boutonnieres, and Table arrangements were stunning! Thank you for everything.

    Simply amazing!!

    I cannot say thank you enough to Especially For You Florist and Gift Shop for creating and providing me with the most beautiful wedding flowers. Marlene and her expert team are truly incredible! I always enjoyed meeting with Marlene and discussing and creating my vision for our wedding. She made me feel like family! I knew I wanted my bridal flowers to pop and provide vibrant color in our color scheme. Marlene and her team exceeded my expectations! EFY added personal touches that took the flowers to the next level by creating cascades, adding custom colors, and using the lace from my dress in my bouquet. The bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and centerpieces / wedding decor flowers were all delivered timely and professionally and set up happened seamlessly. If you want to work with the best and get the best in your wedding day flowers, you need to book with Especially For You Florist and Gift Shop.

    Amazing flowers and customer service

    I could not be more happy with how my wedding flowers turned out! Honestly, it was the easiest most convenient experience of the whole wedding process. She was so helpful in helping me to find and get exactly the look i was going for within my budget. All of the other places i went to tried to pressure me into doing the extravagant expensive options and showed me things way out of my budget. Here, i was able to explain to her what I wanted and she helped me attain it while staying at a reasonable price point. I highly recommend Especially For You Florist! I couldn't have been happier with the outcome :)

    Fantastic Wedding Florist!

    Especially for You Florist in Freehold, NJ put together the most beautiful flowers for my wedding day! My bridal bouquet and bridesmaid's bouquet were more beautiful than I could have imagined. The floral arrangements at our wedding venue were the cherry on top! Marlene was so great to work with and met with me and person several times to make sure we had all of the details right. The day of the wedding they delivered all of the flowers on time to my house, the church, and the venue, and set everything up perfectly! Marlene even dropped by in person to Congratulate me on my special day!!

    Quintana/Shapiro wedding

    Myself, my bridal party, & every woman at the wedding could not stop raving about the beauty of the bridal party bouquets, especially my bridal bouquet. They all said it was beautiful, & I agree with all of them. My expectations were exceeded with how well they all came together.

    Look no further for your florist, EFY is it!!

    I can not say enough good things about working with Steve at EFY Florist! I had my initial meeting a year prior to our wedding. However, by the time our big day got closer my vision changes and without hesitation we were able to make multiple adjustments to our original plan. Steve helped make my vision of romantic, green & white floral come alive. He did this all while staying under our budget! That’s what we loved most about working with Steve, he worked with us every step of the way, only trying to help us save money, not spend more then we needed. We had a unique situation because we were getting married in the same room our reception would be in. We had a floral arch set up for the ceremony and needed it move it for our reception. Steve was able to come back later in the evening to set up our sweetheart table after the ceremony!!

    Great florist perfect for your wedding

    I couldn’t recommend Especially for You more for your wedding! Both Marlene and Steve were super helpful with helping me create my vision of floral arrangements for my wedding day. Also even after our meeting I wanted to add some pieces to my venue and they were very accommodating to add the beautiful arrangements! I wish I had more pictures of the beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and flowers on the railings of my wedding venue but I do highly recommend Especially for you and I will definitely use them again!

    Absolutely loved everything about working with EFY for our Wedding!

    Marlene was an absolute pleasure to work with! EFY made our Wedding flower visions come to life and it’s clear that Marlene has such a passion for what she does. EFY had created quite a few arrangements for us for church and our venue (mixture of both high and low), bridesmaid and flower girl bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flowers for the Blessed Mother and above all, created the most unbelievable bridal bouquet I have ever seen. The quality and color of the flowers were stunning and Marlene even incorporated rosary beads I had provided in the bouquet and tuned out incredibly beautiful. Marlene was so kind and patient and extremely understanding even when we had to push back our original wedding date. Delivery of the flowers to my house, church & venue were extremely timely as well. We also used EFY for our rehearsal dinner & for my bridal shower and were also extremely satisfied. We cannot recommend EFY enough – thank you to all!!

    Amazing Experience!

    I did not have to worry about a single things when it came to the flowers and my centerpieces on my wedding day. They made everything go so smoothly and it looked incredible. I am not one who knows much about flowers, but they picked the perfect flower for the groomsmen boutonniere and made both our church and reception look perfect!

    The Best Florist

    Steve and Especially for You were amazing to work with. All of our flowers were so beautiful. In our first consultation he took detailed notes about what we did and didn't want. I trusted his judgement on what flowers would be best, and that was the best call. Not to mention the fact that the flowers lasted in a vase for almost a month after the wedding. He delivered on time and was flexible to add greens for our centerpieces we didn’t think we needed until a few days before. He even was able to point me in the right direction of something I thought I wanted for my centerpieces based on a picture. This florist is a definite must use!

    Absolutely GORGEOUS flowers!!

    My husband and I got married a few weeks ago and we had the privilege of working with Especially For You with Steve as our florist. From the very start Steve was responsive, kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. He truly listened to the vision that I had for my wedding, and he made it into something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!! I nearly cried when I saw my bouquet. I had a very colorful fall scheme and Steve was so enthusiastic about my colors. He worked so hard to put each color together to look absolutely stunning. My wedding guests were in awe of how beautiful the flowers were! We had 21 tables and Steve made every centerpiece absolutely perfect as well as ceremony decor, welcome sign florals, place card table arrangements, bouquets and corsages. His prices are extremely reasonable and he was open to working with me to meet my budget. My wedding truly would not have been the same without Steve and Especially For You. If you are looking for a florist, do yourself a favor and meet with Steve or anyone else at EFY for your wedding!!!
