Beikmann Associates

Beikmann Associates has created ceremony and reception florals for many of the weddings I've planned. Brides have enjoyed working with Sheri because she's friendly, flexible and very responsive. She does a wonderful job helping brides to stay within budget and make floral choices that will be beautiful and reflect their personal style. Sheri does a great job with everything from beach-inspired florals to traditional designs. We have had nothing but rave reviews from our brides who have had Beikmann create florals for them!

In early November we visited this business to discuss their providing flowers for our wedding. During our visit, we really didn't know what we wanted so we were definitely brainstorming and exchanging ideas as a couple and with the florist quite a bit. From a personality perspective, I admit I can be direct...but when you are interviewing a vendor for a once in a life-time event...I would rather be direct and thorough than not. So after finishing out consultation we received a generic / nondescript proposal and was told a detailed proposal would be available after a deposit was made. The proposal was so lacking that it made us uncomfortable to move forward because it wasn't clear what we were getting for our money. Here comes the good part...after 2 email exchanges sent to her by myself and my fiance (both professional and to the point) the owner of the business sends me an email that was obviously meant to be sent to a co-worker. The email detailed how difficult she perceived we are, and how she thinks she doesn't want our business because she will be too jet lagged from vacation. She further went on to inquire, "How should I deal with this email trouble?" Really? Being asked specific questions regarding a large investment and once in a life-time event? Being held accountable to represent your business by providing detail is bad /troublesome? Really? So simply put...if you are looking for a vendor who will serve your needs and respects the fact that this is your special day I would highly suggest looking elsewhere. A vendor should be happy to provide their services with as much detail as requested by the client to help them feel comfortable with such a large purchase.
