Susie, Dan and I want to thank you for arranging such beautiful centerpieces for our wedding on August 26. The roses and stock in lavenders and pale pinks were just lovely. The tablecloths were a darker pink and the tables were beautiful. We had a wonderful wedding day and everyone had a good time. Some of our guests took home the centerpieces and we took the larger arrangement to the cabin in Felton where we stayed for our honeymoon.

To the staff and management of San Mateo Florist,
I would just like to say thank you and let someone of authority know at that Susie ROCKS!  My mother-in-law, who is usually quite reserved, was overjoyed and beside herself with glee and awe when she received her beautiful orchid plant and she loved the ceramic planter as well.  My mother and father-in-law are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary and they are both huge lovers of the orchid and they have many in there beautiful penthouse in Oakland.  This is a lovely addition to their collection and I want to especially thank Susie for all her care in taking my order and ensuring that everything was just perfect for my in-laws.  Susie -- they loved it!  You're the best...smiles!  I had a particularly rough day yesterday, and when I got home about 7:30 pm and my mother-in-law called sounding happy as a school girl (mind you, she's in her late 60's), well, that was it -- IT MADE MY DAY! 
I have been using San Mateo Florist for years for business and personal floral needs, and it is the beautiful flower arrangements and excellence in customer service that keeps me coming back for more...I will never ever use another floral service -- and will continue to refer all my friends and family to your business.  Why settle for less, when you can have the best!
With respect and tremendous appreciation,
Joy

Dear Edik and San Mateo Florist,
Thank you all so, so much for the absolutely beautiful job you did on the flowers for our wedding.  I was amazed by how somehow you managed to put together the perfect bouquet for me with so little instruction from me!  You knew what I wanted even when I didn’t. 
Thanks so much,  Alyssa
