I went to floral expressions by Ron based on several recommendations by friends and family of the gorgeous work that he does. I am getting married in October 2008 and went to his business in December 2007 to get a taste for his work and then was planning my making a decision shortly after that. \r

Immediately when I walked in I felt like I was not the customer but the person that should be impressing them. I did not see or talk to Ron but to a women who worked in the store. The first thing she said to me after she heard that a wedding florist is what I was looking into was, ""When is your wedding?"". After I told her the date she laughed and said that there is not way he is open that date. There were several times she stated that Ron books up years in advance but she would be nice enough to check his calendar anyway. After seeing that indeed he was available she rather harshly stated that I needed to make an appointment to meet with Ron immediately and would most definitely have to decide if I wanted to go with him on the spot, because people just don't say ""No"" to Ron. \r

After my mom and I pondered if A) this was actually happening and B) if we wanted to go with someone who put so much pressure on us, we felt even more pressure to make a decision immediately. We quickly decided that this was not the kind of people we wanted to work with to make my wedding day great, so we left.
Pros: apparently does beautiful, creative work
Cons: service team
