The Absolute Best. We highly, highly recommend X-Quisite Flowers and Events, especially Diane Amante. She did such a spectacular job decorating for our wedding over the July 4th weekend it is hard to describe how happy we are. Diane was pleasant to deal with from the moment we sat down with her, and her decorating ideas were the best. We used X-Quisite for all of our floral arrangements plus chair covers, linen and some lighting. It was everything you could hope for when the people entered the room and just kept saying WOW. Not once, not twice - because this was at least a three wow room with everything she did. Diane took what would have been an ordinary ballroom and turned it into something out of a wedding wish book. Sophisticated, elegant, beautiful, innovative all come to mind when describing her work. Something simple like using fresh ivy as the napkin holders was all her idea and added touches no one had seen before. Most of all, the centerpieces were amazing!!! It was a very hot weekend but all the flowers (roses, hydrangea, bells of Ireland) were so fresh you would swear she picked them minutes before the wedding. The work done on the wedding cake was just one more wow for us - glad she got some photos! Plus they were prompt, showing up as scheduled to deliver the bouquets for the girls and boutonnieres for the guys - and didn’t just drop them off and run, they patiently helped the guys get them on their tuxes without any damage, little things can make a difference on a hectic day. When we got to the church the flowers were so fantastic, even the priest commented about how fresh they were, and everything was better than we dreamed it could be. They really did everything possible to make it an incredible, special evening and we can’t say enough good things. Thanks Diane, it really was exquisite!

X-Quisite Flowers truly lives up to its name. Without any hesitation, we would recommend X-Quisite Flowers and Events for any event. We worked with Diane Amante, who immediately felt like family. Not only did she do an incredible job decorating for our wedding, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Diane was so an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start she understood our budgeting needs and was willing to accommodate us. Yet, Dianes artistic talent was not at all hindered by meeting certain cost requirements. All of our floral arrangements were lush and bountiful. Our floral arrangements consisted of hydrangeas, roses, eucalytpus, all intricately woven together with branches. The flowers seamlessly wove into the room and helped to create the romantic ambiance we sought for our affair. The overall effect was breathtaking. It was our fairytale brought to life. Not to mention, days before the wedding Diane came to our rescue and helped us with a major hiccup at location of our venue. Because of Dianes expertise, we were able to cicrumvent what couldve been a major eyesore at the entrance of the venue for our wedding. Diane was not compensated for this work. She made the recommendations from the kindness of her heart. This is how Diane does things. The day of the wedding she showed up early with the bouquets and boutonniers for the men. When we were short a bouquet for the flower girl, Diane made a mad dash to get one done in time for the ceremony. These are just a few of the instances that made working with Diane extremely special. She went above and beyond all of our expectations. Diane, we want to thank you for bringing our visions to life and for helping to create the most magical evening of our lives.

I’m not even sure where to start, but let me start by saying that Diane Amante and the whole X-Quisite team in simply AMAZING. From start to finish, they made our daughters Bat Mitzvah a party that will be talked about for years to come. From the first meeting, you could tell that these people were something special. The attention to detail and the research they did prior to us even coming in was nothing short of astounding. As the owners of a service company, this really hit home with us. Throughout the entire process, Diane and her team kept us in the loop, making changes on a dime, and executing with laser precision. The end result was a masterpiece of creative genius that left our daughter, guests and ourselves reeling. From the centerpieces, to the customized pillows, everything was absolutely perfect. Diane and her team go the extra mile. They even coordinated with our DJ and lighting people to ensure that the lighting was perfect and met the “X-Quisite” standard! I am not one to write reviews, but if you are looking for a planner and designer for ANY event you might be planning, big or small, look no further than X-Quisite! I promise you will not be disappointed! Eric, Lori, Sean and Hunter Sheikowitz

I work in the corporate meetings and event industry and so finding a partner to help plan my wedding was very challenging as I had extremely high expectations and specific ideas I wanted to see brought to life. I met with about 5 florist i...n the new york area and I immediately knew that Diane was the perfect match for me. She has a ton of resources and always has the most cutting edge and latest items(and will suggest to you which ones she thinks will work well for your event). She was able to listen to my vision and understand what pieces were important to me and execute on it to make it even better then I could have dreamed of. She clearly listened to me and understood what elements were important to me and didn’t try to push me away from them or let other peoples opinions undue what I wanted. My wedding was the most perfect and beautiful event I have ever seen and I have seen a ton over the years. I have gotten endless calls and emails telling me how amazing the tables looked, how gorgeous the flowers were and how seamless the whole day looked. Diane is more then a florist she was an integral part of making my wedding a success. We wouldn’t do any event in the future without her!

This past Saturday I had the honor of working with Richie for my wedding. Given my engagement was a longer one, I began working with Richie about 10 months ago. From the beginning, his creativity and attention to detail was obvious. Although I had a vision, Richie transformed it into something I could have never dreamt of. When we came to view samples of the center pieces, I will never forget how Richie set up the showroom to give me the full affect - lights were off, candles were lit, pin spots were on. Walking into this made me cry. This was only the beginning of Richies professionalism. On the day of my event, not only did Richie and his team work tirelessly on making sure all the flowers, lighting, tables were setup properly, but Ill never forget how he was fixing all the groomsmens bow-ties as we lined up to walk down the aisle. Richie is one of a kind to work with and it is because of him and the xquisite team that my wedding was truly phenomenal and one for the books. It was gorgeous, elegant, whimsical, and romantic - exactly what I had described one day 1 when we met. Richie and xquisite, thank you for giving me more than I could have ever dreamt of.
