Review №1

Working with Excellent Designs was an absolute pleasure. We were completely blown away with our flowers for our wedding. We shopped around about 6 different florists but after speaking with Ali, we knew we had found the right one. Many of the florists we sat with didnt ask the questions that Ali did and didnt seem to care about our style and were quick to quote us an outrageous price. His knowledge of the different flowers (especially the ones that are in season) was crucial in capturing the look we wanted and he was able to stay within our budget within reason. Communicating was always effortless and they were able to accomodate a couple last minute changes with no issues. When we showed up on the day-of the wedding, we were in complete awe at all the flowers and so many people came up to us and complimented us on the style and sheer number of flowers everywhere. We couldnt have been happier working with Excellent Designs and I look forward to the opportunity of recommending them to someone else! Thank you for helping make our wedding magical!

We used Excellent Designs for the flowers for our wedding and they were more than we couldve hoped for from a florist! Ali is amazing at customer service! He was quick to respond to emails and thorough in his answers to questions my husband and I had. He and his wife, who creates the floral arrangements, are professional and run a great business as a team. We felt so well taken care of and Ali took the time to personally sit down with us to discuss our vision and make it all happen within our budget. The flowers were beautiful and the highest quality. The man who delivered them on the day of our wedding was very kind and helpful as well. We were thrilled with everything and would definitely recommend Excellent Designs!

I would recommend Ali and his team 10 times over! Ali and his team did my arch for the gazebo, bridesmaid bouquets, bridal bouquet, boutenierres, corsages, center pieces, petals and baskets for the flower girls, and sweetheart table arrangement. First of all, I have never met a business owner who worked so kindly with me on the budget. Ali made so many tweaks for me and had so many money-saving ideas so that I could get exactly what I wanted, with what I had. Ali then arranged with my mom to pick up ribbon from her at the flower market. When we figured out I had picked bright white instead of ivory, mom and Ali arranged to switch out ribbon. Ali and his wife emailed me clarifying a few flowers we had talked about because they were unsure if what I wanted would make my bridal bouquet stand out from the others. Ali and the team worked with me on what I wanted for the gazebo and sweetheart table arrangements and transfer. Most importantly and special to me though, was what my dad described to me after the wedding. He arrived early to the wedding and sat in the guest chairs in front of the gazebo. Ali and the team showed up, bulk flowers and wire in hand, with the photo that I had provided to Ali. He showed it to the team, pointed to the gazebo and explained, and the team got to work. Ali came back later, took out the photo, pointed, and the team rearranged the arch display. This happened a few more times until every hand-crafted piece was perfectly splayed from the arch. It turned out PERFECTLY, exactly as I had always imagined and exactly like the photo I gave to Ali. I really could not believe it and am so grateful to them for making me feel so taken care of, from start to finish, and doing an absolutely KILLER job.

Ali was great at helping and meeting our vision of what we wanted. Very professional and good quality of flowers. Ali was very willing to meet anytime and was very open to our schedule. We had very good communication and open for any changes. Ali and his team were punctual and great the day off the wedding. We did not have to worry at all. Everything was on schedule, clean, and set up exactly as we envisioned. We had visited multiple other flower shops and Ali exceeded what we were looking for and had the best prices.

Ali did the most wonderful job for us!! The flowers were BEAUTIFUL!! I was thrilled with his creativity. My husband and I are so pleased with how patiently he worked with us long distance (we live on the East Coast). By the time we arrived in town -- 2 days before our event -- Ali had improved upon my vision and was waiting for my final approval, which I happily gave. Excellent Designs was professional, creative and fairly priced. Recommend them highly!!

Ali was very personal and accommodating. Initially, we were located in the same area of which we were getting married, however, we unexpectedly moved to Houston, TX shortly after meeting him. Even while in a whole different state, Alis quality of service was the same. He was very responsive to our emails and phone calls and answered our questions promptly. The services provided on our wedding EXCEEDED our expectations. We didnt have to worry about anything. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking to plan their dream wedding!!!!!!!

Excellent Designs was such a great company to use for our wedding! We rented over 250 chairs and a white riser cover.

I would highly recommend!

Ali of Excellent Designs took great care of my daughter and I, and walked us through everything. He made the day so special that even the staff at the venue asked us who did the flowers and other stuff as our wedding was one of the best they had seen at the venue (which the venue has as a ton of weddings). Alis staff pull everything off in a very short time for set up (per our venues restrictions), yet they made it look effortless. Thank you so much Ali and your staff for an amazing day!!!! I would highly recommend Excellent Designs !!!

Excellent designs is an amazing company. Ali is such a professional and talented individual. He made sure to accommodate anything I requested or preferred and made me feel confident in every decision we made. He has BEAUTIFUL equipment/decor which made it difficult to choose but he really guided us through each decision. Now for the actual decorations he and his wife did for my engagement party, I was truly shocked. I have never seen such a beautiful stage set up before and neither did my guests. There was not a single thing I would have changed and I cant thank these talented individuals enough. If you are planning an event, please contact Excellent Designs because you will not regret it.

Excellent Designs is the best place to get flowers for your wedding. Their prices were very reasonable and affordable. I was able to schedule a few meetings to review exactly what I wanted and was offered great advice for the type of wedding I was having. I got my flowers delivered on-time and they looked absolutely gorgeous. I also ordered my bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets which were VERY WELL priced! I definitely recommend Excellent Designs for your upcoming wedding or event!

Thanks to Excellent Designs for our great gazebo draping and chair sashes. Our ceremony site was beautiful because of these along with the flowers our florist provided. Ali was so easy to deal with and was very helpful all throughout the planning process. He really exceeded my expectations. He is also good at communicating with you as a client to make sure you get what you want! The prices are also very reasonable. My wedding day photos and videos were beautiful and Excellent Designs played a huge part of it!

They did an extraordinary job! They got there on time, put all chair covers and put the centerpieces together in record time. The centerpieces were elegant and exactly what they have showed me in pictures. They are beyond affordable and the quality they deliver is much higher than what I have seen with other company which charge much more than they do. I am a Corporate Event planner and I was very impressed by the professionalism this company have shown with the detailed they have put into their pieces.

We used Excellent Designs for our wedding Nov 10th 2018 and they did an exceptional job! We requested an over the top backdrop and they nailed our vision, everyone was blown away with all the decor. Hands down Ali is the man! I cannot say enough of how great they were, if I could give 10 stars I would. I highly recommend them for all your decor needs, amazing pricing and exceptional quality.

We just had our sons first rice ceremony covered by Excellent Designs. The arrangements were flawless, looked exactly like the catalog we saw, all the guests highly praised the decor and the floral guest table centerpieces. Also we prepared a pennant banner for the occasion to put upon the backdrop, Ali accommodated that even though we were little late in bringing it to the hall.We really appreciate their effort and perfection and highly recommend them.

Excellent is exactly what Excellent Design is all about. My daughter had her wedding on May 20th and Excellent Design did a wonderful job. We contracted with them for flowers, lighting, to decorate several tables, chafing dishes, backdrop for a sweetheart table with decorations and a sweetheart chair. They came in did their job with excellent timing and the ballroom looked beautiful. They came in after the wedding and collected all of their equipment without us even noticing. I am so pleased with their service and would recommend them to anyone getting married. We did a lot of price comparisons and Excellent Design offered the best price overall. The owner, Ali was professional and offered many different options. And he gave us exactly what we wanted. Thank you Ali and a big thank you to your wife, the employees and everyone working on our wedding preparations we appreciated you all!

My wedding ballroom looked just beautiful! The entire set-up including the stage, our sweetheart table, the flowers on cake, guest table decorations, my bridal bouquet and anything and everything i can think of was excellent!The entire place was full of beautiful flowers! And they were good quality! Its been 10 days since the wedding and my bridal bouquet roses and center pieces are still going - (about 10% or less dried out - yes theyre in fresh water but still!)Truly loved their work and would definitely go back to them for any future event decorations! =)Also, really fair prices and Ali provides excellent customer service.

I worked with Ali at a wedding that took place at the Dana on Mission Bay. Their flowers and other decorations were extremely beautiful and elegant, but what impressed me the most was Alis customer service. He was so friendly and professional that it almost made me cry. I wish there were more business owners like him in this world. To make a long story short, Excellent Designs is the best wedding decor provider Ive ever worked with in my entire life.

My niece was married 9/22 at Green Gables and Ali with Excellent Designs was one of their approved vendors!! I cannot tell you how beautiful the flowers were it exceeded my expectations! He is always available via phone or email and never makes you feel rushed. After the wedding I had several people come up to me to get his phone number for upcoming weddings of their own. He worked within our budget and let us know how we can get the biggest bang for our buck. Excellent Designs will not let you down!!

My husband & I got married on April 29, 2017. Excellent Designs was literally our lifesaver. Ali and his team did everything for us; from ceremony to reception. He was very efficient and responsive, helpful, and always willing to work with our budget. Ali was honest with what he can work with and figured other ways to help us get the look we were going for at a reasonable price. We could not have chosen a better one stop shop than Excellent Designs.We wanted a certain look – somewhat rustic, whimsical, and romantic. We had our reception at Marina Village and we were set on having a sheer ivory backdrop, showing off parts of the wood in our venue. Ali did not have the sheer ivory but knew that’s what I envisioned. I asked if it was possible, and his exact words to me were, “Even if I have to lose money, if I say I will do it, I will deliver!” After we had the conversation, I left the ball in his hands, trusted him, and indeed Ali DELIVERED!All I can say was when we walked into the church we were speechless; then even more blown away at the reception. It was a beautiful sight. Centerpieces, sweetheart table, backdrop --- jaw dropper! You are awesome Ali! We are very grateful for all that you had done for us. Our wedding day was elegant and beautiful because of Excellent Designs and the amazing talent you all have. I wish I can do it all over again. There is no better investment or choice no matter the budget but Ali & his team from Excellent Designs.~Grantley & Jorene Ulloa

My review for Excellent Designs is long overdue. My husband and I used Alis team for our October 11, 2015 wedding in Coronado, California, and we are so happy that we did. Out of all of our vendors, Excellent Designs was by far the most AFFORDABLE and PROFESSIONAL out of the bunch. Since I was planning my wedding from out of town, I opted for a phone consultation with Ali where I was able to make my selections from his assortment of photos on his website.When Ali went to pick my flowers up a few days before the wedding, they didnt have one of the shades of pink that I wanted for my wedding. Ali immediately called me and explained the minor hiccup, and then he promptly texted me pictures of other pinks that were in stock for me to choose from (no biggie). On the day of the wedding, the flowers came out perfect and the colors popped in all of my photos. I was SOOOOOO happy that we went with Excellent Designs instead of handling the flowers ourselves (which we originally planned).Seriously guys, stop looking at other companies and book Excellent Designs!

Amazing floral design and customer attention! Its been several months since our wedding on February 17th earlier this year and I have to say weve had a wonderful experience working with Ali Sirat of Excellent Designs. We actually miss the whole experience. Ali made it so easy for us by capturing our vision of the floral decorations for our rustic themed wedding meshed with his recommendations from his years of experience. And boy...the result was extraordinary! We honestly shopped around the San Diego area and we were happy & fortunate to find Excellent Designs - impressed with pricing compared to other florists in the area with the top quality floral designs, attention to detail, and customer focus. We knew that the most expensive times to shop for flowers during the year was around Valentines week and Mothers Day. If youre like me, I did alot of background research on floral design vendors and pricing. Excellent Designs, by far, had the best pricing with the amazing wedding quality. The best part was that they truly want to capture what it is you envision and cater to your needs, which means they will adjust pricing lower. They were very organized and knew that we found the right people who made the floral planning stress-free. They worked really well with our wedding coordinator at The Brick in Liberty Station for our reception and any floral provisions at our wedding site at St. Joseph Cathedral. We actually miss working with Excellent Designs because they went above and beyond to ensure everything at our wedding was top notch. And honestly, seeing the floral decor on our big day was AMAZING!!! Wow...I was very impressed with the attention to detail, and capture of our design flavor. for the wedding....from the florals on our arch to the centerpiece and all decor....I was in awe! Amazing as my beautiful wife who walked down the aisle....from the bottom of our hearts, thank you Ali, your wife, and your staff! To everyone else, make an appointment today!
