I worked with Barbara and Brandon, both really friendly and responsive. However, the final product of the 3 bouquets I ordered for my wedding was extremely disappointing. I requested dimensional bouquets and gave several photo examples of what I wanted within the color scheme of ivory, peach, orange, and white, with lots of leaves. What was delivered were deep red/orange flowers with the other colors requested in a very circular shape with minimal leaves. Although individually they are good bouquets, they were not what we had discussed and did not go well with my color scheme.First two photos are the ones delivered by James Cress. The following are the examples I sent them.In response to the owner, the color changes made in the contract were a result of an in person meeting in which I was shown samples of the flowers to be included. The flowers were pink and red/orange, which again was not the vision.
Barbara and Brandon over at James Cress Florist are the absolute best!! The flowers for our wedding were just gorgeous and they were able to accommodate my ideas, budget, and last minute additions and changes!! The staff is professional, loving, and you leave their office feeling excited to see what they will create, and calm knowing they are taking care of you!!
Today was my birthday and i was looking for a unique floral arrangement something different and unconventional and uncommon, i came across this flower the one in the center, the florist helped me design this bouquet, the flowers are beautiful in excellent condition and the presentation is phenomenal!The store is well maintained and incredibly handicap accessible, those who use manual wheelchairs, walkers or even electric motorized wheelchairs will be capable of getting around the storefront with great ease.(you may have an issue going inside the refrigerated area but the the florist are very attentive and more than willing to help you)
I have purchased flowers from every florist in the area that delivers to Smithtown and none of them compare to James Cress Florist. They have never disappointed! The bouquets are beautiful and massive. Ive spent $150-$200 at other shops only for them to deliver something that looks like they picked it up at Stop-and-Shop for $20. James Cress Florists $64.99 Designers Choice is an incredible price point and you receive a bouquet straight out of Alice in Wonderland (seriously, the blooms are as big as your head).
Excellent customer care and concern! I have been a customer of James Cress for years and they never disappoint. The care and concern provided by their team member Vinny when calling for a funeral arrangement was excellent. Great job James Cress as always!
I ordered their daily deal bouquet and was incredibly impressed with the size and quality of flowers for the price. Arrangement was very modern, tasteful, and seasonally relevant!13 out of 8, would recommend
James Cress recently provided the arrangements and decor for my wedding last Saturday. Everything came out beautiful and lush. Brandon and Barbara were a pleasure to work with. They really brought my wifes vision to life. The delivery driver was extremely cordial and everything arrived on time as planned. Compared to other florists, James Cress prices were very competitive for the level of service and products they offered. I definitely recommend James Cress to anyone needing floral arrangements for an event.
I cannot say enough good things about James Cress Florist. I have gone there for years for all my flowers. They always do a wonderful job. Yesterday I received the most beautiful flower bouquet that I have ever seen for Mother’s Day from my sons. The bouquet is huge and so pretty. Thank you James Cress for making my Mother’s Day so happy. I highly recommend James Cress Florist to take care of all your floral needs. They are so helpful, kind and always make their customers happy.
They were the kindest people to my family and I during the hardest time of my life. They did an amazing job on a custom order for my husband and I know he loved it🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜He always wanted a farm but was takin from us before we could do that so I gave him his tractor for he farm in the sky. It was awesome 💚💚💚💚💚💚
James Cress blew me away with their amazing service, beautiful arrangements and vibrant, fresh flowers. Brandon is brilliant and any bride would be lucky to work with him. I had a VERY specific vision of what I wanted for my wedding, but also a tight budget. Brandon worked with me on every gritty detail, understanding my vision while being creative in how to sub specific flowers and numbers of items to stay within budget. I spent hours going back and forth with Brandon and he was patient and professional through it all. He literally turned the solarium room in our venue into a greenhouse with flowers and lanterns adorning the ceilings and walls. The venue was so blown away by his elaborate work that they requested that our pictures be used to show off the possibility of the ceremony room for future weddings and asked us to get them a card for James Cress so that they can work more officially with them in the future. James Cress is the best florist to work with on Long Island and I would recommend them 100%.
The $171.00 bouquet sent to me for my birthday was all dead in less than 3 days. HOWEVER, to make up for the bad experience, they reached out the same day after learning of the situation via my review, sincerely apologized for the situation, and sent a new beautiful bouquet to replace the original, which was much appreciated! They also called after the new bouquet was delivered to ensure it was received and apologize again.
Beautiful roses for my anniversary which were supposed to be delivered to my office this morning......Instead they just arrived arrived to my home 5 minutes ago!!! Local too!!
We have used James Cress Florists for years. Our daughter’s wedding, special occasions and anytime we wanted beautiful flowers. They never disappoint and always go above and beyond expectations
Awesome job. They were able to put together a beautiful spray of flowers with straight flushes from two decks of playing cards. It really looked great and made everyone at the wake a little less sad. Thank you!!!
My mother recently passed away earlier this year and we were looking for a special arrangement to commemorate her and her love of flowers. We reached out to James Cress after having had an excellent experience with them for our wedding. Once again, they did not disappoint.They created a beautiful heart arrangement with my mothers favorite flowers, sunflowers, with a special message from my father draped across the front with ribbon. The most amazing thing about James Cress is that they go above and beyond to help their customers. Not only was the arrangement exactly what we ordered and looked amazing, but they were able to complete the order and have it delivered a day early, directly to the funeral home, a day before Valentines day.Based on the amazing service and friendly staff alone, I would absolutely recommend them for any event, but their great prices are just the icing on the cake. Thank you, James Cress, for the care and attention to detail you provided during this difficult time.
I have used James Cress Florist many times - most recently to send fresh flowers locally to my Niece last Friday. The gentleman who took my order was most helpful and professional, and my Niece was delighted.
Ordered flowers today for a birthday, same day delivery, absolutely gorgeous, excellent customer service!!
Brandon and the team at James Cress Florist was incredible, extremely accommodating, and hilarious to work with! We actually had a better wedding planning experience with them vs. our venue and vendor! As soon as I walked into the facility, I got this sense of confidence that everything would go as I wanted and it did!I had a vision of how I wanted my bouquet to look and they were able to execute it and make it even better than what I envisioned! I also had asked to have my grandfathers picture on the bouquet and they were able to make it so subtle but it brought me to tears to see that that incorporated it.Everything was put together so beautifully - from the all the bouquets and buttoners, to the arch where we got married. Overall, me and my husband had a great experience with this florist and we highly recommend them.Thank you again for everything Brandon and the team at James Cress Florist
I scheduled a delivery from France for someone in New York. its perfect!
I live in Georgia and my girls and I sent flowers from James Cress Florist to my sister who lives in Smithtown, NY. I also sent birthday flowers to her. She was thrilled both times. She said they were so beautiful and she is picky. Customer service was amazing. The price was right and I will continue to purchase flowers from this amazing florist. I wish I could give it more than five stars! Thank you James Cress Florist!!!
I can’t thank you ladies enough for what a wonderful job you did yesterday helping me get the perfect arrangement of roses! I really appreciate how helpful you were, and how quickly you put together an absolutely stunning arrangement! Couldn’t have been better service, the flowers are wonderful, and I can’t wait to come back next time I’m looking to buy flowers!
After recently returning to the Smithtown area Ive received 3 flower deliveries from James Cress Smithtown location. Each bouquet and arrangement has consisted of exquisite and abundant fresh flowers beautifully arranged. Delivery drivers have been curteous and friendly.I couldnt be happier with the flowers or the sevice, and will think of you first when I need flowers sent to Long Island!
I live in California and needed flowers delivered in Smithtown. I am so glad that I chose this florist after googling florists in Smithtown. They did a spectacular job and I could not be happier!! Very reasonably priced and 2 beautiful arrangements.
I have always dealt with James Cress in either Port Jefferson Sta. Of in Smithtown N Y every time they have done such beautiful work and I greatly appreciate the effort they put forth thank you Cress Florist this last arrangement you did for me to give to my dear friend was beautiful she loved them and I didnt know but u put a sunflower in the arrangement and that is her favorite flower and that precious lady who delivered them was so sweet I love the work u do thank you for the beautiful flower arrangements and I always recommend James Cress Florist thank you Esther Olsen
They ask you to wear a mask to come in the store but the guy taking order sneezed ii the air with his mask pulled down why should we care about you if you dont care about us I will say they do have nice flowers but prices are alot higher compared to other florist
Always please with your service and the customer care shown to my Mother. Been ordering from James Cress for over 30 years. I live in AZ and know that my flowers will always be beautiful. Thanks for the excellent floral arrangements over the years.
Very easy ordering on their website. I went for the designer choice summer special. Arrived the next day as requested. The colors were warm yellows and orange - sunflowers, orange roses, lilies. The bouquet was large and full. It was for my mother and she loved it. Very happy with the service from James Cress.
BEST Flowers and customer service ever!! I never have to worry ESP for a Funeral..Always professional service, delivered on time, and Beautiful arrangements. THANK you and my ONLY go to Florist
Great people great service....absolutely beautiful arrangements
Called last minute to have flowers sent to a funeral home. The woman that answered was friendly, professional and very helpful. The arrangement was delivered promptly. Before we knew it was ours, we had commented how beautiful it was. We were pleasantly surprised to find out it was the arrangement I had ordered two hours prior! I would very highly recommend this florist. Will do business with them again.
My Mom LOVED her flowers and Godiva chocolates! Her favorite part was when the delivery guy asked if she was going to be 29 on her birthday! At 88 years young, she was thrilled!
An exceptional florist that really understands customer service. The personnel in there Smithtown location are very helpful and courteous. Exceptional floral arrangements demonstrates professional people. Great place.
No matter where I am living in the world, when I need flowers delivered in the Smithtown, NY area I call Cress Florist. And be sure to ask for Kevin...his arrangements are magical.
Flowers are always fresh, reasonably priced and delivery service is top notch.
My nephew passed away tragically at the age of 30. He was a devout Deadhead (Grateful Dead follower). We wanted to do something special that truly represented him and this is the awesome display James Cress produced for us. We got so many compliments on it and everyone took pictures of it to remember him by. Thank you James Cress.
Great Quality Gift Baskets! I love that you get a Delivered email :)
For many years, my NZ family sends me a birthday bouquet from JCF, beautifully arranged, wrapped and delivered. This one on 10/2 went undetected until my guest was leaving after dinner and said, theres something on your front step.....just a plain glass vase with the floral arrangement - no protective carton, no wrapping, It could have been blown or knocked over - why the deliverer couldnt ring the doorbell is disappointing. Flowers are great in any case.....just not the same quality of care in delivery. Chalk it up to Covid-19 ????
Excellent service, gorgeous arrangements, and good prices. They did an outstanding job for our daughters wedding in March. Barbara and Brandon were wonderful to work with.
Thank you for a beautiful sympathy spray. Exactly what I had hoped for 💜
James Cress creates incredible floral designs. I have been using them for years. Their service is excellent and they have always exceeded my expectations. There are other florists in the area but they are just not as good as James Cress. 5 stars all the way.
They were wonderful.I called last minute and they helped me pick something out and delivered on time. Highly recommend.
Great florist. We live in South Carolina, but all of our family is in Suffolk County, NY. James Cress provides so much quicker (same day) and much better quality floral services than the national companies. We have never been disappointed with our purchases made online.
This place was the sweetest company. I was disappointed with my order because even though the flowers were beautiful it did not match the picture of what I selected, HOWEVER I let them know and they delivered a even bigger beautiful arrangement just like the picture for free without me even asking for one. I also ordered the flowers online and they were delivered within a couple of hours . Great place if your in a rush to get flowers some where fast!! Not to mention high quality flowers and beautiful arrangements
My husband sent me pure white Roses for Valentine’s Day this past Wednesday, they are absolutely gorgeous... they were presented in a beautiful white box ...❤️3 days later they are still perfect ...He won’t buy flowers anywhere else ..I wish I could post a picture
James Cress has been a part of Long Island for many years and the reason being they are just superb.
James Cress promptly delivered a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my wifes birthday. She was impressed with the quality of the flowers and the artistic arrangement.
The flowers I ordered were beautiful and arrived at the funeral home in the timeframe requested. I am from out of town and was extremely pleased with the quality and service.
They created a beautiful arrangement with white roses and purple Caspia flowers for my sons first date. It was perfect. They even changed the bow on the white teddy bear he bought to match! I will definitely buy all of our future arrangements from them!!!!
I bought my mom flowers for her birthday and she absolutely loved them. It was easy to order online the night before and they delivered them early the following day. I will be ordering from here again!
Wonderful staff. Jan was patient and professional.
Always please with our purchases a James Cress, flowers are fresh, arrangements are full and nicely done. you clearly get your monies worth.Have been doing business with them for over 30 years, never disappointed.
Kind staff! They have a good selection of quality arrangements. I found what i had in mind. They say you get what you paid for but i feel like i got more bang for the buck on my purchase. Definitely a go to.
Just received a balloon gram from this Florist, 5 Mylar and 5 latex balloons.. not sure how much the sender paid but it was delivered at 4pm. The day is half over. Two of the latex balloons are already deflated.A bit disappointed!
I love this florist. I recently moved to Smithtown and have been looking for a good florist. I think I found it. This florist has a huge assortment of flowers and their quality is on point. I came in looking for white lilies and although I did not see them on display I asked the sales associate and they brought them out from the back for me. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and they do beautiful work as far as making bouquets. The store is large which is nice, there is a lot of room to walk around and decide what you want. I wish more of the flowers were out on display so you could see them and pick what you want rather than have to ask for specific things to be brought out. My experience here was absolutely a positive one and I will definitely be going back.
Nice selection of flower arrangements. Very timely and efficient delivery too. They’ve been very consistent so far.
My daughter in-law stated the most beautiful arrangement ever.I thought it was too.
Professional, courteous, arrangement exactly as they described. Receiver thought it was mist beautiful display of flowers ever. Thank you.
James Cress Florist never disappoints.
We used James Cress Florist since they are the vendor our venue works with. My flowers were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I could not be more happy with how the florals came out! Thank you again for contributing to my dream come true wedding!
The arrangements are wonderful. Really like the place & my wife loves the flowers. Worth the money.
Loved how my bouquet came out with Daisies
Liz, I would like to thank you for the wonderful arrangement and the fruit basket. For this was a very sad time for me and you managed to help me through it. The flowers were very beautiful. I would recommend James Crest Florist to all my friends. Once again Thank you. Nancy
Beautiful flowers....got there earlier than expected....excellent customer service.....will definitely recommend and use again! Thank you for making my girlfriends day special!
I just worked on an order with them for someone very special. They were lovely and helpful. Im not from St. James, but I felt comfortable with them taking care of my gift.
I am not one who is easily impressed. or a person to take the time to leave any kind of review . however, i ordered flowers for valentines day knowing the reputation of james cress. there was a small problem with my delivery and the staff there went over above and beyond to make it right. very very few businesses stand behind their name and truely take care of their customers. i will be using them for all occasions i have from now on. and highly recomend them to anyone who is looking for a business that does the right thing.
This past weekend, I hosted a baby shower for my daughter and used James Cress as our florist. My daughter and I were thrilled with our arrangements. They were absolutely beautiful. All our guest remarked how lovely the centerpieces were. We worked with Cesar Torres in the Smithtown store and he was wonderful. Thank you Cesar and the team at James Cress Florist!
Ive worked here since 1995 I have to say its one of the best places. Love T
Great staff and beautiful flowers. My fiance was very happy. Will come back soon!
Say it with flowers took on a whole new meaning at my daughters wedding. The Cress team created a spectacular display of magnificent flowers that included centerpieces, a handcrafted arch and cocktail table arrangements. Cesar is a talented designer and Terry manage the entire event as if she were conducting an orchestra
Liz was the best! She chose the exact flowers I described and they were delivered in just the right amount of time. One happy birthday for my wife, who thought I forgot!!
I needed a birthday bouquet and was running late. They opened the doors for me after closing and took care of me in a friendly fashion. They’ve always been great but this was over the top.
Awesome service, beautiful arrangements, fast delivery!! Thank you so much!!
I am a florist in Virginia and had a very specific request for sympathy flowers for my sister, the manager went above and beyond to fill the request and provided a gorgeous piece with all the flower selections I described. My family has used them for years and now I also highly recommend them.
Went for their Deal of the Day with no picture as guidance. The flowers, which they delivered quickly, were of exceptional quality irregardless of the price but amazing as the Deal of the Day. Thanks James Cress. :)
Did a great job on the spot. Made my wife very happy knowledgeable and even put an extra layer of wrapping as it was cold outside
Flowers arrived the same day I ordered them and the arrangement was beyond my expectations.
Live in Texas and wanted to send our friends an arrangement for their 55th wedding anniversary. Found James Cress Florist under Best Rated Florist in Ronkonkoma, NY. Spoke to Diane and she was so helpful! Flowers turned out better than expected! Friends LOVED them! Would use James Cress again!
The customized funeral arrangement was comforting to my friend/sister and our family.
Flowers are beautiful! Excellent work on weddings !
While Ive been using this florist for more than twenty years, clearly, they are no longer owned by the Cress family. A bouquet of ANNIVERSARY flowers delivered to my wife was accompanied by a HAPPY BIRTHDAY balloon. I have sent several emails to them but have received no response, let alone an apology. Inasmuch as they no longer care about quality and customer service, Ill no longer be using them.
When you want the best you go to James Cress. That is what you need to know. Quality.
The young woman who assisted me with moms funeral arrangement was nice.
Cress did a fantastic job on my wedding. We were very, very happy with the product and service, especially Liz Guido!!
Amazing! The arrangement that you designed for Valentines Day exceeded all my expectations. Nobody goes it better! Thank you.
I contacted James Cress Florist for a last minute order on an ENORMOUS amount of flowers and they were professional, flexible, and the final result was excellent. Thanks James Cress Florist!
