I was so excited to work with Makrancy's when I booked them due to their wonderful reviews and beautiful photos. However, I was extremely let down by them:The Pros:- they completed the order- they fixed the order morning ofThe Cons:- To start out, any time I had a question or minor change to the contract, something major in the contract would get edited or deleted. Every. Single. Time. Wanted to add candles - the bridesmaids bouquets got completed edited into something I didn't ask for. Wanted to add more roses to the groom's mother's flowers - the junior groomsman's flower got deleted. I had to print out a version of each contract just to double check their mistakes. It was exhausting. If you're not a Type A bride or don't want to micromanage a vendor, do not use them.- BIGGEST CON: Then came the morning of the wedding. They brought over the flowers to my house and every bridesmaid bouquet was wrong, despite the final version of the contract being correct with what I had picked. The stylist had to fix it in the garage and make new ones to match what I told them in the 2 hour meeting I had with them. Then came the groomsmen's flowers. I asked for rust to match the bridesmaids. They used bright yellow roses because "that was what they had". The only florals that were correct and as described on the contract were the centerpieces. So much of the order was incorrect that they had to go back to the shop morning of the wedding and recreate everything.- Lastly, basically every flower wilted after 4 hours or just fell out of the bouquet when the bridesmaid held it. Definitely not the quality we expected for the price point.I was so disappointed with this entire experience. From the contract mess ups, the constant emailing them to fix it (I have 60+ emails in one chain with them), to finally seeing the finished product morning of. This was beyond subpar service for the price we paid.

Skilled, creative and highly professional, Janet Makrancy's Weddings & Parties exceeded my expectations when they provided the decoration for my event. My venue was not easy - a large stone and metal pavilion in a public park. They managed to make it lovely, encasing the utilitarian steel columns in lush greenery. Passersby were stopping to ogle. Staff were a pleasure to work with at every step, from the first quote to the final clean-up. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY KILLED THIS BOUQUET. Karissa was amazing, patient and attentive. I asked for sculptural, monochrome, not too big, etc. We had a tiny micowedding and I wanted something boho and vibey - they executed!

Makrancys florist did a fabulous job for Natalie’s wedding, December 18, 2021! Working with Karissa was very easy, and on wedding day, exceeded our expectations. We provided lots of photos for ideas of what Natalie like for all her flower needs, and Karissa was able to pull them all together, and again, exceed our expectations.They certainly have talent, experience, and expertise in their business!

Janet & Team are beyond amazing to work with. I have personally worked with her on everything from large galas to smaller intimate events. They are creative and will work to meet your budget. In addition, their decor for events always leave guests amazed by the "experience" that they create! It's ALWAYS a fun collaboration to work with Janet Makrancy's Weddings & Parties!

Janet Makrancy and her team did an absolutely amazing job and truly helped make our wedding day as the special day we hoped for. Everything turned out beautiful, from the floral arch design at our alter to the table center pieces and everything in between. We chose a somewhat un-traditional location for our day and they took a blank canvas of a space and transformed it into an amazing venue. They were extremely easy to work with right from the start and accommodated all of our wishes and requests without hesitation. We had complete confidence in the team and they far exceeded our expectations. They day simply would not have been the same if Janet Makrancy and her team was not involved and I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event that you are planning.

Upon hiring Janet Makrancy for our wedding florist, she asked myself and my husband a few questions about what we liked and what was important to us in our relationship. We’re avid hikers who frequent the Adirondacks, and the most important things in our lives are our dogs.

We worked with Janet and her team for our wedding at TPC Jasna Polana. Karissa, our coordinator, was super responsive and very communicative during the whole experience. She listened to what we envisioned and was able to compile our dream arrangements into real life. All the arrangements that were created for our wedding were, without a doubt, beautiful. The team did a phenomenal job with each and every detail and all of our guests (and the staff at the venue) were full of compliments. On the day of the wedding we even had to add an extra table and centerpiece. Without any hesitation or question we had another at the venue. We cannot say enough about every aspect of working with Janet and her team. If you need flowers for an event of any kind stop looking and go to them!

I called Janet Makrancy's Wedding & Parties based on their good reviews. I had no idea how or if they could decorate an old battered park pavillion that my daughter chose to use for her "wedding dances in the park" (dances at a wedding reception hall were discouraged due to COVID). Karissa was wonderful from my first phone call through the whole process. I sent her a terrible picture of the pavilion and she took the reins (along many repeated phone calls from me asking for reassurance that is would look nice). She took my budget and made a stunning white, illuminated scape that is only partially shown in this picture. At the last minute, we added their heaters as it was a chilly day at the end of February. All I can say is that I could spot the pavilion from the moment I entered the park. The front entrance draping was so soft and beautiful. The white branches with lights made an obvious entrance where there was none. It was stunning!
