Overall, the flowers turned out beautiful at the ceremony and reception of our wedding. There was gap in the responsiveness between the florist and I. We were passed around to 3 different consultants. Overall the flowers turned out well and the day of the wedding they were on schedule and on point in their services.

Kind of overpriced. their staff was really friendly. Overall everything worked out well but they should find ways to work with large orders for weddings and create a way for people to buy in bulk and not break the bank!

Val on the Big Island was amazing! Thankfully I stopped by the shop the day before and caught a few things that I would like to change. All my wedding bouquets were gorgeous! Easy to work with and Val has amazing energy.

Watanabe did a great job. They are a bit pricey but if you use the gift cards at costco it makes it much more affordable.

I had to use them last minute. Literally 48 hours before my wedding i called them for flowers. I had previously been quoted 2,000 for the exact same flowers I got from them for 700! I am so thankful that they came through for me and had all the flowers I wanted! They were professional and delivered as promised.

Watanabe always provides incredible flowers. The bouquets were beautiful! They were helpful in the flower selection process, showing us a variety of options. The day before the wedding when we went to pick up some orchids, pay our final payment, and pick up the cake flowers, we saw that the cake flowers were not the right color! I guess they didn't have the right kind of flower, so they substituted another color without informing us. We chose a different type of red rose to take for the cake, and it was fine. Overall, Watanabe is a great flower company and I recommend them.

Watanabe has been doing weddings for years so they know what they are doing and are willing to work with the customers. They produce beautiful arrangements and make sure everything is fresh.

The family friend/florist who was going to do my wedding flowers backed out several weeks before my wedding and Watanabe Floral really came through for me. Rona at Watanabe Floral was really great to work with and a great help with ideas and suggestions. I changed my order so many times and she kept great track of everything I wanted. Since we had such little time they were only able to make me one sample which was not anything like I wanted. I sent them photos of what I wanted as well as the flowers I wanted (I'm a little OCD) instead and hoped for the best. The flowers turned out amazing from the bouquets to the chuppah decorations to the amazing centerpieces. I really could not have hoped for more and no one would ever know that I organized all of this at the last minute. Thank you so much Watanabe!

They were great at helping us pick the best flowers and arrangements to go with our budget, and I was happy with the final result. Only 2 small problems - First, they were a bit late in delivery, which made us a bit late for arrival at the chapel and I was super stressed out, of course, but it was fine. Also, the "hot pink" roses used in the bridal vs. bridesmaids' bouquets were completely different shades, slightly clashing, and we were not warned of this. I was a bit shocked and upset when I first saw them - just before hitting the aisle... Just something to think about and make sure you discuss when coordinating your arrangements.

They were great! They tend to our needs and budget. And you go in details what you order, flower by flower. The only flaw was my centerpiece, it didn't hold up like I wanted it to, but my own fault for choosing a water/floral centerpiece.
