"I had the most amazing wedding day and the flowers were absolutely
beautiful. You did a perfect job! Thanks!"
Elizabeth (Taylor) Stalzer
Thank you so much for the amazing job you and your staff did on creating the perfect floral design for our wedding. We were so impressed with our Chuppah! We knew we wanted to take advantage of our fall wedding and use a lot of branches and warm colors but we didn't know exactly how to do that. Carolyn was able to take our vague ideas and create a masterpiece that wowed not only us but our guests as well. From the bouquets and boutonnieres down to the topiaries (on the dining tables) and the flower petals strategically placed down the wedding isle, Carolyn picked and supplied the most perfect flowers. They were beautiful! The topiaries were especially nice because it allowed you to see and talk with your table companions at dinner without having flowers in the way. Also, all of the bouquets were the perfect size and color. The attention to detail provided by Carolyn and her team was remarkable. Everything was available and ready at the right times and I knew I had nothing to worry about. The fluidity of the flower design as guests moved from room-to-room was impeccable. I am extremely happy with the service that Carolyn provided and I would absolutely recommend her to any bride looking for someone to provide unique and impressive floral design at her wedding. She gets the FIVE STAR rating in our book. Thanks!"

"Carolyn was so sweet and easy to work with! She listened to our story, and asked questions about what we were visualizing, and showed us photographs so we had a really good idea that we were all on the same page artistically. I emailed a few pictures of bouquets and centerpieces from magazines, and photos of our dresses and invitations, so Carolyn had a really clear idea of the colors, and the vibe we were trying to achieve. Carolyn never told us what we "had to do" nor did she impose her ideas on us. She just had great suggestions. Of all the wedding vendors we hired, (and they were all great, and the wedding was perfect and top-notch) Carolyn was the easiest to work with, and she stayed within our budget, too. She is not only a doll, but is also so creative and talented, and to tell you the truth, her Manhattan studio was cool and fun to visit, also. Carolyn worked with my mom, who offered to use her own curly willow from her garden, to create such a stunning huppah, and well, our setting which was our new house and pond, was a picture perfect fairy tale. Carolyn is talented, and up-and-coming, book her while she still has availability."

"STEM NYC designs are the most elegant artfully prepared florals. We have been using STEM since their opening and we always get ooohs and aaahs from our employees upon each delivery to our offices. We love the reaction from clients as they enter our Reception areas. We even keep STEM NYC business cards up in our reception area since we are asked so often "who designs your florals?" STEM NYC designs florals with such a unique flair that they are truly works of art. STEM NYC never disappoints. Thank you STEM!"

Your designs are gorgeous we were saying how we love the way you wrap your stems in the water... you have such a beautiful flair even with the greenery.

"I've been a customer of STEM NYC for 3 years. All of the arrangements that I've ordered have been absolutely beautiful and always arrive on time and are extremely fresh! The staff is so easy to work with and the quality of their designs is remarkable. I've attended 3 different weddings designed by STEM and each one was gorgeous and unique. This is why I chose STEM floral design for my own wedding next fall. I would highly recommend STEM NYC for their custom floral design needs."

"I can't begin to tell you how beautiful you made everything yesterday!! The flowers were so magnificent and the Chuppah was beyond beautiful! I think the stairway looked amazing and Janet's bouquet too. I especially liked the urbanny Japanesey arrangement on the escort table.
Just wanted to thank you for helping to create the exact feeling of simplicity we talked about. It was a very special day!! Hope to stay in touch with you and will definitely recommend you to everyone!"
Sara Gilbert

"There are so many wonderful things I can say about Carolyn and STEM, I find it difficult to find where to begin. From the beginning of the wedding process, Carolyn was more than just a fabulous florist, she was my go to gal. I brought her to my ceremony and reception site and she helped me to envision, plan, create and perfect my dream wedding. She goes above and beyond in ever aspect. She treated my wedding as if it were her own. I was very naive to what exactly went into a wedding but Carolyn was there every step of the way. She gave me professional, expert advice as to what to include in my choices of flowers and decor. I remember when I visited her studio I was able to see my trial centerpiece. I walked in and began to cry because the centerpiece took my breath away. I was once again brought to tears when I saw the finished product. My ceremony site was breathtaking. My reception was elegant and sophisticated. I believe that the flowers set the tone of the reception. Even to this day people are not only talking about how much fun they had, but also my guests express to me how amazing my flowers were, including the men. If the men are mentioning my flowers I know they had to have made an impact on people. I recommend STEM and Carolyn to anyone planning an event or wedding. If you want your flowers to be MEMORABLE, STEM is the right choice for you."

BREATHTAKING! This is not a word I often use, but the flowers at our wedding took my breath away, and I was the groom. We had a wedding with a stunning scenic view on the water, at a gorgeous little place on Long Island. However, the second most beautiful thing about it, my wife being the first of course, was the floral arrangements by STEM. I can not tell you the names or types of flowers we had, but I can tell you that Carolyn did an amazing job, above and beyond any expectations that we had. Our wedding would not have been the same without her expertise planning and decorating. Prior to our wedding, it was my belief that the flowers were not an intricate part of a wedding. I also once thought that not many people actually remember what the flowers looked like once the wedding was over. This may still be true for people who use other mediocre floral designers, but it was definitely NOT the case with the expertise of Carolyn and STEM. Besides talking about the good times people had at the wedding, everyone is still raving about how beautiful it was. The flowers turned a quaint reception hall into an elegant wedding space. If you want a memorable looking wedding, then there is no other choice but STEM.
Corey McNamara
"In a word, STEM is flawless. We were fortunate enough to have STEM do the floral arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and donation scrolls for our wedding and they truly went above and beyond. The team from STEM is wonderfully creative and talented - all of the flowers were exactly as we had envisioned them. I was most impressed with their professionalism and dedication - Carolyn treated my wedding as if it were her own. We received endless compliments on our lush bouquets and table arrangements - they were truly stunning and were the perfect accent to the reception hall. We could not have asked for more from STEM - and though our wedding is over we plan to use them for all of our events in the future. It is with great gratitude that we HIGHLY recommend STEM!"
Eden & Mike Burkhardt
"Stem NYC never ceases to amaze me with their creativity and willingness to wow their clients. Every time I use Carolyn and Stem for my event, I am blown away by her understanding of my needs and her ability to capture exactly what I want. She is always professional, prompt and a delight to work with."
Matt Meyerson, Expose NY
"Thank you for making my flowers breathtaking and for helping make my wedding day the most special and memorable day of our lives. I had a bridal party of 9 bridesmaids, 10 groom’s men and 5 little ones. We had 20 centerpiece flowers. Each and every flower was placed with the utmost perfection, the vibrance of the colors and the neatness of the bouquets left all 220 guests in absolute amazement. Everyone's jaws dropped when they saw the flowers and to this day everyone is still talking about the flowers. I will definitely be recommending Stem NYC to every bride to be I know!"
