Love love this place!!! This is the best florist around!!! When I use to work at a salon in little falls years years ago(15yrs ago) the salon owner always had fresh beautiful bouquet every week delivered!!! The arrangement was always so beautiful. I was amazed on how gorgeous they were and so different each week! Now that I am an adult with a family I have to say we now use Coqui florist! Everything is always so beautifully done! Perfect!!! Not only that but George and Lenny are such amazing people! Thanks so much!!! Xoxo

My boss, my family and I all use Coqui Designs for our floral arrangements needs. We’re always impressed with the quality of work as well as the quality and quantity of flowers in each arrangement we order. Personally, I’m always impressed by the arrangements, the artistry of each arrangement and the wonderful staff. Every staff member is friendly, professional and treat each client with the utmost respect. When you require a beautiful floral arrangement, call or go running to Coqui! I promise that you’ll have the best experience and the best arrangement you’ll order!

I met with the owner of this floral shop to discuss flowers for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. He was arrogant and rude and provided absolutely no creative input. Since there is really nothing to see in his shop, I asked if there was a portfolio I could look through and he told me I could go home and look at it on his website. He also added that he sized me up as I walked in and he knew I wasn’t going to be worth his time. He was absolutely the most disgusting business owner I’ve ever dealt with. I’ve lived in the area for almost 15 years and never heard of Coqui Design and now I know why!

My fiancé and I met with George Cuellar, one of the owners of Coqui Design to discuss our upcoming wedding at a nearby venue. Since I had heard great reviews about Coqui Designs from a lawyer friend, I had great expectations of our meeting. My fiancé was less enthused because of the reviews she had read. To my chagrin, our first meeting with George was less than professional. My fiancé asked him for recommendations and his responses were patent and full of «what do you want». She was actually looking for his professional input and design ideas yet what she got was rubbish. If I hadn’t intervened, my poor fiancé would’ve exploded. Finally he did show my fiancé some of his center piece designs for another wedding, which were less than spectacular. Yet I was willing to give him a chance and I convinced my fiancé to play along. We made arrangements to come back to his shop for him to arrange flowers for my fiancé to see. He told us he’d call us by Thursday, May 21. We didn’t get a call. Since I was away for part of Memorial Day weekend, I didn’t get a chance to call Coqui Design until this Tuesday. I called George to ask him if he’d be ready to meet with us again. He told me he would have to call his flower wholesaler first and get back to me by the next day. I waited for his call yet he did not call back. I called him again to ask him if he had talked to his wholesaler. He told me that he had not called me back because he had not gotten the flowers, that it didn’t look like it would happen until the following week and if it didn’t work For me I should look for another florist because he was a New York style florist. He also told me that I should go with another florist who created stale designs as opposed to him. After I told him I had only called to get a definite date, he responded that he could give me a date of June 11, he’d only do the flower arrangement demonstration if I made a $ 1000 deposit and committed to using his services first and if not, I could search for another florist. I was shocked. I told him this wasn’t the deal we had agreed to, but he quipped that this is how it was going to be since I pushed him to the edge supposedly. Even though George Cuellar may have a good reputation in the flower design and arrangement business and has some high profile clients, his behavior and attitude is down right unacceptable and rude. I’m sure he doesn’t treat his clients, such as Gibbons like he treated me. I’m also sure that his arrogance and self-confidence speaks more about who he is personally than anything he might actually design. No person should be treated or dressed down like I was… Human decency must count for something still, right? What is the greatest tragedy here is that George Cuellar unknowingly dressed down a member of the State Advisory Board for the US Commission of Civil Rights and a local attorney who works closely, and was recommended to him by many of the same clients he serves in the legal profession. I would highly recommend staying away from this place.

We ordered flowers from here for my Godmother’s funeral. As I’ve never ordered funeral flowers before, I asked for guidance on what would be appropriate and what he could recommend. The man I dealt with was incredibly rude and told me he was confused by what I was asking for. He promised he would make the arrangement«special» and«gorgeous» and re-read the card back to me(which included a message and my family members’ names). When we arrived at the funeral, we saw that the flowers were not at all«special», «gorgeous» … or even in the basket that he said that they would be in. The message on the card was completely incorrect(he ended up using the generic«with deepest sympathy»), and he butchered our names. This caused us GREAT embarrassment at the services. When we tried to speak to him afterwards, he lied about what we asked for, and said that we couldn’t get anything special for what we paid(that, he said, would have cost us $ 500 for an arrangement). I would NEVER recommend working with this florist, unless you enjoy rude and belligerent people.
