The Wishing Well: Reviews
Fantastic experience: They are personable and crafty. I went in with a printed out picture of an anchor the beginning of October for my dad's memorial when he passed and they didn't hesitate that it could be done. It turned out so wonderful and really made his memory live on with his Naval service. Thank you all again for helping me preserve his memories
Fantastic experience: Very friendly. Listened to what we were looking for and doing the research for us.
Thanks for your kind words Mickey. We love helping folks find the perfect trip!
Fantastic experience: Terrie has been such a wonderful asset to The Virginia Funeral Directors Association during the planning and implementation of our most recent convention. Her attention to detail and proactive anticipation of our needs has been exemplary and we would highly recommend her services to anyone interested in planning a major event.
Fantastic experience: The lady who took our son's order for prom was INCREDIBLE. She really made it fun. Definitely would recommend and go back. We went and picked up the corsage today. We were blown away. The thought, care and beauty that went into it. WOW. THANK YOU for making this moment so special.
Thanks Trish. Proms are important events, it's an important time as kids are maturing into adults. Thanks for letting us be a part of this experience for your son.
Fantastic experience: Great experience working with Terrie on an escorted National Park trip that she had mentioned. I was not aware of this travel group. She gave lots of insightful tips and booked the trip, getting the best non-stop flight available at a reasonable price. I can't wait to go!
Ms. Boyle, we can't thank you enough for your great review! We are also very excited about your upcoming trip and feel confident that your experience will be epic!
Negative experience: I ordered an arrangement. It looked nothing like the picture. Had four huge orange lily's put together as the main focus. I paid nearly $100. Never again. I will do it myself next time.
Kathy, please contact us. We never want to disappoint our customers and will work with you to make things right.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous customer service. They strive to make the recipient as happy as you want them to be.
Fantastic experience: Great service and beautiful selection of flowers. I will be a return customer for sure!
Thanks for your kind words. We’re very happy to have you as a new customer and look forward to serving you again.
Negative experience: Harry was very nice and polite. Couldn’t ask for a nicer person the rest of the staff I can’t say that much for I was flat out lied to told me the vase was one thing when it was completely not I was told it was lavender and it was clear glass the arrangement might’ve been pretty. But this has left distaste with me for someone to flat out lie.
Rhoda, Thanks for the kind words. I'm sad that you weren't pleased with the response you received regarding the vase. As folks explained to you over the phone, we were unable to use the vase we spoke about because it was too small to accommodate the number of stems of flowers we included with your arrangement. The design team substituted a larger vase to make the arrangement look better. They should have contacted you before making the substitution, but didn't. Please know that they did what they did in the interest of making your flower arrangement look better overall; we would never intentionally lie.
Fantastic experience: I got married this weekend and had a very casual, easy going wedding. I’d planned to go to the farmers market and grab some seasonal flowers. Unfortunately, there were only a few flowers and I’d need more for my friends and I. I’d had a few great experiences with the Wishing Well’s grab and go bouquet set up, so we dropped by. They took amazing care of us, setting us all up with everything we wanted and more. Instead of being overwhelmed when I walked in for wedding flowers day off, we ended up with gorgeous bouquets and the whole process was so fun since we got to pick everything!
Kayla - we saw photos of your wedding. BOTH you and your flowers (and your husband too) looked fabulous!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! I ordered from out of state for a Harrisonburg delivery. The online ordering was easy, the same day delivery was exceptionally fast, and the arrangement was beautiful! Thank you!
We very much appreciate you taking time to share your experience and look forward to serving you again.
Fantastic experience: I called for flowers for my sister who had a baby and they delivered later that morning a beautiful arrangement. Excellent customer service.
Thanks for taking time to share your experience. We love making special moments even more special when we’re able to deliver your message accompanied by beautiful flowers. Congratulations Aunt Jessica!
Fantastic experience: Harry picked up the phone after hours. He was very thoughtful in helping me select the appropriate Tea Garden Plant arrangement and message for a team member who just lost their father. He sent a picture of the arrangement this morning - it is beautiful. I appreciate his willingness to thoughtfully spend time with me, after hours, to take care of a dear team member and friend in their time of need.
Scott, Thanks for your kind words. We try to do all we can for our customers and appreciate when they are time to share how that makes them feel.
Fantastic experience: They never disappoint from travel to floral arrangements. When we came in on our anniversary to plan a trip we were greeted not only with a stunning floral arrangement (an order that I had just left to their discretion), but also a bottle of non alcoholic bubbly with 2 glasses, to enjoy while planning our trip together. Definitely service without compare!
Thanks for taking time to share your experiences. We love helping people smile at home with flowers and help them smile as they let us help them plan their next vacation.
Positive experience: Great staff. Be going on our1st trip with them or I would have gave 5.
Fantastic experience: This is a hard story to believe but it is a true one and one well worth sharing many years after “always” using the Wishing Well for my travels and special flower requests, but here goes…The Wishing Well is so well connected in the “special events category” that they even contracted a cruise ship line in FL for us many years ago and had the captain hold the boat just to wait for almost a full hour later to leave the FL port for our Caribbean trip because the airline and taxis had delayed our arrival. How many people do you think could get on the phone and hold up a cruise line that’s on a tight schedule for you? I do…”The Wishing Well” and Harry and Terrie, because they make your wishes come true! Oh, and they “always” have the freshest, most beautiful arrangement of flowers (from their gifted floral designers) for Valentine’s Day and/or Mother’s Day, and even call and remind me sometimes when I’ve forgotten to contact them. Kudos to The Wishing Well! I love working with them!
Thanks for the kind words Randy. We love our loyal customers and appreciate your continued trust onus over the years.
Fantastic experience: The Wishing Well staff always go the extra mile to help fill my crazy requests in a short amount of time.
Renee - thanks for your loyalty and trust. We'll keep working hard to keep earning both!
Fantastic experience: I called to get some flowers sent out to give my sick and disappointed niece at JMU a little lift…and it would have missed the point if it wasn’t delivered same day. They were obviously full for deliveries that day but Harry didn’t turn me away and instead listened to my situation, asked if I was flexible and walked to what I assume was some pre made arrangements and patiently described several to me and we quickly landed on one! We got the card filled out and off it went! They sent me a photo of the arrangement and it was perfect and I shortly got a smiling picture of my niece with her flowers! So grateful that Harry was patient, listened and came up with a solution! Will definitely shop there again!
Kelly, thanks for sharing this. It’s our mission to put smiles on peoples’ faces and I’m thankful for the opportunity you gave us to put smiles on your niece’s and yours. Hope to be able to serve you again.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful flowers! Great experience
Thanks for the kind words Andrea. We appreciate feedback from the senders and recipients of our flowers and promise to work just as hard to please you with your next order.
Fantastic experience: My mom's birthday is the day after valentine's day so it's difficult to find a great birthday bouquet around this time. The wishing well personally contacted me to let me know that they could do something special for her. She loved them. Thank you!
Joe - thanks for taking time to post a review. We love hearing happy stories like yours and look forward to serving you again.
Fantastic experience: The flowers I order were perfect! The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Thanks for letting folks know about your experience. We’re honored to have been able to serve you.
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a last minute special anniversary gift for my boys who live in Harrisonburg VA. Because I live in Gettysburg, I was unable to shop in person. Wishing Well was recommended, and I am glad I called. After taking the time to listen to my situation, Harry made some wonderful recommendations and even took the time to send images so I could make a decision. I selected the beautiful chimes and roses which were later beautifully wrapped and delivered same day during a very busy time. In our fast paced world that sometimes seems void of customer service, The Wishing Well really cared. Thank you for taking the time.
Thanks for sharing your experience Leslie. We love having happy customers like you.
Fantastic experience: I ordered flowers online, just before closing time on Friday, in hopes that they could be delivered to a friend on Saturday. Shortly after placing my order, Harry at the shop called me to say they were out of a particular flower in the arrangement, but offered to make a similar substitution. He also offered to send a picture of the arrangement before delivery. The arrangement was gorgeous and it was delivered to my friend in Harrisonburg promptly on Saturday morning. The friend let me know it was one of the nicest arrangements she’d ever received! I wish I could find this type of customer service at my local florist!
Thanks for your kind words JS. We do all we can to keep our customers happy and looking good! Glad we could help and hope you give us the opportunity to help again.
Fantastic experience: Excelente
Thanks Samari, glad they made you smile. That’s always our goal.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly was a joy talking to them
Thanks for taking time to share your experience. We enjoyed serving you and look forward to our next opportunity!
Fantastic experience: The Wishing Well's customer service is exceptional. My family needed to have a funeral arrangement sent to a memorial service with less than a day's notice. When I called, Terry had informed me the florists had left for the day, but she would reach out and have someone call me. Thank you, Terry, for your outstanding customer service. Harry then called me and promised he would be able to have an arrangement created in the morning and have it to the church in time for the memorial. A thousand thank-yous to Harry for delivering on that promise and creating a beautiful floral arrangement. And for sending a picture, that I could share with my family here in the Philadelphia/New Jersey region. I have family in the Staunton/Harrisonburg, Virginia, area and will definitely be a future patron of The Wishing Well.
We appreciate your kind words and are thankful for the opportunity to serve you. Funerals are the last opportunity to send special thoughts and messages to those we love and their family. We take this opportunity seriously and we’re glad we could help you..
Fantastic experience: The customer service was outstanding. They took the time to understand what I wanted and made some wonderful suggestions. The arrangement was beautiful. They emailed a picture of the arrangement. I wish more florist would send pictures.
Thanks for your review. We know that pictures are especially important when you’re sending flowers from afar. We’re proud of our work and are always happy to share photos so you know that you got your money’s worth when you send flowers.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience, extremely helpful and kind
Thanks for your kind words Logan. We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve you
Fantastic experience: Hands down some of the best people I have dealt with. I called in from Kentucky wanting to have some flowers delivered to my Mom. They were VERY friendly, answered all of my questions, they didn’t fuss when I had to call back and change the delivery address. They even emailed me photos of the arrangement after it was completed. Beautiful work, actually made my Mom cry when she received them. Highly recommend!
Tashia - Thanks for your kind review. We love that we were able to put smiles on your and your Mom's faces - especially during Mother's Day weekend!
Fantastic experience: Nice place. Good people !!!!
Thanks for your kind words Lewis. We look forward to serving you again.
Fantastic experience: I didn't mean to put the one star, sorry lol!
Brian, it's unclear what your review was based on. It appears the last time we served you was last October. If you ever have a problem or issue, please contact us so that we have an opportunity to address your concern. - Harry (co-owner)
Fantastic experience: My family booked a vacation to Jamica amd our room didnt have working AC. The team at the Wishing Well responded quickly and effectively to get us a different room in a sold out resort.
Thanks for the kind note. We’re here to help our clients when they need us. Why take a vacation if you’re not going to enjoy it?
Fantastic experience: I use this company to deliver flowers to my girlfriend to celebrate our 7 year anniversary. The website was easy to use and they delivered them within a reasonable time! 10 out of 10!
Thanks Cody. We’re happy to be able to put smiles on your girlfriend’s and your faces.
Fantastic experience: Their customer service is phenomenal and I know the flowers are beautiful. This is a wonderful local business and I will be sure to use then any time I need the perfect arrangement. I was incredibly impressed with my experience and wholeheartedly recommend The Wishing Well for any and all occassions.
Thanks Matthew. We hope we have an opportunity to serve you again.
Fantastic experience: Harry and Terri are great can not say enough about them . Great help and great flower arrangements
We appreciate your repeat business Roy and will keep doing our best to keep you and your sweet wife smiling and happy.
Fantastic experience: I called for a delivery of flowers to our daughter who had just completed her last college exam of her 4 years and the flowers were beautiful, very reasonably priced and delivered within minutes! Staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with The Wishing Well! Harry was very courteous and helpful! The bouquet was perfect. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service and beautiful product! I called the day of, out of state and just a few hours before I needed my item delivered for my niece’s birthday. They were so helpful in giving me options to make her gift perfect. They sent me pictures of the item before delivery and it was delivered right on time! The balloons and flowers were extra special for a little girls 6th birthday!
Negative experience: We ordered One boutonniere and one corsage out of white lilies! Microsize head to Lilly’s they both were dead within 3 hours it was $42 worth of flowers definitely did not get our moneys worth ! They were pretty but skimpy !
Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently booked a trip to Athens Greece with Terry. I have always wanted to go to Greece and when my husband heard the Wishing Well advertise a flash sale, he jumped on it. Terry did a wonderful job of making all our arrangements from flights, hotels and excursions. The hotel was lovely and perfectly located for the attractions that we wanted to see. Terry prepared a great travel info packet with all our plans, great information, restaurant suggestions and attractions. She even put it into an app for our phones. We had a fabulous time in Greece. Thank you Terry for helping us fulfill a long time dream. Ken and Diana Crider
Fantastic experience: Muy buen servicio,flores hermosa, definitivamente volvere a usar sus servicio.
Fantastic experience: These folks were beyond helpful when I got caught in traffic. They had my order ready a stayed late till I could get there!!!! Highly recommended!!!!
Positive experience: Travel agent was very efficient.
Fantastic experience: Terrie planned a great river cruise for us with Viking. On our way overseas we had flight problems. Even though it was Saturday we called her because we had a boat to catch. She was there to take our several panicked calls and got it all straightened out! We had a great vacation with lots of little "perks" we otherwise would not have gotten. Cannot say enough good things!
Positive experience: Good service. Price seemed a little high but I haven't bought flowers in a long time.
Fantastic experience: Today was my first visit to the With Well. I met with Harry who was very patient and very helpful in finding the right arrangement of beautiful flowers for my beautiful wife. I will be a repeat customer to just get my wife flowers to just say "I Love You". Thank you Harry for your patience and your help.
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience at this agency.
Fantastic experience: The Wishing Well, in the person of Harry, went to a lot of extra trouble to get flowers to my girlfriend on Valentine's Day, when it turned out the local Cville folks doing the delivery wouldn't be able to get them where I'd originally hoped. Super conscientious, a pleasure to deal with. Very highly recommended. I'd happily use the Wishing Well again. And the flowers were beautiful.
Negative experience: VERY DISAPPOINTED. Ordered Valentine’s Day Flowers for my daughter two weeks ahead of time. Was told they would call to coordinate delivery with her. Delivery person left her a message and dropped them off at the mailroom (a mile from her dorm). Not the impression I was trying to make. Spoke with shop and was told that JMU policy is that they cannot deliver to freshman students. That was not disclosed to me when I made the order.
Fantastic experience: They have the nicest arrangements. If they have something put together but you'd like it in your own design they can do it. They can also order specific flowers for an arrangement for you.
Fantastic experience: Terri Dean was very compassionate and understanding. She was helpful in what we were asking her to do for our funeral. Would recommend The Wishing Well any time.
Fantastic experience: This place was great! I gave thrm a dollar amount that I wanted to spend and inturn received a wonderful bouquet for my daughter's seniors recognition game! I would use them again. The staff was super friendly!
Thanks for the kind review Nicky. The Wishing Well (formerly Artistic Florist) is proud to help honor great students. Congratulations to your daughter!
Fantastic experience: Great help!
Fantastic experience: Five beautiful flower arrangements delivered for the funeral of my father on June 22. Each was fresh, thoughtfully arranged, and complimented the church so well. Thanks Wishing Well. We'll do business with you anytime.
Negative experience: Ordered and paid for flowers for prom. Showed them a picture of what we wanted. The flowers were nothing like we ordered and was told we was just out of luck and did nothing to try and help us out. Would not recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Great Place! Great People! Great Flowers!
Fantastic experience: Great customer service
Fantastic experience: They are awesome! Pulled us out of jam on a Saturday! Will always get our business!
Fantastic experience: Wonderfully helpful with a last minute order! Thank you!
We're always there to help make you look great. We hope that your corsage pleased your son's date. The Wishing Well (formerly Artistic Florist)
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Very good service and fresh flowers evrytime!
Positive experience: Is quite expensive but high quality.
Negative experience: For the second time a poor arrangement. Will not use again.
Fantastic experience: I went to The Wishing Well just for flower service, not knowing that they had other services. Right from the start, Terrie said they were not just a "florist," and they liked to really cater their services to the individual. They were wonderful to work with, and very flexible on price, flowers, and anything else. I went to Terrie not having a clear vision of the flowers and decorations for my wedding, and she really helped to shape it into something beautiful. From the centerpieces to the bridal bouquets, she worked with me to make it perfect. When you spend some time talking with her, you can tell she really cares about the people she's working with. That was also clear when she got emotional when delivering the flowers the day of the wedding. If you get the chance to work with The Wishing Well for your special event, I would recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Love the Wishing Well, Terrie Dean organized and "handled" my enitre wedding, it was gorgeous, and as stress free as it could be :) We also use her for office needs, parties, catering, birthdays, etc. Everything they do for us is beautiful and very little to do on our parts. Love them!
