    Most amazing florist and wedding coordinator!!!

    We chose Sonja and Black Dahlia upon our first meeting. Once we met, we knew Sonja and the team at Black Dahlia would help make our daughter’s dream wedding a reality! The flowers were only the beginning of what Sonja did for us. ( Believe me they were incredible) Her wedding coordinator service was over the top! My husband initially did not feel this was a service we needed, after the wedding he commented that was some of the best money spent! Sonja helped us finalize things with other vendors, handle tip money, help organize day of activities and addressed any issues that arose. Thank goodness her assistant was a seamstress that fixed a bridesmaids gown that wouldn’t zipper! I do need to mention flowers as I am uploading pictures. They were over the top! She transformed The Mansion at Oyster Bay into a holiday wonderland!!!

    Excellent!

    I used Black Dahlia as part of the Lessings package at the Pavilion at Sunken Meadow. I didn’t get any upgrades but added some centerpieces. Everything was beautiful!

    Most beautiful wedding flowers

    Sheryl and the team at Black Dahlia did such an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding. From the start, we explained our vision and she immediately understood and captured it perfectly. She was sweet and easy to work with and wanted to make us happy. The fall colors and especially the vines covered with flowers on the arbor where we got married were so gorgeous. We absolutely recommend!

    Most amazing experience. We love you Black Dahlia!

    I can't put into words the gratitude my husband and I have for Sonja, Mark, and the Black Dahlia team. They made our wedding (plus rehearsal dinner and bridal shower) unbelievably beautiful and SEAMLESS. Sonja is so talented and professional (not to mention extremely hard working and helpful) - the second we walked into Black Dahlia she made us feel comfortable and taken care of. We got married at Oheka Castle in October 2022, and we still receive countless compliments on the floral arrangements from our guests. The flowers were elegant, timeless, and exactly what I was looking for. I was blown away, and even more blown away with how efficient and easy they made the entire planning process -- they took care of everything. Do not think twice before hiring Black Dahlia - they are simply the best. We could not be more grateful. THANK YOU Sonja and Mark for making our special day absolutely perfect!

    Black Dahlia is great!

    We loved working with Sonja and the team at Black Dahlia! They truly made our floral visions come to life for our special day. They were kind, patient and very helpful, providing suggestions and creativity with what we needed and wanted while staying in our budget. We received so many compliments on how absolutely gorgeous our flowers were. We are so thankful for Black Dahlia and would highly recommend them for any floral needs!

    Beautiful Flowers

    Affordable prices, stunning centerpieces. I know nothing about flowers but provided a mood board with pictures of different arrangements and color scheme, and they made my vision come to life. They were very accommodating with adjustments given our the venue change. Sonya was very helpful with suggestions for our new space. They repurposed some of my ceremony flowers for the reception. I have never really been much of a flower person, but the flowers really added such a beautiful pop of color to our day. Anyone who is looking for another great vendor with KIND people with affordable prices, Black Dahlia is a great option.

    Could not be happier!!

    Sonja and Black Dahlia were phenomenal to work with for our 5/20/22 wedding! From the moment I first spoke to Sonja over the phone, I knew we had to have them be the florist for our wedding! Extremely detailed and they really brought my vision to life! The flowers, centerpieces and bouquets were STUNNING! They provided 3 unique centerpieces for our wedding ceremony. We really could not be happier! Highly recommend them and are definitely using them for any and all future events I have! They are the best of the best!!

    Brought my vision to life

    Sonja was so sweet and helpful from the very first meeting, she even helped me out and put in a word with my venue to allow me to use open flame candelabras I had already purchased. We also had a change last minute when I lost a bridesmaid and Sonja worked with me and was able to use the flowers for other decor so I didn’t have an extra bouquet. Our wedding was beauty and the beast, Disney themed and overrun with beautiful roses from Black Dahlia 🌹

    Wonderful for TWO Weddings

    Sonja and the Black Dahlia team are truly wonderful! They provided beautiful flowers for my small, intimate wedding in May 2021 and large wedding in September 2021. For September, they also put up incredible ceiling installations that were a literal dream come true. They were so kind and easy to work with, prompt, professional, generous, flexible, and highly talented. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

    Highly Recommended Florist

    I was totally blown away with the work Black Dahlia did for our April 30, 2021 wedding! For the initial consult, Sonja was on the phone with me for almost an hour discussing each flower that would go into the bouquets and centerpieces and going over my pinterest board. They really helped me stay within my budget, and were flexible with the contracts through covid and all the changing rules. The flowers the day of were perfect and fresh and were exactly what we were looking for!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Black Dahlia was absolutely amazing to work with. After having a troubling experience with a previous florist, I came to Sonja looking for her help less than 2 months before my wedding date, 12.21.19. At our first meeting, I described what I wanted, Sonja went into the back and came out a few minutes later with EXACTLY what I wanted and more. She went above and beyond to make my vision come true. Not only did she help me with my flowers, but she also perfected my place card table and was an overall help with any wedding questions I had. When I saw my flowers for the first time on my wedding day, I could've believe how perfect they really were. Thank you to Black Dahlia for being so wonderful to work with! If there is any question of who to work with, Black Dahlia should be your #1 choice.

    Wonderful experience, beautiful flowers, great team

    Working with Sonja was a delight. She completely got my vision and everything came out perfectly the day of. The entry piece, our bouquets, the table designs, and every other little detail throughout the venue...it was all perfect. The final look of our king's table for dinner completely exceeded my expectations and I am still in awe of how it came out. Highly recommend this vendor for your floral & decor needs!!

    Beautiful arrangments professional service

    We would like to thank Sonja at the Black Dahlia Florist for preparing the beautiful flower arrangements for our wedding. We are extremely happy with how they looked at the reception hall. She helped us figure out what the arrangement would look like and stay within our budget. She delivered the bouquet and Boutonnieres exactly on time the morning of the wedding. We highly recommend Black Dahlia Florist to everyone!

    Great Experience

    I had a wonderful experience with Black Dahlia. Highly recommend them! This florist was included in my package at the Pavilion at Sunken Meadow. I’m not at all knowledgeable when it comes to flowers and had no idea what I wanted. They were so patient and helpful in helping me decide. They were also flexible with what to include in the package since my choices were pretty simple. When the flowers arrived the day of my wedding, I was extremely pleased. The bouquets and centerpieces were perfect, delivery was on time, and overall it was a great experience with them.

    Black Dahlia

    Black Dahlia was one of our preferred vendors and after seeing Sonja's work, I knew we had to work with her! After showing Sonja pinterest pictures she captured my vision for our centerpieces and bouquets exactly!! I loved my bouquet so much, that I am getting it preserved and my husbands boutonniere made into an ornament. You will not be disappointed with Black Dahlia!!

    Gorgeous flowers!

    I absolutely loved how the flowers turned out for our wedding! Sheryl was easy to work with and quickly understood what I was looking for in my wedding vision. The final outcome was more beautiful than I even expected. We received so many compliments about the flowers and centerpieces. I wanted a romantic feeling for our wedding and the flowers definitely made this happen. The pictures speak for themselves! Flowers are costly, but I think it was worth it and their pricing is fair for the area. Overall, highly recommended!

    Amazing is an understatement!

    Black Dahlia completely exceeded mine and my husbands expectations! They truly helped make our day so special and stress-free! From deciding on which greenery and flowers would work best for our winter wedding, to setting up the church and the reception room, and to making our cake look even more beautiful – they really go above and beyond. It is so important that you and your florist are on the same page and everyone at Black Dahlia is willing to work hand-in-hand throughout the process. They were so flexible and kind enough to let us use our own lanterns to help us stay within our budget. There were no issues coordinating a drop-off time and date for all of our items. They were even so kind to save one of the wreaths from our weddings when they found out our venue had disposed of the others AND they even created a small arrangement for us to keep of all of our greenery and flowers! I really can't say enough good words about Black Dahlia. My friend recommended them to me and I will continue to pass the word along, because they truly are amazing!

    Sonja = Majestic Floral Angel

    Where do we begin.

    The experience my husband Joe and I had with Sonja at Black Dahlia was nothing short of a dream. When we started our wedding process, we had so much anxiety around how we wanted our day to look. We started with just white flowers and some greenery. We had our first appointment with Sonja and right off the bat we vibed with her. She was so patient in trying to understand how we wanted our day to look while also helping us in checking some other things off our list. We left that appointment feeling super connected and trusted her with making our day perfect.

    We hit that point that I think every couple does, Oh shit I don’t know if thats what we actually want! We made another appointment with Sonja, she will do ANYTHING to accommodate you within reason, and we workshopped for almost 3 hours. We left that appointment JAZZED about how our day would look now that we got over the “no color” hump.

    Cut too our wedding day. When I tell you our day looked like a dream because of Sonja I don’t say this lightly. She met us at our hotel with floral we needed for photos, she arrived at the venue early, and made sure everything was perfect. When Joe and I walked into our reception space we nearly passed out. We were moved to tears and I couldn’t believe how absolutely PERFECT Sonja made our day. Our guests kept saying our wedding was elegant, classy, not overdone and the word magical kept coming up.

    Sonja’s patience is remarkable and her attention to detail is unmatched. We have her to thank for making our wedding look and feel like a dream. Pinterest aint got NOTHING on our girl Sonja! Big shout out to her hubby who also was a big part of the day supporting setup! We loved our whole experience with her and the team at Black Dahlia, will recommend to all I know!

    Mucho love
    Jamie and Joe 11/11/18 (the total pains in the butt)

    I don't do flowers but I LOVED these

    I had no idea where to start when it came to flowers. I am one of those people who passes by a bouquet and it dies so I stay away. We met with Sheryl on my cousins recommendation and all I told her was that I wanted fluffy and white but simple. She showed me a couple of pictures and we agreed to the most reasonable floral price I'd found so far. Come wedding day and Sheryl herself drops off my bouquets and boutonnieres and I am in LOVE. They were perfect. We get to the venue and they had decorated the archway of our ceremony spot along with our tables so beautifully I was in shock. I could not recommend Black Dahlia enough. They did amazing work and I could not be happier!

    We used Black Dahlia for our September 7, 2018 wedding and it’s the best decision we made. I’m not a flower person in general and had no idea what I liked nor did I have any floral decor vision for my wedding. But Black Dahlia came to the rescue and the results were stunning...even our very seasoned photographer said it was the most beautiful they had seen in that space. Do yourselves a huge favor and let Black Dahlia take the stress out of cultivating your floral decor.

    Gorgeous flowers!

    It has been 2 months since my wedding and I am still receiving compliments on my gorgeous wedding flowers! When we went in for our initial appointment, we were greeted warmly and shown examples of several different options. Bouquet samples were put together on the spot to give us an idea of what our final product would look like. The staff at Black Dahlia are very knowledgeable. On the day of our wedding, our flowers were delivered on time and I was blown away by how gorgeous they were! My bridal bouquet was perfect, and exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend working with Black Dahlia!

    Thank you to Sonja who did an amazing job on our wedding day! The church decorations, bouquets, boutonnieres and main reception flowers were beautiful. Everything was so fresh and was delivered in a timely manner.

    Sonja was such a pleasure to work with. She helps you visualize the arrangements by picking out different flowers in the shop and asking for your suggestions and opinions. It was a great experience especially for a visual person like myself. She was patient and made the process so simple especially with a few last minute minor additions and changes. It was great to work with a small local shop and not some big flower factory. They pay close attention to detail, work well with their clients and do a terrific job!
