I visited this shop today, in my ongoing search for the right florist to hire for my wedding. I met with one of the staff for a consultation. She was friendly, and seemed eager to get started. I described for her what I already have in mind…More »
I could not be happier with my experience at this quaint (though not to be underestimated) little hidden gem of a shop. I met with one of the staff members this morning, after viewing their work online and liking what I saw, to discuss floral…More »
I have to say that I've been nothing but happy with the quality of service and product that I've found at this store. I've been back a few times since my last review, with and without Mike, to select, order, and pick up our wedding invitations, and…More »

I've had my hair styled twice at First Choice, both times for weddings in which I was a bridesmaid, and I'm almost certain that if I'd listened hard enough I could have heard the sound of my hair gently weeping for what it had been put through. Or…More »
Definitely one of the more expensive jewellry stores around, this is a classy place. Being a bit on the clumsy, uncoordinated side, I'm just happy I managed to get in and out of this beautiful shop with both the merchandise and my credit card…More »
