Jennifer did such an incredible job with our wedding flowers! Our first call together, I told her how I like neutral colors and Boho chic decor, and with that limited information, she was able to create the most gorgeous ceremony and table settings that was exactly what I envisioned. I don’t know how she did it, but she read my mind and made it even better than what I could have imagined. Jennifer is also just a kind and sweet person, it was such a joy working with her!
Jennifer at Busy Bee's Floral is an incredible person and floral designer. Throughout our long wedding planning process due to COVID, Jennifer was communicative, thoughtful, and proactive. She created organized and thorough floral plans, adapted whenever we had a change of heart, and offered her incredible floral expertise when we needed it the most. She even met up with us early one morning at the San Francisco Flower Market to look at flowers together and start to build our vision. Jennifer has fair prices and truly went above and beyond for our wedding. Jennifer also went on a site visit to our venue and helped us visualize what would be in different areas of the space. She partnered and communicated well with our month-of coordinator, and was an absolute delight to work with. We are so happy we worked with her and loved every minute of the planning process with her!
I hired Jen (Busy Bees) to do florals for my wedding in San Francisco, September 2019. Jen is simply a master at her craft. I decided to go with Jen because I heard strong recommendations about how she goes above & beyond for her clients, and after I started following her on Instagram, I was totally sold. Jen comes up with such novel arrangements that are unique, whimsical, and creative.
My specifications for Jen were relatively uninspired… I have boring taste :). I asked for neutral colors, lots of greenery, etc. Jen asked me just the right questions, and was able to take my relatively boring request and transform it into the most amazing florals that I never could have even dreamed up. Yes, my bouquet was neutral, but it also had incredible golden roses (inspired by our wedding venue), anemones, and even mint! The way it came together was so dreamy, and I got so many compliments from my bridesmaids, family, and wedding guests.
Further, Jen is such a sweetheart, easy to work with, and accommodating. I would highly recommend Jen & her business Busy Bees for any wedding or other event!
I am blown away by the incredible work Jennifer did for our wedding last month! She went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. My bouquet was full and whimsical, and our arch flowers had a gorgeous variety of blooms which included giant peonies, snap peas, blue thistle, and delphinium (to name a few).
Jennifer graciously dropped my bouquet off early so I could have it during my first look (which was in a different location), and made sure everything was set up on time. She even added some details that we had not previously spoken about, like a sweet little bouquet in the bathroom, and extra greenery on the outdoor swing and our sweetheart table.
I can't recommend Jennifer more highly; she is a pleasure to work with and a gifted florist!
AMAZING services, not only did Jen sit down with us & get to know us she really took that meeting and delivered. My wedding was a dream, never have I seen such attention to detail. Thank you for the ribbon suggestions and doing the very best job! I highly recommend Jennifer from busy bees floral!
Absolutely loved the arrangements that Jennifer made for our wedding. I basically told her the names of some flowers that I love and let her run with it - and I loved everything she came up with. We held our wedding in an old military building, so it was a very masculine space which needed a little softening. Jenn did an amazing job bringing the venue to life with her gorgeous arrangements, candles and design. She was easy to work with, responsive to my many questions, and her taste in flowers is impeccable and above all, very unique. And when the wind picked up right before our outdoor ceremony, she was right there to putty down the arrangements so that nothing would blow over. So happy I put my trust in her for this special day.
We were so happy with our wedding flowers--they turned out so beautiful and really made our photos special. Jennifer had come highly recommended by our wedding coordinator, and we were so glad we went with her. Jennifer does a great job of listening to what sort of look/theme you're going for and providing a really consultative experience. Would 100% choose her again if we had to do it all over.
I cannot recommend Jennifer and Busy Bee's enough. My husband and I worked with her for flowers for our wedding and rehearsal lunch. Everything from our first phone call with Jennifer through both events was perfection. She listened wonderfully to our vision, was very easy to communicate with, and her passion is contagious! Our flowers were beautiful, matched the vibe of our wedding perfectly, and I would not hesitate to call Jennifer again for any floral needs. She ROCKS!!! Thanks again, Jennifer!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jennifer!!!! ***** Stars
Planning Time:
Jennifer took the time to understand the theme/vibe of our wedding. My wife and Jennifer had a phone conversation and email exchanges during the initial planning process. She put so much effort in our meeting at the San Francisco Flower Mart. She worked at getting a feel of what we like as a couple. Not only did she take time to understand what type of flowers/overall look we were going for - she took extra effort to give us ideas on matching vase options. We felt like she "got us".
She was very responsive via text and email. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable with the options that we picked as well as giving us advice along the way. As stressful as a wedding planning can be, we were not worried about Jennifer and our flower decisions. Jennifer's attention to planning details to us as a client was second to none.
Wedding Day:
The arrangements were more beautiful than expected. We didn't have to worry about her timing, setup, breakdown, etc. - it was flawless. My wife's bouquet was beyond her imagination and was picture perfect. Everything from the groomsmen boutonnieres, bridesmaid's bouquets, center pieces and overall wedding pieces (cake, aisle chairs, misc., etc.) were amazing. We couldn't have ask for a more perfect floral vendor for our special day.
Conclusion:
If you want to an easy going, friendly and professional floral vendor then Jennifer is the one. If we could give 10 starts on yelp we would. Pricing was fair, service was excellent and the end experience was second to none!
Thank you Jennifer to adding to an already perfect day!
We loved working with Jennifer! She helped us do floral arrangements for my parents 50th anniversary. We did vibrant sunflowers, purple hydrangea, and lime green foliage - perfect for my parents colorful lives! Jennifer was very professional, timely, and her price matched her quote. Highly recommend!
Busy Bee Floral Design is the BEST! I had a surprise wedding. Yes, a surprise. Jen was amazing. Because it was surprise I didn't tell anyone (vendors included) that it was my actual wedding. When I did come clean with my secret Jen was so supportive and excited. She didn't bat an eye at my last minute additions and requests. And the flowers made the scene! They were gorgeous! On the main table there was a fabulous eucalyptus table runner measuring more than 36' with flowers scattered throughout. And the other table arrangements were bright and happy. She did flower crowns for the flower girls, boutonnieres and bouquets for my bridesmaids and myself. Jen was forward thinking, she would check-in with me about potential needs (that probably would have escaped me). I was able to use Busy Bee for two other parties around my wedding as well. Each time the flowers were special and unique to the theme of the party and exactly what I had envisioned. Jen is so invested and easy to work with. I was able to pull off the surprise but it wouldn't have been as beautiful if it wasn't for us Bee Florals. She is top of the line! I recommend Busy Bee to ALL!
Jennifer was everything we could of asked for in a florist and more! She was incredibly easy to work with, always responsive, flexible and positive, and she went to whatever lengths it took to implement our vision, even when it meant using a forklift to hang flowers from the ceiling. Most importantly, the flowers she used were all high-quality, local stems that stayed beautiful all the way through our wedding day, even in the unplanned for 100 degree heat. My only regret is that I couldn’t keep the bouquet alive forever!
From our very first meeting, it was evident that Jennifer was passionate about her work, was willing to take the time to really understand our vision, and knew what she was doing. Her proposal was meticulous and truly transformed our piecemeal vision into a complete floral concept that I couldn’t help but keep looking at. She was faithful to our budget and willing to continuously edit our proposal, even letting us add on church flowers at the last-minute.

We used Busy Bee's Floral Design for my mother-in-law's memorial service in Morgan Hill, California on June 12, 2016. I have to say that working with the designer, Jen Varsanyi was such a pleasure! She listened to what I needed and wanted very carefully, which is very important to me, because I love flowers and I'm pretty particular about what type I want and their colors. Jen and I always seemed to be on the same page from the beginning, because she took the time to understand what I really wanted. All along the way, she took the time to send me pictures and to discuss what she was doing or thinking during the purchasing and design process. She had wonderful ideas and suggestions of her own, as well!! I had seen the pictures she posted of her other floral designs, so I knew I had come to the right place, because she has such talent! Her floral designs are gorgeous and unique; not the usual run-of-the-mill type of arrangements. Her flowers are lush, fresh and opulent! Jen is very easy to talk to and work with. I highly recommend her to anyone who has floral design needs for a special event! Thank you, Jen for your kindness, calm spirit and understanding during this sorrowful time in our family's life. You made a difficult time so much easier for me!! We received so many wonderful comments raving about the beautiful white floral cross and the two arrangements you made for my mother-in-law's memorial service. They were gorgeous!
Jennifer designed and created our wedding flowers and they were stunning, to say the least! I gave her the details of our vision and venue and she executed flawlessly! Everything we planned for was changed the day of due to rain but BusyBee's improvised on the spot and worked magic! You never would have known it hadn't always been planned that way! I would recommend BusyBee and Jennifer to anyone. She's professional and friendly and a talented designer.
I couldn't have been happier with Jennifer and Busy Bee's Florist. From the beginning she was responsive, friendly and willing to work with my last minute changes. She helped me develop my vision when I didn't even know what I wanted. The day of she went the extra mile to make it special and even came up with ideas on how to take full advantage of the arrangements. Highly highly recommend in terms of service, price and quality!
JEN IS MY HERO! I recently got married a couple weeks ago and without her it would have been a mess. I had two obstacles to deal with the day of my wedding: the pouring RAIN and a useless wedding coordinator.
I made the best decision by choosing her as my florist early on. A couple months before the wedding, Jen met with us at the venue and walked us through what was needed to be decorated. My awful coordinator was in the same meeting and didn't even speak a word. That should have been the first indication to fire her. Jen constantly communicated with me with suggestions to make sure my vision was carried out. She always answered my questions within a couple hours and worked so hard to make sure I had the best flowers to choose from. I was a little apprehensive having a November wedding since I didn't think much was in bloom. I was completely wrong. There were so much to choose from. A month before the big day, she took me to the flower mart in SF to pick out flowers. You can absolutely trust her since she has an eye for design. I knew I was in the best hands.
Unfortunately, the day of the wedding it rained prompting us to move the cocktail hour and sign in tables inside. The coordinator was useless. She did not execute the set up and decorations I had in place. Jen was there early with all the arrangements and bouquets. Literally she waited in the rain just to make sure we got our bouquets and boutineers for the pictures before she could head to the church to decorate. While the ceremony was taking, Jen left immediately to get to the reception venue. While my useless coordinator was standing around, Jen ended up setting up majority of the decorations, ie. table runners, chargers, candles.
The flower centerpieces made the room standout!!! My bridesmaids loved their bouquets. All the guests were impressed. She made the prettiest greenery runner for the sweet heart table and made two huge arrangements for the church and later for the reception. She made my wedding stunning! Thank you Jen for making the day less stressful for me!!
Jennifer from Busy Bee's is by far my favorite florist! I am a wedding coordinator and have worked with many different florists and no one compares to her. She is extremely responsive, very creative and cares so much about making her clients happy. She is the hardest worker on wedding days and doesn't stop until everything looks perfect. Her flowers are always totally fresh, full and stunning! My clients and wedding guests always comment how beautiful the flowers are when Jen is the florist. I recommend her to ALL of my brides because her work is flawless, you will not regret hiring her!!
Jennifer was so easy to work with, and totally got my vision even when I wasn't able to fully express it. The flowers for our wedding were stunning and exactly what I wanted, I wished they could have lasted forever, thank goodness for photos. Her team was very professional and I never felt concerned that everything would be taken care of just the way I wanted. I highly recommend Busy Bee's!
Jennifer exceeded my expectations above and beyond every step of the way in creating the flowers for my wedding. I could tell from our first conversation that she was passionate about her work, and when she sent me a proposal with inspiration pictures I could tell she not only “got” my vision but was a true professional willing to customize her design to match my budget. I loved showing off her photos of potential flowers and arrangements to my friends and family! One of my favorite parts of working with Jennifer was visiting the San Francisco Flower Market with her and my fiance. All together, we narrowed down our exact colors and design and had a great time. She was gracious, flexible and communicative even with last-minute changes about table sizes and Bride/Groom chair decorations. Her work speaks for itself, but I cannot recommend Jennifer and Busy Bee enough to anyone looking for an excellent wedding florist.
