James Cress Florist, Your Local Long Island City Florist

The flowers we ordered for my sister in law’s surprise 60th birthday were absolutely gorgeous!! They looked so beautiful! Thank you so much!

Brandon is a creative genius! It amazed me how he could make simple designs so tasteful and elegant. Also, elegant doesn’t need to be outrageously expensive. Every step of the way, Brandon advised us how we could keep costs down while still maintaining a beautiful, classy presentation. My wedding was last week and I am still being complimented on the flowers.

Everything went extremely well. No issues whatsoever. Brandon went above and beyond to make sure that all went smoothly. He’s amazing and we’re thankful to him for his attention to detail about our wedding!

I ordered flowers for my best friend in LI…I live in CT and found this florist online. Woman who helped me was WONDERFUL! Communicated to me through text and email until flowers were delivered. They were exactly what I wanted for my friend!

I wanted to send a really special gift to my boss who was retiring. I decided on a Peace Lily plant - it would last so much longer than a bouquet of flowers. I've been a customer of James Cress for many years and have never been disappointed. So, I was sure that the plant would be absolutely beautiful. And it was !!! You can't match the quality anywhere else. Thank you again, James Cress. You never disappoint !

I live out of state and have used James Cress a few times to send flowers to a friend. Nice arrangements and quality service.

I remembered this florist because I got my wedding flowers here 16 years ago!! I had called everywhere local to me in Selden last minute when 1800 flowers screwed me for a corsage I ordered for my daughter for her formal. No one could make me a corsage it was too last minute. I called James cress not only were the day no nice on the phone but super accommodating. I ordered a corsage at 8am and got it at 2pm. It was beautiful and perfect. They literally saved the day!! Highly highly recommend

Everyone was extremely nice & very helpful! The arrangement was gorgeous!! It was exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend James Cress to anyone looking for a beautiful arrangement.

The BEST!!! Dawn and Brandon were extremely helpful and made my vision come to life. They perfected my color palette for our wedding in the bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony space. Through the entire process, James Cress was accommodating and listened to anything I asked for. Overall an amazing experience working together and added so much to our day. It was beautiful thanks to them.

It was a real pleasure to work with you James Cress Florist! The birthday bouquet that I ordered is more beautiful I supposed it’ll be and it was delivered on time, even I gave you a wrong address, you managed to be delivered in good condition and in time!!! The bouquet was a joy for the celebrated person! I’ll come back to you with the next celebration! Thank you all for your professionalism! E

Once again, the designers at James Cress knocked it out of the ballpark! A most beautiful arrangement brightened up the hospital room of my friend. Absolutely stunning.....as always! Thank you!

Ordered a dozen roses for my wife on her birthday. They delivered same day and the flowers and the arrangement were beautiful! They may have been more then some internet flower companies, but you get what you pay for. My wife was very happy. I will definitely use them again.

Highly recommend James Cress Florist!! During our first meeting we told them what we were looking for, but when they showed me an example of the centerpieces, it was just too big for my liking. I told them & right away they fixed it up to what we wanted & it was absolute perfection. Mine & my bridesmaids’ bouquets were beautiful as well. They are very responsive & easy to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, we had flowers delivered to the church, the hotel we were getting ready at & the venue.. and there were no issues with the deliveries, which I appreciated very much. Again, highly recommend James Cress Florist!!!

I just moved to Mount Sinai. I had to order flowers for my best friends 50th anniversary. I met with Caroline. She was absolutely wonderful. I showed her a picture of what I wanted. She made the most amazing arrangements for me. I will recommend these to everyone and will be using them for all my future needs. I’m telling you, do go anytime else. You’ll be so happy you did.

I remember when I was younger my parents always going to James crest and time and time again I understand why. I’ve always used James crest throughout all there locations moves and they have always delivered on quality customer service. I’ve tried those discount/bargain flower services and have been as satisfied as when I use James crest l.

Thank you so much!!! They are absolutely beautiful. You continue to live up to your outstanding reputation. You’re simply the best.

Brandon does outstanding work!!! They r very professional, nice n understand what u want. My wedding flowers r going to be amazingly gorgeous. Those r pics of how my centerpieces r goung to looks, it has my colors, its beautiful, simple n elegant. So happy

Barbara and Brandon were such a pleasure to work with for my wedding. They worked with my busy schedule when I had to drop off spheres that I bought/made to use for the centerpieces. Everything came out beautiful and it was amazingly priced compared to other florists who were giving the same flowers for less quality. Everything was beautifully and perfectly made to fit my vision. Would recommend them to anyone planning any event!

Live in Delaware and not familiar with florists in the area. I am so happy I randomly called this florist. I received excellent customer service when I called in my order and the recipient of the floral arrangement could not have been happier!

Wow! I cannot express how amazing the entire experience with James Cress Florist was! Extremely accommodating, excellent customer service, took great care to see my vision through. Ready on time, and the arrangement was absolutely gorgeous! Although it may be slightly expensive, the value and quality of both the experience and the final product was totally worth it!

Absolutely incredible down to every single detail. Brandon is the best florist I’ve ever worked with and he made my wedding flowers beyond stunning!!

The team at James Cress is amazing! They are extremely friendly and helpful while making the most beautiful arrangements. Their creativity is next level and they always exceed my expectations when bringing my vision to life.

I ordered two separate sympathy arrangements from James Cress Florist recently. The displays were stunning, exactly what I wanted and were sent promptly. If you want quality at reasonable prices, James Cress is the best florist around.

They created a beautiful floral arrangement & boutonnieres. Also the staff was kind when handling a last minute addition to the order during a busy time for them. I definitely recommend them.

I am so moved by the most beautiful funeral arrangement that the floral artists at James Cress Florist in Smithtown created! It is gorgeous! Thank you!

UPDATE! from original review. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the owner and I must say that I am impressed with how much he does care for the happiness of his customers and the quality of the service he and his business can provide. He was completely understanding of the situation and offered to correct it. I can honestly appreciate that kind of attention to his customers. Was given a full refund and definitely changed the way I saw this incident ending. I do honestly recommend there services and they do offer beautiful arrangements. Thank you for everything- James cress florist. "horrible customer service, i placed an online order from them at 8:30 In the morning (on valentine's day) and asked if it could be delivered before 5pm. i have been calling the stores both smithtown and port jefferson all day and no one answers i have also emailed there contact information.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful tribute to my Father Herbert C. Petersen. My father served in the Terryville Volunteer Fire Department for 55 years thus receiving a full honor burial. His casket adorned with beautiful bursts of color too celebrate his life in a spray surrounding his Fire helmet. They were absolutely stunning, a bit breath taking when the Color Guard, Chaplin and brothers came to pay their respects to their dear friend and mentor. My Aunt and I sincerely thank you for your artistry and love of craft that made these flowers so special in what is inevitably is a difficult time.

My Mom LOVED her birthday flowers and Godiva chocolates! She told the delivery person that she was celebrating 29 years with 60 years experience! James Cress ALWAYS makes our occasions extra special!

Excellent customer care and concern! I have been a customer of James Cress for years and they never disappoint. The care and concern provided by their team member Vinny when calling for a funeral arrangement was excellent. Great job James Cress as always!

I ordered their daily deal bouquet and was incredibly impressed with the size and quality of flowers for the price. Arrangement was very modern, tasteful, and seasonally relevant! 13 out of 8, would recommend

Barbara and Brandon over at James Cress Florist are the absolute best!! The flowers for our wedding were just gorgeous and they were able to accommodate my ideas, budget, and last minute additions and changes!! The staff is professional, loving, and you leave their office feeling excited to see what they will create, and calm knowing they are taking care of you!!

James Cress recently provided the arrangements and decor for my wedding last Saturday. Everything came out beautiful and lush. Brandon and Barbara were a pleasure to work with. They really brought my wife's vision to life. The delivery driver was extremely cordial and everything arrived on time as planned. Compared to other florists, James Cress' prices were very competitive for the level of service and products they offered. I definitely recommend James Cress to anyone needing floral arrangements for an event.
