I worked with Phyllis and she made the most beautiful arrangements! She listened to my likes, and dislikes concerning colors and flowers and suggested a combination that I never would have thought of. My bouquet was PERFECT! She was very professional, and I would highly recommend using Eventricity and your florist. Thank you helping make my wedding perfect!

Loved, Loved, Loved, Pam! She is the most creative florist, open to new ideas, and very receptive to the look I wanted to create for my wedding day. I came to her with colors and pictures of floral arrangements that I liked for my wedding day. I was blown away with the sample day she did for us, even though the colors were slightly off we fixed it right away and for the wedding day everything came together so beautifully. I received so many compliments on the elegant center pieces she created for my tables. I really wanted succulents in my bouquet, Pam grew them herself and used them for my flower arrangement. She even kept the stem on them so I would be able to replant them, they are currently in a pot on my kitchen window sill, everyday I see them it reminds me of my wedding day. (I don't know any other florist that would be that thoughtful) Pam goes the extra effort to make sure her brides are receiving the best. She is so friendly and makes you feel so comfortable to work with. Pam was able to stick within my budget and no surprises were added in the final contract. Her ideas, genuine kindness, and effort is completely worth every penny you spend. You will be so satisfied with Pam's unbelievably creative talent to work with flowers. I will absolutely recommend her to family and friends!

Using the word “EXQUISITE” to describe the floral designs coming from Eventricity is an understatement! Phyllis Jablonowski, the owner/designer, is an artist in the true sense of the word. She listened carefully as I described my vision for my perfect wedding and then created floral arrangements and a décor far beyond what I could ever have imagined. On our planner’s recommendation, my mother and I first met with Phyllis many months before the wedding to discuss possibilities and brainstorm some ideas. Soon after, we met again at her studio to see the décor samples and floral mock-ups she had designed. That was it! They were perfect! She had hit the nail on the head for sure.
On the day of the wedding, when we walked into the Reception ballroom, everyone was blown away! A close friend described it as a “wonderland.” Our wedding was in the fall, and though we wanted to incorporate the aura of the season, we did not want autumn leaves and pumpkins in the mix. We were looking for a warm but elegant vintage feel which would make guests feel glamorous yet comfortable at the same time. Phyllis incorporated an eclectic mixture of flowers, pods, cones, berries and plants with various colors and textures, recreating the earthy feel of autumn and abundance. Several varieties of pheasant feathers were used to add a special and unique touch to the décor. Amber lighting created an intimate atmosphere throughout the ballroom, and copper table clothes served as a base for the beautiful decorations. The bouquets and table arrangements were just breathtaking; and each table had its own individual flair which was just what I had hoped for.
For the Ceremony, we wanted a much simpler theme and Phyllis created a very romantic and solemn space with just the right amount of lighting and sparkle for our evening wedding. Lighted lanterns were placed along the aisle and 2 lovely metal trees, embellished with flowers and tea lights looked beautiful surrounding my husband and me as we said our vows.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Eventricity, Phyllis and the amazing staff she works with. Along with being so talented, Phyllis is a dedicated professional and a delightful lady to work with. She took my thoughts and visions and molded them into a magical reality that will never be forgotten!

I don't want this very positive review of Pam to get looked over because I'm too wordy, so I'll give you a long and a short version:
Short Version:
Pam is one of those rare vendors who doesn't take advantage of the fact that brides will do anything to make that ONE DAY look exactly how they've been imagining it. Bringing your vision to life is truly her passion, and she will do everything she can to make your dreams come true while staying in your budget. She is EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED at what she does. It was a pleasure to work with her.
LONG VERSION: Honestly, Pam was so fantastic I don't know where to begin. I had a very unique vision for my wedding, and I myself, didn't quite know how to describe it.
I visited other florists near the philadelphia area that were very good at what they did (the classic wedding look) and tried to capture my vision by showing me pictures our of magazines and asking if that was close to my vision. Any while they were close, they weren't quite right--besides the fact that the florists hadn't ever created this vision themselves.
When we met, she spent hours with me, allowing me to describe what my vision was, and showing me dozens of pictures of HER OWN WORK that was perhaps similar to what I might be looking for. Later on, she sent me a typed up summary of everything we had spoken about, including a detailed description of what she understood my vision to be. It was dead on, described more perfect than even I could have done. I knew I was in good hands.
Furthermore, throughout the planning process, she helped me look for wedding props that had nothing to do with her, like antique frames I wanted placed around the room. She constantly pruned the extras to allow me to stay within my budget.
The day of the wedding, she not only furnished the entire place with flowers, but essentially decorated the entire room with my other props to perfection. She even sought out family members to help her place name tags I'd made up on the appropriate old family wedding photos. The place looked SPECTACULAR, down to every last detail.
The wedding industry has truly become about making money off of other peoples dreams. And it's easy to feel like you're being taken at turn. Pam is one of those rare vendors who doesn't take advantage of the fact that brides will do anything to make that ONE DAY look exactly how they've been imagining it. Bringing your vision to life is truly her passion, and she is tremendously talented. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Phyllis and her team at Eventricity are extraordinary. We worked with Phyllis for our August wedding at the National Constitution Center. I had a very specific vision, style and color palette; Phyllis had no problems figuring out exactly what I wanted and explaining to me how to make it work within my budget. She was patient and calming and really listened to what I wanted our ceremony and reception to look and feel like; and her team delivered exactly that! Every detail was beautiful and well executed. From the chuppah to my bouquet to the escort table and more, they did not miss a detail. Her team did the most AMAZING job with the lighting and table arrangements, and really made the venue shine. I highly recommend Phyllis and Eventricity- they were absolutely fantastic!

I don't think I could ever give a good enough review to explain how much Pam helped me with my wedding, but here is my best shot:
When I started planning my wedding I could see in my mind exactly what I wanted my wedding to look like, but I was having problems getting other people to see it too. I wanted something that was woodsy, romantic, and more "green" than flowers. I always explained it like a garden party that had been sitting around for years and became overgrown.
I took this idea to SEVERAL florists who never quite got my vision, and wanted to charge me OUTRAGEOUSLY to make what they thought it should be happen. Maybe I didn't explain it correctly or maybe trying to sell a florist on using very little flowers was just not going to happen, either way I made the decision to attempt my own decor out of sheer frustration.
I met Pam at chance at a Bridal Show and I had a feeling that she was going to understand me. When I went for my consultation I ended up spending close to 3 hours talking (more of chatting) and at the end I knew Pam understood EVERYTHING I was was looking for. She saw my vision even better than I did and knew exactly how to make it work. I even decided that I wanted to make my bouquet out of vintage family brooches and she fell in love with the idea as well, and ended up helping me not only figure out how to make it work but spent the day with me to make sure that the finished product was "Wedding Worthy". Other florists tried to either talk me out of doing it or wanted to charge me the price of a floral bouquet anyway!
When it came to price Pam understood where I wanted to be and showed me ways to make that happen. I had other florists tell me that even if I cut pieces out of my budget the final price would still be the same.
The day of the wedding Pam was there setting up while we took picture at the reception site and made sure that all the girls bouquets looked fabulous in the July heat.
As I said in the beginning this review does not do justice to explaining what a sweet and wonderful woman Pam is and how beautiful she made my wedding. She was by far the best decision I made for my wedding (besides marrying my husband).

Eventricity did absolutely phenomenal work for my wedding this past March! Phyllis and Michelle knew exactly what I was looking for and I was confident that all I had to tell them was the atmosphere I was trying to create and they would pull it off. I could not be happier with the centerpieces and the chuppah they created. It was perfect for the venue and looks incredible in our images! They were both also so much fun to work with, they really made me feel confident that they knew exactly what I wanted.

I originally saw Pam's work at a bridal show during a demo she was doing. I immediately loved her work and her passion for what she did -- no one her business is called PASSION for Petals! After my husband and I met with her we immediately knew we wanted to book her. Our first meeting we were at her office for well over 3 hours going over details of the wedding and just having a good time. We had a fairly tight budget when it came to flowers and Pam was able to tweak things to get me exactly what I wanted in my price range. She gave me tips on how to lower costs and even helped us with things that we could DIY because she knew it would be a cheaper route for us. Most vendors would not go that extra mile to help you with things they were not getting paid to do! She got my vision the first time and when I went in for my mockup trials everything was perfect and I didn't have to change a thing. She exceeded my expectations by far.

Working with Phyllis and her team was such a pleasure and a joy. She offered her opinions but was willing to listen to ours. From event planning to floral arrangements, to tablescapes, to ceremony decor, we couldn't have been more pleased. When we walked into our ceremony especially, it was a dream come true. Eventricity created the most wonderfully sacred space for such a sacred moment. We are so grateful to have worked with Eventricity.

I wanted to thank you Phyllis, Michelle, Beth, Hope, Jackie and everyone else at Eventricity for making my wedding so special and beautiful. I had a very specific vision of what I wanted and you all helped to make that a reality, in the most wonderful way possible. From the amazing flowers to the crystal chuppah to the kids table with stickers and crayons, my expectations were completely exceeded. So many of my guests commented that the chuppah was the most beautiful that they had seen, ever! When I entered the reception, it felt like a fairy tale. I forgot that the kids were even there because they were so occupied with the crayons and stickers, genius. Thank you so much, Faith and Steve

I cannot say enough good things about Eventricity. They were wonderful to work with from the design stage to the last minute details. They were very responsive and offered many good suggestions along the way. The flowers were gorgeous and even better than expected. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Pamela Hale does have a passion for petals. She was very helpful, providing photographs of past bridal suite floral arrangements and tailoring color, texture, size, and shape to table centerpieces, flower girls, groom and groomsmen, cake topper, the bride's bouquet, altar arrangements, and family corsages and boutonnieres. All flowers were delivered on time and in perfect condition. Every item to be worn was labeled with the name of the wearer making the sort and distribution very easy. Pam's color sense is truly remarkable. I will use her again for other than a wedding and will recommend her without reservation.

The flowers on my wedding day were even more amazing than I had imagined. Each arrangement was put together with so much attention to detail. Our bouquets were so incredibly beautiful - the value for what we got is unbelievable. I would definitely recommend P4P and will be using them in the future.

Pam was awesome. I knew nothing about flowers and couldn't really dictate what was in my head. When I went to talk to other florists, they almost seemed frustrated with me, but Pam worked with me, and my wedding was absolutely perfect. She was the best vendor that I hired for my wedding, and would gladly recommend her to anyone.

Eventricity is wonderful. Phyllis is great and knows what she is doing! I showed her two picture and said I wanted a fall theme and got exactly what I envisioned. Our centerpieces were gorgeous and very full! The fresh flowers on our cake were outstanding. We would highly recommend Eventricity for weddings and more! I would use them again for other events in the future.

The flowers for my daughter's wedding designed by Pam and Passion for Petals were absolutely fabulous! Pamela Hale has an amazing talent for putting together flowers that are unique, full of a variety of textures and shades of color and breathtaking to look at! Pam was so easy to work with, took time to show us a variety of options, and listened to what the bride wanted. She also offered a price range for each of our choices, which we greatly appreciated. The Passion for Petals staff moved flowers from one venue to another and made sure everything was in order the day of the wedding. Even now when we look at the wedding pictures, we are in awe at how gorgeous all the flowers were, even down to the church pew bows. We would highly recommend Passion for Petals for any event!

Pam was the greatest!!! I would recommend her to anyone. I changed florist 3 weeks before my wedding because I just couldn't figure out what I wanted and my florist couldn't design anything that I loved .... needless to say I was in a bind and extremely frustrated. My planner recommended that I meet Pam just to see what she would come up with and low and behold the second I walked in her door she had a design that I loved!! We worked together to tweek it but by the end of our appointment we had our centerpieces. She was the most enthusiastic florist I ever met and just made my mom and I feel at ease. SHE IS THE BEST! Everything was perfect the day of the wedding and she even came back that night to break down the centerpieces into smaller bouquets. I honestly can not say enough great things about her. Her work is beautiful and unique and her delivery is fabulous.

I used Eventricity for my florals and I can not say enough good things of Phyllis, Mia and the entire team. From me initial meeting through the sample session through the actual event, everything was amazing and the flowers were absolutely breathtaking. It was refreshing not to hear a sales pitch... they listened to my budget and what I wanted and then were able to come up with a concept that worked for me. I would highly recommend them!
