Virginia Mary Florist: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I have ordered many times from them and will only use them as long as I'm in Bendigo. The quality, price and service are second to none and have always felt I got more than I paid for. My partner loves anything I've ever got from them and even as a bloke I think they are worth every cent.
Hello Tristan,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review, we really appreciate the 5 stars.
It has been a pleasure to create all your orders & look forward to helping you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: The best florist I have ever used! They sent me a photo of the flowers before they went out for delivery - so very impressed with this part of their service. Absolutely beautiful flowers!
Hello Lana,
Thank you for taking our 5 star review, we really appreciate you taking the time to do this.
Fantastic experience: Love this florist. Completely trustworthy process and up to date info on delivery as well as a pic of the product they are sending out. As an interstate customer, it's so lovely to receive this service. Will definitely use again. Thankyou once again for your amazing, reliable service. You make it so easy to order from interstate.
Hello Rebekah,
Thank you for such a wonderful review, we really appreciate you taking the time to write this & give us 5 stars. We look forward to helping you again in tbe future.
Fantastic experience: The best Florist in Bendigo, by a long way. Always friendly, and gives great advice. I held off on giving this review for a great reason. I got a bunch of roses for my wife, 5 weeks ago, and they lasted 5 weeks. Incredible. That’s care and attention to detail right there there. Thank you so much again, always a great chat to. I’ll be in Thursday for some more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hello Daragh,
Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful review. Wow thats fantastic that to hear that they lasted so long , you obviously did a great job in looking after them. Sorry l have been away so not sure if you made it in on Thursday but look forward to seeing you in the shop again.
Fantastic experience: I have used this florist twice so far and have been very impressed with the flowers and the service.
Thank you for your 5 star review, we are happy to have been able to help with your floral needs on both occasions.
Fantastic experience: My whole order was done online & Simone was amazing! They prepared and delivered the arrangement exactly as it was shown on the site AND IT WAS STUNNING according to the recipient. I thought I had ordered on the Sunday for delivery the next day but when I finally realised late on the Monday night that I didn't receive the promised Virginia Mary Florist photo of the arrangement going out and confirmation of delivery, I checked my order and saw that I had picked the Monday following. I quickly sent off an email explaining my mistake and requested the delivery to be again the next day. THEY WERE FABULOUS and contacted me Tuesday morning to say they could do this and then I received notification later that it had been delivered. To be able to organise this and send flowers to a smaller town in Victoria, from Melbourne and they be so beautiful was just fabulous. I also got to not look like a idiot to my friends who also contributed to the arrangement!! Thank you Simone & Virginia Mary Florist
Hello Suzi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a
wonderful review, we really
appreciate it.
We understand sometimes things get mixed up &
after receiving your email, we were happy to help get your order delivered as soon as we possibly could.
Fantastic experience: Simone and staff were very helpful and friendly. The 'Get Well' Balloon and the fluffy toy they selected for our granddaughter brightened her day. Delivery to the Base Hospital was quick. The prices for the two items and delivery were very reasonable.
Hello Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. Happy we could help brighten your granddaughter's hospital stay with a new fury friend.
Fantastic experience: They delivered a gorgeous bouquet to my daughter and their customer service is above excellent.
Hello Annette,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review on Google.
We really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Great experience ordering online for delivery. It was very nice to be sent a photo so I could see the flowers too! I also liked the range of gifts, which includes soft animal toys and bears.
Hello Zoe,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of shopping with us. Happy we could help & we really appreciate you leaving us a 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: Wanted to get flowers delivered to my mum after her surgery as I live 3 hours from Bendigo, quick and easy to order online, I picked “Simone’s choice” and she did not disappoint. A stunning arrangement to put a smile on my mum’s face after a very scary day and a complete coincidence that they are her favourite colour. If I could give 10 stars I would ❤️
Hello Brea,
So glad that you found our online ordering so easy & that l got it right with the colour for your Mum, it is one of my favourite colours also . Hope your mum enjoys them & is out of hospital soon. Thank you for taking the time to write us such a wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: Great service and value. Beautiful flowers delivered mothers day and after I mixed up the address the customer service provided trying to track down where they'd been sent to was 100%. Simone responded straight away and provided photos and feedback of the delivery so I was able to get the flowers to my Mum. I absolutely recommend this florist especially when ordering online from another town. Will be sure to shop here again. Thankyou!!
Hello Emma,
Thank you for such a great review, we appreciate you taking the time to do this.Just happy to help sort things out & for Mum to be able to get her flowers.
Look forward to helping you again in the future.

Hello Julie,

Simone
Fantastic experience: For a single rose it was presented beautifully. I got some chocolate and a cocktail to accompany it and they placed them all in this lovely little bag that they presented very nicely too. The checkout and delivery was a seamless process and I was sent pictures of my order before delivery and a confirmation after the fact.
Hello Lachlan,
Thank you for your 5 Star review & feedback.It's always nice to hear when someone has appreciated the attention to detail we put into presentation of the gift we are delivering for them.

.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Skye for your wonderful service taking my order over the phone, and your understanding while I worked through the ‘hiccup’ with my card payment. And thank you Simone for sending a photo of the arrangement that was being delivered. I have always had to rely on the recipient sending a photo of the arrangement when I’ve used other florists as the florist has always said they are too busy to send photos, and I really appreciate that this is just part of your regular service. My mother-in-law absolutely loved the arrangement too. A perfect bright arrangement to cheer her up while in hospital. You are a talented team! Warm Regards.
Hello Christine,

We really appreciate you doing this. We are happy we could help you with your order & that your mother-in- law loved arrangement.

Fantastic experience: I ordered over the phone for my one year old niece and they were gorgeous.

Fantastic experience: An amazing locally owned florist! Simone happily delivers a very personal and accommodating service and goes that bit further to ensure your experience is nothing but the best. Virginia Mary Florist is the only florist I have used now for several years in Bendigo; not because others aren't good, but because I have no need to go anywhere else. Excellent communication with a photo of your order, great delivery service and let's not forget the beautiful fresh flowers every time. Recipients always tell me that they love the flowers I have sent from here and they are amazed at how long they last! Photos of some of my orders are below. 10/10

Sorry for your experience.

Fantastic experience: The arrangements from here are just gorgeous. I especially love the Boxette Blooms as something a little different. The flowers are just starting to bloom so they will last a long time, which is really thoughtful. Wide delivery area, quick delivery and prices are very reasonable. And each time I’ve ordered as gifts, Simone has sent me a photo. I couldn’t be happier.
Hello Tracey ,

So Happy we have been able to help you & look forward to helping you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much to Simone at Virginia Mary Florist, who advised me I had ordered some flowers online which weren’t allowed to be delivered to the hospital. I asked Simone if she could arrange something else and she exceeded all my expectations. My friend in hospital was blown away. The beautiful flowers came in a lovely ceramic vase and it made her week. Thanks again Simone.
