more than a gift

Love Love Love LOVE Gina and her shop. I did change my flowers twice, not too extreme but she didn't seem to mind it at all. I never saw a full sample (due to season) of my centerpieces and she promised me it would come out beautiful. I also never saw my bouquet AND two days before my wedding my original flowers died in the crazy snowstorm we had in October. She told me about that over the phone and I didn't flip out, she suggested other flowers and I am so happy with what she picked for me.Everything came out perfectly and much better than what I expected in my head. Gina is sweet and fantastic and I would use her again for future events.

I worked with Gina for my invitations, favors, framed seating chart, and guestbook canvas. She was very professional, and willing to accomodate anything you would like. My invitations were very affordable, and looked beautiful!! My favors were also beautiful and affordable and I loved that I didn't have to wrap them myself because the price with wrapping was so affordable. Gina was able to accomodate my seating chart and guestbook canvas print at the last minute without a complaint. I would definitely recommend her to all brides or anyone planning a party! Thanks so much Gina!!

OMG Gina was so phenomenal!!! I came to her about a year before my wedding with tons of ideas ...she definately pointed me in the right direction. After tons of emails and phone calls about me changing my mind and asking for flower advice she was always pleasant and more than willing to help. She even let me drop of things like the unity candles as well as things for the reception so she could set them up for me. The day of..My bouquet and my girls bouquets ..just STUNNING! Everything I ever asked for and wanted she did beautifully!!! The church..Gorgeous!!! I even got compliments from the people who attended the ceremony..right after the ceremony! As soon as we pulled into the reception the Major Dee came up to us and said " Your flowers are amazing! The florist nailed everything!" So needless to say I was very excited to see everything and boy we were not disappointed in anyway! It was like my vision come to life! I'm so glad I found More than a Gift and I tell everyone to go see Gina for flowers! She is AWESOME!

I was extremely happy with the service of More Than a Gift for my wedding and would recommend it to anyone

Gina and her staff at More Than A Gift are truly AMAZING! Gina is so creative; the ideas she had suggested were exactly what we wanted. Lilliana was incredibly helpful with my invitations. I received so many compliments on my bouquet, my girl’s bouquet the way our church was decorated and also our magnificent centerpieces. Everything turned out above and beyond what we had imagined. We both couldn’t have been any happier! We truly appreciate everything more than a gift did for us! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MORE THAN A GIFT TO ALL FUTURE BRIDES OUT THERE!!!!

What can I say?! From the moment I meet Gina she was open with ideas and suggestions! To me what was most important, she was honest! Gina was able to get the ideas I brought to her and create something that was within my budget and something I fell in love with! To say I was happy and satisfied with her work is an understatement! I truly recommend Gina to anyone and everyone for whatever the occasion is!!! Thanks to her great work and the love she has for her customers my wedding day was that much more complete!!!! Lisa aka a happy bride ;)

I was referred to this vendor by my hairdresser who had used More Than a Gift for her wedding. When I saw the pictures of her centerpieces I was beyond impressed and knew I had to use More than a Gift. When I met with Maria Gina Henriques she took her time with me and helped me to create the exact vision of what I had in mind. She is incredibly knowledgeable about flowers (as far as what is in season and will work) and she helped me to do what I wanted on my budget. Her ideas were fantastic and she has a great artistic eye. My wedding was 1.5 hours from her company area and she had all of the bouquets, centerpieces, and flowers set up well before the event started. She delivered and set up flowers to 3 separate addresses--she is amazing in my book. All the guests talked about was how beautiful the centerpieces were (I had floating candles with orchids) at the reception and how beautiful the flowers were at the church. She is incredibly professional and really works with you as a client. I would definitely use her again for any event. Her centerpieces "stole the show" at the reception!

Working with Gina was great!! Our centerpieces were beyond beautiful. Actually all the flowers including mine and the rest of the bridal party were amazing. Loved it. To Gina and crew a BIG thank you!!!

I worked with Gina of More Than A Gift for my table linen rentals. I wanted to be sure to match the color of the fabrics to the wedding color scheme and get the perfect fabrics for the tables and chair sashes. Gina was able to do just that for me! She was persistent in bringing my vision into reality and worked extremely hard to get just the perfect fit. It was truly a pleasure to work with her as she contacted many different distributors until we found the perfect linens at the best possible price. Without Gina's help the overall look of the reception would not have been perfect. She went above and beyond for my husband and I and I would recommend her to any bride looking to complete their wedding with the perfect details!

I was searching for a good price for white phalaenopsis orchids and More than a gift had the BEST price for these flowers. The service was great. Gina is a wonderful person to work with and I am very happy with the service she provided. The only reason I rated 4.9 instead of 5 for overall rating was that the orchids did not have 8 blooms per stem as I was told. Everything else was perfect and therefore I would highly recommend this place.

Working with Gina and all of the staff at More Than a Gift was a pleasure. I am so happy that I trusted Gina with our special day. Gina was very helpful and guided me to choosing exactly what I wanted. When I was undecided she was kind enough to assemble various samples to give me a better idea. The week before my wedding I remember going to see her for all of the final touches and my aunt mentioned that she wanted everything to look "Breathtaking". That day when we walked in to the room we were overwhelmed by how amazing the flowers looked. As promised, the room was breathtaking and the centerpieces were amazing. The bouqets, groomsmen flowers, flowers at the church, and ofcourse my bouqet were beautiful. I also got a signing board and table seating chart that were placed at the entrance of the cocktail hour. They looked great! More Than a Gift has reasonable prices and are great people to work with. Gina thank you for being a part of making our wedding day so memorable! Thank You Melissa & Danny Bauza

Gina was wonderful. She was there for us and made our dream come true.I recommend everyone to her. Our flowers,Poster,Gifts etc. all came our beautiful..Thank you very much for everything..

Gina provided my flowers for the wedding day. She created mine (the bride), the bridesmaids bouquets , the grooms buttonholes and the mothers corsage's. They were beautiful, elegant and exacty what I wanted. Gina is wonderful in creating exactly what you want at an affordable price and she provides a friendly service. I am really glad my sister in-law introduced me to Gina and I would recommend her to everyone!!!

Gina, was amazing to work with! We got our invitations from here. They were great. She is so helpful and professional. We highly recommend.

Gina from More Than a Gift did my son's Christening in October. Her work is simply amazing. I had tears in my eyes when I walked into the room and saw how beautiful and elegant everything looked. Her prices are very reasonable. Definetely recommend More than a Gift for any occassion. Worth the trip into the Ironbound section of Newark to see Gina.

You couldn't find the nicest person to do your flowers for that special day. My wedding would not be the same without such gorgeous flowers and decorations. Thank you so much for all your work and everything was perfect.

Gina was simply amazing. She has talent, passion for her craft, and such a great personality. She made choosing our flowers, centerpieces, and favors simple and stress free. She was prompt and flexible and used her experience to get helpful suggestions. Gina's heart goes into every wedding, and ours was no exception. She felt more like a friend than a vendor and I hope to use her again soon... she does baby showers, too!I HIGHLY recommend Gina.With the greatest appreciation,Sonia & Sean Scott

Gina did an amazing job for my wedding. Everything looked fantastic. Gina helped me with everything. I got my wedding invitations there, my bridal shower favors and centerpieces, and everything for my wedding. She helped me with everything and made my wedding look incrediably beautiful. My wedding flowers, my bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets and favors looked amazing. Gina, Thank You for everything you did for me i don't know what i would do without you!!!

I stared at this "review box" for about a half an hour before I could even manage to write anything. How can I put into words to express just how awesome Gina at More Than A Gift really is?I think the other reviews really speak for her professionalism, uncanny attention to detail, and the pride she puts into her work. She and her staff are unbelievably easy to work with. Of course, you know this already from reading the other reviews so let me speak on my personal experience.Gina not only provided amazing flower arrangements that lasted almost two weeks from my wedding day, but she assisted me with my wedding invitations and the overall decor of the wedding. She made herself available to me just so I can throw ideas at her and get her professional feedback.From the groomsmen, to my bouquet, to the centerpieces, everything was absolutely PERFECT.Gina and Liliana were also my wedding day coordinators! Yes, she is that multi-faceted! Not only did she ensure that everything was set up in a timely matter (Yes, future brides, a wedding without problems is possible!)but she ensured that all purchased and rented items, leftover wedding favors, and wedding gifts for my wedding day were returned or delivered to my home.She recommended instead of personal candy favors on the tables, to do two large candy tables! This was a huge hit at my wedding!All of her expertise, flower arrangements, and services are top notch quality at amazingly competitive prices.Thank you Gina, for putting up with my harrasment throughout the year. My wedding day would not have been as amazing without you.

Gina and her staff were FABULOUS in setting up our event at the Sheraton Newark Airport Hotel! SHe took care of the centerpieces, chair covers and bows, and runners for the tables. From the initial last minute request to come in with a sample, to delivering the final product it was Perfect! She was everything we could have ever asked for. The quality, her responsiveness, professionalism, and especially the value was EXCELLENT! Thank you More than a Gift for making this event, one to remember!!!!
