I have been coming here for a while now. I’m at least there once a month and I have never been disappointed. My girlfriend loves them every time too. The ladies who work there are always really nice and helpful whenever I have a question. I highly recommend their flower arrangements for any occasion!
I have nothing but amazing things to say about McCarthys! I chose McCarthys to do the flowers for my wedding and they hit it out of the park with the final product. I didnt give any photo examples (just colors) and was so impressed by what I saw on my wedding day. They were designed by Bill Canjar and he was a pleasure to work with. He would check in on email and make sure he took down all the right notes and confirmed with me multiple times before the big day. I wanted green/white flowers with gold accents. I attached a photo which truly speaks for itself. Whatever you do, say yes to McCarthy Flowers!
I’m not from/live in PA, and needed to find a florist in Scranton. I placed an online order through the website and made a slight error in the recipient address. The staff were incredibly nice about it and since the correct address was on the same street, they made the delivery minutes later. The bouquet was arranged beautifully and made my recipient and I happy.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Canjar in March 2019 at a wedding expo. From the moment i met him, i knew i had to make him my wedding florist. For the past 1yr and half Bill, my mother and i worked hand in hand with what i wanted, she wanted etc. To say he was just my florist would be a lie. He became part of our family.During the time of covid 19 breaking out and restrictions changing all the time, we werent even sure if we were going to be able to have our wedding on Sept 12,2020. Every step of the way again, Bill was by our side with positive thoughts and willing to do whatever it was we needed.Finally the day was here and we were able to go threw with the wedding. To see Bills work finally in person was breath taking. I couldnt believe how he took my ideas (which was you know the wedding scene in twilight? thats what i want a garden whimsical feel) and brought them to life adding some of his flare and style. He told me I got this and he did. He knew what I wanted even with me talking in circles. The talent this man has is unbelievable. From my cocktail hour flowers, reception center pieces, the flowers for my bridesmaids and groomsmen, parents etc. The biggest surprise was my ceremony space (my mom and bill secret) he recreated the arbor to look like the arbor in twilight.If I could give Bill more them 5 stars i would. I would and do recommend Bill to anyone that is looking for an amazing florist. Not just for wedding but any occasion in life. He will have mine for life..
I have never written a Google Review before. However, the flowers from my wedding were so spectacular I felt compelled to write one. They were designed by Bill Canjar from McCarthy Flowers on Pittston Avenue in Scranton. I showed Bill a picture of an arrangement of flowers that I saw online. He created centerpieces with the same light, airy look that were stunning. The flowers were fresh and the vases and centerpieces were absolutely full and profoundly beautiful. He was very easy to talk with and understood exactly what I was looking for. He personally made all of the arrangements himself. He created them with great care and superior attention to detail. Please know I highly recommend Bill Canjar.
McCarthy Flowers were wonderful to work with for my wedding day! The entire staff was attentive to detail, listened carefully to understand my vision, and worked tirelessly to provide gorgeous flowers! The staff at McCarthy Flowers made sure to follow up with me when any clarifications were needed, yet took on the bulk of the planning and logistics so that I did not have to worry about a thing! I would highly recommend McCarthy Flowers
This is my normal go to, but ieft work early to grab flowers for a birthday.. apparently you left earlier than business hours as advertised too.
After having to postpone my wedding I forgot about flowers. I called McCarthy and spoke to Bill just 2.5 weeks before my wedding. I told him over the phone what I like and don’t like. I wasn’t expecting anything too extravagant. When I saw the flowers this past weekend I couldn’t believe it. They were so amazing and exactly what I had always dreamed of. I am still in shock at how perfect they are!
Our son was married on Saturday, August 11th 2018.We chose Bill Canjar at McCarthys to design the wedding flowers. Bill has always done our prom and special occasion bouquets and we couldn’t be more pleased.The bride, our new daughter in law, cried when she saw her bouquet.We always say that Bill cannot possibly top his previous work and he always proves us wrong!You made our guests feel the comfort and beauty that we expected the flowers to bring.The girls bouquets were outstanding and so full of life and the Cross, the centerpiece of our ceremony and the most important “decoration “ that day was awe-inspiring!Thank you for transforming just a reception hall into a glorious showplace.Bill we will never go anywhere else and we will recommend you to every single person we know.We love working with you and you are the best designer in the land 💕The only word I can use to accurately describe our experience with Bill and McCarthys flowers is Majestic. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.
Mccarthys on Pittston Ave is my Go-To florist for all of my needs. I have 4 sons, with 2 still in high school and one getting married. Our boys semi flowers are always top of the line ! Bill Canjar is an artist in the truest sense of the word!I cannot wait to see our sons wedding this summer. We have already booked Bill and would never think about going anywhere else !Thank you McCarthys and Bill for making All of our events memorable 🌹🌸🌷💐 They say a pictures worth a thousand words, Enjoy !
My Mom received the BIRTHDAY arrangement & card I ordered for today and said that it was absolutely beautiful! The very nicest she every received. Thank you for helping me to make her feel special on her 80th birthday!!!! I will definitely order from you again and recommend you !G
***Second try, this time around I am more than impressed with the presentation of the arrangement! It is exactly what I wanted, looks even better than the image on their website honestly. Cindy was fantastic, spoke with her a few times, very polite, understood my original frustrations, rectified everything, and impressed me today with what she had gotten done.***
We hired McCarthy Flowers for our wedding on 9/15/18. Kathi was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. When I couldnt articulate accurately what I wanted, she summed it up for me. She has years of experience and it clearly shows, she visited our venue with us and turned my thoughts into a vision and beautiful backdrop for our perfect day. Im not a Pinterest/DIY bride, so I put my full trust in Kathi to make my ceremony space and reception beautiful and she far exceeded my and my new husbands expectations. I cannot recommend McCarthy Flowers enough, they were worth every penny we spent with them. Thank you Kathi.
Bill Canjar of McCarthy Flowers in South Side Scranton knocked it out of the park! Gave him some details about the event and the 4 floral table centerpieces were absolutely beautiful and exactly what we needed to make the venue pop!
What can we say? During an uncertain time, Bill (Senior Designer & Wedding Specialist) of McCarthy Flowers Scranton was kind, calm, and extremely knowledgable. We could not believe how perfectly he executed our vision just from a few discussions. We were beyond thrilled when we saw how amazing everything came together. Bill and McCarthy’s were there through every step (and speed bump!) making sure that not only the florals were stellar, but that the placement and arrangement were ideal. Our family and friends still can’t stop complimenting our florals from both the church and the reception. We would highly recommend Bill and McCarthy Flowers to anyone that wants their special day to be much more special! Thank you, Bill!!!
Bill at Mc Carthy Flowers at the South Side location is just amazing his suggestion and guidance in selecting the perfect choice in flowers from price to color and of course the perfect flower for the perfect women was spot on! He is also the man who arranges the flowers and made sure to get them there timely!Thanks Bill 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️For youDavid Davison
Bill did an amazing job on my fall wedding bouquet this past weekend. I showed him a picture of what I wanted, and he went above and beyond my expectations. I absolutely loved my bouquet! It was absolute perfection.
They made absolutely beautiful bouquets for our wedding. They were everything I wanted. Bill was so great to work with and made the process easy. So very happy!
I wanted to get my little sister flowers for her Christmas concert so I looked up where to get flowers and it took me here. I walked in expecting to buy some quick flowers. I was unaware that you had to make a reservation ahead of time for them. The woman there said that she can make me a bundle quick at an affordable price. They turned out beautiful! Even better than any grocery store! My sister is going to love them! Thanks Lori! Highly recommend!
Customer service very good
I have had many wonderful dealings at McCarthy Flower Shop on Pittston Ave in Scranton. The manager Bill is an expert flower designer and so creative. He practically reads my mind when Im trying to describe to him what kind of arrangement I need. He is very professional, very courteous, and an excellent listener. He goes out of his way for you until youre satisfied. Bill is a great asset to the McCarthy family, and I hope he will be with them for a long time. As long as he is I will gladly do business there.
Very nice people today i got what i wanted last time they didnt but still was able to help me find something.
I chose this place purely by chance to surprise my wife at work for our anniversary. She received her dozen roses at her office and was amazed at how gorgeous, fresh and FRAGRANT they were! Their scent filled her work area and she got tons if compliments all day from her co-workers. It really made her day, and in turn, made mine.I most certainly will buy from McCarthys again and I highly recommend them. I did think their prices were a bit steep but then again you get what you pay for.
Went 2 different florist b4. I stopped here. LESSON Learned. Customers outstanding. They take u in and show u what flowers they have. Very Very Satisfied. They are my #1 choice for getting flowers from now on. TY
Ordered a Christmas center piece for my sister. She sent me a picture of the arrangement & it was absolutely beautiful. I will always use McCarthy Florist. ...R Stevens....Tennessee
The only thing that was correct was my bouquet. The color scheme was completely off for my wedding flowers . My colors were dark purple and grey and the flowers consisted of more deep red then purple. They were still pretty but not what I wanted and we even sat down and had a consultation about colors and flowers . The guys flowers were also supposed to be a dark purple but they also cam out a deep red color .
From me being 800 miles away, or the quarantine limiting what I can do, or me actually being able to do a in person order at the shop for my girlfriend, you guys have been nothing but amazing. Three years since I found out about this place and haven’t used any other.
On January 10th 2020, I bought a mixed bouquet with 6 pink roses mixed with other flowers, the other flowers were lovely, and lasted for a week, the roses.were dead in 2 days, 1 was bent in half when I received the bouquet, I didnt notice till I took outta the box it was in when i got home. On Jan 20, my bf bought me a dozen red Roses. The bouquet is put together poorly and 2 roses.are dead the same day. He got them late in the day. This place is living off of a reputation from years ago. Id rather no flowers than dead ones.
So friendly..beautiful fresh flowers. Kinda pricey but some occasions are worth it!
Not only was I a little picky with getting the flowers to match my sons dates dress, I was a lot picky! BOY DID THEY DELIVER!!! Perfectly matched in type, color and arrangement! Absolute perfection, the artistry and deaign far exceeded my expectations!!! Will be my go-to florist. Prices were beyond reasonable.
I needed flowers in a hurry for a very special occasion. Bill, in the South Scranton store came through in spectacular fashion! Not only was the arrangement done quickly and on short notice, but the flowers were absolutely beautiful! I couldnt imagine a better experience.
It’s Valentine’s Day. It was on the news that they opened at 6:00 am and it’s on google they are open. I’ve been sitting out front since 6:10. I called they answered said they’re open and they would unlock doors but here I am sitting here for another 20 minutes... Do not post your hours for 6 AM opening and not unlock the doors and do not have on the news you open at 6 AM and answer the phone and still don’t open the doors that’s just common courtesy. If you don’t wanna deal with customers at 6 AM don’t have your hours posted for that time!!!
Mike helped us out with a beautiful baby girl bouquet. He went over and beyond and we are very happy with the service and quality. Thanks Mike!
I have used McCarthy Flowers for years. I also tell people that you guys in South Scranton have a special touch. Although I think this shop is great, receiving arrangements from here is even better. Its fabulous! So thank you for all you do.
Small florist shop manned by very nice people with excellent customer service skills
What can I say about about the talent that is Bill at McCarthy? He is unparalleled in both concept and execution. Whether it be a large arrangement, party, or simply flowers for my home I am always surprised by the beautiful elegance of his work. He exceeds every expectation and is very easy to work with.
Id give it 0 stars if I could. Twice I have received flowers from here and both times 80% of the flowers were already brown around the edges. The most recent was the most infuriating. 2 dozen roses were brown around the edges and when I took off the plastic around them almost all the leaves fell on the floor. Now 5 days later they are dead. So incredibly disappointed
We used Bill Canjar from McCarthy Flowers for our April 2019 wedding at the Radisson Lackawanna Station, and we were so pleased with everything he did for us. All of the arrangements were beautiful and the bouquets were gorgeous. We had alternating high and low centerpieces in the ballroom, a large arrangement on our seating card table, and flowers in the fountain in the lobby - all were amazing. Bill was a pleasure to work with and even stopped by the bridal suite while I was getting ready to make sure I was happy with the bouquets. He really got the style we were looking for (more flowers, less greens) and we got so many compliments on how beautiful everything looked.
Bill Canjar could not have been more amazing to myself and my dad and family when my mom passed away. The casket spray was EXACTLY what we wanted. Again, dad called upon Bill to design a grave arrangement for winter and we couldnt have been more pleased. We look forward to asking Bill to design a spring arrangement. Thanks Bill. Love ya.
Bill C did a semi formal arrangement for me last week and he did not disappoint. The bouquet was gorgeous, from the roses to the ribbon. Thanks Bill #bestfloraldesigner
The people was nice and currency. They do believed in helping people out.. Such nice people
Very helpful and courteous. Asked what price I was looking for my arrangement. Did not push towards anything I did not want. I would definitely recommend Mc Carthy Flowers.
Such an incredible store! Humble owners, amazing service, and the flowers are beautiful! Definitely the best florist Ive ever been to.
The flowers I purchased were absolutely beautiful and lasted like forever! A big thank you to Bill Canjar for great service as always. :-)
Staff is helpful, flowers are beautiful & talen care of, but like any florist - can get expensive quick!
Great service and wonderful selection
What great service. Called late morning, hoping to get same day delivery. Spoke with Bill. Told him what I was looking for, and I just wanted the arrangement to include cali Lillies, the rest was up to them.Flowers were delivered before 2 in the afternoon.My daughter was so thrilled, excited, and blown away at how beautiful the flowers were. She was so pleased to see her favorite flowers mixed in that it made her tear up and she said they make the office smell fantastic.Thank you for making her feel so special.Hats off to the excellent customer service.Will definitely be my go to florist.
Loved it. Honestly probably one of the best flower shops youll go to. There is i wide selection of flowers. They are very respectful and nice while helping you. Also they got us in and out of there in no time. very quick. If you het a chance id go here then any other place
Customer friendly, you can take all your time and they will try every option you want.
I went to help my sisters boyfriend pick a bouquet for her birthday! We went here mainly because no other florist was open on a Sunday. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The process was very easy. She recieved her bouquet the next day at work and I was blown away with the beauty so I could just imagine how she felt. I took a pic and sent it to my fiancé. I think we have a new go to florist! Great Work!
Awesome service, and fare prices.
Mccarthy Flowers in Scranton was definately my go to place.... they always did an unbelievable job and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was just perfect. I had to give a 2 star rating because although the arrangement I received from my husband and children were very pretty they are very disappointed in what I received! First, when my husband called to order he requested pink tipped white roses. The woman said it would not look right and they have a rose that has pink through them. My husband stated to them mix them to make it look right then. When I received them they are all white, no pink at all in the rose with little pink flowers mixed in! The problem I have is that he called to tell them that this was not at all what he ordered and the lady told him that THEY WENT WITH THEIR CHOICE! Whether you agree or not, you need to remember that the customer is ALWAYS right! Especially when sending their loved ones something that they love and they are paying an asinine amount for flowers! So disappointed with the rudeness of the staff at this establishment and unfortunately will not ever return. Will also NEVER recommend to anyone due to the customer sevice!
Beautiful flower arrangements, can order ahead or just stop in to pick up one that is already made up.
I have ordered from this company 3 times an I am impressed with their service and the flowers they have delivered each time. Thank you Carole
Great place to get beautiful flowers.
I’ve done business with the company only once where they delivered locally to the bank I work at in Scanton. Not only was the rep rude & impatient with my order. I was told the pink roses would be coming in that same day, therefore fresh...they werent. Called back, was told refund wasnt an option & was sent another bouquet the following week. Fast forward to Vday, Id figure I’d give them another try simply because they are close to my job- this rep was VERY rude, huffed & puffed at every question I asked & had to nerve to tell me they were very busy as if my call was not a priority & I was annoying her. I decided to end the call & end any future possiblities of doing business w/ this place. They’ll be quick to take ya card # & get off the phone w/ you though. Excellent customer service is a BIG part of my job & a requirement. You know if I took the time to write this review, this rep really pissed me off. Shouldve called up edible arrangments, smh. Never again, buyer beware.
My tulips are a week old and still look brand new. Such a beautiful arrangement, thank you Kim!
Bill Canjar is THE premiere floral artist of NEPA. Whether it be for birthdays, bridals showers, weddings or other events Bill brings his expertise to every event. I had the extreme pleasure of working with Bill last year designing the wedding of my dreams. Bill takes his time with you and listens to every detail. Bill is such a professional in everyway that he even took a 4 hour trip to Long Island to look at the venue and really get a feel of the layout. He answers every phone call and text in a timely fashion and makes things happen like magic. I can not say enough great things about Bill Canjar. On top of everything he is the most amazing wedding guest and dancer!
Amazing selection of flowers and bouqes
Flowers wilted too fast. Seemed too old to be fresh. Way too expensive for Scranton, they think its times square in scranton lol
Great service very kind employees
Flowers died in a week. GARBAGE!!!
Beautiful mulberry bushes and plants
Friendly service
On special occasions this is my go-to spot
Five phone calls and still cant say when someone will even be here. Run by children. By far the most ignorant people you could ever deal with. Dont ever try these people
Thursday is rose delivery
They need more varieties of separate flowers to sell, we dont all want complete arrangements.
