“Hi Jen, I am not sure where to begin… I am filled with emotion …I think the smartest thing we did was to hire you for the evening…you were beyond helpful and a tremendous comfort to all of us!!!! Your efficiency and calming yet firm style was exactly what we needed… THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Your talent as a florist is beyond amazing…the arrangements were simply beautiful and frankly exceeded our expectations. Working with you was an absolute pleasure!!!

I know that your high quality flowers will enable us to be reminded of this beautiful night for at least one week….until the flowers perish. Please let me know if you know how I can dry Jamie’s bouquet (which by the way was out of sight!!) Thank you so much.”

“Dear Jen, Now that life has returned to pre wedding quiet, I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff for the fabulous job you did for Jackie and Chris’ wedding. From our 1st meeting you got it that Jackie didn’t want the usual wedding floral arrangements. Working with you was a joy. You are knowledgeable, creative and just plain FUN! We got so excited knowing we were coming to see what you had planned and what you had done. I knew that leaving so many creative decisions in your hands was not a mistake and you did not disappoint. People are still commenting on how beautiful and unique the flowers were! Many, many thanks. With love and gratitude. ”

“When entrusted or commissioned to create a notable or momentous affair, I depend upon like-minded, innovative, detail-oriented colleagues to ensure surpassing guest’s expectations. Jennifer Ford-Chatfield and the staff of Fleur de Lys’ are at the top of the list. They exude a constant ability to transform traditional facilities into places of personal memories and dreams, all being accomplished in an effortless manner. I have determined Jennifer and Fleur de Ly are the authority on floral needs in the greater New Haven area.”

“I have worked with Jennifer and Fleur de Lys on two major gala events for Yale New Haven Hospital. What I love about Jen is that she hears your ideas and becomes part of the team. She looks at the details of your concept – the invitations, the colors, the theme of the event and then brings her talents to the total effect. She is an artist with flowers because she understands texture, color, light and how to achieve a picture with unusual materials that transcend just the use of flowers. When you have to decorate a massive, empty stage, a dining room with 80 tables, and create an inviting entrance for donors and guests, you need the vision, the creative energy and the professionalism that Jen can bring to such a task. She will always be my first choice for any event, large or small.”
