It was my pleasure working with Joseph and his team. The set up was fast and as promised. Cause I had even on Thursday and Saturday I asked to leave the decorations for both days. I am so happy that I found someone on Long Island affordable. Will be using this company for future events.

It goes without saying that planning a NYC wedding is a total luxury, especially the decor!
It was my first time using Thumbtack, and I was honestly a bit stressed since no one I knew had used the app before—but I’m so glad I took the risk. I reached out to Joseph and he replied in minutes. He was so kind and professional, showed me his portfolio, worked with my budget, and gave me an amazing deal.
Thanks so much, I’ll be recommending you to everyone looking to plan a beautiful event on a budget like I did!

Joseph and the entire team at Gemstone Florist were absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, Joseph was professional, attentive, and truly understood my vision. The floral arrangements for our wedding were breathtaking elegant, fresh, and even more beautiful than I imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, and his work completely transformed the venue.
Joseph made the entire process easy and stress-free, and you can tell that he genuinely takes pride in his work. Our guests could not stop complimenting the flowers! I’m so grateful we chose Gemstone Florist for such an important day. I highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for exceptional service, creativity, and truly stunning floral arrangements!
Gabby and Elder were AMAZING! So attentive and proactive. Always doing something or looking for something to do. They were super sweet with great upbeat Energy! They helped with food prep, decorating/display, set up coordination in general. I highly recommend! I will definitely be reaching back out to use Gemstone events again. Thank you for your professionalism and just bringing so much ease to my wedding, we were in GREAT hands!

Gemstone events went above and beyond for my child’s first birthday. I mean, my family and I cannot get over it! It was beautiful. Joseph and his crew really cared about how it looked and they completely capture the look I was going for and more. It was absolutely stunning! It was so full of life and fun! Last minute he added the tent and ugh we fell in love! Highly recommend them!
