Our Happy Clients

Gill, Rosie and the team, thank you for all your hard work, patience and understanding in preparing and delivering our wonderful flowers for our special day on Saturday.

We are thrilled with how it all looked, so are especially pleased for having chosen Courts of Rayleigh.

Not only on the day, but in the build-up, we found your communication with colours and styles as well as liaising with our cake suppliers and the venue at The Lawn very reassuring. This along with the beautiful presentation of the flowers all around means that you’ve made it very special and it will always be memorable for us, as well as many others who have taken them as gifts too.

Thanks ever so much again.

Sally and Paul Martins

Thank you so much for the exquisite flower arrangement you created for my Mother in Law’s funeral.

It was so beautiful and many people commented on how lovely it was. Thank you for being so helpful and friendly as well.

Hannah Pearce

From our first meeting we were very impressed with the quality of the flowers and the knowledge and experience of all at Courts. They understood what we wanted and adapted our ideas to what they knew would be stunning. The whole process went extremely smoothly, we had great communication throughout. Courts of Rayleigh are definitely a higher end florist, however they have delivered as promised and we could not be happier.

So happy with our funeral flowers for our mum, they are everything we could have wished for, they looked beautiful, we know our mum would have loved them. Hayley and family xx

Hayley Kelly

My sister and I were really pleased with the wreath and garland around the coffin for our mother’s funeral yesterday. Courts were very professional and listened to our wishes. My sister and I were blown away by how beautiful the wicker coffin looked with the garland around it and with the wreath laid on the top and couldn’t stop looking at it throughout the service as it was so beautiful and we feel that it was what our mum would have wanted.

Everyone commented on how lovely it looked. Thank you so much Courts for working so professionally and for making it look so special, such a comfort for us.
