Kind Words
"Working with Siobhán at Balenqui was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first visit to the farm in April, she listened to everything we wanted and then brought her own creativity to the table. The bridal bouquet was a showstopper of garden roses, sweet peas, and trailing jasmine. Our ceremony arch at Lough Cutra Castle was breathtaking, and every single table arrangement was unique. She even surprised us with a flower crown for our flower girl. The flowers smelled incredible and lasted well into the following week. We still have petals pressed in our wedding album."
Your wedding flowers set the tone for the entire day. These couples trusted us with one of the most important details of their celebration, and we are honoured by their words.
"The flowers for our wedding at Ballynahinch Castle were beyond anything we imagined. Siobhán understood our vision perfectly and created arrangements that made the whole venue feel like a secret garden. Our guests are still talking about the ceremony arch six months later. She was calm, professional, and everything arrived on time with no stress at all. We could not recommend Balenqui highly enough."
"We had our wedding at Ashford Castle and the floral design from Balenqui was the most complimented element of the entire day. The centrepieces had this gorgeous, romantic quality that perfectly matched the setting. Siobhán even adapted the colour palette when she saw the exact shade of our bridesmaids' dresses. That attention to detail made all the difference. The buttonholes were works of art."
"My partner and I wanted a relaxed, bohemian style for our ceremony at a small country house near Kinvara. Balenqui delivered exactly that, loose, natural arrangements that looked as though they had just been gathered from a wildflower meadow. The hanging installation above our dinner table was extraordinary. Several friends have since booked Balenqui for their own weddings based on what they saw at ours."
"We cannot say enough good things about Balenqui. Our wedding was in early October and Siobhán used the most beautiful autumn palette with dahlias, cosmos, and copper beech foliage. The bridal bouquet was the centrepiece of our photographs. She also stayed to style the venue on the morning of the wedding and made sure every last detail was perfect. True professionalism paired with genuine warmth."
From one-off gift bouquets to monthly subscriptions, our customers share how Balenqui flowers bring colour and joy into their homes throughout the seasons.
"I subscribe to the monthly flower box and it is genuinely the highlight of every month. The blooms always arrive in perfect condition and last far longer than anything from the supermarket. You can tell these flowers were grown with real care and picked at just the right moment. The handwritten notes are a lovely touch."
"I ordered the Wild Meadow Bunch as a birthday gift for my sister in Cork and she was absolutely thrilled. The delivery arrived on time, beautifully wrapped, and the flowers were fresh and fragrant. It felt so much more personal than ordering from a generic online florist. She said they lasted nearly two weeks on her kitchen table."
"The spring tulip posy was gorgeous, all pastel pinks and creams with the most delicate scent. I have been buying flowers from Balenqui for about two years now and the quality is consistently excellent. Knowing they are grown locally in Galway makes it even better. I always feel good about supporting a small Irish farm rather than buying imported flowers."
"I gifted my mum a three-month flower subscription for Christmas and she rings me every time a new box arrives, absolutely delighted. The variety changes each month which keeps it exciting. Last month was dahlias and sweet peas, the month before was all ranunculus and anemones. The packaging is eco-friendly too, which matters to our family."
"I run a small café in Galway city and we order weekly arrangements from Balenqui to place on our counter and tables. The reaction from customers has been wonderful, people always comment on how lovely they smell and how the colours lift the space. Siobhán tailors the palette to match our interior perfectly. A genuine pleasure to work with."
"My husband surprised me with the Dahlia Luxe Arrangement for our anniversary and it was the most stunning thing I have ever received. Rich burgundy, apricot, and copper tones with berries and beautiful foliage. It looked like it belonged in a glossy magazine. The quality of the flowers is in a different league to anything you find in shops."
Birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, and corporate events. Our flowers have graced occasions of every kind across Ireland.
"We ordered flowers from Balenqui for my mother's 70th birthday party and the centrepieces were stunning. The sweet peas smelled incredible and the colour palette was exactly what we asked for. Excellent communication from start to finish. We will be back for every occasion. The flowers transformed the venue into something truly special."
"We hosted a christening celebration for our daughter and wanted something elegant but not overly formal. Siobhán designed the most beautiful arrangements using soft whites, creams, and the palest greens. She even made a little floral wreath for the christening cake table. Every detail was thoughtful and the flowers were incredibly fresh. A wonderful experience from beginning to end."
"Our company hired Balenqui for a corporate event at the Meyrick Hotel in Galway. We needed table arrangements for 15 tables plus a large reception piece. Everything was delivered and set up flawlessly. The feedback from our clients was overwhelmingly positive. Several of them asked for Balenqui's contact details because they wanted to order flowers for themselves."
"For our daughter's first communion, we wanted soft pinks and whites to match her dress. Siobhán created a beautiful hand-tied bouquet for our girl to hold and four low centrepieces for the lunch tables. The flowers were so fresh and delicate. It made the day feel very special. We received compliments from everyone at the restaurant. Thank you, Balenqui."
