Love dealing with this long time family florist. Have partnered with them for years to fill our flower needs. Doris is the best. Easy to work with and our flowers always arrive in perfect condition. Thanks Welkes!

I needed a DELIVERY done by a certain Time. They don't Open until 8:30 am, and the Funeral Homes get the 1st Priority. I do understand. I jus couldn't use Welkes. That's the Only reason I had to give them a ⭐.

Received this beautiful bouquet of flowers for Valentine's day. The red roses never bloomed very disappointed. The other flowers bloomed so pretty.

This was my first time ordering from Welke's and I will happily do so again! They are a great shop if you want to go local (which, during a pandemic we should all try to do). They do a fantastic job as you can see from this bouquet, and have tons of unique options that are all reasonable. This bouquet was about $70, but completely worth it. I picked it up Saturday and it's only blossomed and gotten more beautiful.

Welke's includes curbside pickup so you can avoid the delivery fee, and they all wear masks. There are two locations, but I got this bouquet from Welke's on North

I paid $54 for this? Like okay, I understand I bought the standard option but the colors at least couldn't be shuffled around?

Well.. I ordered flowers to be delivered for my mother's birthday Saturday. They said on their website that they would leave the flowers on the porch. Which is fine. Instead they left a sticker on her door to give them a call when she is able. She called them and they said they'll bring the flowers right out. 4 hrs later. Nothing... So she… called them again. The lady said she would have them sent right back out.....never showed up. I called the number and emailed that they claim to be 24/7....And no response. So I just spent $90 to surprise my mother during quarantine, with some nice flowers

We had to change our wedding date last minute do to Covid and our previous florist flaked. Nikki and Dave jumped right in. They were fabulous to work with... even long distance! The service and floral… arrangements exceeded our expectations! Not only were the flowers beautiful, but they also coordinated everything with our venue! I loved our centerpieces and couldn’t ask for a more beautiful huppah! I would highly recommend Welke’s!

Just FYI the casket spray for Marvin Doege that you did for a Marvin Doege was beyond beautiful--breathtaking as a matter of fact. Just thought it would be nice if someone told you. I always appreciate the work you have done for me, so when I saw this spray, I just had to ask who did it.

I have had Welke’s as my floral source for over 30 years; David and his staff have consistently provided incredible flower arrangements, stellar service and have always gone over and above just being a flower shop. You can get flowers anywhere, but Welke’s is the best!

We used Welke's House of Roses for our wedding day and we LOVED everything they did! We worked with Nikki, and from our initial details meeting through the wedding day she was extremely helpful and easy to work with. She took our vision for bouquets, corsages, ceremony and dinner style and really made it above and beyond what we expected! Everything looked absolutely beautiful, and you could really tell they cared about each aspect they were part of. Nikki and her team were able to create exactly the feel and look that we were going for and did everything without a hitch! We would highly recommend

I ordered flowers to be delivered to a close family friend at a Milwaukee hospital on Monday, November 27th. The order was confirmed online. Then on Monday I started receiving one phone call after the next from Welkes insisting that the order could not be processed because the hospital had no record of the patient's name. This went back and forth three times. Every time I spoke to someone at Welkes they blamed it another coworker and played dumb. Super fun.
Then I called the hospital directly to inquire and located the patient's name within 2 minutes. I called back Welkes to inform

Thank you so much for helping assemble a lovely bouquet for my parents anniversary. The brunette lady (sorry, I forgot her name) was very helpful and patient while I coordinated with my sister via text for her approval, too. Lovely customer service! They do have their own arrangements, but you can make your own, too. Great price as well!

Ordered flowers the morning of an anniversary. Super easy to do online and even options to have delivered before 10a or Noon. The option to pay with PayPal made it even easier. Delivery was on time and everything looked great. Plenty of options to add to flowers as well (stuffed bear, balloons, chocolates.) will use this place again.

This florist will go all out to make sure every customer has a great experience. It is family owned and run as a family. As a florist that sends flowers to many people all over the country, I can confidently suggest Welkes. They will take great care of your flower order.

Our family had a very strange request for a bouquet for our uncle's funeral. His favorite food was tomatoes so we wanted a floral arrangement that included plastic tomatoes. Doris went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and the arrangement was absolutely perfect!! We live in California, otherwise this would be our go-to place for any and all floral needs.

We had a wonderful experience with Welke's. We were sending flowers to my great uncle in the hospital when he was unexpectedly put back in ICU. Therefore, when Welke's tried to deliver the arrangement, they were unable to. The level of customer service that followed was exemplary. They immediately called us in Atlanta, GA to explain what had happened and let us know that they would make a call to the hospital every day to see if he was out of ICU. They also called me every day to let me know the status. This went on for a week. Everyone I spoke to at Welke's was friendly

I ordered a Mother's Day Bouquet online with a confirmed delivery date of 05/13. Welkes contacted me via email on 5/13 and stated that they were only open for carry outs or "very local deliveries". This information was given despite the fact that I already paid for a product with a confirmed delivery date on Mother's Day. They said that they could deliver the arrangement the day after Mother's Day lol. I will not ever use this company again and I would advise anyone else to be aware that they do not deliver their products on time!

Welke's is one of the best florists ever. I've used them for years and years for many occasions. I've had wonderful service on all of my orders. Since I live in Chicago, I've often phoned in orders and recently did it online. Their arrangements always match the picture and are of an excellent quality. For Christmas, I ordered my parents a nice winter bouquet. I called the day before to check on order and delivery times. The next day, I placed my online order. It was supposed to be sent out on Friday, but due to weather, it arrived on Saturday. They were nice in calling me to
