CJ Matsumoto & Sons

STUNNING. We heard of Chris and Deb (Matsumoto) from a family friend of ours who coordinates major events and went to see them for my wedding back in November (2015). Wow. Chris, the owner, is a true visionary and artist. He can create an arrangement that is so beautiful it should be restored in a museum for eternity. His pieces are works of art, if that is what you are looking for. CJ Matsumoto can also create very traditional and simple arrangements too. It just depends on what you are looking for, which is where Deb comes in. Deb brings such a unique perspective to the table because she has a background in catering major events in the hospitality industry. SO, if you are planning a major event yourself like a wedding or a big party, she can help you with table perspective, scale, design and ideas.
We had such an amazing experience with CJ Matsumoto & Sons that we are looking for excuses to have them design and create for us again! The best, do yourself a favor and look no further.

Debra Matsumoto is the greatest! She has a real eye for what you want! So happy with our monthly delivery and special events!!! So lucky to have found CJ Matsumoto & Sons & wife!

I have ordered flowers from Chris at CJ Matsumoto & Sons for over a decade. Not only are they creative in their arrangements, but they never fail to accommodate my last minute orders, and always come through on time as promised. Over the years, I have made a few unusual requests such as a «lettuce» arrangement for my sister-​in-​law who eats salads at every opportunity, and what they created was a combination of different types of lettuce in a gorgeous one of a kind arrangement that defies description.

No better florist in town. It made my daughters wedding that much more special. The flowers were impeccable, it made it look like a truly dream location. Not enough words to say how pleased I am!

Been using them for years. Started when I worked in the film business in the late-​nineties. Have used them for business and personal events, including my father’s funeral. Chris and his staff are the best and their arrangements are amazing! The only florist to use in LA. Absolutely the best.

Great work, fairly reasonable but you have to hound them for a receipt if you order & pay over the phone. It kinda takes away from the customer service experience, but I’ll definitely use them again because the quality of their flowers makes up for the lack of customer service.

Well if there was a 6^th star CJ’s would be the place I would give it to ! Debra & Cris & all there employees are the nicest & most genuine people I have dealt with in a long time it was truly a refreshing experience buying Valentine’s Day flowers from this establishment ! I told the lady that they could have complete artistic license to creat something spectacular ! Oh boy my wife & I were truly blown away with what arrived ! I think I will let the pictures do the talking ! Thanks so much from both of us you guys are the Best !!!

I’ve used them for work (ordering cast bouquets) over the years & have always been impressed with their friendliness & clean yet beautiful floral design.
So when I decided to reach out to them for my elopement flowers, I was not disappointed. Even though I was just ordering my bouquet & the groom’s boutonnière I was treated with the same excellent service & respect of someone ordering $ 1000s worth of flowers. Deb & her team made me feel at ease & delivered something quite extraordinary for our quick & simple affair.
I can’t imagine ever going to another florist — they have a devoted customer in me for life. I can’t recommend them enough! Whether getting flowers for large gatherings or small affairs, their prices, quality & customer service can’t be beat!

I work at a university and use CJ Matsumoto for ALL our events. David is such a wonderful, easy person to work with. Why 5 stars? I would give them 20 if I could. Their flowers/​arrangements are amazing! Every time we have an event people always ask me where did we order those beautiful arrangements. They are unique. David will suggest colors and designs. They are extremely reliable. You will not be disappointed! Its obvious he does a great job. Read all of these reviews.

Chris and David are unbelievable patient, generous and creative. Several times I have been forced to use other companies (one very well known as well as we were very disappointed) but I only recommend CJ Matsumoto. If you have a gala chair /​board member that is difficult have them meet with Chris. He totally gets it. I work at a nonprofit now and they understand our limitations. No matter what the occasion they will work with you to get your ideas turned into something spectacular. Five stars. I would give them ten if I could. Also, going to their warehouse is just a very cool experience in itself because it looks like a prop warehouse — loaded with everything you can imagine.

Excellent. They just did my wedding and it looked spectacular. They are friendly, professional and have very fair prices.

I have been a client for many years of this amazing design florist.
The floral designs are truly amazing and very creative.
The blooming plants such as orchid plants are so beautiful have sent so many as gifts that are always are big hit.
The staff is very friendly, highly skilled and always take great care of their clients.
Daily delivery in the LA area and also throughout the US and internationally is very helpful when you need to send a gift quickly.
Five stars for an excellent job every time.

These guys do the flowers for the SAG Awards (where I work) and so I just had to have them do the flowers for my wedding. Let me tell you, they came out just beautiful! They made the entire outdoor wedding come to life with gorgeous ambiance! Everyone who was there said the wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to or at least in many many years.
The employees were extremely nice and easy to work with. If you have changes to your order they are accommodating and they drive all over southern california.
They can do anything you want, put together any combination and if you let them have creative control, you def will not regret it. Just tell them your colors and your favorite flower and the arrangements wil be amazing!
Here is the link to my wedding video so you can see them. Look in the background.

What do you do on Valentine’s Day when your girlfriend is a therapist who has to keep late hours in order to accommodate her clients? First you order flowers from CJ Matsumoto & Sons, and secondly you have a dinner made with aromatic Indian spices waiting for her when she gets home.
Because she is a marriage and family therapist, I thought it would be inappropriate to have a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to her office while she is meeting with someone who may very well be suffering from a relationship crisis on the very day that some of us are celebrating love. I took it upon myself to pick up the flowers myself. When I arrived at the address, which by the way is now all the way downtown, I was surprised to find a red brick industrial style building in a location that I would not want to visit at night, and no signage. Hardly the typical walk-​in florist that one is used to.
By the way, this is only my second 5-​star rating for anything, and I have never Unilocaled a retail business before. Until now I have seen no point in doing so. This florist deserves the rating for the exceptional and creative work that they do. The bouquet was amazing, and well worth the price that I paid. I had hoped to post a picture, but I dropped my cellphone and cannot access my pictures. Suffice it to say that it made the other flowers that people were posting on Facebook pale in comparison.
I will never order flowers from anywhere else if I can avoid it. I sensed from my visit that CJ Matsumoto & Sons caters to hotels and large businesses; however, they treated me as if every customer counts. I am grateful, my lady is grateful, and hopefully she is feeling the love.
