Hear from Our Customers
You’ve seen it before. The online photo shows a lush arrangement, and what arrives looks like someone grabbed leftovers from yesterday’s batch. That’s not how we work.
Every birthday bouquet that leaves our shop at 3 West 51st Street gets checked twice. Fresh stems, clean presentation, and delivered in a way that doesn’t embarrass you or disappoint the recipient. If you’re sending happy birthday flowers to someone’s office in Times Square or their apartment near Central Park West, it arrives looking like you meant it.
We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in Midtown. You’re paying for flowers that last more than two days, arrangements that match the occasion, and delivery that happens when we say it will. Most of our customers are dealing with tight schedules, last-minute plans, or high expectations from the person receiving the gift. We handle all three without the drama.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving Manhattan for years as a family-owned business. We’re not a call center routing your order to whoever’s available. We’re a local florist in Theater District, NY, and we handle every arrangement ourselves.
Our location puts us minutes from Broadway theaters, corporate offices, and residential buildings across Midtown. That’s why we can promise same-day delivery when you order by 1pm. We know the neighborhoods, the doormen, the loading docks, and how to get your birthday roses where they need to go without the runaround.
Theater District residents and workers expect things done right the first time. We’ve built our reputation on that standard, not on apologies and refunds.
You place your order online or call us directly at the shop. If it’s before 1pm and you need it today, we’ll make it happen. If you’re planning ahead, pick your delivery date and we’ll have it there.
We design the birthday bouquet based on what you ordered. Not a “designer’s choice” interpretation that looks nothing like the picture. If you ordered roses, you get roses. If you want specific colors, we match them. If you have special requests, we accommodate them when possible.
Delivery happens by 5pm for same-day orders anywhere in Manhattan. Our team hand-delivers to the address you provide. If there’s an issue with access or the recipient isn’t available, we contact you immediately instead of leaving you wondering. You’ll know when it’s delivered, and so will they.

Every arrangement includes fresh flowers sourced from top growers, not whatever’s left at the wholesale market. Birthday roses come as long-stem cuts in red, white, pink, or peach depending on what you choose. Mixed bouquets include seasonal blooms arranged for visual impact, not just filler and greenery.
Presentation matters in Theater District, NY. This is a neighborhood where people notice details. Your arrangement arrives in proper packaging with a card if you include a message. No cracked vases, no drooping stems, no shortcuts.
We also handle corporate birthday flower delivery for offices throughout Midtown. If you’re managing gifts for employees or clients, we can set up recurring orders or accommodate bulk requests. Many companies in the area use us for consistent quality without the hassle of coordinating with multiple vendors.
Same-day delivery covers all five boroughs, but our fastest turnaround is in Manhattan where we’re based. If you’re sending flowers to someone working in a Broadway theater, staying in a Midtown hotel, or living in one of the residential towers near Rockefeller Center, we’ll get there.
Yes, if you order by 1pm. That’s the cutoff for same-day delivery anywhere in Manhattan, including Theater District, Times Square, Hell’s Kitchen, and Midtown East.
After 1pm, we can usually still accommodate next-day delivery. If it’s an emergency and you’re past the cutoff, call us directly. We’ve handled last-minute requests before, and if it’s physically possible, we’ll make it work.
The reason we can do this reliably is location. We’re at 3 West 51st Street, which puts us in the center of where most deliveries are going. We’re not coordinating with a regional hub or third-party drivers. Our team delivers directly, which means fewer chances for delays or miscommunication.
We contact you. If the recipient isn’t available and there’s no doorman or safe place to leave the flowers, we don’t just abandon them or mark it as delivered.
You’ll get a call or message letting you know the situation. From there, we can redeliver later the same day, leave them with building staff if that’s an option, or coordinate a new delivery time that works. Most buildings in Theater District have concierge or front desk services, so this rarely becomes an issue.
If you’re sending flowers to someone’s office, make sure you include the company name and floor number. That helps our delivery team get past security and directly to the right person. For residential deliveries, apartment numbers and any building access codes make the process smoother.
Yes. Roses are popular for birthdays, but they’re not the only option. We carry seasonal blooms, mixed arrangements, lilies, orchids, and custom designs depending on what you’re looking for.
If the recipient has a favorite flower or color, let us know when you order. We’ll build the arrangement around that. If you’re not sure what they’d like, our team can recommend options based on the occasion and your budget.
Some customers prefer brighter, more colorful arrangements for birthdays instead of the traditional red roses. Others want something elegant and understated. We adjust based on what you tell us, not what we think looks good. This is your gift, and it should reflect your intent.
Arrangements start around $75 and go up depending on size, flower type, and customization. Same-day delivery in Manhattan is included if you order by 1pm. Rush requests or deliveries outside Manhattan may have additional fees.
You’re not paying for cheap filler and a markup. You’re paying for fresh flowers, professional design, and reliable delivery. The difference shows up in how long the arrangement lasts and how it looks when it arrives.
If you’re working within a specific budget, tell us upfront. We’ll design something that works without cutting corners or padding the arrangement with low-quality stems. Most of our customers in Theater District are used to premium pricing, but they also expect premium results. That’s the standard we operate on.
Contact us immediately, and we’ll fix it. If the arrangement was damaged in delivery, we’ll send a replacement the same day if possible. If what arrived doesn’t match what you ordered, we’ll make it right.
This doesn’t happen often because we check every arrangement before it leaves and our delivery team handles them carefully. But if something goes wrong, we take responsibility instead of pointing fingers or making you fight for a refund.
We’ve been in Theater District long enough to know that our reputation depends on how we handle problems, not just how we handle perfect orders. If you’re not satisfied, we want to know about it so we can correct it.
