Looks like Japanese snowball Viburnum plicatum 'Mariesii'' or Viburnum plicatum tomentosum "Summer Snowflake"

Sorry Michael but I don't think you are right with Cornus florida. The leaves you show are toothed and matt whereas C. florida has shiny, untoothed leaves.
Mind you, I can't offer an alternative to Viburnum. I am confused. Confused Confused
