Kloeckner Preferred Flowers

I called kind of last-​minute for a same-​day delivery and they were amazing! Great customer service, timely delivery, and a seriously beautiful bouquet. I basically said «she likes lots of colors,» and they made an adorable bouquet for my mom using super fresh, beautiful, and interesting flowers. I’ll be calling back for my mom’s birthday next year :)

We had my daughter’s wedding at Café Brauer. Many vendors on their preferred list were extremely expensive. We wanted beautiful flowers but did not feel we had to overly spend. We had a decent size wedding of 220. Also, wanted a beautiful chuppah. We worked with Mark on the chuppah, high/​low flowers for tables and daughters’ /​bridesmaids bouquets. Mark Weber was excellent! Received numerous compliments on gorgeous Flowers! DO NOT HESITATE!

LOVED LOVED LOVED Everything about working with Mark and Pam for flowers for our Chicago wedding on October 10^th! They did an absolute amazing job, totally hit it out of the park. The personal flowers, centerpieces, cake flowers, everything was absolutely stunning. Mark made the process so easy, I don’t know a lot about flowers but I knew the colors/​style I was looking for and he brought it to life perfectly. He definitely had our best interest in mind and wasn’t looking to give you the it’s a wedding let’s double the price mark up a lot of vendors do. He was very reasonable and focused on high quality flowers which looked absolutely stunning. Kloeckner absolutely knocked it out of the park and I would highly recommend them to anyone and will certainly use them again for any future floral needs. Mark really knows his stuff and was there every step of the way to make sure I was comfortable with every decision and he definitely helped guide me to make sure my vision became a reality. I cannot thank you and your team enough!!! Job well done.

My husband & I were married at River Roast this past Labor Day weekend. We selected Kloeckner after meeting with Mark because we were so impressed with his level of experience, familiarity with our venue, wonderful demeanor, & the value of the flowers & services he was offering. Kloeckner did not disappoint. The flowers were all delivered promptly & were absolutely beautiful. Our ceremony & reception spaces were completely transformed & just breathtaking. Mark & Pam were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. They are very knowledgeable & their work is amazing & all for a reasonable price. Call them now.

My husband and I got married at the Murphy during Memorial Day weekend and used Kloeckner for our floral needs. Mark was a pleasure to work with and he and his staff were very responsive and had a «can do» attitude. They did an outstanding job the day of the wedding. I wanted to cry when I saw the bouquets… they were perfect! Exactly what I wanted. We received so many compliments on the flowers in the venue as well. Highly recommend Kloeckner for any of your floral needs!!!

I called from out of town at 9 am hoping to have flowers delivered to my daughter later today or even tomorrow. I know they are busy due to Mother’s Day. Instead, Arlene took my order, helped me with choices of flowers and within the hour the most glorious vase of sunflowers and hydrangeas were delivered to her. That is customer service. My highest recommendation.

My daughter just got married at Café Brauer and we used Kloeckner Preferred Flowers for all the bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony flowers. The place looked stunning! The flowers were so elegant, just exactly what my daughter wanted. Mark was so attentive and creative. He listened to what my daughter wanted and also suggested things she hadn’t thought of (candles perched high, illuminating the entire room). He is easy going, yet professional. He helped make my daughter’s wedding day worry free. Definitely worth the trip to the southwest side.

We worked with the Kloeckner team — Mark and Pam — for our wedding at Architectural Artifacts in February 2015 and would highly recommend them to others.
In the scheme of things, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on flowers and wasn’t looking for anything super elaborate. I just wanted a minimalist but classical look and Mark was extremely helpful in providing suggestions for how to bring that to life — and on budget (esp compared to some quotes we got). In addition, he was able to bring the vision to life beyond just the flowers with candles down the aisle, flowers for the chuppah and votives along entry tables and throughout the venue.
And the execution of everything was just perfect. When we went in to look at the centerpiece mock up a month before, it was exactly what we had discussed and didn’t have to change anything. And the day of the wedding, we got lots of compliments on how beautiful the flowers and bouquets were.
I would absolutely work with the team again and recommend them to others.

Mark & Pam with Kloeckner Flowers were one of the best choices we made for our wedding. I was getting married at the Murphy Auditorium, and everyone I talked to recommended calling Mark before talking to anyone else.
Mark helped me organize my thoughts about what I wanted for the bouquets and vision for the ceremony & reception. He helped me make decisions about the lay-​out for the room and advised items to incorporate or avoid based on his understanding of the venue. While I liked them during the planning process, I was blown away by how beautiful the flowers turned out! My bouquet was even more beautiful than I imagined, and the colors for the bouquet and ceremony/​reception centerpieces were absolutely perfect.
With competitive pricing and absolutely gorgeous work, it is worth venturing outside of the city for the fantastic customer service & work!

I ordered some flowers over the phone for one our clients and Irene took my order. Awesome customer service and easy phone order, very impressed!

We work with Kloeckner all the time at work so when it was time to get married, we knew we wanted to have them do the flowers. They came out so beautiful! We met with Mark once and showed him a couple ideas– the flowers were beyond beautiful for our June 14^th wedding. They also organized all the votives, set up, flip and breakdown. I never saw them the day of the wedding to even thank them. What a professional company that is the best at what they do. Thank you!

Mark really knows his stuff and is very talented at what he does. He knew my venue (The Murphy) very well and was great at making good suggestions while also incorporating everything my husband and I had envisioned for our wedding. Awesome vendor!

I worked with Mark for my October 2013 wedding at Café Brauer and he completely exceeded my expectations. Café Brauer is such beautiful space as is, I didn’t want flowers to be over powering or loud. I wanted romantic and classic. He nailed it with both the flowers and candles. He was very flexible with budget as well. He was able to create our vision while staying in our budget. Which is very important when planning a wedding in Chicago. I’m waiting on pictures from my photographer and will upload when I receive! Highly, highly recommend!

I worked with Mark for my wedding this past weekend, October 5, 2013, and I can’t describe how wonderful everything was. The flowers were fresh, beautiful, and put together well. I was most nervous about my bouquet, and when I showed up it took my breath away. It literally brought my mom to tears. It’s been two days and it’s actually still going strong. I highly recommend Kloeckner! They were very reasonably priced as well! Thank you for making my wedding beautiful!

I used Kloeckner for my wedding in September, and overall I am happy with the results. The flowers turned out beautifully, if not 100% what I expected. The prices were also extremely reasonable, compared to the ridiculous mark-​up that many places charge closer to downtown. I would advise brides to put up with the annoying drive to use Kloeckner, because it is definitely worth it. One star deducted just because Mark is a little disorganized. I would have to request changes to the proposal 2 – 3 times before they were implemented. I think he would benefit from hiring an intern to help with the logistics of wedding flowers.

I can not say enough how much of a pleasure it was to work with Mark and the rest of the Kloeckner team for our wedding at Café’ Brauer!
I came in with big visions and he made them all come to life and on a budget!
I was disappointed after meeting with a couple other florists and they came back with extremely high proposals. We had a decent budget but could not bring ourselves to spend a ridiculous amount on flowers that die the next day. When we met with Mark he was great at walking me through the whole day and what we need and don’t need. For example, he suggested using the bouquets for the head table, when other florists were pushing for full arrangements that really just block the bride and groom.
We pretty much decided to go with them instantaneously and for the next 9 months Mark or someone at Kloeckner was always quick to answer my questions. Mark always listened closely to my vision and made excellent suggestions based on other components of our wedding! His black candlesticks worked perfectly for our tall centerpieces :)
He pays close attention to detail and it was obvious as soon as you entered Café Brauer. He did candlelights around the ledges of the reception hall that were stunning and made the room sparkle. He truly has a great gift of both creativity and really listening to what the bride wants. Kloeckner nailed every aspect of my vision and then some! We have received SEVERAL compliments– many of which were that it was the most beautiful room they’ve ever seen.
Wish I could have another wedding to work with them again.
They were definitely one of my favorites to work with through wedding planning!

The flowers for our wedding, which took place at «The Murphy» on Oct 2012, were exquisite. Mark was highly recommended by the venue as well as the catering company.
I explained to him what I envisioned, and I promptly received a proposal reflecting exactly what I had requested. The flowers were gorgeous and so gracefully arranged; it was hard to believe all this was within my budget.
I feel very fortunate to have had such beautiful flowers at our wedding. Thank you Kloeckner Preferred Flowers!

Kloeckner blew us away and exceeded all expectations for our September 17 wedding. Mark and his team are consummate professionals, execute perfectly and provide superior creative direction.
From the start, Mark was patient and listened to our somewhat vague ideas, showed us examples and pictures and took our venue (huge, high ceilings) into account when creating the proposal. He was all about having fun with the designs and mixing things up but still provided us with a lot of practical guidance.
No detail was too small — at one point a small component of one of the centerpieces had to be changed to comply with fire code — though I am sure I would not have noticed, Mark made sure I was aware of and ok with the change prior to making it.
The team was also flexible — when we had a last minute change in our table count, the team worked with us and provided seamless solutions.
As our guests’ pictures appear on facebook and the like, we can’t help but notice how all of them have multiple shots of the flowers — even the guys snapped pictures — they were that gorgeous.
Mark knows the city and its venues so well — I would recommend Kloeckner for any floral occasion.
Thank you!

My family has been ordering floral arrangements from Kloeckner’s for almost 25 years. We’ve always had exceptional customer service and gorgeous floral pieces. We often find guests/​friends asking «Did you get the flowers from Kloeckner’s?» Then following the question with a statement such as: «Wow they are gorgeous.»
Q: What makes this florist so great? A: The floral designers!
The designers at Kloeckner’s are not afraid to be creative and use modern techniques to achieve a desired outcome.
Kloeckner’s did the flowers for our wedding in February 2009. Everything was gorgeous! I was extremely happy when the bridal flowers arrived at our hotel room … on time and beautiful. The flowers really completed the look. Another happy part of the day was when we walked into our reception hall to see two different centerpieces (one high; one low) with the most gorgeous colors and mixture of flowers. Just perfect!
We worked with the owner, Mark, and he was extremely accommodating and helpful. Mark did a great job of recommending various types of flowers and/​or containers due to the theme of our wedding and the time of year. We took his advice and couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Mark was also very easy to communicate with via telephone and email.

Like Edwina, Blue Plate recommended Kloeckner for our August 2009 wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. Unlike some of the other florists I visited, Mark navigated me through the process without overwhelming me with ideas too grand for my budget. We kept it simple, which is what I wanted. And it was by far the most reasonable estimate I received.
As you can see from the picture, I was truly overwhelmed when the flowers showed up on my big day. I can’t praise them enough.
