Dedicated, Fantasic Planning

Victoria and Catherine gave personalized and wonderful advice in picking vendors, contracting, dealing with difficult situations, coordinating all vendors, and finally the timeline. They made everything perfect for my daughter and her husband’s special day! With Victoria and Catherine there, I was able to relax and enjoy the festivities! Guests really enjoyed themselves. We are still receiving compliments on a wonderful event!

Nothing but Amazing!

My wedding day was the best day of my life: magical, joyous, surreal. I have to preview my message with how I truly do not think that this review will illustrate how much I value working with Kensington Events, and specifically Victoria, because without their excellence in detail, planning and working under pressure it would not have been the perfect day that came to fruition
With the invaluable help Victoria we efficiently checked off our list of “to do’s”. Do you know how hard it is to find a venue in Chicago within a year and a half, let alone 7 months? Hard! But we did it! We always felt supported and in the loop during the planning process by way of update emails, planning meetings and phone conferences. Anyone would be extremely lucky to work with Kensington Event! You won’t be disappointed!!

Baby Shower

To say that I was speechless when I walked into my Baby Shower is a complete understatement. I was literally blown away when I walked in and saw the impeccable work that Victoria and the Kensington team did. They did the planning and floral decor for my event and literally brought me to tears when I entered the room! From one detail to the next , I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that this shower was ours! From the moment you enter the room to see the card escort table to all the centerpieces and can I mention this FLOWER WALL! If that isn't enough, the dessert and the cake were all placed on a beautiful cart. Guests were leaving and mentioning that they have never been or seen a shower as beautiful as mine. You will not be disappointed with the work in any event that Victoria and the Kensington team do. If you're looking to host an event where you want to be blown away and having your guests leave the way mine did, hire Kensington !!

I have received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! I was so grateful Victoria was so helpful ,professional and knowledgeable in every aspect of planning and ensuring that the decor was simply gorgeous! My daughter and Son-in-Law were in complete shock when they saw the room, and could not stop raving about how beautiful everything was!

Highly recommended

Victoria was very easy to work with! We had about a month to plan our entire wedding and she was great with giving us options of vendors, working with our budget, tell us where to use more of our budget and where we can use less. Her suggestions were great and our wedding was awesome! Victoria and her team really went above and beyond and my wife and I are thankful to her work. Highly recommend Victoria and her team for planning your wedding!

The most amazing planner

We were recommended to Victoria at Kensington by Anamaria Vieriu Photography and we couldnt be more happy! In just a little over a month, Victoria planned our entire wedding! She offered us a few planning options but we needed something more custom between her Windsor and St James package and she quickly came up with a custom option that fit us best. My husband and I knew we wanted to have our door elements with beautiful landscape and Victoria was great at making recommendations and booking walk-troughs the following couple of days. I fell in love with the Grove/Redfield Estate. Victoria helped with negotiations, booking and recommending many of our other vendors. She came to the tasting, offered advice on menu and then put together a timeline and vendor list that allowed things to run very smoothly. We also had Victoria create our bridal party flowers as we used faux flowers for decor and I was blown away with her creations. She surprised me with Peonies and placed a photo of my late grandmother on the handle of my bouquet. It was so personal and special to me that she will never know how much it truly meant.Our guests were not only impressed with our wedding and all the elements, but they complimented us on Victoria and her team's work and how beautiful the day was! Thank you Victoria for all of you help! We highly recommend Victoria and her team for Planning any special event!

Kensington Florals was Amazing

As the mother of the bride , I had an amazing experience working with Kensington Florals for my daughter’s wedding. They paid close attention to details and set a timeline which helped tremendously in meeting deadlines. They provided the florals as well as day of wedding coordination. I can’t say enough about how knowledge Victoria is about what works in having a beautiful and successful event. I am so happy the decision was made to have them coordinate this wonderful once in a lifetime event. They kept up and communicated with all vendors as well as provided recommendations for vendors they used successfully in the past. They did a fabulous job and communicated thoughtfully throughout the process. This resulted in the most beautiful day for my daughters wedding and a peace of mind moment for me. Thank you to Kensington and particularly Victoria and Franklin for a job well done.

Elegant, Romantic, Stunning Wedding

It's thanks to Kensington Florals and Events that my Son's and Daughter-in-laws wedding was so elegant, and stunning that our guests are still talking about it! Victoria created gorgeous tall, white floral pieces and used hundreds of candles to embellish the Historic Armour House Mansion. The beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres were filled with peonies, gardenias, and stephanotis. Every detail was perfectly executed by Victoria and her team. Her top-notch planning skills made certain that the event was flawless and will forever be remembered by my son and his wife as their dream wedding! I highly recommend Kensington Florals and Events to everyone!

Baby Shower

Saying that I was happy with Kensington Florals and Events is an understatement. Victoria and her team brought us and our guests to a different world with our Up Up and away hot air balloon themed baby shower. The professionalism, care, creativity and love they put into their work, is second to none!!! I will use Kensington and recommend them from here on out.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've worked with many planners and full service wedding service providers alike, and Kensington stands apart (and ahead) of the pack. I was introduced to Kensington when I shot the now Event Planners wedding last year, and from the moment I walked in, I was greeting with such passion and professionalism. Then during a sit down meeting with Victoria, we exchanged great stories about past events and just our overall love towards the industry. And let me tell you, Victoria and the entire staff of Kensington eats, sleeps, and breaths weddings. It's very encouraging to see a company be so attentive to their clients. It really is such a privilege to be considered at one of their recommended photographers when they can have their choice of ANY shooter they want. Then apart from them as people, the products that they created are BEAUTIFUL. They just absolutely ooze creativity. If elegant isn't your style, they can provide a modern look. If either one of those are not your speed, then vintage is no matter for them. They can create a look that is custom tailored to meet anyone's very specific needs. No cookie-cutter stuff here. I'm looking forward to a very long, and enjoyable future with Kensington, and I suggest that you do the same. You will not be disappointed.
