About

As a family-owned business designing stunning floral for weddings since 1934 years, we bring generations of history and talent literally to your wedding floral and décor that no one else in the Chicagoland area can give to your big day. Our middle name is “Preferred,” because that is how our couples are treated to our self-set higher standards of "Preferred" customer service.

Our tagline was given to us by a Father of the Bride by proclaiming in a ballroom, “Kloeckner's sure can create big-city style with our suburban budget.” We are known as a vendor that delivers tremendous value with fabulous floral and décor.

We work in virtually every venue & hotel downtown and in the suburbs too. Our studio is close to Midway Airport and has an impressive inventory of on-trend rental vases, vessels, and votive candles that will make your wedding look just as you’ve envisioned when combined with our always garden-fresh floral designs.

But what if you’re not sure about floral or only have a bunch of pictures pinned on your Pinterest?

No worries, Mark, the 3rd generation owner, will guide you through a floral conversation (over zoom or an in-studio consult) to understand the direction and ideas that feel right to you - all while being realistic about your budget.

Mark has a knack for finding ways to repurpose pieces from your ceremony to the reception and will have his experienced staff deliver floral on the day of your wedding as needed; for most couples, this includes:

  • The Wedding Party’s bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages can be delivered to your hotel or home early for photos
  • The Kloeckner crew can arrive at the ceremony location to set up alter pieces, aisle décor, Chuppahs, or arbors for a lovely setting to exchange vows, then remove these pieces for a second use at the reception.
  • For the reception, tabletop centerpieces, wedding party tablescape designs, focal points & table numbers, and candlescapes are set up as planned with enough time for either a sneak-peek by the couple or a few fantastic room shots for the photographer!

Oh, one more thing…well, actually two…

  1. About 2 months before your wedding, you’ll have a sample meeting where you’ll see the table centerpieces have the ability to make adjustments to the designs and review the table counts for the reception – At no charge, it's part of the preferred service we’re known for!
  2. We can help with additional wedding decor services such as event lighting, fabric from hanging panels to rolling out a crisp white aisle runner, and large-scale decor elements, including Chuppahs, arbors, and canopies.

Bottom line, with Kloeckner Preferred Flowers, you have a proven and trusted vendor that:

  • Can take care of all of your wedding décor needs
  • A team of talented designer that only works with the freshest of floral combined with stylish containers
  • It is proud to have the lowest labor rates in the city so that your floral budget will be focused on your wedding’s best look for your investment.
  • We have stood by each couple in 2020, affected by the need to postpone due to COVID, and simply changed the date on their contract to reflect their new date. We’re a solid company that supports our couples and will see them on their new wedding date.

We would love to have the opportunity to create a custom proposal with line-item pricing supported by photos that are inspirational and/or feature our recent work.

Exceeded our expectations in every way!

Mark and Kloeckner Events knocked our wedding out of the park. We couldn't have been happier! We contacted Kloeckner two months before our wedding, after another florist bailed on us. Mark saved the day.

My bridal bouquet was stunning, with a mixture of full roses, succulents, and more. My bridesmaids' bouquets were lovely and the perfect size. The groom and groomsmen's flowers were stunning and looked great against their black suits. The large bouquets at the front of the alter looked gorgeous and made such a statement, as did the table arrangements and cocktail hour flowers.

We honestly couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much, Mark and the entire team at Kloeckner. You exceeded our expectations & we so appreciated the opportunity to see our flowers before wedding day too! Everything was fantastic and our guests were floored!

My flowers were EXACTLY my vision and EVERYTHING I could have imagined and better!!! The meetings at Kloeckner were concise and fun. I LOVED working with Mark Weber and his assistant Pam. Both incredibly professional and accommodating. Not pushy and went with my ideas. The flowers were delivered the morning of the wedding to where I was getting ready and I was shocked by their beauty. It was exactly how I wanted it! The reception hall was beautifully decorated to my vision as well from top to bottom - with gorgeous votive candles everywhere adding an extra special touch.

This is a family business that has been running for a very long time. Mark Weber loves what he does and it shows in his work... also the prices can't be beat!

Thank you!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
