    Kristen was the best florist I could ever imagine to work with. She took my floral dreams and brought them to life. She is so creative and innovative. I talked to a lot of florists in the hiring process, and Kristen was the only one who took the time to go through specific colors, flowers, shapes with me. We could not have been happier with Kristen's work. She is unique, and you won't find another florist like her.

    I have worked with Kristen Janes of Kio Kreations on numerous projects, ranging from kids' birthdays to client/business sponsor dinner parties. Kristen is such a creative person, and her displays are always stunning. She is an absolute delight to work with as well. I will continue hiring her at every party opportunity!

    Kio Kreations is the absolute best for balloons, event planning and de! I have used Kristen for several parties for my 5 children and her design, attention to detail and execution are unparalleled. She truly goes above and beyond to bring her client's vision to life and I look forward to using her for years to come!

    Recently I wanted some balloons for my daughter's 5th birthday, and Kristen definitely came through. The installation was very sturdy in the October weather, and the balloons were gorgeous, exactly portraying the theme I wanted, a mermaid theme. She did an amazing job, and we received a lot of compliments from family and neighbors. The price for the ballons was very affordable too, and they were a hit with my daughter. She loved them, and she kept some of them after the party, and some of the balloons are still going strong. I definitely recommend Kio Kreations for party decorations, especially balloons.

    I got married last September and during the planning process I wasn't sure if I had wanted flowers at my wedding. I knew I needed something but I needed it to be unique and true to my husband and me. I went in w lots of skepticism and at first I was only hunting for a florist w a price focus. But then I met Kristen. Kristen was absolutely amazing. She understood where I was coming from; I did not want to be a cookie cutter bride. I did not like the typical wedding flowers that wilted by the end of the day and I did not want to spend an exorbitant amount on flowers to get the room filled. Kristen heard me out and started designing my floral centerpieces w grape wood and played w height. Also, she totally expanded my horizons on what can be used as a centerpiece. (I had cabbages in my floral centerpieces!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!) The texture, colors and the general "umph" of the centerpieces were amazing. And my bouquet was to die for. Since then I've dried out my centerpieces and kept the seeds. I plan to plant them when summer rolls around. Thank you so much Kristen and I hope I get to work w you again soon!! Xoxo

    We used Kio Kreations for my daughters wedding this past August 2018. The floral arrangements and bouquets were just beautiful. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would !they were a pleasure to work with and never pushy and will work with you and your budget to give you the most beautiful flower arrangements. We loved them and highly recommend them !

    Kristen was a pleasure to work with. I wasn't a person who was excited about my flowers until we met with Kristen. She has so many amazing ideas and executed them all perfectly. I had no questions or concerns about how things would go on my wedding day, which was SO appreciated. Her and her team set up, moved, re-set up, and broke down everything exactly as planned and we could not stop talking about how great everything looked. If you have a vision for your day, great! But overall I would encourage you to let her run with her ideas... she truly puts a lot of passion into her work and it shows!

    Kristen and her entire team were hands down the best vendors we could have used on our wedding day. we couldn't afford to have a day of coordinator so I had a lot of anxiety with trusting my vision to many of our other vendors. With Kio Kreations I had full trust in Kristen and her team to make every vision we had come to life. Whenever anyone asks me for recommendations on people in the Chicago area to use for wedding vendors, Kio Kreations is the first one I always name. If you're reading this, stop what you're doing and book Kio right now. In the off season from wedding she offers many fun different floral design classes of which my mom and I have taken 3 now. Every one is super fun and totally worth the investment! My succulent terrarium from class is still alive and beautifully adorning our home 3 months later.

    If you are looking for the MOST TALENTED florist in the business, Kristen from Kio Kreations is your girl! I honestly don't even have the words to describe how talented and creative this woman is! I decided to meet with Kristen over a year and half before our wedding because upon looking at her work, I knew that she could book far in advance. When I sat down with Kristen, I showed her a few pictures of flowers I liked and explained my vision and Kristen just seemed to really get it. Kristen had a clear idea of how I wanted our venue, the Danada House, to look and even showed me samples of flowers that had a similar look to what I wanted for our wedding. Kristen was the first and only florist that I met with and it honestly was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! On the day of the wedding I can only use one word to describe Kristen's work: PERFECTION! I was completely blown away at the stunning bouquets and how beautiful the cocktail areas and reception space looked at the Danada House. I could not have imagined things looking more perfect! After the wedding ended, the one thing my mom could not stop talking about was how GORGEOUS the flowers were. I wish I still had every single arrangement she made! I also wanted to add that for the amount of flowers we had (which was a lot), I thought Kristen's pricing was very reasonable! Kristen is extremely passionate about her work and is very willing to work with you to get you what you want in your budget. I highly recommend Kristen and her team at Kio Kreations!!

    Kristen was super easy to work with and of course very creative with her florals! I met her at least 3 times (my choice) as I had to make changes in the floral order at least a dozen times. She was patient and listened to my needs and wants. On one of the meetings actually Kristen went out of her to come and meet me again ( she was not feeling well). My bouquet was phenomenal! Everyone looked good with the flowers she made. Highly recommended!

    It took two weeks after my destination wedding weekend to figure out how to write a review about my wedding flowers. Not just because I'm a male writing about flowers, but instead, trying to describe such beauty in a matter of a few words is more difficult than I had imagined. So many adjectives come to mind when I think of Kio Kreation's work: Gorgeous, fabulous, masculine, unique, colorful, serene...I could go on. When meeting with the Kreative Kio herself, Kristen, she first helped my husband and I decide on our wedding colors since we were completely unsure. After describing our ceremony being performing outdoors along the Mississippi River during the Autumn in Galena, Illinois, we all decided on tangerine and lime green. Besides determining what our wedding colors would be, I wanted to get across my request for the flowers to be beautiful yet still masculine. After all, it was for a gay wedding. This was not an obstacle for Kristen. She is extremely talented and already had hundreds of flower species come to mind that she wanted to use. She used her computer to show us her ideas on a floral database. Kristen captured not only exactly what I desired, but beyond my expectations. When my sister-in-law arrived with the flowers in her car, I had never seen floral arrangements that were so damn spectacular. Not only does she only use fresh and in-season flowers, I felt like I would need to be on a month-long excursion in the Amazon to find such flowers. The flowers arrive in individual boxes with a sticker stating the names/titles of each wedding participant. Don't believe me?

    I had the pleasure of working with Cindy Shanholtz of Effortless Events for our company's 100th…read moreanniversary dinner and celebration, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment we began planning, Cindy's attention to detail, professionalism, and creativity shone through at every step. Cindy took the time to truly understand our vision for the event and worked tirelessly to bring it to life in a way that exceeded all expectations. She seamlessly coordinated every aspect, from the venue selection and decor to the catering and entertainment. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her organizational skills ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of the event. The 100th anniversary dinner itself was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere Cindy created was elegant and celebratory, perfectly reflecting our company's history while looking forward to its future. Our guests were wowed by the thoughtful touches, from the custom table settings to the beautifully designed timeline of our company's milestones. What really set Cindy apart was her ability to handle every challenge with grace and poise. Despite the complexities of planning such a significant event, she kept everything stress-free for our team, managing all logistics and vendors without missing a beat. It was clear that Cindy and her team truly cared about making this milestone event unforgettable. If you're looking for an event planner who can turn your vision into a flawless reality, Cindy Shanholtz and Effortless Events are the way to go. She made our 100th anniversary celebration an extraordinary experience, and I can't wait to work with her again in the future! Holly Both VP Sales & Marketing, Plymouth Tube Co.

    This is my 2nd posting for Cindy and her team at Effortless events. I recently hired them for…read moreanother wedding celebration in Chicago for my daughter who got married in DC. Again, they did not disappoint. Cindy's attention to detail is remarkable. She recommended the venue and took the reigns. From the flowers, decor and layout it was perfect. She suggested so many fun things...like a s'mores bar for dessert where guests assembled and "cooked" their own! We had mini individual cast iron skillets with fresh chocolate chip cookies and guests could top them with ice cream. Everyone raved about it and EE did it all...I just showed up and enjoyed it. Thanks Cindy + team!
