1. Introduction: What's your story?

First and foremost, congratulations on your engagement! On behalf of myself and the entire CJDE team, we are so happy for you both during this incredibly happy and exciting time.

My name is Christine Janda and I am the owner and executive planner and designer here at Christine Janda Design & Events. We are a team of full-service wedding planners, designers and florists. All of the work you see here and across our site and social media are all from weddings we have planned, designed and executed.

Not only are we organized, Type-A Planners but also holistic event designers that believe true event design reflects the entire guest experience. One that transcends color palettes and flower types. Our Weddings have a heart beat and I am proud of every one that we produce.

We are a Chicago based company but also travel near-and-far, bringing to life our Client's dream weddings. I believe firmly that being a wedding planner makes me a better designer, and vice versa.

At CJDE we take the time to get to know our Clients, as individuals and as couples, to help put forth truly personalized, beautiful events.

No two wedding we produce are alike; we want our Client's guests to walk in and go "ooooh, this is so THEM". I have the absolute best job in the world and am so lucky to call my Clients, friends.

We're the Wedding Planners and Designers that are also trusted confidants. We're the team you want in your corner, come wedding day and have truly seen it all.

We can't wait to begin designing YOUR dream wedding!

2. What's your experience as a wedding florist business? How many weddings are in there in your portfolio?

CJDE holds decades of Wedding floral and design experience. We believe in quality over quantity and as a company, take on a limited number of weddings a year.

To date, CJDE has produced over 200 weddings.

3. How far in advance do couples need to secure your services?

Once you're engaged, we're ready to meet with you!

4. How do you price your floral arrangements? What are the different packages that you offer and which one is your most popular package?

Every event we produce is based on the scope of our Client's weddings.

We do not believe in set packages; this is YOUR wedding. It should be designed just for the two of you.

5. How many meetings will you have with the couple, and how will they be involved?

There is no limit; we are here to do the job right!

6. Who else is in your team and how many people on your staff will be at the wedding?

We have a vast team and staff according to the scope of your wedding.

7. How would you describe your design style? (e.g. traditional, modern, rustic, organic)

We work with clients to bring to life THEIR style. With our design prowess, we understand what is needed for a successful wedding experience and balance our Client's desires with our design expertise.
