De José para Usted

Thank you for stopping by our business. We pride ourselves to always provide our best to create special moments for you and your special guests. The love for celebrations began when I was a child, my parents taught me the importance of looking for an unexpected delight that will spark a smile on your face when gathering with many. That is why I decided to embark on this journey with you… to find the special moments and spark smiles all around. 

My legacy to you is my commitment to exceed your expectations. Life is too short to play it safe and not explore the exquisite and luxurious parts of celebrations. La Orquidea will take care of all the details, we simply want you to enjoy the moment. 

Gracias for believing in us and giving this Mexicano the opportunity to serve you. No te voy a falllar! (I won’t let you down!)

About José

José Gutiérrez, born and raised in Michoacán, Mexico, is a proud Chicago immigrant and owner of La Orquidea Event Planning Company. José’s event planning expertise stems from his exquisite creative floral experience for over 20 years, and it dates back to his raizes in his hometown Sahuayo, Michoacán and tributes his mamá’s tender love for flores. 

Acquired in 2002 by José as “Floreria Bianca’s Flores”, this Latino, immigrant-owned business, has been a cornerstone of the La Villita community for over 20 years.  Over time, José’s vision expanded from floral arrangements to extravagant event planning, leading to a brand revamp to “La Orquidea Event Planning”.
