So beautiful and elegant looking! She had exactly what we needed for our copper and cobalt blue wedding!!!

Michele's linens are GORGEOUS! She had a ton of inspiration photos to show us with our color combination, but when it came to the day of, it was so much better than I imagined! Our colors were black, fuchsia, and gold, and I added champagne glitter table runners. I had no idea how amazingly beautiful it was going to look with all our decor. Michele did an incredible job, and her linens enhanced our venue and decor.

Where to even begin?, Michele is the epitome of class and calm in the middle of what can be a hectic time for the bride, groom and/or families. I first had the pleasure of Michele styling, planning and designing for my own wedding in 1997. She paid immense attention to detail. She was a cheerleader, friend and at times, guard dog for myself as the bride. Her work was impeccable and everyone raved about my flowers. Fast forward 24 years and I was ecstatic to be able to bring Michele’s touch into my own daughter’s wedding. We live in Oklahoma but she worked with us every step of the way to customize the look and mood of the big day. Michele traveled here for our event and from the moment she arrived her entire being was focused on making my daughter’s dreams come true! Her work rivals anything you will find on Pinterest or mood boards. She WILL FAR EXCEED your expectations!! With a lot of companies to choose from locally, we still found it worth every penny to bring Michele in for the special day!! The best thing about working with someone who is so in tune to the bride, is the ability of the bride’s support system to relax and know that not a single thing will be out of place come the big day!! My only comment is if you decide to hire Grand Designs, pay the extra money for an excellent photographer because you will want to capture every part of what Michele creates for you!!

Absolutely phenomenal work. We were stunned at how gorgeous it turned out. We knew Michele did awesome work, but seeing it in action at my own event was incredible. We could not have been happier with the amazing work she did at the Charleston Event Center!

Michele was so wonderful to work with! I was luck enough to see her work at our venue during my tour there, and I knew that hiring her back would be absolutely necessary! She turned an already wonderful venue into an absolutely magical space. Her designs and lighting knowledge really shone through in just how perfect everything was for the reception. I cannot say enough good things about her!

Michele did an amazing job at our daughter’s wedding! She was very professional and the decor and flowers looked amazing. She went above and beyond to make the day special for us.

Michele took care of us well when we had to rescheduled my daughters wedding and change locations. She updated our service order and made the new venue location look beautiful! She had not worked with this venue and found even more ways to make this venue even better!

Michele from Grand Designs was phenomenal and did amazing making our ceremony and reception space beautiful. Everything turned out amazing thanks to her. She was so helpful, calm and fun to work with and became a friend to us throughout the process of wedding planning during covid. As a bride who didn’t even know where to begin with decorating the large space of our venue, Grand Designs was so incredibly helpful and I can’t recommend them enough!

We were married on August 8 and Michele strung the draping/lights inside our reception hall, strung the bistro lights outside on the veranda and also hung the sash on our ceremony arbor. She did a fantastic job and it looked absolutely amazing!!

Michele is a wonderful person to work with! She made the venue absolutely beautiful! She replied promptly and was upfront about all costs.

I got married Aug 3rd and had Michele do the deco and it was amazing. The drapery was beautiful. The chairs looked so pretty and was absolutely amazed once I walked into the room. BEAUTIFUL!!

Michele was the designer for my daughter's wedding. The room could not have looked more gorgeous! Michele's attention to detail and her obvious talent at transforming a room, combined with her wonderful personality and willingness to go above and beyond, played a big part in making the wedding day magical. I would highly recommend Grand Designs to anyone looking for beautiful wedding designing.

We used Grand Design for our wedding this last weekend and they made our venue breathtakingly beautiful. My guests commented on it all night that they had never been to a wedding so beautiful! Working with Michele is a dream and she can make any room beautiful! She is such a doll and amazing at what she does!

Thorough service! From the planning meetings, responsiveness, day-of, to cleanup, Michelle and her team were ON TOP of my day and exceed my expectations. I have since used her in my "work world" for decor needs; When you find someone this talented, you hang on to them.

They hung bistro lights for our reception at Elm Creek Park Reserve and did a fantastic job. Michele was very responsive and easy to work with. We had a late request to hang a wreath on the fireplace and she made it happen, no problem. She even gave me money back the day of because the job was easier than they thought. To top it off, the wreath got left behind accidentally and they brought it to our house the next day. So awesome! I would highly recommend them

My wedding reception was absolutely stunning thanks to Michele. It was truly like something out of a magazine, and I couldn't have asked for anything more! Prior to our first meeting, I sent her just a few photos of my inspired look. By the time I sat down with her, she had already pulled samples and captured my entire vision. She is so talented and passionate about what she does! And it definitely shows with the final product. Thank you Michele for making my wedding reception so beautiful!!

3/15/2017 • Dan A

They couldn't have made my daughters wedding anymore beautiful! Thank you Michele and your crew!

Grand Designs did an amazing job with the draping at our reception and Michele was wonderful to work with!

10/05/2016 • Brittany M

Grand Designs provided our table linens for our reception. Michele was great and went to extraordinary lengths to get just the color I wanted. She even sent me several pictures of different set up ideas after we had met in person. I had the set-up and take down at the end of the night which was well worth the money and hassle free. I did not price out other options as this was the vendor associated with my venue so I am not sure how cost compares to other companies but the service I received was exceptional.

Grand designs provided our linens for our reception and they looked great. We requested colors they did not have so they went out of their way to get brand new linens which were a nice touch. They also provided great value for our money and had convenient pickup/drop off times. I would highly recommend Grand Designs.

Grand designs was wonderful to work with - we loved this family business, and everything at our venue from the table cloths, chair, uplighting and centerpieces was just perfect. It was also great to know that they would take care of all of the clean up of their items at the end of the night without additional charge. Highly recommended!

Grand Design did an amazing job with our decor. The sequin high top tablecloths were absolutely breath taking and their candelabras were THE icing on the cake. I literally had tears when I saw the final results. Michele was so great to work with and I felt like she was one of my very dear friends. She came and set everything up and also tore down at the end of the night which takes a huge load off of all involved. Hi highly recommend Grand Designs for all your wedding decor!

After being referred to Grand Designs by 2 of my coworkers I booked them for my wedding. WOW--my husband and I were blown away by the awesome customer service not to mention the attention to detail! Michele was so helpful in recommending the perfect décor for my event. I had over 400 guests and everyone was in awe of the beautiful layout and draping at my reception! I would recommend Grand Designs to anyone who is planning their wedding for an ultimate experience!

Grand Designs did a beautiful job decorating for our wedding. They were very easy to work with had great ideas for making our wedding beautiful.

We couldn't be happier with every detail of our wedding decor! When we first walked through the doors, I knew it would be nice....what I didn't expect was to be speechless! It was everything I dreamed of and more. We've watched the video several times and can't believe how our vision became real. Having our friends and family together, in such a beautiful space was a once in a lifetime experience. We strongly recommend the Grand Designs team....thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was not crazy about the idea of putting up draping, but I knew I wanted something to fill the space of our venue. Grand designs offers "bistro lighting" which was the perfect option for our event. They were reliable and quick, the venue was lit when we arrived and they took care of taking them down as well.

8/11/2015 • Alexis K

Grand Designs did the drapery at our wedding at the Vadnais Heights Commons, and it was absolutely gorgeous! We had additional drapery where our ceremony was held and I could not have been more happier!

8/10/2015 • Michele

We couldn't have loved the venue more than we did on our wedding day! It was simply breathtaking and although I had all of the details written down, we never imagined it to be so beautiful! Their pricing was about 30% less than the other companies we checked and the pricing was exactly what we expected. The owners of Grand Designs were actually on site the day of and were pleased to see it come together. We wish it wasn't over and can't wait for the photographer to get back with the pics! Loved this company and recommend them to all.

I sent a picture to Michelle of my vision for the big day. She loved it and delivered the vision I had. She was very hard to get a hold of via e-mail and phone but when I did, she seemed to understand "my wants". She sent me an initial invoice which was a few thousand dollars off of what we originally communicated over the phone. To my surprise I had to readjust what I wanted and scale down on the amount of chandeliers. We talked through different options to cut the price and I ended up with a beautiful venue. I rented chair covers, chargers and chandeliers from her. The quality was good but I do believe her prices are high. $4.00 for sash and chair cover (including installation/removal). My chandeliers were $250.00 per chandelier.

7/10/2014 • Rebecca L

Our head table, chair covers with sashes, and backdrop looked fantastic! I definitely recommend working with Michele!

11/12/2013 • Tami J

We used Grand Designs LLC for draping at our venue. They were on time to set up and take down, and did a stunning job. Communication was prompt and friendly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

6/03/2013 • Angie B

Michele and Grand Designs did our chair covers, chair sashes and drapery and it looked awe-inspirering! When I say our reception site, my breath was taken away. They did such a fantastic job I couldn't have asked for anything better. So many of my guests commented on how taken away they were. Truely phenominal job!

10/11/2012 • Melissa W

Wow. We hired Grand Designs to do our chair coverings, ceiling draping, and centerpieces. I met with Michele and loved her. She listened to my vision and completely got it. She was flexible and easy to work with and I was pleasantly surprised to see that she was on location setting up the day of the wedding! She really delivered on the vision we'd created and I could not be happier. Her prices are fair and you can trust her to deliver. She was phenomenal.

6/22/2012 • Christina D

We were very happy with Michele and her suggestions for decor. The chair covers and sashes, ceiling draping and table runners were perfect. Price was better than most.

5/22/2012 • Stephanie M

Grand Designs was absolutely amazing to work with!! When I walked in the finished reception hall the first time, it was breathtaking! Not only did they provide gorgeous draping, chair covers, and table cloths for our wedding, but they went above and beyond to follow up and make sure we had what we needed and that we had the wedding we were looking for! Their service was excellent and I would highly recommend them to any bride. Their pricing might be slightly higher than some others, but it was well worth it! It was nice to know that part of decorating was in good hands and I could check that off the list early!

5/22/2012 • Kayla H

We had draping for behind our head table and the head table. It look great, but I feel the price was a little high compared to others out there. We went with Grand Designs as it was recommended by our wedding coordinator.
