Our company used Wilhelmina to create decorations for the Grand Opening of our new building. Lauri was so great to work with. Her decorations were beautiful, and she was very friendly. Customer service was outstanding as well. There was an issue with one of our columns due to the outdoor elements and she drove right over to the facility to fix the issue. She also texted a half an hour prior to the event just to check in and make sure everything was still looking good. I highly recommend Wilhelmina!Posted on Lauren FinegoldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lauri is the best!!
