Has anyone used Grand Design linen company?  Moments Like this just canceled on me for THIS FRIDAY!!!  I want to make sure I am using a reputable company this time.  Please post right away if you have used this company.  I need to get something set-up right away.  Thanks.

    I didn't use Grand Design Linens but I wanted to say that totally sucks that you got cancelled on.  I hope you get your money back!!  I worked with Russ @ Linen Effects at the recommendation of my florist.  He was awesome.

    You should contact many of the Twin City linen companies. I was just in a wedding a few weeks ago and the bride decided to add linens to her order. She called Festivities and they had some available the week of the wedding (I think she ordered them on the Monday or Tuesday) she was able to take them away with her and they also gave her a discount because it was the week of. Maybe something like this is an option. I know you probably want to have it set up, but maybe you could set it up the night before (grabe a bunch of family and friends) the company should show you how to do it. Otherwise if they have staff available you might be able arrange for them to set it up.

    That sucks. I'm sorry. Poor business practice.

    Oh my gosh you are kidding me. Did she give you a reason why she cancelled?! I would try Memory Makers Decor. They are extremely nice and helpful and were my second choice before I signed up with Moments Like This.

    Try Deckci. We were booked with Moments Like This, too, but are chickening out and taking the hit. We emailed Deckci and Angie's giving us 10% off our order since we are having such a vendor trust issue!

    I have linens!!!  Not what I wanted to do today, but Grand Designs came through.  Michele was a life saver and is going above and beyond to make sure that my venue looks beautiful.  If you are looking for linens, I would definitly check her out.  Her number is 612-387-4116.  I spoke with many linen company's both last night and today and there are so many wonderful vendors out there.  Another company that was a great help was Jennifer with Sitting Pretty.  Her number is 651-253-6584.  Both of these vendors helped keep me sane today.  I will let you know full reviews after the wedding, but I'm so glad to know that I am working with great people who are willing to come through in a pinch.

     We initially booked our linens with "Moments like This" who canceled on us 2 days before the wedding. Michelle and Tim from 'Grand Designs" were so kind to do whatever they could to match our colors and theme with the short time that we had. They really came through for us, they allowed us to pick up early and Michelle even drove out to our venue on the event date to deliver linens that came in at a later time. They were AMAZING!!!! The most wonderful thing was that Michelle and Tim made it happen for us! I will always remember these great people when I look back at my wedding and know that they saved the day!.  If it weren't for them coming to the rescue, our wedding would have been ruined. I felt like they really cared about us and treated us like family!

    Its highly unfortunate that a vendor cancelled on you immediately before your event.  But as a family owned business, I can only imagine that an emergency occurred. We used Michele and Tim and they were fantastic.  They took our vision to a whole new level of excellence. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great look and trying to save money!  For the EXACT same products at Linen Effects we save over half the price by going with Grand Designs.
