Envision Wedding Studio

WE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENDOR! Leah Moller, the owner of the this business is a…read moreterrible businesswoman. She is highly unprofessional and does not deliver products and services in the condition or on the terms agreed upon. She tried to charge us $1700 to set up a few rentals such as chandeliers, candelabras and a steel arch. The real talent behind her fraud of a business is Leigh Willers at Bella Rosa, who is another wedding vendor in Sioux Falls, SD. Envisions has Bella Rosa do all the decorations and act as a middleman to coordinate the decorations. By coordinate, it means just renting a few rentals and setting them up the day before the wedding day so that Bella Rosa can do the actual work and set up the flower arrangements. Leah Moller at Envisions Wedding Studio doesn't really provide a quantifiable and real service for her to charge such a high price. We decided drop the middleman and just go with Bella Rosa for decorations and just get the rentals from Envisions for us to do the setting up ourselves for free. She got upset that we didn't go along with her plan to rob us blind and have her set up the rentals charging us $1700, so she did an unprofessional job packing up the rental vases and candle holders, gave us a couple of broken candle holders and tried to charge us for them, and sent us an ugly uncut rope instead of ready-made napkin rings the dy before our wedding for us to set up. As shown on the invoice, we had paid for napkin rings not an ugly rope that you can buy from Wal Mart. When confronted, Leah Moller wrote a rude e-mail letting us know that she would have made rings out of the rope only if we had paid for her to set up. We would like to remind Leah at Envisions that as shown on the invoice, we paid for napkin rings. We we not happy with the overall quality of the rentals and service provided by Envisions Wedding Studio. You can actually work with Bella Rosa for your decorations and get the rentals from Ideal Wedding instead of Leah Moller at Envisions Wedding Studio.

Designing Dreams by Ajay Ajay Kittur Ajay, Chad and I wanted to thank you for all the work you did for us on our new home. We could not have been more pleased and comforted by all your work and help throughout the building process. I appreciate you listening to our vision on what we wanted with the home and helping us achieve our perfect "Tuscan" paradise. Your ideas of having custom welded railings for our stairway was the perfect way to start off the house. The two-sided fireplace with old world stone was also a great addition to our home. The ideas kept flowing from there and our end result is a perfectly staged Feature Home for the Parade of Homes. It was invaluable to have you do a lot of the legwork for us while we concentrated on other things. Everything from getting fabric samples together and meeting us on weekends to finalize details was exactly what we needed in this busy time! Having your input on everything from furniture selection to paint colors was invaluable to help us achieve piece of mind and feel comfortable about the decisions we were making. The end result was a "perfect" house that we can enjoy for many years to come. Thank you so very much and please feel free to use our name for a reference. We would be honored to recommend you to any other potential clients. Sincerely, Chad and Tracy Dahle read more

I have had the privilege of working with Ajay on two projects in my house. The first project was a remodel of my kitchen and the second project was a finish project for my basement bathroom/laundry room. He is absolutely wonderful and extremely talented!! Ajay took the time to get to know me and my design preferences and proceeded to design the kitchen and bathroom/laundry room according to my preferences. His ideas are innovative and beautiful. His vision of the end product is outstanding. He always manages to add a "WOW" factor in each design. Throughout the remodel or finish process, Ajay was always very kind, friendly, patient, tolerant of my ignorance and trustworthy. If we set up a meeting, he was always there on time, fully prepared to discuss my project. When we started the projects, he saw them through to the very end. He didn't wander off to other projects. I plan to remodel my entire house. The only interior designer I trust to help me is Ajay. I know he will be with me every step along the way. He is the only designer I will use. Diane C.

Our home was built in 1991 and the windows were completely rotten less than ten years later (Jeld-Wen - think they went bankrupt but may be out ther again).

We chose WeatherShield mainly since it was so rare to be able to pick the wood type of the windows - no pine, the wood is just too soft. We replaced all of our windows with K&W and we love having windows the are a complete match to all or our trim. A few years later we added an addition. This time we didn't have to do research, we knew exactly where to go and the windows to use. I'm going to tell you that they are busy but when you are with Tim Lund or Doug Metz from K&W, you are all they are thinking about. My advice to anyone is don't make a decision until you have seen what K&W can offer. I think you will be much more impressed that the "one-company" window offerings. Go see all that they offer, then make the decision this is right for you. They will show you everything and even show you the competitor's products. We also purchased solid core panel doors and new hardware but the experience was the same. I hope this helps you.
