curlycue creations co-founders, Mindy Karp and Kelly Friedrich, are Chicago natives and have been involved in orchestrating many events over the years -- from personal celebrations to class reunions to charitable fundraisers. With their fresh and approachable style, it's no wonder everyone has been raving about this mother-daughter team!

Mindy's background as a contract paralegal and her degree in economics coupled with her keen attention to detail, impeccable organizational skills and innate ability to turn the "ordinary" into the "extraordinary" made co-founding curlycue creations with Kelly a natural choice. She is energized, not only by the final production, but by the way the fanciful twists and details along the way bring overwhelming delight to those she works with.

Kelly is an attentive listener and has degrees in psychology, sociology and education which make her uniquely qualified to juggle all the challenges that are presented when producing a dream come true. Like Mindy, she is known amongst her peers for her detail and organization, but also brings an energy, exuberance and contemporary knowledge of the latest trends, styles and designs to the partnership. Her own wedding dreams and visions were turned into a reality last year when she married her high school sweetheart.
