Family Traditions Event Decorator is a wedding decorating company operating out of Goodhue, Minnesota. These professional decorators will adorn your wedding venue with gorgeous decor that perfectly complements the theme of your special day. Couples are welcome to view the bast inventory to rent, pickup or have Family Traditions deliver, setup and take down for a service fee $450.

Services Offered

A lot of people believe that hiring a wedding decorator is expensive. It really isn't when you take into consideration the quality of the inventory, the time saved in preparation prior to the wedding, the set up & take down, and then what to do with the stuff after your event.

There is a big difference between the less quality tablecloths and the professional-grade cloths. Most people do not want to spend the money that it takes to purchase these, which is another reason to hire a decorator. These cloths are thick and not see through, and are wrinkleless. The overall aesthetic of your reception starts with the tablecloths.

A good rule of thumb in hiring Family Traditions Event Decorator as far as pricing goes as follows. Please note that I do charge a delivery/set-up & take-down fee of $450 in addition to the charge. This fee covers mileage/gas/My Team.

Total of Guests & wedding party:
120-$1,750 & up depending on add-on's
200-$2,750
300-$3,750

What's included:
Welcome sign arrangement (sign/easel/vases or lanterns/LED candles)
Guestbook/Memorial/Gift tables (signs/vases & LED candles/runners/picture frames/card box)
Cake stands/dessert serving set (stand/serving set)
Bridal table for 10 people (P-G scuba tablecloth/charger plates/linen napkins/runner/votive cups w/LED candles/centerpiece under 19")
Guest tables (P-G scuba tablecloth/charger plates/linen napkin/runner/votive candle holder & LED candle/centerpiece under 19")
I have a lot of flower arrangements and eucalyptus garland that couples are welcome to use for free if hired to do your event.

Additional inventory: backdrops including arches, walls, and pipe & drape. Furniture: high-top tables, set of 5 metal cylinder pillar stands, acrylic pedestals, white columns, couches, beige shag rug, 6' sweetheart table, 2 tall whiskey barrels, two tall black flower pots for flower arrangements, 9' Christmas tree, 4' tall LOVE LED sign, 2' galvanized tin LOVE LED sign and more. Lighting: String light curtains and backdrop up-lighting. Just ask if there is something special that you want but do not see here.

Not all wedding decorators are the same nor do they charge the same. Check out the competition, and then come talk to me.

Perfect, memorable, and special

Our wedding was perfect because of Marie with Family Traditions. Marie was so easy to work with and she always took us step by step within her planning process. Marie took the stress off of my husband and I and we truly loved having Marie decorate our special day for us.

Wedding Reception

Marie was creative and giving with her thoughts and ideas. Taking what we wanted and making it real. She communicated frequently and thoroughly with us. I loved the face of my son's MIL when she walked into the reception hall. The WOW factor happened!

Baby Shower

They transform a very rustic VFW into a beautiful venue for a baby shower. I was blown away by the attention to detail and decorations. Very much exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend for any mothers to bee as you don’t have to do anything and can enjoy the experience of celebrating your little one!
