Excellent quality, amazing experience, all around BEST EVER!

From the moment I walked in the door, the experience at RC Caylan was second to none. I was able to craft a dress from an idea to reality and RC chose the best fabrics and simply caught the vision and executed it to perfection. I had never made a dress before and I have never been so pleased with a dress so perfectly tailored for me and my style. I got a ton of compliments! Highly recommend!

Best fashion design and service people to work with!

RC and team listened to all the details and got it done on time. They worked with our budget and even had accessories there for us. So many people complimented all the little details of our outfits. They had a lot of good feedback on what selections we should consider. They have so any options to choose from. There is some for everyone. They're a New York and Beverly Hills talent right in my city.

RC Caylan Atelier, LLC Designer Extraordinaire

We shopped in several large cities for my daughter's wedding dress and were not able to find anything that came close to her vision of what she wanted to look and feel like on her special day. In fact, the more we looked, the more everything in the bridal boutiques all started to look the same!

Then we found RC. We could not believe we were so fortunate to have this incredible, internationally acclaimed designer right here in Grand Rapids!

RC is not only an extremely talented designer, he is an amazing, caring person. Through several design meetings, he listened intently to Emily's ideas and enthusiastically responded with sketches and designs that perfectly captured what she was expressing. Her wedding dress is beyond magnificent.

While working on her wedding dress, he designed a fabulous feather trimmed jumpsuit for her reception. Beyond our wildest dreams again!

At the same time, he designed a spectacular combination outfit for me that magically transforms from an elegant wedding ceremony gown to a fun, unique pantsuit for the reception. I love it!

Not to be outdone, the groom and father of the bride wanted to look and feel as fabulous as the bride and mother of the bride. RC came through again with incredibly tailored, beautiful suits for them!

Everything RC does is done with extreme attention to detail and with the utmost sense of style and quality. It is absolutely amazing how he incorporated fabric from our bride's dress into our groom's suit for that extra, unexpected touch of style and elegance. And how he mixed fabrics from the mother and father of the bride's ensemble together for a fabulous, very chic touch. We looked so great on the dance floor!

From our first conversation, to consulting on the bridal party photography session, to the wedding ceremony, all the way through to the reception, RC was with us, every step of the way, ensuring that every detail on every garment at every moment was perfection. We could not have been more thrilled!

RC's passion for envisioning and creating extraordinary, breath taking designs made Emily and Nate's special day come to life as the fabulous fantasy, dream wedding they had envisioned. We highly recommend you meet with RC to allow him to share with you how he can make your next event pure magic.
