Ivan Carlson & Assocs

We procured Ivan Carlson to do the lighting for our October 17, 2008 wedding at A New Leaf after seeing another wedding that they lit and created a lounge for.
Their prices were very, very affordable compared to another place I had contacted. And the final result looked great! There was much more lighting than I expected. I had thought that the contract listed lighting for the ceremony and dance floor, but they lit the ENTIRE space, which is what I wanted, but assumed I couldn’t afford. It looked breathtaking. My stomach flipped when the bus rounded the corner and we caught a glimpse of the room glowing from the outside. I recommend that all New Leaf brides get lighting if they can swing it. Like the «candle treatment,» it’s a worthy investment.
We also ordered arm chairs and end tables from Ivan Carlson. Our sales rep, Haley Achermann, was very patient with my ever-​changing furniture orders as I figured out the best layout for our event. She also allowed me to make changes to my contract without penalty, which is wonderful to me. And we conducted all of our business via e-​mail, which is cool when you’re planning your wedding between meetings and deadlines.
