D & D Creations Inc at a glance

Recurring themes highlight speedy service, creative design capabilities for events like Mardi Gras, and helpful communication, though some note the pricing is high. A few low-star reviews criticize the owner for rudeness and report instances of missed appointments or perceived deprioritization of non-Mardi Gras clients.

We had such a great experience with Melinda at D & D. We are a student community in north Mississippi and threw a Mardi Gras ball for our residents in our clubhouse, and D & D made sure we had the most perfect costumes. Awesome, kind and punctual people to work with!
