Member of the Month: Cathy Gabriel of Concepts II Completion

I met Cathy "years ago" at a bridal roundtable networking event in Brooklyn, New York.  Since meeting Cathy, her business has grown tremendously which is also complimented by her ability to bring her clients' vision for their wedding stationery to fruition.  I would not hesitate to work with Cathy as one of my vendors for any event that I am planning.  She is a consummate professional; knows her craft; highest level of integrity; excellent communicator and listener and gets the job done.

Cathy Gabriel is the owner and creative designer for Concepts II Completion which is an online (will meet with clients) stationery boutique specializing in unique wedding invitations, wedding programs and program fans.

Cathy has been supplying the events industry with stationery since 2001. Concepts II Completion not only services clients in the United States but it also services clients in Barbados.
