Whitney Shop

We would have been lost in our wedding planning process without the Whitney Shop! Karen and Carol helped us design our save the dates, rehearsal dinner invites, wedding invite suites, menus, custom napkins, and day of programs. All were within the look we wanted, and we were even able to add cute motifs like a moose to our menu for our mountain themed big day. Karen also worked brilliantly with our calligrapher, who was also able to custom design a logo for the wedding, and send to Karen in a digital file. Karen took the file and was able to get a custom water color map from our artist beautifully printed onto part of our invite suite, and our logo on some napkins for the cocktail party portion of the night. In addition, Karen and Christina and Peggy were able to help us with our dream registry. From the lifelong fine china we now have, to our Simon Pearce items, everything is gorgeous. In addition, we found that the shop offered some more reasonably priced items for our friends our age who may not be at the point of affording a china gift, but wanted to get us something special like a beautiful water pitcher, or a serving tray decorated with skis! We appreciated the online aspect of the registry, since we live in UT and were monitoring from afar, but we also loved being able to pop in the shop when back east and being treated so well by a second generation, family business in the town of New Canaan. We are customers for life and are enjoying following the shop on their new instagram account :)

Such a nice store! Impressive and elegant inventory, classy personnel...Love it!

Rude original older owner (long time ago). Very bad experience. Unbelievably unprofessional. I'd never shop here, nor return.
