Dan is so willing to work with you to make your shadow box exactly what you want it to be. Went above and beyond to meet with us on the way home from our son's wedding so we could get the bouquet preserved for the happy couple. Thank you, Dan for the magnificent work that you do.

I wanted to preserve my daughter's wedding bouquet and present it to her as a very special Christmas gift. After much searching, I found Queen & i and went to visit Dan. I was thrilled when I saw the quality of his work. He did a spectacular job for me. The bouquet was beautifully framed with my daughter's wedding invitation and a photo of the bride and groom. She was speechless when she opened her one-of-a- kind unique gift and loves it! It is now on display in her living room for all to see. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone who is looking to have this kind of work done. You won't be disappointed!
