OUR MISSION

We believe gifting is an art form. But to us, it’s not enough to simply put pretty things inside a box. We value flawless execution and sound logistics as much as we do appearance. From start to finish, our clients are completely stress-free knowing their gifting is not merely beautiful, but also safely off of their shoulders and onto ours. 

Our mission is to give you, the gift giver, the same amazing experience as the one receiving the gift.

Our Story

Welcome to Marigold & Grey! We’re a full-service artisan gifting business specializing in gift design for weddings, corporate events, client appreciation, and life’s special occasions. Owner and founder Jamie Kutchman Wynne first recognized the need for the business when creating welcome gifts for her own 2012 destination wedding. She struggled finding unique items to include in the gifts and, on top of that, the execution was a disaster. (Imagine the hectic nature of wedding weekend and gifts ending up at the wrong hotels where guests weren’t even staying...embarrassing!) Two years later, she got up the nerve to quit her successful corporate career and take a chance on creating precisely the business she wished had existed back when she needed it most.

What began as a wedding-focused business has rapidly expanded into corporate event and client appreciation gifting, which makes sense. After all, the need for expertly curated, flawlessly executed, on-brand gifting exists in all areas of life, both personal and professional. While we’ll always have a soft spot for weddings, we’re honored to deliver the award-winning Marigold & Grey experience to all occasions.

Our Client

Are you an event planner with clients looking to gift? An innovative business seeking to elevate client experience? An engaged couple dying to wow your wedding guests? Or a busy individual needing thoughtful gifts quickly? You value aesthetic and convenience equally and are thrilled to finally find a partner to entrust with your gifting from beginning to end. No more rushing from store to store, pulling things together at the last minute. No more messy assembly lines in your living rooms at home, or conference rooms at the office, immediately before an event!

Marigold & Grey clients have different occasions for gifting but they share one thing in common…they’re relaxed knowing gifting is entirely off of their shoulders and onto ours.

FOUNDER & CEO

Jamie Kutchman Wynne is a former medical/surgical sales professional turned creative entrepreneur. She founded Marigold & Grey after recognizing the need for highly curated gifting for weddings, corporate events and life's special occasions. She lives in the DC area with her golf-smitten husband and two rescue pups named Lewis & Clarkie and is a stepmom of three. When not designing gifts, she enjoys prop styling, blogging, speaking, and mentoring other small business owners. She’s thankful to run a business where she can flex both her creative mind and business savvy, not merely one or the other. Long weekends spent far away from the city make her world go round. Her wedding colors were marigold and grey.

Before starting with us, Casey was an Elementary Art and Science teacher for almost a decade. She was compelled to make a career switch because of the opportunity to be a part of a small team that allows flexibility in roles.

rose

SPECIAL PROJECTS

Rose joined us as the Production Lead for our custom projects and has since expanded her role to Special Projects. Prior to M&G, she worked as a commercial interior designer in Houston and San Diego for over 20 years which solidified her desire to always work in a highly creative atmosphere alongside detail oriented team members. Her design expertise came in handy for our major expansion and renovation that took place at the end of 2021. The 14,000 sq ft. space we moved into needed a new vision and a whole lot of TLC in a very short amount of time. Rose was instrumental, not only in offering her keen design eye, but also in space planning for the new location, making sure that we were set up to use every single square inch in the most efficient way possible! In addition to her love of design and the arts, she enjoys family movie nights with her fun-loving husband and twin daughters.

Our Studio

Many small businesses get their start in the founder's basement and we are no exception. That was 2014. Fast forward to today and it’s a 14,000 sq. ft. space that we now call home. 

Located in the DC Metro Area, the M&G studio functions as both an office space and a warehouse where we handle everything from client and vendor visits to shipping/receiving to gift assemblies and more. You won’t find cubicles or closed office doors here. Instead, our open and airy layout with plenty of space to gather makes it a breeze to collaborate as a team to deliver the exceptional gifting experience we've come to be known for. Gifting is hard work but witnessing the results of our work unfold is always well worth it.
