Milestones & Everyday Occasions

We want to know how your customers celebrate them and what they need to make them memorable, and then we’ll help you help them by brainstorming, researching, developing and supporting trend-setting products and services that will keep them coming back for more.

Our Experience – Your Success

The Occasions Group grew out of the deep strength and broad experience of Taylor Corporation, our parent company. We’ve evolved and grown from the initial acquisition in 1975 of Carlson Wedding Service (now Carlson Craft) in Mankato, MN.

Our roots began in the wholesale market through Carlson Craft, and since then we have developed capabilities to go to market through multiple channels. And since then we have strategically acquired or built additional facilities in North America, including locations in Sunman, Indiana, Rexburg, Idaho, Waco, Texas and Stratford, Ontario. With our unique assets and talents, we’re able to help you create custom programs so each of your customers feels special.

We’ll be the force behind you that prompts you to act with innovation and agility, to take risks and take advantage of growth opportunities, to accept the challenge to continually delight and engage your customers. And our knowledgeable leadership team will continue to work behind the scenes to provide you with the stability and the resources you need to accomplish that.

Our History – Your Possibilities

We’ve been developing and selling high-quality products and services since 1975. Each year since then, our world-class team has continuously grown and our industry-leading capabilities have constantly improved. Starting from a single mimeograph press and developing into our current international production footprint, we do whatever is necessary to provide the best products and services to your customers.
