A Little About Us

Since 1959, the Bartels family has helped Clinton mark its biggest moments — the engagements, the anniversaries, the pieces handed down. What started with Donald and Marvel is carried on today by their son Daniel, his wife Sheralyn, and the next generation, with the same attentive service and the same expert hands. It's the kind of trust that only comes from sixty-five years of doing the work right.
