About & Contact

Made by Hand. Made with Heart.
Hi, I'm Tracy — a mom of three, a woodworker, and a one-woman shop based in North Branch, Minnesota. Welcome to Primitive Weddings.
From the Hotel Ballroom to the Woodshop
I spent 20 years in the hotel and events industry, helping couples and families create unforgettable celebrations. I know firsthand how much the details matter — the little touches that make a wedding feel truly yours. When I transitioned from event planning to woodworking, I brought that same passion for meaningful, personal details into my workshop.
Today, I handcraft personalized wooden keepsake boxes, card boxes, and rustic wedding decor — each one made to order, just for you.
How Each Box Is Made
Every piece starts as rough-cut cedar in my Minnesota woodshop. I cut, sand, stain, and finish each box by hand before adding your custom laser engraving. No two pieces are exactly alike — and that's exactly the point.
Here's what you can expect when you order:
- Custom stain colors — choose the finish that matches your vision
- Laser engraving — names, dates, monograms, or your own design
- Optional proofs before production — so you can approve the design before I start cutting
- Made to order — your piece is built from scratch, just for you
A One-Woman Shop You Can Trust
When you order from Primitive Weddings, you're working directly with me. I read every message, make every box, and pack every order myself. I take enormous pride in the quality and care that goes into each piece — because I know it's going to be part of one of the most important days of your life.
"Beautiful and well crafted — exactly what I was hoping for."
"Gorgeous! Quick delivery and a great product. Highly recommend."
"The personalization was perfect. It arrived faster than expected and looked even better in person."
The 2026 Wedding Trend That Feels Timeless
Couples today are choosing handcrafted, personalized details that feel authentic and heartfelt — pieces that become heirlooms, not just decorations. That's been my mission from day one.
Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding, a cozy backyard celebration, or an elegant outdoor ceremony, I'd love to help you create something truly special.
