WIDNEYHOUSE.COM has evolved out of a twenty-five year old retail business.
After moving to San Diego, California in 1980, Richard Widney formed WIDNEY HOUSE, a multi-dimensional design firm. The main business focus has been within the floral design and service area. However, Mr. Widney’s wide range of creative expertise, such as set and lighting design, decorative décor, food creation and even music, has been part of the over-all Widney House palate.
The WIDNEY HOUSE stamp of creativity has been found upon many social and corporate functions, ranging from an intimate wedding to the traditional convention party.
Mr. Widney has worked with the following hotels and corporations:- Sheraton Harbor Island
- The Westgate
- Hotel Del, Coronado
- The San Diego Hilton
- Towne and Country Hotel
- La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club
- Allied-Signal, Inc.
