Alyce is absolutely fantastic. She not only did all of our wedding correspondence, but also became our day-of coordinator and styled the entire wedding beautifully!

utely pleasure to work with and truly listened to what the bride wanted, which is huge in any vendor for any event!
Thank you, Alyce!
hello, future brides/grooms! I retained Alyce for her calligraphy and design services. I appreciated her responsiveness, but also her encouragement at showing us different styles a...
nd ideas we would've never thought of on our own. she did the calligraphy to address our envelopes, which was just stunning. for the 'day of' reception paper goods, she created lovely menus and table numbers that elevated the entire look of our small venue. Thanks again, Alyce; best of luck with everything!
Alyce's style is unparalleled and so unique. She did all the paper goods, art, and lettering (invitations + hand lettered envelopes, escort cards, signs, lettered tags for our part...
y favors, etc.) for our wedding. Her work put such a special touch to the overall aesthetics of the wedding--emotive, beautiful, and bold. We wanted a uniquely styled event (we wanted our wedding to be a reflection of "us," and not just be any other cookie-cutter wedding), and Alyce truly delivered that. She even designed some gorgeous and custom wrapping paper that I used for my bridal party, which perfectly matched the theme of the wedding.
Alyce is also a joy to work with as a person. She has a keen eye for aesthetics, and is such an understanding, warm, and caring person. She's a great listener, and she gave great advice in times of my indecisiveness. Her combination of pure talent, incredible people skills, and professionalism is unparalleled. Definitely one of the best wedding vendors ever. Thanks, Alyce!
We hired Alyce to do our Save The Date cards, Program, and calligraphy escort cards for 120 guests for our Oakland wedding in the redwoods. Her work is gorgeous, and brought such a...
n intimate and personal touch to our day. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful her work was!
She showed up to our wedding early on the day of, set up each card, and styled them with baby's breath flowers, and she delicately draped white tulle fabric over them, which created this pretty mesh layer that kept them from flying away! It also gave the cards this gorgeous ethereal feel.
Both our Save the Date and Programs had beautiful leaf and cat (we adore our little cat!) illustrations which really reflected ourselves and the forest-y feel of our wedding. Alyce is incredibly creative and open to feedback so working with her to design our programs and Save the Date was so easy and stress free.
Alyce is incredibly professional, prompt, compassionate, and attentive to detail. Her work made our special day even more special, and I would recommend her to anyone!
