Phyllis is creative, imaginative and a delight to work with. What I love most is her work is not run of the mill you stuff you can get anywhere. She made this process not only easy but fun to do. My husband and I are thrilled with her work.

We loved working with Phyllis! We got married this spring and wanted to get some stationary for our thank you cards. We made an appointment to meet in person and had a great time going through all the designs, paper, envelope, lining and font options. We emailed over the next several days once she got price quotes for our different variations, and once we settled on a proof everything came really quickly and looks great in person. Reasonably priced for what you get, and actually quite fun.

Working with Phyllis on our wedding invitations was a breeze. We came to her with some custom artwork that we wanted to use, and no understanding of how invitations / printing worked. She guided us through the process, offered helpful suggestions to help us achieve the look we had in mind while being mindful of budget. She knows her stuff, she's patient, and she's a clear communicator. She provided us with helpful templates for "standard" language for invites, and when we wanted to go a completely different direction, she helped us do so in a way that was visually pleasing and ensured we were still highlighting the important info. In the end, we LOVED the way our invites turned out. Highly recommend working with Phyllis!!

Phyllis was a delight to work with! She has incredible experience and vision, and worked with us to curate the perfect save the date and wedding invitation suite. She created absolutely beautiful paper materials for day-of, too! Phyllis worked tirelessly to ensure perfection - she is an etiquette expert, and ensured that all of our layouts/formatting were exactly correct. We felt so taken care of throughout the entire process, from start to finish, and are incredibly grateful to have worked with her! Phyllis is truly the best of the best :)

Phyllis is first rate. A perfect example of "you get what you pay for". She is full of experience and creative ideas to match any person's desires and wishes. Abundant samples are at her fingertips as she discusses what is best for you. Once the order is placed she is compulsive in her follow up until the invites are stuffed, addressed stamped and mailed. Highly recommend without reservation.

I could not recommend Phyllis more for your invitation and stationary needs. She provided her services to create the most gorgeous custom invitation suite for our wedding, and provided her expertise every step of the way. Then we leveraged the suite design to create custom menus, escort cards, table numbers, and ceremony programs. Our guests have been raving about the beauty of the designs. It added the most magical element to our wedding that we will never forget - everything was a work of art. Phyllis is the best in the business. Thank you Phyllis for an unforgettable experience working with you!
