It was always my dream to have high quality unique and gorg invites and day of stationary and really wanted help achieving a luxury feel while staying within budget. Jen ROCKED IT....
I wanted thick lux paper and she did a great job showing the paper options and guiding us what paper textures/colors would achieve our look and match. she helped make all our dreams come true in a cohesive way. Our fave wedding meetings were showing her our inspo - tassel somewhere, wax seals, folder style invite with all event details in one nice black tie but still fun touches, water color envelope insert, bar menu and signage, some ribbons… and then waiting to see how jen pulled it all of our desired details together. She did our invites and day of stationary and I think the pics speak for themselves (altho the feel of the paper IRL is also exceptional). I will say great work takes time so if you’re wanting something creative / unique def start early so you have time for revisions and lots of fun brainstorming! Our wedding was in October and we started meeting with jen in early spring so our invites could be sent by aug 1. then worked aug - oct on day of items.
Jen was amazing to work with on my daughter's wedding. She handled all of our printing needs from the Save the Date and invitation suite to the Day of items we needed. Jen is ver...
y creative and exceedingly patient, as we did change direction a few times! I am sure she lost some sleep trying to figure out how to make our vision come to life, but in the end she exceeded our every expectation on every item!
We had the opportunity to work with Jen for our day of stationary and signage, and w o w! I knew she was good at her craft when we booked her, but she truly exceeded my expectation...
s. As we got closer to the day of our wedding and needing to have everything finalized, I wanted to not only change the design of our welcome sign and seating chart but include customized cocktail napkins, cups, and koozies too. She took all of my requests and simply ran with them! If you're looking for someone that is detail oriented, organized, and creative, Jen is your girl! Book her and I promise you, you won't be disappointed.
Jen's work is AMAZING. Our planner gave her a vision, and she truly executed. She was super responsive and helpful during final reviews even as I asked for nitpicky changes.
You c...
an tell she's super meticulous and has a great eye for design. I asked for her opinion on a couple things as I wasn't dead set on everything, and I loved having her input. She's super sweet, and you can tell she really cares about perfecting your day and your aesthetic with her work. We wanted a romantic and rustic vibe for our barn wedding, and she knocked it out of the park.
With the craziness of the day, I didn't see our seating chart until 3 hours into the reception, and I truly gasped when I saw it! It was stunning.
I'm so glad our planner led us to her - she's incredible!! Thank you Jen!!!
My wife and I had a destination wedding in Austin, TX and didn’t know any vendors in that area. We were recommended to use Jen by our wedding planner Hailey at Betts and Co. safe t...
o say Jen did not disappoint. Overall great quality for a great value. Jen’s prices were the best on the market without sacrificing value! Jen also helped us to make decisions by providing several sample sets based on colors/styles we wanted for menus and name cards.
We worked with Jen on day of stationary along with our seating chart and could not be happier with our choice. Her work is beautiful and high quality. She was great to work with - ...

Our original vendor ghosted us and Jen saved us! We needed a seating chart for our wedding day and every other creative paper vendor I reached out to recommended her. I explained w...
hat happened and she let us know that we would be planning closer to the date, I believe 10 days out. While she was on vacation, I sent her a request for a welcome sign too. I wish we would’ve used her from the very beginning for signage and design because she killed both of these designs! We don’t have pictures yet, but I will absolutely be showing them off once we do.
Jen is SO talented!! Our venue recommended her for our wedding and I can absolutely see why. We didn't need a whole lot of signage for our wedding since it was on the smaller side,...
but we did need a welcome sign, seating chart, and place cards for our head table. She was very professional and fast in her communication and sent previews of the signs for me to adjust as needed. Everything exceeded my expectations and it was perfect for our special day.

e design process was super fun, even for me being a tad design-challenged and indecisive. She goes above and beyond to make sure things are delivered to you timely, even going the extra mile when the mail got backed up during covid and adding in some personal touches and mementos . Was worth every penny and honestly she should raise her prices!!!
Jen was a dream to work with! She was kind, professional, responsive, and her calligraphy was beautiful. We loved that she had gorgeous signage boards for us to rent which made thi...

throughout and she was beyond flexible. Jen handled all of our day of needs: welcome sign, seating chart, table numbers, head table place cards, masks (yep she does personalized masks - we are living in covid times!), and stickers for our hand sanitizer bottles.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work for our wedding day!!

ch of our 75 guests and Jen took the time to write each person's name on their note. She is incredibly organized, kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She has so many ideas and is very creative. She has such a relaxed, comforting energy and is exactly the type of person/vendor you want to be working with to keep you calm and grounded around your wedding plans. She has an amazing inventory of rentals and is always willing to go the extra mile to make everything perfect. I am obsessed with Jen and her work!! Do not hesitate to book her for your wedding/event, or just to get some cool decor for your home.
Jen is an absolute JOY to work with. She is hilarious, relatable, and feels more like a friend than a vendor! Her work on our invitations was timely and beautiful, and we knew we w...
anted her to do our wedding day signage. She’s been so flexible with our timeline and even when we had to postpone our wedding due to the coronavirus, she showed up with a lovely sign that she had made the night before for our impromptu, 10 person ceremony. She also gifted me a lettered leather jacket after an Instagram contest that I wore and got so many compliments on. We can’t wait to continue working with Jen for our make-up celebration in July!

and I was blown away by her creativity and eye for detail. Jen always made sure I was pleased with her work asking for my input along the way.

I wish Jen did ALL the calligraphy for my wedding. She is so very talented, easy to work with, great with communication, and totally worth every penny! Her work speaks volumes.
I now use Jen for all my events... Bachelorette Parties, Wedding Showers, Baby Showers, etc. She made a custom beach hat for my sisters and it was ADORABLE! She is always down to try new things and has great ideas!
I love her work and highly appreciate everything Jen does for us!
Jen is incredible. We have worked with her on a few different occasions-during our wedding and later for our baby shower. Two very memorable days for us and I wouldn’t have trusted...
anyone else. She designed our invitations for both events so they were 100% unique and she addressed all of our wedding invitations by hand. They were stunning. I loved them, the guests loved them, they were perfect. She also created a few signage pieces for our wedding that were so special, we still have them hanging in our house. She is quick to reply to questions, extremely creative and pours her heart into her beautiful work. Can’t wait to work with her again!!

She is professional, kind and just such a joy to work with.
