Kelly is the best of the best. She produces the highest quality of work while also making the process fun and exciting. I would highly recommend using her.
When it comes to invitation suites and day-of signage for your wedding, the only mistake would be not utilizing Kelly. Our experience with Kelly for our wedding (June 2024) from the beginning was pleasant, professional, and easy. Kelly took the time to get to know us and our interests. She came up with several ideas, but always listened to us first before making recommendations. She prioritized our needs - which often changed - over her own. She even sought out opportunities to keep our costs low, when possible, without us asking her to do so. That is how amazing and professional Kelly is with her clients. And the final products that we received were so beautiful that people still cannot stop gushing over them. Everything was stress-free with Kelly! We were so happy to get to work with Kelly; she made our dreams a reality.
Kelly is THE BEST! We saw her work on our planner's Instagram and knew we didn't need to look for other stationery vendors. Her attention to detail and creativity truly exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. We also received so many compliments from guests who were raving about the stationery and other art that Kelly designed with us (including our amazing custom dance floor). If you want someone who will work hard and understand your vision, design your invitation suites with Kelly!
Kelly was a dream to work with for our wedding invitations! She expertly balanced all of our ideas and opinions, creating a beautiful invitation suite that we all loved. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the process seamless and enjoyable.
We didn't know where to start with our invitations. We were fortunate that our wedding planner pointed us in the direction of Kelly Joyce Design. Kelly was incredible, and we absolutely hired the right person. She was always responsive, had very creative ideas, and walked us through each phase of the invitation suite journey from start to finish. She came up with the suite of our dreams and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. She made this process seamless, and we couldn't recommend her enough!
5 stars is not enough!! Kelly was absolutely amazing to work with. I had actually purchased my wedding suite before finding Kelly but was beyond unhappy with everything beyond the actual invite. Kelly was able to take the invite and make the most gorgeous matching suite for me. She understood my vision perfectly and made it come to life. Everything was of the highest quality and I recommend her for any and all stationary needs. I will no doubt use Kelly again in the future!
Kelly was AMAZING. She immediately got my vision for my wedding suite in just one meeting. She is so wonderful to work with and is very responsive. I barely had to provide any edits to her proofs she was so good! We used her for our entire suite including "day-of" paper (menus, programs, etc.). I have and will recommend her to everyone I know. We received many compliments on our Save the Dates and Invitations. Thank you SO much, Kelly!
Kelly was truly exceptional to collaborate with, making the entire wedding process an absolute delight. Working with her was undoubtedly the highlight of our journey to the big day. Kelly not only brought our wedding vision to life but also added a unique touch that made every detail extraordinary. From the elegant wedding invitations to the flawless execution of all the "day of" elements, her creations were not only stunning but also seamlessly integrated with the venue.
Beyond her remarkable creativity and talent, Kelly's down-to-earth and genuine personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Her willingness to explore new ideas and venture outside our comfort zones resulted in designs that were nothing short of perfect. We are incredibly grateful to Kelly for her outstanding work and dedication. Thank you, Kelly, for making our wedding dreams a beautiful reality!
Kelly is extremely professional and has impeccable taste! I would highly recommend working with Kelly! Her unique designs, quality of her product and experience is top notch. Her responsiveness and attention to detail is beyond compare. I would trust her in a heartbeat and hope to work with her in the near future.
Kelly was absolutely amazing! I love her designs, creativity, and thoughtfulness. Kelly is responsive, attentive, and timely. I highly recommended hiring her.
Working with Kelly is a dream! Kelly treats everyone and their invitation needs with care, consideration and creativity. She is patient and kind and truly makes you feel special. To begin, Kelly shares a wide selection of colors, color combinations, textures, fonts and design details. She guides her clients throughout the design process and works tirelessly on every detail. Her creativity and attention to detail is exceptional. Kelly treats each project as a unique opportunity for the clients to express themselves. We worked with Kelly on a wedding invitation. Truly unique to the couple, Kelly incorporated a special design into the invitation liner! That image was later enlarged and now hangs prominently in their home.
I can't wait for another opportunity to work with Kelly!
Kelly created the most beautiful invitations I’ve ever seen for my daughter’s wedding. I received so many compliments and have a stack of notes, emails and texts from guests raving that they were the absolute best invitation they had ever seen.
Kelly was professional, flexible and always immediately responsive. I wouldn’t use any other company for any event I hosted. This company is truly outstanding!
My husband and I got our wedding stationary done by Kelly Joyce Design. The cards, envelopes, and rsvp cards were insanely beautiful. She did a watercolor monogram of our names and even a watercolor painting of the venue. The design itself was so beautiful that it was all over my venue- backdrops, bar, napkins, cups, it might of even been on the dance floor! Luckily my family and I had collected enough napkins and cups from the night that we will have her amazing work with us for life. Everyone was amazed and in obsessed with the stationary. I think about a week after I sent them out I got about 100 texts saying “this is the most beautiful invite I’ve every received” if you want your wedding invites to be front and center on all of your friends fridges - go with Kelly Joyce Designs!!!!
We were so lucky to have the opportunity to work with Kelly - she takes the extra time and up front work to understand the background and vision of your event to ensure the end product is personal to the couple. She did an amazing job with our wedding invitations and we could not be happier with how they turned out - we are still getting compliments! We couldn't imagine trusting anyone with such a big piece of our wedding day and we are forever grateful!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kelly for our wedding invitations and wedding dinner menus. From our initial meeting, Kelly gave us so many beautiful options and we knew we were in the right hands! She is so detailed and really takes the time to make sure that everything we wanted was available. Our invitations were STUNNING - people raved about them and they made everyone just that much more excited to attend the wedding. Kelly also made our dinner menus that gave an elegant touch. Do not hesitate to work with Kelly - she will eliminate all stress in terms of signage and will be so supportive of you for your big day!
Kelly was so great to work with through the whole process! We really appreciated her creativity and professional expertise in helping bring our vision together and her patience when we made adjustments. She helped us understand all our options and pick the best one both for our style and budget. We were so impressed with the invitations she made that we ended up having her design the menus and escort cards as well and they all tied so well together! Would highly recommend for her to anyone looking for beautiful, personalized invitation suites!!
Hiring Kelly was one of the easiest decisions we made in the wedding planning process. Working with her was incredibly seamless and honestly so much fun. She put so much care and attention into helping us create the most special invitation suite, escort cards and menus that we can now cherish forever. After our in-person consultation, she was always willing to jump on the phone with us to brainstorm and offer her ideas and recommendations for each piece. Every last detail was well thought out even down to the stamps we used. She kept us organized and on time with deadlines. She worked with us on pricing to ensure it fit our budget expectations and provided us multiple options to choose from. We were absolutely blown away with her and the end result. If you're thinking about hiring her just go ahead and do it!!
Kelly was fantastic to work with. She was extremely responsive, patient with all of our questions and attentive to detail. All of her designs from the save the date to the invitation to the day of items were incredible and we received so many compliments. We loved working with her for the wedding and look forward to working with her on future occasions. Highly recommend!!
Could not recommend Kelly more! We were referred to her by a close family friend who also had a wonderful experience and she exceeded our expectations.
Kelly helped us create several different paper goods that were used throughout the wedding weekend (invitations, place cards, menus). She brought our vision to life and was very helpful in showing us different price points across what we were hoping to create. She was organized, proactive, and kept us on schedule to ensure everything was ordered on time to avoid any unnecessary rush fees. Above all, she’s incredibly kind and so talented — an absolute pleasure to work with. You will be in the best hands!
I swooned over Kelly Joyce Design's Instagram page for years leading up to my wedding. She was one of the first vendors I reached out to when I got engaged because I admired her work so much! I was hesitant at first because I thought she might be out of our budget, but Kelly customized the process to fit into our budget perfectly! Kelly was a dream to work with and made the whole process feel so personal. She was patient with me when I couldn't make up my mind and always exceeded my expectations. When she sent the proofs of our invitations (and other paper goods), my jaw hit the floor! We received so many compliments on our invitation suite and it really set the tone for our entire wedding! I will cherish our invitations for years and years to come.
Working with Kelly was such a dream! She really look the time to understand the vision for our wedding and perfectly communicated it through the design of our invitation suite. I can't tell you how many people said they were the most beautiful invites they'd ever seen. They really tied the event together from start to finish.
I highly recommend using Kelly Joyce Designs for all of your stationery and day-of pieces! Kelly created the most gorgeous invitations and truly made my vision come to life! The details of our wedding was the most exciting part to plan, and that all because of Kelly! From the invitations, table numbers, seating chart, ceremony program and more.. Kelly can do it all!
We enjoyed working with Kelly immensely and can not recommend her enough! Kelly's designs set the tone for our entire wedding weekend and created excitement among our guests from the moment they opened their first envelope. Every detail of our suite was unique to us and our event. From creating a custom logo to sourcing paper from our local paper mill, she took care with our suite every step of the way. Kelly put us at ease immediately during our first meeting, she has a great energy, is joyful and passionate about the entire design process and has clear pride in her productions. Her schedule allowed space for delays but we never felt rushed as everything was on time and last minute changes were updated immediately. We got so much more than we bargained for when hiring Kelly Joyce Design and will absolutely use them again for future events.
Kelly is professional, knowledgeable and extremely organized. She was creative and prompt with our invitations! Kelly was wonderful to work with and would highly recommend her for your next big event.
Kelly did an amazing job on our wedding invites! She was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the whole process and even after our wedding, we are still obsessed with our invitation suite.
Kelly went above and beyond from the very beginning to make sure that our needs and wants for our invitations were met. She held our hand through the entire process, starting with our save-the-dates all the way to our day-of essentials. We will continue to use Kelly for every invitation, announcement needs including Christmas cards, shower invitations, etc. You will not be disappointed in Kelly's dedications to make sure your day is absolutely perfect!
Kelly is an absolute joy to work with. She is excellent at what she does, fun to work with, and very professional. From start to finish, the process was seamless. From our initial meeting to discuss vision to the final product, Kelly was extremely responsive, exceptionally creative and was able to take a few key words we provided about what we wanted and turn them into the ultimate wedding invite suite. She also crafted the perfect menus and place cards that tied everything together. She was able to create exactly what we were looking for and we could not be more obsessed with everything she created. 10/10 recommend Kelly!
A couple of our family members cried when the saw the invite, that's how gorgeous it was. She's professional, prompt and SO creative. We didn't know exactly what we wanted so she put together many options to look out and we fell in love.
HIGHLY recommend!
Kelly's work is amazing!!! One of my clients hired her to do the full invitation suite, table numbers, place cards, signage, etc, and the products are truly perfect. She is so creative and such a nice person. Hire Kelly!!
I've known Kelly personally for years and knew I wanted to have her design my wedding suite before I was even engaged :)
She helped us figure out all the elements we wanted from save the dates to menus and provided great ideas that fit both our personalities and the aesthetic we were going for on our wedding day.
We had a couple hiccups (out of Kelly's control) along the way with envelope printing and paper being out of stock, but she always kept us in the loop and had solutions ready to make sure our designs came out just as we wanted.
There are many templates available online for save the dates, wedding invitations, and such, but having a custom suite is the detail that really pulled everything together, and I can't recommend Kelly more highly for the skill she has and the care she puts into every job for every couple!
I had a fabulous experience working with Kelly on our wedding invitations and was so pleased with the results. Kelly designed an elegant, simple invitation suite for us- she found the perfect paper to complement my wedding scheme. She successfully risk mitigated some of the Covid complications/unknowns. I really appreciated Kelly’s patience and support throughout the whole process.
We HIGHLY recommend working with Kelly! She is simply amazing to work with. She made the process easy and stress free and was very responsive to all of our questions and edits. She attended to details with the utmost precision and truly brought our vision to life! Our wedding invitations, seating chart, programs, etc. are simply stunning and look better than we could have ever imagined!
We started working with Kelly when she was living in Chicago during the early days of COVID. Based on our initial phone call and a Pinterest board filled with colors and wedding related images, she put together three full suites of invitations--all of which were gorgeous and exactly our style. She talked us through everything by phone and email, mailed us samples, and helped us make our final selections. Because we postponed our wedding twice due to COVID, she was understanding and gracious, and she adjusted her timeline to fit each new date. Kelly was a lifesaver in putting together and mailing out all of our invitations. We found her to be professional, responsive, personable, and easy to work with. Especially because we worked together from a distance (we're in DC), we couldn't imagine having a better experience with anyone else--she captured exactly what we envisioned, and we received so many compliments from family and friends. If you're on the fence about hiring Kelly, you won't regret it!
Working with Kelly to design two save-the-dates, a full invitation suite, and day of pieces for our wedding was one of the easiest and most collaborative parts of wedding planning. Kelly is creative, responsive, and resourceful. 2020 and 2021 threw a lot of curveballs, and Kelly managed all of them with professionalism and grace. She truly was our favorite vendor partner! We've received so many compliments on our wedding papers and will continue referring her to friends and family. We can't wait to work with her again someday!
Working with Kelly on our invitation suite and day-of materials (programs, place cards) was a dream. She was so incredibly responsive when we first reached out, taking time to get to know who we were and the vibe of our wedding. We brainstormed some ideas based on what I'd seen done in her portfolio and other places not by her, and she was great about sending a few different directions for us to go. I loved how flexible she was towards our needs, and really personalized everything she delivered to us. The whole process was easy, efficient, and she is SO organized! When I reached out later on about day-of pieces, she was quick to bring my whole invitation design to life with what I needed. Loved working with her, and will seriously miss it!
Kelly is absolutely amazing! She brings your vision to life and will even make the best recommendations. Look no further for someone to put together your wedding invites or even just invites for a special occasion! I recommend her to anyone!
Kelly is AMAZING! From the very first call we knew that she had to design our wedding invitation. She is extremely professional and knows her stuff! She made the process so seamless and truly made our vision come to life. She was extremely responsive and was happy to make any changes we wanted. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to have beautiful and timelines invitations!
I never thought I could be excited about wedding invitations- and then my husband and I started working with Kelly. From our first meeting she was prepared with so many different options for us to consider. Once we chose our design she walked us through the entire experience, explaining every detail along the way. She was always around to answer questions and provide options if there was something we wanted to tweak. If we did make any changes she had drafts for us within the hour. And when we got close to wedding time and were working with escort cards she made sure everything the perfect, even making and overnighting a card to us when we ended up missing a guest! She always went above and beyond for my husband and I and I cannot begin to count the number of guests who told us we had the most beautiful invitations they had ever seen. All thanks to Kelly and her incredible work.
Our most recommended vendor from our wedding! Kelly was so patient, flexible and helpful through the entire wedding planning process ( including 3 wedding dates and 2 reschedules!). Our re-save the dates, invitation stationary, and day of stationary were all perfect and more than we could have hoped for. Kelly’s creativity and ideas are second to none and her process is seamless no matter what state you live in. She is a true joy to work with. Highly recommend to all!
Kelly Joyce Designs knocked it out of the park on my wedding suites!
Not only once, but twice due to the pandemic. I found out about 2.5 months before my wedding that I would have to relocate if I wanted to keep the same date. Kelly worked with me quickly, efficiently, but most importantly gracefully. She allowed me the time I needed to regroup, & get the new information together. Best of all, we were still able to get the suites done and in the mail on time! I received endless compliments on wedding suites including design, quality, and creativity!
Kelly also helped me design some of my "day of" pieces. After working with her on my wedding suites, she knew my style, likes, and dislikes, and it really felt like we shared the same brain. As you probably guessed, my pieces turned out great + they exceeded my expectations!
Working with Kelly was so much fun! It was surreal to see the vision I had in my head come to life! If you're looking for an easy, fun, and rewarding designer to work with Kelly is your girl! Trust me she will not disappoint!
I cannot wait to work with Kelly again in the future for all my other events! I cannot express enough appreciation for her work and talent.
Many Blessings and Utmost Gratitude!
xoxo,
Kayley & Austin Price
Kelly was so amazing to work with for my wedding invitation suite! My sister is an artist and she designed my suite for me, so I worked with Kelly to print the designs that I provided her. The stationery was one of the elements of my wedding that I was most excited about and I'm a bit neurotic, so I researched and vetted about twenty different printers before deciding to go with Kelly. Her email correspondence right off the bat was prompt and courteous and her pricing was extremely competitive so I was able to stay within my budget. I had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted already, and she clearly explained my options in terms of letterpress vs. digital printing, paper thickness, ink colors, and add-ons (like envelope liners, belly-bands, and pocketfolds) to help me make the perfect choices to achieve exactly what I was going for. Planning a wedding is never easy, but having to plan around the massive logistical hurdle that was COVID-19 is even more stressful. Kelly made the experience seamless and stress-free. Even though we never met in person, she managed to communicate with me seamlessly, payment was super easy (she accepted Venmo which is huge, especially for people like me who don't have a book of checks), and delivery of my items straight to my door was prompt and completely hassle-free. I would recommend Kelly to fulfill anyone's printing needs, whether it be for a wedding or any other event! The next time I have an occasion to hire a printer, I'll go right back to her without hesitation. Thank you so much Kelly!
Working with Kelly and Kelly Joyce Design was a DREAM. My husband and I are NOT creative people and I was dreading making an invitation suite. I kept pushing it off, had no idea where to start and the whole idea of having to create a beautiful invitation for our wedding just stressed me out. Until I received a Save the Date Kelly had made in the mail for another wedding we were attending and I knew she was the answer. Kelly immediately set up a call with us to go over color schemes and themes. She took charge but seamlessly included the few details that my husband and I knew we wanted and sent us TONS of invitation suite examples. Before my eyes our invitation suite was created based off of our wedding colors and the overall "feel" we wanted for our wedding. Living in Buffalo and having Kelly based in Chicago caused no problems for her. Weekly I had samples of paper, fonts, colors, EVERYTHING in the mail and before I knew it our invites were being sent. We received so many compliments on the invitations, people couldn't believe how beautiful and "fairy tale" like they were. The exact reaction I was hoping for and we used our invite suite to plan the rest of our wedding, from signage to linens and everything in between. We got our wedding album back today and the first picture is of our invite suite and immediately my husband said "see how important it is to have a beautiful invite?" he couldn't be more right. It captured us and our day perfectly. Definitely work with Kelly Joyce Design for ALL your invite needs. You will be thrilled with the results.
My husband and I had a general idea of what we wanted our wedding invitations to look like, but had no idea where to begin. We contacted Kelly as we knew she just started her business and wanted to work with someone we could trust. From our first phone call, to contributing to a vision board, and having her go through many many iterations of our invitations, it came out absolutely perfect! My husband and I were blown away how she took our initial idea of "spring colors and watercolor" and created what is captured in the picture below. Kelly provided incredible guidance and came up with creative ideas throughout the whole process to make sure we were both completely satisfied with the final product (my husband cared a LOT about the font and how it contrasted with the watercolor, Kelly nailed it!). If you want a vendor you can trust, who listens to you fully, and can follow through for the most complex requests (within your timeline), Kelly is your girl! Nearly 2 years after our wedding, we're using Kelly's services again to frame some prints from our wedding song. She is talented and thorough in everything she does, we're so excited to work with her again!
Kelly was beyond helpful, supportive, flexible, responsive, and kind throughout the entire process. She listened to everything we envisioned to a T. She made our vision come to life and the entire time we felt heard and validated by her. She made sure to fit our budget and the results were AMAZING. I have never gotten so many compliments, and the invitations turned out to be one of my favorite details of our wedding. Kelly was a joy to work with and I would recommend her 100%. She will work with your budget and whatever you want. She will offer creative direction if you WANT it and also do exactly what you want.
Working with Kelly Joyce Design on our wedding invitation suite was an absolute dream. She is an exceptional professional with a keen eye for incorporating a personal touch into her beautifully creative designs. I would recommend Kelly to absolutely anyone looking to design personalized wedding invitations (or any other related products)!
I would highly recommend using Kelly Joyce Design for your wedding invitations!! She was hands down my favorite vendor to work with for my big day. Kelly treats every customer like they are her only customer and will make sure that you are completely obsessed with your final product! From the beginning design stages to the final product, the entire process was professional, high-quality, and honestly just really really fun!
Kelly really does incredible work. She is able to bring your ideas and vision to life but can also help with some excellent design direction when you need some inspiration! She really nailed the energy with a bright and fun bridal shower invitation. I loved the wax seal detail she suggested.
Kelly was great to work with, prompt with communication, and genuinely excited to be a part of our event. Thank you, Kelly! Definitely my go-to for all paper/stationary needs.
