MLC Designs was hands-down my favorite wedding vendor. Madeline is a true joy to work with and she creates beautiful work. Madeline really listens to your vision and then brings everything to life! I received so many compliments on my save the dates, invitation suite, and day-of details. Do yourself a favor and hire MLC Designs for any stationery needs for your next event!!!
Madeline was fantastic! She created a gorgeous invitation suite and day of materials that blew us away! The number of compliments we received are countless and we could not be happier with her work.
Madeline is absolutely fantastic! She is a creative, talented, and delightful person. Our friends, who were already working with her, provided us with the recommendation, and we are thrilled we decided to go the same direction by doing a custom-designed invitation suite. We felt Madeline's prices were fair, and she was flexible with minor design changes to help us stay within our budget. She promptly replied to our initial contact and scheduled an in-person consultation with us the following weekend. We really enjoyed meeting her - she was relaxed, easy to talk to, and really understood our vision once we got to chatting about ideas. As it turns out, designing our invitation suite was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning! We also ordered our escort cards from Madeline, which she completed efficiently and designed them to match our invitation suite. Interestingly, our flowers ended up matching the invitation colors, too! Madeline kept in contact throughout the process, and I felt excited every time she sent an email during the design phases. She was respectful of our feedback and made sure we were happy with the final product. I have no hesitancy in recommending her, and I trust she can design something that would complement anyone's personality and vision.
I am so glad that I chose to work with Madeline for our invitations and day of details. Receiving her e-mails with the designs for everything was so exciting and then to see it completed in real life was perfect! I have received so many compliments on how beautiful our invitations were. I loved that Madeline was able to create a design that complimented the theme of our wedding and was individual to us.
My favorite creation was our escort cards, which were drink tags. We placed them on a custom drink for everyone to walk into. I always wanted to have a "different" seating chart and I am so thankful that Madeline was able to create this for us! It came out better than I imagined! The Watermill (where we hosted our reception) and so many of our guests were so impressed with the finished product!
Madeline was probably the easiest vendor we worked with in our entire wedding planning process. We came to her looking for short turn-around, custom wedding invitations and printed materials. She provided three different themes which were all beautiful and we moved forward with a lovely suite of designs. Everything was completed extremely quickly, beautifully, and she made pickup and sending a breeze. Madeline even folded, stuffed and stamped our invitations and mailed them for us! We had several guests praise us for our lovely invitations which were very unique compared to what I’d seen from any website or other designer and I’m sure I’ll be coming back to Madeline for future invitation/printing needs in the future. She’s amazing!
Madeline made our wedding so wonderful with invitations, ceremony programs, table numbers, and a seating chart, all of which were customized. She is super easy to work with and can make your ideas reality. She even was able to hire a reasonably priced sketch artist to draw our church on our programs. Madeline is very creative and helped us come up with so many ideas that we never would have thought of on our own. Highly recommended!
Madeline is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Her patience in guiding us through designing our custom suite of wedding stationary was phenomenal. For a bride who wanted perfection, Madeline delivered!! Her professionalism, communication, attentiveness and product turn around time was beyond excellent. Madeline is the real deal and I will definitely use her again.
We loved working with Madeline to design both our Save the Dates and our Wedding Invitations! She was always quick to respond and after listening to my ideas she created the perfect invitations! She was also happy to work through several drafts to help make sure every detail was perfect for us! Would highly recommend!
It was so wonderful working with Madeline! She is so talented, creative, responsive and professional. After our fist meeting, I knew she would be the one to create our invitations and day of designs. She guided us with her questions to help us describe our vision for the wedding and then she worked to create several options for us to choose. Her designs were unique, beautiful and truly one of a kind for the wedding.
She worked with us throughout the whole process to make sure everything was perfect and exactly what we wanted. She is truly an artist. Our invitations were gorgeous! She helped to make planning stress free by assembling, addressing and even mailing the invitations. Our day of designs matched our invitations and everything was just perfect! We just loved working with her. Thank you Madeline!
My husband and I worked with Madeline to help us design our save the dates, wedding invitations, welcome box notes, and several day of paper details. It was the best decision ever! Her designs are incredible and she truly captures your personality in her work. We loved how she balanced the continuity of the designs on everything she created, while also adding a unique twist that distinguished one piece from another. She valued our opinion and preferences throughout the process and ultimately created timeless keepsakes that we will cherish for years to come. I highly recommend mlc designs!
We used MLC for our Save the Dates, invitations, and several day of details. Basically, anything we could do through her, we did because she is that good! Not only does she create beautiful, unique designs, but she is so collaborative in the process and will not go to print until you are 100% satisfied (no draft limits here like with other vendors!). I loved that she was so easy to work with and receptive to my ideas, plus she is very creative so she brings so much to the table herself! She truly made my visions come to life, and honestly turn out even better than they were in my head! As an added bonus, you don't have to stuff and seal any envelopes or place any stamps- she handles everything from design to post office delivery! I truly feel like there is not a better option around for custom invitations/paper goods. Invitations set the tone for the wedding, and you can't go wrong with MLC! :)
We can't say enough amazing things about MLC Designs! We used MLC for our wedding invitations and day-of details (menus, place cards, welcome note, etc.), and everything turned out more beautiful than we ever could have imagined! Madeline worked with us to create a unique, one-of-a kind design that was the perfect touch to help make our day so special. MLC's work is not only beautiful, but they are willing to work with you throughout the process to make sure it is exactly what you're looking for. We highly recommend MLC Designs for all your invitation/stationary needs!
We are thrilled with the work MLC Designs did for our wedding! The invitations, seating chart, programs, menus, etc were all beyond fabulous. The paper design process was my favorite part of wedding planning - all thanks to Madeline!
Madeline did both our invitations and day of details (escort cards, menus, table numbers) and everything turned out beautifully! We met for an initial design consultation and from there she sent me several design ideas to narrow down the invitations. We planned the day of details with her during the last month before the wedding and she quickly created designs that coordinated with our invitations. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and totally great to work with!
We worked with Madeline at mlc designs for our wedding, which took place April 18th, 2015 and she was outstanding! She is so talented and creative, she did an amazing job on our invitations, as well as our day-of paper and details! We couldn't be happier with everything Madeline did for us and we are so thankful for her hard work. We highly recommend mlc designs!
We had a weekend wedding event at a summer camp so we knew our invites had to be perfectly themed as well as informational. Madeline was AMAZING to work with, and was completely on the same page as us when it came to design, as a graphic designer by hobby myself, she completely exceeded our expectations.
The planning/concept process was so easy and very well organized and as soon as we saw our proof and I knew we had made the right choice with her! It set the tone for our whole wedding :)
If you're looking for a vendor who's willing to listen, and get's it right the first time, Madeline is your girl, thank you, thank you!
The only thing I loved more than our wedding stationary was working with and getting to know, Madeline! She was so professional, understanding and accommodating. Face to face meetings, follow up emails after initial meeting, etc. As a bride you're pulled in so many directions and don't have time to chase vendors or worry that they don't get your vision. I never had to do that with MLC Designs! She was always available when I needed her but then not overflowing my inbox! It was the perfect balance! Our wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, escort cards, menus, ceremony programs, welcome notes, favor tags and bar signs were nothing short of beautiful and perfect. She also was always very understanding of the sometimes "crazy" bride moments when things needed to be completely changed. Lastly, her pricing is so reasonable and she will even assemble AND mail your invitations!(do it!! you'll thank me later!) I cannot say enough great things!
I loved my invites and save the dates! Madeline did such a great job making my vision come to life.
MLC Designs is the best of the best. Madeline worked with us on our Save the Dates, Invitations, and Day of Details. She made everything from scratch to create a vision we had for our wedding. Not only did she create the invitations, but she assembled, addressed and MAILED them. We just started receiving RSVPs back. It was incredible. It made our lives stress-free since we both work full-time and didn't have a lot of time to mail the invitations. The day of details were incredible and customized to make them exactly what we wanted them to be. She also dropped them off at our Reception site for us. All the paper details aside, Madeline is incredible to work with, she has the best customer service of any vendor we worked with! She is very responsive and so fun to work with. I recommend her to any bride getting married!!!! She will make your wedding beautiful and your planning stress-free!!! Thank you so much Madeline!!
I knew from the beginning that I did not want my wedding invitations to look like every other invitation that I got in the mail... but I'm also a traditional type of girl. So something too crazy just wouldn't work for me. I met Madeline at a bridal show and was immediately drawn to her designs that show the city of Baltimore. Given that I met my now-husband in Baltimore and our "story" was here, I knew that this was the direction I wanted to go in.
From our first meeting with Madeline, she perfectly captured every detail about who we are as people in our invitations. I got SO many emails and comments saying, "those invites are SO you!". They were gorgeous and simple with an unexpected pop of the Baltimore skyline on the back. We were wowed with them!
Not only that but Madeline designed all of our corresponding day-off materials- programs, welcome bag hand outs, and thank-you cards for each place setting. She met with us, took diligent notes, and sent us proofs of exactly what we wanted. Getting an email from her always made me so excited because I LOVED her work so much!
Ultimately, Madeline is the reason why our wedding was able to be exactly what we wanted it to be. So many people would ask, "do you have a theme?"-- and we didn't. But we did want to capture our life in Baltimore. Because of everything Madeline designed for us, we were able to do that. She added the cohesion to our wedding and really pulled together everything so wonderfully for us. She is super accommodating and flexible (even let me pick up whatever I needed from her early and at her home!). I LOVED working with her and hope I can figure out another time I'll need custom invites and can call on her. :)
I wish I had business cards from Madeline so I could hand one to every single person I know and meet. She's completely wonderful. I could go on forever praising her. I was probably not her favorite client. I had a very specific idea, but didn't know how to accomplish it so I nitpicked everything. The invitations would be the first glimpse our guests had of our wedding, and I wanted it to be PERFECT. And they were! I loved the wood grain pocket! When it came down to the day-of details, I got really confused by our officiant on the wording and therefore put everything behind schedule. Madeline never complained (though I'm positive I was frustrating her) and she got everything delivered - and it all looked exquisite. When I realized I had given her some incorrect information on 4 escort cards (misspellings, etc). she went above and beyond to have new ones printed and overnighted to me.
I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Her paper choices are top notch, and she's refreshing and creative when it comes to not just design but also the assembly and construction of it all. I had never much thought I'd care about paper choices or stationary, but from here on out all our christmas cards, baby announcements, ANYTHING will be coming from her. Since everything is done pretty much by email, it doesn't make a difference how close/far she may be from you. Use Madeline at MLC Designs, and you'll never be let down. She'll only surprise and delight you with beautiful wedding pieces.
