We used Paper Works and Events for our wedding invitations and they were absolutely beautiful. Andrea and Alison helped us create truly a one of a kind wedding invitation. They listened to what we liked, showed us different designs, and togethe...
r we were able to create something truly unique. The proofs came in quickly, and through those proofs we were able to change and tweak it to make it exactly the way we wanted. I never felt bad telling Alison the minor changes we wanted done, because she was kind, and sweet. She would quickly make them and send a new proof allowing us to see what it may look like. Also, we received proofs on everything, our seal, accommodation card, response card, envelopes and every addressed envelope. Having each proof made it visually friendly for us and allowed us to pick the invitation suite we liked best. Due to the fact we had time, Alison even sent me paper samples and color swatches for the band. I was able to be a part of every part of the process and it felt like a true partnership. Lastly, we did not include assembly in our package. However, Alison felt that it was going to be hard to assemble one part of our invitation and did that one part for us with no additional charge. We were blown away by her generosity. When our guests received our invitations we received so many compliments. If you want to have something unique, one of a kind, and work alongside wonderful people, you must use Paper Works and Events.
Andrea and her team are fabulous, attentive and will work with you if you have a reasonable budget. My wedding invitations were so beautiful and I received so many compliments! The quality, attention to detail and service was excellent.... they...

rice point we wanted which really put us at ease when wedding planning! And on top of all of that they created invitations for us that people are STILL talking about! People were blown away when they received them, it totally set the tone for our wedding and everyone couldn’t wait for the actual day because of the invitations Andrea and Alison created. I will forever use them in the future for events. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Andrea and Alison for all your hard work. You ladies are SO talented and it shows in what you create!

My husband and I were so pleased with all our stationary needs for our wedding, all thanks to Andrea and Alison at Paper Works and Events. We had ordered our invitation suites, escort cards, menus, and signs for the bars and other items around ...
the venue. My husband and I wanted laser cut option and after seeing reviews on the knot and samples of their work on their website, we knew they were the perfect vendor for our wedding stationary. Andrea and Alison are both extremely creative and came up with such amazing original ideas and work. I cried when my invitations came in because they were so perfect and beautiful! Andrea offered suggestions on how to stay within our budget too, which most vendors won't do since they just want your money but Andrea went above and beyond to exceed our expectations and not our budget! She even worked with our florist for favor ideas and offered so many great suggestions on favors and wedding related planning. What I also really loved about them was that their hours were flexible and we were able to meet after work, which other invitation businesses could not provide. My husband and I were so grateful for all their work and time. I would chose them again for any of my stationary and event planning needs in the future. Thank you so much again, Alison and Andrea!
Paper Works & Events is incredible! They were recommended to us by our flower/décor vendor, and as soon as we met with Andrea, we did not bother looking anywhere else. Invitations were extremely important to us since they really set the stage f...
or your whole wedding. We wanted something unique, romantic and classic- and that is precisely what we got. Andrea is a wonderful resource and really knows her stuff- she walked us through the whole process, presented us with many options, and was extremely helpful! During the design phase, I worked with Alison who was an absolute dream. I am definitely a perfectionist, and her attention to detail was unmatched. I am not exaggerating when I say that our invitations blew our guests away! They were the most perfect invitations I could have ever imagined. The phone calls/emails/texts came pouring in as soon as we sent them out- we received so many compliments; our friends and family have never seen such beautiful work. In addition to our invitations, we also used them for our escort cards, menu cards, and table numbers- all which were just as beautiful as our invites, and helped make for a beautiful, cohesive event. We are so thankful and appreciative for everything they did for us to make our wedding perfect. My sister and her fiancé booked them for their June 2017 wedding- so that should speak for itself! We could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish! If you want the best- book them!
Andrea and Alison are the best! I was referred to them after I had a disastrous time at another stationer. The other stationer did our wedding invitation (which was beautiful even after it was feared they were lost in the mail because this oth...
er business didn't know how to track it). Andrea was amazing! I had already come to her for all the extras for our wedding (thank you note stationary, hand calligraphy, cocktail napkins, etc.) Andrea, even though she didn't do the invitation for me, helped me so much. I knew if I had to reorder them, Andrea would've had them done and fast. My only regret is not knowing to come to Paper Works from the beginning.
The hand calligraphy was stunning! It looked so elegant and perfect!
Alison is incredible too. When I had a question and emailed her, the response was always prompt and immediate. I was never left wondering about any details. She is practical and wouldn't let me overspend (a less honest business would have no problem). They are the epitome of professional and honest. The relationship started to feel more like a friendship rather than business.
Thank you Andrea and Alison!
It was an absolute pleasure working with everyone at Paper Works and Events. My husband and I chose our wedding invites on day one of entering their studio. Andrea provided us with a ton of options right away and helped narrow down our choices ...
based on our personal interests, price, and style. I thought choosing invites would be one of the more difficult choices throughout our wedding planning process but it ended up being the easiest! Everything was customized exactly to our liking at every step (even the envelopes!). Alison and Daniella were extremely helpful with the font designs, monogram design, and envelope addressing. All my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. All proofs and final products were provided in a timely manner way in advance and there were always extras available for those last minute (unavoidable) changes. I found the entire process to be completely stress free and I still receive compliments about how unique and classy my invites were. I also had escort cards printed to match my colors and fonts from the invites. I highly recommend working with Paper Works and Events!
From the start I knew I wanted a local invitation company. I liked some of the invites I was seeing online, but I was concerned that I wouldn't get the same attention to detail. Luckily, I found Paper Works and Events.
Andrea, Alison and Danie...
lle were creative, attentive and extremely detail-oriented. They were also very patient.
My mom and I chose a sleek black and white invitation. But when my fiance saw it he was frustrated that there was no color. Andrea came into the shop ON A SATURDAY NIGHT to help us find a middle ground. And the result was breathtaking.
I have worked with many graphic designers over the years. But Alison is light years above most designers I've worked with. The fonts, designs and layouts she creates are elegant and one-of-a-kind. She also has infinite patience for multiple changes and tweaks.
Paper Works and Events helped me with my wedding from start to finish. That included invitations, thank you notes, escort cards, custom labels for welcome bags and custom labels for plastic water bottles. Every item they produced was upscale and sophisticated. Nothing cookie cutter here!
If you are looking for something basic and inexpensive this may not be the place to turn. Paper Works and Events offers a wide array of designs and prices. But they excel in the high end.
EVERYTHING is custom. This is not like going to a generic website and choosing a design from a list. Your invitations will reflect you, your taste and sensibility.
Want to create a wow moment? Go to Paper Works and Events. Your guests will be talking about the invites for months to come!
My mother and I reviewed so many vendors however, after meeting with Andrea and her staff who are knowledgeable, responsive, sets clear expectations and delivers outstanding results which was worth every penny. Our invitations were simply brea...
thtaking which set the tone for our wedding. Andrea, Allison and Danielle were so accommodating, their suggestions just made everything perfect. Not only were the invitations great, the Day of stationary was exceptional too!!! I would tell any bride that's shopping for invitations, Paper Works and Events is a must, I promise you will not be disappointed. Andrea and team, I can't thank you enough for making my day even more wonderful with your special touch!
THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Choosing Paper Works and Events for our wedding save the dates and invitations was one of the best decisions we made in planning our big day. As a graphic designer myself, I wanted to hire a team who would understand my eye...
for design and who would take my breath away. They did! And they were such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. They were extremely professional, artistic, and meticulous about every last detail. They went above and beyond my expectations in every single way and I would use them again in a heart beat! Don't look any further - this is definitely the place to go to!
I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. My mom and I had an appointment and when we walked in, Andrea (apparently the owner) did not even stand to greet us but said "we'll be right with you". There were no other clients at that time. Andr...
ea finally came to us and said "when is the wedding" without even asking our names or introducing us. She then sat down and asked questions about the wedding (If we booked the flowers, photos etc.) which we thought were irrelevant since we told her this was the first place we went to shop for invitations and that we do not have an idea of what we want unless we see some samples. She gave us a couple of books to look at and when we asked for a notepad and paper, she did not want to supply since she said that they normally don't provide notepad and pen to their clients. We had to explain that it would be better for us to note what we like and be able to explain to our ideas since we would be looking at a lot of samples. She kept arguing with us to the point that my mom and I felt uncomfortable. I asked my mom if she wants to just leave since we did not feel Andrea or her staff were being helpful. Andrea said we just felt annoyed because of her questions about the wedding which was not even the case. My mom answered me back "Yes, let's leave" and Andrea responded "PLEASE DO!" in a very disrespectful tone.
I have worked with many vendors for our wedding and they were all professionals and eager to have our business. This was the worst and glad we did not choose this place. Later that day, we went to Paper Source in Summit NJ and they were very professional and helpful and even provided a checklist and notepad without waiting for us to ask.
Clients go with a business #1 for their quality of service which Andrea and staff did poorly.
Response from the Vendor on 06/24/2016
We are sorry you feel this way. At Paper Works and Events we strive to best serve our clients by focusing in on their needs. Anyone clearly should wonder about the discrepancy in your experience by reading all of our other reviews.
You first ...
called us to say you would be 15 minutes late and you arrived an hour later. In that time, I finished up my work and when you walked in I asked you to kindly have a seat and that I would be right with you. I don't think that is so unusual. You didn't even have to wait for a minute. I myself admittedly was not feeling well that day. I’m a diabetic, my blood sugar had dropped and so if I inadvertently did not ask for your name, I apologize. With that being said, both you and your mom came into my studio upset to begin with. When I sat down with you and I did ask when your wedding is. Most of my clients are thrilled to answer that question!
Your wedding at the Grand Cascade Lodge, a rustic venue in the mountains. You emphasized that it is a black tie event. Clients have used kraft paper, engraved invitations and mirrored lucite with bling for black tie events. I asked you to elaborate so I can get to know you. I asked: Are you modern or traditional? What are your colors? You didn’t answer my questions and you kept saying it is black tie so I did ask if you have a florist to see if you choose colors or decor so I can get to know you. I’m confused as to why me asking you if you have a florist bothered you. I would never ask about your photographer - it serves no purpose to our meeting. Clients usually love sharing all their wedding details! Your mother then asked, “Why are you asking us this - we told you the wedding is black tie.” You even had to reassure her by saying: “Mom it’s ok, she’s just getting to know us.”
I thought it would be helpful to show you an album so that I can see what you liked and gave you post it notes to tag invitations. You asked me for a pad and pencil and I went to get you one. I briefly stopped to answer a question from an employee. This seemed to upset you & your mother who was getting agitated and asked why I am taking too long to get you a pad & pen. I was so baffled and shocked by your the tone of her voice so I said “I will be right with you” and you walked out. Maybe you were having an off day. I am glad that you were able to find what you were looking for elsewhere. I truly wish you all the best.
We had our wedding invitations made with them and we were so impressed with how they came out and the time and energy put into them we decided to have all our wedding stationary made to match. Everything turned out exceptional, beyond our expec...
tations! The team made us feel special and that we were important (did not matter the budget) - not always easy to find. They were professional & patient with us throughout the process; always had time to email or talk on the phone if we had any questions. Highly recommend them for any occasion & would certainly use them again!
It saddens me to see even one negative word written about Paper Works & Events, as I had the most incredible and personalized experience with them over the last four months of working together. And my wedding is still 11 days away! Admittedly, ...
I wasn't very decisive during this process! My fiance (and Andrea and Alison) could vouch. After mailing me more samples of the color invitations I thought I had wanted during our meeting, I suddenly decided to change the entire scheme to black and white which the designers rolled with perfectly. Part of the reason I had so much trouble during this process with "other" vendors was because I couldn't visualize my options and nobody ever took any time to explain them to me while we looked through those awful binders the way Andrea did. But I received no less than 6 different invitation designs to choose from including a different/matching design for each insert as well. It was exactly what I needed to see laid out in front of me in order to start making decisions. After invitations went out, I had enlisted Paper Works to print a number of other items for our Wedding to ensure we'd have a cohesive look throughout all of our other stationary and signage as well. When budget became an issue, Andrea followed-up with me to tell me she found a way to print the pricey programs that I had my heart set on. I was so touched that she kept me in my mind when she found a cheaper option. Again, it was designed beautifully and they were super fast with proofs for my ceremony programs, cocktail napkins and reception menus. They are by far more than just a "printer." Their unique designs and suggestions were exactly what I needed and didn't know it. I would recommend starting the process about a month earlier than you think you should, though. There is a lot of back and forth required, and if you are anything like me and need time to perfect wording, then there's no point in rushing yourself. Just get it done, and use Paper Works!
This review is LONG overdue. When we first got engaged my husband and I were extremely indecisive about which vendor to choose for our invitations. We previously visited another vendor and it was AWFUL. After doing some serious research I came...
across Paper Works and Events. Upon entering their office I noticed how clean and organized everything was….such a breath of fresh air. I knew right away we were in the right place. After meeting with Andrea, Alison and Kerry the deal was sealed. Andrea was willing to work within our budget to make things work and I instantly fell in love. Our family & friends are still raving about how beautiful & elegant our invitations were. OH and how can I forget…the invitations smelled awesome!!! Yes they smelled awesome-it was some sort of powdery smell but was a great touch. We also ordered our church program and escort cards from these ladies as well. We highly recommend Paper Works and Events to those who are looking for high quality invitations with a wonderful staff!!! Thanks again ladies…you are the BOMB.COM!

Alison, Andrea and the
team at Paperworks did an amazing job for our wedding invitations. Time
was shorter than usual, requiring multiple work arounds to make it happen within the time required. Not only was the timelines met but the end
res...
ult was beyond my expectations! Many invitees called, to say how much
they loved their invitations. Thanks you guys for your help, diligence and
support! I would recommend you to anyone without any hesitation!
I had an appointment today to discuss wedding invitations for my upcoming June wedding. Well what a terrible experience I had. When I got home, I wrote them an e-mail... here is what I said.
"Thank you for your time today.
Unfortunatel...
y, I was not impressed with how my mother and I were treated. We felt as if you didn't want and need our business. We sat there looking at books not knowing what can be customized, not knowing the prices, while you sat at your desk with your feet up... Literally. You should have just told us you didn't want is there because that is exactly how we felt. I respect the fact that you wanted to give us time to browse through the books - however, you gave me post it notes to tag pages. Okay, I did that and you didn't do anything about it. You didn't discuss the pages I was interested in. At the very end you mentioned one price to me. Yes, I saw one other invitation company a week ago to browse through items because this is new for me and it should be fun... sadly, today wasn't. You were more interested in your "competition" than you were at gaining a new customer. I will be sure to write a truthful review of your company on "the knot" which is how I found you. I am very disappointed.
Thank you for your time. Best of luck to you and your company."
Good luck to those who use this company. Maybe I caught them on a bad day?
Response from the Vendor on 08/13/2014
This was our response to Jennifer's email:
I’m sorry I did not respond to you sooner because I was in client meetings all afternoon and evening as well as all morning and just had the opportunity to read through my emails. I think answering an...
email in 24 hours is a respectable time frame and I do respond to ALL clients. Having said that you are clearly upset given that you felt the need to email me twice to confirm that I received it.
While you were here, You and your Mom were smiling, so I had no reason to believe you were unhappy. If you had questions, why did you not ask? When you left here with your mom I actually said “they were very sweet!” so I am shocked and sorry that you clearly left with a much different impression. You are incorrect though that I did not want your business. All I want to do is please clients, by getting them something they love, within their budget. That is why I was so happy when you found something in an album that you really liked. We did go over what you liked in the albums, because we discussed that you LOVED the white scalloped envelopes that William Arthur has. At that point, I gave you pricing for that invitation and you were thrilled. There weren’t any other invitations you liked as much, so we did not discuss the pricing of those items. If you were interested in the cost difference between multiple invitations, I would have gladly done that for you.
And yes, you are correct that I did ask a lot about the other stationer you had gone to visit, but that is because I wanted to ensure that I was not showing you the same items, and that you were seeing something different. I wanted to explain what sets my business apart from the person you had previously met with.
When you left, you said you were going to come back with your fiancée to show him the items that you had liked.
Again, you gave no indication that you were upset by any means. I would have happily sat with you and gone through every album we have if you hadn’t found something that you liked. But we did find something you liked, and you wanted to bring your fiancée back.
We are sorry that you left disappointed, and wish you had communicated your questions to us, so maybe you wouldn’t have left feeling that way. Wishing you and your fiancée all the best in your wedding planning.
I worked with Alison starting with my save the dates (which she designed after hearing my vision, and they were amazing!!!) then they worked with me on invitations, escort cards, programs and menus! I always felt taken care of and all the work ...
was beautiful! Alison always responded to emails promptly which was very important and something some other vendors did not! I would use paper works and events again and know that I would be getting amazing quality and still sticking to my budget!
Paper Works and Events did an amazing job with my wedding invitations. They were absolutely perfect, modern and elegant. They worked with me one on one to make sure that I was 100% satisfied with the product and were very quick to respond to em...
ails and any questions that I had. Andrea, Alison and Kerry were very professional and did everything to make sure that my invitations were exactly as I envisioned them. I highly recommend them and their business. I got so many compliments on my invitations!
The attention and service we received was the best I have ever experienced. I felt like I was their only client, which is NOT the case. Our invitations were beautiful and we still receive complements on them almost two years later. Love, Love,...
Love!!!
I have to say, they created the most amazing invitations I have ever seen. We gave them a vision and they went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Every detail was thought of and executed to perfection, from the invitations and env...
elopes to the programs, menus and place cards.
Love my invitations and had a great time with Andrea who helped pick them out. My guest are raving about the invites.
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was visiting Alison at Paper Works and Events!
Though my fiance and I had an idea about the overall emotion we wanted the save-the-dates and invitations to convey, we really didn't have many sp...
ecifics in mind. But, Alison listened to us and within a few minutes, figured out what we wanted before we really did. She pulled samples and fonts that she thought we would like -- and we did -- and she used those elements to design customized pieces for us to choose from. It was only a couple of days after we visited her that we received emails with four different custom designs to choose from. And when we wanted to mix and match aspects from one design with another, she was totally cool with that, made a new design, emailed that over a day later, and voila - we made our choice. Quick, efficient and fun.
Also amazing - Alison is more concerned about the price of your product than you are! She doesn't want her brides to go broke and she works really hard to find cost-cutting alternatives in whatever design you choose. We managed to slash hundreds and hundreds of dollars off of the design we wanted -- without compromising our vision -- by making little tweaks here and there. The end result was a super fancy-looking product for a very reasonable price.
Andrea and Kerry were also great to work with - as they helped us with the envelope-printing process when Alison was on vacation. They were always very accessible on the phone and email, made sure everything was just right in terms of fonts and the actual data, and even stayed late one night when we were stuck in traffic en route to picking up our goods.
Thank you, ladies! The brides of Bergen County are very lucky to have you!
I was a bride who knew exactly what I wanted. I was referred to paper works and events through a friend of a friend, after being quoted so high in NYC I decided to call. I forts spoke with Allison who within five minutes on the phone knew exact...
ly what I was imagining she instantly sent me a sample via email. Andrea came in on her day off to meet with me and pick papers and color options. I got a larger invitation with envelope liners and hand calligraphy for less them I was be quoted in NYC for a smaller invitation. I also wanted a custom monogram and Allison spent countless hours and days perfecting until we found the right font. Hands down a great value for amazing service. I highly recommend.
I went to Paper Works & Events for my invitations. They were very easy to work with and helped me find invitations that matched my vision. They were very knowledgeable of the different types of invitations offered and pulled many types based ...
on a basic description I gave.
The only reason I took off stars was because after initially selecting an invitation, I brought in my husband to officially select and order the invitation less than 2 weeks later. Unfortunately, since it was the end of the year, the invitation was no longer available. I wish I had known that the turn-around time for invitations was so quick! I had to start the whole process over. It ended up working out and I found an invitation I liked (although a second order had to be placed because the ink didn't match - it was obviously free of charge), but make sure if you like something, to ask if it will still be available the next time you come in.
Wow . . . my invitations, place cards, and wedding programs exceeded my expectations! Working with Andrea and Alison was a pleasure from the moment we walked in to discuss invitations. Their patience and talent in finding and designing the righ...
t invitations/programs/place cards is unmatched! My guests were amazed at the elegance and beauty of their work and products! We received so many compliments! I've already started sending friends to them! They made the entire experience an amazing pleasure! I would strongly suggest you check out Paper Works and Events!
Let me just start by saying that Alison, who designed our wedding invitations, as well as our menus, programs and place cards, is literally an artistic genius! I started the wedding planning process thinking that we would just pick the simplest...
possible invitations and be done with it. However, once we spoke to Alison, and we heard all of her amazing ideas, we were sold. She created the most elegant invitations I have ever seen. It was like she went inside my head and created what I did not even know I wanted. There were dozens of guests who commented on how beautiful they were. I also saved myself a lot of headache by having Alison design and print our wedding programs. For a very reasonable price (I essentially told her all I could pay for them, and she found materials that would work in that budget), she created what ultimately matched my invitations in design and color scheme (she even used some of the same design elements she created especially for me), and delivered a gorgeous finished product that I did not have to then sit and start folding, tying ribbons to, etc. I just literally cannot say enough about Alison's work. She truly is exceptional at her job. She and Andrea worked really hard to make my husband and I happy.
We originally found Paper Works and Events through the Knot but later found out that several friends / family friends had used them with nothing but fabulous things to say. We ended up using their services for our wedding invitations, menu's, p...
lace cards and table numbers. Alison and Andrea were a huge help! They were kind enough to stay late past store hours to meet one-on-one since we were unable to get there earlier during work hours, and they helped us create one-of-a-kind invitations that were exactly what we were looking for! They were also patient and helpful in getting things done on short notice as we had delays from RSVP's and hurricane sandy. We were so happy with the end products and had so many positive comments on our invitations! We would absolutely recommend Paper Works and Events to anyone interested in creating custom or pre-designed invitations, etc. for their next event!
Andrea, Alison and the entire paper works team did an amazing job designing and fabricating all of the paper goods for our wedding. They were easy to work with, quick to respond to any emails or phone calls, and delivered on time!
Guests wer...
e blown away when they saw our custom "save the dates", invites, and other items. Paperworks really helped us hone in on a theme for the wedding and gave the event a polished feel that would not have otherwise been possible.
When we visited other "custom" invitation shops most were trying to sell the same invite client to client, with the names changed. When we visited paperworks, they were game for anything. I honestly think if we asked them to print the invite on sheetrock they would have done it. They are really that accommodating and creative!
Working with them was a pleasure. The way they present their proofs is miles above most other professional graphics houses. I wish they did more than invites!
Andrea and Allison are amazing! They helped make my invitation incredibly unique and they were consistently timely, professional, and helpful. Having such great people to work with took a huge load off the traditional wedding stress. I would us...
e them again in a heartbeat!
Paper Works and Events is fabulous! I came in with a vision and they made it happen! They made my save the dates, invitations, programs, and escort cards, and it all looked STUNNING! I received MANY compliments. They are professionals and amaz...
ing at what they do. I was so happy with the outcome of everything. I have nothing but great things to say about Paper Works and Events.
I loved working with Paper Works and Events. Alison was incredibly sweet and always very responsive. After a not so great experience with another vendor that did our invitations we decided to go with another company for the rest of our wedding ...
stationary. Paper Works did an incredible job giving our stationary a cohesive look to the invites we previously had done. We were very happy with our programs, menus, and table numbers. So happy we recently had them do our personal monogrammed stationary. Alison was very knowledgeable and always honest, even suggesting less expensive options where it didn't make sense to spend more money. I loved that! Overall we were very happy with the service Paper Works provided.
After ordering Save the Dates through a magnet company and being thoroughly disappointed, I found Paper Works and Events. They are amazing! Alison, Andrea, and Ana are all incredibly talented and were such a pleasure to work with. I ended up...
with the most amazing Save the Dates, invitations, and rehearsal dinner invites too! They listened to what we wanted and helped us create the most perfect invites for our wedding. In the future, I will use their expertise for invitations and stationery. Hands down, one of the best decisions I made was using Paper Works and Events for our wedding!
Andrea, Alison and Ana were a pleasure to work with. We came to them needing menus and escort cards. They designed beautiful menus and escort cards which complemented an existing invitation. We were impressed not only by the quality of their wo...
rk but by their attention to detail. They completed every stage in a timely manner and had the final product ready on the promised date. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market for wedding stationery.
Paper Works was really great to work with. Their team is patient, accommodating, has a lot of attention to detail and is very friendly. I would use them for any future printing!
We used Paper Works for our invitations, tablecards and programs for our wedding on July 30, 2011. We shopped around to a couple different vendors in NJ before we found Paper Works. I echo another reviewer's comment that other places didn't wa...
nt to seem to get to know us or really listen to us. We felt that Andrea's vision, knowledge, and honesty, were unmatched by any other vendors.
We absolutely loved our wedding invitations. We had custom invitations made based on different aspects of other invitations I had seen and liked. Andrea and Alison really made the whole invitation come together perfectly. Alison’s creativity and vision were incredible and she very responsive. From the beginning, Andrea did not offer us the most expensive options. Andrea felt that we could always add to the invitation and her pricing was reasonable. Our guests could not stop talking about our invitations and how they were the most stunning invitations that they had ever seen.
After the amazing job they did on our invitations, we also had them do our tablecards and programs. Eventhough tablecards and programs come at the end of the wedding process, it was not a stressful, Alison and Andrea made it so easy and the product was simple and elegant.
There is no need to look anywhere else!
P.S. We also just had Paper Works print our thank you notes and again their service and quality were wonderful!
Paper works and events are hands down the best invitation vendor in NJ!! From Day 1, I knew this was where my husband and I would be getting our invitations... Andrea understood exactly what we were looking for and helped us express that to her...
AMAZING designer Alison. I seriously could not thank them enough, as their patience, experience, good taste, and caring really helped created our PERFECT wedding invitation. They helped take our idea to another level and it set the tone for our entire day!!! It was everything we asked for!!! They are truly the best!! Thank you ladies!! :)
Andrea and Alison did an amazing job on our wedding invitations! The paper that they used was beautiful and they came up with ideas to help me cut down my invitation costs. I received a lot of compliments on my invitations and table numbers and...
would definitely recommend them. This was the easiest part of my wedding process!
"The most beautiful wedding invitations they have ever seen!" was the reaction and feedback we got from our guests to our wedding. My husband and I wanted classic, sophisticated, and elegant but had no idea what that actually looked like. Al...
ison and Paper Works and Events were fantastic to work with, (were so patient with my indecisiveness!) and helped us created amazing wedding invitations and church programs. They were stunning and I literally gasped when I saw them for the first time!! I highly recommend them!
I can't say enough great thinks about Andrea and Allison. They were both very easy to work with, flexibile with my work schedule, and open to a plethora of ideas that I came up with regarding what I wanted for my wedding invtation. Highly recom...
mend Paperworks and events! They offer a variety of invitations and if you do not like anything in the books - you can design your own, which is what I did! I received amazing compliments on my save the date, wedding invitation, programs.. everything that paperworks and events produced for us! Great company, great people! Go here!
I had my invitations done by Paper Works and Events, but chose to get the rest of my paper products (programs, place cards, table numbers) elsewhere. The invitations were beautiful (William Arthur), but very, very expensive. They had a printe...
r snafu the day I was set to pick up my invitations, so I had to wait an hour or two until they were finished printing the envelopes. When I went to stuff the envelopes at home, they were a few errors. Some of the envelopes were printed twice. Other envelopes were missing. I imagine these errors would not have been made had their printer been functioning properly.
Ultimately, I was very happy with the way the invitations came out (they printed a breakfast invitation, directions card, and response card for me--all beautiful).
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2011
Thank you for the recommendation Ava! Though the William Arthur invitations you chose were expensive, they turned out absolutely beautiful, especially with the custom ribbon you chose! We still feel awful about the printer's technical difficult...
ies that we had that day and the unfortunate timing with your order. We actually went out and bought a brand new one the following day because of the issues we had printing your envelopes! We wish you would have told us though about the issues with the envelopes you received as we would have immediately rectified it. We do hope all is well and wish you and Thomas nothing but the best!
We used Paper Works for all of our wedding paper goods and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Alison is amazing and will work with you in whatever direction you want to go in. We thought we wanted one type of look and wound up changing it ...
at the last minute with no problems whatsoever. Our invitations came out beautiful and we received so many compliments on them. Paper Works was also able to coordinate everything else for the wedding to match. I would use them again in a heartbeat!
Paper works and Events did an amazing job with all our save the dates, invitations, and menus! Alison was great and was very easy to work with. We will be recommending them to everyone! Thanks again!
Andrea and Alison designed a one-of-a-kind Save-the-Date, wedding invitation and matching Thank you cards for me. They worked very well with my budget (substitutions, design details, colors.) Alison even found the venue for my wedding ceremon...
y and reception! These ladies are very knowledgeable about the wedding business in general. Highly recommended!
From the minute my mom and I met Andrea and Alison we knew we hit the Jackpot. Not only are they knowledgeable, honest,and caring, but they are sincere. They were compassionate about every detail concering my wedding. They helped ease my str...
ess throughout the whole wedding process. It is with open hands and heart that i truely recommend Paperworks and Events to everyone not just Brides....
I am very pleased with my experience with Paper Works. They are very knowledgeable and helpful, willing to work with you to get exactly the design your want. They are true professionals.
I could not have been happier with my wedding invitations. Working with Andrea and Alison was the most stress free part of my wedding planning process. They have a very large selection and they are very knowledgable about the wedding industry i...
n general. I told them my budget and they did a great job at finding me an invitiation that was exactly what I was looking for without trying to make me spend more money. I highly recommend them!!
That's not all that I can say about this terrific company. My fiance and I really did not know what we had wanted in an invitation. When we met with the owner, Andrea, she wanted to know more about our day and who we are. From that, her and ...
her amazing assistant, Alison, came up with what would be our invitation. We went to other places, they didn't seem to want to get to know us or to really listen to us. When I say that there is no need to go anywhere else, I mean THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE. They kept in constant contact with us, gave us choices we never knew existed, and the fact that they actually cared. Which, as you know, when planning a wedding most people just want their money. OH, they are very reasonable with the pricing as well. AGAIN, these ladies know their stuff and are very creative and caring. I could go on, and on, and on about them. But you need to see for yourself. Go, trust me, it'll be one of the easiest decisions that you make.
