Found Carmody & Co on yelp and was pleased with the amount of positive reviews. I decided to give them a try. Dealt with Kathy from start to finish. I have to say I am very impressed with the quality of work Kathy provided. She was very sweet and laid back during the entire process. She was not pushy which i liked and let me take my time.Thank you Kathy for the amazing work! read more

Carmody & Co - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was desperately searching all through Pasadena for a wedding organizer for my sister in law. I called and went to many stores and couldn't find one. I called this store 30 minutes before closing time and they had one. I rushed over and got it. The owner was. Very sweet lady. She was very helpful. Everything in the store is super cute. They make invitations, cards and many other party favors. I will be back soon to shop. read more

I ordered my bridal shower invitations from Carmody and Kathy and also my wedding invitations. Both look not only beautiful, but they made the entire process so easy for me and it was truly a pleasure to work with both Kathy and Suzy. Their calm tone and professionalism made me calm! As an "almost-bride" I really appreciate that. My Bridal Shower Invites All I did was choose the invite I liked and gave them the location and time and all that information. They chose the font, which was stunning, the colors (gorgeous choice of colors) and the wording was better than anything I could have come with on my own. I loved how fast they were ready too. My wedding invites I just picked them up today. I can honestly say they are the most beautiful invites I've ever seen... Kathy helped me pick out the colors and style and she has great taste. With everything going on, I was lagging sending them my guest list but when I finally got around to it, they had it ready printed the next day, because they were caring about the fact that I didn't have too much time to send them out. I didn't even ask them to make it a rush. I honestly think that alone deserves 5 stars. Kathy and Suzy, thank you for everything!!! read more

If I could give six stars, I would! We had the BEST experience with Kathy at Carmody for our wedding stationary. She helped us design the most beautiful invitations, place cards, menus, table numbers, and programs, and she has such an elegant eye. She was incredibly patient with us through many changes to the proofs, and she was an absolute joy to work with. We received many compliments on everything from our guests, and we really have Kathy to thank! She is AMAZING! We couldn't have been happier. read more

I'm embarrassed to say I fell into the hype-the hype of ordering wedding invitations from overseas and expecting top notch material. After submitting my order from a Chinese website I immediately knew I made a mistake and quickly requested a refund. I remembered one of my vendors gave me Carmody and Co's business card and I immediately drove out there and had the pleasure of working with Kathy. I was able to touch all the papers and envelopes and knew exactly what to expect. In a matter of 2 weeks I received the most beautiful invitations. Kathy was such a sweetheart and an absolute pleasure to work with. She put me at ease and it was great because it was one less thing I had to worry about for my wedding! read more

If you are looking for custom invitations, this is the place!!! Kathy is amazing! Not only is she creative, professional, and outstanding at her craft, she's the most patient person, and will work with you till your invite is exactly what you dreamed it to be...and better! If you want the best, this is the place! read more

Thank you Carmody & Co. for my beautiful wedding invites! I had gone to another invite shop in La Canada originally and falling in love with an invite they offer in those books. It ended up being WAY to expensive & because I were ordering from a catalog I was limited to the changes I could make with spacing and font. I showed Carmody the invite and they made something very similar and even prettier for me. The owner (& designer) was very easy to work with. Thank You! read more

I can't say enough about the service and quality offered at Carmody & Co! I was planning a big event and designed, and ordered, our invitations online. When the invitations arrived, although I had ordered and reviewed several samples, the final printing was not what I would have hoped and I was disappointed. I then found Carmody & Co. and stopped into the shop. They have a lovely, large selection of invitations and other cards and products which gives one the opportunity to see and feel the product before ordering. Kathy is helpful and knowledgeable and was able to help me enhance the invitations that I had already ordered while also creating beautiful embossed envelopes that complimented them. After her help I was much happier with my invitations! In the future, I'll start at Carmody & Co., their prices are reasonable and they made everything both easy and beautiful for me. Excellent product and service! read more

If you're looking for a great experience and an amazing product, come here!!!!! I came in for wedding invitations and gave Kathy, the manager and graphic designer, many ideas and different colors that I'm using for my wedding. She created the most incredible invitations I've ever seen and I could NOT be happier with them!!! I have gotten a ton of feedback from guests, complementing the design, paper and creative style. This process was so easy with Kathy and the crew! The shop itself is super cute and fun to browse. I look forward to doing more invitations with them in the future :) read more

From the start, Kathy treated my 20-invite project like a royal wedding. Her intelligence, creativity and patience = amazing customer service. It's wonderful to work with a true professional and the invitations she designed are fabulous. From start to finish the project took under a week - crazy fast. The shop is in Orangewood Plaza across from Huntington Hospital so very convenient and easy to access. Thanks, Kathy. read more

I'm beyond happy with my promotional vouchers Carmody & Co designed for my new business. Kathy was extremely helpful and patient. The finale product looked amazing. Definitely going to place all my printing orders here from now on. read more

I recently came to Carmody & Co based on a referral from another institution who had previously used their services. I was under a tight deadline which got even tighter as time went on. I was doing an event which required a caterer and after the invitations had gone to print I received a call at 6:00 am from the caterer letting me know she was not able to accommodate our event any longer. As panic arose I called and emailed Kathy who had informed me earlier in the week that the invitations had gone to print. Short of a miracle she was able to stop the print and wait until I secured another caterer. She did not give me a hard time or threaten to charge me more money. Kathy was pleasant from the beginning to the end and the invitations turned out great. I highly recommend Carmody & Co as a choice for quality products and great customer service.

I wanted to like this place because the staff was very nice...but being nice doesn't always get the job done... I came into this store because I needed wedding invitations, the graphic designer and manager, Kathy seemed understand the concept I wanted... I gave her all the information, dates, location etc. This was done on 2/28, I also gave a $200.00 deposit. Kathy said that she would have a proof emailed within 3 days, I was so excited! I also ordered a stamp with my family name and address and they approximated that it would arrive in 1 week. After 8 days of waiting and not receiving a phone call or email, I decided to go to the store to speak with her. I live about 30 miles away, and when I came in, she asked me to come back in 3-4 hours, which in my mind meant that she needed time to work on it. I had my 18 month old child with me, so I walked around old town Pasadena for as long as I can, but when it got cold, I went back to the store and decided to wait in there. Kathy produced the proof half an hour later, and it was NOTHING like the concept we described. I asked her about the font, she said that what I wanted was not "wedding font"....really?! The proof looked like she made it in 30 mins, I could have made that in my computer at home. I felt overwhelmed and upset. I definitely did not want to work with her, ever. If this is the quality of work, I could not trust her to do my wedding invitation, I asked for a refund, and to make matters worse, she said that there was a $50.00 fee for the proof and labor, whatever! I just wanted to get out of there.... then, a few weeks later, I had to come in again, to get the stamp which was supposed to arrive 3 weeks earlier, but didn't, turns out they had to reorder it.... PLEASE STRONGLY CONSIDER THIS IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO TRUST THIS STORE WITH YOUR INVITATION NEEDS. they are not consistent.... I feel as if I wasted time and money at this store. read more

I seriously just had the greatest experience with the girls at Carmody & Co. They did all the stationary and signage for my upcoming baby shower, got it done in a super timely manner, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. This was the easiest process I have ever had to go through with an event. I am so grateful. They constantly made sure it looked how I wanted, they're open to your opinions even though they have their own great ideas and vision, and just, overall so sweet and wonderful. Thank you SO much for your hard work! read more

I used this place for my wedding invitations, programs, and place cards. The invites were AMAZING. People raved about them for months after receiving them. They were super high quality for not a whole lot more expensive than a similar quality "do it yourself" kit, but without the headache of actually having to do all the work yourself. We also received a lot of compliments on our programs on our wedding day. They have a wide variety of colors and styles. Kathy did a great job listening to what we wanted and delivering great quality products. If you have the little bit of extra money to spend and don't want the headache of trying to do the entire design yourself, I HIGHLY recommend Carmody. We drove to the shop from our house (~45 minutes each way) about 6 times and I would do it again in a heart beat knowing the quality of the product we received. read more

If I could give more stars I would. I was in a rush. I needed wedding invitations and they had to go out that week. Not only did this company pull this off, they did it with style! The invites looked fantastic and they were reasonably priced. We got them out in just a few days and Kathy even helped me pack the envelopes and seal them. This kind of service is rare these days. Highly recommend this place. read more

Weddings could be stressful!!! Invitations are the only thing that guests see before the big day; therefore we wanted our invitations to make everyone want to come to our wedding and know how beautiful it is going to be!!! We found out about Carmody at a bridal event and it was actually the only vendor that we ended up using out of the entire event!!! Kathy is the owner of the business and she just was such a pleasure to work with! I also had the pleasure to meet her sister and her mother at this event. They all had such a positive energy and I told my fiancé that I had such a good feeling about them! We didn't even make an appointment and Kathy welcomed us with open arms and we told her our budget and she had such quality invitations at such reasonable prices (which I couldn't say about other businesses at the event)! She made our vision come to life she also gave us amazing recommendations! Basically if you want beautiful, customizable, invitations for any occasion at reasonable prices please come here!!!! They were super fast too and the store looks so cute too! Kathy if you are reading this thank you for everything and thank you for being in this business, we are so proud handing out these invitations! read more

Kathy! You are a sweetheart!! Thank you so much for helping my fiance and I chose the most beautiful invitation for our wedding. You understood my vision and exceeded my expectations. I love how detailed you are with your work and have so much product to work with. Cant wait to pick up my invites and use your services again! I highly recommend Carmody & Co. for any invitation needs. read more

Kathy and Suzy are absolutely amazing! We ordered both our wedding and rehearsal dinner invitations through Carmody and we couldn't be more happy with them. Our wedding invitation was custom created by Kathy and we have received so many compliments on it! Suzy sat with us for at least an hour (we didn't have an appointment!) to help us comb through tons of invitation examples and help us identify exactly what we were looking for. Kathy then built a proof for us and revised it until we were completely happy with it. Carmody is so easy to work with--we cannot thank Kathy and Suzy enough for making it such a wonderful experience! read more

My recent visit to Carmody to order invitations was irritating. Two salesgirls in the store. One was helping a customer fold invitations. Another was with two customers. One walked right by me. Not a word. I stood there. I waited. i walked out. Common courtesy asks more than this. Not even an "hello" or "We'll be with you as soon as possible." I will never go in the shop again. read more

If you are looking for a company that shares your belief that Invitations (stationary) tell a story, set the mood, set the tone, and get people excited to attend an event, look no further. I have worked with Kathy on a number of events. Recently, Kathy designed one fabulous and fun invitation for my daughter's "sweet 16 / golden birthday" with a keen eye to costs. My daughter loved what she put together, including the thank you notes. Kathy's sister, Susie, works in the store. This dynamic duo provide the good ole fashion personal touch while creating something unique for your event. read more

Kathy at Carmody is amazing! We used her for all of our paper/printing needs for our wedding! She was easy to talk to and provided great examples and designs for our invitations. Our invitations were beautiful and several people remarked that they were the best they had ever seen! We liked them so much that we decided to go with Kathy for our programs, table names, place settings, thank you message in our favors, and after wedding thank you cards! Kathy delivered ahead of time with top quality products. Her staff was professional and courteous! We highly recommend Carmody for your paper and printing needs. read more
