Then a friend's sister told me about Marry-Me Designs and I looked it up. I filled out the Ideas Galore tab on the website and tried to explain what I was looking for. Tammy responded almost immediately and I had 3 concepts within a couple of days. I was so impressed; I booked with her right away! During the whole process, Tammy was such a pleasure to work with. She was extremely responsive and very accommodating. She worked with me to get the concept just right. At one point I was questioning something and Tammy said to me "Trust me, when you see it together you will love it." Well I'm so glad I did, because my invitations came out AMAZING! I have been getting so many comments from everyone as to how beautiful our invitations are. I absolutely love how they turned out; they were just what I had pictured my invitations to be! Plus her prices were much lower than I had seen looking through those books. I ended up spending less and getting more. I also had Tammy create my menus and programs that came out just as beautiful. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone.

From the first email until the very last email she sent me (a few minutes ago), Tammy has exuded a great spirit and total dedication to client happiness.

I stopped in here during my lunch hour today to get more information on getting addresses printed…read morefor wedding save the dates. Overall, I had a terrible experience and do not recommend anyone going here if you want good service or help. My first impression was not great as I stood at the front desk for about three minutes even though there were multiple people sitting and staring aimlessly a few feet away. When someone finally came over to help me, the guy said "I'm going to look at these while we talk," and pointed to some mockups that were scattered all over the counter. Um, ok. I proceeded to ask him about printing the aforementioned addresses. He interrupted me and said, "We usually do commercial jobs, but we could maybe do a sample for you." I pulled the sample envelope I brought with me out of my bag, and he immediately asked, "Where did you get these printed?" I told him I got them done online and he criticized them, saying "The printing on here isn't even straight!" This was referring to the return address label that we were able to get printed on our envelopes. Ok, I didn't ask for your feedback on the vendor we used. He then mumbled something and tapped into a calculator saying it would be $80 to address 120 envelopes. No thanks. Terrible service. I'm surprised they can stay in business at all if this is how they treat customers. I haven't written a Yelp review in months, but this merchant was well-deserving of a negative online review.

I contacted them via email and on one of their reps, Paul, immediately got back in touch with me. My design wasn't the right size or style, and I wasn't able to modify it. Paul jimmied it for me, even changed up some fonts that were lost. The finished product was exactly as I had intended. He printed out 2 samples. I picked them up. Put him on hold for a week while I got my mom and sister's blessing (oh the politics of being a bride...). He never got pushy with me when I didn't get back to him when I said I would. Put him on hold for another 2 weeks while I wrangled up all my addresses and he was able to print them on one side of the postcard. He even added my Save-the-date logo from the other side to the address side without me even asking - see, little things. I just picked them up today. They look fantastic and cost less than $1.50 a piece.

Thank goodness for Terri @ Mi-Te because she really helped by making the experience top notch! She came recommended by our graphic designer Erin Martin (god bless her creativity!) since she was a locally owned business. While this business was suggested, I still reached out to 4 other printing companies but Mi-Te seemed reasonable and fair especially when it came to timelines and expectations. While we did have a few small hiccups, Terri was great to work with. She went as far as letting us use her double sided tape gun with 2 extra rolls! The only location open is Glencoe. I hope Marissa and I get to work with Terri again!

Stacey is a magical paper fairy. Stationery and paper goods feel like an easy thing to overlook…read morewhen wedding planning, but you have no idea what Stacey can do. Steracle's services from Save the Date envelopes to our wedding invitation to all the day-of goods made a tremendous impact on our wedding, and we had numerous guests praising the attention to detail throughout our events. A large credit for that goes to Steracle. First off, we were trying to use Minted for our Save the Dates, and when they messed up all of our envelope addressing, Steracle was able to quickly turn around custom envelopes. That remained a constant theme throughout. The team was extremely responsive, turning around many many revisions very quickly as we proofread every single comma. Second was our wedding invites. We had this crazy idea to try and create a book for the invite, similar to special editions of famous books that evoked memories of fairy tales. It was just a vague concept, but Stacey and team took that idea and ran with it, creating the invitation of a lifetime. We actually cried when we saw it, and it will be forever placed on our bookshelves as a memento. Numerous guests sent personalized praise for these invites. A quote from one of them: "This is so refreshing in the days of e-invitations. Very very beautiful and elegant design. What a GORGEOUS wedding invitation!!!!!! The invitation reminds me a lot of the fairy tales I used to read growing up. The invitation brought back the romance of weddings. Nowadays people try to save time and (especially) money by sending e-invitations and those make me sad because there is something special about receiving an actual invitation. And this one blows all invitations out of the water. It sets the stage for a royal wedding." Needless to say, the bar had been raised for the rest of the paper goods, and somehow Stacey and Steracle met them. We had four separate events, and the team crafted unique feels for each event. They took certain themes and motifs and blended them across all events while maintaining the unique identity of each of them. Stacey kept coming up with brilliant ideas that made every element feel personalized, creative, and completely unique. Our wedding menu somehow had a 3D butterfly effect, and she took our love of fantasy books and created a completely custom fantasy-inspired map for the food stations at our reception. There were so many other brilliant design choices that we can go on and on about the quality and craft that Steracle illustrated. We want to keep all of these items as mementos, and we are probably going to be using our bar menus in our home going forward. It might be easy to overlook stationery as a crucial part of wedding planning, but trust us, if you go with Steracle, you will see the impact it can have and how it can elevate your entire wedding. Plus, you'll get to work with Stacey, and that's reason enough.

I also wanted a couple of chairs tightened, as they were loose. One guy came to my apartment, informed me that the table was from the 1970s, which I know for a fact was my great-grandmother's from 1918 or so. anyway. He didn't fix the leg correctly, as it was still loose. He told me to let it sit for a day. I did. When I looked at it the next day, it was still loose, and when I attempted to move it back into place, the entire leg broke off. I called them, and he came back out, did something to fix it, but it is still loose and not fixed correctly. They did work for me in the past, framing, rushing a chair, but this time I just ate the money. The chairs are ok now, but the leg, I guess, he just couldn't admit it was beyond his scope. I didn't call again. Id rather eat the money I spent on this than have this guy return.
