I am ecstatic about my invites! I just received them in the mail and they are beyond my imagination beautiful and perfectly suited for my wedding vibe. I sent Alexandra a piece of floral fabric that has been the inspiration for my entire wedding. She custom designed an invitation and RSVP card, based on a tiny little piece of swatch. She also color matched the ink to my bridesmaid dresses, based on a small piece of swatch.

On top of her creative skills, Alexandra is an absolute pleasure to work with - so patient and nice and professional. Since I live in LA and they are located in Northern California, we communicated 99% through email. Typically - things get lost in translation through e-mail - but our communication process went smoothly and I was so pleased with my invite design. I also asked Alexandra to design a template for my menu, programs, table numbers and thank you cards. I'm not letterpressing these items, however, she was so kind to extend her design services for a reasonable design fee.

I can't believe I have custom-designed letterpress invites - what a find! This would not be possible without The Aerialist Press as letterpress invites are typically for brides with bigger budgets. The quality and service are impeccable. If you want letterpress, The Aerialist Press is a must!

Catherine Cindy Leo is my wedding coordinator for my upcoming wedding in May. I hired her for a day of coordinator based on my budget. Regardless of your type of wedding from extravagant to simple affair, she will help you form a vision and help execute the wedding of your dreams. Although, I live in Los Angeles and am having the wedding in San Diego, Catherine makes it easy to get together and discuss ideas. We had our intro meeting in LA and from the moment we met I knew I had to hire her for her services. She is very personable, knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. She gained my trust and confidence instantly! Our second meeting was in San Diego, at the venue, and we had a walk through allowing her to see and plan everything as I showed her the ceremony, cocktail and reception areas. In addition to our in-person meetings, we have had countless correspondence through phone calls and emails.

Prior to hiring Catherine, I was overwhelmed with ideas on how I was going to make my wedding unique and personalized. I had a plethora of ideas but lacked a vision that would help make a cohesive theme. Upon my intro. meeting with Catherine, I gave her the ideas, and she edited it down to create a budget-friendly wedding that doesn’t look like I skimped on the personal details.

Even though I hired her as a day of coordinator, this package still allows for a lot of pre-planning help. She gave me a timeline and checks in with me frequently to make sure I am on schedule. Additionally, during our second meeting, we firmed up the details in regards to my décor and gave me a list of items to buy and mini-projects to do...all of which are incorporated into my timeline…and all of which are within my budget.

As day of coordinator, she will be on site the day of, managing the and directing the whole day including vendor management and the execution of the décor.

I will update my review after the wedding. Good luck in your wedding plans.

I give them 4 stars just for being a TACORI retailer and having the smarts to have a TACORI trunkshow. The DEJAUN salesperson was not very knowledgeable about TACORI rings. But the reason that I purchased from them is that they had a TACORI trunk show and the TACORI representative was ABSOLUTELY fantastic to work with. Definitely worth a visit when having vendor trunk show.
