e.Danae Art

Danae is INCREDIBLE!! I talked to her about the wedding location so she could get a feel for the look we wanted for my daughters wedding. She sent the first proof and it was PERFECT!!. Didn't need any changes, she sent to her letterpress person and we received the wedding invitations and response cards 2 weeks later. They are of the highest quality workmanship, by both Danae and her printer. Absolutely beautiful. As you can tell we were just so pleased with the decision we made in going with Danae. We had shopped locally and never did find the one invite that really made an impact. Danae's invitation and reply card DID make an impact. Just can 't say enough wonderful things about the quality of work and the beautiful calligraphy that she performed.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I first contacted Elizabeth Hernandez (Danae) on March 29, 2011. Through email, we discussed my
requirements and she agreed to carry out said work as requested. She committed to complete my
letterpressed invitations by the last week of May, 2011. My wedding was on July 15, 2011.

On April 8, 2011 I paid her the requested deposit of $515.00 via PayPal.

After many emails and phone messages which were not answered, Danae notified me via email on June 3rd: “I
just got your message after being out all day; I will send you the proofs tonight or at the latest in the morning since I'm not sure if I can break away from a previous engagement tonight. I realize you are anxious for your invitations and I actually checked my schedule and booked your work/completion wrong, which is why I hadn't been rushing on this. I'm so sorry for that oversight”.

Invitations which were to be mailed to me in Texas by the last week of May were partially received on June 24,
three weeks before my wedding. Danae did not send enough envelopes and omitted ten invitations from the
list. The envelopes were not those contracted. They were not lined. The last invitations were received exactly
two weeks before my wedding.

On June 27, I was still trying to see if she could finish my order and it was very difficult to find Danae as she
would not answer emails or phone messages. When we finally received the by then prepaid invitations, the
paper which they were printed on was not the quality or thickness that we had agreed on. The envelopes
were of inferior quality to what was ordered, they were not lined and the glue on them caused them to stick
together so that some of the paper came off even before they were mailed out.

Half of my invitations which were supposed to be mailed to New York City by the last week of May were not
ready in time. Danae had to mail them to France (since the recipients were domiciled in France). They were
received in France on July 4th, eleven days before the wedding, which is unacceptable. In order to receive the
invitations, my now husband had to pay 130 US dollars of customs fees, which could have been avoided if
she would have completed it in the time period committed.

In summary, the invitations that I ordered arrived two weeks before my wedding (one month late), they
were not printed the way that I had requested (I ordered and paid for letterpress invitations and maps, she
simply had them printed), the paper quality of my invitations and of the printed map was inferior to what I
had requested and because she was so late in finishing everything, I was not able to have the envelopes hand
lettered (which was the original order). A friend of mine had previously ordered invitations from Danae so
I had an example of exactly the type of envelope, printing and paper quality that I wanted. Danae was very
clear on the product that I ordered and she did not properly finish my order.

I found Danae to be very unresponsive and unprofessional and I would not recommend working with her at
all as she does not meet deadlines, does not respond and is not consistent with the quality of her work. She
does not meet her commitment dates. I never received all of the invitations that I paid $1942.00 US dollars
for, but due to the fact that the last packet that I received from Danae arrived 10 days prior to my wedding,
there was nothing to be done at that point.

While planning a wedding, I decided that there were places I wanted to use calligraphy. I needed place cards and also cards for the candy station, and a poem at the guest registry. I went to the internet to find someone to do the work for me. I had three names written down and E.Danae was the first one that I called, and we soon met and the work had begun. The work was beautiful, almost unreal it was so breathtaking. I could'nt have asked for better service and a friendlier person.E.Danae was very professional and true to her word. I thought she was reasonable too.

E Danae Art & Calligraphy has been nothing more than a pleasure to work with. She is not only professional but exceptional & very flexible. However in my opinion she is (mostimportantly)caring. She truly cares about her clients needs and wants.

She is beyond talented and I would recommend her services to everyone I know. She is an amazing artist but more so a genuinely kind person.

I would and will certainly be using her services again in the future.

If you're in need of beautiful art work for your wedding I highly suggest using E Danae Art!

I found E Danae through the Etsy website, and I cannot believe how lucky I was to find her! Danae's work was beyond exquisite!
Danae created my entire wedding invitation suite (invitations, reception card, response card + envelope, and calligraphy on the envelopes) and they came out better than I could have imagined. She went above and beyond to help realize what I had envisioned for the invitations and even went out of her way to find a shade of grey envelopes that I wanted.
Everything from the quality of work to the quick communication was wonderful! I highly recommend her!

Danae has an amazing talent that was perfect for my wedding favors. She created some beautiful calligraphy for some handmade journals I made for my groomsmen as gifts. The work she did was exquisite and on top of that she is incredibly friendly and has a willingness to work with you. I highly recommend her!

Hole. E. Cow. Danae's work is amazing, there's just no other word for it. Her calligraphy has a beautiful, almost watercolor feel to it--I'm not sure if she does or not, but it seems like she uses one of those classic metal-tipped pens that she has to dip into an ink well.

On top of everything else, she's fast, she's communicative, and you just won't want to mail those gorgeous envelopes!! Do yourself a favor and have an extra one addressed to you as a keepsake.

I truly have never seen anything more perfectly beautiful than Danae's calligraphy work! I am completely ecstatic about the invitations and the envelopes! I saw a personalized invitation in an old etiquette book that I loved and Danae really brought them to life. Danae personalized each one of my invitations with the guest's names and they are impeccable. My fiance and my parents are equally in love with her beautiful work. Danae is kind, very responsive, so easy to work with, and very, very sweet. She is the kind of vendor you hope to work with during your wedding! The care she takes with her work is evident, all the way down to the beautiful packaging she uses to wrap your envelopes when she mails them back to you. I could not recommend Danae more highly.

Wow, Danae is simply an incredible calligrapher!! I couldn't be happier with the invitations she did for me.
The work was exactly as promised and better. Her service made me feel as if I were the most important person in the world and it is apparent in her calligraphy also with what careful attention she pays to each delicately hand crafted letter.
Thank you again Danae!

I happened to find E Danae in a Chicago Craigs List add, and was immediately impressed by the work on her website, compared to others I had looked at. We contracted her to do our wedding invitations, and they turned out perfect!! She used a beautiful gold ink that matched the invites perfectly. The turn around time was also very acceptable. We were so impressed, we later asked her to do a formal marriage license in calligraphy for us, which also turned out perfect. She is not the least expensive out there, but I think her prices are VERY reasonable given the quality of her work. She is also excellent with email communication. I would use her again, and definitly recommend her!

Working with Danae was an absolute pleasure. She made everything so easy and was always responsive. She had great ideas for us, too, about color and style. She worked with us to create a font that worked with out invitations, and she matched the style perfectly. We loved the work she did on everything-- place cards, escort cards, table number cards-- all beautiful!

Danae's work is short of AMAZING! She has that added personal touch that I was looking for, from the Invitations to the Seating chart everything was perfect and on time! I plan on using her in the future for everything I need addressed. I never dreamed of having my own Calligrapher and Artist. I would highly suggest if you need your Invitations addressed you call E Danae art!
