Reviews for jill.cate design & letterpress




Jill Cate Design rocks! From my first experience with wedding announcements to baby announcements, moving cards, holiday cards and the like, Jill's work has been consistently wonderful. Her end product always exceeds my expectations, which are usually high to begin with. One of Jill's best talents is her ability to take your vision for what you want,even if it's a bit cloudy and turn it into a masterpiece. Like the other reviewers have said, each time I send out one of Jill's creations, I get literally dozens of calls/e-mails saying how beautiful it is and wanting to know who the designer was.




Jill did our Wedding Invitations and they could not have been more beautiful! We got so many compliments about them! Jill was very flexible with her schedule in order to meet with us, and immediately understood what we were wanting from our invitations. The letterpress, the colors, the beautiful wrap of each invite, we were so so pleased! There is so much that goes into planning a wedding, Jill made this part of the process so easy for us. We have used her since our Wedding for Holiday cards, my Mom's 60th, and soon to be Baby Announcements! You will be so happy to have used her, she's lovely and does amazing work.




I think that I had gone through every wedding stationery book in the greater LA area looking for the perfect wedding stationery. Just as I was about to give up and go with something generic, a recently married friend of mine recommended that I contact Jill. I hadn't really even considered custom invites, especially letterpress custom invites, because I thought they would be too expensive. I was pleasantly surprised after speaking with Jill.
Jill was so sweet, very accommodating and surprisingly affordable! She gave us a great price, even lower than some of the generic invites I had looked at in the books. Jill paid great attention to all the details we wanted to include, was super patient as I asked her to go though several drafts and turned out a beautiful product. She even sent us our letterpress plates as a keepsake after the printing!
I am looking forward to going back to Jill when the time comes for baby announcements. If you are in the LA area you will not find a more affordable, more professional, custom printer. Trust me, I did the research.




Our wedding announcements were stylish, classy, and altogether fabulous. Not only was Jill's creativity superb, her professional attitude, attention to detail, and delightful personality made her the "favorite" vendor for our wedding. She's a bit invitation clairvoyant...she knows what you want your product to look like....long before you do...and it's far better than your imagination! Her work is superb.




We LOVED the invitations jillcate designed for our wedding! She has a superb aesthetic sense, impeccable taste and significantly, *original ideas* (something hard to come by amidst the zillions of vendors.) . Even my fiance--who is a total art snob--raves about the invitations. We both feel they were a perfect representation of the desired "mood" and "feel" of our wedding. And, she was also wonderful to work with--so nice, so professional and endlessly patient! Highly recommended!

Of all the elements for my wedding, my invitations were my favorite. I still look at them and sigh. Jillcate was able to translate my abstract descriptions of the desired "mood" & "feeling" into a beautiful and simple design. We LOVED our invitations. Moreover, she was *wonderful* to work with--so talented, and really really really nice.

Jill Cate was fabulous to work with. She was so creative in her beautiful designs and helpful in making suggestions on the direction we should go with our invitations. She went above and beyond the call of duty with her service. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to wow their guests with their invitations and set the mood for their event from the very beginning. Thanks Jill!

Jill did the letterpressing for our invitations and was great. Very easy to work with and willing to accommodate a very specific timeline we had. Our invites were very different and were done on unusual paper, but she was willing to work with us on it. Great, quality work and reasonably priced.




jill did a fabulous letterpressing job for our invitations. we used a very different type and more challenging style of paper which jill handled without issue. she also was able to work around our very specific timeline. she communicates well and is reasonably priced for the high quality. definitely recommend.

I was referred to Jill and was so happy to have had her do my wedding invitations. When we met, I immediately knew that she was the person for the job. She has such a nice way about her, and after talking about what my husband and I wanted from our invites, understood what we wanted and made great suggestions.
She does some beautiful classically designed invitations, but my husband and I wanted something more non-traditional and they could not have been more beautiful. She worked with us on the design, color palette, and beautiful presentation of them. Her letterpress is so beautifully done, and I have continued to use her for all of our family events. You will be lucky to have stumbled upon her!

Bar none the best in the business. The invitations were absolutely stunning. Jill picked the perfect everything--words, colors, pictures, layout, paper. This woman is an extraordinary artist! Very affordable as well. Beyond this, Jill is a joy to work with and a true professional. -DK, Bend, Oregon




We were absolutely thrilled with the way our invitations turned out. Jill paid attention to the most minute details and created an elegant, original yet utterly warm and personal invite for our guests. Almost every single person who received one of our invitations commented on how beautiful they were. It immediately set the tone for our amazing wedding. Thanks Jill!

Jill.Cate did my wedding Save The Dates and they turned out great! She was so creative with the copy and the layout of the piece, I was really impressed!




Jill Cate design is amazing! I have worked with Jill for years now and her work is fantastic- her designs are unique and hip without being trendy, fresh and young but still classic. And she couldnt' be easier to work with! She will listen carefully to your ideas or she will give you plenty of amazing options if you need a little help in that department (like me!). I get dozens of phone calls and emails from friends and family whenever I send out an invitation or Christmas card or birth announcement from Jill Cate designs- they simply have to know where I got them!
I'm not sending you all of these because it would get annoying but honestly it is CONSTANT-- the emails and phone calls we are getting about our invites. Everyone loves them!!! i had to send this one because this is from my not-so-easily-impressed connecticut friend :
Hello,
We received the most fabulous wedding invitation in the mail yesterday!! It is my favorite invitation that I have ever received - seriously. It made me so excited for your wedding -- if the invitation is any indication of what the wedding will be like, I think it's going to be a tremendous party!
"Jill, jill, jill. Invitations is my new favorite wedding task. Decision making has never been so easy."
Our invitations are beeeeauuutiful! Perfect and gorgeous. Thank you so much! Another satisfied customer....
The cards arrived and they turned out beautiful! You did a magnificent job putting it all together. I am excited to address each one of them and I'll be thinking of you as you have shared your amazing gift of design and words with our family. Thank-you for making this process so fun, personal, and painless. Let's cross our fingers and hope we get a chance to meet soon :)
They're perfect! I'm over the moon. You make this so EASY.
Everything is perfect! I am so happy with how these turned out...I almost cried! It was just a very long path of sorting through invitation books and knowing somehow there was something perfect out there. And, you have created it! The work you did is more beautiful than I ever even dreamed it could be.
Thank you so much for paying close attention to all my little details. Thanks for making tons of changes (even the neurotic ones). Thanks for making the invitations to the biggest event in our lives the most amazing invitations we have ever seen!
I just wanted you to know that at least a dozen people have called to say they love the invite.
Jill does amazing work!! She did our letterpress business cards and every card I hand out gets compliments. So the real compliment is to Jill's talent and vision. We couldn't recommend her more highly.
Jill Cate did our wedding invitations, and can I just say that they were beautiful! Her designs were sophisticated and classic, and our guests were SO impressed by them. Jill Cate is not your average company. She met with me and listened to all my wants and needs and incorporated them into her design. She exceeded our expectations, and I heartily recommend her services to anyone!
