I hired Laela to do some place cards for my wedding and they turned out lovely! Photo of them at my wedding. Her price was reasonable and turn around time was quick! I would highly recommend her for any wedding or non-wedding work !

She’s a true Gem !! One of the Best vendors I used for my wedding. Her professionalism is Top notch. I had to reach out to her several times and each time she responded quickly and she’s honest with her timeframe when the project will be completed. Her honesty I appreciated the most. She works well under pressure I needed this in a rush and I’m so happy I went with her. Also, great value for the quality of work. I will definitely use her again! She’s the Best! Thank you Laela for Everything.

Laela did an amazing job on my real magnolia leaves place cards for my wedding. This detail at my wedding was important to me and definitely elevated the look. Laela was punctual meeting with me and sent a sample of how the leaves would look. She took her time and it showed as we had no misspellings with any of our guest names and they were not easy.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!!! seriously this is by far the worst work of calligraphy that I have ever encountered. Not only did she completely screw up 10 envelopes, she didn’t check her work!! How does someone who does this for a living not check her work. She left out the apartment number on 6 of the return envelopes and instead of writing a “y” she wrote a “u” !! Better yet because of these mistakes WE had to pay for new envelopes to be shipped back to her to be fixed. When we received the new envelopes they were sloppy, and messy and smudged.... seriously it looks like a 2 year old did them. And when we emailed her, she blamed us for the mistakes because of lack of communication!! So not true- we emailed her every couple days to see the progress of them, and her response was she had not gotten to them yet.... The worse part is, we have no other option but to use them for our wedding because this “professional” used all of our spares... whatever you do, don’t use this company. Spend the extra money and take it to someone who truly knows what they are doing.
