Every Little Letter

ble. highly recommend!

the idea to life! She incorporated our passions and personalities into her work and made our special day all that more incredible as we are still getting compliments to this date. Her attention to detail and finishing touches really set her work apart and we are so glad we chose to work with Every Little Letter. Connect with Nicole and you won't regret it - truly amazing!

-service design studio. I was indecisive on my design theme and relied heavily on Nicole expertise to make this as stress free as possible, and she by far exceeded my expectations. She let me know up front on how her design studio works, which is important to understand since not all studios are the same. So if you’re looking for a luxurious design firm to deliver exceptional invitations, then I highly recommend Nicole.

the suite, something we could put in our house. And our suite was filled with stunning deep jewel tones, incredible flowers and Nicole created a custom crest with our initials. They are pieces I'll forever cherish. Thank you, Every Little Letter. Thank you, Nicole.

help us take a very rough concept of what we wanted and turn it into a spectacular design that would blow everyone away, and boy did it ever! Nicole was so pleasant to work with, and patient, as we worked through a couple designs to get the final masterpiece. We weren’t the only ones that were impressed, most of our guests provided wonderful feedback too!

st stressful part of wedding planning. In short: Nicole produces some gorgeous invitations, but there are many talented paper vendors, and I would strongly recommend going with someone else. Especially if you are conscious of your budget and hope for a collaborative design process. I don't know much about stationary or invitations--but I know what I like--and I was hoping to work with someone to set the tone for our wedding. The save-the-dates were gorgeous and the process was easy. However, when we came to agreeing on an invite suite, it became very dramatic. My specific issue is in the proofing process. The first draft she provides is done with a regular lead pencil. It was a sketch I could do on my own, and I am not even slightly artistic. I approved it because it looked fine--it was hard to tell--but my only ask was that the entire suite wasn't one specific color. The colored proof she ended up giving me was, unfortunately, very far off from the vibe of our wedding. It looked positively baroque, and I'm getting married on a farm in Mexico. Additionally, the entire suite was the one specific color I asked her to steer clear of. I wasn't upset at all. I wanted to make tweaks so our family and friends weren't confused when they received our invite. However, she became very upset when I simply told her that there may have been a miscommunication. I also told her I would happily pay ($80) for a phone call to discuss. She proceeded to send me 5 emails that night with screenshots from my agreement to an entirely non-descript, pencil-sketched proof with zero color or detail. She kept on saying over and over again that I agreed to the sketch. However, she failed to recognize that the sketch is completely unhelpful to inform what the suite will look like with color and detail. Prior to my first phone call with Nicole, I was never upset or angry about the proofs I received, nor did I object to the additional costs which would surely accompany my requested edits. I was prepared to have a collaborative conversation in which I requested an edit, and if she was willing to accommodate the edit, it would cost extra. I was very unprepared to be met with Nicole's hostility. On the phone, Nicole was angry that my email caused her stress, regardless of the fact that it thanked her for her work and merely requested a phone call, which I was happy to pay for. She was defensive and quick to blame me for any dissatisfaction. In the end, I paid $1,000 more than quoted for her edits fees and I received the invite I conceded to--not the invite I love. Given her tendency to publicly and passive-aggressively display her frustrations with clients via Instagram, perhaps I should have known better. However, I could have never anticipated that my request would be so triggering. I was merely seeking to tailor our wedding invitation to our personal aesthetic and that which we have planned for our wedding. That is why we decided to do a custom invitation suite. Again, spare yourself the stress. I would highly recommend choosing someone else.

ade the whole process easy and enjoyable. People raved about our invites and the day of details were so special. One glimpse at Nicole’s work on social media and it’s clear why people love her. Nicole is a true artist and I’m so glad we were able to work together. Thanks for everything, Nicole!

ier! Nicole took my vision, added her artistic talent and delivered a result so perfect, it surpassed expectations. I’m so grateful for my experience and keepsake from my favorite day :)

as patient and so kind with my many, many questions. If you want every detail of your wedding to be perfect, start here!

tly pushing the envelope with new and exciting things to try. If you want your wedding paper elements to stand-out you splurge for custom and hire a true artist like Nicole.

lost money from this experience. This was hard earned money that was taken from me and my Fiance. Ultimately, Nicole offered to return $2,000 of our $2,750.62 deposit if my fiancé would sign a ridiculous agreement stating that my fiancé could not speak to family or friends, or write reviews about our awful experience with her. The agreement stated that my Fiancé would be charged $10,000 per each time she would speak about this experience with this vendor. Of course, my fiancé would never sign this type of agreement. I would never recommend this vendor to anyone.

ary. Nicole offered to give me back $2,000 if I signed a “Mutual Release and settlement Agreement” stating that I won't write reviews about this horrible experience or talk to friends or family about it. For each time I would potentially speak about this awful experience, Nicole would demand $10,000! Of course I would never sign such an agreement! In my opinion, this was not an equitable solution to getting my deposit back. The first red flag I experienced was when Nicole declined to send me stationary samples before hiring her. This was essential so I could make an informed decision if I wished to hire her based on her work. Every other stationer I interviewed offered to send me samples before being hired so that I could have a visual and tangible sense of the work. Nevertheless, I took a leap of faith and hired Nicole because another one of my vendors recommended her. I had one 45 minute design call with her after which she sent me some samples. Upon review, I felt the fonts were difficult to read and therefore I emailed Nicole asking if I could select the fonts for my initiations. She replied with “I don’t have clients pick fonts”. Frankly, I was taken aback and surprised to see that I would not have a say in the fonts for my wedding stationary. I thought I was paying for custom stationary, designed with my preferences. Nicole also stated: “Client selection of fonts, layouts and overall design goes against the very essence of a custom suite.” To which I replied: “I disagree that the client's selection of fonts and input on design goes against what a custom suite is-- the client's unique preferences makes it custom.” At that point, given the second red flag, I decided this was not a good fit for me. I emailed Nicole asking if I could receive a refund of my $2,750.62 deposit and go our separate ways due to our differences. I offered to pay her for the 45 min design call. She declined and said the deposit was non-refundable. Given her refusal, I then respectfully asked her, to use my deposit for the “Save- the Date cards”. I could not afford to lose nearly $ 3,000. She refused again. At that point, she stated that she was not willing to rewrite the scope of the signed contract or return my deposit. One would think, the focus should always be on the bride’s preferences and requests, especially when you pay a substantial amount of money. One would also think that the bride would be accommodated as the paying customer. This was definitely not the case with Nicole. The whole experience with Nicole has been absolutely horrible. Fortunately, I just hired an excellent custom Stationer who sent me samples before hiring her. The stationer is accommodating of my preferences and incredible to work with. I definitely cannot recommend the services of Nicole and her company, Every Little Letter.

tom, and thank goodness. If have no background in art, like me, trust the professionals to do what they do. Nicole can take your vision and no matter how ridiculous it sounds and turn it into something beautiful, cohesive and on brand. I only regret not doing more with her. Getting the compliments back from guests who are even more excited for your day that is months away is alone worth it. I have my save the date and invite framed and smile every time I walk by and see it.

f what I had in mind (in advance) so she can use it for inspiration and they couldn't have been more perfect. You can tell that she spends a lot of time getting to know her brides and hearing them out because it shows in her designs. Hire Every Little Letter for your wedding and you can thank me later.

mend her to a friend.

n a bit burned by working with some other vendors previously, so had many questions for her and was grateful for her patience in walking me through the process. Retrospectively, I wish I had just trusted her upfront, because she went out of her way to be helpful and her prices are beyond reasonable given the quality of the work she delivers. She really listened to what we were asking for and then went above and beyond to bring it to life. We're so grateful to Nicole for her part in our wedding in Oxfordshire -- she managed the timings with ease and was even able to accommodate a few last-minute requests for day-of paper. I could not recommend her more!

our day. Once I was engaged, I reached out to Nicole and honestly it was one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding. I knew that our invitations would set the tone for our wedding and it was so important to me to work with someone who understood our vision and could guide us. From the very beginning, Nicole helped us through the entire process. She gave us names of people in the wedding industry to help us, vendors she recommended, and people she had worked with before. Truthfully, we was our unofficial wedding planner! Every one we had the good fortune of working with was the dream team! Nicole is quick to respond, hard working, and creative. She worked with us in person for our design day and answered any and all of our questions. Everything was so personal and every detail was perfect! We would highly recommend Nicole to anyone planning a wedding or looking for stellar paper and design for any event! I can’t wait to work with Nicole again! (I got wedding announcements with her a few months after!!! A true dream and in keeping with our wedding/invitation suite) I’m looking for any excuse to create and design with her again!

day-of pieces since we were so in love with our suite and needed the same look to be carried throughout the day.

that I’ll treasure for life! Upon receiving save the dates and the the formal invites, family and friends would send me messages saying that it was the most beautiful thing that had ever hit their mailbox!

exceeded that of anything we expected. Nicole was responsive to our ideas and encouraging about the full process. We so appreciate her personal touch and time. Nicole brought our vision to life, and we never could have imagined such a beautiful wedding sweet! Everything is above and beyond what we paid for and completely unique to us. Our guests were blown away, and we still receive compliments to this day. We can't recommend her work enough!

tion to detail. When you see the pieces in person, you can see the love that she puts in. We are so pleased with the entire process of working with Nicole at Every Little Letter, thank you so much for everything!

ork with someone who understood our vision. Nicole was that person. She ended up not only doing our invites but also all of our day of pieces. From the very beginning, Nicole helped us through the entire process, responded quickly to any and all of our questions, and even worked with our family to make our vision come to life. Everything turned out better than I imagined! I honestly couldn't thank her enough. We would highly recommend Nicole to anyone planning a wedding or looking for stellar paper and design for any event!

rall design aesthetic. She promptly responded to our initial inquiry and communication throughout remained open and timely. She truly understood our vision and brought it to life. We’ll certainly be hiring her when we have our next paper need, hopefully baby announcements!

iration to create a beautiful, cohesive and timeless look. The quality of the pieces went noticed by every guest. She has amazing customer service, and is always quick to respond. We have been more than pleased with our experience, no detail is left untouched.

date, we ended up hiring her for the entire event - menus, place cards, map, and thank you cards. Our guests and family admired the quality and we got many compliments on the detail and aesthetic. Nicole is a genuine creative who makes each client feel unique and I never felt like she was offering cookie cutter ideas; every idea she brought forward was unique and captured the essence of our wedding and relationship. I highly recommend Nicole and will be sending our newly engaged friends her way!

h. Looking back, one of the biggest issues in my opinion was that Nicole did not fully or clearly disclose her terms and conditions at the beginning of the creative process. She does not provide a contract requiring the customer's acknowledgement or signature, yet frequently made certain requests that I was not made aware of when we started our relationship. The other major issue in my opinion was that I, as the bride (and more importantly a paying client), did not feel that I could freely express my opinion or make decisions for my suite based on my own taste. In one of the communications where I had requested to proceed with a certain style of my choosing, she responded "its obvious you don’t trust what I’m suggesting so I’ll just proceed with what you’re asking." In another interaction, I felt that she was quick to lose patience over a minor question I had about the design proof (re: sizing of font on the proof). This ended poorly after a very unprofessional communication over text due to what I felt was a lack of patience and inability to accept feedback on Nicole's part. Working in a very sensitive field myself as a physician and knowing how to communicate properly with my patients, I found it appalling how Nicole conducted herself in this interaction. When I finally called her over the phone to clear up the confusion, she was in tears, accusing me of taking time away that she could be spending with her daughter instead of making the requested edits on my suite and saying that she didn't have to continue working on my suite if she didn't want to (after I had paid her the full $2000+ for my suite). That same evening, I got a shipping notification that my invitations had been shipped. For that week, I lived in terror that I was going to receive unfinished invitations. While luckily she did send them completed, this is something that no bride should ever have to worry about. On top of all of this, just two days before my wedding day, she sends an email charging us a $150 fee for using the crest logo she created for us on our guest seating chart. She verbally communicated in the very beginning of our relationship that anything she herself could not create for us was OK for another vendor to take on. This would include the glass acrylic seating chart we had our rentals vendor create using the image of our crest- a crest that we paid for to have created for our invitation suite. This brings me back to the point mentioned earlier that you should not impose fees and policies on the fly without having your clients sign an agreement. In fear of her causing a bigger headache on our wedding day and causing issues for our other vendors, we ended up making the payment to get her out of our hair. I cannot think of anything worse than imposing unexpected fees and threatening brides just a few days before their wedding day. No bride should have to deal with the frustration, fear, and negativity that I went through with this vendor and because of this, I would not recommend this to vendor to anyone.

e wanted to “dm” Nicole! We reached out and within an hour she had responded with next steps about her process and how to move forward. From there, we had a design call and the rest was history. We gave Nicole a few ideas, mostly color and venue based, and she took over from there. She brought our vision to life and actually kept us organized and on track during the entire engagement. It’s amazing how the wedding planning - and the day itself - is dictated by the paper. So our advice to friends getting engaged is to invest in your paper and hire someone who has the big picture in mind. Nicole and Every Little Letter provided these traits and more and we were lucky to work with her. We highly recommend Every Little Letter and wish you well in your wedding planning process!

il exceeded every expectation I had. Each aspect of the collaboration was simple and easy. The pricing was fair and she made it very clear when extra charges would be implemented. The invites were a work of art.

r and we are so thankful. With a shorter timeline, Nicole was still able to provide us with the perfect invitation suite for us. She truly cares and wants to create pieces that are representative of the couple, while maintaining her (incredible) style. Nicole was the most responsive of all our vendors, her average email reply time was probably only a couple of hours!!! We clearly needed someone who would push us to maintain timelines, which she was great at doing (and so tactfully). While I wish we did not put her in that situation, Nicole still produced just what we needed. I absolutely recommend Nicole from Every Little Letter!!!

nably priced - she is so talented and her attention to detail and care for her clients is obvious. She spent so many hours making sure everything was perfect on our suite - from the vintage postage that she sourced herself to the silk ribbon that tied our suite together. We had guests calling us to let us know how much they loved our invitation suite and we've since referred her to many of our newly engaged friends. I don't think we could have found a more talented calligrapher and artist to make our invitation suite dreams come true. Thank you, Nicole!

reativity, Nicole offered a gorgeous invitation suite and in addition to her talent, she is incredible responsive and organized. My biggest regret with her is that we did not find her until after we had sent out our STDs with another vendor. If you are a bride who prioritizes a beautiful paper suite for your wedding, then look no further. Nicole had the brilliant idea to print a vintage map of my hometown on a velvet envelope liner – a detail I’d never seen before and got several compliments on – and when I told her I wanted to incorporate the garden theme into my escort cards, she hand printed 175 seed envelopes which I can only imagine took HOURS of work. Her work was nothing short of incredible. Nicole is a one-woman shop. She puts her heart and soul, and hours and hours of tedious labor into each project she does. I find it interesting to see negative reviews on this site; I can only image that comes from brides who might have had a price-quality expectations disconnect. As with every other vendor in the wedding planning process, paper is no exception in that you get what you pay for. So, if a bespoke paper suite is a priority of yours, then realize that there is a premium associated with that level of service. That said, in my experience Nicole was very mindful and communicative of budget from the start, and was very straightforward about the pricing levels of different options, which I appreciated!

which led to various issues with her. For instance, she did not clearly disclose her terms and conditions at the beginning of the process. Nicole offered "Free Assembly" in her invoices (which sounded great!) and then once I explained my invites would involve addresses in different countries, she refused to assemble the invites and her solution was to ship me all the pieces required for assembly. I would have understood if she clearly explained the definition of "Free Assembly" but that was never communicated to me, therefore, creating more work and stress on my end. Overall, the major issue with Nicole was how petty and passive aggressive she was when handling the problems that came up while working together. Every bride understands how stressful wedding planning can be and the last thing you need is for someone you are paying to add that stress. This is exactly what Nicole did; she made me feel like I could not express my opinions and never acknowledged that some of these issues were due to her miscommunication and lack of patience. I do not want any future bride to experience the frustration and negativity I went through, so please do not encourage her unprofessionalism by giving her more business.

d any question I asked in a very timely manner (often within 30 mins/hour max!), was so very easy to work with and costs was what I believe to be quite reasonable IMO for all original work and scope of work. The invites were completed way before our deadline and are simply stunning. I could not be more pleased with them and the experience as a whole working with her. I absolutely recommend her she’s fabulous and her work, as I stated, is beautiful. Very happy customer and have recommended her to friends recently engaged. Plan to work with her for any additional wedding items or any special items we need in the future.

d turnaround time for the completed envelopes was exceptional. I would highly recommend her for any of your calligraphy needs.

it turned out the pricing was not communicated full. Only AFTER I sent her the deposit did she inform me that the calligraphy style I liked, formal, which I had expressly stated in my initial inquiry, and sent screenshots of, cost more than she originally quoted to me. While this confused me, the invoice *did* say pricing was subject to change at any time. So I told her I was confused, and asked for a pricing breakdown so I would understand what the pricing range was and what my options were. This (along with other questions I asked, such as, what is the process, how do we pick a specific style, and do you provide sample kits) prompted her to respond saying it was "overwhelming and already far too much work than it's worth for 100 envelopes" and she decided my business wasn't worth it. She refunded me my deposit, except for the fee amount charged to her through PayPal since she did not receive a full deposit amount. I guess I should say that I am just lucky she refunded my money at all, since she told me several times that deposits are non-refundable so I should be happy she is giving it to me. If you want to work with this vendor, I suggest asking a lot of questions about pricing to ensure you understand exactly how much the services you are looking for cost. I'm glad this happened early in the process and I still have time to find a calligrapher who will value my business. I would not recommend working with this vendor for any reason. It is true we went back and forth about the calligraphy via email several times. I believe it is everyone's responsibility to do their due diligence and ask questions about the services they are receiving, and I was still feeling confused about the process. I have never hired a calligrapher before and wanted to make sure I understood all my options and what the pricing included. I know calligraphy is just one small simple thing, but I don't appreciate feeling like a nuisance to the vendor that I am paying money to.

wedding vendor can have. Not to mention, she had proofs of designs and the finished products to me quickly too, which were obviously all incredibly beautiful. She has incredibly fair pricing even though she is worth so much more than she charges! I had her do my wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, programs, day of signs, welcome bag tags, and had I found her before I made my save the dates, I would've had her do those too! Even when I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, she was able to create something so beautiful that exceeded everything I had imagined. Her designs are so good and such high quality that I just couldn't part with some stuff after the wedding, so I hung some of my day of signs on the walls of my house! Nicole is more than my wedding vendor to me--she is a friend, and I truly cannot recommend her enough!
