  We had Rachel design our save the dates, invitations, escort cards, and programs. She did an amazing job on all of them. The stationary you choose truly sets the tone for your wedding and with Rachel, everything was beautiful and classy. She nailed the style and formality we were looking for. She has an excellent attention to detail and it was the little touches in ribbon, color, and script that really set our invitations apart. She was so quick to communicate with us and was extremely flexible with pickup. I got so many compliments about how beautiful our invitations were and some of my friends (who got married a few weeks before we did) said they wish they had used Miss Merkle Design for their invitations. The save-the-date cards and/or the invitations are what make the first impression to your guests - make sure you make the best impression possible!

  Rachel is amazing to work with. We told her we liked copper, and from there she designed our invitations, place cards, escort cards, and thank-you cards to be elegant and match the season with creams, oranges, and coppers. We especially love her recommendations on the details--fonts, calligraphy, and edge painting to match. She was responsive and helpful, and we couldn't have chosen a better person to design these elements for our big day. Thank you Rachel!

  Miss Merkle is the absolute best!! She designed pretty much any piece of paper for our wedding: invitations, programs, escort cards, day of signage, etc. Miss Merkle was an absolute dream to work with and is super talented. She really helped us hone our vision for what we wanted and everything came out perfectly. The turn around time was really quick too!

  Rachel of Miss Merkle Designs did a wonderful and beautiful job creating many pieces for our wedding day signage, including our wedding program, menu cards/thank you guest note cards, Instagram signs and created other various day- of designs to make our event seamless and cohesive from the wedding ceremony transitioning to on-site.
  
  Rachel even provided the .jpgs of certain designs I wanted pulled out so that I could frame, like our designed monogram with a wreath around it. She also worked very will with other vendors like our calligrapher and even photographer on various projects. She was made quick edits/changes that I needed and made everything perfect! The paper quality and printer she uses is high quality too!
  
  I also had Rachel work on a gift for my husband after our wedding that incorporated the best man speech with design elements from our wedding that kept everything cohesive from the wedding.

  It was such a pleasure working with Rachel Merkle, from Miss Merkle Design. She incorporated our ideas and made it even better. She was able to work quickly and efficiently, and when changes happened there was never a problem to get it done. I could not say enough about how great it was working with Rachel.

  Rachel, at Miss Merkle Design, is amazing to work with and knew how to make my and my husband's vision come true. She did all the paper products for my wedding. This included: Invitations, Programs, Signage, Place Cards, and a few other details that only someone like Rachel can help you realize make all the difference (like the custom bookmarks with our wedding slogan that were placed inside every program)! When we first sat down to work on a design I had a very hard time articulating what I was looking for, but Rachel was able to take what I said and turn it into more than I could have ever imagined. Our invites were very unique to my husband and me as a couple, which would have never been possible had we gone anywhere else. Her artistic talent is apparent from the first time you meet her, and her professionalism and business acumen are just a few of the many things that makes her the best vendor to work with. I would recommend her to anyone for design work relating to any sort of special event, she is amazing!

  My husband and I absolutely loved working with Rachel Merkle of Miss Merkle Design. She prepared our invitations and all of our day of signage (escort cards, place cards, signs, table numbers, etc.). Rachel met with us a few times and quickly answered my emails. She brought lots of examples of invitations, signs, and papers for us to look at, and she seemed to know what we'd love more quickly than we did! Her suggestions were thoughtful and fit right in with the ideas we'd described. After our meeting, Rachel provided simple forms to enter our information and that of our guests and offered us a couple of digital proofs so we could see the effect of different fonts on our invites. The work was all done quickly, and the final pieces were presented beautifully. I'd recommend Miss Merkle design without hesitation!

  In a word, Rachel Merkle is exceptional. She was introduced by our florist with whom she has a close collaborative relationship (see Middleburg Events Studio). If you're looking for unique and creative paper products, attention to detail, personal service, and value, look no further.
  Our initial plan was to utilize a standard retailer thinking that a boutique firm like Rachel's might be too expensive. But we were delighted to learn that for relatively similar designs, Rachel's products were similarly priced. The difference was our ability to brainstorm personally with Rachel on ideas, to seamlessly incorporate our ideas with hers, and to effectively collaborate and coordinate with our other vendors to provide a unifying theme for the day. For this reason, we believe she provides exceptional value.
  We used Rachel for invitations and day-of paper products, including menus, signage, and escort cards. She was punctual, communicative, creative, and professional. She worked extremely well with our other vendors. Our guests absolutely loved the attention to detail, and it would not have been possible without her. We give her our highest recommendation!

  We worked with Rachel from Miss Merkle Designs for our day-of paper (programs, menus, signage, escort cards, etc). I worked with a different vendor for our invitations and so badly WISH I had found Rachel earlier so I could've worked with her from the beginning on everything! Rachel is first class and incredibly talented! I would give her more than 5 stars if I could :)
  Quality of Service (5/5): From our first consultation, I knew Rachel would be excellent to work with. She listened to my vision and offered excellent suggestions/guidance. She was very receptive to my ideas and illustrated how all her designs are custom fit for each bride/wedding. She brought samples of her work and paper swatches so we could visually talk through the process. She delivered a quality product on time and perfectly packaged (even I lieu of having her 1st baby more than a month early!) :)
  Responsiveness (5/5): Rachel was quick to respond to emails with questions, advice, etc. She was also proactive on following-up, keeping even the most organized bride on track when it comes to paper! During the editing/proofing process, she was very responsive as well so we didn't effect our timeline.
  Professionalism (5/5): Rachel was always very professional and approachable. It is obvious that she is an expert in her field, but makes you feel like a partner/friend rather than just another client.
  Value (5/5): Worth every penny! Every bride should work with someone like Rachel. In my opinion, its a much better investment than working with a larger vendor (trust me, I learned from a bad experience with my invitations). The quality of Rachel's work and the personalized experience alone should win you over. She also has unique papers to choose from and the ability to customize literally anything (font, logos/monograms, placement, etc).
  Flexibility (5/5): Rachel was willing to make changes as necessary and get the job done even after giving birth to her 1st child. Simply amazing!!!!!!!!

  If you want to wow and literally take every guest's breath away as they open your wedding invitation, Miss Merkle Design is your vendor. Even before I sat down to write this review I walked into my living room to admire the frame that holds our wedding invitation and instantly felt overwhelmed with happiness. It is truly incredible. My mom and I came to Rachel with extremely high expectations and pretty much gave her two guidelines: that everything be white and that it be the most exquisite invitation either of us had ever seen. She blew both out of the water. Our main card was very, very thick with multiple layers of white textures and sheens that created the most beautiful and elegant invitation that was both classic and unique. Phenomenal. Rachel took charge of everything paper for our wedding, all of which was wonderful. She worked very closely with Meant To Be Calligraphy (another AMAZING vendor) to coordinate the letterpress for our invitations, Catholic programs, menus, etc. and we could not have been happier. I cannot give her two bigger thumbs up for all of her creativity and hard work and recommend her with all of my heart.

  For my daughter's wedding, Miss Merkle Designs provided our custom letterpress invitation suites, letterpress programs, letterpress menus, letterpress place setting thank you cards, letterpress rehearsal dinner invitations. She came highly recommended by our wedding planner and we knew right away she was the perfect choice for us and our vision of something all our own! We LOVE letterpress and Miss Merkle made our wedding papery dreams come true!! She shared our passion for details and provided exciting ideas and options. We worked extensively with her over many months to create our one of a kind pieces for this once in a lifetime event. We very much enjoyed our time designing with Rachel and could not have been happier with the outcome of each unique piece! My favorite special feature (that guests were blown away by) was the way she worked with our calligrapher to use our same wedding hand calligraphy and have it pressed into each of our pieces - in order to perfectly coordinate with our envelope addressing and escort cards.....WOW! Rachel was so pleasant to work with, that I miss her now that the wedding is over! We will forever be grateful and treasure her designs and the beauty they added to our wedding!!!

  I can't say enough good things about Rachel. She is just so talented and wonderful to work with. I had an idea of what I wanted but I hard a very hard time communicating and even envisioning it! She took my ideas and just ran with it. Her end product could not have been more perfect. On top of her amazing design skills, she is just an amazing person. She is so friendly and accommodating and really makes sure that her brides are happy. She is also very responsive and on-top of emails, which I really appreciated! She was by far my favorite vendor to work with throughout my wedding process and that's saying a lot since I really loved all my vendors!

  Of all the vendors we had at our wedding Miss Merkle Design was my favorite to work with! She created a beautiful, unique brand for our wedding that helped make our day extra special. We received so many compliments on our paper products that I can't recommend her enough!

  I can't say enough about how talented Rachel is! Rachel designed the invitations, save-the-date cards, menus, programs, table cards, gift tags and more for my daughter's April wedding. She took our ideas and created an inspired motif which was both elegant and unique. Rachel remained ever unflappable with our frequent tweaks and was an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommend!

  I used Rachel for my programs, escort cards, and dessert cards. My planner reached out to her with just about 2 weeks or so to go before the wedding and Rachel totally delivered in the tight timeline. She was professional, open to feedback, and did a beautiful job. She came up with a unique idea for the programs and I loved how they turned out!
  
  Highly recommend her! Only con is that she lives in Leesburg which is a bit of a drive if you don't have someone to pick up the products from her.

  Rachel's vivid imagination was essential to our our special day. Her paper products were the common thread that tied our whole event together. Rachel helped us choose custom colors and fonts and even designed us a custom logo, which we now have as a stamp to use the rest of our lives! The invitations, the placecards for dinner, the canvas hanging above our dessert bar--all of them were designed with similar, but distinct qualities that gave our whole event a sense of organized elegance. Rachel was wonderfully flexible with scheduling times to meet. And our meetings were always a good balance of professional, serious planning, and off-the-cuff, informal fun. You have to like your vendor as a person to like them as a professional--and Rachel is easy to like on both accounts. We gave Rachel our budget, and she gave us a range of options so we could maximize on what was most important to us. She was also very responsive to our whims as the day approached. It's difficult to imagine our wedding without Rachel because her creativity touched every part of our day.

  I could not say enough great things about working with Rachel. For our wedding last fall Rachel created our programs, escort cards, menus and additional signage. Her work was gorgeous and we received endless compliments on everything. Rachel hand delivered all of the finished items to my home and then made a second trip to get additional items to our wedding planner just to make things easier on me the week of our wedding. She was easy to work with, responsive, flexible and was not phased by any of my last minute additions! Highly recommend!

  Incredible! That describes my daughter's wedding stationary. From invitation ensemble to day-of signage, every piece was professionally prepared and perfectly coordinated. Rachel is a gifted designer and a joy to work with. My daughter and I could not have been happier with the results! She listens well, captures the vision and is willing to tweak! She provides wonderful guidance and advice to produce a personalized final product. No cookie-cutter designs here!

  Rachel designed invitations for my daughters wedding. My daughter wanted a rustic, southern wedding with a Mississippi feel to reflect where she and her husband met. Rachel came up with a beautiful design that was exactly what we were looking for. The print was in orange and purple, the wedding colors, and there was a burlap strip across the top with a string that gave it a complete look. People were calling us when they received the invitation because they had never seen anything like it and they LOVED it! We worked with Rachel by phone and internet so she can design for anyone, anywhere. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone who wants a personalized invitation.

  I enthusiastically recommend Rachel from Miss Merkle Design! She was an absolute pleasure to work with, starting from the first day we met to discuss my vision for our wedding stationary. She has a keen eye for design and the rare ability to translate rough ideas into something beautiful on paper. She listened carefully to what I wanted, and when I suggested minor edits during the iteration process, she was happy to make the changes. Her professional yet approachable, friendly attitude helped make the entire process that much better. Since getting married in April, I have recommended Rachel to three friends, all of whom have been very impressed and equally happy with her work.
