We are so glad that we chose Allison Barnhill Designs for our save-the-dates, invitations, and escort cards. Allison made the whole process so easy and was a pleasure to work with! She met with us in her studio and helped us narrow down our fonts, paper, colors, and wording. She has so much experience in the business and the quality of her work is incredible! We had guests raving to us about our save-the-dates and invitations- everyone said it was the best quality/cutest invitations they had ever seen! (and we agree of course!)

Allison responded very quickly to e-mails and easily dealt with all my last minute changes (sorry for being difficult!) We had a lot of out-of-country guests invited- she made sure to keep those envelopes separate and not put a stamp on their return envelopes. She even expedited part of our order going to guests out of the country for visa purposes (thank you Allison!) Allison is super organized and got all of our items to us so quickly! I can't express enough how much we loved working with Allison- I would highly recommend her to everyone!

I cannot say enough about Allison and the quality of work she produces! She was able to take our vision and put it in print form. She had so many examples to help us choose our design. I wasn't originally planning on having her print anything beyond the invitations but I was so obsessed with the invitations that I just wanted more. All her work was finished prior to the dates she told us. She was so flexible with a few changes I requested even after I gave her the OK to print. She is the absolute best!

Allison is BEYOND awesome! From the first time I met with her she was so prepared. She had so many examples to show us and even sent us home with examples until our save the date proofs and invitations were ready. Allison always communicated with me when things were in process. Every person was blown away with our invitations and I will always recommend Allison! She has the perfect personal touch!!!

Allison was wonderful to work with and really helped with all of our etiquette questions. The invitations were stunning and received many complements from the guests. Allison also prepared seating charts for us that were beautiful. I look forward to working with Allison on any future announcement needs!

Allison was great to work with and provided a lot of insight on wedding invites and stationary. She designs everything from scratch and has so many options to personalize each element. Helped in every step of the process, which is great for those without a planner. Highly recommend!

AMAZING work! Allison is easy to work with, professional, and provides great quality with great prices! She customizes everything to your taste! She created beautiful wedding invitations on my budget! I still get compliments about them. She also printed envelopes for me, did my escort cards as well as created campus maps, guest letters for my welcome bags, and table tents. She also made pictures of campus landmarks on foam board that I had in grass to show a 3-D map of campus for my guests. All came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She got all my ideas and turned them into reality! Having fonts and colors match really added a thematic touch that looked awesome. Having Allison do so many things really helped me relax since I'm not crafty! She is always on-time and mistake-free! I plan to use her for future events. I highly, highly recommend Allison Barnhill Designs!

There are not enough wonderful things to say about Allison. She is a consummate professional who spends a tremendous amount of time making sure your vision of the invitation is realized. Everyone who received our invitation commented on how special and beautiful they were. Allison was just wonderful to work with and I know I had to test her patience with changes and deadlines that constantly varied. Through it all she remained cheerful, helpful and did everything in her power to make sure we had what we needed when we needed it. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want someone lovely to work with that will create your dream invitation and will work with you every step of the way then I urge you to use Allison. You will be as thrilled with the results as we were.
