Joanne is the BEST!

I've had the best experience working with Joanne for our Save the Date's, Invitations, and Table numbers/Seating chart! I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment I reached out to her, she has made the process easy. She took the time to understand my vision and worked closely with me to create stationary that reflected our wedding style.

The quality of the save the dates and invitations were stunning. She helped assemble my invitations as well, which was a true life-saver for me! Joanne was always prompt in responding to any questions that I had. Even when I requested a few last-minute changes, she handled everything smoothly and delivered on time!

If you're looking for guidance, professionalism, and save the dates/wedding invitations/seating charts that are both beautiful and unique, I highly recommend Joanne! She has exceeded my expectations, and she helped make the entire experience stress-free. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the invitations were! Thanks, Joanne!

Amazing to work with & beautiful product!

Joanne was so great to work with! She went above and beyond with the attention to detail for the invitations. She communicated well with us and made the process so simple. We did everything over the phone and email and any time we had an adjustment or communication she was always very quick to respond. When there was a delay with the vendor she really had our side and did a great job of getting the job back on track. The initiations turned out so beautifully and we couldn't be happier! I would definitely recommend working with her!

I referred Joanne to all my friends! She is AMAZING!

Joanne was truly so incredible to work with when creating our wedding invitations. I found her through wedding wire and based on the reviews made a decision to reach out. I was not disappointed. Her prices were super reasonable, she accommodated ALL of our requests and brought our invitations to the next level. We received so many compliments and could not have done it without her. Thank you so much Joanne for your hard work and creativity, it really shows!!!!

Custom Yet Affordable!

I could not be more pleased with Joanne when it came to her taking care of our wedding invitations. I tried to go the online retailer route first but I was dissatisfied with the templates available and the lack of being able customize what I wanted. I work in graphic design and did not want to design such an important, informational piece on my own. From the moment I reached out to Joanne, she met with me in-person to go over countless design options and truly worked with me to produce something that we loved. She is incredibly responsive and will go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the final product. She is also super informative on invitation etiquette and formatting, something I was not familiar with and I appreciated her guidance. The pricing is also very responsible, which I was pleasantly surprised about. I highly recommend anyone in the Capital Region use Carta Bella for their invitation and stationary services!

Carta Bella-The Very Best!

JoAnne of Carta Bella has been a wonder to work with in the design and printing of all related items for my daughter's upcoming wedding. She has designed and had printed the invitation, menu, program, and escort cards. Her experience, guidance and willingness to work within any budget has made this experience stressless. JoAnne's response time to questions, proof designs and final product has been remarkable. She has been a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her for all event printing needs. JoAnne has been the most helpful and communicative vendor we have worked with throughout the planning of my daughter's wedding. My son and soon to be daughter-in-law are now working with her in designing and printing their invitations and related printing needs. JoAnne is the best!

Highly recommend!

Joanne was so awesome to work with. She was extremely responsive (even on weekends) and had a beautiful selection of invitations. She also helped create a beautiful welcome letter for our hotel gift bags, our wedding program, and our seating chart. Not only did she do a wonderful job for my wedding, she also did an amazing job for my sister's wedding in 2017 as well. She has a ton of experience and is extremely kind. I would definitely recommend Joanne !

We loved using Carta Bella!

We absolutely loved working with Joanne and our wedding invitations came out beautiful! She was easy to get in touch with and professional. She showed us several different options and was able to help us pinpoint exactly which products we wanted. The invitations arrived quickly and matched our theme perfectly. She came to us through a recommendation and I can’t recommend her enough to others looking for invitations!
