Kasey is amazing! She is very creative and does not make the same invitation. Kasey was flexible with me giving her ideas or color schemes I had and she worked her magic. Kasey sent a proof of the save the date magnet and invitation that gave us easy access to edit or make changes. The invitations meshed well with our rustic barn venue and the colors. Highly recommend!!

ROCKSTAR Coordinator and Paper Good!
Kasey is a ROCKSTAR!! She handled all of our paper goods and wedding coordination. The paper goods were completely customized and done beautifully!! I received so many compliments on them, and they definitely set the tone for our wedding day! She was also the BEST wedding coordinator I could have asked for! She met with us several times to understand and discuss the details of our wedding to ensure she was in the loop and understood our vision. And, she ensured our vision was realized the day of! She was on top of ALL of it!! She helped the day go smoothly from start to finish. AND, we could not have predicted that our hotel would be overbooked to the point where some of our guests (and bridal party!) didn't have a hotel room... and while this was a bummer, she took the stress away by taking complete control of the situation and coordinating getting everyone affected a room at a hotel down the street. In addition, she was attentive to my husband and I, as well as our bridal party, during the reception to ensure we were taken care of with drinks and food! I could go on and on about all of the things Kasey did for us before and on our wedding day. I truly can't say enough good things about her. And, if you are questioning whether you should have a coordinator or not, trust me, you should! This is the one day you spend so much time and money on, that you want it to be perfect. So you definitely want Kasey! If nothing else, at least visit her to see samples of her paper goods - they are one of a kind, like her! I totally recommend Kasey and DBY!!

DBY/ Kasey
Professional, classy, unique, superior customer service, and incredibly accommodating. We found DBY at a Bridal Expo. From day one meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Kasey walked us through every step, listened to our needs and wants, and gave great suggestions. Together, we made a great plan. Our invitations were gorgeous and unique. They also helped us with a multitude of unique wedding goodies. Presentation and Professionalism A++! DBY set the tone from the beginning to end as nothing but perfect. Perfection is what we received! Highly recommend!!!

Our wedding was at the Chicago Cultural Center in Feb 2018, and it was absolutely amazing thanks to Kasey and her team! With 15+ years of experience in this industry, she knows everyone and everything in the entire greater Chicagoland area. Not only is she quite literally a wealth of knowledge, but her negotiating power is much stronger than yours can ever be as a new bride. She leverages her knowledge and relationships wholeheartedly for you. She is hardworking and loves what she does, which really shows in how much effort she puts into everything she touches. Her fee paid itself (and then some) in what she saved us from other vendors.
No doubt Kasey is worth it alone from the financial aspect and an asset during the planning process, but come the day-of, her talents truly shine! All the months of planning hinge on ONE day, so there is a lot of pressure to execute and here she just thrives! I was able to enjoy literally every minute of our wedding day - my mom and I didn't have to do anything! Kasey ran the entire behind-the-scenes show. She also made sure that our vision that we had worked on for months was executed exactly as planned by the other vendors involved. She really made our vision come to life in a way that I will forever be grateful for. A wedding day is a big investment and I cannot imagine who else I could possibly trust to do this (again, I am a type A person so it was difficult to hand over the reigns). I am eternally grateful for all of your hard work on our behalf Kasey, I cannot thank you enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Kasey and DBY Invitations. From the day I met her at the Bridal Expo, I knew I had a good feeling about Kasey. She is warm and outgoing, and is well versed in all things wedding related. I originally met with Kasey for my wedding invitation stationery, but quickly realized what an asset she would be to my “wedding team.” Kasey not only handled all of our stationery needs, but my mother and I decided that we wanted to hire Kasey as my day-of wedding coordinator. Well let me tell you - that was the BEST decision we made when it came to wedding planning. We received so much more than just day-of coordinating! Kasey alleviated SO much stress for us throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding, we were as calm as could be!! I am a person that likes to be in control, and wedding planning was no different. I had a specific vision for my wedding, but was easy going when it came to the small details. Kasey understood my vision and ran with it. She not only aided with my ideas, she had fantastic ideas of her own! Every single detail was thoughtfully planned, and it showed on my wedding day. I do not “hand over the reigns” very easily when it comes to planning, but with Kasey, it was different. I knew I was in good hands and that Kasey’s assertive personality would be fighting for the best for us every step of the way.
I could go on for hours about Kasey and her team, but instead I will let you check them out for yourself. I promise you it will be the best decision you can make for yourself when it comes to wedding planning. I not only was able to have a stress-free wedding, but I left with a friend in Kasey. I will be returning to Kasey and DBY Invitations for any and all stationery needs in the future - I cannot wait to enlist her help in my future party planning! Kasey, we cannot thank you enough, and we love you to pieces!!

Kasey made our wedding day AMAZING! The invitations really set the event off. The invitations were so beautiful and classy! We had several people frame our invites for gifts and made other unique gifts with them including our unity candle. She also made menus,welcome letters, programs, stickers and some really awesome murals for our Chicago themed wedding. She really did amazing things to make our day beautiful. She was always there to answer other questions about our big day. When planning your big day or any event, make your first stop at DBY Events & Invitations! Kasey is simply the BEST!

I chose Kasey Larson and DBY Invitations to design and print our invitations, and I am so happy that I did! I found Kasey and DBY at a local Bridal Show not long after we got engaged, and I fell in love with her designs right away. We hired Kasey and DBY to do our Save the Dates, our Invitations, our programs, our escort cards and two items for our welcome bags (we had a destination wedding). I wanted to have a cohesive and elegant look and feel for the printed matter for our wedding, but I didn’t want anything cookie cutter or just like everyone else’s. Kasey WOWED me. She took my color scheme and helped me choose papers, and she guided me to a design style that fit my budget and then she went to work, customizing the individual pieces and making them unique, special and beautiful. Kasey asked the right questions, and got right to the heart of what I wanted and gave it to me, perfectly! Every single piece she designed was beautiful and special to our destination and to us. The whole suite of completed items look beautiful together, and definitely achieved my goal of a cohesive and classy overall look of the wedding. The invitations are the centerpiece of the collection, and they are truly a work of art. Kasey was able to take some stained glass images from pictures I’d taken at our venue and used them in the invitations in an unexpected and beautiful way. They turned out so personal and so gorgeous; I have gotten so many compliments on them! Kasey was very easy to work with, and when I wanted changes, she immediately understood what I wanted and made the changes very quickly so my timeline would stay on track. DBY Invitations does extremely high quality, hand crafted work. They really work to understand your vision and to make sure you achieve it. For the quality, custom designed finished work we received; I felt that the value provided by DBY Invitations and Kasey Larson was OUTSTANDING.

Kasey,
I wanted to make sure to reach out to you and thank you for the wonderful job you have done with all of our wedding stationary.

My wedding save-the-dates, invitations, menus, programs, placecard settings, and thank-you cards could not have been more beautiful. They were able to capture exactly what I had pictured. They responded to my questions promptly and thoroughly. I would use DBY again for any fancy event!

Wow I just read all the bad reviews and I must say my experience was different. I did have a couple of last minute problems however Kasey solve the problem right away and the result was beautiful. Kasey replied to every e-mail very fast even when she was out of town. The quality of the invitations and designs are wonderful, you can definitely tell the difference between working with her and just printed with an online company. She did everything for the shower and the wedding and I can tell you I'm a happy customer and I will recommend them. I think a good vendors is not the one that do everything the way you want but the one that helps you create something even more beautiful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
Kasey Larson with DBY invitations did a fantastic job with all the details associated with the anniversary we worked together last Saturday. Everything from the table settings, to the menus, it all was well thought out and very original. We would definitely recommend Kasey with your future event! We look forward to seeing her work again soon.
