I wish I could give them 100 stars because my best decision for my wedding was working with Double Trip Press. I do not even know where to begin to tell you future brides/grooms how much I love and adore Ryan and Nicolette. I wanted to work with a local company near my house in Lakeview, so I found Double Trip Press by simply Googling and reading their reviews. They were all 5 stars and wonderful, so I knew I needed to check out the team for myself to see if this was the real deal. The moment my parents, husband and I first met Ryan, it was an instant connection. I explained to Ryan my vision for the wedding but told him I had no idea how I wanted the invitations to look. I was lost! He told me to trust him, and I completely did. The moment I saw my mock ups, I cried. Ryan blew my parents', husband's and my exceptions out of the water! He even created our monogram and custom wax seal that we will use for the rest of our lives. Ryan and Nicolette not only did our invitations but all of our day of items: place cards, bar signs, dinner menus, custom ribbon bound church programs, custom guest book made out of Horween Leather (absolutely unreal), dance floor monogram, cocktail napkins with our monogram, custom personalized cigar match books with our monogram (a surprise gift for my husband, his groomsmen, and all guests that fancy a cigar as I had them put out in bowls at the 4 bars), thank notes, and custom stationary for Shane and me, which I gift my husband on our wedding morning when I wrote my first letter to him with my new last name.
I cannot speak any more highly of these wonderful two people who made all my wedding dreams come true. My husband's favorite part was when Ryan let him do one of the letter presses on our invitations. It was quiet a personalized and unforgettable experience working with Double Trip Press. They are genuine and care about your wedding dreams and vision. HIRE THEM!!! I will most definitely be using them in the future for future O'Mara parties and my parents have already told Ryan to start thinking of ideas for the next Durkin weddings. :) BEST DECISION EVER

Had my fiancé in happy tears
We were totally blown away with Double Trip Press. Nicolette and Ryan are some of the most talented, kind, and patient people we’ve ever worked with. They helped us navigate and hone in on our vision, guide us through some tough stylistic choices, and designed and printed an invite that literally put my fiancé in tears it was so beautiful. Our friends kept sharing them on social media and our family won’t stop talking about how good they look! We were going to use some random online service, but I am SO so glad we went with Double Trip. It was painless, affordable, and the finished product is a memory we are likely to keep forever. Just phenomenal work! Would recommend over and over again!!

Absolutely incredible
Ryan and Nicolette do an absolutely incredible job. They are unbelievably talented. We received compliments on everything from our invitations to our napkins that had hand drawn pictures of our cats imprinted on them. They are so nice and easy to work with and made the wedding planning process a lot easier for me! We will use them for anything paper related in the future.
