Katie Fischer Design was the first thing of many aspects of wedding planning that totally exceeded all our expectations. Katie met and sat with us to draw inspiration from our individual interests. She gave us several beautiful options for both our Save the Dates and our Invitations, and by the last round of designs, we honestly had trouble deciding which of the mockups we loved the most. Their work always came in timely, and they addressed all of our notes beautifully throughout the process. We loved working with them, and recommend them very highly!

Katie created a custom invitation suite, as well as day-of paper for my recent wedding. All of the invitations, menus, programs, escort cards perfectly captured the spirit of our garden wedding and generated countless compliments from guests. In addition to being an incredibly talented artist, she is an absolute joy to work with! Unlike some "artistic types," Katie was always professional, caring, intensely organized and VERY FLEXIBLE! She always accommodated our last minute requests (seating arrangement changes, hurried updates to the wedding program, etc.) She always responded immediately and provided excellent customer service. I strongly recommend Katie to any bride/groom interested in high quality invitations with a personal twist!

Less than two months before my wedding, I decided I wanted custom menus, programs and other day-of paper goods, so I reached out to Katie and her responsiveness, professionalism, reasonable prices and design style immediately made me decide to work with her. She completely nailed the look I wanted and was beyond flexible and accommodating throughout the process. I'm obsessed with the final product - it was all perfect!

We are very glad we chose Katie to do our wedding invitations: her professionalism and efficiency made the whole thing so easy and quick! There was no absolutely problem in accommodating our need for invitations in different languages either. Not to mention that the final product is a thing of beauty! I would recommend her without a second thought.

Katie created custom wedding invites and rehearsal dinner invites for us. Our wedding is at a greenhouse, so the invites incorporated the earthy vibe, but also took on a bohemian, artsy, and elegant feel. The background was a custom green and gold watercolor design and the font used was chocolate brown. The font was whimsical, yet formal at the same time. Katie found these amazing envelope liners from Nepal - they were gold and had amazing texture. My fiance and I are pretty casual people, but our wedding is a more formal event. We wanted to make sure that the invitations stressed the formality of the event, but the overall design and feel was true to ourselves. Katie understood our vision and helped us create a unique and personal wedding invite. Our rehearsal dinner is a more casual event then our wedding, a pre-wedding hoedown with live bluegrass music to be exact, so we wanted the invites to reflect the casual vibe. We love sunflowers, so the background of the invite is a custom watercolor sunflower. Perfection. Furthermore, Katie created custom stamps for both the wedding invites and rehearsal dinner invites.

Katie was very flexible and patient with me. She was willing to make edits to the copy, design, etc until I was fully satisfied. She was very accessible and quick to answer any questions I had.

The best part of the wedding invite suite was working with Katie to create unique and amazing escort cards. We brainstormed on ideas of how we could fuse greenhouse-themed favors and escort cards into one product. Katie was able to find the perfect solution - custom designed herb seed packets, that double as table escort cards. The seed packets came assembled with herbs already in them, which was super convenient.

Katie absolutely saved my life. It was a last minute job and she executed everything so professionally and beautifully. She even helped with other rescources. Katie designed my wedding programs, escort card, table numbers, signs, and menu cards. She matched my color scheme and helped me to execute the theme of my wedding in a sleek and modern way. She worked wonderfully with my wedding planner and CC-ing me on all emails so that i was kept up to date on what was happening. I absolutely recommend Katie Fischer designs for those brides wanting flawless and original work!! Thanks again to Katie!!

I contacted Katie Fischer Designs because I was looking for a unique wedding gift to give to the couple that has it all! Katie worked with me to design a custom "story of us" wedding portrait for the couple, that is just the most special and wonderful gift I could imagine! The entire process was incredibly easy, from design consult to print production, to shipping - and surprisingly fast! Katie's artwork is so beautiful and her design really captured the essence of the newly married couple. I would definitely use Katie Fischer Design again, and only regret that I didn't find out about her until after my wedding was over! Definitely 5 stars.

Katie Fischer Design was a dream come true! I could not find ANYTHING I liked and thought there was no way I would get my invitations to reflect my husband and I. She takes the images from your mind and puts them on paper to bring your vision to life! She is determined to reach perfection and is patient with questions and changes. She is flexible and easy to work with. I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Katie Fischer Design did the programs for my wedding in Amagansett, and I could not have been more pleased with the results! Her artwork captured the exact mood of our wedding as well as reflected the style and setting of the east end, where our wedding took place. She was incredibly responsive and sensitive to my needs and even when I acted like a "Bridezilla," she was sweet and helpful, going above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy all of my expectations. I strongly recommend her services!

Katie Fischer Cohen created not only our entire custom wedding stationery suite - STD, Invitations, & reply cards - but also gift bag inserts, programs, menu cards, signage, and cake flags. Not only is she a skilled watercolor artists, but her keen eye for design and passion about paper goods, coupled with her ability to go above and beyond for her clients, make her unrivaled in her field. Katie tackled everything I threw at her with creativity and aplomb. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone who's events need high-quality, luxurious, unique stationery.

With a wide selection of invitations, save-the-dates and other paper products, you have a lot to choose from. Steering away from more traditional invitations, Katie has funky, fun and whimsical imagery. Tons of color and hand-drawn graphics help set the mood for your guests who can expect a fun, modern couple who are excited to make their wedding about the couple, rather than the wedding industry norm.

Katie designed the invitations for her own wedding, which I photographed. I thought they were one of the most beautiful and unique invites I had seen in a long while.
