Stunning work!

I loved working with Paper Cliche on invitations for our client’s wedding! Danielle is a very talented artist and was able to turn the vision and design we created into beautiful stationery pieces. She is easy to work with, has a very streamlined process, and is so kind! She truly cares about her clients and aims to create stationery that represents them. Excited to collaborate with her again!!

Stunning Product, Great Service, it's worth it imo!

I was introduced to Danielle at Paper Cliche through my wedding coordinator Carissa Metcalfe with Positively Charming Weddings. She did Invitations, place cards, seating chart, welcome signage, and we rented sign stands. I was skeptical at first to hire someone for all my stationary and signage, I thought I could just do it for cheaper myself or put my family or friends to work etc. Honestly, now after everything I'd definitely recommend looking into her services... she was very professional (which is one of my biggest things), on time with deadlines, responsive, and I even had to add a minor change to something last minute on our bar sign, I emailed her and she worked with me and made it happen. She delivers beautiful products.... I was complimented on our invitations by our guest very often which surprised me because thats such a random thing to compliment us on haha. But seriously, if you're on the fence, I'd do a consult with Danielle and talk to your planner, I think it was very worth it in the end. everything was very "on-brand" and consistent and high quality. everything was beautiful! Thank you so so much again Danielle!!!!

Perfection

I loved working with Danielle! Due to covid, I had a last minute order and not only did she make it happen but she made it absolutely beautiful. I had several edits to be made (all my fault) and she was so patient and kind through the process. The invitation suite and welcome banner were so romantic and dreamy. The calligraphy, style, layout and color palette were perfection and my only regret was not using her for the rest of the wedding signage. Thank you Dani for being a part of our special day

Fun Experience

I borrowed a jacket from Dani to use for my engagement photos. She could not have made the process easier and the jacket came over a week in advance for my shoot. Easy to ship back to after I was done.

I loved the jacket and was the perfect accessory for my photos.

The most amazing calligrapher + human out there

Well, I don't really know where to begin? As a wedding planner in New England, Dani and I connected via Instagram and have been e-bff's for quite some time now. She has even joined on as an important part of my other not-for-profit endeavor as a calligrapher. Her work is so unique and so stunning and she's so effortlessly creative, not to mention kind as heck and so patient throughout the creative process. We have worked on countless styled shoots together and she pours her HEART into her work. It's beyond unique and she never ceases to amaze me with the products she delivers. From handmade custom leather invites and recycled denim vow books to a light blue custom floral and calligraphy leather jacket and a pink watercolor suite, she has made all of this for shoots I've planned and truly proves that she can do it ALL. I highly highly highly recommend Dani for your special event calligraphy and stationery needs. She is absolutely your girl!

Gatsby of NYE!

Every year we have a formal New Year’s Eve party at our home. A couple years back we hired Danielle to craft and decor for the entire place along with, seat markers, place settings, menu boards and fun game props. She is one that under promises in overdelivers. My favorite. Too many people talk the talk and don’t walk the walk. This girl is on fire! Highly recommend!

Perfectly sized personalized name stone tiles

I ordered personalized name tiles (truly little tiles like from a hardware store) for our company holiday dinner. But don’t let that stop you from ordering. Everyone loved them as they were nestled on top of mini candy canes on a mini wreath. I’ve even seen the name tiles on employees desks after the event. Definitely a classy yet affordable alternative in place of paper name cards.
