Professional and efficient

LaDonna was recommended by our wedding planner Jennifer Ball at Knot Your Average Events. I called her to talk about what we needed for our wedding and after telling her about our plans for a minute or so, it was almost like she could read my mind. It was clear that I was in the presence of a seasoned professional. She had very targeted design suggestions and everything she recommended was perfect. It was easy to work with her and we got tons of compliments on how beautiful our invitations were. Everything was done right on time, too and was reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

LaDonna did an incredible job with our invitations! Many of our guests reached out to us to tell us just how beautiful the invitations were. The detail she put into them was truly stunning. We also had some last minute changes, and she was able to accommodate us completely. Don't go anywhere else for your invitations/programs needs, she is the best!

LaDonna is amazing to work with! She is very creative, patient, and makes gorgeous invitations. We came to her from Knot Your Average Events after seeing an example of one of her cards. We did not have concrete ideas of what we wanted, so she went to work making drafts for us and they were perfect! They somehow incorporated us as people (despite only meeting over the phone), our venue, and the vibe we wanted to convey. I highly, HIGHLY recommend you use her services!

We had a wonderful experience with LaDonna! She made the entire process fun and easy. There is definitely something to be said for not having to deal with a "company" or wondering what the final product will look like or feel like, LaDonna is the only one you have to deal with, no company issue here. She was so patient through the entire process and easy to contact for any question that popped into my mind. LaDonna comes very highly recommended!

LaDonna created beautiful save the dates, wedding invitations, and other wedding stationery for me. I had a very particular vision, and she surpassed it with her attention to detail. I also liked that she offered me a couple of concepts, and was always open to tweaking things. She really makes it her responsibility to get to know her customers and make this process as stress free as possible. Thank you so much LaDonna. We loved our stationery!

Initially, my intentions were to go to WeddingPaperDivas.com to order my wedding invitations. There were a few problems with that.
1. You cannot touch the invitations - yes, you can get a sample packet, but there was no guarantee it included the invitation that you wanted
2. You cannot compare two of the invitations side by side
3. WeddingPaperDivas.com no longer exists!!!!

But I went to a wedding showcase in Sanford, NC at the last minute and that's where I met The Desktop Diva. From the moment I met LaDonna, she simply cared about making my day memorable and special; not only with the invitations, but recommendations for other aspects of the wedding day that I didn't even think about. LaDonna was knowledgeable and very professional; there's nothing like going to her office and being able to touch the invitations right there and not having to look online and hoping you'll like them. Thank you so much, LaDonna, for making our wedding invitations memorable; our guests raved about them from the moment they saw the envelope. You simply cannot go wrong in choosing The Desktop Diva for your wedding invitations or any other stationary needs.

I don't know why it was so difficult to find the invitation I wanted, but I couldn't find it until I found LaDonna! Thank goodness for her! I had a peacock themed wedding and she found the perfect wrap to add a beautiful touch to my invitations. I actually had people asking if I had spent $20+ on each invitation because they looked so fancy. While my invitations looked like they were $20+ each, they weren't. ;) LaDonna's prices were amazing. The menus and programs she made for my wedding were beautiful as well. She did the invitations on short notice (after I struck out with multiple other vendors). Thank you LaDonna for my gorgeous wedding invitation. People loved it!

We are so grateful that we were able to work with LaDonna at the Desk Top Diva for our wedding stationary needs!! LaDonna's professionalism and warm spirit made the task of selecting wedding stationary very smooth and enjoyable. LaDonna was very intuitive, knowledgeable and creative during the design process of our save the dates, wedding invitations and wedding ceremony programs. We were very pleased and impressed with the quality, sophistication and elegance of everything that we ordered from The Desktop Diva. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our save the Dates, wedding Invitations and wedding ceremony programs looked. In addition, LaDonna was very patient, flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend The Desktop Diva not only for wedding stationary but for all of your stationary needs!!! The Ashmores

LaDonna is one awesome lady! Weddings are stressful enough, so don't waste your time trying to DIY your stationary. If you want quality, awesome service, and great prices please look no further! I did not feel rushed or neither talked into spending more money. She listened to me and understood our budget. She was patient and offered great advice. She is professional, answers your questions promptly, and most of all she has a great spirit. She is a one stop shop! She provides other services too.

She goes above and beyond! My mother suddenly fell ill and hospitalized the week of our wedding. I was stressed, sad, nervous and out of my mind. LaDonna took the time to deliver the rest of our order to the venue the day of our rehearsal. Now that's classy! She has gained not only a customer but friend for life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
