I cannot express enough how grateful my husband and I are for the exceptional service provided by Mekala at The Tie That Binds. From the moment we had our first phone call, Mekala made us feel heard & so excited. She listened intently to our vision for our wedding invitations and branding, and with her unparalleled creativity, she brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Every detail was meticulously crafted, reflecting not only our ideas but also her artistic flair. Mekala's dedication and passion truly shone through in every aspect of her work, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Our invitations and branding were not just pieces of paper; they were reflections of us, thanks to Mekala's talent and commitment. We are beyond thrilled with the results and can't thank Mekala enough for making our wedding dreams a reality. If you're searching for someone who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, look no further than The Tie That Binds.

If anyone one is on the fence on whether to work with Mekala - DO IT! Mekala is a talented artist who spends the time getting to know and understands her clients, is incredibly professional, and wonderfully kind. For our wedding we wanted to bring parts of our cultural backgrounds to life and Mekala did that with elegance and grace. Somehow, she managed to see inside our minds and bring our visions to life in ways we didn't know were possible. She helped us with save the dates, invitations, menus, wedding gifts, welcome bags, welcome sign and name card display. I wouldn't have changed a single thing.

Mekala’s creations are stunning. Our guests were blown away, feeling like they’d been invited to the event of the year when they received our save the dates and invitations. Even the envelopes and vintage stamps were another level of awe. I want to frame one because they are so special and true keepsakes. Mekala was lovely to work with. She’s intuitive with her designs. She was so helpful, efficient and made the whole process easy and flawless. It became clear that Mekala takes a lot of pride in what she presents to you. That gives you the confidence that she will knock it out of the park. And she did!

Mekala's stationary work is probably the best I've seen. All of our guests raved about the invitations - more than a few people said the invites were the best they'd ever encountered. Someone even said they wanted to frame it. Mekala is incredibly responsive to feedback but to be honest we mostly just let her do her thing - her work speaks for itself. If you're looking for invitations, menus, save-the-dates, etc that really have a wow-factor (this is not standard stuff - it looks incredible and your guests will comment on it) then Mekala is the girl for you :)

Our wedding planner suggested Mekala to help design our wedding stationery from invites to day of paper like menu and table numbers. If you want your event to look cohesive and stay true to an overall look or theme, I highly recommend booking the Tie That Binds! Mekala was prompt in her responses and brilliant with her design choices! She really helped our vision come to life and our wedding day would truly not have been the same without her work. Hiring her also saved me tons of time and stress trying to piece everything together myself. So thrilled to have had the chance to work with Mekala!

From the first conversation with Mekala , my daughter Madelyn and I knew we were being heard and that my daughter and her fiancé were truly being seen. Madelyn wanted the invitations to reflect the care and detail we were putting into the whole weekend . She wanted bold colors and their dogs represented in the theme. Mekala designed a crest for them that reflected the lives and personalities of both Madelyn and her fiancé along with their pups. Mekala guided us beautifully, keeping us on schedule from the Save The Dates right though the day of , wedding guest cards, bar signs, menus and printing thank you cards. The entire experience was fun and Mekala’s artistry and enthusiasm made the whole experience a complete joy!!! The invitations are precious keepsakes we will value for the rest of our lives! Thank you Mekala !!!

I cannot recommend Mekala at Tie that Binds enough. First of all she was a dream to work with. My daughter (the bride) is a graphic designer, but was too stressed to do her own invites. (Also need to add that my other daughter got married one month before so we were all stressed out!) She literally found Mekala on Pinterest and contacted her. My daughter is beyond picky with font, design, etc. and Mekala worked side by side with her to make invites, and other wedding papers, menus, table signs, etc. exactly how my daughter wanted them. Her work was unique, gorgeous, and she even ribboned and stuff the invites and mailed them! We got soooo many compliments on those invites! And trust me, if my daughter likes it - they are good! Thanks so much again Mekala for making a stressful time less stressful, and for amazing work. You are truly talented!

Mekala was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She is SO talented, and took exactly what my husband and I wanted and then made it one million times better! Mekala did everything for us from our invitations to day-off stuff (signs, escort cards, menus, etc.), and we got tons of compliments on our paper goods. She is extremely talented and very creative, and also the sweetest person ever and very responsive. She was always available for a quick call. We had one issue with shipping and Mekala handled is so professionally and calmly – my husband and I were 0% stressed or worried. She is truly awesome and we highly recommend Tie that Binds!

If you are in the market for any type of paper goods for your wedding, I cannot suggest Tie That Binds more! Mekala was absolutely incredible to work with, not only with her beautiful designs, but in her quick responses, and she even took a call at 8:30am on a Saturday when we had a shipping snafu the week before the wedding. We were over the moon with the finished product and want to keep them all in a frame or something because they are all so beautiful. Thank you so much, Mekala for helping to make our special day even more beautiful!

I was not a bride that was expecting to care all that much about my invitations, but with Mekala's help our invites turned out to be one of my favorite personal touches of the whole wedding. I absolutely loved them, and 4 months after the wedding am still getting compliments on them. Mekala was incredibly responsive, and worked with me patiently through all my indecisiveness. She even went out of her way to hand-deliver a sample pack of paper to my house so I could get a better feel for the quality and weight of each paper. Above and beyond!
