    Gorgeous stationery products

    Artisan Matchmaker created the most beautiful and cohesive stationery and paper products for our wedding, incorporating our custom crest and perfectly setting the tone for our summer black-tie optional event. In addition to save the dates and invitation suites, they also designed programs, welcome box cards, table numbers, bar signs, and menus. Since we had to postpone our wedding a year due to covid, they also created beautiful “change” the dates for us, complete with detailed envelopes and addressing. We can’t recommend Artisan Matchmaker enough for beautiful paper products that bring your design vision to life!

    Lucky to have Kathryn on our team!

    Kathryn from Artisan Matchmaker patiently helped me dream up and create our custom wedding suite. As a creative person and DIY-lover, my ideas and questions were endless. Luckily, I had Kathryn on my team! She kindly answered all my questions, humored my crazy ideas, and accepted my pencil and graph paper sketches at all hours of the day. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. Together, we created a lovely, simple, and timeless suite that included, save-the-dates, multi-part invitations, a wax seal, programs, menus, a linen banner, and a watercolor map! Everything turned out beautifully and paired perfectly with our overall decor and feeling at our wedding.

    I’d also like to add that we chose Kathryn because of the products we saw at an expo, but I grew more and more impressed by and excited to work with her because of who I saw she was working with. The Artisan Matchmaker team is working for and with amazing DMV event vendors and that says a lot about the talent and her character. You want Kathryn and Artisan Matchmaker on your team!

    Shop local. Shop woman-owned!

    Absolutely beautiful invitations!

    I met the owners of Artisan Matchmaker at a bridal exposition in Washington DC and I was immediately impressed by their professionalism and charismatic demeanor. After speaking with Kathryn on the phone regarding the vision for my wedding invitations I knew she would be the perfect person to work with. She was wonderful during the design process, providing helpful recommendations and listening to the changes and adjustments I requested. She was even able to adjust the product design midway through when I found I found a design I liked better that my original request. The final product was even better than I envisioned, and I received numerous complements from our guests regarding the quality and beauty of the invitations. I cannot give Kathryn and her a team a higher recommendation and I will definitely be reaching out to her team for future projects!

    Absolutely fantastic!

    Kathryn was fantastic throughout the entire process. She knew exactly what we wanted after talking to us for five minutes and created the most beautiful invitation and monogram. She checked in frequently to make sure we had everything we needed and met all deadlines and even delivered the place-cards directly to the venue’s event manager. We would recommend her without a single hesitation!

    Absolutely beautiful!

    Kathryn was a pleasure to work with. She answered all my millions of questions and gave me great recommendations on the choices I had for our invites and menus. She made my vision of how I wanted everything to look come to life. She also created a BEAUTIFUL illustration of our venue to go on our invitations that turned out better than I imagined. Thank you Artisan Matchmaker for creating the most beautiful wedding invitations and menus ever!

    Wonderful!

    I'm so thankful my wedding planner recommended Artisan Matchmaker! They created an amazing assortment of signs that were simple and beautiful. The whole set created a wonderfully cohesive feel throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was very easy to work with Kathryn and very affordable for the quality of her work. Thank you for making our wedding so beautiful!

    Perfection!!

    We were lucky enough to score an amazing event designer who introduced us to the Kathryn and the Artisan Matchmaker family. They put together a custom welcome sign, seating chart, favor tags and food menu for us that incorporated our Harry Potter theme. Everything was created from scratch and it was absolutely stunning. You might ask how paper signage could be stunning, by trusting Artisan Matchmaker you will most definitely see. Kathryn and co. work with you to bring your vision to life and ensure the mood is set for you guest the minute they walk in and spot your welcome sign.

    Kathryn is so sweet and accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better company to join my vendor team and cannot imagine their work not being incorporated into my wedding day.

    Absolutely wonderful!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about these ladies. They helped us with our save the dates, invitations, all of our day of materials, and more. It was so special having a custom-made set of invitations that matched all of our day of materials. Our guests were so impressed with our invitations and how beautiful and classy everything looked. We also did not use a wedding planner (which could have been a disaster), but Artisan Matchmaker kept us on track and made sure we had everything we needed when we needed it. They made everything so easy and even addressed and mailed all of our invitations for us! We cannot thank them enough - they truly helped make our wedding day special!

    The best ever!

    Lauren and Kathryn did an amazing job with my wedding day paper -- from programs to signs and laser-cut place settings. Everything they created got tons of compliments and it was one of the highlights from my wedding for sure. Their attention to detail was incredible and they suggested some very creative ways to accomplish our goals. Throughout it all they were incredibly responsive and patient with multiple revisions to get everything perfect for the big day. Recommend them highly!!

    Absolutely the Best

    I was so happy to have meet these ladies at the 2018 Alexandria Wedding Showcase! They were so lovely and offered really unique and beautiful designs at a really reasonable rate. To be honest, I was first looking at Minted.com, but soon was turned off by their lack of quality and also pretty steep pricing. I remembered meeting Kathryn and Lauren a few months earlier and so I reached out... I'm so glad that I did!!!
    They were so patient with me and incredibly helpful during the design process. They offered me several choices based on my initial input and also made tweaks after the initial draft proposals were completed.

    These ladies are top notch! We received so many complements from our guests, who raved about the invitations. I highly recommend Artisan Matchmaker!!!!

    In choosing them, I was also delighted to support a female-owned small business. Look no further, call Kathryn and Lauren right now.

    You ladies are the bomb! - Meredith

    Absolutely beautiful

    The team was great to work with! They sat down with my, now husband, and I to discuss the design, color theme and more, right from the start. Then throughout the process they were extremely patient with all the changes we had and the end result was absolutely perfect! I couldn't have been happier!

    We LOVED working with Artisian Matchmaker - and you will too!

    We loved working with Artisan Matchmaker! They brought our vision to life on print and we were so happy with the final products (save the dates-, invitations, signage for the wedding). They were also incredibly accommodating with our last minute changes & requests! I absolutely recommend their services - they were top notch professionals, creative and attentive.

    Made my dreams a reality!

    We absolutely loved working with Artisan Matchmaker! We were having so much trouble deciding what we wanted for our wedding stationary and the moment we met with Artisan we knew we had nothing to worry about. We met with Artisan and told them what we were looking for and they were able to take the image out of my head and make it a reality.

    We were so in love with our invitations that we had Artisan pull together all of our paper product needs for our wedding, from table numbers to programs, to our wedding stationary. They were so easy to work with, provided several proofs of everything and even met us the day before our wedding to drop off the last of our paper products.


    If you are like me and not finding exactly what you want in a paper store, I highly recommend calling Artisan Matchmaker to make your paper and stationary needs a reality.

    Invitations, Flowers, Event Styling

    Artisan Matchmaker turned my wedding weekend into a visual masterpiece! From all my paper needs to flower and event styling, there was not one single detail missed. Their customer service is unmatchable as well- they took care of every little detail and made my weekend as stress free as possible.

    We had a great experience. I wanted a pop-up invitation that included Alexandria's row houses, trees, and silloeuttes of a couple and they were able to deliver a beautiful invitation. They were really responsive and the quality of the invitations was great.

    Artisan Matchmaker did an amazing job on my wedding programs! Kathryn and Lauren were extremely responsive and accommodating. They worked with me and were extremely patient while I made changes to the program until I felt like it was exactly what we wanted. The quality was excellent and they were much more affordable than any other places that we looked into. I highly recommend them!

    These ladies did an exceptional job AND saved us money! We used them for our invitations and table chart/settings. The design phase and production where right on time! Highly recommend checking them out, before you spend a ton of money on some of the bigger name chain store.

    Kathryn and Lauren were absolutely fabulous to work with. They designed our invitation suite, wedding programs, and hotel welcome bags. They also put together our hotel welcome bags and delivered them directly to the hotel. My husband and I didn't have a super strong vision for our invitations other than than we wanted to incorporate our wedding colors (green and gold) and the D.C. skyline somehow. They created a super gorgeous and unique suite of invitations that all of our invited guests raved about. This suite set the whole tone for the wedding and helped us have a base of inspiration off of which we could design the rest of the decor, flowers, etc. These ladies both used to work/manage a Paper Source store and are super duper talented. I plan to use them for other paper needs in the future and wholeheartedly recommend them to any future brides- or really, anyone who ever needs an awesome duo of paper artists to help an event shine!

    Beautiful Products

    We loved working with Kathryn on all our wedding stationary and signage. Kathryn did an amazing job working with out wedding planner to execute our unique style (think dark and moody). She is definitely an expert in her craft and did a fantastic job coming up with a great product at a price point we felt comfortable with. She also did an amazing job incorporating details, like our dog, in a tasteful, elegant way.
