Kind Words
“The Patterned Desk absolutely went above and beyond for our August Wedding. From the careful attention to detail to the immaculate execution, everything was done with such care. Vanessa was able to provide our welcome sign, customized to our specifications, our table assignments with a beautiful mirror rental as well as table numbers that fit in perfectly to our aesthetic. She took all our adjustments into consideration and created such wonderful products that really made such a difference in our wedding day. I could not recommend her more for all your wedding stationary needs and more!”
