Testimonials

It has been such a pleasure dealing with Heleene at Special Occasions. I have run many different types of affairs and dealing with Heleene has always helped to make the event run smoothly. Heleene has the BEST selection of invitations around! She is knowledgeable and is willing to go the extra mile. Whether it be ordering an invitation to helping put together all the extras such as napkins, etc., she helps you through every part of the affair. I know when I go there, I am taken care of! Customer care is so important and thankfully there are people like Heleene that we can count on!

Beautiful. Gorgeous. Stunning. Perfect. These are only some of the accolades I heard from guests when they received invitations designed by Heleene Fink of Special Occasions for my children's b'nai mitzvahs. Supportive. Creative. Attentive. A Joy to Work With. That's how I describe Heleene. She supplied more than just invitations; she offered advice, encouragement, and a sincere commitment to the success of my events. Who could ask for more?

Thank you so much for your outstanding customer service throughout our wedding planning. You helped my husband and I create a fabulous save the date card, which was a perfect combination of what we each thought we wanted. After ordering our save the dates from you (which were beautiful and very unique) we decided to design and order our wedding invitations through you as well because we felt that you were: honest, hard-working, and reliable.

I can’t tell you how many people told us that our invitations were the most elegant they had ever seen. I can’t believe we designed them ourselves (with a lot of help from you)! Your suggestions were perfect. You helped me design an invitation that perfectly reflected my personality as well as the overall atmosphere I wanted for my wedding. We love the invitations so much that my husband and I are having our photographer insert one into the front page of our wedding album! We were also very pleased with our ceremony programs, which you also helped design. The programs were classic, elegant and within our budget. Even our placecards were perfect!

Throughout the entire process, you were:
reliable, professional, and really fun to work with. I knew that my happiness mattered so much to you. I never realized how beautiful and special invitations could look until I worked with you. You saved me so much worry. I knew that with you, everything would be done right and on time and it was! All of my questions were answered almost immediately by you. I am so grateful for everything you did for us and I would highly recommend Special Occasions and Designs to anyone looking for outstanding service and great taste.

Believe it or not, I am just putting away several folders which I kept to organize the myriad of things involved in planning a wedding. I have just looked at Alison's invitations and programs again and want to sincerely thank you for your most outstanding service and products. Alison's invitations were the most beautiful, elegant invitations I have ever seen, and we received many compliments from our wedding guests. Your expertise, patience, and advice in ordering the invitations was invaluable. And, your attention to detail and awareness of time was awesome! We always felt special in all of our dealings with you whether we were sitting at your shop or communicating via e-mail.

You were able to offer your advice when needed, yet you also had the uncanny ability to wait patiently while your bride and mother of the bride discussed things together, which sometimes took hours! Your cost estimates and final or der co sts were always exact, right down to the penny! Alison's church ceremony programs were also the most exquisite programs I have ever seen. The paper and font were elegant and perfectly suited the whole wedding ceremony. Again, many of our guests complimented the lovely programs! Your facilitation of the details involved in getting the invitations to your calligrapher, handling the payment to the calligrapher, checking the calligrapher's work on the outside envelopes, inside envelopes, and table place cards was absolutely impeccable, and the calligrapher's work was a beautiful work of art.

I want to most sincerely thank you for your outstanding service and will certainly highly recommend you to everyone. Please feel free to use our invitations or programs as examples for your clients, and please feel free to quote me anytime!
