"I truly don’t have enough good words to say about Tiffany. She was absolutely fantastic at my wedding. I still have guests talking about it a month and a half later; she went above and beyond for every single one of my guests. Her engraving was absolutely beautiful and it was a party favor no one will ever forget. If you are considering booking her for literally any service you will not be disappointed!!!!"
"Tiffany was GREAT to work with. Very communicative to ensure that the design I voiced was executed and it was done so beyond my expectations! AND she was able to mail it - made the process so much easier. Everything was done with professionalism and her responses were always super quick!"
"Everything was super clear with the mock-ups but it turned out better than I thought it would! Thank you for accommodating us on the extra details and it really made it more special!"
