Tip #2: their reply email may also get lost in your junk folder- so please check for their reply and invoice there. I was looking for engraving service as I have a personal item where the words was worn off (it wasn't really engraved but printed on). They were very helpful and we arranged for me to come in to bring the item and explained what I wanted. They are a 2-people team; the lady answered the phone/emailed was different from the man I met in person. To make it easier on them, I had printed out the email with the photos and what I wanted engrave with my contact information when I came to drop off my item. I had emailed them before Christmas and then called at the end of the first week of January. I went last week Wednesday after work to drop off them item and discussed the wording. He said that by Friday there should be proof and then by next Wenesda it should be ready. He gave 1 week estimate turn around. They sent me a proof in email the next day but I didn't see it over the holiday weekend until I was back at the office. I promptly checked for wording, spelling and such and approved. I came today to pick up my item and was happy with the service. It was faster than expected. Overall amazing experience. The gentleman at the office showed me different examples of font, sizing, coloring and such so tha I would be aware of all options and how it would look. I decided against any color (but I did wish they have white as originally my dogtag was in white) but the had grey and black color only. Item: Dog Tag Worn out from just regular wear/tear from 19yrs ago. Received this in 2004 for my 16th birthday from my best friend. The man thought something happened to cause the wording to fade but it was just regular wear around the neck everyday for a few months. Maybe he thought it was engraved? It looked like it is slightly engraved with white color ink printed over but when you feel it, you can tell it's not engraved. See photos of before and after.

They made sure to get me what I needed on schedule and in just the nick of time! Highly recommended, I wouldn't even try anywhere else.

I had the most wonderful experience working with Laura for my wedding invitations and menus. From…read morethe very first message, she was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us create something that felt personal. She listened so closely to what I envisioned and somehow delivered something even more beautiful than what I had imagined. The invitations and menus were a huge part of our wedding aesthetic, and her work truly brought everything together. The lettering, the layout, the small details--everything she touched felt thoughtful and artistic. Guests kept commenting on how stunning the paper goods were, which says so much about her talent. Beyond the final product, she was such a pleasure to work with. Clear communication, helpful guidance, and just a lovely presence throughout the whole process. I'm so grateful I found her and could not recommend her more highly

Here is a review that I'm not paid to write, but most importantly sharing from my heart, with…read morehonest words and sharing my experience. I'm going to reciprocate what was gifted to me and it's not going to be a simple one word sentence. Like : Great. Outstanding. Wonderful to work with, or anything in that line. I'm going to give back what this person has gifted me with and that's time, precision, paying attention to detail and honesty. Now I may not have the talent with art that this amazing woman Lilliana Marin possesses (hence me seeking out her services), however, I am going to follow her lead with being my true authentic self I've been conducting business for more than 40 years and now I own multiple businesses. With that being said, I've experienced such an amazing and rare gift that I wish, hope and pray all of my customers to receive from me and my staff, and that's having them share in the same experience that I've experience working with Lilliana Marin. If my customers (or anyones customers for that matter) receive a fraction of what I was gifted with, God knows we're surely to be that much more successful. With that being said... I've searched for a local engraver in the location where I was and I've messaged them all. That was either emails, phone calls, leaving voice messages or text message. Lilliana Marin from Marin Creations was not just the only person who replied back but most importantly was a true breath of fresh air to work with. You see, I didn't know what it was I wanted to be engraved on a cigar lighter I was gifting someone but Lilliana actually was extremely patient, kind and not only with me (a man with no idea of what I wanted on such a simple project), it seemed like no matter who she was communicating with (myself or anyone else she was working with) we were a priority. When was the last time anybody dealt with any business where they naturally and organically have you feel special like our thoughts/questions were important and our voice matters? Lilliana actually came to me to pick up the item, took the time to talk to me about the project even though her husband was performing at a wedding and they were on their way to the function. Lilliana made it a point, even for such a simple project to show me through her actions that her customers satisfaction is what she strives for. You see, she could've pushed it off and said I'll see you tomorrow or the next day but through her actions she showed me (like she does with everyone) that my customers are important. That type of customer service is second to none. If you take a look at her Instagram account (marincreatons) you're going see that the talent goes so much further than my little project. Lilliana Marin will take any ideas any of her customers have and make it a reality. Thus creating a work of art. So if you have any type of function doesn't matter if it's a wedding, baptism, birthday celebration, retirement or any other moments where you want gift that person with a one-of-a-kind personalized work of art than Marine Creations is a place you should consider. I would even say that people can mail her items so more of the United States can experience something, from a person that doesn't exist elsewhere. I'm so happy, more than pleased and delighted with how this came out, we've discussed more projects for her to assist me with designing and her creating. This might be the most a lengthy review, but I'm just going a fraction of the distance Lilliana Marin will go for every single one of her customers. I just pray all of her customers that have had an opportunity to see this and do their due diligence with sharing their amazing experiences. After all, word-of-mouth is the best form of advertisement. Marin Creations

Patricia is absolutely incredible to work with. Not only is she super talented but extremely kind…read moreand friendly as well, she works with you to make the perfect gifts for yourself or someone else. I initially reached out to her for calligraphy for name table settings, without even knowing just how many things Patricia could do. I am baptizing my daughter, however, she turned out to be my fairy Godmother bc she created the most special magical items that I will forever cherish.She helped personalize my daughters' frame souvenirs and they look absolutely beautiful. I cannot wait to give them out. For the perfumes, you can give her an idea and she will make it work, so effortlessly and perfectly. I gave her ideas for perfume and cologne bottles and everything came out amazing. I loved the ones I gave to others that I loved so much so I made one for myself too. She gave me the idea to put a quote and again the painting and engraving came out lovely. Not only is she so talented but she also gave my daughter a beautiful gift including a personalized compact. I RECOMMEND PATRICIA FOR ANY OF YOUR NEEDS I GIVE HER A A +++ for customer service and will absolutely remain a customer of hers. Thank you for working your magic on my orders, my dear, your work is so much appreciated and I am so happy I found you!! I also am proud to support her as an independent female business woman. She is a value to our community, and all those who purchase from her from far. Thank you a million times! Sincerely, Joanne Burgos
