    Downtown, Southwest Portland

    My experience with Golden Hour Paper has not been a good one to say the least. I emailed requesting…read moreinformation on doing a custom order on 9/4/2024. After a few exchanges to discuss color/paper/etc I placed my order on 10/14/24 and was told they would ship in 2-3 weeks. I never heard anything back and still had not received them by 11/18/24. I reached out asking for an update and was understanding when told they would be shipped before 11/28/24. I received an email on 11/26/24 with a picture of the finished product and was asked my opinion on it. I responded on the same day and asked for the product to be resized because I didn't like the dimensions. Instead of doing what I asked, the order was shipped anyway and I received them unaltered. I also noticed upon receiving them that the color was not what I asked for and it looked like the ink ran out in multiple places because it would fade to a light blue when it started out as navy blue. I didn't notice the color change in the email she sent before I received it in the mail so I didn't think to say anything about it. I received the order on 12/13/24 and immediately emailed asking about the resizing and color. I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE BACK and then sent a follow up email on 1/4/25. I finally got a response back on 1/7/25 and she offered to redo them free of charge on a smaller sheet of paper and with a more consistent ink color. I will admit, my response back was delayed because I had just had a baby and was unable to email back until 2/4/25. I agreed to having them redone and asked a lot of questions about the process in that email on 2/4/25. I GOT NO RESPONSE! I followed up again on 4/15/25. AGAIN, NO RESPONSE!! Followed up on 6/10/25 and finally got a response back on 6/11/25. In her response on 6/11/25 she stated she would get started on my order the following week which was 6/16-6/20. I responded on 6/12/25 and after a couple email exchanges we decided on the final paper color, paper size, ink, everything on 6/26/25. SHE GHOSTED ME AGAIN!!!! Didn't hear back, didn't receive my order, NOTHING!!! I emailed her yet again on 9/23/25 expressing my frustration with the entire process and she offered up my original color preferences at no charge, I assumed and I responded back within minutes that that is what I would like done. I have not heard from her since 9/23/25 and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ORDER!!! I'm not one to post bad reviews and I usually extend a lot of grace (which is very evident in my responses) because I know life gets crazy and there are always unforeseen valleys but this is absolutely absurd!! For the amount of money I paid for this order I never would have expected such poor quality and poor service. And for anyone interested, I have ALL the email receipts as proof of this terrible service. I would not recommend Golden Hour Paper.

    Maddy was fantastic to work with. She produces beautiful work and goes above and beyond to ensure…read morethat her customers are completely happy with their invitation suites - she even ordered a new set of envelopes for our suite because she didn't feel that the color was exactly what we were looking for. I'd recommend her to any couple looking for beautiful invitations and calligraphy for their wedding!

    I really wanted to like this company for a variety of reasons . First , I like supporting small…read morebusinesses. Second, the price was more than fair . I collect antiques and vintage pieces and thought I found the perfect person to help me restore special finds . One positive is that the owner's man hours far exceed what she charges. I really have to give her credit for this. Unfortunately, the skills, experience, and business management here are severely lacking. I first contacted this company to fix some paint damage on a very nice Pottery Barn dining room table. She quoted about a quarter of the price quoted by licensed & bonded companies so we thought it was worth the gamble. Nearly 8 months later, our table is worthless and looks awful . The first time she brought it back it was clearly painted with different paints! The 2 pieces of the table and the 2 leaves didn't match and it was extremely obvious. She was open to fixing it, and at first that was great. Unfortunately, she was extremely unreliable. I checked texts and at least 19 (!!) times she said she was coming to work on it and just didn't show. Several other times, she was hours late or worked late at our house. When it was done, it looked ok, but the paint was not furniture grade. It peeled and regular use left marks and damage . Finally, it was clear she couldn't fix it, and she took it back. She gave a date and didn't show up . I emailed her , and she was accountable for the damage. She said she was consulting with a furniture expert who had been working on tables for 30 years and would fix it. Still, she still didn't pick the table up for another 3 weeks. She finally returned the table and there are still some problems. The leaves are a different color than the rest of the table, and the entire table no longer matches the chairs (I gave her the info on the original product ). It was clearly painted with a spray gun and just done badly. She came to our house to work on the very obvious swirly paint lines , left and hasn't contacted us or responded in 4 weeks. She completely ignores texts and emails. It's going to cost about $1600 for a professional to fix the damage. Bottom line : too good to be true price , true hard work. I wish she had been honest about her inability to complete the project from the beginning, would have saved us all trouble. She is also very unreliable and continued to destroy our table over 8 months.

    I wish I could give Donya more than 5 stars! I called her about refinishing a large dresser and…read moremirror. Her price was far more reasonable than the other 5 quotes I got. Not only that but she arranged pick up and drop off for only $30. Not only were her prices phenomenal but her work was fantastic. She was even able to refinish my dresser that had particle board on the sides because she does all her work by hand. Most places take the piece apart and dip it in a harsh chemical that eats away at the varnish...but Donya gracefully and patiently sands it down by hand. This makes for a gentle and mindful restoration. I just can't say enough about the quality of her work and how reasonable her prices were. Don't even bother getting other quotes...she'll bet them hands down and her work is phenomenal. The pictures don't do the work justice...but I've attached for you to see.
