She's beyond talented, organized, patient and kind.. she's made the whole process easy and fun! I had high hopes for these details, and Catherine has exceeded them. Not only is she talented but her organization and etiquette details have been so helpful for a somewhat scatterbrained bride to be.. can't recommend Catherine and Charm Studio enough.. your expectations will be far exceeded!

She designed beautiful Save the Dates for us along with invitations, escort cards, paper for hotel welcome boxes, signature cocktails signs, maps, rehearsal dinner invites, kooozies, matches, and more! Catherine is so talented and creative and is more than willing to work with whatever budget you have. She is also super fast meeting whatever deadline you need :-) could go on and on. Love her and her work!

I'm not sure if I'd heard of The Book Stall before. I learned that the children's author Sherri…read moreDuskey Rinker, who happens to live in the suburbs, is doing story time events at several suburban bookstores to celebrate the release of her newest book. My daughter is a big fan of her Construction Site and Steam Train Dream Train series, so I was excited to bring her here for the event. We got here a little too early--about five minutes before they opened, and 35 minutes before story time--but I wanted to make sure we got a spot! The area where they hold story time was really large for an independent bookstore. After the story was over, the author personalized her signed books for the kids. I'm glad we went to this event because in addition to it being fun, we picked up several books and one of them has so quickly become a new favorite of my daughter's that she already can recite pages from it three days later. The bookstore is nice, and larger than I was expecting to be honest. It was fun to wander, even whilst trying to keep an eye on a toddler. They have various events, story time, fundraisers, and so on. I think it has the potential to be kind of a madhouse for some of their bigger events... it seemed a little unorganized getting folks in line for this signing and they don't really have a lot of space for folks to queue up so some people were cutting in front of folks so it might be kind of messy when there's a big event happening. But still, worth a stop if you like bookstores! There's lots of parking around on the street and even a municipal lot.

The Book Stall is a treasure. You can always find a great book from just browsing the shelves. If…read moreyou check their inventory on-line for a special book and it shows as being available, it will be! The author events are more than readings; they are intimate conversations.

When we met with her to see the rough draft, we assumed that was the time to make some modifications in font choices and design. Wow were we wrong. Instead she snapped at us and scolded us during the rest of the appointment over any changes we wanted made. The final products were so-so. For all of the stress working with her brought, it was definitely not worth it. I wish we would have either spent a little more money to go somewhere else with someone not so rude to her clients, or just made them ourselves and printed them at FedEx. Update: Per Kasey's comment below, a full refund was offered. Unfortunately that was not the case, otherwise we gladly would have taken it.

One of my customers, quite well-known in jewelry circles, mentioned that Kasey (the owner) , had planned her daughters' very elegant Chicago wedding for close to 300 people from all over, keeping her eye on the budget agreed upon, while fulfilling their very exacting wish list. I had seen some of the impressive photos & called Kasey to see what we she could come up with for a business anniversary VIP appreciation event, for a group of 50. The invitations really set the perfect tone, & Kasey followed through with some wonderful ideas for decor, music, food, & all the other lovely details that I probably would not have thought of... and all tied in perfectly with the rest of our company brand & made our best customers feel appreciated, while staying right on the budget. All of us brick & mortar businesses have to compete with the internet these days, but those online businesses just can't show the love and care we have for our customers.... and as a client of dBy, I could not be more pleased with the care & professionalism that made our event so exquisite and memorable! You made me & my company look fantastic... & I will be calling you about the branding topics we discussed!!(She's not just for weddings, folks!!) Thank you, thank you, thank you!! & just WOW!!!

The owner, Robin, and one of the other employees were fantastic at leading a group of 21 first grade girls through painting a mermaid tail (there were so many choices for the canvas painting - my daughter happened to choose this one). They can do them more or less complex based on the age group of the party. Robin was truly fantastic to work with. She took care of everything, including ordering pizzas from elsewhere in the mall. I brought the paper goods and cupcakes and everything else was handled. We were in a party room in the back that is utilitarian but also decorated. I definitely appreciated that there were separate tables for the art and the eating! I was perfectly happy to not be out in the front of the store with the general public. And the price was totally reasonable given everything that they did for us. Would definitely host another party here! We've also come on a random day just to do a walk in ceramic painting, which was also great. Lots of selections at all sorts of different price points. You can also do walk in canvas painting.

We eventually ended up forgoing this year because she's still so young she wouldn't fully appreciate the experience, but plan on going for some Mommy and me time. The staff that I was in touch with while planning the event were all so helpful, responsive, and friendly. Even when we decided to pass on holding the party there, after we had filled out the form and not yet put in the deposit, they were so understanding. They get high ratings, they're located conveniently in a mall where if you have youngers you can go to the playgrounds in the mall, and if you have olders, they can walk around and do a little independent shopping. Looking forward to visiting soon!
