I worked with Simply Stated to create the signage for our wedding. Marcela was the consummate professional. She was so efficient and communicative, and had great feedback on the ideas that I presented to her. Our photographer didn't take that many shots at our wedding of Marcela's work, but she made the placecards, table names, signage for the bars and the guest phone, welcome sign and even printed our thank you cards, all of which included our wedding motif. I would highly recommend Simply Stated Stationary to anyone who has a professional printing need. read more

We had a Lord of the Rings themed wedding in Mexico May 2022, and having script that matched the theme was abSOlutely necessary. We asked Marcela to help us recreate the Hobbit script on our menus and name cards, and she exceeded our expectation. I am personally a firm believer in supporting local businesses and love that she is just down the road from us, making it a very easy process for us, especially in the final pieces of our wedding planning. I absolutely love her esthetic and how straight forward she was. She didn't try to push extra unnecessary stuff on us and in fact steered me away from trying to do other things. I really appreciated that. Truly amazing job, we can't recommend Simply Stated enough :) read more

Simply Stated Stationery - Lord of the Rings script menu for our wedding - Printing Services Near Me - Burbank, California

We hired Marcela and Simply Stated for our wedding signage, table cards, rehearsal dinner signage, bar menu and little odds and ends. Her work is very creative. Marcela took our ideas and ran with it, including a request to sneak photos of our cat into various signage. We had cancellations that ran right up to the last minute and Marcela was able to accommodate late changes to the table cards closer to the wedding date than we had expected. (Having a wedding during Omicron created some extenuating circumstances!) Everything looked great, the quality of the paper and the printing was top level. Marcela delivered everything we needed and was easy to work with. Thanks Simply Stated! read more

Simply Stated did an amazing job with the signage for our wedding! We gave her the not so small task of making a hexagon acrylic seating chart and the end result was better than we ever expected! Her designs were exquisite, personal, and a great touch for the overall aesthetic of our wedding. We had a great experience working with her through our wedding planner--she's simply amazing at what she does! read more

My boyfriend and I found out we were pregnant and decided we wanted to get married before the baby came and before I got too BIG. We are literally panning a wedding in two months. A genius Friend of my named Jill recommended Marcela. I emailed Marcela right away and told her my situation and what I was looking for. She promptly returned my email letting me know she could do exactly what I was looking for, I wanted something Simple yet classy that incorporated my colors and that's just want I got! My invitations couldn't be more me. I was able to pick up my invites at her Studio in less then a week. This means i can send them out with plenty of time which is a HUGE relief since I'm already giving my guests short notice. You can look around all you want for the perfect invitations but in my opinion there is no need to waste all that time when Marcela can create the perfect invitation for you. -Soon to be Mrs. DeSwarte read more

Marcela is SO GOOD at what she does. I am used to having a particular vision for something and having the reality fall short of that vision. However, I was stunned when she delivered a custom designed invitation that far exceeded my expectations. Her creation perfectly evoked the feeling of our destination wedding's location. No idea how she did that, but she did. Our guests were even calling us to ask how we found invitations that so perfectly matched the feel of the location. She is so creative and tasteful that I began to defer to her during decision making (I never do that with anyone). Not only did she deliver something even more striking and beautiful than what I envisioned, Marcela was also so fun to work with. She's high energy, no-nonsense, and very funny. She asks questions to get to know you and listens to your responses. Also, I thought her prices were very fair for the product you get. My only regret is now that the wedding is over, I have no reason to see her. :( read more

Ahhhh where do I begin? Marcela is brilliantly talented and has an eye and ear for all your needs. From our save the dates, invites, to signage, she was top notch the best and outdid herself every time! I'm so grateful I found her to add the perfect touch to my wedding :) read more

I am a wedding photographer who has worked with the incredible Simply Stated Stationery at a shoot/event. Their work is incredible and they are always such a delight to work with. Simply Stated is on our preferred vendor list for client invitations/day of paper goods and signage and we always recommend them to our clients looking excellent service and an impeccable finished product. read more

Marcela's design for our wedding invitations was perfect. My wife and I had trouble describing what we were picturing, but she took our vague ideas and made it amazing. For the wedding itself, she designed our programs, menus, table cards and made this awesome welcome sign on a mirror. Again, we didn't have the words to describe the vision but she somehow read our minds. We ordered a proof for the first draft of the invitation, which I do recommend just so you know everything is right. We also thought her prices were very reasonable overall, except that we had hoped that the proof price would go toward the final cost for our order. read more

My fiancé and I found Marcela through her impeccable Yelp reviews and decided to have her be our first call for our wedding invitations. After speaking with her for about five minutes, I knew we wouldn't be making any second calls. She is AWESOME. We are not super traditional people and wanted something a little offbeat- we were recreating a record album cover- and Marcela was excellent at communication, understanding what we wanted, got our vibe immediately, and (very quickly) turned out the coolest invitations i've ever seen. Everyone who has received them have said something along those same lines. Collaborating with someone you don't know personally to create something, well, personal, can be kind of nerve-wracking because you aren't sure if they will really "get" you. Let me tell you, this woman is intuitive. She felt my fiancé and I out immediately, knew what we wanted, and set to work. She emailed us proofs along the way and we would throw out suggestions here and there, she would turn it around and shoot it right back to us. And when you email her, expect a response within minutes. She wastes NO time. Such a professional. She even came up with ideas for the invite that completely enhanced our vision- things we had never thought of. So it truly felt like a collaboration. And again, this process was so fast. So if you are beginning to shop around for someone to help you with stationery or graphic design needs, just do yourself a favor and call her first. I doubt you'll make a second call. read more

Marcela is creative and easy to work with, great input and lots of experience with every different kind of invite, stationary, paper product. Had seen some of her other work and was impressed. We had her do our wedding invites and save the date invites and couldn't be happier YAY! Professional but not stuffy, creative but focussed, We threw out a bunch of general likes and dislikes and she distilled all of our suggestions and came up with exactly what we needed...Highly recommend her!

She made the already stressful process of opening a new business a lot less stressful. Simply stated is the best! read more

Marcella worked hand in hand with my wife and I in creating our wedding invites. We were having a destination wedding in New Orleans, in no time Marcela wiped up a very elegant invitation with the New Orleans theme. She even help make little street maps for the invitations of the city for our guest so everyone knew how to get to the church and the venue. She did such a great job on the invites we had her do our programs, name cards, table signs and seating chart. She even came up with the idea to name each table after popular street names in new Orleans and to have the table signs look like street signs. We did have quotes from other vendors to find out Simple Stated Stationary was clearly, the most reasonable priced and the best product. Simply, we had a great experience working with Marcela and would recommend her to anyone. read more

We ordered our save the date cards, wedding shower invites, wedding invites, and thank you cards from Simply Stated Stationery....all of them tied together and they were absolutely beautiful. The cost was much more affordable and reasonable then any other place I had gone to & yet the quality was so much better. Everyone that received them complimented us on how beautiful the quality of the paper was, the look of the design and text too. I was so pleased with Marcela's work, she was so helpful with giving us options and sending us the templates for approval before printing. She even allowed us to add an insert in spanish so we can have some english and some with a spanish insert for my fiances family. I would absolutely recommend using Simply Stated Stationery for your wedding invites or for any special occassion, they come out better then you expect and they are so affordable. read more

Marcela at Simply Stated was a delight to work with. I sought her out for our wedding invitations and she nailed it. I didn't know I could be so excited about wedding invitations. Marcela was attentive and considerate. We worked well together via email and text. When I had concerns about designs she listened and somehow went on to excel all expectations. Not only was Marcela a straight shooter and easy to work with but it made me feel good to support an independently-run, female-owned business. Good prices! Great work! Thank you Simply Stated for making this process so easy for me. read more

I was looking for a very specific type of invitation and after looking through all of the online invitation companies & Etsy I could not find what I was looking for. Through a stroke of luck I came across Simply Stated Stationary while browsing through invitation images on Google. I reached out to Marcela & she was absolutely great! I explained to her what I was looking for and she assured me that she could create a custom invitation with no problem. Within a few days I had a beautiful invitation, BETTER than I envisioned, emailed to me. My expectations we far exceeded after receiving the invitations in the mail. The paper quality was great and I loved the way she printed the return address on the envelope. I highly recommend Simply Stated Stationary & cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Marcela! read more

Simply Stated Stationery - Absolutely love my custom invitations created by Simply Stated Stationary! - Printing Services Near Me - Burbank, California

Two words that describe Marcela are patient & fast! I used SSS for my wedding. She created my customized save the dates, invitations, tent cards, table numbers and even my bridal shower invitations :) With each item, Marcela took the time to come up with a custom design that truly represented me. As a bride, I was often stressed and pressed for time and Marcella always went above and beyond to meet my crazy demands and budget. Anything Marcella touches is classy, elegant & gorgeous. My guests STILL talk about how goregous my invitations were :) Thank you Marcela for being so patient with me.... SSS is the very best! read more

Marcela is a true gem. She listens to what each of my 2 daughters wanted for their wedding invitations and came through beautifully. She simplified the whole process of figuring out what we needed on the invitations and made the invitations truly an easy task. Marcela just completed a beautiful baby announcement for our new grandson. Completely what my daughter wished for. We couldn't have been happier. read more

I spoke with Marcella over the phone about a graphic design project I was interested in doing, she gave me an estimate over the phone and suggested meeting up to go over the project. When I arrived, I realized that it was her home that we were meeting at, and not an office. At the meeting the price went up from 250$ to 500$, which I was ok with. I texted her a few days after, cause she never emailed me the quote in writing, to which she texted back that the price is now apparently a 1000$ and she miscalculated the amount of work she need to for it. I feel like it was very unprofessional of her to change her pricing 3 times and disrespectful to my time, making me drive all the way to her house ( in the valley) for nothing. read more

Marcela is truly an artist and she dedicates every part of who she is to her work. I've had the pleasure of knowing her long before she started the company and I couldn't be happier to see how successful she's become so quickly. It's no surprise considering her invitations/stationary are beyond creative and one of a kind. She's always coming up with new, fun, and modern ideas that blow me away. She also works in a timely fashion and is very patient and understanding. If you want to impress your guests with the best invitations around, call Simply Stated Stationary. You won't be disappointed! read more

Marcela created beautiful fans and a cup design for my upcoming wedding. Everything was gorgeous and the turn around was so quick. She put thought and detail into the pieces and it shows. Thank you Marcela! read more

Marcela (AKA Super Fabulous #1 of all time) is AMAZING! My save the dates and invitations were all done by Simply Stated and they turned out beautiful. I can't say enough wonderful things about Marcela. Her talents are amazing and she truly makes beautiful, classy invitations. Oh and her prices are well..umm Fabulous! I am her number one fan. She really customizes to make exactly what you have in mind. Everything is shown to you before you purchase so you know exactly what you are buying. I just can't stop raving about the Save The Dates and Invitations. She is highly highly recommended. read more

This is a long over due review for Marcela. When I found her I was near a breakdown. My friend's company was going to do the invitations for my wedding. It all fell through so I was only weeks away from needing to mail invitations and was about to go with an internet site when I found Simply Stated. I sent her an email with an invite I liked. She called me and said no problem. That night I was meeting with her to make a deposit. She never let me down. The quality was amazing. The first batch were printed on darker stock, at no fault of hers. I was willing to accept them but she would not let me take them and insisted that they be re-printed and assured me that they would be done on time. She was right. The second set were amazing and I received them with plenty of time to spare. The whole process was smooth and a pleasure. read more

Marcela made custom invitations for my wedding-- and I am in love with my invitations! I had been stalling to do my invitations because I had no idea what I really wanted to do, but I gave a few ideas to Marcela and she just ran with it. The final result was original and beautiful. (And she never once complained about the number of changes my husband and I gave her). Simply Stated gives you the customer service of a small business but the variety of a large stationary business, at a price point below most. read more

Marcela brought my vision to life. I was looking for a unique wedding invitation that was both elegant and fun. Marcela did a great job in creating my perfect invite. So much so that I also had her make my seating chart in the same design. Marcela emailed me every step of the way while creating my design and most importantly she delivered what she said she would for the price she said ON TIME which as we all know is the biggest issue when planning a wedding. If you are looking for a unique design then this is definitely the place you want to check out. read more

Marcela is a DREAM to work with. Everything about planning a wedding is daunting from the cost to deciding on a theme, and Marcela made everything seamless. Marcela is candid, honest, creative and will literally bring your vision to life. She is flexible with budgets and at one point said "Do you want to cover the wound or keep bleeding? I am happy to make table cards or acrylic name plates depending on what you want to spend at this point." We worked with Marclea on custom blue/gold nautical wedding invitations, matching wedding programs, acrlyic hectagon name plates, table numbers and a breathtaking 3 paneled table acrylic seating chart which we transported to Playa Del Carmen. She literally will make ANYTHING happen with her creative, problem-solving attitude. Her instagram is a wonderful display of the work she produces. Marcela has an amazing sense of humor and has experienced every bride/groom personality out there. She immediately knows how to work with clients of all types. I wish I could use her over and over again. read more

Marcela is the best! I love her designs and she is always open to my ideas and suggestions. She has done all my invitations - wedding, bridal shower, baby shower, 1st birthday party, and each one is better than the last! I am always 100% happy with her work which is why I keep coming back. Invitations help to set the tone of your event so no evites for me. read more

HIRE THIS LADY NOW! Use your search time for other issues! There are no words to express the excellence in creativity, performance, attitude, expedience and price. Regarding price, she should charge at least 4x the amount she does. - and I'm a tight wad! Our project was for a large non-profit event attended by very well-heeled guests We were receiving free printing servces so we had a very tight deadline we could not abuse. Our dilemma was that we continued to receive auction items for inclusion in the tribute book that we did not want to turn down. Marcela continued to add and reformat the book with each new donation until the moment of deadline. When the printer received the file, he told me Marcela's work was so impeccable that we could have extra time to add more auction items. He also commented on the high level of sophistication in her work. This is coming from a print company that does high-end work for very detailed clients. Again, I say HIRE THIS LADY NOW! read more

Simply Stated is simply amazing! Marcela did my wedding invites and save the dates and the end product totally exceeded my expectations. Many of my guests told me that my invites were the most beautiful wedding invites they had ever seen. Marcela is incredibly talented and creative and will make sure that you are 100%satisfied with your order. She also uses the highest quality materials at a very reasonable price (I did a lot of research). If you are looking for gorgeous, high quality, customizable stationary at an affordable price, then you really do not need to look any further. read more

Shortly after getting a venue picked out for my wedding I started looking around for stationary services. One of my bridesmaids suggested Simply Stated Stationary and said they had a really great experience with them in the past. I checked out the website and contacted the owner, Marcela, to get some general information regarding her work. I currently live in Monterey, CA and knew that she was located in LA. I initially thought that I would have to look for other options since I wouldn't be able to meet with Marcela in person. I was wrong, she actually video chatted with me through her Iphone and showed me samples and ideas, real time! It was really wonderful that she was so flexible and willing to meet with me that way. I shared some of my ideas with her and she then came up with some samples to show me. I was really impressed with the professionalism and creativity of her products and at that point I was sold! She came up with several proof options and I was able to choose my favorite out of those. She printed our invitations and sent them straight to my front door. She also did our seating chart for the reception and our thank you cards! Everything turned out great and I got many compliments on how great our stationary looked. Overall I had a great experience and would highly recommend this company! read more

Marcela and Simply Stated Stationary are simply the best! I recently had my first baby and Marcela designed both my birth announcements and my baptism invitations. She pulled everything together with almost zero leg-work on my part, which was much appreciated with a new little one consuming all of my time and energy. Her designs were PERFECT, exactly what i wanted - so cute and creative. She made everything so easy and stress free. I can't thank Marcela enough. I will definitely use Simply Stated in the future. read more

Marcela did a wonderful job with our wedding invitations. She was incredibly responsive via email and whipped up three awesome options based on the little information I gave her. She was totally accepting of the fact that we were keeping things pretty simple and minimal and did not try to push more expensive options on us. We met with her in her office to finalize the design, and she incorporated our ideas and advised us on various options. The printing was prompt and incredibly reasonably priced. Many of our friends commented on how our invitation would stay on their refrigerator for a long time! Highly recommended. read more
