Holy gorgeous!!! I worked with Stacey and the team at Steracle for my wedding invitations and I could not be more pleased. From our first meeting, Stacey was patient, thorough and really took the time to ensure we understood the process and what our options were. I was undecided about whether I needed a second envelope or not to protect the invitation in the mail - Stacey mailed me a sample suite so I could see how it arrived. She's the best! Our invitations were exactly as we wanted. I was really dreading this part of wedding planning, but Stacey made it so easy. Our invitations were simply stunning. Thanks, Stacey!! read more

Stacey is absolutely wonderful! I utilized Stacey's services for my Save the Dates, and I will be using her for our wedding invitations as well! When I first met with Stacey she sat down with me and asked about the different styles I liked and disliked. She pulled out samples of her work for me to look at during our first appointment. Additionally, during my first visit she gave me an idea of the overall price for her services based on the number of invitations I needed, card stock, envelopes, etc. Stacey did about 10 different samples for me on her computer. The entire process took about 3 weeks, which was great because I'm having a destination wedding and wanted to send my save the dates off as soon as possible. I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone interested in letterpress invitations! Her work is beautiful. read more

Stacey of Steracle Press is a true artist, and such a sweet person! I came to her with a specific vision and she worked sooo diligently to make it come to life! My invitations turned out stunning and I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her on them! Her prices are totally reasonable as well, I would even call them a bargain considering how much time and care she put into the whole process. Thank you Stacey!! I am eternally grateful and every time I need letterpress printing in the future, you will be my girl! read more

Stacey just finished personal cards for me and they are beautiful. I had a high level idea of what I liked, and she was able to create multiple options for me to review. It was hard to chose because all of them looked great! I'm really very happy with the results. read more

Thank you so much to Stacy and those at Steracle Press for our save the dates, invitations, and day of pieces. We received so many complements from all our of guests! It was so awesome to design our own pieces and also receive input for Stacy on what would work well. She is so talented, helpful, down to earth and was a great vendor to work with! We will cherish our wedding stationary forever. Everything was just perfect, and reasonably priced too!! read more

My husband and I worked with Steracle Press for our wedding invitations, place cards, ceremony programs, seating chart and more! They designed the complete and perfect package. Stacey and Vanessa were patient as we discussed custom designs and they had so many wonderful ideas. They listened to what our vision was and really made it come to life flawlessly. We received so many compliments on their work and I can honestly say that out of all our wedding vendors who were amazing, Steracle Press was our favorite! Highly recommend Steracle Press for all of your stationary needs - they are the BEST and we can't thank them enough. read more

A neighbor recommended Stacey (Steracle Press) to me after having used her for her wedding invitations. In need of some wedding invitations myself, I set up a meeting with Stacey to see what she was all about....and I could not be more impressed with the results. Stacey does the most beautiful and amazing letterpressed invitations (and other stationary - thank you cards, announcements, business cards, etc). She worked with me to custom design my wedding invitations and thank you cards, and I am so incredibly happy with the outcome - they are EXACTLY what I dreamed they could be. I never thought I would love a piece of paper so much. :) Stacey was extremely professional, very creative, and really took the time to understand what we were trying to create. She was also very responsive, respectful of our budget (and VERY reasonably priced for this type of work), and overall a true joy to work with. She is a talented artist and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to have any letterpress work created. I also love that she is a small shop and local - we all need to support our local small business owners! read more

Stacey is, without a doubt, one of my favorite people! I utilized her for my wedding save the dates, invitations, and thank you cards. I actually wish I could get married again so that I could work with over and over again. She is extremely creative and does everything from scractch, including the design work, letter pressing, and assembly, etc. She even worked directly with our calligrapher to ensure that everything was perfect. Stacey helped me design a monogram logo and we were able to carry the design throughout our entire wedding, including lighting, menu cards, and more. She came up with several designs and has an amazingly creative and high end eye (without the high end cost). My taste was higher than my wallet allowed, so Stacey helped me to come up with great solutions to give me what I wanted within my budget. If you are looking for one of kind letterpress designs, without the high end designer stationary prices, Stacey is your lady! She will work with your budget and won't stop until she knows that you're more than ecstatic about her work product. You will not regret using her! I love her so much that I find every excuse to continue to work with her, including other invitations, holiday cards, etc. read more

We hired Stacey and Steracle Press to do the invites and all the day-of print items for our wedding in March. My husband was pretty concerned when he saw all the flowers, lace and ribbons on my invite inspiration board and gave us the challenge of coming up with something that I was happy with but wasn't off-the-charts feminine. Stacey handled that challenge with ease. She had so many invitation styles and examples to choose from and that made it really easy for us (two not very creative people) to mix and match different elements that we liked from each one and form our own, very special invitation. She was even able to implement a custom laser cut design (that played off some of the other décor that would be at our wedding) into the pocket of the invite as well as the menus at our reception to give them a little added pizazz. When our guests started receiving our invites we got countless texts and emails about how beautiful, elegant and classic they were. When there were hiccups in the production or delivery of anything related to print, I didn't even hear about it, Stacey just handled it and everything was done on time and to an amazingly high standard, which is exactly what a bride looks for when hiring vendors to help with their wedding. If you're looking for a high quality, cost effective, quick, detail oriented vendor for your wedding print - I highly recommend Stacey and Steracle Press! read more

Stacey is absolutely amazing and her prices are totally reasonable (less then the crappy stuff you can get from the paper stores)! We used her for invitations, menus, place cards, programs and a custom made ketubah. She does letter press and printing and, as i said, is absolutely amazing. Our invitations were custom made and turned out beautifully. She worked with us through the design and was very easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. We also really couldn't find a ketubah that we liked and wanted to have one custom made that represented our relationship more. Aside from the difficulty in getting hebrew into a usable format, i couldn't have been more pleased with how it turned out. She hand drew (and then turned it into letterpress) the design for us. Of all our wedding vendors, Stacey was absolutely, hands down, the best. I can't speak highly enough for the amazing work that she did to help us with all our printing needs. read more

I just picked my my 250+ invitations from Stacey - and I couldn't be happier. She was lovely to work with to design the invitation, and helped create exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The letterpress is beautiful and rich looking, the info card with custom map is perfect, and the design is stunning and fits perfectly with our themes. Everything was exactly on time. Absolutely perfect. read more

Thank you to Stacey for putting together our wedding invitation , our reception pieces the way we wanted.

This review is LONG overdue. Stacey and team were among our favorite wedding vendors. We had met with a few others and are so happy we chose her team. Stacey created the most gorgeous wedding invitation suite for us (invite, map, RSVP card, and reception card). We are still receiving compliments over a year later. She showed us various options that combined our ideas, her artistic talents, and our tastes. As someone who appreciates the smallest detail, I will note that she focuses on every detail from gorgeous belly band options to the beautiful detail on the envelopes to the appearance of each letter of the font to debating shades of pink and green. She guides you through the process and creates something stunning! In the end, she letterpressed a hand drawing of our church, the cultural center, Chicago landmarks, the dome in the cultural center, gorgeous fonts, and some beautiful overlapping design elements. Her attention to detail also flowed through to incredible quality control on every invitation - they were perfect! She also provided us with various alternatives to help us balance cost. Overall, we found her prices reasonable for the quality of letterpress and labor involved. We loved our invitations so much that we asked her to do brunch and rehearsal dinner cards that preserved the invitation style while adding a bit of flair. She incorporated some French and some Polish for us, which added to the style. From there, she did gift bag booklets, menus, programs, table numbers, escort cards, and a series of signs for our bars, bathrooms, and front door. Everything looked incredible and created a beautiful theme. Stacey went ABOVE AND BEYOND.....messengering paper to my office, meeting me in a parking lot for a pickup, letting us come over 3 days before our wedding as she stayed late at the office to help us punch program holes, etc. I literally cannot say enough good things about Stacey and her team in terms of service, quality, artistic talent and responsiveness. I still talk about her all of the time and am currently working on framing our invites for our home; they are that beautiful! read more

Stacey printed our wedding invitations and we could not be HAPPIER! She did such an amazing job. She was so easy to work with! She was so responsive to emails, kept us updated on the progress of everything and did SUCH an amazing job. I never thought I would be this excited about a wedding invite, but she is so talented. I am so happy I am looking for things such as thank you cards that I could have her do. I will DEFINITELY be recommended her to friends! Thank you!!!! read more

Stacey is amazing!! We cannot say enough great things about her. She designed our wedding invitations and a few more pieces for our wedding. Stacey did a wonderful job helping bring our ideas to reality. She is so easy to work with, extremely helpful, knowledgeable, dependable, and reasonably priced. My finace and I are so grateful we found Stacey and had the opportunity to work with her. Our wedding invitation design was a priority for us and Stacey definitely exceeded our expectations. We have received so many compliments on our invitations. Thank you Stacey! read more

My bride and I really cannot recommend Steracle Press enough. Stacey is very creative, very helpful, and very accommodating. She created unique save the dates, wedding invitations, and other weeding paper collateral that everyone raved about. The best part? It cost about the same as the cookie cutter stuff you get online. This review is short so you don't waste too much time reading it and are able to call Stacy sooner! read more

We had Steracle Press create our invitation suite and all day-of paper goods (menus, programs, seating cards) for our May 2018 wedding and were blown away by their beautiful creations! Initially, my husband and I had only a vague idea about the design of our paper suite but Stacey was incredibly patient and thorough in helping us design a completely custom look that we were thrilled with! She sat down with us and our wedding planner Lauren P from LOLA Event Productions to discuss preferences about every detail, including font, paper thickness, color choice, and wording for our letterpress invitation suite and helped select some beautiful greenery for digital printing to add another dimension to our suite. We were blown away by how beautiful the invitation suite turned out and received dozens of compliments from friends and family about the beauty and quality of the invitations! Hiring Stacey to do our day-of paper goods was a no-brainer after our amazing experience working with the Steracle Press team for our invitations and it was so special to having matching menus, programs, and place settings for our wedding day! In addition to the immense talent that Steracle Press brings to their paper goods design, we also had a fantastic working relationship. Everyone who works at Steracle Press is polite and friendly, easy to get in contact with/responsive to email, and a joy to work with. Stacey's very reasonable pricing for these beautiful paper goods is the cherry on top! Thank you so much, Steracle Press! We look forward to working with you in the future for all of our paper goods needs :) read more

We cannot say enough nice words for our experience working with Stacey of Steracle Press. Being both creatives, we had a distinct vision in mind for how we wanted our letterpress invitation to be. She guided us on choices for achieving what we had in mind, tips to get the best results, etc. We received very personalized attention, which is sometimes hard to come by nowadays. She was very easy to work with and very skilled at her craft, which is what made our invites reach another level! We have gotten SO many compliments on them! Thanks Steracle Press!! read more

If there is something you need while planning a wedding it is someone professional, fast, kind, creative, and that cares about quality. Those are all words I would use to describe stacey at Steracle Press. She did my wedding invitations and menus and layout for a few other things. They look amazing! She was so fast and so on top of things, I have been so impressed!!! If anyone is looking for an affordable and quality option for any printing needs, I more than highly recommend Stacey at Steracle Press. What a class act! Thanks for everything you helped me with Stacey, you made my big day even better! A++ read more

Stacey is AMAZING! she was awesome to work with, listened to what I was envisioning and has been a GOD SEND. We started thinking about invitations a little late and Stacey was able to create what I had originally wanted but BETTER and in a timely manner so now the invitations will not be super tardy. I can't wait to see what else she'll be able to come up with in regards to the menu, place cards, etc. I am so glad i found her on yelp!! read more

Stacey did an amazing job with our wedding invites. They turned out even better than what we imagined. She's open to new ideas and gives great advise. We received so many compliments on our invites- they were unique and really represented us. read more

I loved working with Stacey so so much. I went in with no invitation ideas and kind of stressed out. She accommodated to my terrible schedule and met with me at 7:30pm which no other vendor has ever done. We looked at a ton of different designs and she helped steer me in the right direction. In terms of pricing she is the best. I had a budget to stick to and she gave me options every step of the way to help keep me on track. For letter press she is extremely reasonable. When we picked them up, I could not have been happier. Every time I look at them I fall a little more in love. I have gotten numerous texts about the invitations and how pretty they were. She was nice, accommodating, and I was so lucky to get to work with her. I have been recommending her to everyone I know! read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would! Stacey is a true professional and does amazing work. Her letterpress skills are really unique. She helped me with my wedding invitations, and needless to say, they turned out perfect. From the design process, to mixing the exact colors on the invitation, to picking the correct weight of paper to get clear, crisp imprints, to doing a very personal touch of edging -- the whole process from beginning to end was really easy. She's really talented and easy to work with. I highly recommend working with Steracle Press for any of your printing needs. Stacey is a joy to work with!! read more

My experience with Stacey at Steracle Press was absolutely flawless! I had over 200 wedding invitations made and Stacey helped me customize them every step of the way. Everything was printed quickly and without issue. She is a fabulous artist and even drew my mothers house for the map, which was then made into letterpress. The map is a work of art by itself! My invitation is stunning - on thick paper with gold edges - and my RSVP cards are hexagons... totally unique and reflective of our wedding style. The whole set will definitely be framed and kept in our family forever. I especially love that everything is made in-house; it was so cool being able to see the press where they were being made. Thank you to Stacey for making this step of the wedding process stress-free and for helping to make it a truly unique invitation! read more

If every small business was a Steracle Press there would only be happy customers. The experience to work with Stacey and Vanessa was almost magical. They designed and produced all of the elegant and timeless printed materials for our daughter's wedding. We have had so many compliments and are thankful for having had the opportunity to work with someone who truly honors their profession. read more

I would give Stacey 10 stars if available!!! I was unbelievably thankful and amazed to have Stacey by my side through a somewhat crazy wedding planning. My venue changed literally a few days before my invitations were supposed to be printed (not awesome) but I emailed and Stacey responded right away and said she could hold off printing so that I wouldn't have to REprint everything. Fast fwd a couple weeks and then of course I'm in a time crunch. Got a new location, made a new map, etc and she was able to beautifully letterpress invitations and addresses on envelopes in record speed. She helped me design exactly how and what I wanted in my wedding invitation suite. She was thorough and good about double checking before getting started. I cannot even express in words my gratitude or how wonderful my experience was with her. THANK YOU STACEY!!! When I use letterpress in the future, there is no doubt I will return to her. Price wise, she was less expensive than most big companies and the 1v1 interaction/communication is such a huge bonus! I also LOVED being able to support someone local! read more
