"Brenna was amazing!!! I live in Texas and Brenna's studio is in California, so there was definately some distance between us; but I felt like her studio was down the street from me. That is one of the main reasons we chose Brenna to do our invitations: she ALWAYS responded immediately to all my emails and phone calls. Brenna is unbelievably talented and she is a genious when it comes invitations. We loved working with her so much that we also used her for our rehearsal dinner invitations, table number cards, and rehearsal dinner menus. It was a pleasure working with Brenna and I cannot wait to use her again!!! We have found our "invitation specialist" for life!"

"Hi Brenna,
I wanted to let you know that we have received so many compliments on the invitations! I've had wedding planners and guests bragging and showing them to everyone! "Elegant, classy, and the best invitations ever" have been some of the feedback! Now we hope the wedding looks as great as the invites! Thanks again for your beautiful work!"
Danielle Carpenter, Seaside, CA
"I LOVE BRENNA!! She was one of my favorite vendors - professional, easy to work with, and the invites were BEAUTIFUL! I was looking for invites that were exceptional, and I was really bummed to find the same wedding pocket invites in all the catalogues and websites. I came across Brenna's business card from the bridal fair and I emailed her. She quickly responded and was able to set up an appointment right away. When she showed me her work I was really impressed! My husband and I liked her, she was very amiable so we signed a contract with her. A few days later she emailed me the invitation layouts. She listened to our request and she customized the invites exactly the way we wanted it. It was really nice of her to drop off the wedding invites at my work. When I saw the invites I was so speechless. They were just how I wanted them but so much better. My guests at the wedding had wonderful comments about them, and someone said it was the "prettiest and classiest invites" she's ever seen. My husband and I were impressed with Brenna and her work."

"Brenna,
Thank you for all that you did to make our wedding stationery outstanding. We wanted something that truly reflected our personalities, and you made that happen. You had such a creative sense for our wine themed wedding - every time we saw a mockup, we were thrilled to see our vision become a reality. Even nine months after our wedding, we are still getting compliments on our invitations. They really made a statement and set the tone for the event. You were terrific to work with - we appreciated your flexibility, creativity, personal attention and fair pricing. I will continue to recommend you to anyone else I know who is getting married. Thanks again for everything!"

"If you want an elegant, amazing, beautiful and thought out wedding invitation then you must use Brenna! My husband and I first met Brenna when we were at a Bridal Fair in San Jose. We wanted an invitation to start off of what we wanted the Guest to expect of our wedding. We had our wedding at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. A truely elegant event that deserved the most amazing invitation. When we saw her booth at the fair, we knew right then and there this was it. She has beautiful ideas. Our wedding colors were black, white and red. We got the Thai silk portfolio invitations which were wrapped with a red ribbon with a poker chip (pre-favor) in the middle of the ribbon. We had the most amazing feedback from all of our friends and family that received the invitation. They knew from that invitation that we were really going to put on a show! We met with Brenna on several occasions to go over every last intricate detail of the invitation. They were truely "over-the-top" invitations. She is very talented! I would and have recommened her to all of my friends and family!"
Tanya, San Jose, CA
"Brenna was the BEST vendor of all the ones I worked with for my Wedding. No one had ever seen more beautiful invitations than the ones she created! She does beautiful, flawless invitations, and is wonderful to work with!"
Donna, Pacific Grove, CA
"'First impressions are lasting impressions' and that definitely was the case for my elegant wedding invitations Brenna Catalano Design Studio created for my November 2010 wedding.
I also had menu cards and thank you notes that were equally as elegant.
I received so many compliments on how beautiful my invitations were that they just knew how beautiful they wedding would be to follow...just because of the invitation!"
Vicki, Fort Myers, FL
"Brenna at Brenna Catalano Design Studio was the best vendor to work with! She was always available and very eager to work with me to make sure the designs were exactly what I wanted - she really let me customize the design and colors. Brenna provided ceremony programs, wine labels and escort cards for me, and I wish I had found her soon enough to do my invitations as well! All the items were perfectly coordinated and really pulled together the theme and color scheme of my wedding. The products were extremely professionally done and gorgeous. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her!"

"Hi Brenna,
Thank you so much for the stationery, we received it on Tuesday afternoon and when I came back from work I was happily surprised by the gift wrapping and it felt like opening presents :o) Everything is perfect and if you lived in my neighbourhood I would have stopped by to bring you flowers. It's gorgeous! Some of my friends already got the invitation and were delighted by the details.
It has been great working with you, I knew immediately I could trust you with the details and I am happy about your dedication, eye for detail and speed. Thank you!!!!!"

I had a very specific invitation in mind that I was designing with a friend of mine - Brenna was a huge help in working with the layout and advising on some unique personal touches to add. She went above and beyond to make the invitations look exactly how I wanted them and was super accessible and responsive. Her work exceeded my expectations. Thank you Brenna!"

Thank you so much for all you did. Your work is beautiful!"
The invitations and thank you notes you created for the party were absolutely perfect! We received countless comments about your creativity and attention to detail.

"Hi Brenna,
I received the birth record print yesterday by Fed Ex in plenty of time before my grand-daughter's baby shower. It's going to look gorgeous in her nursery. I wanted to tell you that I was very impressed with your attention to customer service which far exceeded my expectations. It was a pleasure to do business with you."
Marilyn- Ontario, Canada
"Thank you so much for the beautiful artwork. Not only did it only take one week from order to delivery, but the artwork comes beautifully wrapped, ready to give as a gift. The detail and special attention you put into each piece really shows. The colors are perfect for my son’s room and the fact that it has my son’s name on it makes it even more special. This is a piece of artwork that will always be treasured by my family. Again, thank you so much for this special gift. We will pass your business card onto friends & family to give as a gift. What a special way to welcome a new child into this world, or just to show a child how important they are to you."
The Zarou Family, Belmont, CA
"I just wanted to let you know that I received the wall art and it's gorgeous! I'd been looking for a personalized piece for my daughter's room for quite awhile and this fit the bill perfectly. I'm very impressed with the quality of the print and the attention to detail. I hope you don't mind if I pass along your contact info to the other moms in my playgroup. I absolutely LOVED the print!!"

It is hanging in his room and it looks great! I will pass your cards out to the mommies in my playgroup. Best of luck to you in your business--I am sure that you will do well."
Marija B., Alamo, CA
"I was so excited to see that my package had arrived today, and could hardly wait to get it open. As I opened the lovingly wrapped box, the artwork inside literally took my breath away! The ballet slipper piece is absolutely darling, and is going to look perfect in her bedroom. Your art is heirloom quality, and will be something my daughter will cherish for years to come."
Jolie Rozema, Sonoma, CA
"I am so pleased with the wall art I ordered from you Brenna! My niece and nephew will enjoy thier beautiful paintings for many years. My sister-in-law said they are the perfect addition to their rooms. You are so talented and very easy to work with."
Julie Chobanian, Salinas, CA
"Our matted Surf Shack personalized print arrived! It was gift ready, beautifully packaged with a lovely yellow satin ribbon and a white gift box. We love it! The colors are so rich and vibrant and the details are charming. We got it for our toddler, and it's so nice we've decided to incorporate a beach/surf theme into his room. We believe this quality piece will really stand the test of time and grow with him. We've read that literacy is important in a child's room, and that you can't over emphasize writing their name. It's a really interesting, imaginative touch to have such a nice piece of art personalized. Thank you so much! We are so pleased, and will share your web site with our friends."
The Holdbrook Family, Palo Alto, CA
"The artwork arrived on time just as you said it would, and with an email notification for tracking. It was so nice to know when to expect my package due to hectic schedules! The package presentation was beautiful with a white box and pink bow. It was so exciting to open. Your Artwork is just perfect the colors are soft and will match Allie's room decor beautifully. The quality is excellent with thick paper and matting. It was so nice to be able to choose my own matting colors. I loved all your fonts and the one I chose is perfect for little Allie! I will definitely recommend you to every one of my friends and patients that are having or have had babies and children. I know your print will be up in Alllie's room for several years!!"
Jennifer Holderby, San Diego, CA
"The birth announcement I ordered for my son just arrived and I love it!!! The artwork is wonderful and the lettering is crisp and pleasing to the eye. The bowtie wrapped gift box that it arrived in is lovely and anyone would be thrilled to receive it in the mail as a present. Your website is easy to navigate and there are several beautiful pictures to choose from. The many choices of lettering and mat colors make this a very unique and original gift for children of all ages."
Kristen La Rosa, San Bruno, CA
"The birth record I ordered for my daughter has arrived and it is beautiful! The artwork is beautiful and the detail and quality overall is really impressive.
