BRIDES BEWARE!! DO NOT USE Beth DeRidder! I am getting married in about 8 months so I sat down with Beth to work on our Save the Dates (this is usually when you begin the process of working on them, because it can take several drafts to get it right). Well after I e-mailed her the picture I wanted she told me we would have a draft to look at by the end of the work week (which means friday to most of us). Monday afternoon I decided to e-mail her just to see if she knew when they might be ready, I specified it was no rush, I was just excited to see them. Later that afternoon she sent me the proofs, but when I opened them I was highly disappointed. They had completely distorted the picture I sent them into a graphic type image (not sure the proper term), but it did not look like an actual picture. She had left off several things we had talked about, but not a huge deal. So after looking at them I just sent her a polite e-mail asking why the image looked like that, and honestly I was just more confused than anything. I also mentioned a few things that needed to be added, since they were things I had asked her to do the first time.I told her this was a great place to start but I just needed these things fixed (and I specified no specific time frame), I really did not think this was a big deal. Well, about an hour later I got an extremely nasty e-mail from her, which made me really upset. She told me I had no patience , her exact words were "these things take time and patience, which clearly you have none". I had never really rushed her. Then she went on to tell me that she did not want to work with me because of my attitude. I have showed my e-mail correspondence to several people, and every single person was completely shocked at the way she reacted to my e-mail and agreed that I was in no way rude or mean in my e-mails. She was so rude to me I spent half of my day in tears. All I was trying to do was to make sure they were right, which I am sure is a common thing. We had planned to use her for our invitations as well, but now we will not be using her for anything. I am so mad that we wasted over 2 weeks working with her on our save the dates and invitations. If you have ever planned a wedding you know how stressful it can be, and this lady has made this whole process three times more stressful on us. I have never been treated (as a customer) so disrespectfully and it was completely uncalled for. We will NEVER use this company for anything again.

As a former bride and current customer of Columbia Printing and Graphics, I cannot say enough positive things about the entire team. I have hosted numerous showers and parties over the past few years and they always provide the perfect invitation, program or flyer for me. Their talent and expertise is evident in their work. Part of the design process is to try new ideas and they are always willing to create a few options and make all of the necessary edits to make the invitations exactly how the should be (and how I want them!). Beth knows all of the proper etiquette for invitations and the latest trends. I trust them wholeheartedly, and I absolutely love working with them. You will not regret it!! I highly recommend Columbia Printing and Graphics to anyone needing brochures, invitations, flyers, programs, posters, business cards....and just about any other printing need!

I definately recommend Columbia Printing and Graphics!! BETH IS AWESOME! I got married last May, and I had everything that needed to be printed done by Beth! Koozies, signs, napkins, invites... Even my Mother-in-law loved everything so much that she used her for Rehearsal dinner needs! Everything for both events went together so perfectly. By the end of my planning, I was a little stressed, and just let Beth make some of the decisions. That is how much faith I had in her skills and knowledge! I have recommended her to all of my friends that got engaged and they all ended up loving her! I know I will use Columbia Printing and Graphics for anything else I need in the future and continue to speak highly of and recommend them to anyone! Thanks again, Beth! You helped make my day stress-free!

I am a tough customer to please. They mocked up several designs for business cards for me which I decided to scrap after I found some more interesting, modern looking business cards online. I thought I should at least ask if they could do something similar and to my surprise they actually mocked it up in Photoshop for me and didnt change the price. I was able to get exactly what I wanted and have it ready within a day. Not to mention the cards were about 1/5 the cost of the shop I found online. Happy to shop local. Also a good reminder that you never know unless you ask. Thanks again guys. Good work

I worked mostly with Scott and Tom on my wedding invitations. After I sent them what I wanted, they had proofs emailed to me in two days. They offered to have me come in to see a proof in person before they were printed, though the digital proofs were exactly what the physical proofs would look like. After I approved the invitations, they were printed within hours, and I picked them up that afternoon! They even made a suggestion to turn my RSVP cards into postcards to save me money on envelopes and offered to address them for me! Ill be using them again for my announcements!

Tiffany is awesome! My fiancee and I worked with her on our ceremony & wedding invitations and everything turned out perfect. She was polite, timely, and very helpful. For those of you soon-to-be-married couples out there, Im sure you can relate when I say that planning a wedding can be challenging and a bit stressful at times. Working with Tiffany and Columbia Printing and Graphics the process that much easier for us. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for similar services!

What a great staff! They did a small job for me ($15), but they treated me like I was just as important to them as a commercial customer. I will be back for any printing needs, and Ill likely have some coming up as were decorating our new house. These people care and take pride in their work. You really cant beat the customer service and good feeling that you get from great local shops like this!

I cannot say enough about Beth. She was recommended to me by a friend when I was shopping for wedding invitations. I took her a picture of an invitation I liked (which was outside my budget) and Beth created an even better invitation with envelope liners and belly bands-- all within my budget. Beth is very professional, creative, and kind. I would highly recommend her to any Bride.

Scott printed several banners and signs for an event I was planning. I could not have been more impressed with the service I received or the professional quality of the prints. The signs made for an unforgettable event! Thank you!
