For the past twelve years we have been throwing parties together; weddings, milestone birthdays, baby showers, retirement parties, just because parties. It is something that has always come naturally to us, we love doing it and we were always jumping in when a friend got engaged, or needed an invitation made. For years we worked for other people, doing other things and had these parties as our creative outlet until one summer we finally got real...

Together, we discussed ideas, goals and dreams of working for ourselves, we knew it was possible but we just weren’t sure what the first step would be. After a few brainstorming (and wine drinking) meetings, we decided that it was time to start this Event Styling, Letterpress and Design business together. It would be the perfect blend of our talents and our passions and heck, we were already doing the work for ourselves and our friends anyway – why not parlay that into a business? And with that, the idea of Champagne & Ink was born.

Since our launch in 2013 we have been busting our little butts to create our brand and showcase quality work. We have seen Champagne & Ink grow from a daydream into a sought after design company. The response we have received from the community and our clients is invigorating; every person we work with is so excited to have found us, and these relationships are what drive us to work harder. We find joy in not only living our dream, but bringing yours to reality as well.

MEET DANIELLE:

My work history has ranged from photography studio assistant, art gallery manager, to business manager of a photographer with all sorts of odd roles in between; I constantly found myself writing down notes and sketching out ideas, toying with the idea of starting my own event / styling business. The push came after 2 years of being a stay-at-home mom and really taking the time to examine what I was passionate about; I finally realized that all of the notebooks I had filled with ideas could morph into a business.

YOU’LL FIND ME: Responding to your emails and messages, helping you with wording suggestions, correcting your grammar, pouring you a glass of champagne, sketching out those crazy big ideas, refining and perfecting the vision and keeping it all organized and on schedule.

MEET ELLEN:

My husband and I moved a few years ago to Newport RI, his hometown. Prior to our move I had been working at an advertising agency; I then moved into being strictly a freelance graphic designer. I saw this as a great opportunity to immerse myself into the community, and to bring my particular talents to a larger audience. Honestly, there is nothing I love more than designing paper goods for weddings and being able to letterpress.

YOU’LL FIND ME: Geeking out over papers and textures with you in our consultation meetings, perfecting the typography hierarchies in your design, tackling all of the ordering, tracking and quality checking, dancing through design blocks, and hand feeding each of your designs through our Letterpress machine.
