Ryan & Nicolette are true artists! They were able to take my ideas and turn them into elegant invitations for my wedding. They are both so patient, thorough and generous. We received a lot of compliments on our invitations and felt great about supporting local artists. We chose a paper that was done by female artists in Bangladesh to support safe work environments as well. If you're looking for a touch of class & personality with a global view of art, Double Trip Press cannot be matched!

Ryan and Nicolette were a DREAM to work with! My (now) husband and I had a lot of scattered design ideas for our invitations, and Ryan really helped guide us through the design process and produced such a beautiful invitation suite for us. Everything was high quality, cohesive, and made with love! Aside from the physical products, which were exceptional, communications and meetings with Ryan and Nicolette could not have been better. They were patient, great listeners, and the perfect partners in an otherwise overwhelming process. Thank you, Ryan and Nicolette, for being amazing at what you do and for being fantastic human beings!

Nicolette and Ryan were kind enough to let me drop in for an inquiry on very short notice and walked me through all the materials and design options for the two guestbooks I needed for our wedding in less than 3 weeks. They graciously agreed to accommodate me, and Nicolette communicated with me every step of the way. On August 29th, I received two absolutely stunning guestbooks in the mail. Friends and family were blown away by the attention to detail in the two books and their slip case.If you appreciate artistic ingenuity, this is the place to go. Thank you Nicolette and Ryan for realizing our vision!

Artistic, professional and top quality. I had a unique product made for a holiday event that made great impression on my guests. With my logo and business info along with city skyline made into tiny matchbook note pads. So fun and creative.

I wish I could give them 100 stars because my best decision for my wedding was working with Double Trip Press. I do not even know where to begin to tell you future brides/grooms how much I love and adore Ryan and Nicolette. I wanted to work with a local company near my house in Lakeview, so I found Double Trip Press by simply Googling and reading their reviews. They were all 5 stars and wonderful, so I knew I needed to check out the team for myself to see if this was the real deal. The moment my parents, husband and I first met Ryan, it was an instant connection. I explained to Ryan my vision for the wedding but told him I had no idea how I wanted the invitations to look. I was lost! He told me to trust him, and I completely did. The moment I saw my mock ups, I cried. Ryan blew my parents', husband's and my exceptions out of the water! He even created our monogram and custom wax seal that we will use for the rest of our lives. Ryan and Nicolette not only did our invitations but all of our day of items: place cards, bar signs, dinner menus, custom ribbon bound church programs, custom guest book made out of Horween Leather (absolutely unreal), dance floor monogram, cocktail napkins with our monogram, custom personalized cigar match books with our monogram (a surprise gift for my husband, his groomsmen, and all guests that fancy a cigar as I had them put out in bowls at the 4 bars), thank notes, and custom stationary for Shane and me, which I gift my husband on our wedding morning when I wrote my first letter to him with my new last name. I cannot speak any more highly of these wonderful two people who made all my wedding dreams come true. My husband's favorite part was when Ryan let him do one of the letter presses on our invitations. It was quiet a personalized and unforgettable experience working with Double Trip Press. They are genuine and care about your wedding dreams and vision. HIRE THEM!!! I will most definitely be using them in the future for future O'Mara parties and my parents have already told Ryan to start thinking of ideas for the next Durkin weddings. :) BEST DECISION EVER

I worked with Ryan and Nicolette on a letterpress poster for a client of mine and the experience couldn't have been better. They were super professional, clear communicators and brought me into the process to make the project as good as it could be. And after all that, the work was superb. I would highly recommend working with them!

The Double Trip team is beyond awesome! I worked with Ryan and Nicolette on a project for a limited edition 5-Year Anniversary letterpress coaster set for DryHop Brewers in Lakeview and it was the BEST experience. From start to finish communication was on point, everything was incredibly organized, and their team is a joy to work with! It was unbelievable to see them at work at the presses, and they taught me a lot about the printing process, which was unexpected, but so appreciated.I would highly recommend working with Ryan and Nicolette for any project - work/wedding-related, etc. The finished product was beautiful and the recipients loved their custom coaster set!

Ryan is an absolute dream to work with! The quality of his work is like nothing I have seen before. He did the birth announcements for both my sons. (My middle son, Charlie, has his displayed in the gallery on Ryan's website.) Each time, I received multiple comments from friends and family on how the announcements were the nicest they have ever seen.Cards from Ryan really standout as they are truly a piece of art. The whole process was a joy and seamless. Each time, Ryan suggested I come in before each boy was born so it could be designed and ready to go as soon as my baby was born. Since I did not know the gender, Ryan designed a boy and girl announcement and once I had the baby, he filled in all the pertinent details and printed the design so I could deliver promptly. He even had all the addresses on the envelopes and delivered the cards already stuffed - a true blessing for a new, busy mom!I know he usually specializes in wedding invitations (wish I knew about Ryan prior to my wedding!!) but he also excels in areas outside of weddings as well. I highly recommend Ryan if you want a personalized, high quality, one-of-kind print job!

Ryan and team printed our wedding invitations and RSVP cards, did a superb job and were very reasonably priced. They facilitated an aggressive time frame (our initial printing company screwed up the job) and the letter press technique really makes the invites look special. I definitely recommend making an appointment to see their capabilities.
