First, let me start off by saying I have never written a review on Citysearch or Zagats or any of the other sites for user ratings. But my experiences at Lion in the Sun have me logging on to rave about this incredible Park Slope paperie. When I got engaged, we went to Kate's paperie to do the save the dates. While they came out beautiful, the process was not one I was pleased with. I had to keep calling to check on the arrival date and the proofs and the salespeople were generally unresponsive. I was treated like a dispensable and replacable customer despite the very expenseive order I had placed. For my invitations, I decided to try Lion in the Sun. What a world of difference! Not only were my invitations exquisite (deckled edge and calligraphy engraved), but the staff and service were flawless. Proofs came in on time. Any questions I had were promptly answered. I never felt rushed when i was in the store and everyone there seemed to be genuinely excited about my wedding and the planning experience. We didnt just do our invites but our place cards, menus, programs and escort cards--all of which were timelessly elegant. By the end of the process, I felt like Lion in the Sun was a second home!! Its been two months since the wedding and today I returned to get engraved stationary and once again, a wonderful experience. Everyone wanted to know all about the wedding and I was given a discount on my order as a frequent customer. With a world (and especially much of Brooklyn) developing a big-shop big-money corporate mentality, a small family-owned shop like Lion in the Sun stands out even more!
