The Constant Scribe

I wish I could give more stars than 5! Kim was incredibly easy to work with and her work is absolutely beautiful. I got SO many compliments for the calligraphy on my wedding envelopes. Her communication and dedication was amazing and I am so happy that I worked with her.

I wish there were ten more stars I could use to rate Constant Scribe. Kim is simply THE BEST! Choosing Constant Scribe will truly be the best decision you make as you prepare for your special day. Kim a true artist. Her work is absolutely beautiful, and she can create any kind of font or design you like. Kim answered all of my questions when I was not sure about proper etiquette for our wedding invitations. She is very knowledgable. Every invitation we sent was a true work of art. I received SO many compliments on our wedding invitations and it was because of Kim's beautiful and elegant penmanship. Kim also created all the calligraphy for our escort card table and they were all so perfect and beautifully done. Not only is Kim's work truly exceptional, Kim is such a pleasure to work with. She is professional, kind, prompt and very detail orientated. There were several times when I needed a few extra invitations and without hesitation or delay, Kim had them ready for us. I highly highly recommend Constant Scribe. You will be so pleased with the outcome and it will be such a pleasure to work with Kim. You will be left feeling so happy with the result and smiling because how lovely it is to work with Kim.

Kim hand lettered our invitation envelopes and turned them around in a week! She was super responsiveness and even helped us save a few dollars. The addresses turned out beautifully! We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Kim is a joy to work with and we will definitely be using her services for more wedding details.

Kim was so wonderful to work with. She took our vision for our mirrored seating chart and turned it into a work of art. It was so beautiful. The lettering she did on our invitation envelopes was exquisite, we received so many compliments. It was such a pleasure to work with someone who is so very talented!

Her work was absolutely beautiful. She hand lettered our envelopes and helped us create our seating chart on a mirror. We got so many compliments and I couldn't have been happier!

Kim created the Celtic font calligraphy for my daughters October 2017 wedding in many forms. She did the invitations, signage for table decor, welcome chalkboard sign and even a special card for the groom from my daughter. Her work is so beautiful !! Kim is easy and fun to work with ! Sdoes. It didsa

Kim was absolutely amazing! She did all the calligraphy for my daughters wedding including invitation envelopes, table numbers, seating cards for head table, welcome sign and our seating chart on a 44x79" floor mirror. Her work is gorgeous, her attention to detail impeccable, and she is so accommodating and easy to work with. I LOVED working with Kim and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know!

Gorgeous calligraphy and outstanding service!!! The Constant Scribe is such a pleasure to work with! So professional, but so kind and helpful, too. She can do lots of different fonts so that customers can choose the precise font personality that best fits the mood they want for their day. She also custom mixes ink colors to match wedding colors or printed materials. Her considerable wedding knowledge and artistic skills will ensure that your wedding papers all look great!!!

As a lover of all things paper I always hoped to have hand lettered envelopes for our wedding invitations. Luckily, we found Kim, who is incredible. Her attention to detail and very high level of skill created the perfect finishing touch for our invitation suite and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out (I can't wait to put them in the mail!). Kim selected the perfect ink color and font to match our invitations and the envelopes are beautiful. The process was so easy and she couldn't be nicer. I highly recommend her.

Kim was fabulous! She went above and beyond for our wedding invitations. They were absolutely beautiful!! She even came through for us with no issues when we had a last minute addition to the list. If you are considering going with a calligrapher I highly recommenced The Constant Scribe!

Kim is so wonderful to work with! First of all, her work is gorgeous!! She does script matching and was able to match the calligraphy on my envelopes to what was on my invitations! Secondly, she was very timely with everything. She always replied to emails or calls promptly and finished all of my envelopes in one week (I had about 150 invitations). Additionally, she was so helpful with how to word things on the envelopes and wedding address etiquette. She provided a word document that explained a lot and then read through and proofread ALL of the addresses prior to addressing the envelope! She spotted so many small errors I had made! I'm so happy that I found Kim, she's the best!!

Kim was the best vendor I've worked with thus far. She was highly responsive, efficient, and reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend her to any bride - it's obvious why she has five stars from everyone! One piece of advice to other brides - purchase an extra envelope with your address on it, to frame after the fact. And a second with a fake address for photographs. You'll be glad you did! I almost didn't want to send out my invitations because I was so obsessed with how beautiful they are. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Kim was amazing to work with. She turned the envelopes around incredibly quick and even accommodated adding a few last minute adjustments. The work is beautiful, the communication was quick and easy and the entire process was simple. We could not be more thankful to Kim for her help with our wedding. Thank you!! Michelle and Brian

Kim was an absolute joy to work with! She addressed the envelopes for our wedding invitations and they turned out like a true work of art. Kim was so helpful providing guidance from lettering that matched our invitations perfectly to the proper formatting of addresses. In addition to the high quality of her work, she was quick to respond to all of my questions. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience it was to work with Kim!

Kim was amazing to work with! Her work was incredibly beautiful and the colors of ink she mixed for the invitation envelopes and place cards were wonderful! If you want someone with an eye for detail and a high standard for her work, Kim is the best of the best.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Kim is an exceptionally talented calligrapher with a heart of gold. My family had the pleasure of working with her for two (!) family weddings this year (my brother's and my own). Her dedication to excellence shines through at every touch, whether it's a corrected name, a newly learned script, an openness to different ideas, a clever suggestion, etc. In addition to her exquisite envelopes, menus and place cards, we had asked Kim to create something beautiful for our vows to be written on. She listened to our requests but went above and beyond to make something we will cherish always. That kind of artistry is truly a joy forever.

Kim has been the best and easiest person to work with throughout my entire wedding planning process!! Her work is truly one of a kind and I could not have been happier with the work that she did. She definitely made this process a lot less stressful by always sending proofs and making sure we were happy with the work. When the envelopes for our invitations came in we were BLOWN away by her work. Her talent is outstanding and we definitely could not pass up the opportunity to work with her on our escort cards : ) I recommend working with Kim as she does NOT disappoint!!

Look no further if you are looking for flawless artistry and a stress-free experience! Kim is the consummate professional and a delight to work with. She is very responsive and well versed in the etiquette of invitations.

My mom found Kim for me and I am so happy that she did! Kim was easy to work with, came in under budget and worked quickly. When I finally saw the addressed invitations, I could hardly believe that they were hand done! The work looked so perfect it almost appeared that they had been printed by a machine. My guests will be very impressed!

Kim was a complete joy to work with in every way. From the very first email, she was extremely affable, quick to respond to questions, and enthusiastic about the work. She picked a font for our invitations that we both love, that fits our style. She was very thorough with our guest list, making sure we got the etiquette and formatting right, and *even corrected an address we didn't even know was wrong*! She was up-front about pricing, and our final cost was spot-on. She got the envelopes done with time to spare, and the end results are just beautiful! Our wedding invitations now have a gorgeous, personal touch to them that we would never get using a printer. I cannot recommend Kim enough. She is passionate about the job, incredibly talented, thorough, and enthusiastic, and her speed and accuracy are amazing.

A+ service! I would recommend The Constant Scribe to anyone! I contacted Kim, after seeing some of her beautiful work and wonderful reviews, to do calligraphy on a large wedding certificate for our California elopement. Kim was absolutely wonderful to correspond with, very professional and quick to respond. Additionally, she kept me updated every step of the way and ensured I was happy with the final result. I'm so happy we chose The Constant Scribe for our very special marriage certificate! After displaying it at our upcoming reception, we will be framing this keepsake and hanging it in our home to enjoy for years to come!

Kim (The Constant Scribe) is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely responsive, thorough, detail-oriented, and helpful. Her etiquette guide to envelope addressing was a lifesaver with all of the complicated relationships on our guest list!! And her work...oh my goodness, her work! It is in a league of its own! She was able to perfectly match the script font on our invitations, and addressed the dark navy paper beautifully in white gouache ink. I'm so glad we made the decision to hire a calligrapher, and so incredibly thankful that we chose Kim! I thought her prices were extremely reasonable for the quality and timeliness of the work. I only wish we had more things that needed calligraphy! WORK WITH KIM FOR YOUR WEDDING - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!

Take Kim along on your wedding journey. Her professionalism, passion for her work and creativity will make you glad you did. Kim designed a chalkboard for our reception that is PERFECT! She has a way of making you feel like family and that sure is comforting during these busy days leading up to the wedding. I suggest reaching out to Kim to see how she can help you enjoy the journey!

As the mother of two children getting married mere months apart, the word "wedding" has become synonymous with words like work and worry and overwhelming! This was NOT the case with my experience with The Constant Scribe, Kim. Right from the start with our initial phone conversation, Kim was professional, organized, informative, kind and caring. Meeting her in person at her charming studio merely reinforced what I already suspected: that she loves what she does, is really good at it, and cares about her customers' desires and their satisfaction. Our initial request involved an unusual style of lettering and Kim jumped through hoops to make it happen just as we had hoped. I will use her services again (wedding #2!) and can honestly highly recommend her to anyone in need of calligraphy services.

Kim- The Constant Scribe- was an absolute delight to work with. She graciously took on my order at a short notice, and returned my wedding invitations to me sooner than expected. She was very thorough on the guest list and made sure everything was perfect! The calligraphy is beautiful, and I would recommend her if you are looking for lovely, elegant invitations. I have received nothing but compliments on the calligraphy and invitations.

I can't say enough good things about Kim. Her work is perfection! She addressed our rehearsal dinner invitations and not only matched the font but mixed a special ink to match the color and texture of the printing on the invitations. Wow! She has such attention to detail and is so very easy to work with. At the last minute we had two additional addresses for her and she not only addressed them that day but mailed them out for us. She is a treasure! I would highly recommend The Constant Scribe. You will not be disappointed.

Kim was excellent! Quick turn around, great service! I was able to pick and design my envelopes all through e-mail. Kim always responded quickly to all my messages. Kim was very helpful and her prices was great. I would definitely recommended her for all occasions. Hope to use her services again in the future!

AMAZING...... BEST DESCRIBES THE CONSTANT SCRIBE!!!!! She is a wonderful part of the wedding process. Don't miss out on this beautiful part of your wedding. Kim is easy to work with and helps you select fonts, colors and styles. She is excellent in steering you in the right direction, even if you have questions that are not about the invitations, or printed materials. She will put your mind at ease. She is a treasure!!!!

Kim was wonderful to work with and the final product was absolutely beautiful. When I met Kim she was collaborative on the process and great to bounce ideas back and forth with. We always talked through the options available and vetted them out to land on something that I was ecstatic about. She was always responsive, easy to work with, and always delivered our items early. The process was completely stress free. Kim helped us with our invitation, name cards, and signs for our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests on the elegance of these items and they “never saw these ideas before”. Guests were even taking pictures of the items and posting them on Facebook! They were truly unique and beautiful. I was beyond thrilled with the result and Kim was simply fabulous.

Being given the name by a friend, The Constant Scribe was a gift from heaven! Kim is a beautiful calligrapher with a vast selection of calligraphy writing styles. I would recommend her highly and can tell you it would be worth your trip to employ her no matter your driving distance. One in a million!

We came to Kim with an odd request -- a Quaker-style marriage contract (really an English-language variation on the Jewish ketuba) decorated with Norwegian rosemaling that our guests could sign at the ceremony. We could not have asked for a better calligrapher to make what ended up being a truly unique treasure we'll keep for the rest of our lives. She made room for our somewhat belated request in her busy schedule, was communicative and enthusiastic, checked in with us at every stage of the process, and even gave us flowers when we came to pick up the final product! We felt like we had a partner in the process, and many guests commented on what a wonderful keepsake she had made for us. Highly, highly recommended.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! My fiance and I talked to a couple caligraphers and they were pretty expensive and we're giving us 2 month time frames to have envelopes completed. I stumbled upon constant scribe and contacted kim. She was extremely friendly and very helpful as I was not familiar with all the wedding lingo. Kim had our envelopes completed in a weekend and they looked fabulous! She also completed some straggler addresses for me in a day after getting them to her last minute. I would highly recommend kim for any calligraphy needs!!! Absolutely a pleasure to work with!!!

Kim was recommended to us by a family friend and at first I was concerned that she was so far away, I am here to tell you that is NOT a concern! She made it very easy for me, from scheduling to how to format my list! She was very prompt in answering all my questions and delivered a beautiful product. She matched the font from our invitation and it looked amazing! Her scheduling was stress free so in the event that you need to make a change or have something redone, it was done quickly and with time to spare. I highly recommend Kim and will use her again!

The Constant Scribe was a life saver. A quick turnaround, great communication and beautiful calligraphy allowed me to have an awesome gift for my wife on our 1st anniversary. Would definitely recommend and will probably use again in the future.

Kim of The Constant Scribe works miracles. She has such an incredible attention to detail and is wonderful to work with. From doing the envelopes for our invitations (which perfectly matched the script of the invites) to having a fun, completely different script for our escort cards, Kim completely put the finishing touch on our beautiful day. The work was elegant and high quality and she explained the process and the different options very well. I can't wait to find another reason to use Kim in the future! Thank you!!!

First and foremost, Kim is an absolute pleasure to work with. I reached out to her after researching several calligraphers online, all of which responded slowly or did not meet my expectations for the task at hand. Kim however was extremely prompt in responding (within several hours!) and seemed to ask all the right questions from the beginning. Not only was she super professional, she was also very helpful and enthusiastic from the very first email. After sending a questionnaire to fill out, she was able to provide a detailed quote and present several ideas for how to best complement my wedding suite with calligraphy. Throughout the entire process, Kim was extremely helpful and responsive - sending numerous emails and pictures of her progress along the way. I was so excited to get the finished product that I could hardly wait to open the box. Wow! You really will not believe how beautiful her handwriting is until you see it in person. This has been the best decision I have made for my wedding thus far. She has also been the easiest vendor to work with. Kim, thank you! You are truly talented.

I reached out to Kim when I decided I wanted some custom signs made for our wedding last minute. I think she typically focus on invitations and envelopes but she was really helpful and excited to help me execute our ideas. She asked great questions to make sure she understood my vision and even suggested tying in a theme from our wedding invitations to the sign to create similarity. Kim did great a keeping me in the loop on her progress, sending me pictures along the way to ensure accuracy and that I was happy with the final product. She is a real expert at what she does and its clear that she loves it!!

I really did not think I needed to use a professional to address my invitations, however I am SO extremely glad I did!! Kim was an absolute delight to work with. She was extremely efficient (I got my invitations done within days!) and I was so impressed with her work. She is very reliable and her work is impeccable. She truly takes pride in what she does and and it is evident in envelope. She is a true artist and I will definitely be contacting her again in the future to help with other elements for my big day!

kim is a dream to work with! she is clear and transparent about pricing, helpful throughout the decision-making process, communicative throughout the project, and delivers the most beautiful end-product. i cannot recommend her services strongly enough! if you are considering a calligrapher for any portion of your wedding planning, you will not regret going with the constant scribe.

I used The Constant Scribe to address our wedding invites. Kim was a saint to work with. I had a ton of questions having never done this before and not being familiar with wedding invitation etiquette to say the least, and she was amazing. She guided me through the process, made recommendations, was incredibly patient when my invites got lost in the mail and very accommodating throughout the process. Not to mention the calligraphy done is absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend using The Constant Scribe for any calligraphy needs.

I am a bride who is getting married in the spring, and I have always done the elegant, classy and yes, fun things with our wedding! I am not one to always pick something off of pinterest, and think there the most simple touches add the most with invites. I had ivory paper, with black letterpress for our invites and wanted to have the envelopes match. I looked online and found Kim. Let me just say, she not only is THE FASTEST responder ever, which is such a blessing when trying to figure out wedding plans, but she is excited to be working with brides! I was so happy to work with her, and she made me that much more excited to send out our invites! I had to have a quick turnaround, given that I made the decision last minute to have calligraphy done, and she made sure they were done in a timely fashion. They were PERFECT. The font matched our invites wonderfully. My dad, who is a typical guys guy, looked at them and said WOW I LOVE THEM! I couldn't be happier about our envelopes. They are gorgeous. Kim was a blessing and added touches to our wedding that couldn't come from anywhere else. I am so happy I ended up meeting her, and truly want everyone in the area to know how wonderful she is!!! THANK YOU KIM!

Kim (The Constant Scribe) is remarkable. Kim helped me propose to my now fiancee by turning a typed letter into a truly amazing keepsake that my fiancee will have for the rest of our lives. You see, part of my proposal plan involved having a letter delivered to my fiancee after we had finished dinner (and after I had excused myself so that I could surreptitiously watch her read the letter). Because the letter played such a central role in the proposal, presentation was very important. Kim delivered flawlessly. Her calligraphy is beautiful, and she even created a special envelope to fit the letter such that the pages did not need to be folded. To this day, my fiancee will pull the letter out from time to time, and (second to her ring, I think) it is her most treasured keepsake from the proposal.

Kim was absolute perfection. Beautiful calligraphy, delivered on time, as promised, with very personalized, helpful service, including custom ink, careful proofing, and quick help when a few extra last minute invitations were needed. I recommend Kim without hesitation, and I was the mother of the bride AND have planned large scale events professionally. I will use Kim again when I need calligraphy. She is the BEST!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with The Constant Scribe. Not only was Kim wonderful to work with, she was such a help in terms of direction and immediately picked up on what I was looking for. As the bride, I was making so many decisions at this point in the planning process that it was truly a life-saver to work with someone that could guide me through my own thoughts. My goal was to have a the beautiful, classic calligraphy with a touch of modern flare. Kim understood right away, was quick to send me an example of what she was thinking, and was able to complete them all within a short period of time. Countless guests of ours commented on the calligraphy, both young and old, which is a testamate to the incredible work she did. I took a picture of each envelope as I sealed them just because each one was more beautiful than the last and I was so proud to show off Kim's craft.

We used The Constant Scribe for the calligraphy on our wedding invitations and absolutely loved how they turned out. Kim is so thorough and is more than willing to accommodate last minute changes or revisions in a timely manner. We received more compliments on how elegant the handwriting was on all of our envelopes, the quality of her work certainly did not go unnoticed. We were so happy with how everything turned out that we had her also do the table cards for our wedding day.

Kim did the calligraphy for our wedding invitations and we were so impressed with her work. She was so thoughtful about customizing a font for us that matched the font of our invitations and they turned out beautifully! She is professional and kind- I highly recommend her to anyone that needs calligraphy done.

Kim's work is simply incredible. We used her for the calligraphy on our wedding and rehearsal dinner invitations, as well as our place cards and menus. Her work is stunning! We received so many compliments. In addition to doing beautiful work, she is professional, timely and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or other event.

Our Save the Date cards and Invitations were a carved tree theme, and I asked Kim if she had any suggestions for incorporating that into our envelopes. She suggested using wood envelopes and directed me to several websites for options. Once I had picked the one I liked, I took them to Kim and she turned them into the most beautiful envelopes I've ever seen. I almost didn't want to part with them! She was extremely responsive and performed the work quickly. We couldn't have been more pleased! I knew I wanted to use Kim, so I don't know how much this typically costs, but I feel like she could charge significantly more, especially for working on specialized envelopes. Should the need arise, we would definitely use The Constant Scribe again and sing her praises to anyone who asks!

It was such a pleasure working with Kim. Her work was so beautiful, a true work of art. If you are considering using a calligrapher for your wedding invitations, I highly recommend Kim!

I found Kim through The Knot, and after browsing through her beautiful work on her website, we knew we wanted to work with her on our wedding invitation envelopes. Every step of the process from proofing to mailing the invitations was SEAMLESS. Kim's attention to detail (she reviewed every address of our 250 guests-- amazing!), her more than timely correspondence, and her willingness to work closely with brides to make this process simple and enjoyable were so wonderful and beyond appreciated. Even when we had to send more invitations weeks later, Kim graciously completed additional envelopes for us, and even mailed them directly from her studio so as to get them to our guests quickly. Our guests were blown away by her beautiful calligraphy. It was such a pleasure working with Kim, and we have already referred her to all of my engaged friends and cousins! She truly is a dream for any bride! I am so grateful to have worked with her during this process, and I will cherish our beautiful invitations. Thank you, Kim! -Sarah from Hinsdale, IL

Kim went above and beyond in doing the calligraphy for my invitations! She took time to thoroughly explain how her process worked and advised me on which envelopes to select, based on my budget. She even offered to match my invitation font (which I downloaded off the Internet)! The outside of my envelopes looked amazing...I had so many friends and family tell me they didn't want to throw the envelope away because they looked so beautiful. Her service was timely and the quality was just beautiful! HIGHLY recommend! And I loved shopping local. :)

I hardly know where to begin to describe the amazing experience I had working with Kim. From the very start, she set herself apart from the other vendors I had been working with for my wedding. She was very prompt in all her email correspondence, she was informative, she was enthusiastic, and she was super super super nice. I planned my wedding in Chicago from China, and as you may imagine, it got very stressful at times. Kim not only made the most beautiful products (she did my table cards, my name cards, a sign for guests to sign the guestbook and take polaroids, and my envelope addresses), but she was so patient and kind and fun throughout the entire process. I felt like I had hired my close friend to help me with wedding stuff. When I had made a mistake with my addresses, she very very kindly made the adjustments right away. When I had asked her to make the guestbook sign, I didn't know how I wanted it to look, and asked her to decide for me and just go for it without direction! That's how much, after working with her for a short while, I came to trust her judgement and talent. When we received the addressed envelopes, my fiancé was more blown away by our envelopes from Kim than he was our actual invitations! They were perfect and beautiful, and all our guests commented on her calligraphy. Thank you, Kim, for being so nice and so wonderful. You made all the difference in the world when I was planning my wedding. You're awesome!

Kim was an absolute dream! Her work was absolutely beautiful all while being cost effective and speedy. She was worth every penny. We received so many compliments on our invitations and escort cards!

Kim did a beautiful job addressing our wedding envelopes. My invitations took longer than expected to arrive, but Kim was more than accommodating to address them at that time. She matched our script to our invitation perfectly. Our guests loved the envelopes. I look forward to using Kim for our place cards and would recommend her to my friends and family.

We had Kim for all of our place cards, invitations addresses and so many little details! She wrote our table names, candy names for our sweet table, photo booth signs and helped design door knob hangers we put in our goody bags. And she did such a great job! Not only did she give her opinion on everything but she truly put her heart into each of our pieces! After the wedding, my husband and I agreed that she made our wedding planning so much easier! She was just a joy to work with and so accommodating. If you are on the fence about calligraphy, Kim is the best investment you could make! I promise you will not be disappointed!!!
