BL Calligraphy

Working with Barbara was great. I was a little overwhelmed by invitation shops, but mostly knew what I wanted: classic but personalized. I first asked about envelope addressing, but wound up having her create a custom suite for me including a logo that we used in many other ways that made the whole event seem pulled together. Barbara helped me through so much more of the process than she needed to, guiding me towards the wonderful Bernardsville Print Center for the actual printing of her custom design. She was quick and thorough with all communication, and was able to adeptly and swiftly handle last minute additions and changes. By the end of the process the invitation went from something that was on the back burner, to one of my favorite elements. I loved hearing feedback from guests that it was, without hyperbole, the nicest invitation they had ever seen, and set the stage for how the rest of the wedding would be.

I can't say enough good things about working with Belles Lettres. We went with Barbara's mixed lettering look, and the invitations turned out looking absolutely beautiful. Barbara is very transparent, easygoing, and helpful. She carefully spelled out all of her services and what the costs would be, and offered suggestions and samples to guide us to the right style. I highly recommend!

I'm not one to write reviews, but felt like this was an exception. I had Barbara do the addresses on my wedding invitations, and they blew me away. She did gold script on our black envelopes and when I received them in the mail I was so impressed. They took the quality and customization of our wedding invitations to the next level. Working with Barbara was a breeze. Wedding planning is difficult and I wasn't the best at emailing promptly, but Barbara was always on top of it. We had issues getting our envelopes in time, so we were worried everything would be sent out extremely late. Barbara was a champ and turned around our beautiful addressed envelopes in record time. I would highly recommend choosing her for your next calligraphy needs. She will not disappoint!

Barbara was SO lovely to work with!! She did our calligraphy for our seating chart on a large mirror we rented through our florist. It turned out so wonderful and exactly how we envisioned it! Barbara responded very promptly to all emails, texts, and phone calls and never made you feel like a bother if you had any questions. I would highly recommend!

We used Belles Lettres Calligraphy for our wedding envelopes and would HIGHLY recommend them. Barbara was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and produces gorgeous work. We got tons of comments on how beautiful the calligraphy was. We had a few additions to the list after the initial batch we sent to her, and every time Barbara was able to get the new names added and in the mail to us within a day. She is a dream to work with.

We used Belle Lettres Calligraphy to address our wedding invitations. From the first interaction to the last, Barbara was wonderful. She answered all my preliminary questions so quickly. She completed our envelopes in a mere few days. But most of all, Barbara’s passion for her craft comes across in each beautiful stroke. The finished product is exquisite! I almost hate to part with these envelopes when it’s time to send them out. Thank you again Barbara.

Barbara is the ultimate combination of talent, professionalism, dedication, and care. She worked with us on a very short time line, and spent the bulk of her Thanksgiving holiday weekend making certain that she was creating a unique and beautiful wedding invitation suite that was entirely in line with our vision. She even gave herself a crash course in the Hebrew alphabet in order to accommodate one of our requests. And although Barbara turned things around at lightening speed every step along the way, she never rushed us, always making certain that we were one hundred per cent happy with everything down to the smallest detail. We truly could not have been happier with our experience from start to finish. Barbara is a gem!

Barbara did an amazing job on my mirror seating chart for my wedding. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and everything came out perfect. I am so happy that I chose her for the job!

I was on the fence about having my invites hand addressed by a professional, I wasn't sure it would be worth the cost. Using Barbara might be the best decision I made during wedding planning- she is AMAZING!!! 100% worth the cost- I actually think for what she does, she is very reasonably priced. It saved me time, which is priceless. Her work is incredible and above that she is patient and professional (as I changed my mind a few times and had some address changes). She has several styles to choose from and also guided me on which would work best with my invite. I could not recommend her more!! An invitation is the first impression your guest has of your event, it sets the tone- it's so important!! Hire her- she's fabulous!

Barbara came highly recommend by our florist, A Touch of Elegance, and she certainly did not disappoint. She was amazing to work with; eliminating stress by answering any questions we had promptly and offering great advice. All of our guests loved our mirror seating chart with the beautiful calligraphy and adorable personal touches. We cannot thank you enough Barbara!!!

We were referred to Barbara by a close friend, and she was, hands down, the most responsive and professional vendor with whom we worked on our wedding. Barbara's work is excellent, she always responded to our outreach quickly, and she turned around our calligraphy - flawlessly - in just a few days. Would recommend her without reservation!

Barbara was outstanding! She was so helpful and accommodating with lettering request and ideas. She made the entire process so seamless, each time I would drop off items to be lettered they would be completed within just a few days! Everything was beautiful – she addressed my invite envelopes, place cards, table numbers and even signs for our wedding. I loved her writing so much that it was tough to part with the envelopes! Barbara was even helpful when some of the paper I provided was too thin to write on – she ended up ordering the perfect paper I had in mind. She was quick to respond to email and accommodating with last minute changes. We had many compliments from guests – most ended up saving their name cards they were so beautiful! I highly recommended Barbara. – you won’t be disappointed!

I loved working with Barbara at Belles Lettres Calligraphy and would recommend her and her calligraphy work to anyone looking for gorgeous hand-done calligraphy for wedding invitations. Barbara's prices are extremely competitive, and her customer service and professionalism are outstanding. Barbara is incredibly responsive (often responding within 10 minutes to all emails) and flexible when working with you. Barbara was willing to customize part of her font to match the font used on my invitations, and accommodated a handful of last minute changes for me. I cannot recommend her enough!

Working with Barbara was perfect. She is a true professional and amazing at her craft. From my initial inquiry to receiving my addressed envelopes, the entire process was smooth, seamless, timely, and not to mention her artistic ability is beautiful.

Barbara of Belles Lettres Calligraphy is a dream to work with. I worked with Barbara to design a chalkboard seating chart for my wedding, and I could not be happier with the end result! Not only is her work so incredibly beautiful, but she's a true professional: highly responsive (both by phone and email); polite; and easy to work with. I was an indecisive bride, and she gave me multiple design options. Above all, she accommodated my busy schedule the week of my wedding, for easy pick-up and drop-off of the seating chart. I definitely recommend, and I'll be using Belles Lettres Calligraphy again for future projects!

I cannot say enough good things about Barbara and service. After not being able to find a calligrapher available in the Charlotte, NC area. I was recommended to reach out to Barbara. Barbara was responsive, kind, and really took the time to make sure she understood the style we were looking for. She went above and beyond to get it back on time and we could not be happier. Thank you, Barbara!

I wanted a mirrored program board for our wedding. We had originally purchased one on Etsy and two weeks before our wedding the vendor fell through. Belles Lettres Calligraphy was recommended by a friend who works at a wedding magazine and Barbara was a life saver. She made us the most perfect, beautiful board. She was so easy to deal with, responsive, worked so quickly to get us what we wanted in such a short time frame. She sent sketches of the board until the spacing and alignment were exactly what we envisioned. We keep saying we need to find another calligraphy project to use Barbara for! Thank you so much for everything!

Barbara is a total pleasure to work with, deeply talented and warm. I had very specific ideas for the various calligraphy needs associated with my wedding and Barbara was patient, accommodating, and incredibly flexible—and fast! She was by far my most reliable wedding vendor, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. I'm based in NYC and work as a lifestyle magazine editor, so have worked with countless top-notch calligraphers. None are as professional or efficient as Barbara!

Barbara was excellent and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was very responsive over email and FAST! I got my envelopes back in under a week and they were beautifully done and packaged. She offers a great variety of styles and I have gotten many compliments on the calligraphy. I also hired her to assemble and stamp my invitations which came out wonderfully! Overall a great vendor to work with and I would absolutely recommend her to a friend for beautiful and quick work. Thanks Barbara!

Barbara is AMAZING! She responded to emails immediately and the quality of her work is exceptional. Barbara completed our order in two days (envelope calligraphy for our wedding invitations) when I thought it would take her 2 weeks! I honestly do not know how she did such an amazing job so fast. I would recommend Barbara without hesitation. My fiance and I are getting married in Sept, and I am definitely going to ask Barbara to do our escort cards as well.

Barbara did the calligraphy for my envelopes. She was able to squeeze our large order in a tight time frame and was gracious beginning to end ! She was very cautious to ask questions when unsure, and was super accommodating when I had to add additional names more than once ! Her penmanship is beautiful and Ive received so many compliments about her striking white writing on our dark green envelopes. Her delivery was speedy and organized. We could not have asked for more beautiful work, or an easier process !! We HIGHLY recommend her !!

Make it easy on yourself too and choose Belles Lettres for your wedding.

She also helped to make it affordable for us, suggesting the monoline option which was stunning! I highly recommend Belles Lettres to all brides. I was trying to make the little details count and she really made that a reality. Thank you Barbara!

Barbara is the BEST! She does fabulous work! For our wedding, we contacted Barbara through email and she responded right away. She did the calligraphy for our invitation envelopes, a wax seal on all the invitations, table numbers, escort cards and the menus. All our correspondence was through email and it totally worked out perfectly. She was always reachable. My husband and I felt completely at ease with giving her free rein with our wedding. She was so helpful with ideas and suggestions. It really was a pleasure working with her. I absolutely recommend Belles Lettres to anyone who is looking for a calligrapher who is much more than a calligrapher. She has so many ideas and is such a talented, creative person. Working with Barbara made the planning of our wedding less stressful.
