Calligraphy by Katherine

one immediately when I was searching for an artist, and was on the spot helpful and listened to our needs- where as other vendors to days to respond. thank you, Katherine. We are so grateful for you!

ghly recommend if you’re looking for a talented & reliable calligrapher.

s we made! I received many texts saying how beautiful they were. My daughter, the bride, actually kept getting phones calls from friends telling her they were the nicest invitations they had ever seen. So obviously, we were delighted with the result. Katherine matched the script from the invitation. She also matched the color green. The whole process took less than a week. She is meticulous and double checked addresses, just to be sure. But, best of all, Katherine is supportive and friendly and reassuring -- all things you need when planning a wedding. I highly recommend her.

she addresses the envelopes to compliment it. For my daughter's spring wedding, she perfectly matched the font and ink color from the invitation. The result was fabulous! Katherine provides a helpful time line so that the addressed invitations get in the mail when the bride desires. Katherine is extremely careful with her work so that there is minimal waste of paper goods. She responds to inquiries promptly and is a joy with whom to work! Katherine and I have worked together on both of my daughter's weddings. I would wholeheartedly refer her to anyone in need of calligraphy services. Her talent is incredible!

. and she finished the set so so quickly! extremely grateful - best person we have worked with to date for our wedding planning process.

ked with Katherine 6 years ago when my oldest daughter was married. I reached out to her immediately when my second daughter was engaged last fall. We used her for wedding invitations, place cards and escort cards. All perfect!

ed.

eyond our expectations by learning a new font that matched the font on my daughters wedding invitation . We received tons of complements on the all of her elegant and beautiful calligraphy!

nt script styles. She is such a delight to work with and our family has enjoyed working with her many times! Her calligraphy is what makes the wedding invitation stunning!

s to make sure you are getting the product you requested. She is efficient and just a warm person to deal with. Her turnaround was also incredible and she kept in touch every step of the way. I'm very pleased with the way our calligraphy came out on our magnolia leaves and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for calligraphy services. Thank you Katherine for your patience and for sharing your talent with all!

tion . She also had a variety of ink colors . She was so easy to work with, did them so quickly and they were beyond perfect! Each invitation was handled with care and professionalism . I can’t recommend her enough . I am so glad I didn’t do computer generated calligraphy this is the way to go !!

t I wanted and she presented multiple options with details that allowed me to feel completely comfortable that all would turn out better than expected. She helped me present my wife with the single most prized piece in our collection and will be our go-to artist until she begs us to leave her alone! She is currently working on an heirloom piece for our first daughter and she is the only one I would trust to add to our family's history in such a way. She is an artist, a professional and now a family friend. I highly encourage you to let Katherine be a part of your family as well.

the calligraphy was for my wedding!! More importantly, she uses washable ink – so the mirror and lettering held up for the wedding perfectly (no scratch offs – the lettering was definitely on there) but after the wedding I was able to remove the with acetone (like the kind you use to take off nail polish) – easy peasy. No need to ruin your mirror! Further on a personal note, she is absolutely wonderful. She answers all emails promptly and even in person she is friendly and warm. When I dropped off the mirror and a few additional items, she sat me down and addressed any concerns or questions I had and formed an outline of what I was looking for. From there we went over the process and even while she was working on everything, she sent me pictures on the progress so I was kept in the loop of when the mirror and other items would be completed. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GIFTED THIS WOMAN IS. While I asked her to use traditional script font for our wedding, she is so multi-talented she can write in many fonts and draw on an array of surfaces (mirrors, textured paper, chalkboards, etc!) so she’s able to tailor to all different types of brides. BRIDES IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A CALLIGRAPHER, LOOK NO FURTHER. KATHERINE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST.

n efficient way. Her calligraphy was beautiful and meticulous! I highly recommend you consider working with her for your event!

was fresh and elegant on our navy envelope.

pt manner! I had a really difficult font picked out and she was able to get through it with ease. I was also under a time constraint and she was able to complete over 200 envelopes in less than a week! If you are looking for beautiful calligraphy to be done Katherine is the one!

e basic verbiage, and a concept for the design. Katherine listened to our general direction -- and delivered a beautiful and sophisticated design which was exactly what we had in mind. Great work! The envelopes, place cards, and bar sign were outstanding as well!

lligraphy to look on the envelope. Since we used vintage stamps, Katherine spent extra time making sure to leave enough space on the envelope. Her turnaround time is fantastic. I couldn't believe how quickly she was able to write all of our addresses. Thank you, Katherine, for your incredible talent. We are obsessed with our envelopes.

t I wanted in less than ten words. Her turnaround time was MORE than I could ask for. Working with Katherine was like working with family and not just a Hallmark store you would walk in to make requiring an appointment and following a typical script. This is the difference when you can work with an actual HUMAN who understands your needs and passion for beauty and presentation. Katherine went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the work and she certainly delivered. I will be using her for every stationery work going forward. THANK YOU KATHERINE!!!

name cards, which were beautiful. Katherine was helpful, communicative and timely, and I look forward to having her help with our next wedding!

ray of fonts to choose from and helped me pick something that worked beautifully with the invitation. She kept me involved through the entire process in terms of how the work was going and when it would be done. Also, when she started she sent photos of the first few invitations done so I could see how it looked. A great experience and I would use her again.

She is calm, she cares and she is super talented. I would highly recommend her. Our invitations and table cards were gorgeous. It was a pleasure to work with her.

ressed. Katherine listened to all our wants from the start and offered helpful suggestions and improvements. Katherine communicated with us through the whole process and sent us several scripts to choose from. Once we decided on a script she produced the final product quickly. We were blown away by how gorgeous the invitation looked with her calligraphy. Katherine captured our vision and went above and beyond. Katherine has a very great eye for color and will produce an amazing product. We highly recommend Calligraphy with Katherine!

erent styles. She was able to complete envelopes for roughly 80 Save-the-dates in about a week. A quick turn-around in my opinion. They turned out stunning - white writing on dark aubergine. She responds in a timely manner to answer any questions you may have and to update you on the progress. I highly recommend you chose Katherine if you need a calligrapher!

ng to the invitation was perfection! She will definitely be my go-to for any future mailing or personalized gift I need!

e their own style and their invitation envelopes reflected that. She works so quickly, too , so our invitations went out on time (no thanks to a couple of procrastinators). It is always a pleasure working with Katherine - truly a five star experience!

er script was creative and beautiful, and she was able to keep us organized. Her attention to detail is fabulous and she was willing to work with us to make sure everything was perfect! Our envelopes turned out amazing -- several of our guests commented on how beautiful the calligraphy was (and even kept the envelopes hanging on their fridges with the invites!).

ked for a better experience. Katherine works with your scheduled and her turn around is so fast!

ation. I would definitely use her again.

sappointed!

h beautiful work . She is so organized and her turn around on our place cards were in just 2-3 days . All three weddings had different fonts to fit the style of each of the weddings. Katherine has many styles to choose from and she is so patient and helpful . I highly recommend her .

ty and the rest of the weekend. Festive, artistic and beautifully done!

or itself: she matched the script for our placards and table numbers perfectly to our invitations (including the perfect indigo shade of ink) - they were a detail we were excited about and the effect was beautiful. She was also accommodating and quick to make any (last minute) changes on our part for which we were very grateful! We look forward to have occasion to work with Katherine again.

ded with her, I learned from our stationer that Katherine is at the top of the stationer's list for calligraphers in Chicago. She not only is an artist with the brush, she is incredibly easy to work with. Due to errors in proofs for our invitation (twice!), I had to move dates forward (twice!) for addressing the envelopes, and Katherine was totally accommodating AND gracious about this. She worked diligently to get the envelopes done before my "mail by" date and they were gorgeous. I almost hated to part with them. The subtle deep blue ink matched our invitation perfectly, and her Classic Script is stunning. My sister's daughter is getting married this summer; after seeing the envelopes, she said that she will plan to work with Katherine too. And did I mention she is a delightful person?!? Maybe a 10 star review is insufficient to explain what a pleasure it is to work with her. HIGHLY recommended.

leasure to work with. Very responsive, conscientious, and supportive. I thought her pricing was reasonable especially given the quality of her product.

sh and modern way. I only wish I had more events to plan so I could work with her again!

vision to life! Katherine's work was completed in a short amount of time, and she was even flexible with some errors we had made! I would absolutely recommend Calligraphy by Katherine to anyone getting married!

I also asked her to make all of the name cards and signs for our wedding as well! She was such a huge help to me on what the correct way to address my guests were which saved me a lot of time as well. She was so accommodating to all of my special requests and a fast worker as well. I absolutely adore her work and HIGHLY recommend any bride to be to use her-you won't be disappointed!!! She is INCREDIBLE!!!

mend her for your calligraphy needs!!

from our invitations to match to! We had burgundy envelopes and absolutely gorgeous gold ink and they turned out fabulous! Amazingly organized, great timing, and so wonderful to work with!

expected. She was professional, matched our invitation font perfectly, was ahead of schedule and even corrected several oversights we made!! I can honestly say she was as close to perfect as one can get! Thank you Catherine for your beautiful work!

ine. Her professionalism and timely response made it a joy working with to create a beautiful “Letter to my Bride”. The process was so easy. I simply emailed Katherine my letter and she quickly created exactly what I needed within a day. She even suggested a frame and design for the letter. I would definitely recommend Calligraphy by Katherine for any of your calligraphy needs.

mething we were so grateful for!!! She created amazing chalkboard easels for us telling our story, gorgeous table cards, and the most amazing thing was a spectacular menu on the mirror behind the bar... it was breathtaking! We are so happy we found her... and felt that her work was the finishing touches that took the beauty of our event to the next level! Thank you Katherine!

riety of calligraphy styles she offers and is able to identically match any font you request and even mixes colors to match the exact color you're looking for. Further distinguishing her from other calligraphers is her service of providing samples, actual envelopes, speedily mailed to me (she is local in Chicago but my sister got married in Nashville, TN, and was able to mail all of the products down to us there), the wedding invitation envelopes were as beautiful as we had hoped, and the entire process--the initial engagement and payment, the establishment of a comfortable timeline, prompt delivery of the work--was seamless, reflected her professionalism, and fully met our expectations. Katherine even made signage for the Reception and was able to put anything that we asked together beautifully. She is accommodating and responsive in making corrections, whether her error or ours (there were few on over 300 envelopes), and it was a pleasure to work with her as well as to have our family's wedding celebrations enhanced by her stunning artistry! Thank you, Katherine!!! I would recommend you to anyone!!!
