Genie was wonderful to work with! She looked through all of my addresses and made sure that each one was addressed properly. I got the invitations from Goosefish Press in the South End of Boston and she was able to match the font on the envelope to the font on the invitations! Overall Genie was a pleasure to work with!
Elite Calligraphy is by far the best company I have delt with for my wedding!
Genie, from day one, was professional and so helpful in helping me during our invitation process! Their work is impeccable!
When time is not on your side and you need your wedding invitations done with quality and professionalism with a commitment to turning things around quickly, then you have come to the right place, ELITE Calligraphy. Genie was just what the doctor ordered and provided my wife and I with such comfort and helped me calm my nerves with way she explain what the right approach that we could take to fit our budget.
She also did our place cards for our tables and turned them around quickly. We would recommend Elite to any one and we have adopted Elite Calligraphy as our exclusive Design Consultant for all our future events and have recommended her to many of our friends.

Great to work with and super fast. Highly recommend!! And the invitations looked awesome!
Working with Genie Melkonian was a joy—her finished product was lovely and she was the consummate professional in all interactions. We decided last minute to have the wedding place cards professionally printed, and calling Genie was the best choice we made. She immediately took charge, offering to meet me that day, and laid out the whole process with incredible organization and precision. Her communications were timely and clear, her advice was thoughtful and personalized, and she readily accommodated some last-minute additions we needed to make. We can’t recommend Elite Calligraphy and Genie highly enough— her work is beautiful and doing business with her was a pleasure.
Genie was super helpful and professional! She addressed my daughter's wedding invitations, designed and printed the programs and helped us create unique place cards. She did a wonderful job making the wedding planning process run that much smoother without any stress. Everything was always punctual and done with a smile. Thank You.
Gennie did a beautiful job. My daughter was married in an outside barn wedding. Invitations needed to be somewhat casual but romantic at the same time. She was able to customize the invitations to what my daughter wanted. Everything was done on time. THANK YOU
Genie and elite calligraphy was amazing! Very prompt, easy to work with, and the most beautiful envelopes! She not only did my calligraphy, she packaged and sealed everything! She made my envelope process easy and beautiful
Genie does absolutely beautiful work and was a pleasure to work with! She was quick and responsive and even went so far as to come and hand deliver the envelopes for our wedding invites so I didn’t have to go out of my way during a very busy time. Loved working with her and would recommend Genie without hesitation!
Genie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was responsive and gave us great advice during our consultation service. We were so pleased with how the finished product looked. Would highly recommend!
Genie did the addressing for all 100+ of my wedding invitations, a well as the table names at each table. Her work was terrific and we received many compliments. Elite Calligraphy is a great local company who I would recommend to anyone getting married.
Genie is a lifesaver! Pro tip, don't waste your time and money with Minted. Get your invites from Vista Print or elsewhere and have Genie address them. You'll get personalized help and advice (we texted her a couple additional addresses and she got it done) and still save hundreds over Minted! In the process of going over our addresses I learned a lot and got a few good ideas that had nothing to do with our invites. She's a pro and clearly enjoys what she does. Plus she will do you thank you card envelopes at a discount if you get them with your invites! So convenient, so glad we found her!
Horrible. Takes forever to get back to you, via email or phone. Went to pick up my invites and one was missing. Contacted her right away, she mailed me the wrong one again; even after attaching a picture of the address i needed. Told her it was the wrong address AGAIN and haven’t heard from her since! Yes her work is beautiful but it’s not worth the headache.
Genie designed our outer envelopes as well as our escort cards. She is very easy to work with and does beautiful work. She gave us suggestions and ideas along the way. I would highly recommend to anyone!! Thank you Genie!
I recently hired Genie of Elite Calligraphy to calligraphy the outer envelopes for our daughter’s bat mitzvah invitations. Genie is a true professional. She offers many fonts and has several different layout options and will try to match the style of your invitation. In addition, Genie provided etiquette suggestions and proofreading of our list, and delivered the envelopes in a very timely manner. We will be also be using Genie to create the seating cards and other table signs in the coming weeks. I would highly recommend Genie of Elite Calligraphy.
Genie has been a joy to work with every step of the way! Originally, I had hired her to do the calligraphy on my wedding invitation envelopes. The gold foil calligraphy added another level of beauty and elegance to our invitations. We received many compliments from friends and family.
Genie is now in the process of designing the buffet menu signs and seating chart signs for our wedding day. We cant wait to see the final product!
Thank you Genie!
Genie did much more than just provide calligraphy services. She also gave great tips, advice and suggestions when it came to the structure and processes of the envelope, stamp placement, addressing etiquette, etc. She catches things that can be done better and walks you through it. Aside from that, the envelopes came out AMAZING! I'm so excited to send them out to our wedding guests. Great service all the way around. I highly recommend.
We were referred to Genie by the vendor we used for our wedding invitations. Her work is beautiful! She is a pleasure to work with. She worked to match the style of our invitations, and was very helpful in making sure the invitations were addressed properly. When we had some invitations returned due to people moving, Genie was able to produce new envelopes for us in a couple of days. Genie provides a very personalized service at an affordable price. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Genie did an outstanding job addressing our wedding invitation envelopes. Genie provided sound advice on etiquette and thoughtful suggestions on style. We received many compliments from our guests about Genie's work. It truly is beautiful. I would highly recommend working with Genie!
Genie at Elite Calligraphy is fabulous! She was a pleasure to work with - listened to all of our questions, provided valuable expertise about etiquette and design, and delivered a high quality product in a timely fashion. Guests have been going out of their way to tell us how beautiful the lettering on the envelopes is! One of my friends said it was "perfection"!! We highly recommend Genie and Elite!
Elite Calligraphy did a great job for my son's Bar Mitzvah's invitations. Obviously, this is print, not hand written, but it really looked beautiful and classy. Also, Genie Melkonian was gracious, flexible and responsive. She went out of her way to solve a deadline issue I had for some of the invitations.
I would highly recommend Elite Calligraphy for any calligraphy work that you need done, whether it be for a wedding or different special occasion. I worked with Genie on my save the dates, wedding invitations and escort cards for my November wedding. She is very professional and her work always came out beautifully. She has many different design options so it more than easy to have a font and color in line with the rest of your invitation suite. She also knows her stuff when it comes to the proper etiquette for addresses and the like!
Genie from Elite Caligraphy was a delight to work with. We had envelopes done; they came out absolutely beautiful and brought the entire look of the invitations to a higher level. The color was matched so nicely. Genie gave excellent advice and suggestions but was never pushy. Genie was always prompt to respond and when we had last minute changes, she was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Elite Caligraphy and would not hesitate to use their services again.
I would highly recommend Genie and Elite Caligraphy! I only used them for my table assignment cards but wish I had also used them to address my envelopes! Genie was very accommodating and lovely to work with. I mostly knew what I needed so she handled the order over the phone which saved me a trip. I love that she asked for a picture of the invitations to best suggest a font and style and her first recommendation was absolutely perfect! She even worked around my schedule for picking up the cards. Thank you, Genie for making one task that much easier!
Genie addressed my wedding invitations and they were absolutely beautiful. I received many complements on them. Genie was very easy to work with and was very responsive. She also looked at my entire invitation and gave me suggestions on how to package them. I ended up adding a belly band to the outside (which I ordered from her) and they turned out just lovely. I would highly recommend Genie and Elite calligraphy!
Highly recommend! Genie did the place cards for my wedding, and they turned out great, just the way I wanted them! She is a talented calligrapher, easy to work with and affordable.
Genie at Elite Calligraphy was a great help to us with the invitations and escort cards for our daughter's wedding. She has a great eye for design and color and is very knowledgeable about etiquette. She is reliable, detail oriented and easy to work with. I highly recommend Elite Calligraphy.
Working with Elite Caligraphy was great! There were so many things regarding "etiquette" I was unaware of. The final product looked beautiful.
My daughters wedding was in July 2016 and we contacted Genie to do the calligraphy for the invitations. Genie was a amazing!!! The invitations looked so beautiful!!!
She was so helpful and everything was perfect. We had to add a few and they were done promptly. We recommend her and we will use her again.
Genie was great to work with! She was very creative and helped keeping my cards of choice very elegant. She gave me very useful tips for the overall process. she is very patient, professional and most importantly she is always excited about her job and loves what she does! Racha
It was such a pleasure working with Genie, from Elite Calligraphy! She answered all of our etiquette questions and was extremely accommodating and professional. Genie printed all of our invitation and thank you card envelopes, our escort cards and table numbers. Everything was stunning and done with meticulous attention to detail (which I appreciate SO much)! We highly recommend Genie and Elite Calligraphy and we are already planning to use her services again in the future!
I found Genie on the knot website and used her for my save the date envelopes. I also used her for my invitations. Her work was beautiful. However I was depending on her for other things like escort cards and programs and she told me she would do them and never got back to me after multiple emails. I am now scrambling to find someone else.
Genie did a fabulous job on our wedding invitations! We had a tight time frame to send our invitations, and Genie worked with us to get our invitations quickly and efficiently. She sat down with us and explained the intricacies of addressing envelopes, and when the invitations were completed, she took the time to show us how to put the invitations together. Her attention to detail was obvious and she clearly takes pride in her work (as she should!). We had so many compliments on our invitations; I would definitely recommend Genie to any one looking for a calligrapher!
Genie is the best!!! She did bridal shower invitations and wedding invitations for my girls. Thanks so much for your Awesome work!! Genie answers the phone when you call
You always get a call back or e mail back promptly.
Thanks Donna
Genie does absolutely beautiful work! She did the place cards and table numbers for our August wedding. Her attention to detail and impeccable eye for design led to the perfect touches for our place cards and table numbers. Highly recommend!
Genie is a very creative and helpful calligrapher! Our guests loved the invitations, she matched our Crane invitations to perfection! Our table cards and menu's were entirely designed by her and couldn't have been more fitting. Everything tied together perfectly to make our weddding reception unforgettable!
Genie is one of the best vendors that we worked with during the wedding planning process. My husband and I used Elite for our wedding calligraphy needs. Despite our tight timelines, Genie was responsive and able to effectively work with us. The quality of the product and customer service was excellent. We were happy with the final result and the wonderful professionalism we received from Genie. Highly recommend Elite for their excellent calligraphy services.
We used Elite Calligraphy for our wedding invitation envelopes and they turned out amazing! Genie did a wonderful job. She is a professional, she has great precision and pride in her work. I would definitely recommend Elite Calligraphy!!
Genie Melkonian,owner of Elite, is thorough, careful, artistic, and reasonably priced. She was dependable, prompt, and adapted to my needs with flexibility. Everyone loved the invitations they received and she designed a wonderful menu sheet, program, and "Wedding Guest Scavenger Hunt" card that surpassed my vision. I would use her again in a second (although I'm hoping my kids stayed married!)
Genie Melkonian was a delight to work with. She willingly shared her expertise on the proper approach to invitations and escort cards. She made the process easy and helped us every step of the way.
The end result was lovely and we would recommend Elite Calligraphy to those looking for quality work at a very competitive price.
I just sent out our wedding invitations! Genie was very accessible through email, available for appointments and knowledgable about every piece of the process. I could not have been more thrilled with the service. Not to mention the product- they have absolutely stunning Calligraphy fonts and so many different styles to coordinate with your theme.
Working with Genie and Elite Calligraphy was such a pleasure! Prior to meeting Genie she provided a great amount of information on her website to prepare myself with the correct materials and formal proper language for invitations. She provided worksheets which I used to educate myself about formal invitation styles and they were super helpful to prepare for our initial meeting. Our first meeting was great and we went through each of my envelopes one by one correcting any issues. The best part is through the process I became actually interested to learn about the protocol with formal invitations and Genie was a great and patient teacher. Much of the protocol I still remember and use today with my friend's weddings.
We had about 2-3 more drafts overall and she was amazing helping me pick out a custom font. The envelopes were finished much faster than I thought which was great! When I received them I just melted, they looked fantastic! The ink and font were so rich and elegant it was just beautiful. I couldn't wait to to send them but at the same time they were so beautiful I didn't want to part with them. I loved Elite Calligraphy and you will too! :)
It was a true pleasure working with Genie! She made the process of getting our invites addressed as simple as possible and they came out wonderfully. Simple and elegant. Plus with so many choices it's hard to go wrong with Genie. She takes time to get to know you and you're not just another notch in the belt. Great service and a great product.
To whom it may concern,
We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Elite Calligraphy. I am a stressed out fiancé and seemingly behind every step of the wedding process. My job was to take care of the calligraphy and needed it done asap. Once I contacted Elite I spoke with Genie. She walked me through my options and happily met with me to pick the style. I've never met anyone more prepared. She took the time to review the details and took all the pressure off me. The wedding invitations were done within a couple days and she even added her own personal touch of Palm trees on every invite (we're doing destination in Mexico). Elite Calligraphy was a pleasure to work with and would proudly recommend them to anybody I know.
Genie did the calligraphy on my invitations and they came out beautiful! I got so many compliments from my guests. She was so easy to work with, very professional and timely. I highly recommend working with her!
Genie was always available to answer my questions. She was very helpful in getting new envelopes for the wedding invitations I had ordered on line as the envelopes were thin and not suitable. Genie found a great envelope replacement . She was professional and easy to communicate with. She designed an escort card for the wedding reception which was perfect for the venu!!
I was stumped on what to do about our wedding invites. I really did not want to pay for a calligrapher but I also wanted our invites to look nice. A few Google searches later I came across Elite Calligraphy and was blown away. I met with Genie in person seeing as we coincidentally lived near one another (though I am sure interacting online would have been just as painless). She made the whole process so easy! She showed me tons of beautiful fonts, which made choosing a style a breeze. Within just a few short weeks we had our invites back with all of the names and addresses printed beautifully. Not to mention, the price was so reasonable for such quality work. Thank you Genie!
Genie was fabulous to work with. Her work was spot on and always delivered a quality product! We used Genie for addressing our envelopes and escort cards, and everything came out beautifully!
Genie took all of the stress out of the envelope-addressing process. Her designs were elegant and fit right in with what we were looking for at reasonable cost. Service was very prompt and no-fuss. In the wedding planning process, the envelope calligraphy was one of my least stressful tasks because of Genie.
Genie Melkonian from Elite Calligraphy created the wedding invitations, table placards and table seating cards for my daughter's wedding. She did an outstanding job - Genie is organized, is an amazing editor, and had many good suggestions and ideas. She was very flexible, accommodating my schedule, and in many cases we were able to close details via email. The quality of her work is excellent. I would highly recommend her services.
I used Genie for my wedding invitations last spring. She was not only easy to work with, but the calligraphy was stunning! She was incredibly patient with my lack of knowledge about invitation etiquette and gave me a number of pointers on following the best traditions when it came to the wedding invitations. Her turnaround time was very fast, and when I accidentally made a mistake on one of the invitations, she mailed me a fresh one at no cost. I highly recommend Genie for your wedding or event!
This was such a beautiful and budget friendly alternative to handwritten calligraphy. It's so beautifully done you can hardly tell it isn't hand written. Genie was so friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her!
We used Elite Calligraphy for the wedding invitation packet and table escort cards. The style and quality of invitations and cards was perfect and at a great value. Genie worked with us to make sure that every detail was right and that we had everything on time. In fact we made a last minute change to an escort card and Genie made sure that we had it for the wedding day by overnight mailing it to the wedding location! Invitations may just be a small part of planning a wedding but Elite Calligraphy treated it like it was the most important thing to us. I would say that more important than the quality and value that we received was the exceptional service that Genie and Elite Calligraphy provided.
Genie at Elite Calligraphy was a perfectionist. We were very happy with how she matched perfectly the invitations with the envelopes. Everything was done perfectly and in a timely fashion and not very expensive. I highly recommend her.
I used Elite for addressing my invitations and then went back for my escort cards. Genie was amazing to work with. She was extremely responsive, professional, and accommodating. She helped me with correctly address the invites and gave great suggestions for front and positioning of the calligraphy - both products came out looking beautiful. All work was done on time - even when we had a quicker turnaround for the escort cards. Would recommend 100%!
Elite Calligraphy was recommended to me from a friend who used their envelope addressing services for her wedding. I was a little hesitant because we hadn't budgeted for a calligrapher. After the price quote we received for around 75 invitations and meeting with Genie, we were pleasantly surprised! Genie is a professional, detail-oriented woman who took the time to answer all our questions, gave us suggestions when we asked and was very responsive to my emails if I had questions after our meeting. It was one less detail in the wedding-planning process that we didn't have to worry about. Our envelopes came out perfect! We even went back to Elite for our personalized table numbers! I would highly recommend contacting Elite Calligraphy for your printing & calligraphy needs.
Genie was very professional and pleasant to deal with. She designed and printed a beautiful ceremony program, a bookmark for our library themed wedding and the out of town guest welcome notes. She also did a lovely job with the guest envelope addresses. Genie met all our deadlines and executed exactly as promised. I can't recommend her highly enough. She runs a top quality calligraphy service.
What a can I say about Elite Calligraphy. I found Genie's company online and I was a little nervous at first because I have never done anything online. When I spoke to her on the phone she was friendly and when I met her in person she was awesome.
Genie did our outer envelopes, place and seating cards and our returned address envelopes for our rsvp cards. She matched the color and calligraphy to our invitations. Her pricing is reasonable, she work with your budget and her turn around time is great. She reminded me of things I did not think about. E.g. returned address for the invitation.
Genie professionalism and quality of work exceeded my expectation and she give you great advise. My friends and family called and text me about how great they look.
I will definitely recommend Elite Calligraphy to everyone!!!
My name is Joe and I am the Father of the Bride. I took on the role of the invitations to take some stress off our daughter. I did a google search and up came Elite Calligraphy. I started searching for the types of invitations they have and the price and I found it to be very inexpensive but needed to meet the owner in person to make sure the quality was excellent. I met Genie Melkonian, the owner, and she was extremely professional and had many samples to show me. I got a late start on this process and had less than 2 months until the wedding. Genie assured I would get the invitations within a week and delivered in less time with quality and with cost effectiveness. When it came time to deliver the table assignment cards, the same quality was produced. I have a son getting married in 2015 and will use her again. Thank you Genie!
Genie was a pleasure to work with...she provided calligraphied envelopes and placement cards for my daughter's wedding in October 2013. Her turn-around time was quick, and she is professional and friendly...the prices were a great value and the quality of work was excellent...My impression of Genie from our first appointment together was that she truly loves what she does!!
I would highly recommend Elite Calligraphy.
