We cannot recommend Jessica enough! Our welcome sign and our table cards were beautiful and in our magical Shakespearian theme. She wrote out our place cards on fake Eucalyptus leafs in this stunning gold ink. Most of our friends and family kept theirs, one of our bridesmaids even keeps it in her phone case she loved it so much. Thank you so much Jessica for adding this bit of magic to our day!
Jessica does beautiful work! She made name cards for each guest, a welcome sign, and other signage for our tables. She is professional, communicates well, and she double checks to ensure that everything is how you want it to look before the big day. I highly recommend using her services - she helped make our wedding reception lovely.
You know how as a bride you overhype things in your head for like a year or the entire time you plan a wedding? And sometimes you overhype something too much so it’s impossible for reality to meet the year-long vision you’ve created in your head? Jess not only met my VER SPECIFIC vision, but it honestly turned out so much better than I had even hoped. She is so flexible (she had to work with material I already purchased), communicative, flexible, timely- I could go on. And that does not begin to capture her talent as an artist. She is truly brilliant. Thank you so, so much, Jess!
Simply put, Jess did a truly A+ job with the signage at our wedding. Everything was absolutely beautiful and true to our vision. She very helpfully sent us proofs of everything to make sure it was just right before starting on the actual signs, and was flexible in coordinating pick up and drop off times for the mirrors we rented from her. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for beautiful signage!
Jessica was amazing! If you are planning a wedding, I highly suggest hiring her as your calligrapher. Her signage and place cards really elevated our whole wedding. She understood my vision to a T and suggested great wording and ideas to fit my theme! We ended up doing a giant welcome sign, gorgeous mirror seating chart, lots of mini signs for throughout the reception, and place cards with each guest’s names on it. Cannot recommend her enough, I couldn’t image the day without the gorgeous signage! Our guests really enjoyed all of our tiny details that went into our day and she played a huge role in that.
Jessica is a fantastic calligrapher with flexibility, patience, and a creative vision – she is worth hiring! I had always wanted a gorgeous mirror seating chart, and Jessica created an exceptional design for ours, as seen in the photos. She has a great selection of rentable items that she will personalize for your own design. I first talked with her about a year before the wedding, when she sent over a clear contract with fair pricing. She then was organized and reached out to me at just the right time to set up a video call to talk through the final layout and design. We emailed back and forth, and she was exceptionally patient as I was changing little details. She completed the mirror early, which made it so much easier on us that week! She understood how busy we were and coordinated an easy pickup and return. A part of me wishes we would’ve worked with Jessica on more than just the seating chart, she has other beautiful designs and projects. Jessica does not disappoint, and I highly recommend her!
Such beautiful calligraphy for our wedding invitations. Jessica was able to complete our invitations quickly and even helped us out when the envelopes we provided her were wrong! We got so many compliments about the calligraphy and how beautiful it was.
Absolutely beautiful calligraphy for our wedding place cards. Jessica was super responsive, delightful to work with, and her work was just stunning. Thank you!
Jessica was so wonderful to work with for a few signs for our wedding! We had received so many compliments on them and they really tied everything together for our day. I can not recommend her enough!
This review is well overdue!
My wife and I are so lucky that we found Jessica! She was highly recommended through our venue The Haight, and after working with her we can absolutely understand why. Her knowledge of her craft, and calligraphy talent went well above our expectations! We had her create multiple pieces for us to include our welcome sign (beautifully done on a mirror), ceremony schedule (gorgeous rustic window pane), and our seating chart (stunning rustic door). Jessica was so patient with us whenever we had to rearrange our seating chart due to guests availability changing. Jessica was very communicative which was helpful given that my wife and I planned our wedding entirely apart overseas, and she was so flexible with navigating the time difference.
Honestly, if you’re looking for someone to do anything related to calligraphy we highly recommend her!
Thanks so much again!
I loved that Jessica sent a preview to confirm the style / it met my expectations. The drop off and pick up was quick and easy. She was prompt with responses on the timeline, estimates, and in updating the invoice when quantity changes were required (covid…). I wish I could upload photos because everyone raved about the personal coasters that were used as the escort cards that Jessica did for us. The table numbers were equally as great!
Jess was absolutely AMAZING! Her work is STUNNING and she made our wedding stationary perfect!!! We could not be happier with her services! She was incredibly helpful and so great to work with! I would recommend Jess to anyone looking for Calligraphy!
Jessica was amazing and helped me with what I needed.
Her work was perfect and had lots of compliments at the wedding.
Thank you Jessica!
Jessica is fantastic! She addressed our wedding envelopes, wrote our place cards and created a beautiful welcome sign for our wedding. She helped create the most beautiful pieces for our special day and we couldn't be happier.
We searched high and low for a calligrapher, and, within the first 5 minutes of our initial conversation with Jessica, we knew that Jessica Draper Calligraphy was THE one!
We had a pretty clear vision of the calligraphy pieces we needed for our botanical-inspired wedding. Jessica's attentiveness, professionalism, and pure talent made our vision come to life even better than we could have imagined.
All of the pieces that Jessica made for us were stunning! From the table numbers to the bar menus, seating chart, and place cards, her work really helped us tie the aesthetic of our day together. Even weeks after our wedding, guests are still raving about the vintage postcard place cards that Jessica made for us.
In addition to being incredibly talented, Jessica is an all-around wonderful human being. We highly recommend her to any couple considering including calligraphy pieces on their big day. Trust us; you will not regret it.
Jessica did an excellent work. Beyond happy with the results. She was able to fit in my order last minute and I couldn’t be happier.
Will definitely recommend!
Jessica's work is absolutely stunning and she's so amazing to work with so it made it an incredible experience. She did our seating chart on a vintage 2 pane mirror and it was just gorgeous. Everyone kept commenting on it and she even changed the design to match our wedding invitations. Seriously if you're debating on having any sort of calligraphy, i cannot recommend her more!
Jessica was great to work with and her work is just beautiful!!
Jessica was amazing with calligraphy for our invite envelopes! She accommodated our pretty last minute request and got them back to us sooner than promised! We have gotten so many compliments from our guests on them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a calligrapher for anything. We would also definitely use her again!
We loved the welcome sign Jessica created for my daughter's wedding and they are going to frame it for their home. While the wedding plans changed, we still had the beautiful sign to welcome guests both in person and via Zoom!
Jessica did calligraphy on mirrors for our seating chart, signature cocktail, and welcome sign. She did an AMAZING job!! I got so many compliments from the guests!!!
She was also super communicative and included me in all the decisions ex. what mirrors she was using, if the format was okay, what color to do the writing in. She was also super flexible with me making changes to the seating chart, etc.
I would highly recommend her for all your calligraphy needs!!
Jessica did beautiful work! It was amazing! The place cards were so beautiful and the beautiful mirror she did extra! Highly recommend!
Jessica was super awesome and helpful through out the entire process. I was a very undecided bride but she helped me understand what would work best for both my wedding vision (we did a dungeons and dragons themed wedding) and my budget. She helped me make 2 family crest banners, 2 dragon banners, and the majority of the signs and it turned out like a dream!
Jessica is wonderful to work with! She helped me with a project for our daughters wedding. It turned out beautifully and was truly a special gift thanks to the personalization that Jessica helped to add. Working with her was easy and she was able to turn our project around quickly which was greatly appreciated. I will definitely reach out to her with any future needs i have!
Jessica is super talented, creative & easy to work with. The table numbers she made for me were amazing and everyone at the wedding was talking about them. Could not recommend her more and can't wait to work with her again!!!
Jessica is VERY good at what she does. I really enjoyed working with her. She helped me with signage toward the end of my wedding planning, but what she really does was pull together the whole aesthetic of my greenery themed wedding. I will forever keep the signs she made for the card/gift table, signature drinks, and favors. She also made signs for the menu, schedule of wedding day, and seating chart. She has a lot of great equipment available to rent for a reasonable price, which was very helpful and help minimize additional costs. My favorite detail she did was print individual place cards for seating assignments on eucalyptus leaves... absolutely loved this. Thank you Jessica for being so detail oriented, creative, and professional!
Jessica was terrific to work with! I gave her short notice on completing a Certificate of Marriage for a wedding I was performing in less than a week. She came through for me! The certificate was beautiful! Her calligraphy was outstanding! I highly recommend her services!
Jessica designed a beautiful welcome sign for my wedding this August. Jessica was very responsive to emails and was willing to send a proof and make any necessary adjustments prior to the final design. Jessica was easy to work with and I would definitely reccomend her for any of your calligraphy needs!
Jessica, was delightful and professional to work with from the initial design stage to the delivery of our tags.
Even tho our project was small, she was dependable and detailed which gave us confidence!
I honestly don't understand how she writes so perfectly! Jessica did an amazing job on a long piece we asked her to do for us. She wrote vows from my husband to my daughter that he shared at our wedding. We would only trust Jessica to do something so important for us and SHE DELIVERED. I swear you won't be disappointed with her work. She's easy to work with and oh so creative!
Jessica Draper Calligraphy understands the importance of adding special touches to really make the details of your big day stand out. She was more than accommodating with all my needs. She was very professional, as well as personal. She listened to my ideas and made them a reality. Her talent and unique style was greatly appreciated. She was able to make various decor and signage personalized in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone looking to add a little extra attention to detail on your big day!
Where do I begin with Jessica?!? I met her a bridal expo and fell in love with her immediately! There’s so many calligraphers out there but I really connected with Jessica and that’s what made me choose her, not to mention how incredibly talented she is!! She did some really beautiful work for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Jessica is so fun and so kind... seriously, use Jessica!!!
Jessica was absolutely incredible! Very professional and affordable! We were so In love with how our mirrors turned out! I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to use her services! They were done on time and communication was excellent!
I'm so grateful I found Jessica!
With our 5th wedding anniversary around the corner I wanted to have the notes we wrote to each other on our wedding day written out to framed. Jessica took my vision and brought it to life! The final notes are beautiful and I can not wait to give them to my husband. : )
Thank you Jessica for all your hard work, for communicating clearly and quickly! The whole process from contract to deposit was a breeze and I would recommend Jessica to anyone.
Jessica was a pleasure to work with! She is very professional, has excellent communication, fast replies, and of course, I love her work!
Jessica did a beautiful job on our shower favors. We received so many compliments! Thank you!!
Jessica's work is fantastic! She absolutley loves what she does and she is very talented. I had a last minute request and she was able to pull it off and was still able to 'wow' us.
Jessica addressed my wedding envelopes and I can’t tell you how much I loved them! She used navy blue ink because my invitations were navy and gold. The envelopes I got for my invitations were ivory and shimmery and we weren’t sure how the ink would turn out.... it was possible it could have smudged, but she took the time to test out the ink and sure enough they came out perfect! She was fast yet the quality was exactly what I wanted! I’d highly recommend you using her for any of your wedding needs!
Jessica was very responsive, prompt, and her work was elegant and well received.
Jessica was extremely easy to work with, even allowed me to pick up and drop off at random times working around my crazy work schedule. She was extremely prompt in her response and communication. Her work turned out beautifully and I’m so excited for everyone to receive the invitations!!! Highly recommend!!!
Jessica was so easy to work with. She helped me out in a pinch when my original calligrapher fell through. Essentially, that was a blessing in disguise as Jessica’s quality, and communication were amazing. If I have any other needs for my wedding, I will DEFINITELY go to Jessica!
I cannot say enough good things about Jessica and her work! I got about 18 cards done to ask my bridesmaids and flower girls to be in my wedding, and she did a few for my parents, too. I just got them back today and I am so in love with them. What she did with the cards was exactly what I envisioned and asked of her. As an added bonus, her personality is just as great as her work. She was so sweet and fun to work with. She made the process so easy and smooth, too. I cannot wait to use her for other aspects of my wedding, and will definitely be recommending her to others! I am so excited to give these cards to my bridesmaids!!
Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She was a blast to work with and the minute we met I knew she was the perfect match for me. So many great ideas she had for me after we talked! I trusted her completely! Everything she did was more than I could have imagined and turned out beautifully! (Place cards, outer envelopes, and hotel bags). I would work with her again in a heart beat!
I used Jessica Draper Calligraphy for my daughter's wedding and she is amazing. Not only is her work impeccable and creative, she is very easy to work with. She wants to work with you and make sure her work reflects a part of you as well. I will be using Jessica for additional parties and personalized gifts.
