Patti was fantastic and super easy to work with. She sourced a vintage mirror for me and added a beautiful patina to it to make it the perfect vintage gold. She sent me photos as s...
he was creating the seating chart and easily made adjustments. She was affordable, kind and created a WOW piece for my wedding! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a calligrapher.
To say that Patti blew us away would be an understatement....
We came to Patti with a very specific, technically-challenging request. We needed her to write, in calligraphic scrip...
t, the names and table numbers of our wedding guests on natural clam shells. Each clam shell was irregular in dimension and had grooved surfaces that would make normal inks bleed into them that blurred and muddied the script. Patti's work was absolutely stunning, flawlessly executed, and provided the perfect personal touch to our nautical-themed wedding. Her passion for her business shines through in everything she does, and she couldn't help but give us a number of extra accessories to complete the shell placeholder display. She also hand-painted us a beautiful wedding gift that is on display in our home. You simply cannot go wrong with "Simply Done."
Patti was wonderful to work with. I was extremely busy when I inquired about a seating chart and she was extremely understanding and patient with me. Our mirrored seating chart cam...
e out exactly how I wanted. We were thrilled and got so many compliments. I highly recommend her. She does exquisite work.
Patti, from Simply Done, was a tremendous help with personalizing our wedding decorations. She is very creative and has fantastic ideas. She sewed so many runners for our tables ...
and came up with the idea of making a customized flag that we can hang for every special event going forward. She made us a lap quilt with the scraps from our runners as a surprise gift! Not only was that so touching, but it became a centerpiece as we laid the quilt over the birch bench used to sit during our ceremony. Patti’s work is reasonably priced and she gets everything completed well in advance of the wedding. She enjoys what she does and it comes through in all her craft and design ideas. We could not have been more pleased with everything she did for us. Our guests loved the elegant decorations and want to hire her for their own events! We highly recommend Patti, from Simply Done, for helping making our wedding celebration even more special!
Patti was absolutely amazing! I hired her to do the calligraphy for my invitations and I received many compliments on it from the guests. When we met, she asked me if there was any...
thing else she could help me with. I am not a crafty or creative person so I told her some ideas I had but had no clue where to start or how to execute those ideas. She took care of everything from there! She did more than I would have ever done for myself, and at very affordable rate. Even very simple things like finding me frames, creating signage, etc. She was also very responsive which is always a huge help in the mind of a planning bride. Its clear that she loves what she does and wants to do whatever she can to help ease the bride's worries on her big day. I am so pleased that I found her because she truly made the wedding process less stressful.
Had it not been for Patti's immeasurable guidance and craftsmanship, I would have been lost in the sea of wedding planning. She walked me through anything and everything that I was...
unsure of, always prompt in responding to queries and new ideas , and was able to take our vision for the day and make it into a beautiful reality. Every item crafted was simply incredible, every touch was personal and allowed for our story to be told. I cannot recommend her enough! She helped to make our wedding truly extraordinary!
Long story short: We needed some quick calligraphy work on our envelopes because due to circumstances the time line we were working under had shifted a bit. Patti was amazing to wo...
rk with from the word Go. Very responsive, an extremely nice person, very flexible, and super high quality work. As we speak we are getting very good responses from the people receiving our invitations. To top it off the prices were very reasonable (to be honest I think she should be charging more, really :-). Due to Patti's amazing help our invitations went out according to schedule. We will definitely use her in the future for all our calligraphy needs.
Simply done is an amazing resource and always nails the special, custom details my clients need. Card boxes, escort cards, signage, custom linens....you name it, Simply Done can m...
ake it and make it WELL! Highly recommend to all of my clients!

Patti was great to work with. She came to our first meeting extremely prepared with options, ideas, and stories. She helped me select an appropriate style and executed beautifully....
We received many compliments on the calligraphy addressing of our wedding invitations. I am a very satisfied customer! Thank you Patti!
If you want beautiful calligraphy at a great price, look no further! We weren't sure if we had calligraphy in our wedding budget, but after some research online we found Patti as o...
ne of the most reasonably priced in the area with a nice range of modern-calligraphy styles in her online portfolio.
Patti is super flexible & very nice to work with. She had lots of thoughtful ideas for us throughout the wedding planning, she would send us photos when she saw items that might be nice decorations to go with the look/"theme" of our wedding. In addition to standard calligraphy on envelopes & place cards, we ended up using her help for some last minute DIY projects. For example, at the rehearsal dinner we used actual seashells as place cards. Patti did such a beautiful job writing everyone’s names on the shells. Patti does more than just calligraphy & is also a talented sewer. She custom made 2 small heart shaped pillows for us to resemble traditional German gingerbread cookies, like the ones you see at Oktoberfest ;) The time & effort she put into all her work far exceeded the pricing she charged.
We got tons of compliments on her work (from guests who received invites to strangers at the post office.)
The groom was from Germany, so we had some difficult European names & addresses on our guest list. We did have to send a few items back to Patti for spelling corrections, but she was very fast to send replacements at her own mailing expense & made sure we had everything on time. (This might not even be an issue if you have all American names / addresses.)
Patti's beautiful calligraphy, thoughtful planning suggestions, the extreme amount of effort she puts into custom DIY projects & her low costs definitely deserve 5 stars!
We hired Patti to do the calligraphy for our invitations as well as our escort cards and table numbers. She did a great job and I would definitely hire her again.
My only complain...
t is that there were a couple of smudges on two of the envelopes for our invitations. However, when we noticed a minor spelling error for one person's name, she immediately completed a new one and sent it to us.
I was married August, 2013 on Cape Cod. My mother went to Patti when she was looking to have a keepsake gift made for my husband and I, as well as something that we could use at ou...
r wedding. Patti made this beautiful card box for guest to place cards into (there's a photo of it on Simply Done's Knot page and her own website!) Patti made the box so we could use it as a keepsake box after. I have all of my wedding memories, photos, garter, cards, etc. in it. It's so perfect!
Patti was also kind enough to custom frame our wedding invitation with a beautiful fabric floral display inside the frame around the edges of the invitation. We have that sitting on our mantle.
Patti's work is worth ever penny and then some!
Patti is extremely detail oriented and a pleasure to work with. She helped me create my perfect wedding vision from the gorgeous lace bows she designed for me as well as my unique...
and creative seating chart (made of luggage tags for our travel-themed wedding!). I was able to relax and enjoy my day knowing that Patti was there, executing my day flawlessly. Can't thank you enough!
Thank you! Thank you! Our wedding was everything we dreamed and you were a big part of the details!
We used Simply Done after our first calligrapher messed up our invitations and we had to order all new envelopes and belly bands. Patti was great! She did exactly what I wanted a...
nd in only a few days. We used her for our place cards and labels for our candy table as well and they looked great.
