Out of all my wedding vendors, Michelle was truly my favorite person to work with. She's so helpful, professional, and responsive. She did the calligraphy for my wedding invitatio...
ns and they were so beautiful, we then asked her to do the place cards. There may be others who can do nice calligraphy work, but Michelle really is just a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond and answered so many questions about logistics, etiquette, etc. I would absolutely recommend her!!
I'm getting married out of the country and I was under tremendous time pressure when I contacted Michelle. The company that made my invitations made a major mistake and they had to...
be remade which left me very little time to have them addressed and sent in time for guests to plan for a foreign trip. Michelle had excellent communication with me from the start, she was able to offer excellent advice on some questions that I had and she did a beautiful job in very short time frame. I heard back from almost every single guest that my invitations were the most beautiful that they've ever seen. Michelle really saved me and thanks to her efficiency some of my U.S. guests had time to make plans and will be attending the wedding. If my wedding was in the states I'd definitely hire her to plan it!
I can't say enough about Michelle. To begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for the work she did; words just can't say enough. From the beginning, Michelle had a warm and ...
humble approach. In my search for a planner, I was looking for someone who would create my big dream on a budget. I had narrowed it down to Michelle and another "famous planner". Needless to say, after a couple of conversations, Michelle had sold me with her genuine personality. I knew instantly that my decision to go with her was the right one. As time progressed, Michelle not only planned my wedding but really became a part of our family. I was a very particular hands on bride and Michelle had the utmost patience to deal with me. She always listened to what I wanted and never stopped until my vision came to light. Michelle helped filter alot of stress and always gave me advice to get through the stressful moments. She always kept me on target with deadlines which I desperately needed. She always knew what I needed and when. My day came together as I imagined it would and Michelle played such a big role. I had a blast and I absolutely adore Michelle for all that she did. She is a honorary part of our family and anyone would be lucky to have her services.

ing you to dream a bit. Michelle treated our wedding as if she was throwing her own family member a great bash. She is the reason I was able to enjoy the experience and I will forever remember what she did for me.
Simply stated, she's a gem!

It was important to...
me to work with people who were reliable and pleasant to work with - Michelle surpassed all my expectations. Not only was her work fantastic and reasonably priced, but she was an absolute joy to work with - very accommodating, reliable, sweet, timely and communicative.
(She even painstakingly (and delicately) removed the stamps from a number of envelopes that I'd stupidly stamped upside down. Knowing that I was pressed for time, she simply fixed the problem and let me know.)
I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for calligraphy!

ul and she was always willing to meet me on short notice if need be, which is great when a bride is trying to tie up last minute details for the wedding. I've had several of our guests comment on how beautiful our wedding invitation enveloped were and I can't wait for them to see everything else Michelle did (our vows look incredible!). I would, and will, recommend Michelle to any bride!
