Where do I even begin with describing how absolutely wonderful Michele is? I spent what felt like ages looking for a calligrapher who could pre-fill out my ceremonial marriage certificate and to do the placecards for the wedding reception. After sending many emails and not hearing back from anyone, I decided to do a Yelp blast and Michele was the first person to respond. Even though she's based on Staten Island, we were able to work out a time to meet up in the city for both drop off and pick up of my items. Throughout the entire process, Michele was amazing. She is incredibly attentive to detail, really cares about producing quality work that would fill her clients with joy, oh, and she happens to be the world's biggest sweetheart. As she worked, she contacted me to show me her progress and when I saw the place cards she made for my husband and me, I totally ugly cried some tears of joy! It was such a beautiful and surreal moment! Her prices are also so incredibly reasonable and transparent! I will definitely be working with her again in the future! read more

Michele was a dream to work with. I reached out on yelp on 12/11 and she called me within 30 minutes to discuss the project. She walked me through some options I hadn't considered (paper quality, color of ink, title, additional flourishes) without being "salesy", and she had a quote to me that evening. Her prices are comparable to other quotes I received, plus packing/shipping. I initially hoped I might be able to pick up the piece in person, but Michele is based in Staten Island and told me this during our first call. I appreciated that Michele was up front about her location, and I was happy to pay the packing/shipping fees. Michele put a lot of care into the packaging--the piece was placed within a cardboard mailer, inside more cardboard, inside a waterproof mailer with "Do Not Bend!" written on it multiple times. I went from contacting Michele on 12/11 to having the piece in hand on 12/17. I highly recommend her! read more

Michele is fabulous! She did an amazing job on the 2 Christmas ornaments I asked her for her assistance with. I cannot write neatly and needed someone quickly. She lives in my neighborhood, and had my job done in days! And beautiful. She is very talented, sweet and I would recommend her to all my friends and family. She went the extra mile to make sure they turned out perfectly. read more

Yelp came through again! Calligraphy by Michele was a great find. I was looking for weeks for someone in the area to do a small project and no one was willing to do it as "it was too small". Michele was a pleasure to work with. She did not mind how small of a project it was. She was completely professional to work with and her skills were simply amazing. I recommend her fully and would recommend anyone who needs calligraphy work done to use Michele. read more

I wanted to leave This review to let everyone know if you need a professional calligrapher Michele is the place to go. Her guidance on how to properly word the invites was a tremendous help.. thank you!! Her professionalism and her expertise is second to none! When I received my wedding invitation envelopes back from Michele. I was blown away. Not only with how fantastic they came out but the presentation of how she so nicely wrapped them in a ribbon.. threw in rose pedals and wrapped them in tissue paper. Far exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much Michele for helping in my special day! Thank you Melissa M.( signed in under my cousins account ). Thanks Michele! read more

michele clark was the best vendor i dealt with throughout my entire wedding process. my cousin here in miami gave me her info and i was a bit skeptical at first to ship all my envelopes to nyc to a woman ive never met. but wow, looking back i cant believe i doubted it even for a second. i was so happy with the invitations that i shipped over the place cards as well. she is totally trustworthy. she goes above and beyond to make sure you are completely happy with every detail. she is very responsive, i never had to wait more than 24 hours for a reply. she works fast and has great turn around time (within the week). she is really organized and super affordable!! and her handwriting is just beautiful. she has quite a few different styles (i went with "katie") im still getting compliments on how gorgeous my envelops and place cards were!! read more

I discovered Michele Clark after the most frustrating search for a calligrapher in NYC. I stumbled across a review of her work on Wedding Bee, hopped onto her blog, and was SOLD on the spot! Her work is just phenomenal and she was a joy to work with. I had the most amazing wedding vendors across the board, but Michele was THE best. She was responsive to all of my emails and queries (no matter how silly the question!), she made the design process painless and her turnaround time was amazing. I simply shipped my invitations off to Staten Island at our prearranged date and they were done in record time! I was so thrilled with her work on our invitations (and received countless rave reviews from my guests) that I reserved her right away to do our escort cards as well. Michele is an absolute GEM and I would highly recommend her to any bride, near or far! read more

Michele does beautiful work and at very affordable prices. For the NYC area, the value can't be beat. She is very pleasant to deal with, flexible and timely. We had our placecards for our wedding done by Michele and they were lovely. I was so fortunate to stumble across her. We had some last minute changes to make too and she worked with us on that seamlessly. Don't let her Staten Island location fool you - you can work with her solely online and using the mail if you don't have a car. Pass the word - she's a hidden gem! read more

Michele was so wonderful to work with! She is incredibly talented with a wide variety of styles and she was so responsive. I shipped my envelopes to her and had them back in no time. I will definitely use her again for the place cards at my wedding. Her prices are so reasonable and she really does make sure everything is just the way you want it. Couldn't recommend her more! read more

Hands down, there is no one more talented or efficient. She has come to the rescue numerous times, with a breadth of skills including invitations, menus, wedding and birthday printed accessories. Her quality, integrity and heart, shine through everything she touches! read more

Michele was probably the easiest vendor I have dealt with yet! Her work is beautiful, I've received so many compliments. Not only that but her turnaround is QUICK and at a reasonable price. I absolutely could not recommend her more and will definitely be sharing her name with other brides and grooms to be. read more

Michele is great! Her work is amazing and she is incredibly timely - she had my invitations done DAYS before she said she would. I absolutely will use her again and again and will definitely recommend her to others. read more

Michele is unbelievably talented and amazing to work with. Her communication and client service is top notch, the price is extraordinarily fair, and the work is impeccable. We worked with Michele throughout the entire year, having her prepare our wedding envelopes (out going and RSVP), as well as personalizing our escort cards. We received SO many compliments on the envelopes, that not only did one of my guests frame theirs, but our wedding planner said that it's the best calligraphy she's ever seen (and this is a very well known planner). Michele not only ensured that we were satisfied with her work, but she provided feedback and recommendations to ensure that they looked the best that they possibly could. Her location was also no issue for us at all. My fiance and I live in NYC (no car) , and she is in Staten Island. We worked with her through mail and it was the most seamless, worry free set up. Although I never met Michele in person, I look forward to doing so some day! She is fantastic and my #1 recommendation. read more
