If you are stressed about sending out beautiful invitations and know that your handwriting just…read moredoes not cut it, Genie is your lady! She's like a magical calligraphy fairy, and a very detail-oriented, cheerful one at that. Her process is really simple~on her Web site, you choose which font(s) you'd like and send her your list of addresses and envelopes. She will then send you a detailed cost estimate and a sense of the timing to expect. Genie will contact you with any questions (she standardized my list so that all "Apartments" were spelled out) and she really understands how to work with frazzled brides!! Genie is also gracious when taking your suggestions. Because some of our invitations were destined for British addresses, I found that the Genevieve font was much more legible for the postal code numbers than the Daniella font (which we did use for our Boston list). Genie took care of each set of addresses and the envelopes were mailed to us very promptly. I can't thank Genie enough for working with me on my invitations. Brides know this can be a stressful process (I think I've even mentioned the word stress twice in this review!), and Elite Calligraphy takes a lot of the pressure away.

She's a joy to work with so much so that when my kids couldn't figure out what to get me for a gift they made a handmade gift certificate to study with Liz cause they knew I'd LOVE that for sure! Her styles are so much more fun, playful, varied (including romantic and modern) than anyone I've met. Her passion for lettering makes the time fly. In my first class with her there was a woman who had never calligraphied before and me - we both learned a ton and I was amazed at what a newcomer could accomplish in one class!!!! Many thanks and see you soon!!!

This review should be 2 stars but I feel bad tarnishing this page solely because I have zero…read morepatience for individuals being unable to effectively communicate via email in 2015. I will start by saying that I was perfectly satisfied with the work Liz did for me. If this review was based on quality vs. price, it would have been 5 stars. What I was not pleased with was how many times I had to poke and prod her to get an actual result. I had been working on a tattoo idea for about 3 years. Finally committed to some text and wanted a professional to draw it out in pretty font. Nothing on Microsoft word was jiving with me, so I decided to look into a calligrapher. Liz had the highest ratings on yelp. 2 stars seems really harsh, but when I write a yelp review, I think about whether I would recommend the business to a friend. In this particular case, I can't say that I would. After initially reaching out and getting no response, I sent a follow up email 8 days later to see if she was even interested in doing the work for me since it was such a small project. Frankly, overcharging someone for doing one sentence worth of work, versus hundreds of envelopes for a wedding seems kind of a no brainer to me...whatever amount she would have suggested...I would have happily paid. Courtesy is also another big thing for me--it's 2015, I know you have a smart phone and, as such, nearly 24-7 access to email. A simple "Hey, thanks for your email. Sorry I'm super swamped for the next couple of weeks, can I touch base then?" would have been more than OK. After Liz confirmed that she would do the text for me, it took another 6 days to set up a paypal transaction. I paid within half hour of receiving the email prompt and then it took another 3 days to actually get the file via email. Again, all if this would have been OK had she not emailed me that I'd have the file the next day. Again--nothing wrong with the quality--at the end of the day I got several options to work with, but I cannot tolerate this level of slowness/unresponsiveness. I can't imagine paying her to do wedding invites and then sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear back.

Her sense of color, scale, and materiality are top notch, and her resulting work is so inviting and beautiful, there's no mistaking that it was crafted by hand and with great consideration and care. Her work makes me wish everything could be calligraphed, or that we can at least go back to the days of hand-calligraphed notes and invitations in our daily lives! If you're lucky enough to have an occasion to seek this kind of work, she's the artist you need. And her custom engravings are to die for!
