My fiance and I are getting married a week from Saturday; and couldn't be happier with everything Laura Hooper has done for our wedding. We decided to use her for her map save the dates (which turned out incredible) and in the end had her do our wedding invitations, place-cards & favors, rehearsal dinner invitations, bridal luncheon invitations, and she even made us tote bags and shirts for the wedding party! Everything turned out wonderful! The map save the date (which we used on the shirts and totes) was a great idea; those coming from out of town (were getting married in NYC) have used it to get their bearings of the city, and those from the city enjoyed seeing all the landmarks pertinent to our lives up here. It has been a big hit! Aside from her artistic abilities, Laura has been a huge stress reliever throughout the process. Dealing with her directly, we could count on her ensure everything was done perfectly, and have her give us a heads up on when to expect everything, which you can't get dealing with a huge supplier. It made the whole experience so much easier and less stressful! However, I think that best of all, we have appreciated the custom designs, unique to our wedding. It has made my fiance happier than you can imagine as her style is reflected in everything! I can't recommend her enough! read more

Laura Hooper is simply brilliant. I just finished mailing out my Save the Dates that Laura designed and have heard nothing but rave compliments from my friends at family. She has a keen sense of what each individual is looking for in their invitations / stationary and will tailor each piece to your unique personality and likes. Laura's work is gorgeous and she is relentless when it comes to attention to detail. I am getting married in Maui, and have practically been raised on the island, and Laura was so wonderful and helpful at creating TONS of personalized pictures / icons of my & my fiances favorite places in Hawaii. I am absolutely obsessed with my save the date, and already have it framed in my bedroom. I can not wait to work with Laura on my invitations, I know they will be nothing short of exquisite! If you are considering using Laura, DO IT, it was one of the best decisions I made thus far in wedding planning! You will be so happy with everything that she does, and all the products she turns out for you. And Laura, if you are reading this THANK YOU so much for all your hard work on my Save the Dates! You are greatly appreciated! read more

SWOON!! I loved, loved, loved working with Laura! We asked Laura to create one of her fabulous maps for our Save the Dates. They came out sooo adorable and exceeded our expectations! She responded to me almost instantly each time I emailed her. The whole process was very fast and I received my STD's in only 2 weeks. Our guests loved them and many of the compliments we recieved were from guys! (Who says they don't appreciate the details?!) I loved my Save the Dates so much, that I contacted Laura to make my invitations as well! I met with her at her studio and we worked together to create my dream invites!! She has the most beautiful calligraphy and I just couldn't get enough of her. So, I also asked her to make a large dinner menu for our reception in her stunning calligraphy and some other little lable goodies for our OOT bags. Every single item I ordered with her came out better than I could have hoped! Laura's work is awesome and is worth every penny!All of the pieces she made are definitely one of my favorite elements of our wedding! Thanks Laura we had so much fun working with you! read more

LOVE!! I found Laura through The Wedding Library in NYC. She has so many cute things -- including maps, totes, save the dates, seating charts, everything! When I went on to her site, I realized that she has already created a map of the area in Northern Michigan where I was getting married. Although I didn't know that I needed or wanted such a map, because it's a destination wedding, we thought it would be so fun to use the map as the background for our guest book (we're going to frame the map so that our guests can sign around it). We also decided to have prints made of the map for our wedding party. Not only is Laura's style so cute, and she was so easy to work with (because the map had already been created, I just made a few changes and it was really reasonable!), she responded to all of my requests almost immediately. I can't say enough how great she is. I definitely recommend her to anyone!!! read more

Laura Hooper Calligraphy is a class act! I worked with Laura directly and she was so easy to communicate with and extremely quick to respond to my questions. The forms she provided for creating an order are very simple and easy to use. She's put a lot of time into making the ordering process easy and it shows. I ordered maps for my wedding guest gift bags and they were on my doorstep within a day or two of finalizing the proof. I couldn't believe how fast the turn around was and the maps are absolutely adorable! Laura improved on every tweak or change I had to the existing map I was using. I can't wait for our guests to see them next month - they are so unique and fun and I am sure there will be much "Ooohing and Awwwing" over them! Though there are many frustrating things that can happen during wedding planning, Laura Hooper is a true professional and her work does not disappoint! read more

I was referred to Laura by my best friend who had her wedding invitations done by Laura. They were absolutely gorgeous. I originally came to Laura to have her do my wedding invitations as well. When I met with her I also saw her maps. I fell in love with the attention to detail and customization of her maps. Laura created a map of Carmel, CA that was unique to my wedding. She was extremely flexible with incorporating all the sites that were significant for our event, and also added in some cute surprises. Our map is very fun and whimsical and a fantastic souvenir for our wedding. Laura also addressed our envelopes in calligraphy. They turned out gorgeous! Laura was extremely flexible and easy to work with. She was available to meet at times that were convenient for me. I will definitely use Laura again in the future for other events! read more

WOW! Laura Hooper is AMAZING at what she does! I used Laura for many many items at our wedding (i.e., escort cards, table names, chalkboard menu, place cards, invitation addresses, favor tags, etc...), and everything was absolutely beautifully done! Laura is quick to respond to emails, is flexible, and made every attempt to keep me happy throughout the process. She made things so easy, and I would highly recommend her to any bride out there who is looking to add that special touch to her wedding. Laura's work is beautiful... you will not regret booking her! Thanks again for everything, Laura! Warmly, Sharon Reid Reynolds read more

Laura Hooper did the sand dollar place cards for my wedding. She was amazing to work with and the finished product was beautiful - my wedding guests are using them as Christmas tree ornaments - something I hadn't thought of! We had a destination wedding and the sand dollars that were shipped directly to the hotel got stuck in customs. Laura offered to re-create my set of sand dollars (in ONE day!!) and ship them to my parents so they could carry them on the plane - so amazing!!! She didn't even charge me for the second set. She truly cares about her customers. I HIGHLY recommend using her for anything related to your event! read more

If you are getting married, or planning any type of event, Laura is the person to contact! She will work with you to create a unique design for your special occasion. She is very responsive and a pleasure to work with - her turnaround time is incredible, and she truly wants you to be happy with the result. She drew a custom map of the coastal village in Greece where I am getting married. She will also be printing the map she drew on beach totes for our wedding guests! How much fun is that!?! With all of the wedding planning madness, she will put the fun into doing something special. Thank you so much Laura!! read more

I could not be more impressed with Laura Hooper's work. I ordered calligraphy for place cards just last week, and I could not have been more thrilled when I opened them up today. The calligraphy is stunning (STUNNING! I chose the Allegro font) and they arrived beautifully wrapped within days (a feat, given that I was ordering from Norway). Laura was incredibly responsive (she replied to all my emails within hours), friendly, helpful, and her turnaround time was amazing. I'd use her services again in a heartbeat, and would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful calligraphy. read more

Laura Hooper was great to work with and was able to create a beautiful map depicting all of our wedding venues for our out-of-town guests. I never thought it would be so easy to work with someone who is 2,200 miles away, but Laura and her staff made the whole process worry-free! They worked with me via email and phone to make sure that the map they created fit in with my fiance's and my personalities. The map turned out awesome, and I hope that all brides will allow Laura Hooper to incorporate that personal touch into their big days! read more

Laura Hooper designed and created my wedding invitations, programs, menus, table signs, seating charts and my envelope calligraphy and all I can say is that everything she touches is absolutely gorgeous. She is extremely easy to work with and responsive over email. The color of our invitations were incorrect and she fixed them immediately. Her work is exceptional and I can't tell you how many beautiful compliments we received about our invitations and all our paper goods designed by Laura. Thank you for everything Laura! read more

Laura Hooper Calligraphy does amazing work. From invitations, to maps, to monograms, her work always supersedes my expectations. She created a "first home" map for me and I just booked her for my whole invitation suite. I am looking forward to seeing what she creates for my wedding, and am confident that she will add the perfect touch that makes the my "big day" truly memorable. It's the details that make a wedding unique, and I wouldn't trust anyone else but Laura! read more

We found Laura through WeddingWire, and we're so glad that we did! We had her address our wedding invitations and they came out beautifully! We've already received lots of compliments and people can't even believe that they were hand-written. They are perfectly aligned and absolutely gorgeous! On top of that, Laura was so easy to work with. She always responded to my emails right away and finished our order quickly. Best money that we've spent so far...thanks Laura! read more

I needed guest name place cards for my Dad's 80th Birthday Party. I found Laura Hooper Calligraphy on-line with adorably rustic compasses for place cards. They were perfect for my Dad's party. Laura added each persons name and table designation using her beautiful calligraphy to the inside of each compass. Her work is exquisitely elegant. Additionally, she responded to question or issues immediately and was very helpful. Thank you Laura! read more

My fiance and I are having a destination wedding next summer in Montana and Laura created the most adorable save-the-date maps for us! Our friends and family can't stop talking about how great they are!! They have gotten everyone so excited about the wedding! We loved her map so much, we ordered a large print of her illustration to have framed as art in our home! She is so creative and talented and a wonderful person to work with! read more

A pleasure to work with! She was so polite, professional and above all extremely talented. The custom map she created for me was BEAUTIFUL. Everyone loved them! Every time I e-mailed her, she responded quickly. I saw the first proof in no time at all and it was nearly perfect! She even completed the project two months before i needed them. I love her artwork and it makes for such a wonderful wedding keepsake. read more

I found Laura on google randomly after contacting a few calligraphers who took too long to respond and then when they did their prices were much more than advertised. Laura was incredibly prompt in answering all of my questions and she is very resonable. She not only was a delight to work with, my invites were on time and gorgeous. I couldn't have been happier. I am a very happy bride. read more

Laura was a pleasure to work with -- she is prompt, professional and extremely creative. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone!!! read more
