    The invites for my daughter's wedding were stunning! The calligraphy for the addresses were so elegant and immaculate. Thank you!

    I called and left a message at least six times and it has changed from no answer to a recorded…read moreanswer so I'm not sure why the owner of this business has not responded it's been 3 days now. From her other reviews I would've thought she would've at least answer even if she could not create the product I had left on her voicemail. If she responds to this yelp review I will consider changing it If there was a good reason she did not respond to any of my voice messages.

    Back in the day you had to send away (off island) for quality calligraphy for invitations, signs…read moreand such. Today you don't have to look any further than Hawaii Calligraphy. I wish I had known about Kelsy (owner/calligrapher) Darling and her magnificent talent and skills when we were planning for our big day. Contacting Kelsey is quite easy - either email or voicemail. She has an etsy shop in which you can purchase already made products and you can also commission her to do custom work. I had requested a quote for a specific product and she was able to give me the amount and time it will be ready quite quickly. As a note, she does weddings, parties, signs and just about anything you can think of to write on (wood, leaves, paper, planks). Unfortunately, I never did follow through with the purchase because it was about the same time that Hawaii Calligraphy started offering calligraphy classes in her Chinatown workshop. I was inspired to create my own "masterpiece" instead of commissioning her to do the work. Kelsey's calligraphy workshop was thorough, precise and immaculately executed!! I walked away with a workbook, tons of vendor coupons/discounts, practice sheets and everything you need to start your calligraphy practice. Her overhead projection was perfect!! Everyone in class could see what she was writing and no one was straining their necks or eyes to see her examples. I cannot boast enough about her calligraphy class (beginner)! She provided food and drinks (spirited and not) as well as our own personalized work apron. From inception to execution this gal knows her stuff and she is super friendly. Reality check: who am I kidding? I barely write in cursive yet alone calligraphy with all the fancy schmancy flourishes and swag! I need to practice a lot (a waaayyyy lot more) before I'm satisfied with the actual work. It takes years of practice to create swoon-worthy, beautiful letters and words, but until that "happens" I know that I have Kelsey/Hawaii Calligraphy to call on in case I need something written all fancy and such.

    When we started wedding planning, I knew Michelle Clemen's amazing calligraphy work had to be a…read morepart of our special day. After seeing some of her incredible pieces on Insta & Etsy, I reached out to her about our place cards. Michelle shared a few different place card ideas that fit with our wedding vibes & it was hard to pick just one because they were all amazing. We went with clear, plexiglass hexagons that included our guests' names in gold calligraphy. Not only was Michelle extremely communicative, but she also went above & beyond by asking about ink color, sharing sketches with different font options, and recommending we include the last initial for duplicate guest names. As a bride with a million details running through her mind at any given moment, it was great to know Michelle was thinking through all the details of my place cards and I could focus on other things. The place cards turned out perfect and Michelle shipped them with so much love and care all the way from Hawaii (we live in San Diego, CA). Each place card was wrapped in protective, upcycled paper to make sure it arrived safely to our home, and later, the wedding venue. I highly recommend Michelle to any couple who is looking for an organized & creative artist that can make your wedding a truly unique experience. And I'm already dreaming up another opportunity to work with Michelle again!

    So I got my second Yeti engraved by the one and only Juniper Calligraphy. Since my first one was…read morestolen due to me leaving it at my clinical site for school. It was such a bummer for that Yeti was my favorite because it was the right shade of Pink and a limited edition color. However Michelle's art work literally made me forget about color and instead made me realize the beauty in her artwork. Juniper Calligraphy is that one business that is literally RARE to find. Why? Because this business has a heart for their customers and actually CARES. And that's the exact reason on out of all the businesses out there, I chose specifically Juniper Calligraphy. Michelle has made my new Yeti really special to me and i will cherish it for the rest of my life. Thank you you so much.

    Susan at Picturesque Laser Decor was amazing for me. I had ordered an inexpensive poster online…read morefrom Etsy for my welcome sign, however it did not meet my expectations. So, the week before my wedding I reached out to them on Instagram. They messaged me back the next day & I was able to tell them what I was looking for. (BTW I got married in January, so it was not the summer wedding season.) I was able to order a round acrylic sign & custom Polaroid frame which both turned out beautifully in a short turnover time. Susan even sent me rendering of both pieces with different font combinations. This was super cool and helpful as a customer. They went above and beyond my expectations for contacting them at the very last minute. Again, keep in mind that these vendors are busy year-round so I definitely consider myself lucky to have had their services. I DO NOT recommend doing what I did and contacting them late. I'm just sharing my own personal wedding experience & what happened in my situation. In fact, I hear that they are starting to get booked for the summer weddings!

    Ok party people, listen up! If you're planning any type of party or looking for a special gift or…read morewhatever in between, I highly suggest checking out Picturesque for that personalized touch to bring your gathering to the next level. Picturesque specializes in laser cut outs so name cards, signages, cake toppers, ornaments, etc. You can choose either wood or acrylic and choice of fonts. I reached out to Susan for a super last minute bridal shower gift after perusing through her website. I chose a BRIDE and GROOM geometric place setting and a customized ornament with my friends names and wedding date. I had less than a week before the shower and she delivered - all neatly packaged, ready to go! She showed me the design before she cut them to make sure it was perfect. I loved my friend's gift so much that I had my own wedding cake topper made soon after! It blew my mind how great it looked. Dare I say I look forward to the cakes' decor more than the actual cake?! Shame on me. Ok yes, Picturesque was a tad pricier than Etsy but the turnaround time and speedy responses more than made up for the cost. Susan was meticulous and very easy to work with. Plus, you are supporting local! 10/10 will recommend Picturesque if you're looking to make a party uniquely yours.

If only want service it'll be a bit hard but if one goes to the office supplies room there's someone there to help . The customers service personnel knows how to properly handle their clients questions it'll help us. Yes we know it's a warehouse type setting but it'll also be nice to have staff asking us if we need help instead of jumping into me like I'm going to shop lift! Hey I was a store detective I know your staff intentions! Why in the huge warehouse I picked one pen and a set of pens for my work is not right when a staff came into where I stood? I am an artist therefore I check what type of inventory your store has one might have so I take my time looking into! I doubt it I'll go back again anytime soon!

Well, if you look at the pictures, there were slim pickings. : ). No magnet type calendars found here. I did pick up a few after Christmas sale ribbons here. 75% off. Not much left here. Service was quick and efficient here. Our purchase was handled nicely. No lines at the time of our visit. Ambiance gives an expected warehouse vibe. Well organized and signs let you know where to look for items. Support local here!

Located on the corner of 3rd Avenue and Waialae Avenue, across from Chaminade University/Saint Louis School, Patty's Floral Designs is a local business that has been around for decades! The quality is outstanding! I looked at Patty's Instagram posts and was blown away by the colors, varieties, and beauty of her creations! She has a good eye and is very professional! I just had to meet her after passing by the shop all of these years! We were picking up lunch from the restaurant next door. The free, small, shared parking lot is much appreciated! I went inside initially for the air-conditioning. Then, I met Patty - she is so sweet! She showed me a lei po'o (crown of flowers for the head) that she just finished... ooh! It holds its shape because she winds the flowers around a wire! Smart! I've read reviews by my friends, Kelly K., Paul M., Nicole, Holly, Ric C., and Lyn L. They were all happy with Patty's work. I'll come here next when I need a bouquet or two!

I was talking to my sister in law about her upcoming courthouse wedding. She wasn't going to have a bouquet since it would be a small ceremony but I thought it would be nice to get her one and she agreed. I emailed Patty just to see about pricing and availability. They responded right away with all their options and pricing so I could decide. They put me on for that Saturday and confirmed everything. I said designer's choice for the bouquet and was a little worried but I shouldn't have been! When we got there Saturday morning to pick up the flowers, Patty greeted us. She was soooo nice. The flowers came out so beautifully and the lei was nice and full. Amazing service and quality! I would highly recommend and come here again :)
