Can’t recommend enough!

Wow - I cannot begin to thank Danison with Bow tie & Brush enough; but here is my attempt.
Backstory - I came across Danison when the following life events happened: coming to the realization DIY-ing our signage was not the best idea, having some unexpected wiggle room in our budget, and a friend of ours backing out of helping with signage. Like most folks in 2022, I turned to the internet to find a calligrapher here in Orlando. From the moment I came across Bowtie & Brush, I knew I had found someone special. After reviewing their website, Instagram page, and speaking with the owner, Danison, I knew I had met someone who loved and respected their craft, and especially respected who they worked with. Between Danison’s work, pricing, and overall customer service & support, I knew my husband and I were making the best decision moving forward with Bowtie & Brush - and we couldn’t be more correct. Danison executed *beautifully* our seating chart, welcome sign, and unplugged ceremony sign without a hitch. He not only did amazing work, he made my life SO MUCH EASIER by dropping off and picking up the signage, and having easels for rent - truly a one stop shop! Danison - I hope you know how much your professionalism, craftsmanship, and overall energy made our wedding day that much more special and enjoyable. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your amazing work. We cannot, cannot, CANNOT recommend Bowtie & Brush enough - THANK YOU!

The most memorable wedding favor: live portraits from Bowtie & Brush

I had the honor of working with Danison at the Washington Wedding Day Best of 2025 gala, where he was creating watercolor illustrations for all the guests. He seriously made the coolest favor of the night—I even have mine proudly displayed on my fridge! Danison is incredibly talented, genuinely kind, and had the best dance moves on the floor. His work is both meticulous and quick, so your guests can enjoy their custom artwork almost instantly. If you’re looking for an interactive and beautiful favor for your wedding or event, I highly recommend Danison at Bowtie and Brush. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat!

I would highly recommend Bowtie & Brush 1000% for any and all future brides/grooms

We recently got married at The Wave Hotel in Lake Nona (11/11/23). Bowtie & Brush was AMAZING to work with! Danison understood my overall vision for our wedding and made everything come to life in such a beautiful way. I gave Danison complete creative freedom to see where our wedding vision took him.

Our welcome sign was beautiful, our hand-crafted deckle edge place cards with gold foil touches and colored ribbons to identify food choices were gorgeous… and then our SEATING CHART!!! Our seating chart was a show stopper. All our guests were wowed by how STUNNING and unique it was!

I’m so honored Danison chose to name this gorgeous seating chart inspired by our wedding - the “Jessica.” It was such a special moment and such an honor! Our magical love story will live on and share endless magical moments with future brides/grooms.

Planning a wedding is never easy, but knowing I had Danison right by my side put my mind at ease. Danison is such an absolute pleasure to work with. He is reliable, his attention to detail is superb, and he’s with you every step of the way. I would highly recommend Bowtie & Brush 1000% for any and all future brides/grooms; you can thank me later! xo

Simply the best, better than all the rest.

I know it’s a cheesy song lyric but it explains my experience working with Danison. The customizations, artistic talent, and beautiful calligraphy added such an amazing element to our big day. Would absolutely work with this vendor again and urge anyone looking to use him!

Special Gift

Danison was such a pleasure to work with on a special project for my sister in law! He took my idea and turned it into something beyond my wildest dreams. He answered any questions I had and went above and beyond to make the piece in time for her shower.
