Incredible Lettering, Amazing Customer Service

I would absolutely recommend Elissa Barr Calligraphy. She is lovely to work with, creative, responsive and timely. Her final product was INCREDIBLE. We ordered teacher gifts (calligraphed quotes) and needless to say the teachers all said this was by far the most thoughtful and artistic gift they had ever received. I will definitely work with Elissa Barr again, and recommend her to anyone.

So pleased with my elegant & imaginative project

Although my calligraphy project (a hand lettered, commemorative, wooden plaque) had nothing to do with a wedding, Elissa's responsiveness to my needs and willingness to experiment with materials were outstanding. The final result was elegant, so I strongly recommend her skills and resourcefulness .
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
