**Review for Katie of Knockout Lettering – 5 Stars!**

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie from Knockout Lettering for my October 2024 wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough! From start to finish, she was a dream to work with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also friendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life.

I had a very specific vision for my wedding signage, especially for the seating chart, and Katie completely nailed it. She took my ideas and turned them into something stunning and unique, all while keeping the vibe fun and personal—nothing too stuffy or formal, just perfectly "me." The attention to detail in her work is unmatched, and I was in awe of how everything came together.

About three months before the wedding, I decided to add a custom beer sign since my husband is a brewer, and we planned to have a variety of beers on offer. Katie was so accommodating and seamlessly added this to our order. Not only did she create the perfect sign, but she also helped me repurpose a chalkboard I found in the trash, turning it into something beautiful and functional! Her creativity and resourcefulness really shone through in that moment.

In addition to the beer sign, Katie made us a gorgeous welcome sign and helped bring my vision of a fun, chalkboard-inspired wedding to life, especially since we were getting married at an old high school. She was flexible and worked with us through every step of the process, always checking in and making sure everything was exactly what I wanted. There were times when I couldn’t quite put my ideas into words, but Katie had an amazing ability to take my vague descriptions and translate them into perfect designs every time.

But beyond her skill and professionalism, Katie is just *so nice*—a true joy to work with! She made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process, and I couldn’t have asked for a better vendor to be a part of my special day.

If you're looking for beautiful, custom calligraphy and a vendor who will go above and beyond to make your wedding vision a reality, look no further than Katie at Knockout Lettering. She is truly amazing, and I’m so grateful for everything she did for us!

Thank you, Katie! You made our wedding day even more memorable with your beautiful work. 💕

The unique touch every wedding deserves

Katie was an absolute gem from start to finish. Her website is easy to navigate and she gets back to you immediately if you have any questions about any product or logistics. She is a pleasure to communicate with; prompt, courteous, and even fun to talk to! She brings excitement to the planning of your wedding and you can tell she truly enjoys what she does. THE FINISHED PRODUCT!! Oh my god!! I had my table assignments written on two mirrors that she rented to me and guest gushed all night over what a lovely touch it was and all took pictures of themselves standing next to or looking at their table assignments on the mirrors. She also made our signature drink signs that were named after our two dogs and drew little cartoons of each pooch from pictures I had sent to her. I will remember this detail forever and have the drink sign framed and hung in our kitchen. It was such a special way to include our fur babies into our special day without having them there physically and of course again the endless guest compliments on how special those little details were had me smiling all night. I highly recommend this vendor and am not sure five stars is enough!
