Best Calligraphy Services in CO!

Shaochen recently did hand foil calligraphy for our event and not only was her calligraphy BEAUTIFUL, she was such a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly responsive, accomodating, flexible, and takes on all the logistics to make your event run smoothly. I would HIGHLY recommend Shaochen for any personalization services you are looking for - she is a gem (and insanely talented!)

Monstera Gold is the best!

Shaochen is an absolute dream to work with! I had the opportunity to collaborate with Monstera Gold for my wedding, and Shaochen was hands down my favorite vendor.

She did the beautiful calligraphy for our place cards, and she created a seating chart wall that involved personalized notes and photos to each of our guests. This was the most important project to us, and Shaochen helped to bring our dream to life by planning and executing our vision with heart! She suggested multiple options throughout the process, and she asked important questions and came up with solutions that I would have never thought of. It was a complicated project that involved multiple vendors, and Shaochen even caught critical mistakes that were made by other vendors. The end result was an experience for our guests that brought many to tears, and it wouldn't have been possibly without Shaochen.

Shaochen is a really unique combination of incredibly strategic and detail-oriented, and she brings so much thought and care into making your dreams come true. She is wildly talented and added an important personalized element on our wedding day that made our guests feel loved.

We recommend Shaochen to anyone who has calligraphy needs for their wedding and needs a thought partner and master executor in bringing their dreams to life!

Seamless, Professional, Excellent.

Monstera Gold was great. For our wedding, we needed: welcome sign, seating chart, and name cards. For reference, we had 180 guests at our wedding. Shaochen was really easy to work with and carried out our vision, especially with our name cards. We asked for a name card that doubled as a coaster in the future in various colors to signify the meal. She did a great job with the name cards. Both of our mom's passed away and we kindly requested a special coaster/signifier with a cross on the seating chart. That was greatly appreciated for our special touch to tribute our mothers.

We would recommend Monstera Gold. She was very professional, responsive, and everything turned out beautifully.

Beautiful work!

We are so grateful to have contracted Monstera Gold for our wedding signage and calligraphy services! We are in the Bay Area so we worked with both Shaochen and Tiffany to curate the signs we wanted. Everything turned out amazing and looked professional. They were incredibly accommodating and understanding when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, and we are so thankful to be able to continue working with them for our new date. I really appreciate Shaochen’s ability to recognize certain design elements that will work for our wedding and her willingness to share recommendations. She had recommended a frosted acrylic for one of our signs and the milky-white agate stones for our wedding favors. Tiffany also did a phenomenal job with her calligraphy skills and created the most amazing signature cocktail sign: a custom portrait of our dog! This is our favorite piece and is a proudly displayed at our home after the wedding! We highly recommend Monstera Gold to anyone who wants personal, yet professional signage and calligraphy services done.

The Icing on the Cake

I am a wedding vendor that does florals in Northern California. I have seen the work in the past with weddings that we have done together as well as follow them on instagram. I knew immediately when it was my daughter's turn to get married this was the signage company to use. I wanted the best of the best and they did not disappoint. The quality and details were perfect. They even accommodated the delivery and pick up to my venue. I highly recommend them for any event.

Wonderful experience!!

Shaochen created signages and agate place cards for our wedding. They came in with such great quality and careful packing! Her beautiful handwriting definitely added more elegant and personalized vibe to our big day. Besides that, Shaochen communicates timely and clearly. She made sure we were on the same page on every single detail to satisfy our requests. We would highly recommend her and her team for signages and favors for events!

Highly Recommend!

We used Monstera Gold for our wedding calligraphy needs and were blown away by Shaochen's work. She helped bring our vision to life with a custom welcome sign, gorgeous place cards, vow booklets and other custom signage. Her taste and work is impeccable and I appreciate that she was willing to get creative and work with us on some bespoke ideas. Communication throughout the process was also excellent and she got us all of our items well before our wedding day which helped alleviate any last minute anxiety! I'd recommend her work to anyone.

All Those Little Details Without the Stress

I highly recommend Monstera Gold. Figuring out all the small things that go into making a wedding venue look put together and thoughtful was one of my biggest worries, as I really didn't have the time to figure everything out. Shaochen makes it easy to find all those small details in one place, and then she makes them personalized and uniquely yours. While she has a minimum cost that was higher than I anticipated, I ultimately believe I saved money compared to trying to individually buy all the items that she made for me on Etsy or somewhere else. In addition, considering how much time she took to design and hand-make each item, I think her prices are quite reasonable. I was so happy with the quality and the glamor of each item, and it really tied our whole event together beautifully. The communication, progress updates, and clear understanding and execution of my needs was top notch.

Beautiful calligraphy and signage! A joy to work with

Shaochen came highly referred by our wedding planner and we were very happy with her beautiful signage. She has a very detailed and thorough process for understanding clients' needs and preferences. She was very accommodating of my request for agate namecards even though at the time agate pieces were hard to come by. Shaochen also was very communicative and proactive (we had an issue with the easel we rented and she refunded us the rental fee without us needing to ask for it). We greatly enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her to other couples!

Beautiful, handcrafted details + signage - w/ rentals!!

I originally wasn't planning to add signage to my wedding, but we moved our wedding due to COVID, so I had a little extra money to dedicate to signage and I am SO GLAD I DID! Not only was it very functional (we had a ver spread out venue, so directional signage was essential) but it really tied the event together in a unique way. Shaochen is INCREDIBLE to work with. She's very attentive, a good communicator and was helpful with figuring out how to maximize budget. I especially loved that she offers rentals because they are so much more sustainable! I was able to choose a few vintage items like beautiful mirrors that she customized for us, and then we returned after the event. One of my favorite items was our vow books which were such a special touch for the ceremony. If you're considering signage, don't hesitate to work with Monstera Gold!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
