I can not say enough about how wonderful Kim is as a person and her phenomenal work. We had her address over 100 ivory wedding invitation envelopes in a custom gold ink. She not only accommodated our requests for Vietnamese spellings (accents etc.) but she sent photo samples confirming the look and style prior to addressing the envelopes. I and both mothers of the bride and groom were beyond thrilled with the results. We've had several guests contact us specifically to compliment the calligraphy! But the cherry on top was definitely Kim's professionalism and friendliness! She was very prompt returning all emails and always checked in to give us a status during the process. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone and everyone!

Kim was an absolute dream to work with. She was extremely efficient and her work is absolutely gorgeous!! I would highly suggest anyone in the Northern Suburban area in need of service, to check her out!

I hired Kim for her calligraphy service. I would highly recommend hiring her for your needs. Kim is very responsive, contributes her ideas as potential options for your consideration, creative and needs minimal direction. She delivered my order on schedule and under budget. I couldn't ask for her customer service and finished product to be any better.

I was referred to Kim by the Water Tower-Chicago store. From the moment we spoke I loved her! She was exceptional at communicating and wanted very much to understand exactly what I wanted. She sent me many samples and we were able to work together on ideas. She is so creative and gifted and she helped guide me on making decisions that were perfect! She did my wedding invitation envelopes and my place cards along with a personal note that I included with each invite AND 2 beautiful poems that I just had framed. I cannot say ENOUGH about the finished products. They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! She finished everything on-time if not a few days early. (And ladies, you know when planning a wedding having things done in a timely manner or early is so appreciated!) I will use her again, for sure!! I actually cannot WAIT to find another project for her to do!!:) Thank you Kim!

After a change of heart, we decided to use a calligrapher and it was one of the best decisions we made. We found Kim on the Internet and chose her because of her outstanding reviews and beautiful samples and have no regrets. Kim’s replies were always quick and friendly, not automated. My daughter and I had the opportunity to meet with Kim and she made us feel very welcomed and gave us all the time we needed. She showed us samples of her work and she knew exactly what we were looking for. She was very thorough in all aspects of the job and even caught a mistake on our address list. She’s no doubt a perfectionist! On top of all that, our cost was less than originally quoted after she saw the envelopes she was going to work with. Imagine, in this day and age, someone charging less than quoted!
The final outcome…Amazing! Kim’s work is absolutely stunning and the whole process went smoothly. She is a true professional that has mastered her craft. She’s a rare find and we hope to have the privilege to work with her again.

My fiancé and I did not plan on having our invitations addressed in calligraphy, but we are so very glad that we did! Kim was knowledgeable and her work was absolutely stunning. Because we didn't plan to use calligraphy, we didn't have any set ideas about the style of type that we wanted. Kim was able to give us choices and selections, and we are so thankful for her help! She matched the calligraphy on the envelopes to the font we used on our invitations, so everything was a cohesive and beautiful presentation. We used a very traditional style and wording, and the calligraphy was the first impression for our guests on the style of the wedding. I got messages from friends remarking on how gorgeous our invitations were, and that was definitely because of the beautiful calligraphy! (The invitations themselves were very simple.)

We also had a significant number of international invitations, and Kim had those ready for us a week before the rest of the invitations so that we could send them out sooner. Everything about Kim's work was great. She is thoughtful and kind, so she's incredibly pleasant to work with. She is knowledgeable and talented, so any questions we had about etiquette, she was able to answer, and her work was stunning. We are so glad Kim did our invitations, and we would heartily recommend her!

I collected several compliments on my invitations, including one woman who said they were the nicest invitation she had received. The invitations are the first impression a guest will get, and she worked with us to make sure the feel of the invitations matched the feel of our wedding day. She offered creative suggestions and the work was exquisite!

Working with Kim was a great experience! Her knowledge and creativity helped to make daughters wedding perfect. Making a wedding is such a stressful time and working with Kim was totally stress free.I highly recommend using The Constant Scribe.

It's hard to believe that spring 2011 will mark 5 years since my wedding and I still get compliments from friends and family on the hand lettered invitations. In the five years since my wedding, Kim has designed birth announcements and baptism certificates for both of our children as well. Each design was unique and special for each of our children, down to specializing a new font for our daughter and mixing a special color ink as well.

Of all the different vendors we have used thus far in our wedding planning, Kim is our favorite by far! Our Guests received their invitations and had nothing but wonderful things to say. We were so excited to put our invitations in the mail and they looked so beautiful. Kim put the finishing touch on them! Kim really listened to what we liked, what we wanted, and had our invitations completed promptly by (before!) the promised date.
