    Write on!

    Barb at Courtney Calligraphy of Lancaster did a beautiful job with our bridal shower and wedding day place cards. She also did a fantastic job addressing all of the wedding invitation envelopes. She even went above and beyond and caught a few address mistakes we made. She gave me several scripts to choose from, making it more personal to our tastes. Barb is a professional, so very talented and her prices were beyond fair and reasonable. She was flexible with last minute changes we gave her and she was very timely in getting everything back to me for the events. I was able to communicate with her via email and text and she always responded the same day. If you are in need of a calligrapher, don't look any further (I did and was disappointed) and hire Barb at Courtney Calligraphy! #pickymotherofthebride

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much Sandee! It was an absolute delight to work with you on everything, all the way from the wedding invite envelopes through to the wedding reception seating cards. The choice of a traditional script with formal black ink was just perfect for your daughter's shower and wedding!

    Amazing unique touch for our special day!

    Barb did such a beautiful job on our invites! We were so excited to send them out, and we received so many compliments on her elegant work! Highly recommend if you want that something special for your invites!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much Megan, it truly was a pleasure to write out your wedding invite envelopes! I'm happy to hear you received compliments about them, and that I was able to add a unique touch to the invites. My heart is smiling!

    Wonderful calligraphy

    I found Courtney Calligraphy online and am so glad I chose Barb to address our invitations. She was so kind and helpful, even checking all of our addresses and finding mistakes I had missed! Every envelope was beautiful and her attention to detail was unmatched. I will certainly be using Barb for any future calligraphy needs I have and couldn't recommend her more!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much, Courtney! I consider checking addresses as just a part of my service - when several address lists are combined together, I've found that it's inevitable that a couple things might inadvertently be copied mistakenly. I'm glad you found me, too; it was a delight to write out your envelopes! Traditional Roundhand lettering always looks elegant.

    Kathleen O

    I highly recommend Courtney Caligraphy.
    Barb was wonderful to work with for my daughter’s shower invitation envelopes.
    She was very professional, responded within a few hours of my initial email, even though it was late on a weekend night and easily willing to accommodate my schedule. Barb even caught a few mistakes we had made with the addresses we had given her including an incorrect zip code. The envelopes were beautiful! Thank you Courtney Caligraphy!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much Kathleen, your daughter's shower envelopes were a lot of fun to work on. Gold ink adds such a lovely touch to any envelope, I think!

    Awesome Calligrapher

    Barbara is extremely professional and very easy to work with. She will send you examples to choose from before completing the project. Is very detail oriented and takes pride in her work.
    I would give her my highest recommendation to anyone looking to have calligraphy done. You won’t be disappointed.

    Barb was professional and did amazing work!

    Barb was so easy to work with from start to finish on addressing our wedding invites! She was very quick to respond, flexible in meeting time and location, and had many samples of her work to look at before making any selections. She worked quickly on our invitations and they came out beautiful. We have had several guests get ahold of us to comment on the gorgeous calligraphy! Highly recommend!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thank you, Jennifer! I confess, I do love it when guests comment on the calligraphy! Your gray envelopes with the blue ink were unique and looked very classy, I enjoyed working on them.

    Absolutely perfect!

    Barb did an amazing job with our wedding envelopes! I would highly recommend her services to anyone. Aside from the absolutely beautiful envelopes, Barb takes the time to ensure all addresses are accurate and the naming mechanism used is appropriate. We misspelled a few addresses and had a few zip code issues that she was able to find and fix. It was so helpful! Barb was so friendly and easy to communicate with, it made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much for the glowing review, Molly! It was a nice change of pace to address your lovely pink envelopes, I enjoyed doing them. You were a great couple to work with; congrats and best wishes to you and Matt!

    Barbara was amazing to work with! She addressed our wedding invitations beautifully and I was very happy to have been recommended to her!

    It was a pleasure to have found someone like Barbara to address our wedding invitation envelopes. She did an amazing job! Barbara showed me various font styles and we went with the more traditional/elegant look. She was able to finish about 130 envelopes in 1 week, which was impressive and helpful for our timeline to mail (wedding in April 2020). She was able to communicate effectively if she had a question and was very respectful. The price was very reasonable & They turned out beautiful! I highly recommend her, especially if you want to add a special touch to your invites. Thank you Barb!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much, Ana! I'm happy that your soon-to-be sis-in-law (a past client of mine) steered you to me; I'm sure you are all looking forward to another big, joyous wedding! It was a definite pleasure to work with you on your traditional-style envelopes.

    Special Request

    I contacted Courtney Calligraphy for a special request. She was professional and offered many script options. When I asked for adjustments to original examples it was never a problem. Courtney Calligraphy is professional, courteous and a pleasure to work with.

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much, Jill. Your request for a template script for a tattoo was a first for me, and I'm so glad that it all worked out for you!

    Truly Amazing!

    Barb did an outstanding job on the invitation envelopes and seating cards for my daughter’s bridal shower last weekend. From my initial contact with her, she exceeded my expectations in every possible way!

    Barb is extremely talented, responsive and kind!
    (I never waited more than a few minutes for her to respond to any inquiry!) I would give her 10 stars if I could!
    Her beautiful calligraphy added a special touch of elegance to the event and made for a very special day. I will be sure to use her again soon ( probably for the wedding seating cards)

    If only all vendors were this incredible!!
    Rosanne

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thank you so much, Rosanne! I truly enjoyed working on the shower invite envelopes and the seating cards; I love being able to add a little bit of "prettiness" to any occasion. I hopefully look forward to working with you again!

    Highly Recommend!

    Barb was absolutely fantastic to work with! She was very responsive whenever I emailed her! She was helpful in picking out the right font and color for my envelopes. She also sent me a preview of the first invitation written out before moving forward with the rest. I had to change a couple addresses along the way and she was very accommodating with those as well! I had such a great experience that I am going to have her write out the place cards for my wedding as well! Highly recommend!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thank you so much, Katie! It was a joy to fill out the addresses on your wedding invite envelope sets - your choice of black ink and Roundhand script was perfect for your invitations. I'm definitely looking forward to writing out your place cards, too!

    She did an excellent job filling out each card in accurate and timely fashion. Would recommend to anyone who needs calligraphy done quickly, but still look great.

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so very much Chris, it was a pleasure to work with you and Kelsey! I'm used to tight deadlines with seating cards, and am glad that you were pleased with how they looked.

    Amazing calligraphist

    When your guests tell you that they didn’t wanna throw out the envelope the invites came in, you know you made the right choice! Barbs artistry, effort and attention to detail are second to none. She even went through all 103 invitees to make sure addresses were correct. Thank you Barb!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Dawn, I had an absolute blast filling out your envelopes! They had a slightly different script than usual; they ended up totally complementing your invitations, and reflecting yours and Jason's style. Thanks so much for allowing me to work on them!!

    Excellent Calligrapher

    Barb recently did my daughter's table place cards for her wedding in calligraphy. I must say they were absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. We had so many complements on them! Barb answers emails almost immediately. She is also very nice and was so sweet when changes need to be made. Barb is a very accomplished calligrapher and I would highly recommend her to anyone. I so appreciate how much she added to making my daughter's wonderful day more memorable!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much Michaelene, I'm glad my small bit helped to make your daughter's wedding memorable. It's been a joy to work with both you and your sister Sharon; Happy New Year!

    Beautiful Calligraphy Place Cards

    My experience with Courtney Calligraphy of Lancaster, NY was such a pleasant surprise. I contacted Barbara a month before my daughter's wedding to see if by chance she was able to do our reception place cards. Not only did she say yes at such a late date but she was friendly, professional and reassuring through every step of the process. The cards were beautifully done and by the exact date Barbara gave me when I booked with her. I would highly recommend her for all of your calligraphy needs.


    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    Thanks so much Chris, it was a joy to work on your cards! I had a lot of fun with them, and I was confident that we had enough time to get them all done.

    Courtney calligraphy did the envelopes for wedding invitations. They looked very nice, clean, and professional. Her pricing was very reasonable. She was very nice, responded quickly to questions, and was very helpful. She double checked every address for me, and found a few mistakes that were missed! So thank you for that :) I would definitely recommend her service and to anyone.

    I absolutely loved working with Barb for my wedding! She did the calligraphy for our place cards and our big wooden buffalo guest book! Everything turned out so beautiful! She was so great too, we added things last minute and she had no problem with that. Everything was done quickly too! Thank you! We loved everything!

    Courtney Calligraphy's reply:

    It was a lot of fun to work with you too, Jacki - loved those buffalos! Thanks for sharing these photos!
