    A Bit of Midsummer Magic

    We cannot recommend Jessica enough! Our welcome sign and our table cards were beautiful and in our magical Shakespearian theme. She wrote out our place cards on fake Eucalyptus leafs in this stunning gold ink. Most of our friends and family kept theirs, one of our bridesmaids even keeps it in her phone case she loved it so much. Thank you so much Jessica for adding this bit of magic to our day!

    Wonderful signage at our wedding

    Jessica does beautiful work! She made name cards for each guest, a welcome sign, and other signage for our tables. She is professional, communicates well, and she double checks to ensure that everything is how you want it to look before the big day. I highly recommend using her services - she helped make our wedding reception lovely.

    Amazing work

    Using the word perfect to describe the work Jessica did is very fitting. She arrived to our venue early to make sure that all of the calligraphy that she needed to do was done promptly. She also agreed to do some artwork on another mirror at our venue as a surprise for my husband when we took our last look through before our ceremony, he absolutely loved it! Jessica was wonderful and we would absolutely recommend her to give any event a special touch of amazing artwork.

    Gorgeous Calligraphy Items!

    Jessica was amazing! If you are planning a wedding, I highly suggest hiring her as your calligrapher. Her signage and place cards really elevated our whole wedding. She understood my vision to a T and suggested great wording and ideas to fit my theme! We ended up doing a giant welcome sign, gorgeous mirror seating chart, lots of mini signs for throughout the reception, and place cards with each guest’s names on it. Cannot recommend her enough, I couldn’t image the day without the gorgeous signage! Our guests really enjoyed all of our tiny details that went into our day and she played a huge role in that.

    Hire Jessica!

    Jessica is a fantastic calligrapher with flexibility, patience, and a creative vision – she is worth hiring! I had always wanted a gorgeous mirror seating chart, and Jessica created an exceptional design for ours, as seen in the photos. She has a great selection of rentable items that she will personalize for your own design. I first talked with her about a year before the wedding, when she sent over a clear contract with fair pricing. She then was organized and reached out to me at just the right time to set up a video call to talk through the final layout and design. We emailed back and forth, and she was exceptionally patient as I was changing little details. She completed the mirror early, which made it so much easier on us that week! She understood how busy we were and coordinated an easy pickup and return. A part of me wishes we would’ve worked with Jessica on more than just the seating chart, she has other beautiful designs and projects. Jessica does not disappoint, and I highly recommend her!

    Perfect Wedding Signage by Jess!

    Simply put, Jess did a truly A+ job with the signage at our wedding. Everything was absolutely beautiful and true to our vision. She very helpfully sent us proofs of everything to make sure it was just right before starting on the actual signs, and was flexible in coordinating pick up and drop off times for the mirrors we rented from her. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for beautiful signage!

    Amazing Highly Recommend

    This review is well overdue!
    My wife and I are so lucky that we found Jessica! She was highly recommended through our venue The Haight, and after working with her we can absolutely understand why. Her knowledge of her craft, and calligraphy talent went well above our expectations! We had her create multiple pieces for us to include our welcome sign (beautifully done on a mirror), ceremony schedule (gorgeous rustic window pane), and our seating chart (stunning rustic door). Jessica was so patient with us whenever we had to rearrange our seating chart due to guests availability changing. Jessica was very communicative which was helpful given that my wife and I planned our wedding entirely apart overseas, and she was so flexible with navigating the time difference.

    Honestly, if you’re looking for someone to do anything related to calligraphy we highly recommend her!

    Thanks so much again!

    Details Our Guest Still Rave About, Months Later!

    We searched high and low for a calligrapher, and, within the first 5 minutes of our initial conversation with Jessica, we knew that Jessica Draper Calligraphy was THE one!

    We had a pretty clear vision of the calligraphy pieces we needed for our botanical-inspired wedding. Jessica's attentiveness, professionalism, and pure talent made our vision come to life even better than we could have imagined.

    All of the pieces that Jessica made for us were stunning! From the table numbers to the bar menus, seating chart, and place cards, her work really helped us tie the aesthetic of our day together. Even weeks after our wedding, guests are still raving about the vintage postcard place cards that Jessica made for us.

    In addition to being incredibly talented, Jessica is an all-around wonderful human being. We highly recommend her to any couple considering including calligraphy pieces on their big day. Trust us; you will not regret it.

    12/10 Recommend!

    You know how as a bride you overhype things in your head for like a year or the entire time you plan a wedding? And sometimes you overhype something too much so it’s impossible for reality to meet the year-long, Pinterest- perfect vision in your head? Jess not only met my very hyped up, Pinterest- perfect and VERY specific vision, but honestly it turned out so much better than I had even hoped. She is so flexible (she had to work with material I already purchased), communicative, flexible, timely- I could go on. And none of that begins to capture he insane talent as an artist and calligrapher. She is brilliant at what she does. Thank you so much, Jess!

    Seating chart

    Jessica was the absolute best to work with. She was accommodating with changes that had to be made last minute without a problem! The seating chart came out absolutely stunning! My husband was even blown away! I would recommend Jessica 10/10 times to anyone!!

    Amanda thank you so much! You were so sweet to work with (Also I'm glad it was able to fit in your car haha!) I hope you had the best day ever!

    Gorgeous signage for my 9/7 wedding!

    Jessica is VERY good at what she does. I really enjoyed working with her. She helped me with signage toward the end of my wedding planning, but what she really does was pull together the whole aesthetic of my greenery themed wedding. I will forever keep the signs she made for the card/gift table, signature drinks, and favors. She also made signs for the menu, schedule of wedding day, and seating chart. She has a lot of great equipment available to rent for a reasonable price, which was very helpful and help minimize additional costs. My favorite detail she did was print individual place cards for seating assignments on eucalyptus leaves... absolutely loved this. Thank you Jessica for being so detail oriented, creative, and professional!

    Jessica Draper Calligraphy's reply:

    Melissa,

    What else can I say about your amazing greenery themed wedding?! You and Marcelo are just the cutest (and your pup!) and I’m so glad I was able to help create the perfect details for your day! I’m grateful for all the opportunities you gave me to expand my craft of calligraphy, those eucalyptus place cards are some of my favorite things to date!
    Best wishes!!

    Jessica was the Best for a Nerdy Themed Wedding

    Jessica was super awesome and helpful through out the entire process. I was a very undecided bride but she helped me understand what would work best for both my wedding vision (we did a dungeons and dragons themed wedding) and my budget. She helped me make 2 family crest banners, 2 dragon banners, and the majority of the signs and it turned out like a dream!

    Jessica Draper Calligraphy's reply:

    Lady Ana, :D

    It was such an honor to help with your and Ed’s dream wedding! I loved how everything turned out and I’m so thankful that I was able to help achieve that goal for you! I wish you guys all the best in your marriage adventures and quests!
    Xoxo,
    Jess

    Perfection

    Where do I even begin with Jessica?!? I met her at a bridal expo and fell in love with her immediately. There’s so many calligraphers out there but I really connected with Jessica and that’s what made me choose her, not to mention how incredibly talented she is!! She did some beautiful work for our ceremony and reception and we couldn’t be happier. Jessica is so fun and kind... seriously, USE JESSICA!!!

    Jessica Draper Calligraphy's reply:

    Ticha,

    Thank you so much! I loved working on your wedding details SO much! It was a dream to make your vows and all of your signage. I wish you and Mike all of the best! xoxo!

    Personal and Professional Calligrapher for Wedding!

    Jessica Draper Calligraphy understands the importance of adding special touches to really make the details of your big day stand out. She was more than accommodating with all my needs. She was very professional, as well as personal. She listened to my ideas and made them a reality. Her talent and unique style was greatly appreciated. She was able to make various decor and signage personalized in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone looking to add a little extra attention to detail on your big day!

    Jessica Draper Calligraphy's reply:

    Laura,

    Jessica is the real deal!

    I honestly don't understand how she writes so perfectly! Jessica did an amazing job on a long piece we asked her to do for us. She wrote vows from my husband to my daughter that he shared at our wedding. We would only trust Jessica to do something so important for us and SHE DELIVERED. I swear you won't be disappointed with her work. She's easy to work with and oh so creative!

    Beyond Our Expectations!

    Jessica was amazing with calligraphy for our invite envelopes! She accommodated our pretty last minute request and got them back to us sooner than promised! We have gotten so many compliments from our guests on them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a calligrapher for anything. We would also definitely use her again!

    Great Quality Calligraphy!

    I loved that Jessica sent a preview to confirm the style / it met my expectations. The drop off and pick up was quick and easy. She was prompt with responses on the timeline, estimates, and in updating the invoice when quantity changes were required (covid…). I've included photos of the escort card coasters & table numbers I had Jessica do, which both turned out fantastic! Everyone raved about the coasters for days.
