"Everyone loved the place cards! I walked around the ballroom after the party was over. There were no place cards left on the tables

or on the floor. Not even one. Your personality is as beautiful

as your work. You are wonderful to do business with.

I'm looking forward to working with you

on many more events."

--Devvan Dowdy, Eventfully Yours

"Our place cards are stunning! They are little works of art that put the finishing touch on our incredibly special wedding. Thank you for your work. Josh and I are so happy! Tomorrow's the big day!"

"They say invitations typically set the tone for the wedding...

but your work was truly the pièce de résistance! I could not have found anyone with a better eye for detail than you.

When we initially discussed the color of the invitation,

you knew exactly what you were going to use in terms of ink,

the end result was perfection. My guests have not tossed away

their envelopes because most say they've never seen their

names written so beautifully. Thank you for truly

setting the tone for an incredible affair."

--Cecilia and James Abney, Plainfield NJ

Many professionals do not provide a genuinely personal service;

they seem not to care about the individuals. THEN WE MET YOU!

You are truly a wonderful person who takes her craft seriously and genuinely cares about her clients. We thank you so much for coming to our rescue and giving us an absolutely beautiful presentation

for our wedding invitations. Your calligraphy is as beautiful as

the person who created it!"

such a sense of professionalism, and I could trust you,

your ideas, and your opinions. It was a wonderful experience working with you and getting to know you. I will be using your talents again in the future. Thank you so much!"

"Thank you so much for your beautiful calligraphy for our wedding invitation envelopes and place cards! Our envelopes were works

of art and we could not have been happier with the finished product. Planning a wedding from Florida was hard, but you made it so easy for us. From e-mailing my list to you, to calling you with last-minute changes or additions, you were so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process."

--Susan (Collini) and Brian Coughlin, Jacksonville, FL

to our guests, and to put our Bride & Groom envelopes

in a scrapbook."

"Kathy Milici provides the highest quality of calligraphy services.

Every envelope and card she wrote for us was a piece of art.

One of my wedding guests claimed his name never looked so 'sexy' as it did on his invitation. Kathy’s customer service was exceptional. She requested to personally meet with me to review my guest list.

In addition, Kathy provided me with a sense of confidence

to deliver the final product in a more than timely matter.

She really understands the importance of sticking

to a wedding timeline, especially for the sake of sanity!

My table seating cards were not delivered to her in time for her

to complete them for my wedding day, so Kathy went out

and bought cards for me in order to have them done in time!

And, of course, they came out perfectly.

Thanks again for everything!"

--Alexandra Pappas, Oakland, NJ
