Calligraphy Katrina and Maison Du Papier

Katrina did an amazing job on our wedding invitations and our placecards! She's very easy to work with and insanely quick. We definitely recommend her if you're in SoCal.

Katrina was great to work with. Her calligraphy was absolutely beautiful and she is so prompt and quick! She responded to my emails and phone calls so quickly - and got our place cards, envelopes and reserved seating cards back to us so fast it was amazing!!

Her work is beautiful and I got so many compliments on it, but she is so super reasonable that I was a complete no brainer to have to our invites.

Thanks so much Katrina!!

Once you see her work, you will love it.
It is a must have to get that little extra touch for your invitations.

Katrina's natural talent for calligraphy is so impressive. I was awestruck just watching her write out her samples. She was able to show my FI and I different styles of calligraphy in different ink colors, which helps us make our choice. She completed all of my envelopes in a week. Her prices are the most competitive I could find. I have gotten so many compliments on the calligraphy and invitation itself. I think it makes a big difference in presentation. Katrina is a sweetheart and I loved working with her!

Katrina was absolutely fabulous to work with! She is a bride's dream come true....beautiful calligraphy, reasonable prices, fast, and so attentive to detail! I searched high and low in Nashville, TN to find an affordable calligrapher, but due to our dark envelopes everyones prices were through the roof. I had seen Katrina's work here on PW and decided to contact her to see if she would be willing to do our envelopes even though I was on the other side of the country. We communicated by phone and email and she kept well informed on everything and was super fast. She had all of our 269 invites in the mail back to us in 1 week (most people quoted me 3-4 weeks!). I have never been so excited as when I opened the box and saw all of our beautiful addressed envelopes. Even with the approx $25 it cost to mail the box each way, using Katrina saved me hundreds of dollars and her work is just magnificent. Hiring her was well worth every penny! THANK YOU SO MUCH KATRINA!!!!

We are so happy with Katrina's work. She did an absolutely beautiful job with our place cards and gift tags. She was also an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very helpful, attentive and detailed. I couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend Katrina!

This was a must have after looking at Katrina's work. I loved my invites and they would have never looked the same without Katrina.

Katrina's work is elegant and her prices are extremely affordable. I have received a ton of compliments on her calligraphy and how unique it is. I live in New York and working with Katrina was seamless despite the distance. I would highly recommend her to all brides, especially those with a flair for creativity.

I decided two days before I was supposed to mail out my invitations that the outer (and only) envelope desperately needed calligraphy. I found Katrina on my local Craigslist board and was impressed by her reasonable prices and promise of a speedy turnaround. For an additional 10% above her normal prices, she could get my envelopes back to me within 5 days! And that she did. The calligraphy was beautiful and I have already received several compliments. Also, when some envelopes were missing (due to miscommunication), Katrina was more than willing to re-do them. She even went so far as to buy the same envelopes at Paper Source so I wouldn't have to mail blank ones to her! I highly recommend Katrina. She is very professional and responsive and her work is beautiful!

I used Katrina to address my invitations in the baby modern calligraphy style she offers. I absolutely love her work. I sent them to her to have on a Tuesday and she was done within a week for me to send out my invitations by the weekend. I have gotten so many compliments on it. I would HIGHLY recommend her and would DEFINITELY use her again.

We just got our beautifully done invitations back from Katrina and I am SO lucky to have found her here on projectwedding.com. Not only is she reasonably priced, honest, fast, and attentive, the girl knows her stuff! She is very knowledgeable about calligraphy, and the entire wedding stationary process. I had the best time working with her and we are now using her for other projects for the wedding. Did I mention her work is AMAZING! She uses her own natural handwriting, it wasn't taught by anyone, this is really how she writes! There are four or five fonts to choose from, all lovely, so much in fact that I had the hardest time picking out which one I liked best. But with her help, we chose the best one suited for my invitations. I would recommend her to any bride out there that wants top quality work but doesn't want to pay the "L.A. wedding" prices. She will work with you, answer all your questions, and she even wraps presents (btw -- I've seen her work and it is also very good). She was very accommodating when we told her we needed our invitations rushed, she did them in one day, and they are perfect!! Better than I ever expected. Thanks Katrina!!!!

I got my invitations from Katrina and I was very pleased with the quality and overall outcome. They were beautiful and stylish!

Katrina did an excellent job with my wedding invites! I highly recommend her services. I had a great time working with her!!

I was referred to Katrina from a close friend. She is currently building her portfolio. She is very talented and easy to work with. Her work is professional and beautiful. At first I was planning to DIY or use clear labels but after discussing with Katrina what I wanted and the inexpensive price I decided to go with her. I gave her 80 outer envelopes yesterday evening and it was ready for pick up this morning. I highly recommend Katrina.
Update: 09/25/07 Katrina has amazed me once again. She wrote out my rehearsal invitations and OOT favor cards. They were beautiful.

Katrina is a bride's dream come true: Her calligraphy is beautiful, she works incredibly fast, and she's super professional. Her work added an extra special touch to our invitations, and you simply can't beat her price for hand-done calligraphy. She also makes it very convenient to work with her, regularly making herself available for meetings in both Pasadena and Beverly Hills. She addressed 100 invitations for us in a week, enabling us to get our invitations out--gasp--early! I'd hire her again in a snap, and look forward to referring her to my friends.

Katrina is AMAZING!!! She is so inexpensive and does such a beautiful job. If you are searching for a calligrapher you can stop your searching and just contact her!! I basically told her I just wanted something not too frilly and she came through beautifully. It's her own handwriting, not some crazy calligraphy that you can hardly read. She turned around my inner and outer envelopes in one week and they are so beautiful. My guests are going to love them! Thanks Katrina!!

They send you free samples of any invitation you want! When I received mine was very happy and they came in no time after I ordered them. Would not have changed a thing from what I ordered they are fantastic and I had many many compliments on the invitations!

I loved working with Katrina and I highly recommend her to brides and anyone else who needs customized calligraphy and other stationary. Katrina calligraphied the envelopes for my wedding invitations as well as the table numbers and name cards, and her work was stunning. Several guests commented on how beautiful the handwriting was. Further to this, Katrina is a pleasure to work with. She is extremely timely and responsive and really wants to make sure her clients are happy. She suggested fonts to best match my invitations, worked with me on ink colors, and even purchased the name cards for me so I wouldn't have to worry about it. I live in NYC and while I was worried about sending my paper goods across the country without even meeting Katrina, Katrina went to really great lengths to make sure that I was happy with the work and everything got to me in time, even with turn-around times of a week or less. I could not recommend Calligraphy Katrina enough and I hope I have the opportunity to work with her in the future.

Katrina is awesome. She did a great job on our inner & outer envelopes for our invites. I received many compliments on them. Her rates are also far better than anyone else in LA. We liked her so much that we plan on using her again for seating cards, menus, and table numbers. I also want to mention how cool, calm, and collected she is, even when I'm a hectic mess! She's totally flexible - all vendors should be this easy to work with!!

Katrina was great to work with!!! And her work was stunning. My guests have said to me that my invitations were the most beautiful they have ever seen. Definitely go with Katrina if your looking for an elegant yet unique invitation. I will definitely use her again.

We just picked up our invitation envelopes from Katrina and they are absolutely beautiful! I was originally planning on printing the envelopes myself, but after reading reviews of Katrina, I decided to meet with her to discuss calligraphy. Her prices are so reasonable and her work is amazing! She sat with us for an hour, going over different writing styles and doing sample after sample for me until I saw exactly what I wanted. She is also so fast and extremely patient with all of the guest/address changes that come up. I will be going back to her shortly for my place cards!

Katrina did an amazing job with my wedding invitations. She demonstrates great professionalism and is quite personable. Katrina was readily available for meetings and flexible about meeting locations. I chose the "classic" calligraphy style and was more than pleased--thrilled--with the outcome. There was a specific color I wanted for the addresses and she took care of business--even sent me a proof of different hues, within the same color family, to ensure I received the correct match. Her pricing is much less than two other calligraphers I researched...a dollar less than the competitors. After nearly 100 invites, that adds up!! She will also take care of my place cards. Not only will she do the calligraphy for the place cards, she will SHOP for the cards...yes, personally pick them up for me. WOW, you cannot get any better. I highly recommend Katrina; she's fantastic!!!

I found Katrina on Project Wedding, and after reading all the glowing reviews I knew I had to call her. She did a fantastic job on our invitations, and her prices absolutely can't be beat. I would definitely recommend Katrina. She's going to be doing all of my calligraphy for the wedding, christmas cards, you name it! :)

When you have your guests calling you and leaving messages, because they want to make sure that you know how beutiful the calligraphy work is, you know that an amazing job was done! Since sending out my wedding invitations I have been receiving nothing but compliments. Katrina has been a pleasure to work with!! She has great ideas, goes out of her way for you, and is soooo reasonably priced. I am so happy to have found her!!! Pick her!! She is a winner and even craftier than Martha Stewart!! Gift wrapping, creating invites, etc... she will help you!!! Best of all she has such a calming presence!!!!

I kept going back and forth on whether it was worth the extra cost of having calligraphy done for my invitation envelopes. After reading reviews of Katrina's work, I decided to go for it. I just received my inner and outer envelopes and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! The calligraphy looks incredibly artistic and gives each invitation that personal touch that I was going for. Totally worth it! I was giddy sending out my invitations just looking at how beautiful everyone's names and addresses came out. Even the people at the post office commented on how beautiful the lettering was. Highly recommend!

Katrina's work is absolutely beautiful. She is very talented and a joy to work with. I couldn't be happier with how our envelopes turned out. She was also quick, efficient, and very easy to work with. I will definitely work with her again in the future. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I used Katrina for my escort cards and my envelopes and she was fantastic. Her variety of styles are all beatiful it's so hard to pick a font! She is extremely talented, and writes in calligraphy almost as fast as I can type, so she works quickly and really helped me meet my tight deadlines. For someone that I found in Beverly Hills, her prices are SO COMPETITIVE and affordable - I was amazed. Katrina was truly full service. I was running around doing last minute wedding errands and didnt have time to go buy the escort cards at Paper Source -- so, she was in the area and picked them up for me. It's the little things like that that really help a bride in the few weeks before the wedding, and was so much appreciated. I've already referred Katrina to another friend who was thrilled with her work, and will surely continue to pass along her info. Katrina - thanks again for everything!!

Katrina's beautiful calligraphy more than exceeded my expectations and it was very refreshing to find a wedding vendor who is reasonably priced and actually does quality work. She made it extremely easy to work with her - despite being across the country and not being able to meet face to face - and got my wedding envelopes done quickly and perfectly.

I highly recommend Calligraphy Katrina to anyone, regardless of whether you're in Southern California or much further away. She is extremely accomodating and really, truly does an amazing job.

My fiancé found Katrina on Craig’s list. Katrina was attentive, prompt, thorough, very reasonably priced and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, does absolutely beautiful calligraphy. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! She really did a fantastic job and we could not be happier.

I was hoping to find a local calligrapher in the Los Angeles area since our invitations are going out a little late. I found Katrina here at Project Wedding. She was such a pleasure to speak with and working with her was a breeze. We were a bit late in sending out our invites and I was so pleased that she was able to do our inner and outer envelopes in a span of two days. Talk about fast work! On top of that, her options and ideas are so beautiful. The work she did for us was just fabulous!

I found Calligraphy Katrina via the Craigslist. She quickly responded to my email and continued to touch base with me. We met in Pasadena at a coffee shop where we discussed all the details of what I needed. She addressed 150 envelopes within a 24 hour period and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her work. IMPRESSIVE!!!

We used Katrina to address our wedding invitations. I truley appreciated the prompt response from Katrina. We emailed her on a Sunday night and she responded Monday morning. We met that same night and she completed all the invitations (about 75) within an hour or so. And don'be fooled, just because she's fast at what she does, does not mean the work suffers...the envelopes looked absolutlely beautiful. I definitely recommend her services.

Katrina has been so fabulous to work with! She has done calligraphy for our STD's and Eparty invites and we've gotten so many compliments on both. I can't wait to use her for our invitations & other wedding related items!

Katrina is absolutely amazing! She is prompt, sincere, honest and very, very talented! I can't say enough about her. She addressed our wedding invitations as well as wrote our ceremony programs. Her pricing was extremely fair and her turn around time was very fast. I won't hesitate to use her again!! You won't be disappointed :)

Katrina is fabulous! Her rates were very reasonable, she was pleasant to work with and the end result was terrific. My fiance and I had Katrina do all of the inner and outer envelopes for our wedding invites, they came out beautifully. They were done quickly, efficiently and beautifully. We had the stationary mailed directly to her b/c we were nervous we had not left ourselves enough time. Katrina called me to give me status updates on the UPS delivery, she really gets brides and knew I would be nervous. I didn't have to think about it, she just got it all done. We will definitely use her again whether it is for more wedding materals like programs and menus or for future parties. I would recommend her for anyone.

We had a very small wedding and limited budget. Katrina was perfect for us. We were thrilled with the cost, quality of her work and the turnaround. Her Calligraphy was not too formal and not too casual. It was just right and the price was excellent. I'm recommending her enthusiastically.

Our company used Katrina to address our invitations for our annual holiday event. She did such an amazing job at an equally amazing cost. We received many compliments from our clients. I am also still in awe as to the turn around time. If you need a job done quickly, without compromising quality, then Calligraphy by Katrina is the person you should seek. I guarantee that she will exceed your expectations. She sure exceeded mine :)

When I first planned on sending out my wedding invitations, I hadnt planned on using a calligrapher. But once I saw Katrina's work and her prices, my mind immediately changed! I was hooked. Her work is SO beautiful! She has many different styles to choose from, and they are ALL so amazing. It was so easy to work with her, and she was very responsive. And more importantly, her turnaround time is ridiculously quick! And the quickness does nothing to the beauty of her calligraphy! I was SO happy with how our invite envelopes came out, I plan on using her for our place/name cards as well!

Katrina did my Save the Dates and everyone LOVED how the envelopes looked. Her work is the prettiest in the area, her prices are great, and I got them back in under a week. She's also super sweet and VERY accurate! I'll be using her for my invitations later this month.

Katrina has a natural talent. She helped put together a book of wishes for my wedding and it came out amazing! I met her late in my wedding planning process, so I already had all of my other stationary needs taken care of, but I would definately use her again in the future. In fact, I am recommending her services to my future sister-in-law, who is just starting her wedding planning. She was very easy to work with, and has many great ideas, as well as tips for keeping within your budget!

Katrina was AMAZING to work with! Her work is beautiful and at an extremely reasonable price. Her turnaround time is about a week which is perfect for busy brides! I will definitely work with her again and I recommend you doing the same!!

Katrina did a fabulous job on your inner and outer envelopes for our wedding invitations. From the first email I sent to her regarding her services up until I received the envelopes Katrina was always prompt in responding back to me and calling me immediately. Even when I had my "picky bride" moments Katrina was absolutely professional and genuinely interested in what I was saying.

I couldn't be happier with her work and her professionalism. Her work is outstanding and I’m so ecstatic that I found this diamond!

Thank you, Katrina, for the fabulous job you did!

My fiance and I couldn't be happier with the work Katrina did for us. From our very first meeting she couldn't have been more professional or easier to work with. The hardest part was choosing which style of calligraphy to use. We went with a classic look in silver pen that really makes our envelopes and invitations special. I know our guests will love them!

Katrina's work is outstanding! I am from the east coast and could not find a calligrapher near me that could create the look I was going for. Katrina received RAVE reviews from a local Knottie so I had to check her out. She was quick and overly accommodating!! I am so excited to send out my invitations because they look stunning!!! One of the best vendors I have worked with thus far!

I honestly cannot say enough nice things about working with Calligraphy Katrina. She is friendly, a consummate professional, expedient, well priced, and, best of all, her work is extraordinary. I have received so many compliments on how beautiful our stationery sets were, and every single guest has commented on what a perfect complement the calligraphy was to the invitation. Even my mother, who felt that calligraphy was something of an extravagance in our rather smallish budget was completely convinced of the importance of a fully polished invitation set after seeing Katrina's work.

In addition to the excellent craftsmanship, I feel that I should speak to Katrina's customer service. She is prompt in her responses, and so very very accommodating in her delivery. I have been a very difficult customer, in that our guest list wasn't complete or accurate when I sent her the original list, and she has been so kind and willing to make corrections and adjustments at lightning-fast speed. And through all of it, she's been so friendly and kind and understanding of our unwieldy guest list.

In summary, I will say this: the invitation is your guests' first introduction to what will, hopefully, be one of the most precious days of your life. It is no small detail to make sure that the first introduction speaks to the style and aesthetic of the event as a whole. And when charged with such a task, I would wholeheartedly recommend the services of Calligraphy Katrina.

We needed help at the last minute addressing our wedding invitations. Katrina was great! She had our invitations addressed overnight and they looked amazing!! We had friends and family telling us how great the invitations looked because the calligraphy was absolutely beautiful. Katrina was great to work with and her prices are extremely affordable. We can't wait to work with her again for other wedding projects.

Katrina's work is beautiful and her prices are reasonable. I had my invitation envelopes addressed by her and they turned out beautifully. I have gotten a lot of compliments from my guests. She is also very sweet and accommodating. I need 3 other envelopes addressed and she was willing to meet me and did the envelopes on the spot. Highly recommended!

Katrina is an AMAZING calligrapher and she is incredibly personable and sweet. She’s one of the most accommodating people I’ve met and her prices are REASONABLE! We met in Pasadena at a coffee shop where she showed me her whole portfolio and answered all my questions. Her work is STUNNING and the envelopes I received look fabulous! I am a really picky person and I was more than totally satisfied with her work. She went through all the different fonts she could use and how many lines to use, how much spacing, which color font (gold or bronze), etc. She’s very detailed oriented and meticulous. She follows up promptly and is available when I needed to make last minute changes. I learned she’s an incredibly talented and gifted person who is pursuing her passion and I wish her the best in all her endeavors.

My fiance and I are very easy to please and knew we just wanted nicely-printed envelopes. We hadn't thought any further than that. When we met with Katrina, she took over an hour w/us to detail all of the different fonts, layouts, etc. that we could choose - even things we had never even thought about. She was super helpful in doing samples right there so we could determine exactly what we wanted. We were able to meet with her the very next weekend to get our envelopes back and they look beautiful! She also goes above and beyond - since getting our envelopes back we realized there were a few more we needed and we aren't able to meet w/her so we mailed her the invitations and she's going to address them and put them in the mail for us. So nice. Additional handwritten elements we hadn't even thought we wanted - menus, escort cards, gift tags, etc. - we are now seriously considering just because we want more beautiful touches to our day courtesy of Katrina. We highly recommend!

Katrina's writing is gorgeous and I love the different styles she has. She is great to work with and I was extremely happy with the way my wedding invitation envelopes looked--they were modern but classic. I would highly recommend Katrina!

Katrina! You made my wedding as gorgeous with the beautiful invitations, place cards, table signs and especially menus. Thank you for being so easy to work with and such a great listener. I would recommend you a thousand times over!!!

Katrina did my save the date boxes and they turned out beautiful! The entire experience was perfect. She is quick, very affordable and so talented! Her positive and reassuring nature put my mind at ease at a time when things were pretty hectic! I am looking forward to working with Katrina again for my formal invites.

After reading great reviews about Katrina and her calligraphy on Project Wedding, my fiance and I decided to meet with Katrina in-person to see her work. Katrina's work was gorgeous AND affordable! I wasn't sure I was able to fit calligraphy into my budget, but her prices allowed me to do so. I didn't even have to sacrafice quality for the price; what a great find!

Not only was Katrina fast with her work, but very accurate and responsive to my last-minute adds. Every envelope looked so elegant and I've received so many compliments from guests already. Someone even thought Katrina's gorgeous work was a computer font! My future sister-in-law is even going to book Katrina for her wedding invitations after seeing mine. We highly, highly recommend Katrina.

My fiance left a review before we sent out the invites, but I had to leave another now that they have gone out, and we are receiving responses. Katrina addressed our wedding invitations for us, and they turned out perfectly. She addressed all of the envelopes very quickly. Her handwriting is so gorgeous. People are calling us daily to comment on her handwriting. Everyone wants to know who addressed the envelopes. They are absolutely beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at the envelopes before I sent them out. I have been paying a lot of attention to wedding invitations since I got engaged, and Katrina's handwriting is by far the best I have seen. Thanks Katrina!

I was so shocked at how amazing my wedding envelopes looked when I opened the box and saw them completed! I almost don't want to mail them out they are so beautiful...except I can't wait to hear how much everyone else loves them. Katrina was so great to work with- fast, affordable, and she was flexible with changes and additions I had as well. I would highly recommend her, and I plan to use her for escort cards now too!

Katrina is a real artist! I gave her envelopes for more than one hundred guests around noon, and she finished addressing them the same day. It was hard to believe. I still think she may have several tiny calligraphy elves working for her. I knew her work was beautiful, but the true difference in our talents was driven home when I tried to complete the last envelope myself. She had written the names on the envelope, but I didn't obtain the address until later, so I had to try to match her work. The result was hilarious. My fiancee and I were still laughing about it the next morning, and wondering whether the post office would be able to deliver that invitation at all. The moral of this story: if you do not use Katrina, your wedding will be a complete failure and you will die unmarried and friendless. Chuck.

Katrina was wonderful to work with. Her work was beautiful. She printed our invitations, return envelopes, table cards and the place cards. She turned around our order in the agreed time with beautiful results. She was helpful and everyone loved the personalized touches on the tables. She is affordable and I was 100% pleased. I will refer Katrina to everyone I know and will definitely use her services again. Thank you Katrina!!!

I found Katrina through a very satisfied bride on the Knot before I even had selected my invites. She has been so great to work with, even offering suggestions on places to buy invites since I was so specific in what I wanted. Her email response time is so fast, not to mention you can reach her by phone anytime. Katrina's prices are very reasonable. I sent my envelopes to her and had them back within one week. They look AMAZING! Everyone has commented on the detail in her work. I highly recommend Katrina for all your wedding stationary needs.

Katrina is really fabulous. She helped make the stationary for our wedding personal and beautiful. Her calligraphy is great and she was a pleasure working with.

Katrina's work is beautiful and she finished addressing my wedding invitations and placecards extremely fast! I really enjoyed working with her and it was such a pleasure to work with someone younger who understood what I wanted. Everyone, including my very picky husband, was very impressed with her work. The fact that my 82 year old great uncle commented on her beautiful handwriting is a testimony to the quality of her work! I plan on using Katrina for all my future calligraphy needs!

Katrina has the most beautiful handwriting. I received so many compliments on our invitations. I also had her do a huge poster sized seating chart that turned out beautifully. I highly recommend her!! And she has the best pricing in town!

This is the new line of personal made invitations and Stationery Line from Calligraphy Katrina. Basically, every set will be handwritten, given off to the printer and VOILA! ...all invites will have that same hadnwritten feel courtesy of Calligraphy Katrina's own fonts with your thoughts and designs in mind. Of course, if you choose to have your who suites completely handwritten instead of mass-produced, you're more than welcome!

I started this idea with mainly just handwritting all parts of the invitation suits, 30-120 of them! Then the idea came when I made my own menus for my own private party. So I made 1 piece and copied all. I also realized that many you lovely brides would love to have this personalized touch so I offer master copies for you to mass-produce off from. The rest is history. I even have my business cards made like this, so I know for sure it works very well!
