Jen is amazing at what she does! She addressed my envelopes for them and they turned out beautiful. :) Jen goes above and beyond to make sure that you are happy. Thanks so much for doing a great job Jen!
GUEST




I loved working with Jen! Very nice, professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Jen to a friend and was really impressed with my finished product.
GUEST




Graceful Expressions Calligraphy and Fine Hand Lettering Design was a wonderful vendor. She was a friendly, helpful, artistic person. The value of the product is absolutely undescribable. I will always use her going forward. Absolutely wonderful to work with.
GUEST




She actually did my seating cards for me and it was a wonderful experience. The least stressful part of planning a wedding on my own. She sent the cards out over night a couple days before the wedding (because she knew I would have last minute changes to my seating chart). The ink she used matched the stationary perfectly and I could not have asked for better service. She even called the day of delivery to ensure that the cards had arrived. Amazing service I would recommend her over and over!
GUEST




I received wonderful feedback from my wedding guests about how beautiful and tasteful the calligraphy was on my invitations. She was great to work with and very reasonable!
GUEST




Jen Buck is an amazing Calligrapher and her work is gorgeous! She created custom designed gift bags, a poster size seating chart, table numbers for our wedding as well as addressing out invitations! Jen is extremely kind, understanding, and does her best to really grasp your vision. From our first meeting, we just really clicked. We exchanged tons of emails, texts, and phone calls which kept the lines of communication open. She was always flexible and on time for any pick up or delivery. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs calligraphy for any occasion!
GUEST




We were more than impressed with our invitations and how beautiful they looked. Definitley worth every penny!! I found Jennifer through the Graceful Expressions website. Jennifer was always easy to contact and communication was excellent. I would recommend her over and over.

Brides beware! After emailing Jennifer months ahead of my wedding and meeting with her to confirm the details she bailed at the very last minute. To top it off my envelopes had already been put in the mail to her house, putting me even further behind!!!! She did not make arrangements to get them back to me even though she had wanted them sent to her house in the first place. She is entirely unreliable and kept confusing me with the other brides she was working with. After looking elsewhere, her prices are well above the standard $1.00 per envelope in the area for what I believe to be average work based on her samples.
Vendor response to review
I have had the honor of working with hundreds of brides/clients for the past 8 years. Never once, have I had to end a relationship, and it is something that I hope I never have to do again. There is only so much abuse one person can take, and I always treat anyone with the utmost respect and care and when that is not returned, it makes it very hard to have a positive relationship. I do what I do out of love and a passion for my hobby, but when you are abused and lied to by a person, it must stop. I made every effort, going out of my way to meet her at her office several times only for her to not have the materials and information ready as we had agreed upon because she was not organized. I felt horrible for weeks because I had to terminate our relationship, but hearing that Allison had the same exact issues with other vendors (Her photographer terminated their relationship two weeks before their wedding and she had issues with her invitation designer) assures me I did the right thing. I can show anyone who asks a notebook full of thank you letters and cards from my eight years working with clients, as well as recommendations from 100's of clients. I care very deeply about my clients, (who become great friends, in many cases!)and do my calligraphy out of a passion (not to make money) but will not tolerate verbal abuse and lying by anyone.
GUEST




Jennifer did everything she could to make sure that my invitation (and Save-the-Date) envelopes were beautifully lettered, precisely centered, and delivered so fast I could hardly believe it. The prices were more than reasonable and I really appreciate Jennifer's expediency and professionalism.
GUEST




Jennifer's caligraphy on the invitation envelopes was fantastic! We got so many positive comments back on her work. She also wrote out the reception table assignments on a framed blackboard. This, too, was done beautifully and creatively and will be a terrific keepsake from the day.
GUEST




Jennifer did a beautiful job addressing our wedding invitations. She used both a script and a color that complemented the printed invitations perfectly, and for a very reasonable price, she put a very special touch to the first taste our guests had of our day!
GUEST




Graceful Expressions addressed my daughters wedding invitations and they were beautiful! They were very accomodating, always made it easy for us and were great about last minute additions. We would highly recommend them!
GUEST




Jen at Graceful Expressions did an amazing job on our invitations, place cards, wedding scroll, and table numbers. Everything looked great together and her responsiveness to last minute changes was amazing. One of the truly stress free portions of our wedding planning. And her prices were extremely reasonable. Highly highly recommend her.
GUEST




Jennifer was very flexible and able to accomadate me at the last minute! Our envelopes turned out beautifully - we received so many compliments from our guests. Jennifer does beautiful work, and it was so affordable.

We asked Jen to prepare the envelopes for our wedding invitations and the place cards for each guest. Jen was cheerful, helpful and supportive on some of those days when a bride wonders what in the worlds she'd gotten herself into. She understood when we needed to make additions. She was fair and reasonable about those changes. Jen does beautiful work and was flexible both in the ways we could contact her and in how we could pick up the completed materials. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality of services provided. We were delighted. Our guests were too!
GUEST




Jen was amazing to work with! She was incredibly quick to respond to my initial contact, had outstanding prices and worked with me to design the perfect look to compliment our invitations. Jen was quick to complete the envelopes, spell-checked everything, and met with me several times to hand envelopes back and forth. My husband and I adored her and would recommend her to any and everyone!
GUEST




Did a great job on everything. We received many compliments and the price was the best around. Thanks!
GUEST




Jennifer did an amazing job addressing our wedding invitations. Her calligraphy is absolutely beautiful! We received so many compliments from our guests, many of whom expressed wonderment as to how someone could write so perfectly.
Most importantly, Jennifer saved me DAYS of tedious work! I never realized how much time and effort went into planning a wedding until I had to do it myself. Just knowing that Jennifer was there to help with such a monumental task put me at ease. She is as helpful and friendly as she is talented, and certainly one of the best investments I made while planning my wedding. I recommend her to every bride!

Jennifer was awesome to work with!! She had great examples of her work to show me and when I had a thought of what I wanted that wasn't within those samples she just did them up for me. She was so flexible that she did my place cards just weeks after having her baby and then dropped them off at my work to help me out. I have recommended her to anyone in the area and will continue to. Calligraphy is a small detail but almost all of my guests commented on how elegant my invitations and place cards looked. It was worth the cost and I would make the same decision again in a heartbeat.
GUEST

Jenn did SUCH a great job. The invites were messed up several times and she still completed the job on time. I would suggest her services to any bride.
GUEST




Our seating cards looked amazing and she did them so fast and efficent! I would recommend Jennifer to anyone needing seating cards,programs,anything!!
GUEST




Jennifer was a joy to work with. Her work is unique and a nice alternative to the very fancy calligraphy styles many calligraphers offer. She was extremely quick in completing the order and offered an exceptional value for the quality service she offers. She's flexible in accommodating your busy schedule and offers many options for both dropping off and picking up your order. She's pleasant, dependable, quick, and extremely affordable.
GUEST




Jennifer was an absolute find! She was completely tuned in to my calligraphy concept
for the invitations. I am an artist, and my invitation was very unique. She was able
to create the perfect lettering to express the theme of the invitation. She
was professional in every way and meticulous in execution. When our guests first
cast eyes on the calligraphy on the envelope - which was gold on pearlized charcoal
paper - they knew they were in for something special!
GUEST




Jennifer is amazing. I called her with VERY short noticed and asked if she could squeeze in about 200 invitation envelopes in her very busy schedule. I think the turn around was maybe 3 days. She works so fast and they were BEAUTIFUL! She will make suggestions for you if you ask and she is incredibly talented. She also did my escort cards in about a day! I did all the planning and arranging with her long-distance (from Colorado!), which she made super easy because she is very easy to get a hold of and will call you back right away. All in all it was an amazing experience and I'm sure my sister will use Graceful Expressions for her wedding invitations too!
GUEST




Jen was very easy to work with. I realized three weeks out from my wedding that I needed a calligrapher for my place cards. After our first contact I immediately booked her...Her prices were extremely reasonable and her turn around time was fantastic..She saved me a ton of work!! I only wish I would have found her before I sent out my invitations! I would highly recommend her to others!
GUEST




Jennifer did all of our addresses for the invites, after some mis-communication, everything went great!
