Reviews for Laura Hooper Calligraphy
Laura was very easy to work with. I sent her a very detailed email, filled out a few forms, and the order was mailed to me in 2 weeks. It looks beautiful!
Count me in as one of the many Laura Hooper fans! She addressed our save-the-date envelopes and invitation envelopes, and the escort cards and favor tags. Laura is an absolute doll and wonderful to work with, and her work is absolute quality. I received as many compliments on the invitation envelopes as the actual invitations! The escort cards and favor tags dressed up the reception and looked great!
Laura is so great. She is based in LA, but I had no trouble workin with her. Her prices were better than a lot of the bay area calligraphers, she's incredibly prompt and her turnaround is amazing. Most important, her work is beautiful.
Thank you SOOOO much for your exquisite work!! Our envelopes look absolutely amazing, and you have completely exceeded my expectations! I can just stare at these envelopes for hours; they're just SO beautiful. =) You have been such a pleasure to work with, and I greatly appreciate how accomodating you were. The process was fast and easy, but most importantly the outcome was phenomenal! I can't thank you enough for that perfect "final touch" on our envelopes! I hope to work with you again in the future.. (hopefully soon!)
Laura is amazing! She handled everything via email and phone calls. My invites were detailed and custom and Laura pulled it off without a hitch. I can see how she has so many rave reviews.
I contacted Laura about the placecards for our wedding - and I couldn't have been more happy with the result! Her "Ella" font was perfect for our vintage-inspired (but still whimsical) spring garden wedding. I received many comments from our guests telling me how beautiful they thought the placecards were and how well they fit into our wedding. I only wish I'd known about Laura when we were sending out our invitations or I would have asked her to do the calligraphy for our envelopes as well (we just printed them on an ink jet printer, no where near as nice as they would have looked had Laura done them). Laura also provided the card stock for the placecards, which made the process that much easier and more convenient. Laura couldn't have been nicer or easier to work with, and the finished placecards arrived just a couple of days after I sent her the wording! I would highly recommend her to all other brides out there.
Thanks so much Laura. Your work is beautiful. Dorothy from Duval Invites sent over our invitations and envelopes together
and everything looked amazing. I am so happy that she recommended you. Thanks
Laura's work was absolutely beautiful. She did our envelopes and our place cards. She was such a joy to work with, and she made not one mistake! She is also very patient, I kept having changes with my tables therefore the place cards needed to be changed, but it was so effortless for her. I highly recommend Laura, she was fast, professional and flexible. You can see the place cards in my bio.
Laura is amazing in every aspect of the word. She made such beautiful envelopes and place cards for my sister's wedding. She isn't even located in Texas but she did an exquisite job and I got several compliments from the guests on the finished product
Yes, she is not really that affordable, but her work is so worth it. After seeing my girlfriend's invites where Laura worked her magic, I was totally convinced that I needed her services too. I couldn't have been happier. Her work is truly amazing and a wonderful personal touch to any invitation suite. She's responsive and very easy to communicate with. It's worth it!
She does wonderful work. She is very nice and has good ideas regarding script styles, colors, etc. I used her for both save the date envelopes and our invitations (inner and outer envelopes). My envelopes all looked great – especially the invites! She made minor mistakes on 3 envelopes, but she quickly fixed them. I would highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future.
I just got my envelopes from Laura and they are GORGEOUS!! She is amazingly talented and wonderful to work with. I am now going to have her do table numbers, menus, and anything else I can think of!!
Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While the calligraphy was beautiful, Laura's organizational skills could use some practice.
Not only did Laura lose a few envelopes, she incorrectly wrote a few addresses (wrong zip codes, wrong address numbers) and even wrote one upside down on the envelope! She was also impossible to reach by e-mail or by phone. I left numerous messages and not one was returned.
She told me I could pick up the envelopes in the store - not only did she not show up, the envelopes weren't even left with the clerk so I could just pick them up! She didn't even call to let me know she wouldn't be there (despite the fact that I had given her my home #, cell #, and work #).
I was given a coupon for 50 free escort cards...why bother when they probably wouldn't be done in time?
Vendor response to review
Dear DIYbride,
I am terribly sorry for the poor customer service you described experiencing. My highest priority is to make sure your experience with Laura Hooper Calligraphy is enjoyable and pleasant. I always try my hardest to answer calls and emails personally and immediately. In the order form you filled out and signed, it specified that errors are common with hand-written work. I always go through all my work myself after it is complete and check for discrepancies, but I am human, and errors happen, sometimes I do not catch them all. If you read any other calligrapher’s website, you will see that this is the case. I make it known that this happens and do ensure that I will correct any errors that I am notified of in a timely manner. As a business owner, it is impossible for me to always meet with clients personally and so I have assistants (clerks as you describe) to fill in during hours I cannot be at the shop. As the studio is upstairs, all client orders were there and labeled and my assistant should have been able to locate the order. The order was in actuality completed over a week early, and I did notify you myself that they were done and ready to pick up, but as I recall you were not able to come until a weekend, on a day I could not be there. I am pleased my assistant extended the offer for 50 free placecards, and I am sorry you chose not to accept it. If there is anything further regarding this matter, please contact me directly at laura@lhcalligraphy.com and I will be more than happy to personally rectify the situation.
Sincerely,
Laura Hooper
I found Laura by doing a google search for calligraphers in the Los Angeles area. I was impressed by her website so I contacted her. I was able to get right through and arranged to drop my envelopes off within the next few days. I requested to have the envelopes back within 25 days of drop off and they were done in 6 days! When I picked them up I was blown away. They are beautiful! I had been impressed with Laura's work on her site, but that does not hold a candle to what it looks like in person. Her work is truly exquisite. We are now looking for other things we can have her work on for our wedding. We plan to order sand dollar place cards from her as well. Laura is professional, courteous and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Laura Hooper calligraphy.
Laura did an excellent job on the calligraphy for our wedding invitations. She was immediately responsive to all of my questions and very helpful in providing design advice. When our envelopes were delayed over a week, she was able to finish all of the calligraphy within a day to keep us on schedule. Her prices are great and her work is wonderful I would highly recommend her without qualification!
I own a invitation business in Canada and when my wedding was coming up, I was searching for a Calligrapher because the ones here in Toronto are sooo expensive. So I found Laura Hooper. I am soo happy I was looking she sent me some samples, and I just loved them. Today I recieved my envelopes for my invitations, and I almost cried they were sooooo beautiful. My mom can't beleive that she did them by hand. Thank you soo much Laura for my envelopes they are sooo beautiful, I can't wait till my guest receive them, and wait to see what they say. It has been such a pleaure working with you, I hope to continue working with you for all my clients. This has been such a great experience, I am soooooo happy. And such a fast turn around, she is very accomodating.
Laura just completed the envelopes for my wedding. She was super responsive even at the odd hours that I tend to email given work. She proactively inquired when my envelopes didn't get to her and dropped me a line when they did so that I could take one item off the worry list. In addition to SUPER service, the envelopes were gorgeous. My fiance was floored as he was the one to open the package when it came. He called me at work to comment and that never happens! I would use her in a heartbeat again and I was thousands of miles away - she felt like a vendor right next door.
I cannot even begin to tell you how incredible working with Laura has been! I have worked with Laura on several projects for my upcoming event. Most recently, Laura created a custom map for my wedding weekend and I could not be more pleased! It is simply gorgeous, and I'm so excited for my friends and family to see it! She even drew a picture of my puppy for the dog park on the map.
Laura is never too busy to answer my questions, always responds to me promptly (sometimes within minutes of my email), and is quite honestly my favorite vendor in the wedding world. I couldn't say enough nice things about her, and I'm looking forward to the projects we have coming up for my event!
Laura did the calligraphy for both of our daughters weddings. And, she did a beautiful job each time. Her work is lovely, but in addition, it was on time. You can count on her to deliver a beautiful product when she says she will. I've run out of daughters or I would use her for the next wedding!
I am on the east coast and it was so easy to work with Laura! She was always available when I had questions or changes to our design and our maps were sent within a few weeks of our initial order! They are absolutely beautiful & it was a pleasure working with someone so kind & professional.
The calligraphy was absolutely stunning, I can't wait to send the invitations out!! I sent Laura the envelopes and my list, and she finished my order and sent them back in less than 2 weeks - and that was with me frantically making changes! Laura is amazing at what she does!
I was really pleased with Laura's work. I'm planning on using her again.
Laura's work is absolutely gorgeous--it matched the font on our stationary better than I could have hoped, and provided the perfect finishing touch for our invitations. Her skill as an artist is matched only by her friendly professionalism and flexibility, and I could honestly not be happier that we decided to work with her. I would (and will!) recommend her to ANYONE looking for a calligrapher, without reservation, and I can't wait to bring her more projects! :)
I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Laura Hooper for the calligraphy of my brother's wedding. There was a lot of pressure for the invitations to look exceptional and I had heard so much about Laura and her work. I am a designer and so I pay a lot of attention to details and I needed to work with someone understanding and appreciating details.. Laura did and the result was exceptional. The invitations look so very beautiful! Thank you Laura for taking on the rush order and doing such beautiful work!!

I jumped out of my skin when I received my invitations for my upcoming wedding in Santa Barbara. Laura's work is amazing; beautifully designed and impeccably finished. I could not wait to open the FedEx box and discover the delicateness of the invitations, response cards, and the beauty of the calligraphy. I live in Paris, France and although a 9-hour time difference, it was (and still is) a pleasure to work with Laura (my only question: does she ever sleep)? Her responses are always timely, and she shares both her experience and expertise in an unpretentious manner!
Her advice helped me to create the intimate feel that I was looking to achieve. I am looking forward to finalizing the things that I will need for the reception. Beyond that, even though there are lovely calligraphers and designers in Paris, I plan on working with Laura to create my personal stationary. I highly recommend working with such a professional and pleasant person! Merci Laura!

As an east coast bride planning a west coast wedding, I definitely appreciate vendors who are easy to work with and reliable. Laura has proven to be both; she responds quickly to emails, and returned my envelopes in just under 2 weeks! Once I saw how beautifully they came out, I immediately booked her to do my placecards and other wedding materials. The Ella font is fun, modern, and striking all at the same time, and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of her work.
