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!

Laura Hooper is amazing! Not only is she super talented, she is also quality and customer service oriented. We were thrilled with the map that she hand calligraphed for us for our Save the Dates.
Every interaction with Laura was pleasant and she was always professional, timely and responsive.
Her process for ordering is straight forward and simple to follow, which better enables the customer to guarantee an end product that exceed expectations.
I wish that every wedding vendor was as wonderful as Laura.

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.

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!

SWOON!! I loved, loved, loved working with Laura! We asked Laura to create one of her fabulous maps for our Save the Dates. They came out sooo adorable and exceeded our expectations! She responded to me almost instantly each time I emailed her. The whole process was very fast and I received my STD's in only 2 weeks. Our guests loved them and many of the compliments we recieved were from guys! (Who says they don't appreciate the details?!)

I loved my Save the Dates so much, that I contacted Laura to make my invitations as well! I met with her at her studio and we worked together to create my dream invites!! She has the most beautiful calligraphy and I just couldn't get enough of her. So, I also asked her to make a large dinner menu for our reception in her stunning calligraphy and some other little lable goodies for our OOT bags. Every single item I ordered with her came out better than I could have hoped! Laura's work is awesome and is worth every penny!All of the pieces she made are definitely one of my favorite elements of our wedding! Thanks Laura we had so much fun working with you!

I definitely wanted to have our place cards done in elegant calligraphy but couldn't find anyone in our area that I was real impressed with. We were going to have our invitations and everything done through Laura, but the costs added up really quickly! We were very happy with just having the place cards done though. They looked great and the turnaround time was very reasonable!

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.

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 the best! It all started with the save the date ( a tri-fold with a map) and then I was hooked. She designed, printed and did the calligraphy for ALL my stationery products including: save the date, invitations, envelopes, stamps, menu, programs, thank you notes, welcome notes, escort cards, petal bags, wedding sings. Everything was beautiful, custom designed and unique. It was done on time and she was a pleasure to work with. I am going to miss talking working with Laura and hope to find new projects to work with her on.

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.

Our wedding stationary designer suggested we work with Laura on the calligraphy for our envelopes and I'm so happy we did! Laura was absolutely wonderful to work with. She always replied to emails very quickly (and that is so nice for a stressed out bride!!), was very professional and just sweet as can be. She addressed our save-the-date envelopes and they were such a hit that we booked her to address our wedding envelopes as well. My future mother-in-law and her sorority sisters even raved about how beautiful the envelopes were, which is a HUGE COUP. One of my bridesmaids loved our envelopes so much that she has also already booked Laura to address her wedding invitations too.

Laura is an absolute angel! She saved me from a very sticky calligraphy dilemma after I was left high and dry by another vendor. Although, I was a bit hysterical and emailed her with a lot of CAPS and exclamation points...she really turned lemons into lemonade!
She is so patient and friendly,and her work is gorgeous. My calligraphy was stunning and even better than I imagined it would be.

My invites were by far my favorite part of wedding planning and Laura's work ended up being the cherry on that sundae!

I worked with Laura Hooper earlier this year. Her work is AMAZING, and she was incredibly accommodating about last minute requests and the like. All of our guests raved about her pieces! I plan to keep the compass placecards she created for my husband and me as heirlooms to pass onto our children. Absolutely magnificent!

This was the single most important part of the wedding. My fiancé proposed in January, and he wanted to be married by summer. So we needed to have the cards in the mail as soon as possible. We found it easier to pick cards online, and I fell in love with how cute and whimsical the Laura Hooper invitations were. I loved that we could get cute save-the-dates, and invitations, and thank you cards all at the same place. My mother also thought it was important to get maps so that family members would know where they were going. JH had great customer service, and I think they also make it easier to figure out what the wording should be on the cards with their samples.

We chose Laura for her save the date maps and were very happy for that choice! Our maps turned out very cute, with such fun details, and quite lovely calligraphy. Working with Laura was a breeze. She was very professional, accommodating, and so kind. We corresponded through email and I received everything (replies, proofs, updates) in such a timely manner (she even returned an email while on vacation!!). The end product is just so great and my overall experience makes me smile :) We are hoping to work with her again for invitations.

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 am impressed how quick the process was to order, proof and recieve them on my front door - and I'm in Alabama! I highly recommend using Laura for any of your calligraphy needs!

These invites were lovely and a fraction of the cost of many others (especially those claiming to be free with your tux, that would have cost me over $700). I got all of the things I needed, return addresses printed, response cards invites etc. We were able to just go online, pic out the invite, colors and whatever specifics you needed. It showed you what you picked, colors how the words fit, right away and gave the price for all. It was easy. The only thing I was a little surprised at the smaller size of the invite, but I'm sure the measurements were there and I just overlooked them. It was still pretty and it fit into a regular envelope. Another good this is that it told you what invites would cost extra when shipped, which is nice because it isn't just the square ones.

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!

Laura was absolutely amazing to work with. We had her create a custom map save-the-date postcard which turned out fabulous. The buildings are almost exact replicas of the real things and the color/layout/overall design looks great. They are exactly what we were looking for. Not only is her work amazing, Laura is so nice that she makes the process incredibly easy. We completed all of the work over email and she always responded quickly and attentively. Plus, I made a few changes throughout the revision process and she was so accommodating about all of it. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura for whatever you need.

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 received my envelopes yesterday and all I can say is that the pictures on the website don't do her justice! That was the first thing I thought when I opened my package. Even the way she presents her work in the shipment is special! The pictures on her website are beautiful, but nothing prepares you for seeing her work in person. The lettering and designs are so intricate that I was amazed! She is very easy to work with, accommodating, and always responds to emails or phone calls right away. Initially I wanted the envelopes done and now I am thinking of having my placecards, menu's and programs done by her.

If you are reading the reviews and wondering if it would really be worth it, I can't stress enough.. IT IS! She is the best!

Thank you LAURA!

My invitation envelopes arrived last week and I was very impressed with the quality of Laura's work. Placing my order was a breeze and all was done via email - Laura is quick to respond and very helpful. I knew I was in for a treat but the final result exceeded my expectations. Even my fiancee commented on how impressed he was with her work. I loved the results so much I'm now having Laura write my escort cards. I highly recommend her!

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 am still working with Laura on rehearsal dinner invitation envelopes, place cards, escort cards and envelopes for Joe and my wedding in May.

Our inner and outer invitation envelopes arrived yesterday and each is a work of art and so beautiful. The web site sample is prettybut did not do justice to the beauty of the Elegance script when I saw it on the actual invitation....so classic and beautiful. I would give 10 stars if that was possible!

As a wedding blog addict, I'd done my research on Laura and knew her map would be fantastic... what I didn't know was how professional and yet personable her service would be...or how fast... or what an overwhelming response it would provoke in my guests: they've gone mad for it! Thank you so much Laura - I'm fast spreading the word about your super silky map skills this side of the Pond... so expect lots more English brides to order from you soon.
Much love

Laura Hooper is incredible! I literally stumbled upon her work one late night while surfing the internet for itinerary ideas. I am planning a laid-back, 10 year wedding celebration, and I wanted to have itineraries which were cool, different, and could also serve as a gorgeous keepsake for my guests who are attending. After contacting Laura, she assured me that she could take on the project;in no time, it was done--and BEAUTIFUL! Even my super-picky husband loves it! She has made a customer for life in me. I highly recommend her if you want one-of-a-kind, exquisitely- detailed products.

Thanks Laura, hugs and kisses!

Laura created custom invitations, thank you notes and a map for our wedding and the experience was wonderful; the outcome is magnificent. We were attracted to her work because of the way her style blends the classic with something new and fresh. And our invitations, map and notes do just that. They are romantic and new and beautiful and classic.

Despite my firm belief that we could plan a wedding with little to no stress, (so naive!!) I was proved wrong at almost every turn. However, working with Laura, was a respite for me, she was so lovely and professional--the most relaxing piece of our wedding puzzle. Always prompt and calm. And the finished product is so beautiful! Every time I look at my invitations I get a fresh wave of excitement about the wedding! Now our response cards are coming back, with little notes about how beautiful the invitations are. We agree. And the map is adorable and chic. Our friends and family have been raving about them too. We've ordered thank you notes from the suite to use as a reminder of our wedding, as husband and wife and yes, you guessed it. They are beautiful as well!

Thank you, Laura!

Laura is an extremely professional and super talented calligrapher. She addressed our outer envelopes for our upcoming New Year's Wedding and they are absolutely beautiful. Not only did she deliver on time, but she put up with my last minute list additions and revisions and she didn't let it get in the way of getting the job done! She is now working on our wedding escort cards and rehearsal dinner placecards. I can't wait to get them back.

Thanks, Laura!!

As a life-long paper addict, I really wanted to leave my mark on the wedding, to reflect class and history and be memorable, all without spending a fortune. I kept running across Laura's name, first via a magazine, then the Crane paper blog, and finally on Etsy. When I sent her my ideas for a historically-drawn palm tree and RSVP postcard, she responded right away with a great price and great ideas. I was so excited to be able to work with a calligrapher and ended up finding more and more projects for her. She was such a joy to work with and so friendly and prompt; it was such a blessing to have a real person to consult on stickier etiquette details, and that solved a lot of family arguments ("LAURA said..."). She always returned proofs and products before deadline, and even squeezed in my programs at the last second.

Every time I got a package or an email from her, I couldn't have been happier with the product. My fiance couldn't stop talking about our invitations, and people assumed we were having a large, expensive wedding because of how gorgeous they were. A bunch of people told me they weren't sending back the postcard because they were going to keep it! She also designed our programs, placards, and table signs, and guests came up to me at the reception specifically to tell me how beautiful they were. Everyone was just CRAZY about the programs.

I'm framing EVERYTHING :)

Laura worked with us to create Save-the-date announcements and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. We are located in PA and are having a CA wedding, so we had a Bi-fold with a custom map created and filled it with lots of information for our traveling guests. We worked together to customize the map - understand this is a process - Laura sent us the first draft and then was very open to changes and additions that we made. The end result is an artistic creation that we will cherish forever. Laura's service and quality of work is impeccable.

We are now working with Laura to create our wedding invitations. We are also going to have her create another map of the historic town of Rancho Santa Fe, where our wedding will be held, which will be placed in our guests welcome baskets when they arrive at the hotel for the weekend.

Thank you Laura and I look forward to working with you on our next project!

Laura created a personalized hand drawn map for my wedding invitations. I have an extreme attention to detail and I was very impressed with the final product. Laura was always very prompt in returning my emails, which was greatly appreciated. She was happy to accommodate all of my requests, even the super picky detailed ones. She also made sure I received my maps, here in florida, with enough time to meet my invitation mailing date.

The total cost was around $500-$600 for 100 double sided color maps.....I had written directions and hotel info on the back. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for", the price was worth it for the quality and attention I received. I am looking forward to having my map printed onto tote bags for my hotel guests! I highly recommend using this vendor, you will truly be impressed!

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!

Laura is GREAT! Her work is absolutely beautiful and she got everything to us more than 2 weeks before expected. We were able to do all planning and changes via email (she is in California and we are in Atlanta, GA) and she always responded quickly. The finished product is even better than I had imagined. Her work is not only creative but has a very personal, custom feel.

When it comes to a wedding vendor, Laura is the complete package. She is supremely talented, gracious and very customer oriented. I live in Arkansas, so we corresponded solely via email. At the very beginning I was anxious about this, but immediately Laura calmed my fears with quick and efficient responses. She created the most fabulous Save the Dates map post cards. Our guests are still emailing us about them! You will not find a warmer, more talented calligrapher and artist. I couldn't recommend her more.

Laura is fabulous! She responded to our email while on vacation! Who do you know does this? We sent her the info for my daughter's Save-the-Date Map and in less than 2 weeks we have the beautiful finished product. Even after I goofed on the addressing of the postcards she kept coming back with solutions. She answered each of my numerous emails within minutes ! She is a pleasure to work with. We are in Miami, Florida and I am looking for ways we can use her for the rest of my daughter's wedding items. I recommend her very highly. She is a class act.

Laura did a fantastic job. I am incredibly happy with her artwork AND her dedication to customer service. (I wish all my vendors were as accommodating and honest as her.) I have gotten raves about our save-the-date maps, and the creation process was simple and fast! Laura always responded to my emails immediately. I'm in Chicago, so I was a little wary about ordering save-the-dates from all the way across the country, but Laura was very reliable and professional. I hope to use her again when it comes time to print the menu cards!

I would recommend her to anyone who wants something different and chic for their wedding.

I am so lucky that I was able to find Laura Hooper in California all the way from Chicago and experience her unique work. I can't wait for our guests to receive our one-of-a-kind save the date map.

The ordering process was quick and easy, and Laura was always very friendly when answering my questions. This meant a lot to me. And the icing on the cake was when my envelopes showed up a week earlier than promised. Thank you again!

Laura was able to take my ideas, concepts and expectations and make them a reality. I have received only the highest compliments from my guests on the look of the invitations. We loved the invitations so much that we used her calligraphy services for everything from our favors, to our table numbers, to the seating chart, etc. Laura's invitations are anything but "Cookie Cutter". If you can imagine it… she can do it. I would 100% recommend her to any of my friends and/or family!

When I found LHCalligraphy on the web, I immediately fell in love with the custom maps! And when I saw pictures of Laura's invitations and calligrpahy, I knew I wanted her to create my invitations. Although I have never met Laura face-to-face (I live in NYC), the process of working with her was seamless (and conducted mainly via email). I picked out a few designs of Laura's that I liked, I told her the colors and calligraphy I liked, and she designed a beautiful invitation suite (invitation, reception card, response card, and custom map). Laura was also helpful in guiding me into a paper that I would like (she mailed me samples so I could gauge what paper stock would be best for me). Finally, she also did a wonderful job with the custom map -- the time she took to get every last detail "perfect" was greatly appreciated. The end result was a beautiful invitation set that I've gotten TONS of compliments on! Next project? Working with Laura on the menu and program!

The calligraphy for the addresses was adorable as well. She went above and beyond to help us (stamps, glassine envelopes, edits). Laura's artistry is totally worth the splurge. She really took the time to conceptualize something very special for us, and I felt lucky to have found her in time to work with us for our wedding! Thanks, Laura!

I chose a save the date with a map and travel details - all of my guests keep calling to tell me what a wonderful idea it was.... Well, it wasn't me. It was Laura! It was such a special piece and now I'm looking forward to working with her on my next project (destination info. for the welcome bags). If you're wondering if it's worth the money, it is. She worked within my budget and I would highly recommend her!

I live on the East Coast and was unable to make a personal appointment with Laura to view her works in person. Within several days I had a handful of (free!) samples showcasing her talents. I ended up going with a tri-fold map for my save-the-dates and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The entire process was professional, prompt and courteous - Laura's been easier to work with than many of the local vendors I'm using! I am over the moon with the finished product. Everything, from the beautiful calligraphy to the map artistry, came out perfectly. I couldn't wait to get the cards in the mail just so our guests could see her great work. I look forward to working with Laura again in the future.

Laura was absolutely amazing and provided the absolute best service exceeding all other wedding vendors we worked with. She responded to emails so quickly that I thought she must be cloned, and she was incredibly professional and fixed an error on one of our seating cards very quickly 4 days before our wedding and overnighted the card across the country so it arrived days early to soothe a stressed bride!!

Laura did the calligraphy for our invite envelopes, escort cards and envelopes, menu belly bands, table names, random signs throughout the wedding, and also made us a custom map for our invites. I couldn't have been happier with her work. It was pure artwork and pure goodness!! We received so many compliments on our invites and then again at the wedding.

I would recommend Laura to anyone, no matter where you live. She's easy to work with and can send her finished product anywhere, so to all you east coast brides, I'd sign her up!!

Her turnaround time was speedy and she responded to all my questions and concerns via phone or email in a timely fashion. We received several compliments on her calligraphy as soon as we sent out our save-the-date cards.

Her staff is extremely responsive, patient and professional and their designs are individual works of art. If you are looking to make an impression on your friends, family and all guests, a LAURA HOOPER CALLIGRAPHY MASTERPIECE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!

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.

I was a little concerned about using a vendor that was out of state but working with Laura could not have been easier! We asked Laura to address our invitations and I do not regret it. The process was so easy and very affordable. And when I received my envelopes in the mail, wrapped so nicely and bound with ribbon, I was so happy! Not only is she easy to work with her work is amazing - and there are so many options. I will be recommending LH Calligraphy in the future.

Great work Laura, I hope to work with you again soon!

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!

When it came to doing something different for my save the date cards for our destination wedding, I definitely wanted something fun and inviting. I knew that I wanted to use her maps after coming across her work on this website - they're amazing! Laura was great to work with from day one - I wanted something slightly different for my cards and she really came through! We collectively came up with a Z-fold card that could hold a map and all kinds of details about the wedding and other weekend events, with a custom designed envelope. She had great ideas and the draft was ready in one week! I am thrilled with the results, and I know my guests will not have seen anything like it. She was patient with my indecisive self as I wanted to make slight changes and was always available to provide a good suggestion. The envelope calligraphy was perfect and she quickly corrected the few mistakes that were made. The cards turned out better than I could have ever expected! I was especially impressed with her artistic talents - the maps and icons she designed are priceless. I will definitly be using Laura for my other stationary needs.

Laura's work is absolutely stunning! She did our outer envelopes in "Elegance", and I almost couldn't let them go! We've received tons of compliments about the calligraphy.

In addition to doing such a great job on the calligraphy, Laura was probably the best vendor at getting back to me promptly and informatively. I highly recommend her!

Laura created custom save-the-date maps for my destination wedding. The map/save the date card turned out so wonderfully! I looked at some previous maps she had drawn and incorporated many of those same design elements, but Laura also created a few new custom illustrations for my map. I was so excited about the map that I ordered a large keepsake version that my fiance and I are going to frame and put in our new house! If I can fit it into my budget, I am going to have her design my invitation as well. Although her illustrations and calligraphy are top notch, my favorite thing about Laura is that she is AMAZINGLY prompt about responding to my emails. I swear she has a blackberry on her at all times! Very highly recommended!!

Working with Laura Hooper was fantastic! She was so easy to work with....the quality of her products was amazing and the service she provided was absolutely outstanding. I never worried about a thing...we corresponded thru email and her responses to all of my questions were answered almost as soon as I sent the email! I did Maps, place cards, welcome bag tags and table number signs thru her...and I was making changes the week before, which she quickly responded to and completed without a problem! Laura exceeded my expectations with her beautiful calligraphy, awesome graphics, adorable maps and customer service that went above and beyond. Her prices were great...I would highly, highly recommend Laura Hooper! Laura was, by far, the easiest vendor I worked with...I wish everyone could have been so stress free! Thank you Laura for your fabulous work and awesome customer service.

Let me just start out by saying that Laura Hooper is amazing. I found her online, and decided to give her a call. To my COMPLETE surprise, she answered the phone (if you are in the process of wedding planning, you are probably aware of the fact that when you call a vendor, you almost never get someone live on the other end). I shared with her my ideas and the overall theme I wanted for my wedding invitations. She not only gave me some awesome suggestions, she actually started emailing me pictures of work she had done while I was on the phone with her! She spent so much time with me- I could not believe it! She gave me my proof for the Save the Dates within a week. I just received all of the Save the Dates today at work. I was hyperventilating when I saw the final product! My Save the Dates were wrapped in beautiful floral wrapping paper with a satin bow. I was speechless when I saw how absolutely gorgeous they were!! Laura was also kind enough to enclose a hand-written note thanking ME for choosing her. I would recommend Laura for any wedding project you have in mind. I cannot wait for her to design my invitations, programs and a custom map. Thank YOU so much, Laura!

Laura is responsive: a call or email is quickly answered. She is straightforward and professional: no upselling or surprises and always a prompt turnaround. She is creative and incredibly skilled: the hand she used on our invitations and custom ink color translated into beautiful artisan calligraphy. She is reasonable: her pricing scales with the intricacy of the font selected and provides good value relative to the superior quality of her work. Laura is your best bet if you want the very best calligraphy, without the headaches and drama of working with a "prima donna". She is an ablsolute gem of a person and an amazingly gifted artist. I wish there was a sixth star!

I was seriously SO impressed with Laura. She ALWAYS answered my emails no matter how crazy or annoying I would be! I received everything quickly and her work is incredibly beautiful and the prices are very reasonable. Her calligraphy was the one thing I received the most positive feedback and compliments on. I would not hesitate to use her for any event of yours! I admit I was a little nervous at first just because I am based in New York City, she is based in California, yet she understood everything I wanted and I could not have been happier with her. Thanks so much Laura!!!!

All I can say is that you haven't seen calligraphy until you've seen Laura's work. That was the first thing I thought when I saw my envelopes. The pictures on her website are beautiful, but nothing prepares you for seeing her gorgeous work in person. The lettering and designs are so intricate and fine that my fiance and I sat for thirty minutes, looking at each addressed envelope in amazement. She is also very easy to work with, gracious, and accommodating of scheduling. I'm trying to think of more excuses to have calligraphy done!

Very highly recommended. Thank you Laura!

Laura Hooper Calligraphy was amazing to work with. Even living on separate coasts, I was able to get quick service and responses to all my questions/concerns. My wedding envelope calligraphy looks absolutely beautiful. Laura was extremely responsive and professional. I was even able to get revisions for guests who moved in the middle of the process.

I happened to stumble across Laura Hooper’s work on a of couple blogs. I just got my envelopes back yesterday and they are gorgeous, her calligraphy style even more impressive in person, not to mention the beautiful effect of the handwritten ink to paper. Initially, I was already impressed by her vast range of style offerings from which to choose (and believe me, it was difficult narrowing it down based on so many superb choices…). Then after contacting her immediately upon discovery I was pleasantly surprised at how attentive, responsive and organized she was compared with my experiences researching other calligraphers. Laura was personally very down-to-earth and easy to partner with. I would absolutely recommend her, and call upon her talents again.

Laura is an absolute pleasure to work with! Her work is beautifully done, with every detail just perfect. She has so many great styles to choose from, it was hard to decide. Laura was professional, always responded promptly and was so nice to deal with every step of the process. I received my envelopes beautifully wrapped in gorgeous paper, tied with a satin ribbon, which made opening them even more exciting! Every envelope was done with perfection. I would absolutely use Laura again, and I highly recommend her!

I got engaged May of this year.
After all the celebration and shock had gone the whole wedding planning started. At first, like many newly engaged girl, I just became overwhelmed with all the possibilities, decisions, and options I had with such a vast Industry as that of weddings. For me the easiest decision I have had to make so far was on the Invitations. I looked at several vendors where I live, Puerto Rico, and the options where nice but they just didn’t convince me. They where either too pricey or just not my taste, I then turned to the greatest invention of the 20th century, the internet. After spending about an hour googling for invitations that met my taste and wallet I finally found Laura’s site! I instantly knew her work was right for me!

Laura Hooper is a super talented calligraphist from California, her work really speaks for itself. She not only has great taste but her work is really versatile, affordable (she has a wide range of prices) and she is very professional. When I first contacted Laura she answered me right away, and it was so through out the whole process. From the start she understood what I wanted, and gave me great opinions on what she thought would look best. I wanted my invitations to be very simple, yet elegant and with a subtle “beachy” feeling, and thats exactly what I got! I also got my invitations right away, a little over a week after I aproved the proofs. I have to say that I am really satisfied with the result, and withe the service.

I would definitely recommend Laura’s work to anyone who wants beautiful and unique invitations!
You can check out her website, which is beautifully done by the way, to find out more about her and see her work.

I would highly recommend Laura Hooper Calligraphy to all brides looking for a perfect save the date!
As soon as I started working with Laura I was amazed that it was Laura herself e-mailing me and helping me customize my save the dates. Not only did my save the dates come out exacty the way I wanted, the customer service was absolutely fantastic. It was a great feeling not to be rushed, it seemed extremely important for Laura to have her customers happy (I wish that happened more often in wedding planning).
The save the dates for our Bermuda wedding are beautiful and very appropriate for my fiance and me. It was great to be able to be a part of customizing something that means so much, and a lot of paper companies don’t allow that.
After the experience I had with the save the dates, I look forward to working with Laura and her team on other paper products for my wedding, it was an absolute pleasure!

I got the box of printed Save the Dates this weekend. They look stunning. Thank you so much for the beautiful map you created for us, and your recommendation to go with letterpress (so worth it). The calligraphy on the envelopes is beautiful, and I can't wait to send them out to everyone. Thanks so much Laura. They look prettier than I imagined.

Ryan just arrived with the envelopes and I am absolutely stunned! They are so gorgeous I am nearly speechless! You have such an amazing talent and perfected skill! I just can't quit looking at them! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and attention to detail. I just can't wait to show everyone! I have to say that I am a bit sad that I'll have to send them because they are just so wonderful. I guess I'll just have to take lots of pictures! BTW, I have been spreading your name around the knot message boards and now I have something to show the girls (besides a link to your website)! I am already getting excited about the table name cards, the place cards, and perhaps a Program (I haven't asked you about that last one yet, but I will)!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your fantastic work. You were so responsive and accommodating. I had been nervous about sending stuff to California, but you made it tremendously easy. I'll definitely tell everyone about you! (My sister in law even just asked me about you for her friend.) I started posting all over the knot (Boston, CA, planning, etc). I'll keep posting around, esp. when people ask for calligraphers.

I am sorry for the delay in sending this to you...but I wanted to say thank you for the work you did for my wedding this past July. I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your work. The calligraphy was just beautiful - from the addressing of our invites to the signs and the tile placecards - it was beyond my expectations and really complimented the style of our wedding. We received a ton of compliments and every time I look at the pieces I still get excited at how beautiful our invitations looked when our guests received them in addition to when they picked up the tile placecards at our reception. I definitely will use you again for any calligraphy needs and I thank you once again for all of your help.

Laura Hooper's enthusiasm for her work and dedication to perfection are positively unmistakeable. She is that remarkable artist who both appreciates the value of being meticulous, but is also open, friendly and easy to work with.

Her calligraphy and design work is simply beautiful, and her services, worth every penny. The best in her craft.
