| Comments: | Debi's calligraphy is absolutely gorgeous! People raved about my daughter, Amy's, invitations , espeially the calligraphy. Every card was just perfect, a true work of art. The brown ink on the cream invitations was stunning. Debi takes great pride in her work. The envelopes arrived in perfect condition wrapped in beautiful tissue paper and tied with a pretty bow. Debi is also a very sweet person and a pleasure to do business with. I would recommend her highly. |

| Comments: | We have had three weddings in two years. Debi did our last wedding, and raves are still coming from that one. I knew I would use her for our daughter's September Boston wedding, which was a leaf, tree, and foliage motif. She did not disappoint; our invitations were cream with chocolate brown leaves on the envelopes. Debi matched her ink to the exact brown color with a bit of shimmer added. Again, the raves came in. Many were in disbelief that the calligraphy was done by a human hand, because the addresses were so perfect. The table cards and place cards also matched with her brown ink, and created the perfect touch to our autumn wedding. Debi delivers promptly, and the paper goods are always tied up with gauzy ribbon to match the wedding colors. Thanks, Debi, for providing the icing on our wedding cake!! |

| Comments: | Words can not express how beautiful my envelopes turned out. They were so much more than I ever expected. In your calligraphy you have managed to capture the elegance of what I am hoping to achieve at my wedding. I can't stop looking at them! It is hard to mail such beautiful work. Thank you so much Debi! I would reccomend you a thousand times over! |

| Comments: | Well, our Boston wedding was last weekend (9/22/07), and our theme was leaves, trees and foliage. We had cream envelopes with brown leaves on them. Debi matched the leaves with brown ink when she did the calligraphy. It was simply stunning, and very unique. It set the tone for the wedding, which had a fairyland autumnal quality with gold leaves as favors, and a willow tree with hanging candles and flowers in the branches, and place cards, also done in brown ink by Debi, under the tree on a bed of moss. The calligraphy was perfect! I had countless compliments. Debi had done our other daughter's wedding in March this year, and I knew she was the one to do the next daughter. I can't say enough about her perfect script and her kindness. Thanks, Debi, for the icing on the cake! |

| Comments: | Debi did such a beautiful job on our daughter's recent wedding in Dallas that she is now going to do our NEXT daughter's September wedding in Boston! Her calligraphy is more like artwork than writing, and several of my friends have framed their invitation envelopes. Best of all, Debi is a very caring person who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Every detail is perfect, and she will respond immediately to the nervous mother-of-the-bride questions with calming advice. I can't say enough about Debi, except to say you will have an amazing experience and wonderful memories if you use her! |

| Comments: | The photos here really do not do her work justice. I am a perfectionist, but I was absolutely stunned when I saw her actual work: it truly is exquisite. I want to hand-deliver the invitations so these beautiful envelopes don't get all smooshed up in the mail! She is very professional, pleasant to work with, prompt, and her prices are quite reasonable. She squeezed us in as a rush job, completing you-don't-want-to-know-how-many envelopes in a weekend, but maintained a sense of humor and professionalism throughout. I definitely will recommend her to anyone and everyone I know who is looking for a calligrapher for any purpose! |

| Comments: | Debi designed my wedding invitation, menus, table cards, and of course, did all my envelopes. I was amazed at how beautiful every piece turned out. Three different guests had my invitation framed in various ways as gifts because they said they had never seen such a gorgeous and unique invitation and wanted to make sure I had it preserved. (I proudly hang one in my foyer). Her prices are more than reasonable and be sure to have the hand painted roses! To see for yourself, check out the gallery (mine is "Nicole Alison to James Patrick McKeon"). I will be returning to have Debi design birth announcements when the time comes!!! Thanks Debi - it's been a few years, but your work was one of my favorite aspects of my wedding! |

| Comments: | We had Debi address the envelopes and write out the placecards for our July 2003 wedding. She did an amazing job! Everything was so beautiful. Her work was much better than that of other calligraphers that we contacted and her prices were much more reasonable. Don't have any qualms about sending your precious envelopes or invitations through the mail/UPS/Fed Ex and conducting business with a vendor who you will probably never meet in person- everything went smoothly. Debi is a truly talented professional who has really found her calling! She is HIGHLY recommended! |

| Comments: | Debi's work is the most beautiful I have ever seen! To see her artwork in person is even more amazing then looking at it on the web. I wanted to call her immediately to tell her how much I loved every envelope! I also wanted them to be a surprise when I mailed them to my parents, but could not wait and instead called them over so they could see how beautiful they were as well. My parents were also amazed at the perfection and beauty of each envelope. Debi is truly the sweetest, most talented and most professional person to deal with. If every detail were as beautiful, as painless, and as reasonably priced as Debi's this wedding planning stuff would be a breeze! Debi, Thank you a million times over! I can't wait to send out my invitations! Thank you! Thank you! Fondly, Cyndi |

I sent her my envelopes and got back the MOST beautiful calligraphered invitations I have ever seen. They are so fantastic and I am so grateful. Thanks a million Debi. |

She was so accommodating, despite contacting her in short notice. Debi also designed a beautiful monogram for me and my husband. We received so many compliments on all of the amazing things she created for us. Our guests, many of whom have been to the fanciest of affairs, said that the programs and menus were the most beautiful they had ever seen. We can't say enough great things about her work. She was wonderful to work with, pleasant to talk to, and her attention to details is unmatchable. And, her prices are very reasonable. |
