Hand Calligraphy

Hot Weather

What does the term “hand calligraphy” mean to you?

a) charming, graceful, elegant, nostalgic (Jane Austen, Downton Abbey)
b) chic, fresh, whimsical, expressive (Modern Calligraphy)
c) buying a calligraphy set at the local craft store and trying to figure out those pesky upstrokes and downstrokes (meh!)

Our calligrapher, Maureen Vickery (who prefers answers ‘a’ and ‘b’), would love to work with you to create custom hand-rendered details for your wedding, special event, or unique personalized gifts.

Maureen has been trained in the historic styles of hand calligraphy, but also loves the personality and freedom that modern calligraphy offers.

Hi, Maureen, I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how many wonderful compliments I have received on your calligraphy. Everyone has been so impressed with your work, and I have had SEVERAL people tell me that it is the most beautiful calligraphy they have ever seen. Thank you for providing such high quality artistry at such reasonable pricing!

How lucky we are to have found you!  Alana and Alan’s entire wedding bore your artistic imprint: your calligraphy for the invitation was masterful and it was fantastic to have the same gorgeous script on the response card, reception card, and all envelopes.

I’m sure you haven’t done calligraphy on preserved ivy leaves [as place cards] before, and may not again soon, but they were exquisite, as were the “share your wishes” card and monogram you designed for the newlyweds. I just can’t imagine how we would have put together such an elegant event without your talent — the fact that you were so patient and willing to experiment was just frosting on the (wedding) cake!

Thank you for the many ways in which your talent contributed to this very special event in our lives. I can’t wait to think of another project on which we can collaborate. With great appreciation…

WOW!!! As a client of Maureen Vickery’s, that is the simplest way I can describe her work! However, there is nothing simple about her work.

Maureen addressed the envelopes for an event we had six months ago. It was a big Gala in Florida and most of the invitees were dignitaries. For anyone who has worked in event planning, especially events involving political leaders, you know it’s hard to get their attention with an invitation because they see so many every day. With Maureen’s efforts to make this a hit, she decided to spice things up a bit with the most exquisite envelopes you have ever seen.

Now I know you are thinking how exquisite can an envelope with someone’s name and address be? Well hands down this was like nothing you have ever seen before! Some of the guests were employees of our company, and they asked that their invites not be sent through the mail so the stamp and postage would not ruin the “wow” of seeing their name so beautifully done. I still have mine in my top desk drawer and plan to use Maureen for all of my future needs.

… All in all, we here at the Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C give Maureen 5 Thumbs Up!!!
