"They are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined..."

Ever since Jeanie picked up the beautiful envelopes you addressed for us, I have been wanting to email you to express my gratitude for your gorgeous work. They are more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. I put them in the mail on Monday, and I have already heard from quite a few friends and family telling us how lovely they are. I couldn’t be more pleased and I just had to tell you so myself. Thank you so very much.

"I appreciate the time and love put into this work of art..."

Thank you so much for the amazing job that you did on my son’s birth certificate. This precious memory would not be the same without you and this amazing gift that God has given to you. I am blessed to have found this company and I appreciate the time and love put into this work of art.

"Thank you very much for bringing that special touch to my wedding invitations..."

I wanted to let you know how beautiful the envelopes and table signs looked. You did a wonderful job. Thank you very much for bringing that special touch to my wedding invitations. I was able to mail them out on Christmas Eve.

"Your work was in a whole different league than anyone else..."

Thank you for such a beautiful job on Amanda’s invitations and envelopes. Amanda said they were “awesome” which is very high praise coming from her. I was talking to a stationary vender in the Woodlands and I told her you were doing our calligraphy and she said you were the only true calligrapher in Houston and that your work was in a whole different league than anyone else. FYI. Thanks again.

"We were amazed and impressed with your talent!"

Hi Maureen. I can’t tell you how pleased and thrilled we are with your calligraphy on the wedding invitation envelopes. So lovely! We are amazed and impressed with your talent! Thank you so much. We will talk soon about the menu cards and more…Thanks!

"Several of our wedding guests told us that the calligraphy was so fabulous on the invitation that they felt like framing it..."

Maureen Vickery’s calligraphy is like a work of art. The lettering flows flawlessly through her pen onto paper. She is incredibly talented!

One of our wedding guests, who received an invitation calligraphed by Maureen, was a congressman. When he saw the beautiful writing he told his wife that “it must be an invitation to the White House for a state dinner.” Needless to say, he and his wife were impressed with the beauty and precision of the calligraphy!

Several of our wedding guests told us that the calligraphy was so fabulous on the invitation that they felt like framing it. Another wedding guest was so amazed with his name done so well in calligraphy that he wanted to have it reproduced on his business cards.

"The most exquisite envelopes you have ever seen..."

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!!!

"Thank you for your talent and for adding a special touch to a storybook wedding..."

Dear Maureen,

Gary and I want to thank you so much for your beautiful artistry for Denise and Josh’s wedding. The Copperplate calligraphy on the invitations was breathtaking. It really set the stage for an outstanding wedding. Before the guests went to the outdoor ceremony, they were greeted with golden table cards with their names beautifully written… and the table numbers beautifully coordinated with the menus and programs.

Thank you for your talent and for adding a special touch to a storybook wedding. I’ll email you pictures so you can see how everything turned out. Thanks again. It was wonderful working with you. Fondly…

- Marsha

" I just can’t imagine how we would have put together such an elegant event without your talent..."

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…

- Ellen Kalish

"Every person we see absolutely raves..."

Well, I just want you to know that every person we see absolutely raves about how beautiful the invitations were — people are calling to tell us, too! Thank you for all of your hard and beautiful work!

- Deborah Vest

"I'm lucky I found you..."

Maureen, I’ve been meaning to tell you just how much everybody “ooohed” and “awwwwed” over the wedding invitations…due largely in part to your amazingly elegant calligraphy! I’m lucky I found you and greatly appreciate your talent and ability.

- Bethany Burnam

"I know everyone will cherish them..."

"More beautiful than I ever expected..."

Maureen- Thank you for sharing your talent! Everyone wants to know who did my calligraphy. Not only did the invitations turn out more beautiful than I ever expected, but your whole system is so organized! I used your list for all rsvps.

I also used the numbers by each address to label the back of the reply cards lightly in pencil for those who respond with nicknames or handwriting I can’t read. I can’t tell you how easy you made the invitation experience. I will continue to recommend you to everyone and use you in the future for parties!

- Shelley Toomey

"The envelopes are absolutely beautiful..."

"One guest said that they wanted you to paint an entire wall with your penmanship..."

Maureen, Greetings! I do not know how you have kept from having a nervous breakdown dealing with calligraphy for weddings! Than having been said, we are thrilled that you were able to master our complicated list of names! Your artistry has received RAVE REVIEWS for the Herz Promecene invitations. One guest said that they wanted you to paint an entire wall with your penmanship. Several did not want to open the invites, others have chosen to keep the entire package after receipt! In any event, thank you so much for setting the tone for Melanie and Chris’s nuptials. I hope that the rest of the wedding lives up to the invitation!! With utmost respect…

- B.J. and Buddy Herz

"My deepest appreciation for your excellent and very personal care..."

Dear Don and Maureen, Just a note to thank you both once again for the beautiful calligraphy on my Rehearsal Dinner invitations and place cards. Most remarkable was the quick turn-around time. You are a lovely, charming young couple and I wish you great future success. Can’t wait for Steve and Marsha to see the engraved wine bottle, a fabulous service you offer among many others. Again, my deepest appreciation for your excellent and very personal care.

- Kathy Schattner

"Your beautiful calligraphy really made our wedding so elegant and personal..."

Dear Maureen, I can’t believe that our first anniversary is rapidly approaching! …In any case, I am so sorry I haven’t contacted you about this sooner, but I did want to send you some things from our wedding (a CD of pictures as well as a few leftover printed items) so you can see all the various ways we used your calligraphy in our wedding. Really if we had any kind of theme, it would be your calligraphy – it was so beautiful, absolutely my favorite decorative element from our wedding!

…Again, thank you so much from working with us! Your beautiful calligraphy really made our wedding so elegant and personal. I have various keepsakes such as our invitation and our ceremony program cover framed in our home, and I still get such joy out of seeing how beautiful they are. I can’t get enough of your gorgeous artistry, and I look forward to any opportunity I might have in the future to work with you again!
