LOVE NOTES

from clients

"An absolute dream to work with."

Carisse designed stunning table setting place cards for an elevated brand dinner, and they truly tied the entire tablescape together. Not only were they beautifully crafted, but she also turned them around incredibly quickly and was an absolute dream to work with! Could not recommend enough!
- Kimberly, Foundation PR
"I couldn't recommend her more."

I worked with Carisse for my wedding invitations and it cannot be overstated how OVER THE MOOON I was with both the product and the service from inception through completion. She worked with me on making everything feel really custom and aligned with me … She is a 10 out of 10!! I couldn’t recommend her more.
- Ashley, Bride
"As a wedding planner, it was an absolute pleasure collaborating with Carisse."

I was truly impressed by her professionalism, exceptional talent, and meticulous attention to detail. Her work was outstanding, and I deeply appreciated her collaborative spirit. My client was so delighted to see the gorgeous event brand come to life, beautifully appearing into every element of the celebration. The design process was flawless and so exciting. Moreover, her live calligraphy station was a big hit during the celebration and added an intentional and thoughtful approach to the guest experience. Can't wait to work with her again!
— Carol, Flying Little Birds Wedding Planning
"Her work is unique and stunning."

I absolutely love working with Carisse. Her work is unique and stunning. I’m always looking for a way to incorporate calligraphy into anything I do, whether it’s holiday cards, table menus, etc. Looking forward to working with her again very soon.
- Angela, New York
"I cannot say enough amazing things about Carisse and her beautiful talent of taking ordinary pieces and adding the most lovely calligraphy to them. "

I worked with her on a project where I had some vintage brass vessels that I was upcycling into candles to give as gifts. The process of working with her was seamless. We consulted about what engravings I wanted and she really saw my vision right away. Not only is her work beautiful, the craftsmanship is amazing! I will 1000% be using her again for any of my calligraphy needs!
- Sarah T, Redeux Kids
"I'll be using you for every party."

The place cards were a HIT ... people literally didn't believe me that I said you did it freehand ... Thank you again. The bad news is now you'll have to work more because I'll be using you for every party.
- Stephanie, New York
