I can't speak highly enough of Michelle from Juniper Calligraphy. I was looking for a local calligrapher to create unique name cards, amongst other things, for clients of mine. Michelle not only works with the ideas you have, but brings her own to the table as well. Her impeccable style and quality execution for each project has made her such an amazing vendor to work with. Michelle is not only incredible at what she does, but her personality and professionalism is the cherry on top. Mahalo for all of your help Michelle.

I hired Michelle from Juniper Calligraphy for my wedding through a recommendation, and I'm so glad I did! There were so many aspects of our ceremony and reception that had that extra touch because of Juniper's calligraphy talent. When looking at similar services on Oahu, Michelle's prices were extremely fair, but her quality of work was what drew me to hire her. She did everything in a timely fashion, from following up with updates and pictures, to sending mood boards and drafts so I knew exactly what to expect before the wedding. Overall, extremely happy to have worked with Michelle! She made my wedding day extremely special with all of the extra embellishments and luxurious presentation that traditional calligraphy gives!

Unbelievable talent, I couldnt believe how high quality my invitation suite was. Every detail was incredible, down to the homemade paper it photographed beautifully and was exactly what I was looking for. Michelle was incredible to work with, she had such a quick turn around time and is the sweetest person. Couldnt recommend more

Michelle absolutely killed it on our wedding prep! When you order from Juniper, you are ordering from a real artist who takes the time to hand calligraphy each piece-- no online templates or premade fonts here! We ordered hand lettered numbers for our tables, custom seating name tent cards, escort cards, menu... everything was perfect! All of the handmade touches were nothing compared to something that could have been done digitally. Juniper Calligraphy went above and beyond to make our special day feel unique and unreplicable! We refer her to all of our brides to be and couldn't image our wedding day without these special touches!
