Introduction: I think that my work stands out from others because I take extra care to make sure that my work is exactly what my customers envision. I look at every single detail and I think that my artwork/calligraphy shows that. I also pride myself in making the whole experience of creating a piece of artwork or addressing your wedding invitations as STRESS FREE as possible - I will bend over backwards to accommodate your every need. I absolutely LOVE being creative. I have the perfect job (preschool aide) to bring out my creativity on a day to day basis. Whether I am helping another teacher with a sequencing book - or just drawing leaves or pumpkins "on the fly" I love every minute of it. Plus I am out of school at 2:00 and I have Fridays off. My schedule allows me to be able to be creative every day!!

Melanie was by far one of the easiest vendors I worked with throughout the wedding-planning process. I found her on theknot.com. I contacted her, and she got back to me promptly. She was always such a pleasure to talk to, seemed genuinely excited and interested in my wedding, and was reasonably priced. When I called her, I had my guest list of addresses ready to go, but was prepared to have to wait a while if she had other brides to take of first. However, she was extremely accommdating, and said she'd get started on my envelopes as soon as I dropped them off. She managed to get 80 double-enveloeps finished in just a few days. It was amazing! They were PERFECT! She has two fonts to choose from, both of which are gorgeous. I was extremely happy with the one I chose. She followed our list perfectly, and followed up with me during the process to make suggestions regarding etiquette. She even caught a mistake I had made, and ensured that it was corrected prior to being written on the envelope - over and above the call of duty! She kept me up to date step-by-step throughout the process, and was so easy to get in contact with via email. The finished products were truly works of art. Many of our guests have commented on how spectacular they look. I would recommend her to anyone! She also has followed up with me since I picked them up, and has noted that she does placecards as well. I'll definitely be keeping her in mind once all those response cards make their way back to me!

Melanie was a pleasure to work with and did a beautiful job! She addressed our wedding invitations and they were gorgeous. Melanie was very careful in choosing the perfect color to compliment our invitations. Her style is beautiful! Further, Melanie was a pleasure to work with. We were on a tight schedule and Melanie worked with us to have everything done on our timeline - she was actually able to get them done earlier than anticipated for us. After we picked up the envelopes I had a question regarding envelop stuffing and Melanie had an answer for me right away. She is very knowledgeable about all things related to invitation etiquette. Melanie was so nice and accommodating and did an absolutely beautiful job! I would 100% use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a calligrapher.

I used Melanie to address my daughter's wedding invitations for October of 2011. What a delight Melanie was to work with and what beautiful work she does. She made several suggestions to me, worked with me on addresses and even found and corrected several mistakes I had made. She also completed the invitations in the time frame that I asked her to. Her calligraphy was beautiful and made our invitations even more special. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Both my daughter and I are very glad that we used her.

OMG....i don't know where to start. Melanie did an amazing job on our place cards. As you know planning a wedding takes work but dealing with Melanie made things so easy because when I didn't have the answer to an issue she did. She is extremely professional but yet super warm and welcoming. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking to have quality work done.

I can not say enough positive things about Melanie Hill. I was impressed when she first replied to my email and even more once I spoke to her on the phone. My situation was not an easy one for I left my escort cards till the last minute. She was more than willing to work with me and accommodated my needs. She was very professional and quite friendly. I requested a special pen color and she worked her magic. She is easy to get a hold of through email and phone, she responds promptly unlike other calligraphy businesses I had contacted. From her first email response I knew I wanted to work with Melanie and I am so glad I did. She is fantastic!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I don't - number of envelopes, color of ink, time frame that's about it. Artwork - it just depends on the piece.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
No I don't - but if something in the town continuing education booklet jumped out at me - I would jump on it - that is if I had the time!!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I went to school to be an art teacher - but I didn't get to do my practice teaching, then I got married etc. and never went back and did it. I regret it now - but I have had the luxury of doing so many unbelievably creative things - designing bookcovers for Large Print books doing all kinds instructional media for the phone company. Designing the town booklet and drawing various town land marks for the Chamber of Commerce in my town. Working with so many interesting people and always being able to do something creative to help out various causes.
