Reviews
Bella Grafia Calligraphy was a dream to work with!! Janet's calligraphy is unbelievably beautiful, pictures could not do it justice! We had so many coworkers, family, friends (even single guys in their 20s who normally would not even notice something like this) comment on how beautiful her work is. I was on the fence about calligraphy initially, but I'm so glad I spent the money! Your wedding invitations set the overall tone for your wedding, and Janet's penmanship will really set your invitations above the rest. Janet made the process extremely easy from start to finish, and even provided a courier service to pick up and drop off the envelopes at my convenience. She even returned the envelopes to us a few days early, which allowed us to get a head start on assembling and mailing the invitations out (not having to rush is such a blessing). Not only was she incredibly responsive to my emails and questions, she gave me (unprompted) updates to let me know how the process was going, and even sent pictures so I could see the progress along the way and to make sure I was pleased with the work. I wish all my vendors could be even HALF as professional, prompt, and effective as Bella Grafia Ink. I would highly recommend Janet to anyone, and I am a super Type A, perfectionist, picky bride.

I cannot express to you how impressed I am with Janet at Bella Grafia's calligraphy work. I have received just as many compliments on the calligraphy on the envelopes as the invitation itself. Some of my guests said they think they should frame the envelope because it's just that beautiful. Not only is the work perfection, but the service is outstanding. It only took a few days for Janet to complete my 135 addresses and get them back to me. She kept me posted on the process and sent me pictures as she was working. I would recommend Bella Grafia Ink to anyone!

Janet at Bella Grafia Calligraphy is AMAZING. As brides are already stressed out about their big day, she makes things so much less stressful with her responsiveness. My invitations were perfect and looked exactly like the examples she provides on her website. Her turnaround is quick. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.

Working with Bella Grafia has been one of the best experiences of my wedding planning process. Professional, timely & accommodating are just a few words that describe Janet. She cares just as much, if not more, than you do about making your invitations convey the spirit of the event. Her work literally brought tears to my eyes!!

I cannot say enough great things about Janet. She was truly a blessing! I was in a crunch and she worked around the clock to get my invitations out on time. She did an incredible job - I received so many emails and texts raving about her work from my wedding guests. If you are looking for a professional, responsive calligrapher who does beautiful work - look no further. Highly recommend!

Working with Janet was an absolute pleasure. From the first moment I wrote to her, her responses were very prompt. She kept me updated on the progress of the job throughout the entire process. And the finished products were breathtaking! She is truly an artist and delivers beautiful calligraphy. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to add that special touch to their wedding invitations. Janet's calligraphy truly make them memorable - I can't tell you how many of my guests have commented on how stunning the invites were!!!
Lauren P.
I truly cannot thank you enough - you are just the kindest and most wonderful ever, and we're so grateful to collaborate with such a talented artist!

Couldn't be happier! My invitations are gorgeous and everyone I showed them to couldn't believe they were done by hand.
Jennifer S.
The calligraphy for my wedding invitations were absolutely stunning! The turnaround time was quick and the prices were affordable. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to set their invitations apart by using Bella Grafia's calligraphy!

We are so happy we chose to have our envelopes addressed by a calligrapher. I decided on Bella Grafia because it was clear she appreciates and is passionate about the beautiful presentation of the written word. As someone who appreciates it this as as well, but woefully inadequate in the art, the decision was clear. Janet was quick to respond, timely, enthusiastic, creative and willing to offer suggestions, and eager to ensure everything was done to perfection. We received so many compliments on the calligraphy; it was more than worth it! I would highly recommend her to anyone for your next event or calligraphy needs!

Janet was an absolute pleasure to work with. She provided her beautiful calligraphy services for our porcelain tiles that we used as escort cards. She loved our creative idea and had no hesitation trying out this unique idea with ease. She was very accommodating in regard to when she would meet with us to pick-up tiles and she worked with us on our last minute add-ins.

Janet did an amazing job on my wedding invitations, I couldn't have been more pleased with the final product. She was very easy to work with and had them back to me in record time. Very professional and would highly recommend to anyone that needs beautiful calligraphy work done.
Belinda C.
I can sum up working with Bella Grafia Calligraphy quite succinctly-- professional, prompt, & pleasant! The owner was very kind and offered her expertise to help bring my ideas to life. I trusted that she would execute my vision and that is exactly what happened. I couldn't have been more pleased. I look forward to working with Bella Grafia again in the future for all of my calligraphy needs!

Janet was immensely helpful with my wedding stationery! She was well-versed in several writing styles and her level of perfectionism really showed on each envelope! She also made a beautiful seating chart of my guests' names...I will definitely be using her for future projects!

Bella Grafia provides the most unique "one-of-a-kind", creative designs with the most elegant craftsmanship. Mrs. Brown's artistic vision brings to light the most beautiful creation desired. I highly recommend Bella Grafia's services!

Janet penned a poem for me that I have framed for my office. She did a lovely job and was very prompt and professional in our dealings. I have since recommended her to friends, and would not hesitate to do so again.
Libby P.
For my first wedding anniversary, I had the idea to get a calligrapher to write the readings from our wedding. But, a month before our anniversary, it was still just an idea. So I emailed a few calligraphers from Houston and decided to go with Bella Grafia and Janet. She was easy to communicate with, more than reasonably priced, finished the pieces quickly, and did a fantastic job. She took my idea and made it a reality. My wife loved her work and they will be a part of our lives forever.
S. Disch
My experience with Bella Grafia was amazing! She was so patient with me and made sure I was 100% happy with every single detail. The envelopes are beyond beautiful and I can't wait for our guests to get them in the mail! Simply elegant!
S. Jones
Thank you very much for the great work you did on the wine bottle engraving. It came out great and was done in a timely manner. Thank you very much for your help - will definitely come to you in the future. Thanks!
M. Williger
Janet engraved a wine bottle that I used to propose to my girlfriend. She was very nice and easy to work with, and the bottle came out great. I would recommend her work to anyone.
Matt G.
I thought the envelopes looked immaculate and beautifully done. Thanks again for the quick turn around time and working with us when the invites went from being late to being early! I highly recommend Bella Grafia and would use them again.

Made anniversary gift that was special even more beautiful. Exactly what we wanted. Thank you.
J. Campbell
I contacted Janet during the Christmas break and even though she was on vacation she still took time to respond to my email. The poem that she did for us is beautiful and exactly what was envisioned. I highly recommend Janet for any projects where you need that extra flare.
J. Morris
Janet was great! She did a beautiful job on my invitations.
Michelle C.
My job would be displayed in a bathroom mirror, so it needed to be a mirror image of the original calligraphy, but would be on permanent display, framed and matted, so it needed to look hand drawn and elegant.
We love the way this turned out. She has a lovely hand and pairs it with professional technology to give us exactly what we hoped for.
Laura R.
Thank you so much for the quick turn around and beautiful work, I really appreciate it. I have already framed your calligraphy and it's now hanging in our entryway. I will share a pic shortly. Thanks!!! :)
Tanj K.
The invitations were beautiful. The service was totally professional and timely at all times.

Excellent service! Very pleased with their job!
