How can calligraphy services enhance my event?

Calligraphy isn’t just about beautiful writing — it’s about how a moment feels when someone sees their name, a message, or a detail created just for them. It’s often the first thing guests interact with, and one of the few details they pause long enough to truly notice.

I approach calligraphy with that in mind. Every piece is created to feel thoughtful, cohesive, and aligned with the experience you’re trying to create — not rushed, not generic, and never treated as an afterthought.

And I know you’re thinking about how everything fits together — the flow, the tone, the small touches that quietly elevate the whole event. That’s why I take time to understand your vision and guide decisions that make sense for your space, your guests, and the atmosphere you want to set.

My goal is for the calligraphy to feel effortless on your end, and meaningful on theirs.

 Notes of praise from my clients

It was such a pleasure working with Jessica! She made the entire process so seamless and easy. The notebooks she did for a company gift came out beautiful! I will definitely be using her for all personalization and calligraphy moving forward for work and personal needs. Highly recommend!

Jessica performed calligraphy services for a 3-day corporate event and everyone had a fantastic time! All employees were happy and the ease to book a team was greatly appreciated! Would recommend Alcove for any corporate or company events!

We worked with Jessica to complete several calligraphy cards on Cartier card stock. The end result was stunning and we are already discussing ongoing client appreciation and private event projects.

Commonly Asked Questions (+ Answers!)

  • Timing depends on the length of the name or message. On average, each card takes about 3–5 minutes. If I’m using a dip pen, the ink needs a moment to dry, but I always bring a small fan to help speed things up.

  • Paper, leather, metal, plastic/acrylic, ornaments, wooden items, wine or champagne bottles, and more. If you have a specific item in mind, you can send a photo—or even better, a sample—for testing.

  • Just the items to be personalized, plus a table and chair. I bring all materials and typically do not need an outlet. Forms and table signage are included unless you choose to provide your own.

  • Corporate events, luxury retail activations, private events, galas, tradeshows, and entertainment industry events (sports, music, TV, podcasts).

  • On-site events are offered as half-day (up to 4 hours) or full-day (up to 8 hours) bookings, with quotes customized to your needs. Quotes include parking, travel, materials, insurance, forms, and informational signage.

    For in-studio work, pricing depends on item quantity and your timeline.

  • For events with 150+ guests, high guest flow, or when you want to minimize wait times, additional artists ensure smoother lines and a better experience for everyone.

    Assistants are ideal for high-volume events or when you want a very smooth flow. They handle forms, guide guests, organize completed items, and support efficiency.

  • Absolutely! Travel fees may include time, flights, hotel, meal stipends, and transportation.

  • In-studio work is perfect for projects that don’t require live, on-site personalization. This includes calligraphy on place cards or escort cards, engraving on small batches of gifts, hot foiling, bottle painting, wood burning, signage, packaging personalization, and seasonal gifting projects.
