My husband and I used Elite Calligraphy for our New Year's Eve wedding this year. Genie provided us with customized calligraphy for our wedding invitations and also designed our wedding programs and place cards. Her pricing is very reasonable and result very high end. She is very organized and very responsive to emails/phone calls etc. Genie has an incredible sense of design and created beautiful products for us, we couldn't have been happier with the end results! My husband and I were originally going to take on the programs on our own but I got sick a week before the wedding and had to scrap the project. At the last minute Genie was kind enough to do the programs for us, and the end result was nothing short of stunning and elegant. We are still getting compliments about them. Genie went above and beyond to make us happy on our wedding day, and we couldn't be more thankful for all her hard work. read more

It is with great pride and pleasure that I recommend Genie Melkonian. I have known Mrs. Melkonian for 3 years. My husband and I needed someone who was both conscientious and personable for our wedding stationery needs. Having a large family, it was imperative to find someone reliable as well. Genie was all of this and more. We were fortunate to have received our stationery as promised in order to send them off with strict time constraints. Not only had Genie listened to my needs, she guided me on stationery etiquette that only a well-practiced wedding expert can, and should be able to do. I was very lucky to have found her. (If only she did photography as well! We could have used her there!) I strongly and sincerely recommend Genie for your wedding. I think her qualities would perfectly match your requirements for all your bridal stationery service needs. read more

I recently had the experience of looking for someone to address a few envelopes for a wedding invitation. I had 4 invitations that had not been addressed due to my own mistake. I was panicked because I was running out of time, and the invitations had to be sent out in a couple of days. I'm very fussy and very hard yo please. So off to the internet I went, and after looking at many many samples of printing, I finally found Genie at Elite Calligraphy. Genie said that she would help me out. Well, after seeing her work I had her do all the place cards and all of the programs. Genie is a perfectionist and uses quality products. My daughter and I were more than satisfied with her work and I would use her again and again. It's so nice to have found someone that you can trust to do a great finished product. I highly recommend Elite Calligraphy, Fran read more

Genie provided services for my daughter's wedding in June 2014. The quality of her work is outstanding, and her ability to understand clients' vision and budget makes the process very enjoyable during what can be an otherwise stressful planning time. She is responsive to questions and emails and details all costs and options upfront as well as making sure all spelling, addresses, etc are 100% accurate. The finished work (envelopes, menus and placement cards) were quite beautiful. The cost for her services is very reasonable. I found Genie's experience and knowledge of event needs most helpful, especially in matters of etiquette. She does not try to upsell as many vendors do, rather, she concentrates on exactly what you need, offering help and assistance every step of the way. read more

Elite Calligraphy was recommended to me from a friend who used their envelope addressing services for her wedding. I was a little hesitant because we hadn't budgeted for a calligrapher. After the price quote we received for around 75 invitations and meeting with Genie, we were pleasantly surprised! Genie is a professional, detail-oriented woman who took the time to answer all our questions, gave us suggestions when we asked and was very responsive to my emails if I had questions after our meeting. It was one less detail in the wedding-planning process that we didn't have to worry about. Our envelopes came out perfect! We even went back to Elite for our personalized table numbers! I would highly recommend contacting Elite Calligraphy for your printing & calligraphy needs. read more

I was stumped on what to do about our wedding invites. I really did not want to pay for a calligrapher but I also wanted our invites to look nice. A few Google searches later I came across Elite Calligraphy and was blown away. I met with Genie in person seeing as we coincidentally lived near one another (though I am sure interacting online would have been just as painless). She made the whole process so easy! She showed me tons of beautiful fonts, which made choosing a style a breeze. Within just a few short weeks we had our invites back with all of the names and addresses printed beautifully. Not to mention, the price was so reasonable for such quality work. Thank you Genie! read more

Genie was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. The digital calligraphy came out beautifully for our invite envelops and she had a very fast turn around time. She gave me great tips on invitation assembly and was very knowledgeable and professional. In very short notice (within a week of leaving for the wedding), I also went back to Elite Calligraphy for escort cards. Genie was excellent - she detailed out costs, we worked through indicating meal choices on escort cards in a elegant way, and tying in our wedding theme. Again, she quickly produced cards and we met for product hand off. They were perfect! I would highly recommend Elite Calligraphy! read more

I worked with Genie in the fall of 2011 as I was preparing to get married. I initially contacted Genie for calligraphy services for the inner and outer envelopes for my wedding invites. Genie was always well prepared for our meetings, she had a myriad of examples of her work and was very consultative in helping me find the best writing style to match my invitations. I was under a tight timeline and she was able to meet and or exceed all deadlines. I was so happy with the output that I had her create the place cards for my guests as well. Genie is professional and an expert in her field and I highly recommend her services! read more

I wanted to present the men in our family a copy of my son's award winning VFW essay for Christmas. Genie couldn't have been more accomadating-managing to create not one but three 16x20 calligraphy editions in less than 1 month's time. Her cost was more than fair and, after viewing the finished products, I consider an absolute steal. She is very personable, upbeat, creative and proffessional. I highly recommend her services and look forward to retaining them myself again when my son graduates. read more

Genie from Elite Caligraphy was a delight to work with. We had envelopes done for my daughters' B'nei Mitzvah.

Genie was always prompt to respond and when we had last minute changes, she was very accommodating.

I was married May 21st and had Elite Calligraphy print my invitation addresses, place cards and escort cards. They did an incredible job. My friend who hired a calligrapher to do hers didn't look half as good as mine- and mine were much cheaper!! I got the "fiona" font and it was beautiful! Genie (the owner) was a pleasure to work with, she was so good at answering all of my emails promptly and the work was done very quickly as well. Highly recommended! read more

I needed a calligrapher for my daughter's wedding as our original calligrapher had to cancel. Time was an issue. It was just luck that I found Elite Calligraphy and Genie Melkonian. Everything went as smooth as glass in spite of the fact that they had lost power due to the freak October snow storm! In this economy ,it seems to make sense to do the computerized calligraphy. All the work looked beautiful and Genie is wonderful to work with. read more
