Recommendations please! Calligrapher Needed

I just googled 'calligraphers in NY' and found a list of numbers. I called about 10 different people and only 1 person actually answered.

Can anyone please recommend a calligrapher.
I want hand calligraphy. TIA

ETA:I posted this on Vendors Helping Brides already and haven't gotten any resonses yet.

I didn't use one. I did the invitations myself for the envelopes but I kept someone in mind. I got my invitations at Sweet Nut Hut and if I couldn't do the envelopes myself I was going to use the caligrapher there. The store is located in Babylon. Not sure if that is too far for you.

Thank you for your suggestion. It's about an hour away. Would you happen to know what they charge for inner and outter envolopes?

I got info from some girls about a woman in staten island. you can mail your envelopes to her. I don't know if you are comfortable with that. I haven't contacted this woman, but I was told she was only $1 for outer and maybe $.25-50 for inner.

I also contacted EZ calligraphy. They are $2 for outer and a little less for inner. They also reduce the price if you get invites from them.

I think she charged $1.50 an envelope. Thats including for both inner and outter. So it would be $1.50 for the inner and outter together.

I was quoted $3.45 for outter and $1.00 for inner for up to 75 invites. Any more they give an additional 10% discount. (this is a Westchester vendor)

my FSIL is doing ours for free. if you wanted to see how they come out and possibly have her do them, i bet she'd do it really cheap.

if you're interested let me know, and i'll email you pics when i get them back from her.

Michelle Clark is popular on here. She's the one in Staten Island. I think she's $1.75 per set.

Another popular calligrapher on here is Wendy Trout.....she did mine and she did a GORGEOUS job. Just beautiful. She's $1.50 per set.

If you do a search on both you'll find great reviews.

Why is it soooo expensive for hand calligraphy?!?!? 200 invites X $4.00 = $800 That is just insane!
