What People Are Saying

“We asked Kate to write our wedding poem in a flourished style calligraphy to celebrate our first anniversary (paper!). The process is really easy from start to finish and Kate understood our requirements so well that the first review of the layout was perfect with no amends needed. Two days later we had the finished piece and we couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to find its rightly place in our home. We would highly recommend Olive & Reid.”

— Phil Rimmer

“Beautiful calligraphy for my wedding invites. We received so many compliments! I loved the work so much I went back to get my place cards done too! Would highly recommend”

— Sanam Tyrrell

“Kate was simply an amazing find. I decided on instinct to go with her without shopping around and I'm so glad that I did. Creative, attentive, honestly priced, thoughtful, Kate invests time in deeply understanding your brief, and proposing options until you are comfortable. She then delivers exactly what was agreed. Go with Kate, you will be delighted that you did.”
