Luxury Wedding & Event Calligraphy
Nice to meet you! I'm Emily Fournier, a calligrapher and engraver based out of Denver, Colorado. I specialize in wedding calligraphy (including signage & day-of details) and live, on-site event calligraphy and engraving for luxury events and brand activations.
Wedding Calligraphy

I love celebrating life's moments big and small. Whether you're commissioning a custom quote on paper, looking for non-standard placecards for an event, or a unique gift, let's work together to make something beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is working with you like?
Once you complete my contact form, I’ll reach out with additional information, pricing, and questions. If it’s a good fit on both sides, we’ll dive into all the details so I can learn more about you, your event, and your style. From there, your vision becomes my vision! I pride myself on creating end products that you and your guests will love.
Do you only work with companies and couples in Colorado?
No! While I love serving my community as a Colorado calligrapher, I’m thrilled when I get the chance to connect across state or country lines. For on-site calligraphy & engraving events out of state, travel can be arranged. For in-studio orders, I offer shipping for most items (envelopes, placecards, custom orders, etc). At this time, I only offer local pickup and dropoff for mirror seating charts and large signage.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is based on a number of factors and will change based on your specific needs.

What calligraphy styles do you offer?
I specialize in two main calligraphy types: Copperplate and modern script. Copperplate is one of the most recognized scripts and oozes elegance and formality. Modern calligraphy is individualized to the calligrapher, and is often characterized by a more playful style. Offering both styles allows me to cater my work to a variety of clients, couples, and styles!
What is calligraphy? Is it the same as cursive?
This is a very common question! Cursive and calligraphy are very different. In short, cursive is used to write quickly and legibly. On the other hand, calligraphy’s goal is to create beautiful, eye-catching artwork. It’s not a stylized cursive – in fact, calligraphy requires you to lift your pen often to “draw” letters using specific strokes. Calligraphy requires years of experience, practice, and training to produce elegant works of art.
