Stewart Thomas notes: I've been creating marriage certificates, custom wedding invitations, and countless other calligraphic works for over 25 years, but I've only now decided to post some of the thank you's. Here are a few from the last year: 2003, 2004, and 2005 ::

"The Ketubah came--I am so happy--and it is so beautiful its breathtaking, and I can't thank you enough for the beautiful invitations and this unbelievable ketubah. And I love the fish because I love koi. So, I just don't know what to tell you--it is so beautiful. Thank you so so much."

We receive the certificate yesterday and it is stunning! Your work is even more impressive in person. I can't believe you were able to complete that in such a short time. Thanks!

S.W. - Washington

I just love it!! I'll send the check right away!!

L.A. - Maryland

We can't believe how exquisite the certificate turned out. It's beautiful. The movement created by the design's asymmetry, the strong balance, the way you integrated our requests--we were moved to tears upon seeing it for the first time.

I received the certificate today in fine shape and couldn't resist a peek at
it. It looks so cool! I know C. will be pleased, too. Also, a few people have asked me who we used for our certificate, so don't be surprised if you get more Philadelphia business.
