Dear Don, Thank you very much for your calligraphy services! Your work was beautiful - I could tell that it was carefully and thoughtfully done. I also really appreciate your excellent customer service - you were extremely helpful, pleasant, and accomodating through out the transaction. Thank you again - I will be sure to recommend you to my friends and family! E. Qualls -Princeton WV 2/24/08

Just wanted to thank you for helping us out last month with our Baldessarini engraving event! You were so fun to work with and did such a wonderful job. I can't wait to work with you again. Than you again for your delightful help.

Your engraving done on the wedding wine bottles was beautiful and I am in the wine distribution business. I can't believe you did them by hand! I am going to give your name to our manager and have you attend a wine tasting event and engrave bottles for us.


The box arrived this afternoon. What can I say -- they are so beautiful!!! It's hard to believe you do that free hand. Do you use one of those off-set pens? And dip it in the ink or is it refillable? I looked up Spencerian on line. The whole subject is something I confess I never gave much thought to, but since I love history, found it all very interested. Thank you for exposing me to this beautiful art and for a job well done. Jennifer Cathey, Bryan, TX

You have done our work for almost all of our brides for several years... what can I say? You're the best! You've never missed a deadline and are in a class of your own.

It was really great meeting you yesterday! I was really impressed with your work and am looking forward to having you visit my Typography class this fall. I showed the Spencerian and Spencerian Copperplate to the bride and she loved them both. I am guessing yours will be a mixture of sorts. Go ahead and start addressing the envelopes.

I am happy to sing your praises with Ellie (a wedding stationary store). You were such a pleasure to work with and very prompt on turn around!

You have been a pleasure to work with!

I gave your name to my stationary store and told them to drop that other calligrapher and start using you. Hopefully, you will get some business!

Thank you so much for sending the envelopes so quickly. They were waiting for us when we got home Sunday. We love the look of them! The style is great and the lettering is beautiful.

Thank you for the beautiful job you did on our invitations. The writing was beautiful! What talent! Thank you.


We have used Ron Tate for several years helping us with our Department of Public Safety's Annual Award Banquet. Each year we recognize over 100 individuals. Ron helps us by inscribing the names of recipients onto the awards we present. Because of Ron's skill and help, we are able to present a high quality professional award the employees can be proud of.

It is our privilege and honor to recommend Ron Tate for your consideration.

I have worked with Ron Tate for the past seven years. He does a remarkable job on calligraphy.

Not only does he do a great job for our office, but a great service for the people of Utah. I am very impressed with the job he does on our Heritage Birth Certificates, and issue them to the people of Utah with pride.

I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you for your efforts on behalf of the 1997 Inauguration. The ceremonies were truly memorable. Again, thank you for your contribution and a job well done.

Thank you for everything you did for us, especially at the last minute! The guest cards looked beautiful.

We will certainly recommend you. Please also feel free to use Tom and I as a reference, should you ever need to for any of your prospective clients.

Thank you for doing such a great job and ASAP!

Thank you for making our Christmas cards so special this Christmas past.

Friend, Mentor, and calligrapher Extraordinaire,
Thank you for your work. Someday, I hope to call you 'Colleague' after I make the grade and enter the Spencerian World. I hope not to disappoint you. I am practicing daily and will call when my progress is worth of your time.

Thanks so much for all of your help with my invitations and place cards. Your work was absolutely beautiful and added a wonderful touch to our wedding.

Merry Christmas


Just a note to let you know that Julie's wedding invitation, and two envelopes, is the most gorgeous I have ever seen! WOW.

I want to frame the invitation and envelopes what great art work! You are so talented.

I just wanted to thank you, again for the book. It turned out absolutely beautiful! I really admire your work and appreciate so much the time you put into it, it's lovely!
