Cornelia Studer Kalligrafie

Cornelia Studer's own site splits into 2 practices that share nothing but her name and her homepage menu. One is the calligraphy studio the "Kalligrafie" page describes: hand-lettered stationery, corporate lettering, personal gifts. The other is a meditation and coaching practice she introduces on her About page under the heading "Raum für mehr, mediale Lichtarbeit" (space for more, channelled light work), describing individual sessions built around what she calls channelled light work, love and meditation. It gets its own page and its own inbox, coaching@corneliastuder.ch, kept apart from the kalligrafie@corneliastuder.ch address that runs everywhere else on the site. Neither practice pretends to be the other. For a couple hiring her to letter wedding stationery, the useful takeaway isn't the meditation work itself, it's what running a second discipline alongside the first tells you about scale: a single working week split between paper and people, not a studio staffed to turn wedding orders around in parallel.

The stationery side, the one that matters here, is organised into 5 tagged categories rather than a single wedding page. The "Hochzeiten" tag is specific about what it covers: individual invitation cards, table cards and menu cards, all described as handwritten. Nothing on the site mentions printing, foil, letterpress or digital reproduction at any point, for weddings or otherwise; every category repeats some version of "Jedes Werk entsteht von Hand," every piece made by hand. That's a real distinction worth taking at face value rather than reading generously into it: this is a calligrapher producing individual lettered pieces, not a stationer who designs a suite and sends it to a printer. If a couple wants printed invitations with hand-lettered accents, or a hand-lettered master reproduced at scale, the site gives no indication either is on offer. It describes handwriting, full stop.

What "Hochzeiten" actually promises, and what it doesn't

The wedding tag's own copy names exactly 3 products: invitation cards, table cards and menu cards. It says nothing about save-the-dates, seating charts, welcome signage, vow books or envelope addressing, so none of those should be assumed even though they're common calligraphy commissions elsewhere. A separate tag, "Namenskarten," covers handwritten name tags, place cards and general event lettering, filed as its own category rather than folded into the wedding one. It plainly overlaps with what a wedding reception table needs, but Studer's site treats it as a distinct product line rather than a wedding add-on, so a couple should ask directly whether it's meant to sit alongside the Hochzeiten pieces or cover part of the same order.

Every category on the Kalligrafie page uses the word "individuelle," individual or custom, rather than describing any kind of pre-designed range or template collection. There's no gallery of set designs to choose from and no language anywhere about tiers or packages. That reads as a fully bespoke practice: a couple would be commissioning original lettering built around their own wording and materials, not selecting from a catalogue.

What the site doesn't publish

None of the practical numbers a couple needs before committing appear anywhere on the 7 pages that make up this site. There's no price list, no minimum order quantity, no stated lead time from brief to delivery, and no description of what a proof or a revision round costs or how many rounds are included. That's consistent across the whole site, not a gap on one page: the Kalligrafie page that lists every service never quotes a figure, and there's no separate pricing or FAQ page in the sitemap to check instead. A couple has to raise all of this directly rather than budgeting from anything published, which is worth saying plainly rather than guessing at what a solo Swiss calligrapher might typically charge.

Language is another open question

The site itself is German only. Its markup declares German-Switzerland as the page language, there's no English toggle in the navigation and no alternate-language version linked anywhere. That tells a couple what to expect from the website, not necessarily from the working process itself: hand lettering reproduces whatever text a client supplies, in any language, and nothing on the site says whether Studer runs enquiries, quotes or the day-to-day back and forth in English. A foreign or destination couple should ask directly rather than assume either way. The safe reading is that the public-facing material is German-only and everything past that first email is unconfirmed.

A client list bigger than the wedding tag suggests

Below the wedding, corporate, invitation, name-card and gift tags sits a "Firmenkunden" (corporate clients) section carrying a scrolling logo carousel of 10 client marks. Several are recognisable fashion and luxury names, Dior, Gucci, Prada, Tod's, Jimmy Choo and Akris among them, alongside the Swiss jeweller Gübelin and Zurich Airport. The site gives no caption or case study explaining any of these relationships, so there's no further detail to pass on beyond the logos themselves, but their presence is a useful signal for a couple weighing a solo calligrapher against a larger stationery studio: this is someone whose hand-lettering has already been commissioned by brands well outside the wedding market, even if the wedding tag itself reads as one line among several rather than the centre of the business.

Contact runs through an Impressum listing a Gunzgen address, postal code 4617, and a mobile number, plus the 2 separate email inboxes already noted for calligraphy and coaching work. A third address, s.cornelia@bluewin.ch, appears on the dedicated Kontakt page as well. Studer also points visitors to Instagram, @corneliastuder, for anything newer than the site itself, and the site's own closing note on the Kalligrafie page teases future work, among them bags, postcards, one-off agenda pieces and lettering drawn from the Engadin, that isn't offered yet.

None of this reads like a business built around volume. A couple choosing Cornelia Studer for wedding lettering is choosing a single person who also spends part of her week guiding meditation sessions under a different email address, working from a bespoke brief rather than a set menu, and publishing nothing about what any of it costs or how long it takes. That's a fair trade if what a couple wants is hand-lettered, one-off pieces rather than a scalable stationery order, and it's worth knowing before the first message goes out rather than after.
