Live Typewriter Poetry for Weddings
Your guests sit down with a poet. They talk for a few minutes. Then they watch as a custom poem, written about them and for them, is typed live on a vintage manual typewriter and read aloud to them.
What your guests experience
During cocktail hour or the reception, each guest approaches the typewriter table. There are no pre-written verses, no templates, no digital tools. A brief conversation, usually three or four questions, is all it takes. The poem is composed and typed in real time on archival paper with archival ink that will not fade.
Guests leave with something they did not expect: a bespoke work of art that memorializes your event far better than any other party favor ever could.
