How to Make Your Wedding or Event Poetic:
the Poetic Experience for Weddings + Events
I ask pointed questions.
I listen for themes in your story.
I capture your story as a poetic reflection.
Curious What’s Included?
1) Your own private Couple’s Experience:
I interview you as the couple for about 20 minutes to hear your story of how you met, what you value in each other, etc. This is captured in advance of the wedding, laser engraved onto wood, and presented on your special day.
2) Guests enjoy their own Poetic Experiences during the wedding:
I ask guests about their lives, what matters to them, and discover who they are. I then craft their custom poems on an antique typewriter. It’s part unique wedding entertainment, part interactive experience.
3) the Poet’s Desk: Antique Booth Rental
Included are the antique items which make up the Poet’s Desk. Rustic table, cigar box paper holder, and 100-year-old typewriter are just a few. Watching a typewriter poet at his quaint setup live at work offers memorable entertainment for weddings of any size.
