what makes an event meaningful? the people.

and what better way to celebrate the people who bring meaning to your event by giving back to those people? 

poetry is for everyone,
and your guests are no exception. 

let's create an atmosphere of intimacy and show the people who make celebrations worth celebrating just how special they are.

Are you looking for something else?

01 | Do you travel?

while i'm primarily located in the Hudson Valley of NY, i'm happy to travel anywhere to offer poetry to your favorite people. Travel within a 70-mile radius is included in all packages; anything beyond this requires additional travel fees + potential accommodations. 

02 | can we add-on additional services?

of course! if there's anything you'd like to include, but you don't see it as part of a package, please ask! add-ons may include the following:
+ additional writing hours - $500/hour
+ keepsake book of event poems - $450
+ poetry reading/performance - $350
+ custom vow writing - $1200
+ honorarium poems for special guests - $300/poem

03 | do you work with non-profits?

i love supporting causes, art, and movements that align with the values of The Sweet Slow!

if your non-profit it planning an event and feels live typewriter poetry would be a beautiful addition, please email me to start a conversation!

04 | do you bring other poets with you?

there are lots of talented poets creating words for people, but i do work alone! my approach is an intuitive offering and is far beyond a form of entertainment. the poetry - and delivery of it - is a sacred expression. for that reason, i'll continue working solo (with the exception of a possible assistant, depending on the event!)

05 | how many poems can you write?

i can write an average of 10-15 poems per hour. each guest is welcome to submit a poem request card to receive a custom poem after your event, if they haven't already received one in-person. depending on package selection, i also provide a pre-written (or custom to the event) poem for each guest to take home
