FAQs about live event calligraphy

  • As a calligrapher, I am able to give a personal touch to each item that I customize. Most people love to get something that is personalized just for them. Whether it’s with their name, their social media handle, or their nickname, and they get a thrill from watching a professional make it permanent for them on an item that they get to take home. 

    In the digital days we live in, it is always uniquely special to receive something handwritten in beautiful calligraphy.

  • I am one of Denver’s most experienced calligraphers! I have been doing calligraphy professionally for over 12 years and have honed my craft so that it is second nature. I have also been doing calligraphy for live events for 10 years. I still get excited for each inquiry and event that I am lucky enough to participate in. I also have a long history in customer service so I bring a unique level of approachable energy to your event.

  • If you can think of it, I can probably do calligraphy on it! I have expertise in pen and ink calligraphy as well as engraving, hot foiling, and wood burning. I am happy to brainstorm with you to think of unique and special favors for your guests to go home with, or if you have an item you want to use, I can give you ideas on the best way to personalize those items. 

  • Depending on the type of item that we are working with, I can do up to 40 in one hour. I like to add in time for answering questions from guests as well as making sure the calligraphy is beautiful and perfect for everyone. If you are expecting more people for your event than I can handle, I am happy to loop in other calligraphers in the area to tackle your event with a team! 

  • Each event comes with its unique set of factors. You have a different layout to the space, a different type of guest attending, and a different guest count you are expecting. I am well versed in how to handle all of these challenges. With a smaller crowd, I am able to engage in individual conversations with your guests as I personalize their item. With a busier event, I want the focus to be on getting the guests their items so I streamline things by coming with custom personalization forms to keep people moving through and being able to help the most amount of people. Guests are able to fill out a form and come back for their personalized item when they are ready to go. These forms can double as lead forms for you as well! Whatever the nature of your event is, I can adapt and make sure they guests receive something special.
