Custom Poetry for Life's Sacred Moments
Poetry can bless a room, hold a memory, and gather people into a shared breath. Let's create words that honor your milestone and the people you love.
What I offer
From intimate gatherings to large-scale programs, I craft original poems, speeches, and scripts that reflect the intention behind your event. Each piece is rooted in attentive listening and collaborative storytelling.
Occasions include
- Weddings, vow renewals, and anniversary celebrations
- Funerals, celebrations of life, and memorial tributes
- Birthdays, baby showers, and coming-of-age moments
- Graduations, retirements, and professional milestones
- Community, nonprofit, and corporate gatherings
How it works
Discovery call
We begin with a conversation about your event, the people we're honoring, and the emotional tone you want to set. This can happen by phone, video, or a thoughtful questionnaire.
Collaborative drafting
After gathering your stories, I draft a piece that reflects your voice and values. We review together, invite edits, and ensure the language feels aligned with your intentions.
Delivery & support
You'll receive a polished written piece, along with optional performance notes and a recorded read-through so you can feel confident bringing the words into the room.
Investment
Custom commissions begin at $350 and vary based on length, turnaround time, and performance requests. Sliding scale pricing is available for community-centered events and mutual aid projects.
What you receive
- Original poem or speech tailored to your event
- Two rounds of collaborative revisions
- Optional audio recording and performance coaching tips
- Print-ready and digital copies for sharing with loved ones
