FAQs

GENERAL

  • I love to travel and meet new people! My live event kit is easily transportable and TSA friendly.

    Travel fees apply.

  • Unless specified, I do not source or supply anything and typically require my clients to provide me with their items.

    I will supply everything needed for me to complete the job - ink, tools, etc.

    COMING SOON - I will soon be opening a shop where I have a selection of pre-stocked items ready to order.

  • First, we'll iron out the details to get you an accurate quote. For estimates over $200, I require a 50% deposit to be booked. For estimates under $200, full payment is due upfront. A signed contract is always required.

COMMISSIONS

  • Yes! Wherever you are in the USA, you can ship your items to me to be personalized and shipped back. Shipping fees apply.

    Liquor cannot be shipped and is therefore only available for local pickup.

  • Leave enough room for a 2 week turnaround - if my schedule is heavy or you have a large order it may be longer and I will let you know in that case.

    I am happy to expedite your order for a rush fee of 50% to 100% (depending on order size and requested delivery date).

  • Yes! All orders* include a sketched draft to be sent for approval prior to engraving. As your artist I want to be sure that you love your item!

    *Bulk orders will not include drafts because that would be too time-consuming for the both of us. I am able to create samples prior to booking upon request.

  • Every inquiry is different and therefore will have a different price. Using the contact form will help me give you an accurate quote.

    However, here are some starting prices:

    Calligraphy:
    Discussion needed

    Engraving:
    Starts at $25 per item, up to 3 words

    Price varies and could increase depending on:

    • size of items

    • complexity of surface

    • value of items

    • # of words

    • special designs or styles

LIVE EVENTS

  • I require my clients to supply me with a table and chair. That's it! (Oh, and the items to be personalized of course)

    No outlet is required. The engraving drill is easily portable and battery-powered. I will supply all the tools needed to create a memorable event for your guests.

  • This is totally dependent on the type of item, length of phrase, designs, and number of guests.

    If you need help calculating how your guest count will work with a live event artist, contact me! I may suggest that you allow me to hire additional calligraphers to ensure every guest has a fair chance of receiving an item.

  • These rates are for 2024 and will be increasing in 2025. If you are inquiring for a 2025 event but book before the end of 2024, the 2024 rates will be honored.

    1-4 hours:
    $700 + tax

    5+ hours:
