Kate Hilderbrandt Custom Poetry

Bring the magic of live, custom poetry to your wedding or event! Each poem is inspired by the customer, typed live on a vintage typewriter and read out loud (if desired) when completed. It’s a unique experience and guests get a memory they can take home to keep! I can add a custom wedding stamp that you also get to keep or you can provide your own if you'd like. Pricing varies depending on number of guests, size of venue, and hours.

My favorite part of writing on the spot, custom poetry, is the connection with the person or people for whom I am writing. I say it's kind of like a tarot or palm reading, but in metaphors and alliteration. I love being a person you can trust with your story, your moment, your memory, and then mirroring it back to you as a beautiful poem. As a writer, my poetry has been published in Harness Magazine, Young Ignorantes Magazine, and Girl God Books. I have two published books of poetry, I Carry a Flood and Becoming Good. I have experience doing custom poetry as a busker in Decatur Square, at artists markets and events around Atlanta.
