FAQs

On-site calligraphy and engraving is a live personalization service where I customize items in real time at your event—like engraving perfume bottles or embossing luggage tags. It’s a memorable experience and a custom keepsake rolled into one. I serve Raleigh, NC and surrounding areas.
-
This service is perfect for brand activations, corporate events, PR launches, private parties, and weddings. Whether you're planning a large corporate event or a small private celebration, live engraving and calligraphy adds a personalized, luxury touch your guests will remember.

I can engrave on glass, metal, and some plastics—popular choices include wine and liquor bottles, cosmetics, fragrance bottles, and drinkware. I also offer live calligraphy on paper goods, leather, wood, and slate. If you're looking for a live engraver near you in Raleigh, I’d be happy to help determine if your items are a good fit!
-
Usually, the host or brand provides the items for me to personalize. However I do keep a select few items stocked in bulk and would be happy to provide a custom quote if you’re looking for an all-inclusive service.
Need help sourcing items for your Raleigh-area event? I can assist with that too!

Most engravings or calligraphy pieces take 2–5 minutes each. I’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your guest count and event flow, and I can tailor the designs to keep things efficient without sacrificing style.
-
Just a small table and chair! My engraving equipment is wireless and an outlet is only needed if embossing or wood burning is involved. Otherwise, I bring all the tools and supplies needed to set up a polished, professional station.
-
Yes! I happily travel for events throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and beyond. Travel fees apply for locations more than 30 miles outside of Raleigh, NC.
