Your guests mean the world to you. Why not thank them in a unique and wonderfully surprising way? You can - with a personalised poem, crafted for them during your drinks reception, later in the evening, or even at the Day Two celebration! I craft typewritten poems on the spot, based on whatever topics your guests give me to write about. In just a few minutes, they have a wonderful take-home keepsake as a wedding favour from you to them.
I bring typewriters, personalised A5 sheets of paper (with your wedding monogram at the top), and envelopes, with options to tailor my display to match your decor, colours, and theme. Rest assured your guests will receive a poem specially crafted just for them - all I need is a short time with them, a few details, and its sorted - a unique poem in minutes.
Packages range from simple to deluxe to fit your budget. Watch my videos and send me a message to learn more and book me for your wedding!

Jeff was wonderful as a typewriter poet at our wedding! He was prompt, communicative and very professional in the lead-up to the event. Our guests raved about the poems he created for them - it was very memorable for everyone! We really appreciated how he made the long trip to our venue and

I am so happy we chose to have Jeff participate in our wedding. The poems he produced were incredibly meaningful and such a special touch for our guests during happy hour. A few of our guests chose poems to give to us as gifts and they are such a wonderful reminder of our wedding day.

Carli, thanks for your review. The love of both families was so clear and I loved hearing all the stories from your guests. All the best for a great start to married life!

Jeff,
Just coming down after a mammoth few days! The come down is real! 😅
Just wanted to say the biggest heartfelt thank you for your part to play in our wedding.
Everyone adored it.
I was so honoured to have you there and so glad we picked you as our guest entertainment, it really was the most magical special touch for our guests.
A standout moment for the whole day is you presenting us with your poem for us about Brett’s speech, it couldn’t have been more perfect and it is a keepsake we will cherish forever.
You’re the man with the words, and a thank you will never be enough but we think what you do is extraordinary and your talent is endless.
I’ll be recommending you to all future brides!
Thanks again,
Jess & Brett

Jess, what a special celebration you had! I was honoured to take part and craft the poem for you and Brett - especially seeing him read it aloud to you. Your love for creativity and trust in your vendor team was inspiring. Thanks again.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeff, the poet, for our Primark event and it was such a fun and unique activation! Guests absolutely loved the experience, and the best part was that everyone walked away with a personalised keepsake poem to remember the day. Jeff brought incredible energy, creativity, and warmth, making the activation truly stand out. Highly recommend him for any event looking for something memorable and engaging!
Response from Jeff Stanford Typewriter Poet
Saffron, thank you for the opportunity to take part in this event. I had a great time at Primark HQ and some wonderful conversations with your guests!

Jeff really is an incredible service to have at your wedding. It’s different, you won’t see it done at many weddings which was something we really wanted something more original. My goodness though guests still talk about their poems and I love seeing the poems in our guests houses, they were incredibly crafted! Jeff was a pleasure to deal with and everything ran so smoothly! Everyone should book.

Louise, I had a great time meeting so many of your friends at the drinks reception. And everyone looking well in their black-tie attire! Thanks for having me as part of your celebration.

Adding Jeff’s services to our wedding left our guests with such a great personal touch. Instead of wedding favors that are typically left behind, his poems were taken with joy and have already been framed in many of our guests homes.
Response from Jeff Stanford Typewriter Poet
Kaitlin, thank you very much. This was such a special day, especially the chance to craft a special poem for Dale to read to Austin before the ceremony. Everyone was so warm and happy to be there - what a special family you have.

We hired Jeff as a typewriter poet for our wedding reception during the drinks hour, and we can honestly say he was one of the highlights of the day. Our guests have not stopped talking about him and the beautiful, personal poems he wrote on the spot. He brought such a great vintage and creative charm to the reception, and it was so fun to see the poems take shape right in front of us.
Jeff added a really thoughtful and welcoming presence to the atmosphere. He connected so easily with our guests, and people were genuinely excited to interact with him and take home something meaningful.
We really can’t thank him enough for giving everyone something so personal to keep, and for creating such a memorable experience.

We are so glad that we booked Jeff for our wedding reception. He added something extra special to the evening. All of his poetry was a big hit at the event. Our wedding had a lot of international guests, and their individualized poems were a souvenir for them to bring back. A bunch of them are planning on framing them. Jeff was very professional and accommodating. All of his poems were super high quality and with a personal touch.

I had a wonderful time at your reception! It was great to meet your family and friends and the Republic of Grill staff too. Wishing you the very best - Jeff

Jeff was a joy to work with and a total professional from start to finish. He provided about 30 lovely poems at our wedding (on customised paper and envelopes)which many friends and family really enjoyed. His personality, style and typewriter clacking also greatly added to the atmosphere of the day. I would highly recommend Jeff for your event.
Response from Jeff Stanford Typewriter Poet
Aoife, thank you so much, It was an honour to be at your wedding and spend time with so many of your guests, learning about them and their stories. I wrote more family poems in one night than I ever have - a lovely time! Thanks for your review

Having Jeff do typewriter poetry at our drinks reception was one of our favourite "icing on the cake" components of our wedding. It was entertainment for the guests and a gift for them to take home all in one, as guests can take home their poem (in the subject of their choice) on beautiful paper which we had personalised with our wedding date, as a memento. It was such a lovely conversation-starter for guests to mingle with as well, with people asking each other what their poem was about. Jeff really can write a poem about any subject and has such a beautiful way with words. We also asked him at the end to write us a poem about our wedding day, which was a such a special keepsake for us too. Jeff is a gentleman and was such a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend having him at your wedding!

Thanks Abigail! It was an honor to be a part of your wedding and meet so many of your incredible friends and family.

Jeff was very responsive and flexible working with us, even though we weren't sure the wedding was still going to happen due to COVID restrictions! It was wonderful for Jeff to be able to provide beautiful poems to our guests, when so many other aspects of our wedding did not go as planned. He helped make it a special day! The poems he made for us are among our treasured items.

Thank you Shaune! I was so glad to be a part of your wedding.
