A. Caroline, MFA, BFA, is a Manassas, VA-based typewriter, poet, and performance artist catering to events in the DC area. Through her mobile setup, she creates fine custom poetry on the spot for guests using midcentury typewriters! After a brief conversation, she is able to craft one-of-a-kind pieces in a matter of moments that truly capture what you are feeling. Let A. Caroline take the headache out of wedding favors. Her service is a fantastically unique way to send folks home with a hand-typed piece of art.

Hi, there! I’m Ashley. I started writing prose poetry for strangers in 2016, doing most of my early work at farmer’s markets. I love mid century style (vibes, not values!) and I collect typewriters from this era. Weddings found me - in that I started getting asked to perform at them rather than seeking them out myself. I’m choosing to lean into that! Weddings are a bright spot in people’s’ lives, and I like to help them celebrate. What could be better than commemorating the events and people at a really great party? Something I do very well is listen. I’m ready to make your day fantastic!

My partner and I recently hired Ashley to write poems for our guests as a wedding favor, and it was everyone's favorite part of the evening (ours included)! Ashley is the only pers...
on who could upstage not one, but TWO brides, and have everyone leave happy. Ashley has a remarkable talent for quickly but meaningfully connecting with people and beautifully capturing their experiences. Each guest who spoke with Ashley raved about their conversation with her and the unique poem that resulted from it. We couldn't be happier to have had Ashley take part in our special day and would recommend her services as a valuable addition to any event!

Having Ashley at our wedding was one of the most special and memorable parts of the entire day. She was absolutely incredible, thoughtful, intentional, and truly gifted at what she...
does. Her words captured the heart and spirit of our celebration so beautifully that so many of our guests were left in awe of her craft. She created something deeply personal and meaningful, weaving emotion, love, and storytelling together in a way that touched everyone in the room. Guests are still talking about how unique and moving it was to have her there. She was a beautiful addition to our wedding, not just as a vendor, but as someone who elevated the entire atmosphere. If you want to add something unforgettable and heartfelt to your celebration, I can’t recommend her enough. A breathtaking, one-of-a-kind experience.

Truly someone who values the story of the individual as much as the care she puts into her art form. Not only does she write well thought out pieces but they come from taking time ...
to listen and hear the story of the one before her. Definitely incredible experience and would recommend.
