Give your special day the remarkability and wow-factor that you and your loved ones will recount forever with hand-typed, bespoke poetry.
How it goes: Your guest grows curious as to why there’s someone with a real-life, vintage typewriter at your event. They approach me, and I ask them for a topic or whatever’s on their mind. We chat and I write them a bespoke poem, all within a few minutes, inspired by their chosen topic and our conversation. After hearing their poem, they walk away with a new treasure, forever marking the celebration of your love.
Guests often laugh, cry, and even hug me after reading their poem.
Details: Each poem is typed onto Savoy cotton flat cards and includes a dedication to the recipient(s) or whoever the recipient specifies. Each card also includes the date and location of the wedding (City, State, unless otherwise specified), and is signed by me. I'm able to write approximately 12-15 poems per hour when busy.
Inky Fingies Bespoke Poetry is a live wedding poetry writer based in Salt Lake City, UT.

Poet
I’m a professional typewriter poet based in Salt Lake City, UT. Originally from Los Angeles, CA, I began writing poetry as soon as I could hold a pen.
I received my 1971 Olympia typewriter (named Ollie) as a gift, and started my adventure as a typewriter poet in the early winter days of 2021.
Poetry is a pillar of my creativity and a lens through which I explore love, growth, and connection. My style tends toward rhythmic free-verse, with a special affinity for lunes, haiku, and rhyme.

Noah of Inky Fingies is a true poet. At my wedding, he set up his beautiful vintage typewriter and spent the cocktail hour creating personalized poems for our guests—each one a small masterpiece, typed on delicate cards and tailored to their prompts. The result was pure magic. Every poem felt intimate, profound, and alive, capturing the spirit of the moment in just a few perfect lines. Months later, our friends and family still have their poems displayed in their homes—from California to France—as cherished keepsakes from that day. Noah’s presence transformed our celebration into something timeless. I can’t imagine our wedding without him and can't recommend him enough for any event.

Noah was so incredibly easy to work with. He is so kind and communicative and will accommodate to your personalizations. He arrived to our event early and even stayed longer to make sure everyone who wanted a poem got one. He decorated his booth so cute and he fit right in with our vibe. His poems were so beautiful and everyone loved them so much! Would highly recommend if you want a unique vendor that will make your special night so much more meaningful!

Noah wrote poetry at my birthday party and it was absolutely perfect!!! His poems are thoughtful, insightful, and provoke introspection. He is very professional and accommodating, he doesn’t need much space and he bring is own table and chair. I would highly recommend his services if you want to add a personal touch to any occasion. All of my friends were taken back by his talent and the poems truly meant a lot to them. With just 1 prompt, he paints a picture that may be difficult for some to find the words for. My party was self-love themed and his services were the icing on the cake, they made everyone feel so special, heard, and valued!! To make art out of a simple idea is truly a talent. He is also quick and takes the time to make sure anyone who wants a poem gets one. He did 30 at my party which was about 2.5 hours long. 10/10 will be hiring him for my next big gathering.

Noah was such a lovely addition to my event! His set up was beautiful and he offered different decor options to go along with the aesthetic of the event. I was blown away by how many delightful and creative poems he could type in the time window booked. Highly recommend him as an interactive element your guests will remember.

Noah's writing and engagement with the participants of and celebration for the Wake of Our Waning Sea publication were phenomenal. His attention to detail in the on-the-spot poetry he created via the short but meaningful conversations he fostered among the participants created a community-based experience that both emphasized the need for gathering and sharing experiences about the Great Salt Lake while working together to save and sustain it. His poetic skills in adapting to the themes of the event were quite awe-inspiring.
I asked Noah to be our "resident" poet at the event because I came across his work while out to dinner one evening with my partner. He wrote a most charming poem for me that night. It's framed and hangs in our hallway right in front of our bedroom door.
It was a privilege and honor to work with Noah at the SLCC Community Writing Center's collaborative event hosted by Patagonia and in partnership with the Great Salt Lake Collaborative (GSLC). Members of were also thrilled with Noah's inventiveness and eco-poetics.

Noah is fantastic, I hired him for an event and he did not disappoint. Not only was the setup cute, attendees were so excited about the poems and having a physical item to walk away from the event with.
