Sweet Nothings, Live

Sweet Nothings began on sweet packets, typed one word at a time. Now it comes to you — in person, on a vintage typewriter, written on the spot.

You tell me a little about the moment, the person, the feeling. I type. A few minutes later you walk away with a completely original poem, signed and sealed in its own envelope — something nobody else at your wedding, party or launch will ever have.

FAQ

Do you need anything from us?

Just a small table, two chairs, and a reasonably quiet spot near where guests naturally gather. Everything else — typewriter, paper, envelopes — I bring myself.

Can guests choose the topic?

Entirely up to them — a love note, an in-joke, a moment from the day. If they're stuck, I'll ask a few questions to find it.

Do you travel outside London?

Yes, happy to travel for full or half-day bookings — just ask.

Have you done this before?

No! - should I admit that?!.. probably not. But, the first people to hire me will get a very discounted rate!
