Frequently Asked Questions

How many poems can one poet write in an hour?

It varies quite a bit of course, but on average, one of our poets will write 15-20 poems an hour, and sometimes as many as 30. It generally take 2-5 minutes to write one poem.

How many poets should I book for an event?

Typically two or three, but you might opt for one if it’s an especially small event or you have budget constraints. At most events - and particularly at weddings - we often have a line form and end up writing nonstop the whole time.

Do you travel?

Absolutely! It’s part of the job. However, if the travel distance is especially far, we may add a fee.
