Custom Typewriter Poetry for Events - NYC + NJ

Haiii, I’m nunyala the typewriter poet of your magical dreams, made manifest in real *still magical* human form. Since you dreamed me up, it is only write ;) that we find a way to enjoy this dreamworld together. In the 3 years I’ve been a typewriter poet (after anointing myself as a poet in the 7th grade), I’ve had the pleasure of writing for guests at all sorts of events from wedding receptions at Wythe Hotel, to themed skincare launches with Keys Soulcare, literary galas at New York Public Library, and most recently the induction of The American Art Reinstallation gallery at The Brooklyn Museum. All aforementioned name drops are my way of illustrating the big picture of our dreamworld: Typewriter poetry is the future of connection through vintage technology. Whether you want something like a photobooth but more personalized and interactive, this is the perfect old-literary-reverie meets modern-human-lore touch. In summary: Your guests will be delighted, and your party will be the talk of the town for months to come. THE OFFERING ​/​ HOW IT WORKS: During your event, guests can approach me at any time for a custom poem. I'll explain the process to them, and after they share as little or as much as they desire, I take about 2-3 minutes to conjure and type out their poem and read it to them. There’s delight, hugs exchanged, tears flowing, love all in the air! Given the personalization and intimacy of each interaction, I can write an average of 20 poems an hour. IMPORTANT NOTES: Each booking includes a free 15-minute phone call or video consultation with me. Please reach out prior to booking for further customizations, including: a custom stamp for your event, early arrival time of more than 30 minutes in advance, travel outside of NYC.

    Wow, where do I even start? Hiring nunyala for our wedding celebration and 1 year anniversary party was one of the best decisions we made —they added such a unique and personal touch to our event. It was such a seamless and exciting experience to work with nunyala, from start to finish. They made a point to be intentional with each guest and it was amazing to see how she captured their stories in just a few minutes. The poems she wrote were not only beautifully crafted but also encompassed emotions and experiences that many of us struggle to find the words for. The custom stamp on each poem was also such a cute detail—everyone left with a lovely keepsake to remember the day. My partner and I were lucky enough to grab a few minutes with her and the poem she wrote for us is something I deeply cherish —I appreciate it more each time I read it. If you’re thinking about adding something special to your event, I can't recommend nunyala enough. They bring a special touch that transforms moments into lasting memories.
