Personalized Interaction
We’ve all been to events where you walk away with the usual branded pens, keychains, or tote bags, right? Nothing wrong with those, but there’s just something extra special about receiving a personalized, hand-engraved piece that feels like it was made just for you. That's where live engraving (and I) come in!
The beauty of live engraving is that it’s an incredibly personal experience. I love interacting with guests, chatting with them as I work, and seeing their eyes light up when they watch me transform an item into a customized keepsake. Whether it’s their name on a perfume bottle, a meaningful date on a wine glass, or even a short, heartfelt message on a leather notebook – the result is always something that feels truly unique to them.
Wondering what to engrave? Here are some of the most popular options:

It’s amazing how such a small gesture can create such a big impact. Guests feel special, seen, and appreciated. This kind of interaction is what makes live engraving so much more than just a service – it’s an experience that people remember and talk about long after your event has ended.
Enhanced Brand Perception
We all want our brands to be seen as high-quality, sophisticated, and unforgettable. When you include live engraving at your event, you’re sending a clear message: We care about the details. It’s a subtle but incredibly effective way to elevate your brand’s perception, adding a touch of luxury that leaves a lasting impression.
Every piece created through live engraving at an event is carefully crafted, with a lot of thought and care going into making each item special. This level of craftsmanship reflects directly on your brand, showing that you value quality, personalization, and that little something extra that sets you apart. It’s these little touches that make all the difference!
Social Media Buzz
One of the coolest things about live engraving is that it’s incredibly photogenic. People love capturing the process! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had guests pull out their phones to record videos, snap photos, and share the whole experience with their followers. And the best part? Every time they share that moment, they’re also sharing your brand with their entire network.
It’s a win-win: they get to show off their personalized piece, and your brand gains organic exposure that can reach far beyond the walls of your event. The ripple effect is real, and it’s a fantastic way to create some buzz and excitement around your brand!
Keepsakes for Attendees
We all love a good keepsake, don’t we? But instead of handing out the usual branded swag that ends up at the back of a drawer, why not give your guests something they’ll actually appreciate?
Each item is carefully engraved with a personal touch, making it a gift that feels thoughtful, special, and truly one-of-a-kind. Every time they see or use that item, it will remind them of your event and the incredible experience they had.
That connection is so valuable – it keeps your brand top-of-mind long after the event has ended and helps build a deeper, more meaningful relationship with your audience. It’s a simple gesture, but it’s one that creates a lasting impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you’re planning a live event or just curious about the engraving process, I’ve gathered the most common questions I receive to help guide you. For a more in-depth look into how a live engraving event will look like, read my blog here.
How long does it take to engrave an item on-site?
Typically, engraving an item on-site takes just a few minutes per piece. Of course, the timing can vary based on the complexity of the design, but generally, your guests won't be waiting long to receive their personalized items.
What materials can be engraved during a live event?
I offer a variety of engraving options that can adapt to your event's style and needs. Hand engraving is great for glass or metal items (think wine glasses and bottles, compact mirrors, candles, fragrance bottles or tumblers). Certain plastic products can be engraved too. For leather goods, I offer heat foiling, which also creates a stunning, long-lasting impression. Have something in mind, but not sure if it can be personalized? Sure! I’d be happy to test it.
Do I need to provide the items to be engraved?
Yes, you'll need to provide the items you'd like to have engraved. If you need help deciding what to offer for your activation, I’m more than happy to offer recommendations that fit your event’s theme and style.
Is live engraving noisy or disruptive?
Not at all! My engraving process is quiet and unobtrusive. It won’t interfere with your event's atmosphere or conversations, allowing your guests to enjoy the experience without any distractions.
How much space do you need for a live engraving station?
The best setup is usually in a high-traffic area, like near the entrance, cocktail lounge, or close to the main gathering spot, so guests can easily spot me and participate without any hassle. Good lighting is also important to ensure precision. It's also ideal to have enough space for guests to gather around and watch their personalized pieces come to life. This makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.
