Live Experiential Poetry Activation
Original Poems For Original People
Darin Jakob Designs Wedding And Event Experiences
Why Your Darin Jakob Clients Will Love This Experience
1. It’s (not) your typical entertainment offering. It is a unique thoughtful activation your wedding event guests will talk about.
2. In addition to fun-elevated, your guests receive a keepsake (bespoke party favor gift) they get to take home with them.
3. Offering your event guests intentional, immersive activations, remind your clients of the epic experience they had working with you.
How It Works
Your wedding / event guests are invited to come up to the poet’s instillation and request their one-off custom poem. Fadi (the poet), has a brief conversation with the guest, asks a few questions, and people share "their story". He then spontaneously begins to curate their poem right in front of them on his now iconic 1945 Hermes mint-green colored vintage typewriter.
The poet gives an honest intuitive appraisal of your vibe, through verse. Your wedding / event guest can of course request a custom poem for someone they love or whomever, but most people want a poem for themselves, or request a couples poem. This authentic human connection interaction organically creates an unforgettable experience, that allows the event guest to be in the present moment.
All poems are crafted on Archival Luxe Vellum paper, and presented in a premium Luxe envelope. Intimate custom-curated poems are a thoughtful nostalgic keepsake that guests will get to take home with them from the wedding or event, making the special night even more memorable.
