Review summary
An on-site poet created vintage-style, on-the-spot bespoke poems that delighted guests and served as treasured keepsakes. The experience was personable, easy to arrange, and fit seamlessly with wedding decor. Reviewers highly recommend it for a heartfelt, interactive wedding favor.
McWhitney was great for our family event!
The guests loved the full experience and the experiential component of talking with Nathan to give him great material for a poem. He's great at writing them on the fly and really connecting with people and being intentional, yet witty.
You can ensure that for a wedding, his content would be totally applicable for all agencies, so you won't have to worry about offending your Aunt Bertha with anything that would cut you out of her will.
Highly recommend McWhitney's Poetry Services! I recommend hopping on a Zoom with him to get a good experience or meet him for coffee.
