✦ live typewriter stories ✦
Your guests will leave holding a story.
I bring my typewriter to your event and write a short story for each guest, on the spot, from a few words they tell me. A few minutes later, they hold something written only for them.

A guest approaches, curious at the sight of a woman sitting behind a typewriter. Is she a secretary? A ticket clerk? Something made them come to the table and ask. I listen to their words and to what's underneath them.
Then… I type. I write the story I hear underneath what they said, for that one guest. A few moments later, I hand it to them.
I have seen people cry. I have seen people laugh. Every time, it's a moment of real connection.
They fold the story into a pocket and take it home. Some of them frame it.

✦ what it brings ✦
Not a photo booth. Not a favour bag.
Long after the menu and the décor, people remember the moment someone wrote something just for them.
A typed story, signed, on paper. No two the same.
Events are loud. The typewriter corner is a small place where guests slow down and feel seen.
I listen to what's said and to what isn't. Your guests will feel the difference.

Nena · Paris
“Our guests are still talking about it. Everyone wanted a story. Everyone left with something they'll keep.”
