CALGARY LIVE EVENT ARTIST

Live on-site engraving, hand-painting & hot foiling for weddings and brand events

KEEPSAKES MADE LIVE

Weddings • Brand Events • Celebrations

Your guests won't remember the favour in the bag. They'll remember watching their name engraved on it. I'm Joanne, a Calgary calligrapher and live event artist. I personalize keepsakes on the spot at weddings and brand events, so every guest leaves with something made just for them.

Give Your Guests Something They'll Actually Keep

Live engraving, bottle painting and hot foiling turn a favour into an experience. Guests choose their piece, watch it come to life, and take home a keepsake with their name, date or monogram on it. Perfect for receptions, cocktail hours, bridal showers and brand activations.

I started lettering for my sister's wedding and never stopped. Today I bring live engraving, hand-painting and hot foiling to weddings and brand events, plus custom keepsakes and wedding signage from my Calgary studio. Your guests get to watch something handmade happen in real time.

Want your guests talking about the favours, not just the food? You're in the right place.

Client Love


“An absolute gem of a find for our wedding signage!

“Duchess Calligraphy went above and beyond. Our signature drink signs with our dogs, the welcome and seating signage, and the engraved perfume bottles were all flawless. Every detail was thoughtful and added so much elegance to our day. Working with Joanne was a dream — the drafts, communication, and final pieces were perfect. Highly recommend!”
