FREQUENTLY ASKED

  • My project minimum for full-service signage is $1,650. For live engraving, the minimum is $850. Any other smaller projects or commissions do not have a minimum!

  • I always recommend booking your signage 6 to 8 months out. For live engraving, I open my books 12+ months out, as weekends fill up quickly!

  • Absolutely! You can ship them directly to me or drop them off if you are local to Columbus.

  • Absolutely! I do custom commissions for perfume and bottle engraving, bottle painting, teacher gifts, mother or father of the bride gifts, etc. Send me an inquiry and I’m happy to help!

  • I ask for all details to be in one month out from your event date, including your seating chart. This allows me plenty of time to source supplies and gives us a little wiggle room if we need to make any small changes.

  • I set up my packages to include your choice of glassware (which I ship to you in advance or if local, deliver day-of). On the day of the event, I arrive an hour early for set up, and then engrave custom names, initials or sayings on the glasses that your guests will take home!

  • Yes! If I have availability for your date, I would love to help with your signage as well, and include delivery at no extra cost (local travel only).

  • Glass, metal, marble and wood can be engraved, leather and fabric can be hot-foiled, and most any other surface can be written on! We have a tool for whatever product you have!

  • Small items usually take 1–2 weeks from design approval to delivery. During wedding season (April - October), turnaround times may be longer. I always recommend reaching out as soon as you can!

    Rush orders may be available for an added fee.

  • Yes! I travel all over the US for live engraving services!
