A Most Unusual Guest Book Idea

I often get solicitations from a wide array of vendors offering products and services, but when I read the email from Bill Keys I was intrigued. (I wonder if that is his real name since he actually works with “keys.”)  Bill provides a very unique style of wedding entertainment, which is also can be made into a one of a kind guestbook.  He composes poems for people, live and on the spot, using a 1917 Corona typewriter.  Each guest tells Bill what they want the poem to be about, (ie. their relationship with the Bride or Groom, a funny event, a long standing joke, etc.) and then he creates a personal poem about that topic.   It takes Bill approximately ten minutes for the conversation and composition.  He then will photograph the poem, and the person holding the poem and you can keep the hard copy.  

For a wedding he let’s everybody know that all the poems will be collected into a book for the bride and groom, so they make their requests accordingly. The book is handmade and includes all poems and photos of loved ones who requested them.  

I think that’s about as personalized a guest book as I’ve heard of in a long time!

Watch the video of this very unique man writing his poems in the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder.  If you would like to book Bill Keys for your wedding, contact me at The Main Event.
