Overview

Poetry Von Chelle is an intuitive on-the-spot typewriter poet, a unique art form that blends the timeless craft of poetry writing with the spontaneity of a live performance. With the star of the show, a vintage typewriter, Von Chelle takes literary snapshots of heartfelt human connection and crafts it into words of wisdom and wonder.

Each poem is a reflection of the moment, turning brief interactions into heartwarming and memorable verse. The tactile experience of hearing the typewriter keys strike the paper adds an element of nostalgia and authenticity, making each poem an immersive and intimate experience for all.

A+: A wonderful evening made brighter by Poetry Von Chelle

Yvonne was amazing! She filled in last-minute for my wife and I’s wedding with only a couple days of notice after our original poet had a family emergency. Her style was integral to the romantic ambience we wanted for our guests: an intimate dinner party for our friends and family. 


So many of our guests gushed about how fun and special it was to have a poem written for them. Since Yvonne sent photos of all the poems, we got to share in our guests’ experiences the following morning! I was struck by Yvonne’s style — while the themes of the poems (love, family, relationships) were similar for many people, she was still able to create unique and personal poems that spoke to them and their experiences.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for memorable addition to any celebration!

The best unexpected touch!

Recently planned a birthday party and Yvonne was a surprise vendor we had coming out that blew everyone away!! This day and age I think we’ve seen it all for events, but in comes custom poems for each guest with the most adorable setup! I absolutely loved working with her. She was quick to answer, brought all her own things for the most gorgeous setup, stayed all night to ensure that every guest got to see her and receive a poem, and the best part!! What a wordsmith she is!! I will keep the poem she made me forever :) 10/10 would recommend for something a little different and unique at your next event!

Poetry on Point!

We had Yvonne at a wedding I coordinated, and it was such a hit! Guests absolutely loved the experience — watching their words and feelings transformed into beautiful, heartfelt poems right before their eyes. It added such a thoughtful and artistic touch to the day, and people couldn’t stop talking about it.

Yvonne was wonderful to work with — friendly, professional, and so intuitive with each guest. It brought such a special energy to the event and created moments everyone will remember. I’d definitely recommend Yvonne to anyone looking to add something unique and meaningful to their celebration!

What to expect

A typewriter poet will heighten the ambiance of any venue with an intellectual and romantic air. Guests will sit with me for about 10 minutes where I will have a short and thoughtful conversation with them about the topic or prompt of their choice, work on the poem on my typewriter on the spot, and then read the poem as part of a mini performance just for them. I package the poem in an elegant envelope that matches the event’s color palette. The guests get to take home a customized poem as a party favor that they will remember for a very long time.

Depending on the package, I will also present a framed pre-written poem for the bride and groom or event host and will personally read it to them to commemorate the special day.

About

Yvonne has been writing stories since she was 12 years old and aims to make poetry accessible and engaging in a world of instant digital communication. You can find her popping up at different markets and parties all over Southern California and scattering the world with wisdom that uplift spirits in the form of heartfelt poetry.

Additional booking notes

I prefer to be situated away from loud speakers or live music as I need to listen and speak to the guests at a comfortable volume.
