Live Wedding Engraving & Hot Foiling at Chewton Glen

In July, I was invited to provide live engraving and hot foiling at the welcome night of a breathtaking 4-day wedding celebration held at Chewton Glen, a 5-star hotel and spa nestled in the New Forest and often recognised as one of England’s finest.

The couple had exclusively booked the entire venue to host 140 guests, many of whom had flown in from abroad to celebrate. The event was seamlessly orchestrated by Susannah Parker of Couture Wedding Events, alongside a team of over 55 exceptional suppliers, creating a magical and meticulously planned weekend.
Ahead of the event, I worked closely with the bride and her mother to develop bespoke personalisation options for guests that were thoughtful and inclusive. Since some guests didn’t drink alcohol, we curated two elegant keepsakes; hot foiled luggage tags and hand-engraved combs.

Guests could choose their preferred item and select between gold or silver foil for their tags.

One of the most touching compliments of the evening was: “You are a magician with your hands.”
The live engraving and foiling station became a standout moment of the welcome night, personal, elegant, and completely unique. Guests were thrilled to take home something that felt both luxurious and meaningful.
The wedding family were incredibly gracious, even arranging a beautiful suite for me to stay in, complete with a private hot tub (though I didn’t get the chance to use it!). Their hospitality, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire experience one I’ll always treasure.

This event was a true highlight and a testament to the magic that live calligraphy and custom personalisation can bring to luxury celebrations.
