What is your most memorable wedding?
I think it has to be the first wedding I ever read a poem at back in 2009! I was bridesmaid fir my good friend and I wanted to say a few words, which ended up bring a poem…and the start of my rhyming career!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Thoughtful Poetic Creative Approachable Fun

What about your business are you most proud of?
That I did it! After ten years of writing poems I launched Berry Poetic! I also love hearing people’s reactions to their poems!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Do it your way – make the day about you and what you love.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A personalised rhyming wedding speech of course!

Describe your typical process with a couple.
I tend to work with either the bride or groom, generally not both as a personalised poem is usually commissioned as a gift for one of them or as a speech. I also work with bridesmaids, best man, mum or dad, anyone who gets in touch wanting a poem. I start by sending a questionnaire via email for the client to complete with facts and information they want including in their poem. I then engage my poetic prowess to write their rhyming story, trying to use a balance of humour and sentiment! It usually takes between 1-2 weeks to write the first draft which is sent to the client for checking. I then make any requested changes until the client is totally happy with their poem!

What is your No. 1 top tip for keeping a crowd entertained?
Obviously a personalised poem!

Where is the most memorable place you have performed?
I once did an poetry open mic session at Cains Brewery in Liverpool, it was a great old venue with a lot of history and a great audience!
