If you’re a winery in Sonoma/Napa Valley, custom engraving is the perfect way to elevate your next club member event.

If you’re hosting an event where experience matters just as much as presentation, engraving offers a lasting way to make guests feel recognized and appreciated. Whether you’re welcoming wine club members, hosting a brand activation, or gathering VIP guests, custom engraving transforms a beautiful object into something personal — something guests actually keep, use, and remember long after the event ends. The result is an elevated, personal moment for your guests — and peace of mind for you, knowing the details are being handled with care, professionalism, and intention.

Commonly Asked Questions (+ Answers!)

  • It depends on your text and the size of the item. Most engravings take about 1–4 minutes, including color fill (gold or silver), which sets instantly.

  • Pressurized bottles such as champagne or sparkling wine bottles. They pose a risk of exploding during or after engraving.

  • A table, chair, and the items to be personalized. I bring all equipment and usually do not need access to an outlet. Forms and signage are also included.

  • For events with 150+ guests, high guest flow, or when you want to minimize wait times. Additional artists ensure smoother lines and a better experience for everyone.

    Assistants are ideal for high-volume events or when you want a very smooth flow. They handle forms, guide guests, organize completed items, and support efficiency.

  • Corporate events, luxury retail activations, private events, galas, tradeshows, and entertainment industry events (sports, music, TV, podcasts).

  • On-site events are offered as half-day (up to 4 hours) or full-day (up to 8 hours) bookings, with quotes customized to your needs. Quotes include parking, travel, materials, insurance, forms, and informational signage.
    For in-studio work, pricing depends on item quantity and your timeline.

  • In-studio work is perfect for projects that don’t require live, on-site personalization. This includes calligraphy on place cards or escort cards, engraving on small batches of gifts, hot foiling, bottle painting, wood burning, signage, packaging personalization, and seasonal gifting projects.

  • Absolutely! Travel fees may include time, flights, hotel, meal stipends, and transportation.

 Notes of praise from my clients

It was such a pleasure working with Jessica! She made the entire process so seamless and easy. The notebooks she did for a company gift came out beautiful! I will definitely be using her for all personalization and calligraphy moving forward for work and personal needs. Highly recommend!

Jessica performed calligraphy services for a 3-day corporate event and everyone had a fantastic time! All employees were happy and the ease to book a team was greatly appreciated! Would recommend Alcove for any corporate or company events!

We worked with Jessica to complete several calligraphy cards on Cartier card stock. The end result was stunning and we are already discussing ongoing client appreciation and private event projects.
