Do you need your event to be unforgettable?
“Guests continued talking about you all weekend!” - Nicolette Tedesco, Sparkling Soiree
Custom Poetry that will make your Event Special
Your next event needs an intimate touch.
Something personal. Something your guest will love.
Joy, laughter, tears may flow,
and they’ll remember the event, from young to old.
So, Apple Tree Poetry focuses on you.
What is on your mind? Let’s sit for a few.
After 2 to 5 minutes of chatting and smiles,
I type,
I move,
I talk as I wow.
This process equates to 10 poems per hour,
A respectable number like petals on a flower.
How do I do this? Allow me to show
the Apple Tree Way of creating a poem:
Behind the Paper
The 4-Step Journey from Store to Poem
01. Store
Your poem’s journey begins from a paper store in NYC.
02. Ream
A ream of 66lbs is chosen for the perfect thickness and bend.
03. Apple
Each sheet is hand-rolled and cut into a palm-size apple.
04. Poem
Finally, I feed your apple through my typewriter and compose a custom poem.
Here’s how it fits into their lives
4 ways to use my poem
01.
On their feed
02.
On their wall
03.
For their lover
04.
Forever
Tell me more about your event.
Why an apple you ask?
Poems are sweet as an apple,
A fruit you slowly consume,
and makes a crunchy swish sound,
With a smile that fills the room.
It happens to be my surname:
Manzano—Apple Tree—Poetry.
And I’ve saved a batch of apples
In case you say, “Show me.”
Born and Raised in New York City.
2/3rds of my early life, I hated writing.
Spring 2015, I saw a photo of a man on the street typewriting poetry.
That summer, I brought a typewriter to Central Park and never looked back.
Now I am one of the top typewriter poets in New York.
My English teacher demanded I write poetry.

Here are a few people who can vouch for me:

Hi Alexis,
Your beautiful poetry was the perfect addition to our event. We cannot thank you enough! Guests continued talking about you all weekend!
Kelsey Dandeneau - Event Planner, Convene
Alexis, what an absolute pleasure and joy it was to have you entertaining our guests. You were truly a main highlight of the evening! The team has already shared your name with a few planners, so I'm certain business will come ;) I will definitely keep you top of mind for future events later in the year.

Hey Alexis! It was our pleasure, it was such a unique experience for our guests, so thank you!
Brooke Leibinger - Community Coordinator, Brunch Inc
Alexis has brought a truly special experience to our store with his personalized love letters, typed on a vintage typewriter. His warm, creative energy invites customers to share ideas, which he turns into beautiful, one-of-a-kind letters. The experience feels authentic and memorable, and we can’t wait to have him back again!
Brigitte Atchekzai - Bride, 48 Lounge
Hi Alexis,
Thank you for the below! We have been lucky enough to enjoy your poems for some time now, and I always bring visiting friends and family to stop by to grab a poem. You have helped us celebrate graduations, anniversaries, and just average weekends. We are so excited to welcome our out of town guests to NYC with this lovely example of the artistry that makes it so special!
