How to Elevate a Holiday Party?

Live Engraving at Colliers Canada Holiday Party in Toronto

A Memorable Brand Activation at Steam Whistle Brewing

I recently had the pleasure of joining fellow engraving artist @filteredbygrace for a festive and high-energy live engraving event at the annual Colliers Canada Christmas Party — hosted at the iconic Steam Whistle Brewing in the heart of Toronto.

Together, we personalized over 250 glass ornaments and wine glasses for guests on-site in a span of 4 hours. From custom names to elegant designs, each engraving was done live, adding a unique and interactive experience to the evening. The event was a huge success — and I’m so grateful to have been part of it!

What is Live Engraving and Why It Elevates Events

Live engraving is a luxury on-site service where guests can receive customized items such as wine glasses, ornaments, perfume bottles, and more — right in front of them. It’s not only a personalized gift but also an engaging entertainment piece for corporate events, weddings, and brand activations.

Whether it’s for a corporate holiday party, product launch, wedding, or pop-up event, live engraving offers guests a meaningful takeaway and creates a memorable brand impression.
