I receive about 12 invitations but can only make 7 Chinese New Year events each year.
Total cost = ( Hourly rate x Number of hours ) + Applicable extra mileage charge + Applicable supplies if you prefer not to buy your paper
An event located 20 miles from the intersection of I-635 & Central Expressway 75 will be subject to an "Extra Mileage Charge" of $5 per mile.
Minimum booking is two hours.
2 tables + 2 chairs in a very bright area (for best output of quality and quantity)
The guests will receive free Chinese calligraphy written for either short phrases or first names if the event organizer pays the hourly rate.
Joshua will bring a mixture of red paper, fancy paper, and bookmarks, and let the guests select their preferred paper. You don't need to purchase anything.
If a guest requests the name/phrase to be written on a scroll, s/he will pay the cost of the scroll (typically $20 to $50). Writing is free.
You need to purchase paper from Amazon.
The audience will receive Chinese calligraphy and/or simple painting created on scrolls (or paper) and experience a wonderful cultural journey.
Respectfully designed for CEO, VIPs, beauty pageants, ceremonies, etc. Calligraphy written on scrolls has a higher collection value. You make your decisions to order a mixture of blank scrolls, specialty paper and/or mounted cardstock from Amazon. I do not provide paper and scrolls for this option.
