Well Told

Well Told is a Boston-based glassware design company specializing in personalized wedding favors and gifts. Founded by Brian Johnson, who identified a gap in the market for contemporary customized homeware, the company expanded with partners Dave Reddy, Neil Angis, and Colin Woodworth. Originally operating as Maps Barware, the business rebranded to Well Told in 2019 as it grew beyond map-focused products. The company creates handmade glassware, flasks, carafes, bar boards, and serving trays that can be customized with meaningful locations such as where couples met, had their first date, or are getting married. Night sky designs are also available, featuring star patterns as they appear on specific dates like a wedding night. Each piece combines functionality, aesthetic value, and sustainability through the use of sustainable materials. Well Told offers both premade prints and custom individual designs for barware, placemats, and pocket flasks. They serve clients nationwide with no minimum order requirement and can ship anywhere in the US. The company has supported more than 200 nonprofit organizations through charitable donations tied to their sales.
