Kaitlyn was so amazing to work with! She was so easy to get in touch with & very responsive throughout our planning process.

Kathy was so wonderful! She came to our wedding and everyone loved having their pictures drawn. She went above and beyond for us. She took pictures of everyone she drew and when she wasn't drawing she was taking other pictures and then she sent me all the pictures the next day. If I could give more stars I would. She is definitely worth having at any event.

DejaneJanedeArt

Walnut Creek, CA
  • Gifts and favors
  • Live painters & artists
  • Starts at $2,000

Hi, I'm Jane from DejaneJanedeArt, a watercolor artist based in Bay Area Northern California, but available for destination weddings internationally. Want to give a wedding gift that’s as unique and personal as the couple’s love story? Live wedding painting is an interactive and memorable experience. This allows your guests to watch as I create a beautiful artwork in real-time, capturing the magic of your celebration right before their eyes. As a result, the couple will receive a fully framed, ready-to-hang original artwork that will transport them back to this special day whenever they look at it.

We booked Jane shortly before our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier that we did. I’d been interested in incorporating live painting into our wedding for a while but struggled to find someone available and within our budget. On my MIL's recommendation, I decided to take another look—and I’m so glad I found Jane. Having her live paint at our wedding was an incredible experience. Our guests were captivated as they watched her create during the ceremony and throughout the evening. As it turned out, we had a lot in common personally and creatively—she’s also planning her own wedding—which made working together feel serendipitous. From our first conversation to meeting her in person on our wedding day, everything just clicked. Jane completed the painting so quickly! Due to our honeymoon, we didn’t get to see it in person until about a month after the wedding, but it was well worth the wait. The painting is stunning and now hangs across from our bed, where it serves as a daily reminder of our special day. Jane is incredibly creative and collaborative. Also, she traveled from NY to Northern Virginia for the day! She even offered great advice on sizing and framing, helping us choose the perfect option for our space. The live painting experience was truly one-of-a-kind, but I’d absolutely work with her again on other projects, like her beautiful pet or architectural paintings.

Heather Wolfe Art (Live Painting)

Knoxville, TN
  • Live painters & artists

Get INSTANT pricing on my WEBSITE! With over a 1M views on social media, I'm thankful to see such a positive response to my artwork. My whole life I have loved art! My first day of Kindergarten, my parents asked me what I hoped to do at school that day. I responded by saying, "I want to paint, paint a picture for my sister." I studied art in college and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education from Tennessee Tech University in 2006. I worked as an art educator for several years and as a full time independent artist since 2012. I have been featured by a number of podcasts, magazines, TV, as a keynote speaker, and across the globe.

Heather changed the vibe of my entire wedding day. This painting experience was gifted to us by my mother in law - and not only is it now a forever keepsake, but it was a TOTAL guest experience. Checking in on our painting throughout the night was so much fun. Our friends and family loved it so much. Working with Heather before our wedding was so fun - we hopped on the phone a week before because she wanted to completely understand my vision and hopes for our painting - and she delivered MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. She was absolutely without a doubt our favorite vendor. Heather was a joy to work with. Not only did she bring such incredible energy to our day, but she also went above and beyond to film so much iPhone content that I would have otherwise NEVER had of our wedding day. She (discreetly) filmed our vows, our grand entrance, my walk down the aisle, etc. I truly would have hired her just for this alone. I was so so soooo thankful to receive all of these (total surprise) from her the next day. This is something that makes Heather stand out amongst other vendors - this did not by any means fall under her promises to deliver but she did it anyway which I think speaks volumes to the person she is. She was so happy to just be apart of our day and capture it for us. If you are on the fence about a live painting experience - this is your sign, BOOK HER ASAP!!! We are forever Heathers biggest fans.

She was super friendly, made everyone feel comfortable, and the portraits turned out amazing—soft, pretty, and actually flattering. A lot of our guests said it was the best favor they’ve ever gotten at a wedding. We loved that it gave people something fun to do during cocktail hour and it never felt pushy or awkward.

I'm Molly- I love to celebrate love stories, and am a massive romantic at heart. Live wedding paintings aren't just a novelty, or a trend- they are an heirloom that you can pass down to family for generations. I love challenges, and that's a big part of why I love being a live wedding painter. Everything happens so fast! I can make a painting in 4 hours or less- from the ceremony though your reception. I have been an illustrator for 15 years, and I have my BFA in Painting from Memphis College of Art. Currently still have some openings for fall 2025, but booking up fast!

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Molly from Blush Bloom Studio in action, and I can’t recommend her enough! She painted a live watercolor of the couple’s wedding kiss at the reception, and it was incredible to witness. Her attention to detail, ability to color match, and the way she captured the emotion of the moment in such a delicate, artistic way left everyone in awe. Not only is she extremely talented, but Molly is also a true professional. Her communication was warm, kind, and genuine from start to finish. Watching her work in real time was such a unique and magical experience—and she completed the painting by the end of the reception! If you're looking for a meaningful and breathtaking keepsake for your wedding day, I can’t think of a more special way to capture the moment. Molly’s work is unforgettable!

My wife Susan and I are based in West Texas and love traveling wherever a beautiful love story takes us.

We cannot say enough how much we absolutely LOVED having Brent and Susan be apart of our day. They are truly such a kind and genuine couple who care so much about ensuring your painting matches all of your dreams. Through the planning process, they were intentional about asking what pose we want, what background we preferred, every single detail of my dress, etc. and after the wedding, made sure that the portrait was absolutely perfect before personally delivering it to us. Brent’s talent is unbelievable - his painting will proudly hang in our home forever. I would recommend to anyone and everyone that they include this timeless aspect as apart of your day!

Five stars really isn’t enough but it was the most we could give! Heidi was so amazing from start to finish. She met with us ahead of the wedding so she could make sure to capture our values and get an image that made our special day even better. On the day of the wedding she was there early, with plenty of time to scope out the venue and find the perfect place to capture the moment. Her presence was so calming amidst all the chaos! Our guests loved watching her work and were so intrigued by the concept of having a live painter (as was I!). They were also so impressed at the fact that the painting really looked like us! (I mean… that IS the idea, right? Lol) Heidi delivered the final painting to us in a beautiful wrapping that looked almost too good to open. I would highly recommend her to any couples considering a live painter for your wedding- you won’t be disappointed!
