My now-husband and I hired Jessica as our live event wedding painter for our November 2023 NYC wedding. Jessica was actually one of the first vendors that we booked because I saw her work on Instagram. I absolutely loved her work and style of painting so we booked her about 2 years in advance to make sure she was available for our date! Jessica was super easy to work with throughout the planning process and offered different sized paintings to select from depending on price range. We decided that we wanted our captured painting moment to be during our first dance. Jessica got to the venue super early to make sure she could capture the dance floor and then filled in details as the night progressed. The end result was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and all the details were captured so uniquely, yet accurately. Jessica is so talented and the painting revel after our cake cutting was one of my favorite parts of the night! Jessica then took the painting back for the final details and when we got it back a few months later it was even better than we remembered (if that’s even possible)! Getting the painting back was such a nice belated wedding gift to us and brought back so many great memories. We did get the larger sized painting as we wanted to make it a focal point in our home, and I am so glad we get to have this forever and look at it daily! Truly such a treasure and great addition to your event or wedding day!

My husband and I are completely blown away by the painting Jessica did of our first dance at our wedding. The detail in the painting is incredible - from the flowers and tablescape to our parents and bridal party in the background of our photo, she didn’t miss a single detail. She even made sure the detail in both my mother and mother-in-law’s dresses looked EXACTLY how they were in person. You can clearly tell who all of our family is in the photo. It’s such a special keepsake that we will cherish forever. The live painting was also such a special detail for all of our guests to witness during the reception. Our guests were blown away by how talented Jessica is. We highly recommend booking her for your wedding!

Jessica is a MUST have at your wedding! Professional and very talented. My guests all raved about her. It was such a special part of our day to have her be our live painter, as our guests danced the night away they got to peak at our painting as it became more and more beautiful. A few months prior to our wedding I asked if she could paint in my deceased mother in law. I sent her a picture and trusted her judgement. As the night ended my husband and I went to see the big reveal. We saw our closest friends and family painted in the background as we had our first dance. This was a surprise to my husband, it took his breath away. It was truly my favorite part of our evening and it is my favorite piece of art!
