How much does a live wedding painting cost?

The starting cost for hiring a live event wedding painter is typically around $2,000, with the final price varying based on the artist's level of expertise. Every artist brings a unique combination of experience, preferred canvas sizes, chosen mediums, distinctive style, and a variety of painting package options. The cost encompasses all necessary supplies for creating the painting, including the canvas, the artist's live wedding painting experience, mastery of technique and speed painting, additional finishing touches added in the studio, and a stunning artwork uniquely tailored to your wedding. Additional costs include shipping, packaging, and travel expenses. Complete our contact form to inquire about availability, and we'll help you find the perfect artist and package that suits your budget.

Can you add extra people to the wedding painting and how much will it cost?

As live wedding paintings are typically created on-site over 6-10 hours on the day of the event, we prioritize focusing on the couple in the artwork to ensure the highest quality painting within the available time. We are more than happy to include additional people and details in the scene if desired. The painting might not be entirely finished by the end of the reception, as the artist may require additional time in their studio to refine and complete the final details. After completing the contact form and confirming availability, we can arrange a consultation to discuss your vision, review the process, and outline the progress expected for the painting by the end of the reception.

How much is it to get an in-studio, after the wedding, painting done?

If we are unable to paint live at your wedding, we would be delighted to create a custom painting for you using professional photos from your special day as reference. This is referred to as a commissioned work of art created in the studio. Prices start at approximately $1,500 and vary based on the artist's medium, canvas size, and level of detail. We would be happy to provide you with a personalized quote tailored to your envisioned wedding setting.


How much of a retainer deposit is required to book a live wedding painter?

A deposit retainer of $500 is kindly required. This payment is included in the total amount and is not an additional charge. The remaining balance can be settled through a standard schedule of three (3) payments: an initial deposit of $500 is required upon signing the contract, a second payment is due halfway between booking and the wedding date, and the final payment should be made one week prior to the wedding. Alternatively, you may opt to divide the balance into smaller, more frequent installments to suit your preferences. We are committed to collaborating with you to create a payment schedule that suits your needs.
