The best decision ever

I’ve always wanted a live painter at my wedding, but didn’t know if I would ever be able to fit it in my budget when the time came around. When I got engaged, the first thing I did was start my research to find a live painter and see if I can make my dream come true. They all looked amazing, but were either way too expensive, or childish looking. I found ArtViva Events by accident and looked through her page to expect the same thing as the rest of the painters I’ve seen, but I was so wrong. I booked her immediately and it was the BEST decision I’ve ever made. She was so responsive, so professional, and so calm and friendly. I felt so comfortable with her and I couldn’t wait for the big day. Now, 5 months after my big day, my painting is hanging in my living room and me and my husband stare at it every. Single. Day. From the details on my dress, to the smile lines on my face, she captured EVERYTHING in the painting. From the careful attention to detail, to the cleanliness, to the extreme intricacy, everything is just PERFECT. I could not be happier with who I chose for this special part of my wedding day.
It literally looks like a picture and it’s so hard to believe that someone was able to create such detail and definition with paint. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone that’s getting married.
This wasn’t just a purchase, it was a memory and an experience.

Best Money Spent

I have been trying to think of what to write for Angelis, and I have come up with absolutely nothing that is adequate to describe the magic she brought to our wedding. I knew very early on I wanted a live wedding painter, and I did a lot of research for pricing and style. I love painting myself, and our wedding song was "The Painter" by Cody Johnson, so a live painter seemed like a no brainer. Angelis was magical; I don't know how else to describe what she accomplished. She was so kind and interactive with our guests when they went up to her, so accommodating, and genuinely a joy to have at our reception. I was just in awe of what she accomplished at the reception, and I am beyond excited to see the final piece when it is done. If you are considering booking Angelis, do it. Don't wait; you'll regret it if she books your date before you get a chance to book her! She is an incredible artist and such a joy to work with. She is worth every single penny.

Amazing work!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a more incredible experience with our wedding painter, Angelis. From start to finish, she captured the spirit, emotion, and beauty of our day in a way that truly took our breath away. Watching the painting come to life during the reception was such a unique and special experience—not just for us, but for our guests as well.

Her attention to detail, use of color, and ability to reflect the atmosphere of the moment were simply outstanding. Every brushstroke felt intentional and full of meaning. What she created wasn’t just a painting—it was a timeless piece of art that perfectly tells the story of our wedding day.

Angelis was also an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, kind, and seamlessly blending into the day while still engaging with guests who were fascinated by her process. So many people are still talking about how special it was!

We will treasure this painting forever, and we are beyond grateful for the care and talent she put into creating it. If you’re considering a wedding painter, we truly cannot recommend Angelis highly enough.

Live painting

Hiring our live painter was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment she arrived, her presence was calm, professional, and full of positive energy — and then the magic began.

Watching her paint live was truly mesmerizing. Guests could not stop talking about her talent, and people were constantly walking over just to watch the artwork come to life. She captured not just how the moment looked, but how it felt — the emotion, the movement, the love, and the atmosphere of the room. It was honestly breathtaking.

The final painting absolutely exceeded every expectation. The detail, the colors, the emotion — everything was flawless. It’s more than just a painting; it’s a forever keepsake that tells a story and brings us right back to that special moment every time we look at it.

She is incredibly gifted, patient, and thoughtful, and you can tell how much love she pours into her work. Our guests are still talking about her, and we’ve had so many people ask for her information after seeing the finished piece.

If you are even considering a live painter for your event — do it. And hire her. You will not regret it. Phenomenal talent, beautiful soul, and an unforgettable experience. We are beyond grateful!!!

Beautiful Final Product!

Highly recommend Angelis as a live wedding painter. She captured our Indian wedding so well and I appreciated her sending examples of her work drawing other South Asians ahead of time. Everyone loved watching her in action at the wedding. It took a little on the longer side to get the final painting in the end but 100% worth it!

Wedding painting I purchased for my daughter and son in law

This is the second painting I have had done by Angelis. My son got married last year and after seeing how great his turned out there was no doubt I wanted Angelis to also do my daughters who was married on Oct 12th. All I can say is if you are looking for a wedding painter look no further! When I say she is the best she really is the best! All of our guests at the wedding were in awe of her talent! She truly is amazing and so sweet and so easy to deal with. I recommend Angelis very highly and cannot wait to see the finished product of my daughter’s painting.
