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.

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!!!

I could not recommend Artviva more!! The entire process leading up to the wedding was seamless. The day of, Angelis made sure we had so much fun, many options to choose from, and a vision we were confident and comfortable with. Throughout the reception we saw the painting come to life, and the everyone who saw it was absolutely floored. When we received our painting it was better than we could have ever imagined. It is a piece we will treasure forever and are so grateful for Angelis’ beautiful work!!

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!

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.

Angelis was amazing to work with! Our wedding was on June 8, 2024 and it was simply breathtaking. She worked with us every step of the way and the painting is absolutely amazing, and it's not even the final product! I can't wait to receive the final product!

Angelis was lovely to work with and is truly SO talented. She was very professional, easy to communicate with and punctual the day of. She captured my husband and I perfectly. Guests loved watching her work and were so astounded by how beautiful the painting was and how much it really resembled us. Several people mentioned that they had seen live painters at other weddings but they weren’t as detail oriented with their work as Angelis. She also packaged the painting very carefully and it arrived in pristine condition. If I had to do it all over again I would work with her in a heartbeat!

I hired Angelis to paint my son and daughter in laws first dance and the painting was just even better than I imagined! She made the process so easy and was so professional and so sweet to deal with. The day of the wedding she was there way in advance and everyone loved going over to watch her paint. Her talent is beyond anything you can imagine. The painting is just absolutely beautiful. We were all so happy with her that I now also booked her for my daughter’s wedding next October! If you’re looking for a live painter stop and hire Angelis you will be so happy you did.

Angelis was 10/10 the perfect addition to our wedding day. She was professional in advance when it came to a contract and communication, in the day of with being prompt, and following up when it came to updates and shipping our piece. Not to mention she did an AMAZING JOB and is a very talented artist. If you’re considering using her for your event I could not recommend her any more!

Thank you so much for making the most amazing gift I could give my wife to remember our very special day!
