Ben & Wed on Canvas is a MUST for your special day!

I really still am in awe of how amazing having Ben create a live painting at our wedding was. This was hands down the best decision we ever could have made to make our wedding day even more special and memorable. If you are reading the review you have to trust me and BOOK HIM! He truly is the kindest, most personable guy, mingling with our family and friends throughout the night and allowing them to watch all parts of his amazing painting process. Ben as well as his wife, were in contact with me well before the wedding to prepare for the day to minimize any stress the day of. Ben asked me questions on exactly what part of the night that I wanted him to capture, and he was so enthusiastic and excited! I am still receiving phone calls and text messages from family and friends begging me to see the final product! I truly feel that Ben made our wedding day the best day of our lives, and now we can actually have a piece of such a special time, in our home, forever! Thank you Ben! You truly are amazing at what you do!!!

Best Decision We Made

Where do I even begin? Choosing Wed on Canvas was one of the best decisions that we made when planning our wedding. First of all, Jen and Ben are the dream team. From the first time I met Jen, she was so warm and enthusiastic. I changed the location of my photo several times, and she walked me through all of my options and was so patient. On the day of, Ben was fantastic. You truly cannot overemphasize how much guests enjoy the live painting experience. Ben not only painted our day perfectly, he was engaging and spoke with guests as they asked him questions. Two months later, people in our lives are still commenting on how amazing our live painting was. The finished product is STUNNING. My husband and I were perfectly depicted, down to his dimple. Even looking at the wedding party in the background, the head shapes, etc. look just like them. The colors are beautiful and bright. I feel so many emotions every time that I look at the painting. We even ordered thank you cards with the painting on them, which we are excited to send to our guests. I would absolutely recommend Wed on Canvas. From start to finish, it was an incredible and memorable experience.

So cool and unique!!

I can't express how much we enjoyed having Wed on Canvas be a part of our wedding last weekend!! We worked with Jen and Ben leading up to the wedding to choose the perfect moment of our day to be depicted in the painting, and they worked really hard to tailor the painting to us personally. They are both such genuinely nice people and Ben was a joy to have at our celebration! He is so interactive and was very engaging with every guest who came over to check out the painting. Our guests had so much fun watching the painting develop over the night - so many people commented how unique and cool it was (and several tried to persuade Ben to add them into the scene haha)!! We we will treasure this gift forever.

From the initial phone conversation to the finished product, our experience with Jennifer and Ben has been delightful! We worked with Ben to pinpoint the moment the bride (my daughter, Pearce) and groom (my son in law, McLain) wanted painted and it far exceeded our expectations. Our guests at the wedding really enjoyed talking with Ben and seeing the creative process take place. My daughter and her husband and our families will enjoy this for a lifetime!

Ben did the most fabulous job! The painting is better than we ever could have dreamed for. The guests at the wedding absolutely adored him. People have been raving about how much they enjoyed talking with him and watching him create our masterpiece. This is something we will cherish forever. His wife is also amazing. I highly recommend using him for your special day!

Having Ben Keys paint our ceremony was truly the most unique detail we could have had on our special day! The painting was such a fun part that our guest loved and we are still hearing compliments of how special it was. We had an outdoor ceremony under oak trees in a park and Ben captured it so perfectly! Before the big day I discussed with them my vision for what details I wanted captured in the painting and even discussed what would happen if it rained and we had to have a tent. They really made the process seamless and stress free. We loved that the painting background was started before our guests arrived to the ceremony and then was finished with more details of us and our guests throughout the night at the reception location. It was really something fun to keep our guest entertained during cocktail hour and throughout the evening. Ben and Jennifer Keys were both so personable and professional with us and our guests that we couldn't be happier. Now we have a gorgeous painting that was created right where we said our vows to remember our special day!

Amazing-- the best thing about our wedding. Ben Keys is not only an incredible artist, but incredible entertainment for our guests. Highly recommend (it is pricey but totally worth cutting back on floral, other wedding items to be able to have him).

OMG! I thought I was obsessed with Ben & Jen and Wed on Canvas when I first booked them but boy has my obsession grown now that I finally go to meet Ben and saw how magical and beautiful it was watching our painting come alive. All of our guests were raving about how incredible it was to watch, and so many wished they had known about Wed on Canvas when they got married. We can not wait to see the finished product and to find a perfect little place in our home to admire it forever. It will be cherished forever. Ben & Jen, thank you for being so easy to talk to and for being talented beyond words.

My husband and I couldn't be happier that we found Wed on Canvas and we also couldn't recommend Ben Keys more highly to anyone who is considering a live painting for their wedding. He is extremely talented at capturing what scenery and people truly look like while still putting his own unique touch on the painting. As a bonus, he and his lovely wife Jennifer are a pleasure to work with and our guests really enjoyed watching the painting progress during our reception. I know our painting is something we will always treasure, and I also know that Wed on Canvas has been busy busy busy, so hurry up and book!
