Best Decision We Made

Hiring Andy to paint our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Andy was so genuinely excited to be part of our day that I knew she was the best person to capture the moment through her art. It really felt like she was another guest at our wedding. The painting turned out even better than we could have imagined. We will cherish it forever. I wish we had more events we could use her for!

Most amazing special touch

Andy came to our destination wedding and provided guest watercolor paintings that were absolute treasures for our guests and myself and husband! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to make small tweaks regarding deadlines for payment schedule to better accommodate our timeline. She booked her own flights which took stress off of my plate, which was nice during the chaos of wedding planning. If you are considering it, do it! Her art was exactly what I hoped for. She’s amazing and her work is a priceless memory from your celebration. Multiple of our guests have reached out to share with me how much they love their paintings and how they have it displayed in their homes.

One of the best parts of our Wedding

Our experience with Andy was truly wonderful and beyond 5 stars! I had always hoped to have a live painter at our wedding and my husband loved the idea. I found Andy’s website and fell in love with her work! Throughout this whole process Andy was incredible! She really took the time to get to know mine & my husband’s story. She was so sweet and easy to talk to. She made sure to know the details of our wedding, and our family and friends. This way on our wedding day, she was able to truly capture those people and details. I wish I could have given her more of my time on our actual wedding day but as the bride I was being pulled away way more than I anticipated. However Andy was so understanding. Everyone who got to see her painting, came up to me to saying how impressed they were. Our photographer and her worked together when she was done, to reveal the painting to my husband and I. They captured the moment we saw it for the first time and I was instantly in tears! It was beautiful and Andy caught the perfect moment and the details I told her were important to us. After it was finished, we received so many compliments! This painting is so special to us, we are hanging it over our fireplace and it will be a cherished item we keep forever. We couldn’t recommend Andy enough, and anyone who has the pleasure of working with her will be more than happy!

Simply Amazing

If I could give Andy 10 stars on this review I would! The entire process leading up to the wedding day was seamless. I knew I wanted a live painter for my wedding but didn’t know much besides that and Andy was able to help guide me through the process to figure out what I wanted. The day of she created something so amazing for me and my husband that I could have ever imagined that I will have forever. Andy is so professional and personable, my guests loved that they were able to go and watch her create the painting during the reception and are still talking about it a month later.we just brought our painting to a framer so we will be able to hang it in our future home and think of that special moment everyday when we pass by thanks to Andy! I truly cannot recommended Andy and Celebration painting enough you will not be disappointed!

Beautiful painting that I will cherish forever!

Andy created the most special painting for me and my husband's wedding. It is amazing the level of detail she is able to include in such a short period of time, and all of my wedding guests loved being able to check on how the painting was coming along. It was a truly unique experience, and I feel so blessed to have this painting to pass down to my kids and grandkids someday. Andy picked a moment to paint that captured the joy and love that we felt and I couldn't love it any more! Thank you, Andy!

About 1.5 years later, we still look at our painting in awe. Andy was able to capture such a beautiful moment and paint it with no time to spare! All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how the live painting added a great touch to the wedding. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Andy because of all the wedding craziness, but she was incredibly responsive through the whole process. I highly recommend going the extra inch to hire Andy for your wedding! It adds pure elegance and uniqueness, and people will not forget it!

A year later and we are still so happy we had Andy live paint our event. It was a unique experience for our guests to watch and for us to have to an oil painting of our special day. She took the style preferences we had based on her previous works and without further micromanagement she made a beautiful painting that showed the feeling of our first dance. Andy was professional, fun and easy to work with. Our painting still hangs above our mantle! If we had to do it over again, we would! Her work was worth the price and (minimal) effort to set up.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
