The kindest most gifted artist!

Julia was a surprise gift from my matron of honor. She was an absolute dream to work with! From wedding day Julia was so considerate in asking us particular questions about our painting, and after wedding day she was so communicative with updates. I can't imagine a higher level of professionalism and joy from a vendor than what Julia expressed to us and our painting is now our most prized possession. She captured our first dance and our venue perfectly. I'd also like to note that I am a person of color while my husband is white, so I was initially nervous about how our skin tones would translate to a painting, but they are perfect!!

Blown Away!

Julia is an absolutely gem of an individual! She is so quick to respond to inquiries and her skills put her so far above other wedding painters, it's insane!
Many were skeptical about a wedding painter but with Julia, she absolutely blew everyone away on the wedding day. It was the talk of the whole day! People couldn't believe the level of detail and colors she was able to get. Many claimed it was as good as a photograph. The final piece is absolutely stunning. The extra hours in the studio and frame were just icing on the cake. We are so happy with our painting and it hangs in a place of honor on our mantle in our living room. 12/10 would recommend Julia to anyone getting married.

Kind and Talented!!

Julia was absolutely incredible during all steps of the wedding planning process! She was so kind and communicative in the days leading up to our September 2024 wedding, even when considering potential rain plan options, and on the day of, she absolutely wowed us (and every single one of our guests) with her talent. She truly made every detail of our ceremony scene come to life on canvas, but also checked in with us periodically to make sure we liked how everything was coming along, and to give input on the creative direction of the painting. Beyond her work, somehow, in between creating an original painting from start to finish that evening, Julia managed to capture and send us a video of our ceremony entrance; we did not have a wedding videographer, so having that video means so much, and Julia did that purely out of kindness. We now have a piece of art hanging in our home that we will truly cherish forever. Thank you, Julia!

Julia was great to work with. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and was very friendly. The painting turned out amazing and everyone at the wedding said that she was one of their favorite parts! Would definitely recommend.

Best live painter ever

We found an absolute GEM when we hired Julia to do our live painting for our wedding in Estes Park, CO. My wife and I went back and forth on what to spend our wedding budget on and after nailing down the mandatory vendors we began looking things that we would be able to look back on and relive our special day over and over. We are so happy that we decided to go with a live painter as professional and personable as Julia Dordoni. She created a reel of our entire wedding along with the process of painting the final masterpiece that now hangs in a frame in our living room. Julia exceeded our wildest expectations when it comes to a painting. If you are looking for professionalism, personableness and AMAZING talent then don't miss out on hiring Julia for your wedding. We will forever cherish our live painting and enjoyed having Julia present for our entire event.

First dance portrait with our family

Julia is absolutely incredible. The heart and soul she put into our painting was felt through her work. Her piece for us is absolutely perfect. We both deeply thank you for your dedication and extremely hard work on on this piece. Julia has immense talent and this painting will forever hold a profound feeling of love. She captured the energy and spirit of our day so perfectly. Having my mom (who has passed) in this painting means so incredibly much. Something we can never truly thank you enough for. We are so beyond touched. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely wonderful!

When planning our wedding, My husband and I were torn between hiring a wedding photographer and a wedding painter for quite a while. However, once I found Julia's Instagram page of previous wedding paintings, I knew we had to reach out ASAP!
Hiring her to paint at our wedding was the absolute BEST decision. Julia truly captured the most beautiful day of our lives in a way that no video camera ever could.
The amount of color, detail, emotion, energy passion, talent and love shines through on the canvas more beautiful than we could have imagined. My husband and I are blessed to have had Julia create a piece of art that we will have and cherish the rest of our lives. Wherever the next chapter of life will take us, we will proudly display this painting from the day we promised each other, "always and forever."
Thank you so much to the Colorado Wedding Painter, Julia Dordoni!

Work of art!!

Vendor to vendor, we have the pleasure of working alongside many uniquely talented vendors. However, Julia Dordoni is in a league of her own! She created a gorgeous work of art in real time for the happy couple and guests to enjoy! It was brilliant and such a unique experience for all in attendance. If you are looking for a one of a kind experience that yields a beautiful painting you can admire for a lifetime, this is the way to do it! Julia is amazing!

Amazing Live Wedding Painter

I cannot say enough amazing things about Julia! We hired her as a live painter for our wedding in July of 2022 in Colorado. She is professional, friendly, and passionate! First, liaising with her via email and phone was easy. And, on wedding day she was SO friendly to our guests as many would stop by and chat with her while she painted a beautiful scene of us (bride and groom) with a mountain landscape.

Now, our painting hangs in our home and is a constant reminder of our favorite day - our wedding day! If you are looking for a live painter or some type of entertainment for your wedding day, book Julia! She is absolutely lovely.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
