Best added touch you’ll have forever!

Jacob was an incredible addition to our wedding! Our guests loved watching him paint throughout the night and the final piece perfectly captured our day in such a unique and special way. He was professional, talented, and so easy to work with we’ll cherish his painting forever. Highly recommend!

The most TALENTED artist!

I hired Jacob for my sister’s wedding to create a live painting of her and her husband’s first kiss, and WOW… easily the best money I’ve ever spent. Watching him paint in real time was incredible, but the final piece? Absolutely breathtaking. The level of detail, the emotion he captured, the way he brought the entire moment to life, it’s something our family will treasure forever.

Everyone at the wedding was blown away and kept talking about how amazing and unique it was. He was professional, warm, and so unbelievably talented. If you’re considering a live painter for your event, THIS IS THE ONE. Truly an unforgettable experience and a masterpiece we’ll keep forever. Highly, highly recommend!

Jacob is the best!

All we can say is WOW! Jacob is such an amazing artist and I was completely blown away at how he painted us so beautifully!! His passion for what he does is so evident in his work and leading up to the wedding day! Jacob really wanted to understand what we were looking for and he delivered that! I wanted something unique for our wedding and I could not have been happier with asking Jacob to be an addition to our wedding day. All of our guests were so impressed with his talents as they had never seen a live painter at a wedding before and what a great first impression he gave!!! Jacob is such a kind person and if anyone is looking for a live painter who has amazing painting skills and great communication throughout the process, Jacob Event Painting is who you want! I can not emphasize enough how in awe I am of his work. Thank you so much, Jacob! -Best, Mr. and Mrs. Navarrete

Jacob is amazing!!!!

Jacob did an amazing job on our painting for the wedding! My husband and I can't believe it only took 5 hours for Jacob to complete the portrait of us.

All the guests were so amazed by the live painting. This was one of the highlights of the night. We highly recommend booking Jacob to paint live at your wedding!

The best gift I have ever received

Jacob did a PHENOMENAL job! Every guest loved watching his progress while the wedding was going on, it was like a bonus show! I bought the largest canvas available on his website, and booked him for 4 hours. He captured me, my husband, and our daughter who was the flower girl. I recommend Jacob to absolutely everyone! I will cherish this forever.

Amazing Artist!

Jacob is an absolutely delightful and skilled artist! I was already impressed with his body of work prior to hiring him but it still did not prepare me for receiving the beautiful work of art he created for us on our wedding day! I lament that I did not get to see him work during the wedding because my guests could not stop gushing about how cool it was to see him turn a blank canvas into our amazing wedding portrait. I could not be happier with how our portrait came out and it is absolutely one of my favorite keepsakes from our big day. Thank you so much Jacob!

A Treasure!

Jacob did ad absolutely stunning job painting us at our wedding reception! We got married in a large, converted church that is nearly 200 years old, and he captured the lighting and the grandeur of the space perfectly. The likeness of my husband and I was spooky good, and everyone loved watching the painting progress as the night went on. He was a good communicator, polite, and produced a beautiful piece of art that now hands proudly in our home. Book him, book him, book him! Ditch the photo booth and go for a live painter!

An absolute joy to have as our wedding painter

If you are thinking of doing a live painter for your wedding DO IT AND HIRE JACOB! I am so glad we booked him for our wedding. Not only was it a really fun conversation pieces but I have this gorgeous painting of my new husband and I that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! Jacob was so wonderful, answered all mine and my mum in laws questions. He was prompt and professional when arrived at the ceremony and he walked up through the whole process. I cannot describe the feeling of seeing his work finished. It was this perfect moment forever captured as a beautiful piece of art. If you looking for a talent, professional artist for your wedding I highly recommend Jacob. He is worth every penny and I would book him again in a heartbeat.

Perfect addition to our wedding

Jacob was amazing to work with. He has such a fun personality and is extremely accommodating. He was reliable and responsive to all communication. Our wedding guests were mesmerized by his painting and the canvas hangs in our entry to our home. The art is beautiful and the perfect reminder of our beautiful wedding. We are so grateful to Jacob for making our special day even more amazing. If you’re wondering whether or not it’s worth it to get a wedding painter, absolutely do it! So glad we did. We have a keepsake that we can keep forever and our guests thoroughly enjoyed watching the painting come to life. Thank you Jacob!
