The best decision we made for our wedding - an outstanding live wedding painter!

There are truly no words to describe how happy we are that we chose J Laurence Art for our live wedding painting. Jessi's work is some of the best we have ever seen and we are so lucky to have found her. She captured every aspect of our wedding that we hoped for and then some. Not only did we end up with a breathtaking wedding painting, but we also got to work with an extremely professional, caring, and reliable person. We hope to work with Jessi again in the future and recommend J Laurence Art a thousand times over!

Our guests’ favorite part of the wedding!

Jessi captured our wedding day even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined! She was a surprise for our guests, most who had never heard of or seen a live wedding painter. They were simply entranced with her the enter time and she provided amazing entertainment for them as they watched her create art! She is the number one thing from our wedding that guests will not stop talking about - we are SO glad that we had her there!

Talented Live Painter!

Jessi is an absolutely amazing artist. She captured our day beautifully and the painting is so realistic! Our guests enjoyed watching her process from start to finish and we loved her time lapse video of the project after the wedding. She was also very easy to work with leading up to the day. We will treasure the painting forever!

The Most Special Surprise Ever

I surprised my husband by hiring Jessi to paint our first dance, live at our wedding! This turned out to be the greatest gift we could have ever asked for. We were married at The Baltimore Museum of Art, so having a live painter really tied into our theme. Our guests had never seen a live painter before, and they were absolutely blown away! I continue to receive compliments on how cool it was that we had a painter, and how talented Jessi is! My husband and I are so in love with our painting and we can't believe how realistic it looks. Jessi did a phenomenal job. She was amazing to work with -- responsive, kind, and enthusiastic. I would recommend Jessi to anyone wanting to make their day that much more special! We look forward to passing this painting down in our family as an heirloom and treasuring it forever.

Beyond amazing

Jennifer was beyond amazing! Our live painting came out so pretty. It was tough chosing a live wedding painter as a lot of them the people painted were often odd looking not quite true to real life. One of my favorite parts about Jennifer is she's able to capture a more true look of whoever she's painting. There wasn't a single guest that didn't love watching her paint. People are still talking about how cool and nice the painting came out. I honestly couldn't recommend her enough she was great to work with

Jessi is a phenomenal live wedding painter!

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how talented Jessi is. If you’re looking for a live wedding painter, we highly highly recommend Jessi. I think she left every single one of our wedding guests speechless as she was painting our first dance all night. So many of our guests came up to us to say how incredible the painting was coming out and how it looked exactly like my husband and I. Some of my guests are still raving about it 3 months later to us! Pictures and videos are great to have, but having a painting is so so special and a great addition to our living room, I literally stare at it in awe all the time. Jessi was extremely responsive the whole process and easy to work with. Our wedding was in Rhode Island and she traveled to us. The finished canvas was done in under 2 months and shipped to us very securely. You seriously cannot go wrong with having Jessi as your live wedding painter!

One of the best parts of our wedding day and memories

My husband and I made the last minute decision to have a live wedding painter and it was one of the best decisions we made. Jessi was easy to work with before the day, was extremely personal and professional throughout the day, engaged well with our guests, and the final piece is something that we look and and love everyday. If you even have a inkling of a thought for a live wedding painter, go with Jessi!

Best surprise ever

WOW! When I saw a live painter on TikTok I knew I wanted one at my wedding. I started looking for local artists and Jessi and her work absolutely blew me away. I reached out to her and almost booked her when my husband stepped in and said we needed to cut back somewhere and this was the place. HOWEVER, little did we know, my sister had seen a live painter on TikTok and looked into local live painters and found Jessi. My sister and parents were also blown away by Jessi’s work and hired her as a surprise. If multiple parties trying to hire Jessi for the same event doesn’t speak to her talent, I don’t know what does! Per my sister and parents and coordinator, Jessi was super accommodating and easy to work with. She was the most complimented part of our wedding day and for months after, our guests kept saying what an awesome addition Jessi was to our reception. The painting is a perfect portrayal of our first dance and actually looks like us! The turn around time on the canvas was so fast and we couldn’t believe how quickly we received the finished product. We get compliments every time people come into our home on the painting. We can’t thank Jessi enough! Additionally, two friends of ours have hired her for their weddings too after seeing her work! Don’t hesitate and book Jessi immediately!

Hire Her - You won’t regret it!

Jessi was absolutely incredible. Very easy to work with in advance and coordinate with the day of the wedding. She showed up on time, did all of her pre work with the venue and then did an amazing job capturing our first dance. Our guests loved watching her work and interacting with her. She captured our moment perfectly and now we have the greatest keepsake of the day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
