About

On WeddingWire since 2022

Based in Medford, New Jersey, Julia Mooney Live Event Painter and Guest Illustrator acts as memorable wedding entertainment and custom keepsakes. Owner Julia has years of professional training, and plenty of experience painting live. She loves turning a couple's special moments into visual artwork. She specializes in acrylic paint on stretched canvas, showing off love and emotion in each brushstroke. For guest portrait sketches she works in watercolor.

Services Offered

Julia Mooney Live Event Painter and Live Guest Illustrator will arrive at the venue early to ensure plenty of time to set up her equipment and get a strong sense of the venue space. If you are having a live painting done, Julia will capture a quick photograph of your special moment as a reference for her painting. During your celebration, she will paint in front of you and your guests in a fun, non-intrusive manner while you enjoy your celebration to the fullest. Her fee range is $1695-$1995.

Julia also offers guest illustrations! Live guest illustrations (different than a live wedding painting on canvas) are 5x7" watercolor illustrations of your guests. They take an average of 5 min per guest and they are always a huge hit. Guests can take home their own original art to remember your big day forever! Included in your package is a custom bride and groom drawing that will be delivered after the wedding in a much more refined, detailed style. This allows for the couple to interact and be present on their wedding day with their guests! Her fee range for this is $395-$495/hr for a min of 4 hours.

Perfection!

Beautiful work, beautiful person, beautiful memories. I am so unbelievably grateful that the universe sent me the gift of Julia. I decided to book Julia’s services as a surprise gift for my then-fiance on our wedding day. Julia was a true joy to work with, especially given that we had the added element of keeping her a surprise. She coordinated with our venue directly and took my payments incrementally, so my husband wouldn’t notice the loss. I’ve attached the pictures here, but truly nothing does her artwork justice. HIGHLY recommend!

Julia is so wonderful to work with, we love our painting!

Julia helped me surprise my soon to be wife on the day of our wedding with her services as a wedding gift. She was so easy to work with in planning, super responsive, and the value for her services and talent beats anyone else in he industry. Our guests were enamored with how quickly and efficiently she worked throughout the night, and she did such a great job capturing our moment and the beauty of our venue. We got married in an aquarium and she captured the ambience, the lighting, and the floor-to-ceiling tanks perfectly and even a nice big shark in the background. She even took the time to capture our custom monogram being projected on the wall and the detail was awesome.

She helped to take our night to the next level and when the painting was revealed to us on the floor at the end of the night the reaction of my new wife was worth it all. It's definitely something we can't wait to frame and cherish in our future home forever.

Thanks Julia!

Gorgeous guest illustrations!

Julia did guest portraits for our wedding, and her artwork came out amazing! Our guests LOVED them. I even had a friend who asked for her contact info...and she's not even engaged yet! Julia is super sweet, and her guest portraits are a unique and memorable way to capture our wedding.

It was a splurge for us, but worth every penny. If you're undecided, I definitely encourage you to go for it. Julia, thanks for sharing your talent with us!

My team is me :) I take so much pride in my work - there's no way I will leave you with a sub-par painting. I was formally trained when I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design back in 2005. Since then I have painted professionally and taught art! My personal oil paintings have won several awards, and my commissions can be found all over the country. I know my reputation is everything, so I make sure to be as professional as possible at all times. I have 2 kiddos and a husband I've been happily married to since before live wedding painting was a thing!
