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 $2400-$2995.

Unlike many other artists, she does not charge for different size canvases (you choose what works for you!) and she always finishes her work at the event, making it a true live creation.

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 $425-475/hr for a min of 4 hours.
