About this vendor

My name is Kate Scrivner, and I am a live wedding painter based in Charleston, South Carolina. I travel all over the world painting couples in love on the happiest day of their lives! I have a deep love and passion for painting and for relationships.

Live wedding painting will add a unique element of entertainment for you and your guests to experience on your wedding day. You will also go home with a one-of-a-kind, family heirloom that will be passed down for generations to come. I am thrilled that you are considering having a live wedding painter on your special day; you deserve it! I can't wait to hear about your dreams for your big day and for your live wedding painting.

On your wedding day, I will arrive a few hours early to set up and begin on the background. I will paint throughout your event (typically 5-7 hours), capturing the special moment of your choice. Leading up to your wedding day, we will discuss ideas, and I will find out exactly what you are envisioning for your painting. You and your guests can watch the process unfold throughout the night, and we will have a fun reveal at the end of the night. Depending on the size of the painting, the piece is typically completed by the end of the wedding!

Traveling from the heart of Charleston, South Carolina, Kate Scrivner Art is a talented and professional painter here to make your wedding last a lifetime.

My Favorite Vendor

Kate is the most perfect vendor I could have ever asked for. The painting that she is capable of making in a few hours is such a beautiful treasure that I can’t wait to have forever. Kate is super personable and loves to put so much detail into anything you could possibly want. She painted my brother’s wedding, my wedding, and is going to paint my cousin’s wedding next year. I could never recommend enough getting Kate as a live painter!

Best Wedding Vendor!!!

Kate was, hands down, our favorite vendor throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was responsive, thoughtful, and so kind every step of the way. It truly felt like having a friend by my side. Our painting is nothing short of breathtaking and is beyond anything we could’ve imagined. Kate is unbelievably talented. She asked thoughtful questions, patiently listened as I shared my vision, and captured the moment so beautifully!! All of our guests LOVED watching her do her work throughout the night! If you’re thinking about hiring a live painter, stop thinking and just book her. She’s a dream to work with, and her work is something you’ll treasure forever.

Best wedding painter

Kate is FANTASTIC!!! We absolutely love our wedding painting and will cherish it forever - reliving the memories of the day and the love we felt. Kate is unreal talented, the painting captures us and the day beautifully. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Our guests LOVED watching her finish the painting at our reception! They still talk about it to this day! Several of our guests asked us for her contact information immediately after our wedding for their own. Kate is also the kindest individual, professional, responsive, and takes away stress from a busy planning time. Couldn’t recommend her more. Best decision we made. Thank you, Kate!!!

10/10 would recommend!!!!

We were so lucky to have Kate Scrivner paint our wedding, and the piece she created of our first kiss is absolutely breathtaking. The level of detail she captured is incredible, and she somehow managed to bottle up the exact feeling of that moment in paint.

Beyond her talent, Kate is just such a kind, genuine person. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, warm presence to our day. She was so sweet to our guests, so professional, and truly felt like part of the celebration.

I can’t recommend her enough to any couple looking to have their love story captured in the most unique and meaningful way. Her work is something we’ll treasure forever.

Live Painting

We had Kate at our wedding on 5/3/25. I talked to her on the phone 2 times before the wedding and texted her a couple of times up until the day of. She was so sweet and very professional with every talk I had with her, she was truly a delight to have. The entire night of the reception, watching her paint gave me so much joy and so much joy to our guests! They couldn’t believe at how good of a job she was doing and to see the finished product, it was amazing!!! I have our painting hanging in the living room of our home, and I love to be able to look over at it! It is so beautiful and always a conversation starter when people come over! Everyone always love it and we get so many compliments!!! I 100% recommend having Kate for your live wedding painter!!!

Absolutely incredible experience and one of our favorite parts of the day!

Hiring Kate as our live wedding painter was easily one of the best decisions we made for our big day. She was everything we could have hoped for and more! From the very beginning, she took the time to walk us through what everything would look like and made sure she fully understood our expectations. Her professionalism, warmth, and sweet personality instantly put us at ease!!

Throughout the night, our guests were mesmerized by watching her paint. It truly added a magical and elegant touch to the evening. She graciously answered questions and chatted with family and friends while continuing to work on our painting, which made the experience even more special and interactive. So many guests raved about her and have since asked for her contact information!

The finished piece is absolutely stunning and the perfect way to memorialize our special day. It’s now one of our most treasured keepsakes. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Kate is an amazing painter and friend. She is so kind and professional. She always has a smile on her face. Her paintings are beautiful. She was one of the biggest hits at my wedding. She always had a crowd around her to watch her paint during the reception. So many of my guests have complemented her and her work to me. I was so happy to have Kate be apart of my wedding experience, and I’m left with a gorgeous memento of my favorite day!

Thank you, Kate!!!!

We found Kate through Instagram, and it was the happiest connection! She was so kind, professional, and gave so many options to make our painting feel like “us.” We got married at a venue called The Butterfly Pavilion, so she hid a little monarch butterfly in the painting for us! After an initial call to make sure Kate had availability on our wedding day, she followed up as the day got closer and answered any questions that came up via email. I felt so confident that she knew the flow of our day and would have what she needed to do her work. Our painting was so beautiful and perfectly captured our likeness. Kate was the talk of the night and we’ve already given her information to half a dozen of our guests! Everyone who has visited our apartment in the weeks since the wedding stops and stares in awe at our gorgeous portrait. I cannot recommend Kate highly enough! Thank you, Kate!!!!

Wedding painting

Kate was one of my absolute favorite parts of my wedding. She was so kind and easy to communicate with. She was very responsive and made sure that all details were ironed out in advance. I knew after our final phone conversation before the wedding that she knew exactly what I wanted and she did not disappoint. My guests were in awe watching her slowly paint a picture perfect scene from our big day! We were able to take our painting home the night of our wedding and it immediately went on the wall in our bedroom. It brings me joy every single time I see it! The only mistake you can make when planning your wedding is not hiring Kate!!
