About

Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, Lauren OBrien offers live painting services for weddings and other special occasions. This engaging experience offers a unique way to commemorate the beauty of your milestone day. Artist Lauren is honored to help couples document their special day, and is especially passionate about painting in front of a live audience. She is open to travel for destination weddings.

Services Offered

Lauren OBrien is happy to meet for an initial consultation before the day itself to go over the details, like what you want her to paint and your preferred color palette. Lauren arrives several hours before the event begins to get set up. She uses this time to sketch the layout of the event space before guests start to arrive. Lauren chooses a specific moment from the day to commit to canvas and will add to it throughout the day. Once the celebrations have drawn to a close, she'll bring the painting back to her studio for any finishing touches.

Hire her!

Lauren created something that I only imagined in my head! She painted the MOST BEAUTIFUL art at my wedding! From myself having no experience, she helped me go through every detail that I may would have wanted in my art piece. She asked and answered all the questions, had the best communication, was very punctual, and honestly had the best personality! She even frames the art for you!! I could not have imagined having any other artist at my wedding! Thank you Lauren!!!

Live Wedding Painter

Lauren was amazing. I wanted to surprise my son and his bride with a live painter for their reception. I contacted Lauren and I knew this was exactly what I was looking for. She met me ahead of the ceremony and found out some details about the couple. She contacted the wedding planner so she could pull off the best surprise. The painting was a perfect representation of the day and much more the we could have ever imagined. So Thankful for her and her incredible talent!!

Wonderful Wedding Watercolor

We hired Lauren to do a live painting at our August 2020 wedding. Unfortunately with travel restrictions related to the pandemic, she was unable to travel to our wedding. She went above and beyond to work with us. She offered to refund our deposit or do a watercolor of one of the photographs. We sent her one of our wedding photographs and she created a beautiful watercolor painting from it.

Lauren is friendly, personable, and so easy to work with. We received the painting in a timely manner. It is beautiful and we have it on display in our house. We absolutely love it and get so many compliments on it.

Best Decision on a Vendor We Ever Made

One word - WOW! I first came across Lauren through a friend because of her incredible pet painting talent. After looking at all of her amazing pet paintings I saw she was starting to dip her toes in weddings and thought how unique, interactive and gorgeous would this be to have. Well....IT IS and you won't regret it or working with Lauren! She was very communicative from the start of the process through the end and was genuinely so excited to paint our day. She was a great listener on hearing final product vision in terms of colors, what was captured etc, but took her creativity and incredibleness and made it SO much more. Our wedding guests were in awe the entire night at watching her talent and the progress from blank canvas to nearly completely captured in just a short period of time. After not even considering doing this the first year planning our wedding and having another year with Covid, booking Lauren should have been a top vendor for me and I am SO glad we did. No regrets and was easily one of the best choices we made because of the timeless and unique gift we will now have!

Stunning Painting Created by a Wonderful Human

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Lauren and the painting she created at my wedding in May of 2021! I decided to hire Lauren after reading a post in a local wedding Facebook group. I had been considering hiring a live wedding painter for a few months when I happened upon her post. I love art, and Lauren’s style of painting drew me in immediately. She exceeded every expectation I had for the wedding! Since my ceremony was taking place at a Church and my reception was taking place at another location, Lauren and I decided on having her paint our first dance. When discussing the painting with our venue, we decided the best place to have Lauren set up would be right next to our sweetheart table, where she would have the perfect view of the dance. It was amazing to have her so close to us, where we could watch the evolution of the painting throughout the night and where so many of our guests were able to see her and interact with her. She was such a joy to have at our wedding and we loved getting to watch her paint and talk with her throughout our day. Of course, the best part was the painting itself - it is stunning and absolutely priceless. It captured our day and our first dance perfectly. It is currently hanging at the entrance of our house, where I can see it every time I walk through the door. We ended up commissioning a painting of my bouquet as well, which is also absolutely beautiful. I truly cannot recommend Lauren enough for your wedding or event – she brings such a positive attitude and energy, and her work is stunning. So many of my guests commented on how much they loved her and the painting. Lauren and the painting she created was one of the best parts of our wedding, and I cannot thank her enough for her hard work, enthusiasm, and talent. If I could give her more than five stars, I would. Thank you, Lauren!
