Amazing Live Wedding Painting!

Lexie did such a beautiful job as a live wedding painter for our wedding! Our family and friends loved being able to watch the painting come to life during the reception. Lexie captured our day in such gorgeous detail.
Lexie's communication was clear and timely before the big day. She sent over a questionnaire for information on what I was envisioning and then we scheduled a time to do a quick Zoom to discuss the questionnaire and go over details. The process was easy and fast which was a relief between all the other things I had to get done for the wedding.
We received our painting right after we got back from our honeymoon and Lexie even hand delivered it to me! We love that we have something so beautiful to remember our special day.

Definitely hire her!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lexie- the wonderful illustrator at my bridal shower! She was truly the highlight of the day…so talented, warm, and such a joy to have there. Every single guest was amazed by her creativity and the personalized illustrations she created. It added such a unique and memorable touch to the event. People are still talking about it and how special it made the day feel. She made the day even more magical and then she sent these as a nice gift in the mail. She was able to get a huge amount of people done in a short period of time! Very happy with her services! I wish I could have won her giveaway for my wedding…still crying about it. (She does other giveaways too!!)

Beautiful art as always gift, provided by Lexie!


Lexie and her assistant were amazing! Our family gifted her services to the bride and groom for their wedding day! She provided the most beautiful art for each of our guests to take home as a gift from my daughter’s wedding! She also captured the most beautiful moment in their ceremony! She is currently working on a commission of the bride and groom as well! She was so proactive on our venue and anticipated exactly what we needed for the stipulations surrounding
Our Venue’s policy and restrictions!
She was in communication with my planner and myself in the best way!! We love her and highly recommend her beautiful service!

Fashionable Work of Art!

Having Lexie live illustrate at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It was such an amazing experience for our guests to be turned into a fashionable work of art. She arrived on time, was very flexible with our schedule and friendly. I highly recommend her light and airy watercolor style! Also, we were so glad we chose her due to wanting some facial details as most other live wedding illustrators did not add ANY facial details in their gallery! Her assistant interacted with our guests and took photos while she drew. She created about 55 images for us on site and we hired her to do the remaining ones after the wedding as favors!! You won't regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
