So Worth It!!

Having a wedding painter at my wedding was amazing! And having Linda as my wedding painter made it even more amazing! Her and my sister even made it even more special by adding my late father to the photo next to my mom. Everyone at the wedding was crying in such enjoy. She even added our dogs to the photo. The painting came out amazing and we look at it everyday to be reminded of our beautiful day!

The amazing Linda Marino

We had the pleasure of working with Linda Marino as our live painter for our wedding, and she was an absolute joy from start to finish! Linda was incredibly helpful when it came to organizing payments and even set up a convenient payment plan for us. She was always responsive to our questions and made us feel at ease throughout the process.
Not only was she friendly and professional, but she truly went above and beyond by including our parents, siblings, and pets in the painting. The attention to detail and care she put into her work was evident, and we’re so grateful for the beautiful keepsake she created. Linda’s talent and warm personality made her a standout vendor, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Amazing painter

Linda was at my wedding in August. Not only did all my guests love the live painting aspect of her work, but the painting itself turned out stunning. It is such a beautiful keepsake from our wedding and 100% worth every penny. Linda was also great to work with, she was communicative and so sweet.

A piece of our hearts now hangs on our wall

Words cannot describe the joy that having Linda paint at our wedding brought us. She is such a lovely and kind person, and conversations with her during the stressful planning time brought me so much happiness and peace. We wanted a painting that showcased our venue’s landscape, and Linda listened to our vision, making visits to our venue and pre-sketches before our big day. We could feel that she was just as excited as we were, as we were discussing the various possibilities for our painting. It was so fun imagining what the piece might look like, but the best part is you won’t really know what it looks like until that day. We had no idea we would do a dip in the rain and kiss under an umbrella, but there it was in our painting perfectiy captured. We also didn’t realize that the car we drove up in would park near the lighthouse, but there it is in our painting. The unexpected and unplanned details is what makes the painting so incredibly personal. You also can’t underestimate the energy a live painter can bring to a wedding - our guests were so amazed by Linda’s incredible talent as she painted live, creating something truly special for everyone involved. This is more than a painting to us, it’s become a piece of our hearts that hangs on our wall , perfectly reflecting the feelings of that day. Not only is the painting dear to us, Linda and her husband will forever be a cherished part of our special day. Every time we look at the painting, we are transported back to our very special wedding day. We can’t thank Linda enough!

Grateful we found Linda!

I decided to book a live wedding painter one week before the wedding, and boy am I happy I did, and specifically that I found Linda Marino. I knew that if we were going to do this, I wanted a true work of art that we would be proud to hang in our home forever. I knew I wanted an elevated, elegant, timeless piece of art- nothing that read 'caricature' or 'cartoon', but a gorgeous painting you might see at a gallery. Linda was on top of communication- I highly value responsiveness and being able to text/speak on the phone in a timely manner. We quickly got to discussing the details, and before I knew it, we contracted her. Linda begins her work before the wedding day, asking for photos of the couple and looking at photos of the backdrop so she can set herself up for success. That day, she came during wedding party photos to snap photos of me and my husband, and she set up and started working on the background. She stayed through the ceremony and until the end of the reception, working on the painting. Guests were blown away by her talent, and she graciously chatted with them while working. Unlike other wedding painters, who do what they can during the wedding and leave your painting with the couple that night, she takes it home, continues to work on it for many weeks to get it just right, varnishes it and mails it to you. I was in tears seeing it at the end of the night; I was speechless by how beautifully she captured our ceremony. It would have been amazing as is, but then seeing the final product weeks later was like reliving a dream. This was an investment in a piece of art that captured a special moment on our wedding day. Linda is unbelievably talented, professional, and clearly loves what she does - as evident by going above and beyond before, during, and after the wedding. I highly recommend couples book Linda to beautifully and magically capture this milestone in their lives while having a lovely, treasured keepsake for life.

Wonderful Live Painter!

Linda was amazing to work with. She was so sweet and always quick to respond. The scheduling and planning process was seamless. The final product was absolutely stunning. She also helped us with framing and shipped the painting right to our home. We are so happy we chose Linda as our live painter. Truly the perfect touch for the day and now we have this memory forever.

Best live wedding painter!

We are beyond happy with our decision to hire Linda to create a live painting of our wedding ceremony. She was very friendly and so easy to work with. Having a live wedding painter is such a unique experience and all our guests loved it. Even a month later when people talk about the wedding they mention how amazing she was! We also purchased a frame so that it would be ready to hang once we got it. I was at a loss for words when we got to see the final product. I hung it up immediately and still love to just walk by to look at it. I cannot recommend her enough!

Hire Linda, you will NOT regret it!!!

I’d like to start off by saying, I still stay in touch with Linda even after she hand delivered my amazing wedding painting that is how amazing this woman is.

Bringing entertainment at your wedding to the next level… soo many guests enjoyed watching Linda take a blank canvas to her finished masterpiece in 6-7 hrs is just amazing. Also, the fact that she takes time after the wedding to truly go into more details (faces, flowers, the movement of my dress in the wind) on the painting shows the perfectionist approach and skill level she has. She’s definitely a realist painter which is what I wanted. I didn’t want a cartoon/characteristic style I wanted it to look like a photograph and that is what I received!!

Linda was also able to accommodate my request to make her painting of us into our thank you note cards!!! So all the guests at the wedding was able to see the finished piece in my thank you notes!!! The fact that she was able to capture and paint our features that looked soooo real (I put pictures of how our faces look in this review so you can see how well she captured our features) — literally everyone coming into my house says they thought it was a photograph (her painting) just speaks volumes of how amazingly talented this woman is. I’ve been raving about her skills on various Facebook bridal groups because everyone should book Linda!!! I wished I could share her painting on this review.

Hire Linda, you will NOT regret it!!!

The BEST Addition to Our Wedding Day

Linda made my wedding so special! Her talent is one of a kind. She was able to capture our wedding day perfectly and made the entire process so fun. She painted our first dance and I swear she was able to capture more details than any of the photos did! After our wedding, my guests couldn't stop talking about her and how talented she was. My favorite thing is that she also let me and my husband paint too, it is such a special memory from our day!

Linda and her husband are the kindest people and the guests loved to talk to them. They both hand-delivered my painting after the wedding. Her professionalism AND big heart make Linda the best choice for any wedding day. Thank you Linda!!!
