Highly recommend

Trisha is an incredible painter, and was so friendly and easy to work with. The painting that she created for us is something we will always cherish. Our friends and family absolutely loved the concept of it and were blown away by her talent. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the painting and we can't stop looking at it! It is so detailed - even down to the sparkles on the dress. Truly a masterpiece. Thank you Trish for sharing your talents with us!

Best Part of Our Wedding

We had Trish at our wedding on 2/15/2020 at Journeyman Distillery. She was truly the highlight of our wedding. People loved watching her paint throughout the night. I can't tell you how many people came up to me during the wedding to tell me how beautiful the painting was and how cool the concept is. Our painting is now hanging in our living room and is our favorite keepsake from the wedding. Trish was professional, communicative, and wonderful to work with. I cannot recommend her enough.

Trish flew in for our wedding in Minnesota last weekend. We could not recommend her more. When you are wedding planning it is hard to chose what to cut and what to splurge on and we are so beyond greatful we chose to have her! Going back we would have cut just about any other area to be able to have the painting! I am not sure if there was a guest who didn't rave about the painting and people still are! Trish was so friendly to everyone watching and it was truly the highlight of our wedding! My only regret is not having her paint the ceremony too!!

Outstanding work! I had so many family members and friends come up to me during/after the wedding to tell me how much they loved the painting and loved watching her paint it. The canvas looks beautiful hanging up in our house, and it's a great way to capture great memories.

By far the most talked about aspect of our wedding! Trish is incredibly talented, professional, and easy to work with. It was fantastic to see the painting come together throughout the evening. Plus it is STUNNING! It's proudly hanging in our foyer today!

We had Trish paint at our wedding this past weekend and absolutely loved her! The painting came out AMAZING, our guests were complimenting it all night! It was surreal how she captured all of the details from the venue to the centerpieces to us! I thought this was just such a beautiful thing to have on your big day and would absolutely recommend her to EVERYONE. I can not wait to put up the masterpiece in our home!

Definitely one of the best decisions we made!! Having a live event painter at my wedding has been on my “ultimate dream wedding” list since I learned what a live event painter was, before I even met my husband. I made peace with the fact that if I could even find one, they would be way too expensive. Wrong! Trish has a personal policy of being affordable, and it literally made a dream of mine come true. Trish and her wonderful painting ended up being the talk of the wedding. She’s so sweet and so humble, and her talent is amazing. How many people can walk into an event, with so much going on, and paint a beautiful scene within a few hours? It’s such an amazing gift and now we get to keep that beautiful painting in our home!

Trish the Live Event Wedding Painter is incredible!! Booking her to paint at our wedding on 8/16/14 was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! She spent the entire evening perfectly crafting a beautiful painting capturing our first dance. She spent a significant amount of time on it and did not leave until she had it perfect! It served as great entertainment for our guests. It was so fun for us as well as our guests to observe her paint and see the painting evolve and then for us to receive the finished masterpiece at the end. EVERYONE raved about her and we are still getting tons of compliments on it! Trish is incredibly talented and working with her was truly a pleasure and her service is a really great value. We can’t thank her enough for our beautiful, one-of-a-kind, everlasting memory that we will treasure forever!

Trish,

The painting you created at our wedding was incredible. I am speechless at how you were able to capture our day so perfectly. My husband and I can't stop staring at this amazing work of art. You are incredibly talented and I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to have you at our wedding. Thank you so much.

A wonderful touch to our wedding!!

Trisha was very talented, artistically incorporating many of our wedding elements in the painting (even if it wasn't directly within the shot). Our guests enjoyed watching her paint while socializing with her. There were so many positive comments about what a treat it was to have her there, painting live. Initially, she was difficult to connect with, but once we established contact, she was a delight to work with. Having her at our wedding will always be a core memory of the day, and we cannot wait to hang our beautiful memento in our new home!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
