A great addition to your event!

We absolutely loved having Ulysses at our wedding! He was so easy to work with and made the process seamless. Our guests really enjoyed watching him paint throughout the night, and the big portrait reveal was so fun! Our wedding portrait is now a forever family heirloom. Thank you, Ulysses!

Our Favorite momento of the day

Last minute we were referred to Ulysses by our coordinator as a fun and unique add on to our wedding. She shared that she had enjoyed working with him in a previous wedding and that he created a unique and beautiful product. I mentioned it to my fiance and he was definitely interested but had some questions. Ulysses was able to speak with me to answer all of them and was really kind and professional. He was able to meet with us the day before our wedding and get an idea of the venue and where to paint. He was a guest favorite and so much fun to work with! Our guests repeatedly mentioned how they enjoyed watching him work and what a special service he provided. The unveiling was such a treat! My husband loves our painting above everything from that day and it hangs in our livingroom. Thank you for an outstanding service, being so pleasant, and making such a special memory for us. I highly recommend him and this wonderful service.

Great Painter!! Cannot Say Enough Great Things!

Ulysses and his team are absolutely spectacular. They made our special night even more perfect than it already was with a great painting to remember it by. He’s extremely kind and well worth hiring. Would recommend whole heartedly to anyone looking to commission a wedding painting.
