Our Guests Were Blown Away!!

I wasn’t sure what I thought would be a great wedding favor until I found Wild and Beautiful Art on wedding wire. Not only we were getting married in an art gallery, this service is completely unique. Brenda was very helpful in explaining her business and pricing. Guests were able to see her working, take photos for her to paint, and experience a one of a kind wedding favor. Her social media can highlight way better what it meant to our guests!

A Wedding Gift To Remember!

I honestly don't know where to start. Brenda not only made our wedding 10x more memorable, but our guests could not stop talking about her and her work. She is so professional and fun to work with! The memorial piece that she did for my husband and his late father was so incredibly emotional but in a good way. Do not hesitate to book her! She was an absolute hit at our wedding, and I am so glad we all got to experience her energy!

Incredibly memorable wedding favors from a lovely human!

Brenda was an exceptional add to our wedding and we could not more highly recommend booking her. She is extraordinarily talented -- her portraits reflect an incredible attention to detail, and our guests absolutely loved having this personalized favor from our big day! And she is FAST. She finished so many portraits on the wedding night, and we're looking forward to sending out the rest with our thank you cards. While Brenda's talent goes without saying, maybe the most special thing about her is that she is a lovely human being and exactly the type of person you want around on your wedding day. She brought an incredible love and energy to her craft, and made us and our guests feel so special. Many of our guests have asked for her info, and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for something special to add to their wedding day or other event!

Amazing keepsake for your guests

Brenda was an amazing artist painting for our wedding. This was a great way to have our guest take something away to remember our wedding day by. She was very responsive and was very professional. We loved that she was able to connect with some of our guests and were able to see a glimpse of all the photos during a highlight reel she made. We still get compliments from our wedding on the photos.

One of my favorite vendors!

We had an amazing experience working with Brenda for our wedding. Her paintings added a memorable and personal touch for our guests while also doubling as wedding favors! She was very communicative throughout the planning process and took the initiative to discuss things with our day of coordinator to alleviate my worries. I am definitely going to recommend her to all of my friends that are getting married soon!

Amazing live artist

Brenda is absolutely AMAZING at what she does! We hired her for our March wedding and we still have guests going out of their way to tell us how much they loved this experience. It truly is an unforgettable gift for your guests and worth every penny. We love you Brenda! And we will cherish all the moments she captured in her paintings for the rest of our lives!

I have never seen this before!! Wonderful idea!!

At my son and daughter in law's wedding, they were given paintings with their grandparents who all passed away. When I saw the paintings it left me speechless. I immediately recognized who they were and on top of the emotional sentiments, I saw the raw talent of the artist to be able to not only capture the people in the actual painting but also to pull at your heart in such an emotional way!! Then the same artist was doing paintings for the invited guests at the wedding and that was something I have never seen before. Apart from appreciating the art she also captures the essence of people without even including their faces and it is something you can really admire. I would love to recommend her to everyone!!
