    Outstanding!

    This was surprise wedding gift to my husband, and he loved it! The painting came out excellent and it was a fun treat for the guests as well. The process was easy and the out come was lovely! I had Andy keep it a secret for the whole process, so my husband had no idea until he entered the reception!

    One of the best parts of our Wedding

    Our experience with Andy was truly wonderful and beyond 5 stars! I had always hoped to have a live painter at our wedding and my husband loved the idea. I found Andy’s website and fell in love with her work! Throughout this whole process Andy was incredible! She really took the time to get to know mine & my husband’s story. She was so sweet and easy to talk to. She made sure to know the details of our wedding, and our family and friends. This way on our wedding day, she was able to truly capture those people and details. I wish I could have given her more of my time on our actual wedding day but as the bride I was being pulled away way more than I anticipated. However Andy was so understanding. Everyone who got to see her painting, came up to me to saying how impressed they were. Our photographer and her worked together when she was done, to reveal the painting to my husband and I. They captured the moment we saw it for the first time and I was instantly in tears! It was beautiful and Andy caught the perfect moment and the details I told her were important to us. After it was finished, we received so many compliments! This painting is so special to us, we are hanging it over our fireplace and it will be a cherished item we keep forever. We couldn’t recommend Andy enough, and anyone who has the pleasure of working with her will be more than happy!

    Beautiful painting that I will cherish forever!

    Andy created the most special painting for me and my husband's wedding. It is amazing the level of detail she is able to include in such a short period of time, and all of my wedding guests loved being able to check on how the painting was coming along. It was a truly unique experience, and I feel so blessed to have this painting to pass down to my kids and grandkids someday. Andy picked a moment to paint that captured the joy and love that we felt and I couldn't love it any more! Thank you, Andy!

    Simply Amazing

    If I could give Andy 10 stars on this review I would! The entire process leading up to the wedding day was seamless. I knew I wanted a live painter for my wedding but didn’t know much besides that and Andy was able to help guide me through the process to figure out what I wanted. The day of she created something so amazing for me and my husband that I could have ever imagined that I will have forever. Andy is so professional and personable, my guests loved that they were able to go and watch her create the painting during the reception and are still talking about it a month later.we just brought our painting to a framer so we will be able to hang it in our future home and think of that special moment everyday when we pass by thanks to Andy! I truly cannot recommended Andy and Celebration painting enough you will not be disappointed!

    We hadn’t such a wonderful experience with Andy! From the first time we met it felt she got the elements that were important to capture and the final product is truly beautiful and such a special, great piece!

    Andy is great to work with. After the wedding when I saw the final picture there were somethings I wanted to change for various reasons and Andy had no problem making those changes if anything she was really supportive and understood why I wanted the changes made. She was so happy to work on the piece again. The final piece is absolutely perfect and it is hanging on the wall for everyone to see!!!!! I liked how it came up that I am in the process of making another painting with Andy!!!! Thank you so much Andy!!!!

    About 1.5 years later, we still look at our painting in awe. Andy was able to capture such a beautiful moment and paint it with no time to spare! All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how the live painting added a great touch to the wedding. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Andy because of all the wedding craziness, but she was incredibly responsive through the whole process. I highly recommend going the extra inch to hire Andy for your wedding! It adds pure elegance and uniqueness, and people will not forget it!

    A year later and we are still so happy we had Andy live paint our event. It was a unique experience for our guests to watch and for us to have to an oil painting of our special day. She took the style preferences we had based on her previous works and without further micromanagement she made a beautiful painting that showed the feeling of our first dance. Andy was professional, fun and easy to work with. Our painting still hangs above our mantle! If we had to do it over again, we would! Her work was worth the price and (minimal) effort to set up.

    Andy was amazing! We had our wedding at the Garden City Hotel on Long Island and she was so kind to take the trip to be a part of our day. My husband and I were very particular on the type of painting we wanted, and Andy was so kind to make sure she painted it exactly as we wanted. People were floored at how wonderful the painting came out. We now have it framed in our dining room. It is a wonderful conversation piece! We have referred Andy to numerous others who were just as happy with her work! Hands down one of the best decisions we made having a live painter at our wedding!

    We love the painting and will have it as a cherished keepsake forever. Our guests loved watching the life painting too, it looks so well done, and nearly everyone who visits our home now sees it and what’s to talk about it! Very professional, super easy, and well worth it. Thank you!

    My parents hired Andy to paint our ceremony as a surprise gift to me and my husband on our wedding day! All I can say is Andy is so tremendously talented!! I can't believe the level of detail she put into the artwork and how beautiful it turned out. And it was so cool that all of our guests could walk by and watch her finish the painting during the reception. My mother has nothing but wonderful things to say about their communication prior to the wedding. Andy has given us such a wonderful, unique keepsake for the rest of our lives and I'm truly grateful.

    We hired Andy to attend and paint our wedding reception. We are extremely happy with her work. She was very friendly, professional and flexible. Our wedding guests enjoyed chatting with her while she painted, and everyone was so excited to see her reveal the final painting at our breakfast the following day. We would absolutely recommend her to family and friends.

    Excellent live wedding artist!

    We loved Andy’s work so much ( from another friend who used her!) that we commissioned her for not only one wedding but TWO! Having both stepdaughters getting married within months of each other and both destination weddings had a lot of intricate and moving parts! Just one part of what Andy does is meet with the couples and get their input on what THEIR vision is of what the want the painting to represent from their special day. She tends to all the details as well as travel arrangements, etc. During the actual wedding she is always there but you would never know it! She is so professional in her rapport with wedding guests when necessary but also very self sufficient in setting up her “stage” for what she wants to accomplish. She is VERY easy to work with and down to earth with a calm manner when a wedding day can be quite stressful of course! We would hire her again in a second.. and the paintings?? I cannot even put into words what she captured to make these family heirlooms. They are everything and more of what we were hoping for! And the guests really enjoy watching her paint live during the reception filling in the painting with such detail ( even down to the shoes people have on!) Andy is a MASTER of her talent and it translates in every possible way! We cannot thank her enough!
