    Best live painter ever

    We found an absolute GEM when we hired Julia to do our live painting for our wedding in Estes Park, CO. My wife and I went back and forth on what to spend our wedding budget on and after nailing down the mandatory vendors we began looking things that we would be able to look back on and relive our special day over and over. We are so happy that we decided to go with a live painter as professional and personable as Julia Dordoni. She created a reel of our entire wedding along with the process of painting the final masterpiece that now hangs in a frame in our living room. Julia exceeded our wildest expectations when it comes to a painting. If you are looking for professionalism, personableness and AMAZING talent then don't miss out on hiring Julia for your wedding. We will forever cherish our live painting and enjoyed having Julia present for our entire event.

    Work of art!!

    Vendor to vendor, we have the pleasure of working alongside many uniquely talented vendors. However, Julia Dordoni is in a league of her own! She created a gorgeous work of art in real time for the happy couple and guests to enjoy! It was brilliant and such a unique experience for all in attendance. If you are looking for a one of a kind experience that yields a beautiful painting you can admire for a lifetime, this is the way to do it! Julia is amazing!

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Oh my gosh, thank you for this amazing review! I love my job, and I'm so happy that it shows while I'm in the zone! Thank you again, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again! xx

    First dance portrait with our family

    Julia is absolutely incredible. The heart and soul she put into our painting was felt through her work. Her piece for us is absolutely perfect. We both deeply thank you for your dedication and extremely hard work on on this piece. Julia has immense talent and this painting will forever hold a profound feeling of love. She captured the energy and spirit of our day so perfectly. Having my mom (who has passed) in this painting means so incredibly much. Something we can never truly thank you enough for. We are so beyond touched. Highly recommend!!!

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Hi Amanda! Thank you for your heartfelt message. It warms my spirit to read this. I'm so glad that your painting captures the energy and spirit of love for your family. It was my honor to make this perfect for you. Thank you again

    Absolutely wonderful!

    When planning our wedding, My husband and I were torn between hiring a wedding photographer and a wedding painter for quite a while. However, once I found Julia's Instagram page of previous wedding paintings, I knew we had to reach out ASAP!
    Hiring her to paint at our wedding was the absolute BEST decision. Julia truly captured the most beautiful day of our lives in a way that no video camera ever could.
    The amount of color, detail, emotion, energy passion, talent and love shines through on the canvas more beautiful than we could have imagined. My husband and I are blessed to have had Julia create a piece of art that we will have and cherish the rest of our lives. Wherever the next chapter of life will take us, we will proudly display this painting from the day we promised each other, "always and forever."
    Thank you so much to the Colorado Wedding Painter, Julia Dordoni!

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Thank you Dana for such a beautiful review! I am so happy to know that you love your painting! I hope it brings you back to your magical day each time you look at it. I can remember your wedding as if it happened today. It was a perfect sunny day, and you were a stunning bride

    Julia is amazing

    Julia was the most amazing addition to my brother’s wedding! I hired her as their surprise gift and they LOVED IT. She actually became a fan favorite of the entire reception too. Everyone was in awe of her work. She arrived early, worked tirelessly, and gave us an amazing memory we will never forget. THANK YOU! Will definitely be hiring her again in the future.

    Hire her! You won’t regret it

    Julia is one of the kindest people you will meet. She is also very professional and talented. We welcomed Julia at our wedding at the Dunafon Castle and she was a huge hit, at the end of the dinner she showed everyone her painting and we were in awe at her talent. She then took it home to add details. Hiring Julia was my idea and I am so glad we did! Her art piece hangs in our living room and it is a beautiful reminder of our special day. She heard my ideas and helped us feel apart of her creation as well. I wouldn’t hesitate hiring her. You won’t regret it!

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Megan you are so sweet!! Thank you so much!! I'll never forget the magic of your wedding. You truly were a princess! I actually have 4 stop motion videos of your painting from start to finish, which I haven't linked together yet.. but when I do, I'll send it to you so you can see your painting being created. Thank you again for your kindness, and I am so glad you love your painting! Even my mom says it is her favorite :)

    Amazing Live Wedding Painter

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Julia! We hired her as a live painter for our wedding in July of 2022 in Colorado. She is professional, friendly, and passionate! First, liaising with her via email and phone was easy. And, on wedding day she was SO friendly to our guests as many would stop by and chat with her while she painted a beautiful scene of us (bride and groom) with a mountain landscape.

    Now, our painting hangs in our home and is a constant reminder of our favorite day - our wedding day! If you are looking for a live painter or some type of entertainment for your wedding day, book Julia! She is absolutely lovely.

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Thank you so much Nicole for your kind review! I am so happy that you love your painting, and that my services met your expectations! I wish your family a long, beautiful and happy life. With best regards, Julia

    Highly Recommend!

    I am a wedding planner in Denver and I had the pleasure working with Julia for a wedding in Idaho Springs. Julia was prompt with her communication and arrived early to scope out the venue as it was her first time at the space. Julia was very professional and super engaging with the guests and couple. She did a beautiful live painting of the couple at the ceremony space. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again and would 10/10 recommend Julia to any of my couples!

    Incredible addition to a wedding

    We gifted Julia's Live Painting service as a wedding present for a family member. She was incredibly responsive and very easy to work with, both between us and the bride and groom as they worked with her to figure out how they wanted the day to be portrayed.
    Julia created a one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly reflected the wedding and incorporated the guests in a very unique way (they each got to paint a piece of the painting!) Though you would never know because the final product looked like it belonged in a gallery.
    I would recommend Julia to anyone and everyone.

    Thank you Michael for such a kind review! I am so glad your family is pleased with the results! It was a pleasure working with you all. Thank you so much, Julia

    Wedding Highlight! Guests Were in Awe

    Julia Dordoni painted our "first kiss" moment during our wedding ceremony at the Pinery at the Hill in Colorado Springs. This was a surprise to me from my husband, and it ended up being one of the best parts of the day! After the ceremony, Julia moved into our reception space to continue painting. Our guests loved getting to see her work as they ate dinner and danced. She was very communicative throughout the process and worked so hard to create a work of art. We now have our painting framed and hanging in our home. It's such a personal and unique reminder of our special day. We would highly recommend Julia!

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Hi Natalie! I am so glad you love your painting! It was my honor to capture your first kiss on canvas! I enjoyed every moment of your wedding, and each moment of perfecting your painting to my highest ability!
    You were a beautiful bride, and your family was a joy to work with. Thank you for your kind review. I'm so glad you cherish your painting in your home! Best wishes to you both

    Exceeded Expectations

    Julia was absolutely amazing! She was flexible with our wants and needs from the beginning. We had never worked with a painter before, so we were nervous that our ideas/visions wouldn’t work out. She exceeded our expectations, and created a piece of art that we never imagined receiving for ourselves. Not only was her work stunning, but she also completed our piece in half the time that she originally quoted us. We are so happy we went with her for our big day! We highly recommend her work to everyone out there.

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Thank you Mina for your sweet review! It was so fun doing your first dance painting. It pushed me beyond my comfort zone, since I normally do landscape weddings, but I'm so happy I was put to the test because I'm so happy with how this painting turned out, and I am proud to present it to you as soon as it's dry! Thanks so much :) Julia

    Hands down best thing we spent money on

    Let me put it this way, if I could do it all over again this is for sure the one thing I would without a doubt book again!!

    Julia was amazing!! Our friends and family loved watching her create our piece during our cocktail hour. She captured every tree and mountain and color so perfectly. Every time I look out our painting I feel like I am right there at the alter again and I get butterfly’s. We will truly treasure this forever. Worth every penny. It really is one of the only things you can take with you and hold onto forever. Seriously don’t think about it, you want one, you need one!

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Oh my, thank you Mallory for such a sweet review!! You are so kind and I am so glad you love your painting!! It was my honor to capture your wedding day. It seemed to be a perfect day - everything just fell into place, and capturing your love on canvas was literally like a fish swimming through water. The energy of your wedding translated itself easily onto the canvas, and I am so happy you can enjoy your painting in your home everyday!!

    Julia is Amazing

    Two words: Absolutely Wonderful. Julia is not only amazing to work with, but the painting we received was absolutely gorgeous. I’m honestly speechless. Julia puts time into your painting. She actually took our painting home and put so much time into it and added so much detail. For example, look at my dress in the picture I added. She produces quality work and at the same time is flexible, easy to work with, and super freaking nice. If you were looking to hire a live painter, choose Julia. You won’t regret it, I promise you.

    Phenomenal Painter

    Julia is absolutely phenomenal to work with and she is such a sweet human being! My husband and I initially booked Julia to paint our wedding live back before all of the COVID hoopla. She was kind and understanding when we needed to change our wedding date, but, even then the stay at home order prevented her from being able to come to our wedding and paint live. The order didn’t stop Julia from creating the most beautiful painting I could’ve ever imagined from photographs of our wedding. She coordinated the colors with my home decor, incorporated my husband’s favorite flowers, and kept us updated every step of the way. We are completely blown away by the final product; seeing it in person brought tears to my eyes. If you are considering a wedding painter, book Julia! ❤️

    Colorado Wedding Painter's reply:

    Thank you Jenny for the super sweet review 💜
    You have been a joy to work with, and I am so happy you have a keepsake you can cherish in your home everyday!
    I wish you and Jesse a beautiful life together 💕💜💕

    An excellent painter. Very easy to work with.

    Julia was the consummate professional, not to mention an amazing painter. She painted a picture of my daughter’s wedding which captured the love and happiness of this event. She demonstrated her talent at painting both scenery and people. Our guests raved about her. I highly recommend her to add a unique and special touch to your event and provide you with a lasting memory.

    Hi Rebecca! Thank you for your review!! I am so glad your family is happy with the painting and my services! What a perfect way to start off the new year!
