Breathtaking and worth every penny
Wow, so much to say about Janet and the painting she has created. I had two paintings, 1 of my husband and I, and the larger photo of our immediate family which included our two cats and my grandparents were are no longer with us. Absolutely breathtaking. The final product was everything and more. Janet responds immediately and provided so much support. The paintings were received and were wrapped and packaged so incredibly well. As soon as I received them , they both were hung in our home. Thank you Janet, such sentimental pieces and I am so grateful !J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:

Carolyn L. Sent on 03/15/2023Having a Live Painter Was The Best Decision We Made
Hiring Janet was the best decision we made. Out of all the vendors you hire for your big day, aside from photography - there is nothing else you can take back and keep forever... except this!! Not only does it hit the "wow" factor for your guests, but it also is live entertainment during your event and it is a unique snapshot in time that you can keep forever. Every guest could not stop talking about the live painting, and couldn't believe how spot-on everyone was represented in the painting.
Janet herself is so delightful to work with and talk to - I feel like I could talk with her forever. She is so incredibly talented, and we feel so honored to have an original work by her. She truly captured the essence and love of our first dance, and even represented those we love the most celebrating us in the background. She even added in people who could not physically be there with us - grandparents who have since passed, and even our fur-baby Arnie! She even brought the painting back home to add some final touch-ups since we had a lot of people in our painting. It was an amazing experience, and I am already hoping to get another custom piece from her in the future. If you're on the fence, JUST HIRE HER ALREADY!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
OMG! I love the pictures this one has attached! amaizing!
Dear Carolyn, Thank you so much for this amazing review!! Thank you for taking to heart so many of the things that I do make it extra special. Thank you for showing your gratitude in so many ways. I feel overwhelmed with gratitude to work with clients like you! You inspire me! Thank you. I'm wishing you and Marc lots of love and joy together!

I googled live painters and I came across a few but only picked one, Janet! She has an amazing hand, eye, and talent. She was able to paint our first dance at the wedding with a twist (having our parent dances in the background). It was a special gift for my husband representing the two people we hold close to our hearts, besides each other. She did a phenomenal job and I can’t wait to pick it up and hang it on our wall. Everyone, at the wedding and who weren’t commented on how beautiful and amazing the painting was. I definitely recommend Janet for your live painting needs! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Gabrielle! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was a pleasure working with you and understanding your vision. I think it made for a great, meaningful painting. You are an inspiration with your beauty, grace, and intellect. Thank you for choosing me! -

Beautiful work and our guests loved it!
Janet was absolutely amazing! Not only is she extremely talented, but she is also so kind and cares about her clients. I enjoy painting in my free time, so I had a very specific image and style in mind that I wanted. When I found Janet's profile, I knew her style was exactly what I was looking for - she captures beautiful details and has an impressionist style. Her price was also very reasonable compared to other painters I reached out to. When I spoke with Janet on the phone, I instantly clicked with her. She completely understood my vision, offered great suggestions, and captured it better than I could have imagined. I initially booked a live painter mainly because i wanted a keepsake after the wedding. Not only did she deliver on that front, but she left my guests in awe! They really loved watching her paint - I had guests tell me they never saw a live painter before and thought she was the coolest vendor. She was stationed next to the main bar, so it gave our guests who weren't dancing something to enjoy watching and talk about. At the end of the night, Janet brings the paintings home to touch them up, but she accomplished so much during the night that everyone was able to see the progress and her talent. My husband was on the fence about booking a live painter because of the cost, but he now agrees it was 100% worth it. We were so happy with the final product, her work during the night, and her continued attentiveness and assistance even after our wedding was over. I would recommend Janet to any couple! -

Talented & Timeless!
Janet was seriously one of our best wedding vendors! She was so great to work with and provided us with the most perfect, timeless painting of our day. She was incredibly accommodating from allowing us to have a back-up option of our first dance in the event it rained during our ceremony and even provided the convenience of letting us pick the painting up from her before she worked another wedding on Long Island. Her talent really speaks for itself. Every detail on the painting was included from our little ring bearer to the beautiful sunset we had. Pictures of the painting are beautiful but in person it's truly breathtaking! Our guests LOVED watching the painting transform throughout the night and we've had so many people be like "OMG I made it into the painting" or "where did you find such a talented artist and unique wedding addition"! If you're thinking of doing a painting for your wedding, do it with Janet! You're in the best of hands. I hope we're able to work with her on other paintings in the future!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Thank you for this heartwarming review!!! I am humbled and filled with gratitude for the experience of working with you both. Thank you for trusting in the creative process and including me in your most special, beautiful day!!! -

Timeless Memory
We absolutely love our painting from our wedding day. Every time I look at it, I can picture everything about that moment - it's perfectly preserved for us. I look at our painting, and I can remember the way I felt, the way the room was lit by candles, the smell of cedar, excitement and love. It was also a treat to watch the painting progress throughout the night. At dinner, we were seated across from where Janet was working and each time we looked up, something new was added - like our dog Simba. The transformation was incredible to witness. The people in the painting came to life - and each of their personalities were brought onto the canvas. Janet even included my grandfather who had passed away along with my grandmother who could not attend because of Alzheimer's. She painted them both in the way that I choose to remember them by. We also benefited from having touch-up's added to our package. I was kicking myself after our wedding for just including family members and not my childhood best friend who is basically a sister. When we included touch-ups, adding additional people was not at all what I had in mind. So I am very glad we did this. It was also nice because at the end of the evening, we were not responsible for taking the painting safely home. This is something we will never forget. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made. We will cherish this forever. Janet, thank you for being a part of our wedding day memories. We can't thank you enough.J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Dear Stephanie,
Thank you for this wonderful, thoughtful review. It was wonderful to be a part of your unique wedding. I love that you included the details about including you grandparents, best friends and dog. I’ll add that Stephanie’s painting was the first painting I have done of a couple playing a duet together at a piano. I’m so pleased that you both are so happy with the painting and the experience!
Thank you again! -

Shannon Sent on 12/30/2021Vendor to remember!
The one thing that will stand out 50 years from now is how I felt seeing the painting come to life. I couldn’t believe how much the paintings look like us. It even FELT like us! The poses she captured at the church and reception are what I think about when I think about our day. Not only did she paint us to perfection, but she was able to capture THE moment to do so! It’s truly a remarkable piece of art to have for a life time not to include the overall excitement it adds to the day. Everyone enjoyed watching her work and still talks about it! They were so impressed as are we. Janet was also such a pleasure to work with. So down to earth, talented, and personable. Would 10/10 times would recommend using her! This is a wedding “vendor” you don’t want to skip! -

A wedding must
Janet is extremely talented and very personable and interactive with guests. We absolutely love the detail in our painting. She was also able to create thank you cards for our guests with her painting, which are a nice touch for guests. I cannot recommend Janet enough!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Thank you for this amazing review! I loved every minute of painting at your wedding and am thrilled that you are happy with the notecards too!

Run, don't walk, to Janet!
Janet is the absolute best! My husband and I recommend her with such great enthusiasm and cannot speak highly enough about her!
Not only is Janet's talent and professionalism unparalleled (more on that below), but she is nothing but a complete pleasure to deal with. She is approachable, warm, thoughtful, and caring - an all-around lovely person! She is also such a calming and supportive force. Planning a wedding is stressful. Throw a global pandemic and work woes into the mix, and the process often seemed too much to bear. Janet offered the kindest, most positive and optimistic words of encouragement (totally not part of her job description, she's just simply wonderful and goes above and beyond!). She is the best hype woman!
Janet is incredibly professional. She promptly and thoughtfully answered and addressed any and all questions and concerns we had. We did not have concerns, per se, rather we requested tweaks to an already beautiful painting! She was so receptive, and even thanked us for our feedback as she told us that her clients make the painting better if they have something they'd like for her to revisit. Additionally, she arrived at the venue on time.
There are just no words to describe Janet's talent. Her paintings are simply stunning. Her attention to detail is impeccable, the portraits of my family members are incredibly lifelike. And the colors - so vibrant and beautiful!
We very much look forward to working with Janet again in the future! Thank you so much, Janet!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Kim, you are a delight! Thank you so much for this fantastic review! and thank you for having me be a part of your and Michael's special day. I love the painting and it was a pleasure working with you! -

Perfection
Janet was the first vendor we selected. I could tell from her work she really captures the moment. Communicating with her was so special. She really takes the time to understand what aspects of your day you want to capture. Our first dance painting will be a treasured family heirloom for many generations to comeJ, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
The first vendor selected!!! Woohoo! What an honor! Thank you so much. It was a pleasure working with you and your kind words mean so much to me. Thank you. -

Where do I start!? Janet was absolutely amazing in every way!! From our very first contact, Janet was so helpful and was so informative with her services and her process! I saw her work and we knew we HAD to have her a part of our special day. We shared with her exactly what we wanted captured in our painting and she delivered beyond our expectations!! We opted to get our painting with additional details added but by the end of our wedding night everything already looked so perfect! It was so beautiful to see it come to life throughout the evening. And we loved our guests being able to be a witness to it all! Everyone enjoyed watching her paint and thought it was such a great & unique idea!! After receiving our painting to our home we are just amazed!! It is beyond anything we could ever expect and to hang this in our home truly makes us feel complete. Janet, brought that moment to life and seeing our bridal party, our parents in it makes it even more special. I shared with Janet if she could include my late father and our fur child Winnie and seeing it is so much better than I could imagine. Our painting is something we will truly cherish for the rest of our lives & something we are so proud to own! We want to just say thank you thank you!! to Janet for bringing our day to life, for being a part of our special day & for being such a beautiful soul. Your talent is beyond this world & we're so grateful for you. Please look no further & book Janet for your big day! You will not regret it!!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Thank you Jasmin & Johnny, get overwhelmed with how the work I do touches people, it truly brings meaning to my life - full circle. I’m feeling blessed. Thank you.
Thank you so much for having me be a part of your special day and this amazing review.
You two are such a pleasure - I wish you both the best of everything on your journey together.

Wow! What an honor it was to be surprised by my now husband with a live painter during our wedding. Janet weathered the storm and didn't let the rain stop her from creating our beautiful first dance. It is amazing to watch Janet work and also to see how she incorporated each important family member. I am beyond excited to place this piece in our home and share it with everyone.J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:

Absolutely the Best!!
Janet is amazing. I hired her as a surprise for my daughter’s wedding. After discussing the details ahead of time, Janet got right to work when she arrived that evening. It was wonderful to see the painting come to life. My daughter and son-in-law just received it after the finishing touches and they LOVE it. I cannot praise Janet enough on her professionalism, personality and amazing talent!!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
THANK YOU SO MUCH! The reviews are amazing. More than I could ask for and they mean the world to me!
Sincerely, Thank you, You are a pleasure, and your family is lovely, a pleasure to meet you all. -

I came across at least 5 painters when searching for one for my wedding, and I am thrilled that I picked Live Event Painting by Janet Howard-Fatta! One of the first things that drew me to Janet's page were the style and quality of her paintings. Her paintings are calm to the eye and she captures the important details in a live painting. Janet was extremely professional before, during, and after our event. She was open to make my vision of the painting a reality and she truly captured the joy and love on our wedding day. If you want a unique memory at your wedding and a special piece of art in your home as newly weds, I highly recommend Live Event Painting by Janet Howard-Fatta.J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Thank you for that outstanding review and for recognizing the value in my work. I enjoyed working with you to create your vision on your special day. -

Backyard Party
Not only does Janet paint wedding memories, she can do anything. I hired Janet to paint a backyard party casual setting for my mom’s birthday. The painting is stunning. Not only did she capture everyone perfectly, she painted them in role (my son at the grill, me coming down the stairs). She even put our 3 dogs in. The best part was she added in my brother who passed 11 years ago as part of a tree looking down at us. We love it! Janet is amazingly talented, sweet, fun and I would/will definitely hire her again!!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Thank you Audrey! It felt like I was painting my own family. It was a pleasure to be there for yours! I now use how I painted your brother as a great example of how to include someone like that. Thank you!💛 -

Gina R. Sent on 09/28/2022Janet is a treasure! Hire her!
I cannot put into words how amazing Janet is (even though I am going to try!). The best way to describe is simply to look at the stunningly beautiful painting she created of me and my husband during our first dance, one of the happiest moments of our lives (attached here). Not only is she insanely talented and professional, but she is a kind-hearted person that we are so grateful to have crossed paths with and she is super passionate about her work. She took the time to get to know my husband and I and she followed us on social media once we booked her, which definitely helped her get an idea on our energy and the vibe of our relationship. She surpassed our expectations with flying colors (LITERALLY!!! The ceiling in our painting in the Aurora Borealis because we mentioned to her that was a meaningful thing for us and we wanted her to feel free to add abstract elements!). Our beloved painting is hands down our favorite keepsake from our wedding. We had a ton of unique, fun things at our celebration, and she was the #1 most talked about by all the guests. People could not believe their eyes and were in total awe witnessing her artistic process, creating this magical work of art from start to finish during the night. Anyone who is looking to book a live painter, look no further because she is the absolute BEST on every level!!!! Thank you Janet for capturing this very special moment so magically and beautifully! WE LOVE YOU!!!!J, Howard Studios Live Event Painting's reply:
Dear Gina,
It has been a pleasure getting to know you and Joe. When you hired me It was before Covid, I think the date was changed 3 times. It was worth the wait. You are two of the most warm-hearted people I have ever met. It was an honor to work with you to create this unique piece. I am very proud of it and will cherish it as part of my portfolio. I am so happy that you both love the painting. I hope it brings you back to remember all the joy and love that you have together. Thank you so very much. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to serve you.🥰 Love, janet -
