    Made our wedding so special!

    Julia was such a pleasure to work with! She was so sweet and attentive to our requests and our guests thoroughly enjoyed watching her work the morning of the wedding. We’re so obsessed with our painting. Would highly recommend!!

    Julia is so wonderful to work with, we love our painting!

    Julia helped me surprise my soon to be wife on the day of our wedding with her services as a wedding gift. She was so easy to work with in planning, super responsive, and the value for her services and talent beats anyone else in he industry. Our guests were enamored with how quickly and efficiently she worked throughout the night, and she did such a great job capturing our moment and the beauty of our venue. We got married in an aquarium and she captured the ambience, the lighting, and the floor-to-ceiling tanks perfectly and even a nice big shark in the background. She even took the time to capture our custom monogram being projected on the wall and the detail was awesome.

    She helped to take our night to the next level and when the painting was revealed to us on the floor at the end of the night the reaction of my new wife was worth it all. It's definitely something we can't wait to frame and cherish in our future home forever.

    Thanks Julia!

    Gorgeous guest illustrations!

    Julia did guest portraits for our wedding, and her artwork came out amazing! Our guests LOVED them. I even had a friend who asked for her contact info...and she's not even engaged yet! Julia is super sweet, and her guest portraits are a unique and memorable way to capture our wedding.

    It was a splurge for us, but worth every penny. If you're undecided, I definitely encourage you to go for it. Julia, thanks for sharing your talent with us!

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Thank you so much! I had so much fun working with you and your lovely guests. Such an honor:) Congratulations to you both!

    Amazing, realistic, beautiful work!

    Julia was so amazing to work with! She is so kind and caring about making your special day memorable. Not only that, but her artistic work is incredible! Every single person at my wedding complimented the painting she did of our first dance. How realistic it was. It's my most cherished wedding day memento. I love it so much and I am proudly hanging it up at home!!

    Amazing Experience

    WOW....What an amazing experience and take away for my son and daughter-in law. Julia really captured the moment of their first dance. My son and his wife cried when they saw the finished product. A very special way to remember the wedding day forever.

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Christine! It was an honor to paint for your son and his new wife - they were the sweetest couple and I was excited to capture the sweetness of her head on his shoulder during their first dance! Congratulations :)

    She was lovely from the beginning. Not a crazy price because she u derstands the struggle and stress of getting married

    I loved every second with her. My guests were extremely impressed watching a painting come to life. She wasn't in the way, just did her own thing! I had a big reveal at the end of the night. It was soo perfect!!

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write this sweet review! Your wedding was so refreshingly authentic and beautiful in its simplicity. It was so fun to paint the chickens in the background and your parents sweet dog next to you. Congratulations!!!

    Julia is literally amazing

    We booked Julia for our wedding for her to capture our first dance! She nailed it!!! She was so interactive and sweet with our guests and they loved watching her in action. She was definitely a highlight of our wedding and guests are STILL talking about her! If you are the fence about booking a live painter, do it, and book Julia!!

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Hey Sam, Thanks so much for the kind words! I am so happy you're pleased - your wedding was so much fun and you are just the cutest couple. Thanks again!

    Julia Mooney's irreplaceable art

    Julia was a fantastic vendor! She painted my wife and I's first dance on September 24th, 2023. The detail-orientation of this paint is so eye catching and very thoughtful toward both of our favorite dresses, culture and most importantly the theme! I love the vibrancy of colors she used, and it truly captures the best aspects of our Soirée de Xiānnü ♥️

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Oh! Chills! I’m so glad you were happy. I tried so hard to honor all of you and your wife’s special qualities as well as the unique beauty of your special day! Congrats and thank you for the kind words 💕💕💕

    So so amazing!!!

    Working with Julia was so amazing! I loved the flexibility she offered when I asked if she could do my live painting with watercolors instead of acrylic. She was actually super excited for the change and that made me even more confident in her work. Julia is so kind and I loved working with her so much. She did such a beautiful job and respected everything that I requested. Truly such a treat to work with and she captured such a wonderful memory that I get to look at every day in my home!

    So much love for Julia!

    Julia’s painting was a surprise for my wedding that occurred on 8/17/23. From start to finish Julia has been amazing to work with! The painting she created of our first dance was PHENOMENAL!!! She made both me and my husband cry because it’s absolutely gorgeous. Julia is beyond talented and I totally recommend hiring her to help capture those sentimental moments! Thank you so much Julia!! ❤️❤️

    Aw Meaghen thank you so much for this speedy and heartfelt review! You two were so cute, it was easy to capture all that love! :) Congrats on your new chapter together!

    Wonderful Artist and great to work with!

    When wedding planning, hiring a live painter was one of the few things my husband and I disagreed on. He wasn't sure if it was worth the extra cost, but boy did Julia prove him wrong! The piece of art she created is absolutely stunning, she was kind and conscientious to work with, and guests were in awe of the spectacle of her painting it right there at the reception. Her price point was very fair and worth every penny for both having her there at the wedding and also the keepsake we keep forever So happy hiring Julia is now the first "I told you so" of our marriage, LOL!

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Thank you Emily! I had such a blast painting your fairytale wedding:) The way you sung to your husband was my favorite!!!

    A special Moment captured and put on canvas

    First I would like to say thank you to Julia for being apart of our special day.When we first booked Julia we had no idea what we were going to get all we new was “how cool would it be to have a live painter” We didn’t talk to Julia much throughout the process,She asked us one question and that was at what moment do you want me to capture the picture.We told her whatever you feel is best take a shot..And she did just that and captured a magical moment and put it on canvas.Julia thanks for an incredibly amazing picture on canvas the detail that you put in this was impeccable we absolutely LOVE IT,So she did ask if we wanted to see or a reveal and we chose reveal..When we saw it another magical moment was captured..Again thank you Julia.#Chris&Tanishawedding 6/2/23

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Tanisha it was such a privilege!! Thank you for letting me be part of your big day. Congratulations and thank you for the super sweet review:)

    Speechless!

    Julia was not only professional, but also kind, responsive, punctual, talented, and much more! She went above and beyond to help me understand the process and how she does her work. She is amazing. Look no further for your wedding painter. Consider this an investment forever ! We gifted her services to a sister and her husband and they were so grateful!

    A Truly Unique Experience!! 10/10 Recommend!

    If you’re looking for a unique experience for your wedding, book Julia NOW! My guests were SO excited to watch her paint throughout the wedding. She is a true gem and gave us the best keepsake we could have ever asked for. I am beyond estastic with her work as an artist and how professional she was to work with. Julia was very accommodating of my vision for the painting. I had a special request to have my parents (who are no longer here) included in our painting and she hit it out of the park with her artistic talent. She even included halos above their heads. As you could imagine, not having my parents in attendance was very emotional for me but this painting brought on happy tears! Everytime I look at the painting (which is proudly hanging in our living room), I truly feel like my parents were there in spirit. She even included our kitty boy Binx into the painting which brings us so much joy. I highly recommend booking her services for your wedding or next event. Thank you again Julia!!

    The best!

    If you’re looking for the perfect wedding painter, look no further! Julia’s work is top notch, and she was so easy to work with. She was professional and even chatted up our littlest guests who couldn’t get enough of watching her paint! Now we have the most precious family heirloom that we treasure even more than our photos from the wedding. We interviewed other live painters but we decided to go with Julia because we just knew she wouldn’t let us down. We’re so glad we did!

    Julia Mooney Live Event Painter's reply:

    Thank you! The littles at your wedding were the cutest. I think your niece is a future artist! I appreciate your kind review:)

    BEST live wedding painter!!

    Julia was the most amazing live wedding painter- please do yourself a favor and run, don’t walk, to book an event with her. She was professional, kind, accommodative and easy to work with, but best of all she brought to life our experience with a once in a lifetime painting! She captured a moment and made it last forever & along the way interacted with our guest to keep them entertained.
