Alicia made for such an incredible and unique wedding experience! I am SO grateful she was at our wedding and captured our day the way she did. Everyone was talking about the painting all night and I could not believe my eyes every time I went over to her and saw the progress she was making. It is less than 2 months after our wedding now and our painting is already frame and hanging on our wall, Every time I see it in our house it takes my breath away. I am so grateful for the work she did, and will be recommending Alicia to everyone I know!

We had Alicia as our live wedding painter, and she was absolutely incredible! From the moment we first connected, she was so sweet, kind, and easy to work with—truly a joy to have as part of our big day. Our guests were completely mesmerized watching her work during the ceremony and reception—it added such a special and memorable touch to the whole event. And the finished painting? It completely blew us away. The detail and emotion she captured were unbelievable—our faces look exactly like us, and the whole scene feels alive every time we look at it. We couldn’t recommend Alicia more highly. She’s talented beyond words and made our wedding day even more magical! I attached a photo of the painting and what it actually looked like the day of so you can see how talent she is!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

Live wedding painting is an exciting and unique entertainment for your reception. While your guests watch, I am capturing the special feeling of your wedding day in a one of a kind work of art to cherish for years to come! Pricing ranges from approximately from $1800.00 - $3500.00 and is based on the desired size of the painting, location of venue, and any additional travel cost. All price points include consultation with couple, custom made canvas, professional grade oil paint, insurance, travel to venue, live painting at event, finishing touches in my studio, and delivery of finished painting. How it works: Every wedding is unique and so is every painting! Prior to the event, I have a consultation with the couple to discuss all of the options for the painting of your special day. In addition to working with the couple, I handle all coordination with the venue coordinator and event planners. On the day of the wedding, I will arrive at the venue prior to the start of the event to set up and begin painting the scene prior to the start of the event. I paint through-out the reception, so everyone is able to see your painting evolve! (approximately 4-5 hours of live painting) By the end of the reception, the painting is about 90% complete. After the wedding, I bring the painting back to my studio for finishing touches and to allow for drying time! Within two weeks after the wedding, once the painting is completed and dry, I will deliver the painting to you!

Owner

I received my Master’s in Fine Art from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Before pursuing my graduate degree, I concentrated in Painting at Arcadia University. While pursuing both of my degrees, I fell in love with oil painting and depicting the figure. In addition to painting weddings, I am a Professor of Painting and Drawing at Rowan University. As an artist, I love painting weddings! I feel honored that I have the opportunity to capture experience and feeling of every wedding I am a part of!

ble. When I reached out, Alicia got back to me right away with all the information I needed and kept in constant communication up until the day of the wedding. She worked everything out on her end with our venue which really helped during the stressful stages of wedding planning. She painted our first dance and the result was better than I could have ever imagined. I even asked her to paint in our dog and she did no problem. All of our guests were commenting on her work throughout the night, and our finished painting is so beautiful it’s something I’ll cherish forever. Look no further if you’re looking for an extremely professional and talented painter.

ons out there, but I loved Alicia’s more realistic style, and she did not disappoint! She was the sweetest person while painting and her work came out amazing. It was really cool to see the progress throughout the night. As the painting nears completion, she sends you a picture to ensure everything is ok and asks if any adjustments are needed (although it was too perfect for adjustments). Received many compliments from the guests at the wedding and this was a terrific addition!

Alicia is the WOW factor of all vendors. We chose to hire Alicia for our reception and not tell any of our family or guests. Not only was she an entertaining artist for the little ...

ones at our wedding, her presence and artwork are the thing that guests continue to tell us they were wowed by. I would have hired her for the experience alone. However, the end result has me floored. Our painting is breathtaking. Alicia captured so many of the "small" details that mean so much to us. Every time I look at our painting, I am reminded of the love and warmth that surrounded us for our first dance. I could not be happier with our decision to have Alicia capture our special day. Professional, quick to respond, and up for anything. Hire her!!!

Alicia was amazing to work with! She was great with her communication and responded so quick to us every time. She showed up early and was prepared on our wedding day. The painting...

she did of my husband and I’s first dance is incredible!!! It’s so beautiful and life like. It has so much detail and looks just like our venue did and it resembles us perfectly. Everyone enjoyed watching her paint and talking to her at our wedding. She was very professional even when having to deal with some of my crazy family and friends. We were so anxious to see our painting after our wedding and we got it the next weekend so we did not have to wait long at all. She even delivered the painting right our home when it was finished. We contacted a lot of painters around us and she was the most reasonably priced one so we weren’t sure how the painting would turn out since everyone else was so much more but she is so incredibly talented! She was honestly wonderful to work with and I would HIGHLY suggest her to be a part of anyone’s special day! You will not be disappointed with her as your painter!!

Alicia was such a great add to our wedding and really, life! I love looking at the finished piece she worked on during our wedding and touched up afterwards. Our guests LOVED this ...

aspect of our wedding because it is so unique and it's so cool seeing it from start to finish. Alicia was great from the planning stage of what we wanted to capture to the day of and then afterwards working with us after we came back from our three week honeymoon to help us get exactly what we wanted. No only is this such a nice add to your wedding, I'd say it's a MUST because besides your photography, this is unique to your wedding and is not just another painting, but a painting of an event that was truly yours. It's an investment and really will be a piece to have forever.

She replied to my emails promptly, worked up a contract so it felt more "official", and even delivered the painting to my home! I'll be using her again in the future for sure!

I was fortunate enough to meet Alicia at a bridal show that I happened to be modeling dresses at. My wedding was only 3 months away, so I probably wouldn't have gone to any bridal ...

shows so close to our day. I had seen an article on the knot about how live painting was the newest wedding trend and I absolutely loved the idea. Being so close to the wedding, I didn't expect to find an available artist that was in our price range. I immediately went over to Alicia's table, just to inquire and see her work. Her paintings are beautiful. I absolutely love her impressionistic style. After talking a bit, I knew we had to book her. She is extremely professional, kind, and talented. Our guests loved checking on the progress of her painting as the night went on. I regretted not checking in on it as much, however, she was all finished with final touches no more than a week later. We LOVE the finished painting and so do our family and friends. It's a timeless keepsake we will cherish forever! Truly such a special and unique touch to any wedding.
