Erika did an AMAZING job painting first dance at our wedding. She is extremely talented and has incredible attention to detail. Our guests kept coming up to us saying how great it ...
was and such a cool addition to our big day. I highly recommend her.
Erika is SO insanely talented! She not only created a beautiful piece of art that looked exactly like us and so realistic, but she took the time to ask beforehand specific details ...
that we would want included. Everyone at our wedding was in such awe. If you’re questioning whether to get a live painter, hire Erika. You will NOT be disappointed!!
Such a smooth and easy process. All of the guests were raving about her talent. And the final product will forever hang up in our living room
I knew I wanted a live painter, and immediately fell in love with Erika’s work. From the beginning she was responsive and happy to answer any questions. I asked her to include our ...
pups in our painting and she was more than happy to make that vision come true! Everyone loved getting to watch the painting come to life throughout the night and the final product is something we treasure and get to enjoy viewing in our home each day! You will not be disappointed by working with Erika!
Erika was very clear about her expectations and true to her words.
Erika was simply fantastic. All my guest was amazed by her work and this was such an awesome detail to our wedding. The final product was better then I could have imagined. I highl...

I always knew I wanted a live painter at my daughters wedding, and after viewing several works from different artists, Erika’s work was hands down the absolute best. Erika was wond...
erful to work with starting from our first correspondence until the beautiful and flawless painting arrived at my home. I highly recommend Erika for anyone’s event. Her paintings are outstanding and she is a pleasure to work with. I will surely use her in the future!
She arrived promptly, started right away. Would highly recommend! She was just hands down amazing! We love our painting! 😍🥰
I wish I could give Erika a million stars!
From the start Erika was so wonderful to work with! I had requested specific people be in the painting (my late father and my late fath...
er in law) and she captured them perfectly just from a few pictures I had sent to her! Not only is Erika fantastic at her paintings, she is such a wonderful person which made the experience all the more great! I have already recommended Erika to a bunch of my friends who are getting married and constantly recommend her on Facebook because everyone needs a painting by Erika!
I saw live paintings for weddings happening on instagram. I knew I had to surprise my soon to be husband with one for our wedding day. A quick search turned up Erika Event Painting...
as a local artist. Communication with Erika was easy via email and a quick phone call, I immediately booked her. Payments were super easy as well. Erika arrived at our venue on our wedding day, snagged some photos of our ceremony and went to work during cocktail hour and reception. My husband was so surprised when he saw her. Even better was how completely blown away at the end of the night he was with the finished product. So many guests visited with Erika throughout the night. She was so kind and pleasant with every person. Every guest has complimented me for the unique idea and raved about her process and the finished product!
Having Erika paint our first dance was perfect! She was so easy to work with and the painting looks so realistic; she painted the picture on-site and finished that night. She had ...
people walking up to her, speaking to her, and watching over her shoulder while painting. But apparently, none of that bothers her, because this painting is something my husband and I will cherish forever. Everyone was saying, “Did you see the painting?” Erika isn’t just a painter - She’s also an entertainer, as people stared all night watching her greatness. We’ve never seen such fantastic detail like this. And still can’t believe she did the painting on-site and finished it the same night. It’s unreal. She’s super talented. We will frame our painting and put it in the Living Room to show it off to everyone who walks into our house from now on. Incredible!
Erika painted a beautiful piece of our wedding ceremony. It captures a moment of our wedding day in such a unique and creative way. Many of my guests commented on Erika's presence ...
and work and found it to be a very amazing addition to our wedding day vendors. We have our portrait framed and hung up and I enjoy walking past it every day. I would highly recommend Erika as she is flexible, talented and was so easy to work with.
I must say that having Erika capture my husband and I’s first dance has been one of the most treasured possessions we have of our wedding day. Each painting she does is unique to e...
ach client due to their venue, wedding dress, decorations, etc. When you have a painting of your wedding, no one else has one like it. It’s a one of a kind piece that brings back memories of the best day of your life. Erika’s work is beautiful and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a unique element at their wedding reception with an momento that you get to take home and hang up to see for years to come!
A live painter was a top “must have” for us. We found Erika through another artist that we found on The Knot. We are so thrilled to have found her! Erika was so kind and easy to w...
ork with. Her work shows for itself - our guests truly couldn’t stop talking about the painting as she brought it to life. Erika painted our first dance on an 20” x 30” canvas. We opted to not add any additional detail to the painting after the fact, and we’re able to take it home the same night. If you’re looking to add that extra something to your night and have memorabilia to cherish forever, we cannot recommend Erika enough!
My husband and I had a great experience hiring Erika as a live painter at our wedding. Her prices are very reasonable. I love her artistic style because she paints with a lot of de...
tail and paints subjects and surroundings realistically (other artists I found painted too abstract for my liking). She was responsive and organized prior to the wedding, and she was also very flexible- I wore two dresses on my wedding day. I wore my reception dress for my first dance, but she was able to paint me in my ceremony dress in the painting itself. She was also able to add in my husband's beloved family dog in the painting too. Most of our guests had never seen a live painter at a wedding before, so it was also a source of entertainment for our guests who weren't big dancers. Overall highly recommend Erika!
I highly recommend hiring Erika to live paint your wedding!! Her work is absolutely stunning and our guests were blown away by the progress she made on our painting throughout the ...

short of brilliant. Her attention to detail is mind blowing, from the way my dad stands to the sparkles in my dress. We’re so grateful to have found her!

g the reception which I discussed with Erika. She designed a way to captured this by incorporating two moments in the painting in such an amazing way. This was a new request for Erika and the result was outstanding. Everyone was so impressed with Erika’s work and many guests continued to check the progress during the reception. It added another magical touch to an a fabulous celebration. I highly recommend Erika! She is amazing!

ife right in front our eyes. I highly recommend her, the guests loved watching her work throughout the wedding as well. The first thing my wife and I did when we got home was hang the painting up right away. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you are thinking about a painter for your wedding, definitely reach out to Erika.
Words can’t describe how much we enjoyed having Erika paint at our wedding! I was so excited to have a live painter and she absolutely exceeded all of our expectations! Our guests ...
were SO impressed and still talk about it to us four months later. Not to mention, the painting came out absolutely beautiful and literally the first thing we did was rush home to hang it up in the most perfect spot. Erika was so easy to communicate with and so pleasant to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!

wedding. So glad to have booked with Erika. So easy to work with and such a talented artist! It was amazing to see the work from start to finish. Guests were floored and couldn’t help but stop and stare as she worked throughout the night. To watch the progressing and get to take home the final painting at the end of the night was something!

I couldn't have been luckier to have found Erika to be the live event painter at our wedding! She was super friendly and extremely easy going through the whole process of signing a...
contract to meeting the day of the wedding to taking my painting home! She even took it upon herself to paint a hidden Mickey into our picture when she realized we were a Disney loving couple! It's my favorite part of the painting and the most magical of touches! She was absolutely wonderful! Still can't believe how beautiful our painting is!
If your thinking of using a live painter for your event then book with Erika! I can’t begin to explain how impressed I am with her work. The details in the painting are amazing, yo...

Our guests were truly amazed. So many of them came up to us during, and after the wedding paying so many compliments! They loved Erika and watching the process come to life.
I couldn't recommend Erika enough. She was a pleasure to work with and she is exceptionally talented. I would without a doubt book her again if I had to do it all over. Remarkable!

Erika is beyond talented 5 stars isn’t enough! I met Erika when I first started dating John who was the best man at one of his best friends weddings. I saw Erika painting and asked...
for her card hoping that some day I would be able to have a painting as beautiful as the one she painted for John’s friend.
I was lucky I booked Erika the minute I was engaged because she gets booked right away. This is because she’s this talented.
Erika your work is beautiful, and timeless. My husband and I can’t thank you enough for our beautiful canvas painting. You are a true artist. You are such a pleasure to work with so caring and understanding. One of the sweetest people I have ever met. Thank you we will treasure this piece of artwork forever ❤️
From the beginning, Erika was great to work with. She was easy to get in touch with and very helpful during our phone consultation in understanding my vision for a wedding paintin...
g. All of our wedding guests loved watching Erika painting next to the dance floor during the reception. It was such a special and unique part of our wedding. I have my painting now and it is beautiful! Everyone in the painting looks so much like themselves. The details are amazing! I even ordered two extra prints as gifts for my parents and in-laws. If you're thinking of a live painting, it is definitely worth it!
I knew I wanted a live artist at my wedding before I even got engaged. My best friend showed me pictures of a wedding that she went to and that was the first time I ever saw that t...
here was even such a thing so I fell in love with the idea. After I did get engaged, my friend was able to get me the contact information for the woman whose work I saw pictures of. I reached out to her numerous times and left her several messages, but she never responded. Then it occurred to me that she couldn’t be the only person around who did this sort of thing so I started doing some research. Luckily, this is how I stumbled across Erika and her jaw dropping talent so I immediately reached out to inquire about booking her for my big day. Not only was she quick to respond, she answered every question I had with patience and kindness. She was friendly and provided all of the pricing options in a timely manner, including all of the details that go into what decides the final price (ie. size of the painting, how many people included, what moment you want captured, etc.) You also have the option of taking it home at the end of the night or waiting a few months, which gives her time to take the painting home and perfect her masterpiece m, which is so worth it! She even takes headshots of those individuals that you identify to be in the painting so that she ensures every detail will be included. We recently received our final product and were absolutely flawed. Yes, we have beautiful photos from the day, too, but there is just nothing like this unique way to remember the day! The original woman I reached out to not being responsive was a major blessing in disguise! I would recommended Erika 1000 times over. Can you tell? :)
From the very first point of contact, Erika was nothing short of professional, patient and accommodating in answering all of our questions and requests. Each and every follow up th...
ereafter was timely and reassuring.
Her calm, peaceful presence at our son and daughter-in-law's wedding reception provided an air of shared joy and anticipation for our guests to watch the scene come to life.
We are so grateful for Erika's exquisite ability to create such a beautiful memento of a very special occasion for our family!! The finished masterpiece is absolutely even better than we anticipated!! It was packaged expertly and delivered promptly as promised. A glowing recommendation for Erika's work is well deserved!
