ime, so easy to communicate and work with, and made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
Her talent is truly exceptional—our painting turned out more beautiful than we ever imagined. It perfectly captured the magic and emotion of the day, and has become one of our most cherished keepsakes. Our guests were absolutely blown away, constantly stopping to watch her work and raving about how stunning the finished piece was. Even the staff at our venue, who have seen countless weddings and live painters, went out of their way to tell us how impressed they were with her work.
If you're considering a live painter for your special event, do not hesitate. Julie is a true artist and professional, and having her at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!
Thank you for everything, Julie!!
She was a lovely woman and super easy to work with. All my guest loved watching her and her attention to detail is impeccable. My painting came out so life-like!
We looked at a few live painters for our January 2024 wedding and choosing Julie was by FAR the best selection I made - she was simply incredible to work with from start to finish....
Her passion for her craft is evident and is further complemented by genuine care for providing the best client experience possible. I felt like she cared about our wedding day as much as we did! On wedding day, she blew everyone away with her talents. Our guests could not stop talking about it - and Julie - who was incredibly gracious and sweet to our guests who wanted to stop and rave to her. We cannot get over the remarkable resemblance of us too - she captured us perfectly. We are so thankful for Julie and providing us with a painting we’ll cherish forever! You MUST hire her for your wedding or event, you will not regret it! - Jen and Justin Johns

tured the perfect moment from the perfect angle. It was an absolute treat to have guests be able to witness the painting come to life. Highly recommend!! Even a great gift to buy another happy couple!
Wow where to even start with Julie.
I contacted her when I first got engaged because I knew I wanted to surprise my husband with her at our wedding. We did an initial consultation...
before I even hired her to talk about my vision, package options, travel options and the process. These paintings are an investment, and I was nervous about hiring someone who could capture exactly what I wanted. She made me feel so comfortable, she asked clarifying questions and for me to send her examples of her other works that I liked so she could get a feel for what I wanted.
After my initial consultation with her I was sure I wanted to hire her. She worked with my wedding planner and I to ensure that the secret was kept from my husband for over a year. Closer to the day, we had another call to finalize the details of the painting and the timeline for the wedding day. I even sent her pictures of our dog so she could paint her in to the painting even though she would not be present at the actual wedding.
She traveled all the way to VA from FL for our wedding, she arrived a day early to make sure she would be there on time (which I appreciated). She was so professional and courteous as my guests asked her questions and admired her work. Not only is the final product exactly what I wanted, but she also served as entertainment for the guest. She even took the painting back to her hotel to finish it and delivered it to us the next morning with the sweetest card. I got SOOOOO many compliments on how talented she is and how cool it was for guest to watch the progression of the painting throughout the night. Adding Julie was the perfect gift for my husband and an amazing addition for all of guests. I cannot thank Julie enough for her talent and for creating something so beautiful that we can cherish forever. We were absolutely blown away by the final product, she perfectly captured us (and our dog) and it is the most beautiful piece of art that we own. If you're considering hiring her, you should do it. You will not regret it.
Julie is one of the most talented artists we've ever met. It was such an honor having her paint at our wedding. As you can see in the attached picture, her work speaks for itself. ...
It's truly incredible the level of detail she was able to establish and paint. We are so thrilled to have this masterpiece and will cherish it throughout our lives. We highly recommend Julie, as her work is unparalleled. Having spent months researching while planning our wedding, we can confidently say you will not find anyone who will do a better job than Julie. Her talents are a rarity! We can't thank Julie enough for the incredible, unique masterpiece of our wedding.
Julie endlessly talented. Our wedding painting exceeded my wildest expectations and I’m so grateful we were able to book Julie. She’s so sweet, had a great energy and is visibly p...
assionate about her work.
She totally stole the show. She arrived at our wedding with a blank canvas and throughout the course of the evening, she created a masterpiece.
All of my guests raved about her and they loved checking in throughout the night as the painting progressed.
I waited until she was finished to look at it and I was truly blown away. It’s literally my face!
I also love how the colors are so bright, airy and vibrant.
I’m so grateful to Julie for giving us this wonderful memory that we will cherish forever.
Julie's painting of my husband and I was the most amazing memento of our wedding day. From our very first call, Julie worked with us to make sure we were on the same page regarding...
the over all look and feel of the painting, the orientation and what or who would be featured. She is a true artist who paints with such care and detail. She even painted our dog standing amongst the trees in the backdrop. Our guests are still ranting and raving about how much they enjoyed interacting with her through out the evening and loved watching the progression of the painting from beginning to end.
Where to start...Julie's work is absolutely INSANE! When I stumbled on her work on instagram, I was absolutely in awe and knew I needed to book her for my wedding ASAP. She is SO i...
ncredibly talented; I can't speak enough good words about her or her work. She was so communicative throughout the entire process, and really cared about every detail. Julie is the sweetest, so responsive, and so accommodating - she made sure I was happy with literally everything. All of my guests were stunned by the quality of her painting - they loved it so much and couldn't stop talking about it!
The final product was so amazing. My husband and I were completely speechless. She really captured an exact moment at our wedding - it looked just like a photo. She's the best!!!
Don't hesitate to book her!! I'm going to cherish my wedding painting forever. Thanks so much for everything, Julie!!
