Gina is OUTSTANDING, to simplify her jaw dropping talent. From the day of interest, to booking, follow up, and day of, Gina showed professionalism and genuine interest in our wedding day. It can be difficult to find vendors who truly care and view your day more than money. Gina was just perfect through her warm nature and compassion. The guests simply adored her and her presence during the party. She ensured we were happy with all details and allowed us to have a say in her art work. To which I gave her full artistic ability, due to how divine her work is. I’ve personally never seen a live painter with the talent Gina holds. Look no further in your search, Gina is incredible. I can not recommend Gina enough, genuinely a beautiful edition to our wedding. I can not WAIT to see our finished piece 😍

My husband and I found Gina through the brides of Long Island group. I must say she is my favorite vendor that we used. Don’t get me wrong all our vendors were amazing but Gina’s talent for painting is truly breath taking. People could not stop watching her paint at our wedding and still ask about our painting. Besides her talent she is truly an amazing person to work with. If you are looking for a live painter, book with Gina. You will not be disappointed.

Gina is a very talented artist, and having her paint for your wedding really puts your wedding over the top. We met her when touring our venue and her communication and professionalism is off the charts. She puts a lot of care into every step of the process of creating your painting.

Gina was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She answered emails promptly and scheduled a call with us prior to the event to go over our “vision” for the painting. She arrived the day of a few hours early to paint the landscape and stayed for most of the duration of the event. Our guests were amazed by her work and she was so friendly letting them watch her and take photos of the process. She took the painting home that night to work on details. Once it was finalized, Gina hand delivered it to us a few weeks later. We would highly suggest Gina to anyone looking for a live painter!!

Hiring Gina to do a live painting for our wedding was my absolutely favorite thing I did. Our guests were wow-ed and loved seeing her work and the end results was A++++++. My husband and I both agree it was so worth it because it was a fun extra for our guests plus a lifetime keepsake. Our painting is now the center piece of our living room so it is still making a statement when we have guests and we get so many compliments on how beautiful it is. Gina is so talented, sweet and easy to work with. Look no further for a live painter, you will not regret it!

Gina is the most kind and talented human ever! The whole experience with her from beginning to end was flawless and super easy. She is extremely professional, responds quickly and her artwork speaks for herself. She was an absolute gem at my wedding and everyone loved her! Our painting was stunning and it’s currently hanging up in our bedroom! Don’t even think twice about booking her!!

Gina was absolutely lovely and professional from the 2nd we started consultation! She was flexible with any changes and added a sweet touch of my husband's father who passed-it's a painting we'll treasure forever!
Also the older crowd at the wedding (who weren't big dancers) LOVED having something to watch at the wedding! It was another amazing form of entertainment! Gina is a gem and an amazing person to work with! Highly recommend!

Gina is a phenomenal artist. Our painting has brought me to tears multiple times and now proudly sits on our wall of our living room. She’s also a very kind personable artist, I spoke with her multiple times during our wedding and she’s so down to earth and works hard on the painting. This painting will last a lifetime and more, it is not a cheap service but it’s so worth it and worth the money.

Gina was one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding! We first found her on Instagram and we were in love with her work and knew we wanted to use her for our special day! She was very responsive and friendly from the beginning. A little bit before the wedding she went over what we wanted to include and the colors/mood we were going for. On the day of the wedding she was timely, professional, and all of our guests loved talking to her and watching her work. The final artwork was beyond anything we had expected. She was even able to add in our little dog in the final piece. I couldn’t have imagined using anyone else to capture our special day as artwork. Do yourself a favor and RUN to book her!

Wow, Run to Gina people. This was my “over budget” item and I am so glad I spent the money on this and not on a photobooth. Gina is so incredibly sweet, easy to communicate with, and all around amazing to work with. I have never seen a live painter and neither had most of my guests so they really loved this added touch and were blown away by her work by the end of the night. I cannot wait to get the final piece once it’s finished in a few weeks as a keepsake forever.

Gina is an absolute sweetheart and amazing artist! I was too late in booking Gina for day of services but in her off season, she has packages to paint from a wedding photo. I loved her style so I saved her info until we got our photos back. My husband and I were blown away by her talent and have a unique painting from our wedding photos which combines elements from many photos - not just an exact replica of one photo. I cannot recommend Gina enough!

My parents surprised my husband and I at our reception with Gina. We could not have asked for a more thoughtful, unique, incredible way to capture our first dance. Gina’s talent and personality created a captivating experience for our entire guest list throughout our reception. Her attention to detail is incredible and made for our most treasured keepsake from our wedding day. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to work with Gina and to have her art hanging on our wall. We recommend her to everyone we know and hope to see her at every wedding we attend. 1000/10 Gina is the absolute best.

Booking Gina was the best decision we made during wedding planning. All of our guests were in awe while watching her work and couldn’t stop talking about it after.

Gina is literally the best vendor we had for our wedding! Aside from her raw talent she is seriously the sweetest and most genuine person. So easy to work with, and really made sure we loved our painting! She was even able to add our little cat into the painting too!!! 10/10 would recommend!

If you are looking for a unique way to memorialize your wedding day, you are in the right place and Gina is your girl! She is a very talented, kind, professional, and attentive artist. I am an artist myself, so having a wedding painter was a dream for me ! After my original wedding painter couldn't make it, I am so thankful that Gina was able to save the day! She was so flexible and did everything she could to make us happy! She arrived early and began painting away. During the event, she was so respectful and the guests were in awe watching her paint. I even bothered her to make edits after edits in studio and she received them with so much patience and made everything look absolutely perfect! To put a cherry on top, she drove two hours and hand-delivered the masterpiece in person, so incredibly thoughtful and caring! I never tire of admiring the beautiful canvas on our dining room wall. Hire Gina and you will not regret it!

I’m going to start and end this review saying the same thing…HIRE GINA to paint your first dance or ceremony! I promise you will not regret it! I was looking all over for a live event painter, and by luck one painter recommended Gina saying that she was just starting out at live event painting and would likely be available for my day. She painted my first dance with my husband and it is more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Not only do my husband, our family, and I look exactly like ourselves, but she even infused other parts of our wedding into the painting that I didn’t even think to ask her to add. Our personal favorite part of our painting was that she was able to paint in my husband’s mother, who died from cancer in 2017, based on a picture we provided. Not only is Gina an amazing painter, but a sweetheart as well. I’m so glad to have gotten to know her better and cannot wait to see her live event painting business soar. So all in all HIRE GINA, you will not regret it!!

Once I started planning my wedding I knew I wanted to have a live painter not only for the beautiful keepsake but also for the guest experience. I had originally hired another live painter (before knowing Gina) who cancelled on me last minute. Someone recommended Gina to me and she was absolutely amazing!! She responded right away, was so easy to work with and made the whole experience enjoyable. She is very personable, detail oriented and listened to everything my husband and I wanted. All of my guests loved watching her paint throughout the reception and the finished product was more than we could have ever imagined! We also received the final canvas only a month after the wedding! If you are thinking of hiring a live painter, hire Gina! She was one of the best decisions we made!

Gina was an absolute dream to work with! We chose to have her paint our first dance. She included personal touches like our neon sign with our last name, a peek out into the vineyard, and really got all the details of our outfits. Our guests loved to stop by her table and see the progress throughout the night. She even made a short video from the night of and the finishing details back at her studio. Gina hand delivered the painting to us about 7 weeks after our wedding, which was right within her estimated time frame. We would recommend her again and again!

Gina completely made our wedding portrait more than we could’ve ever imagined! After our original live painter double booked us and we realized 1 month before the wedding, Gina was recommended to us and we couldn’t have been more fortunate to have her! Gina was kind, personable, and compassionate - her kind heart just shines through her work! Guests absolutely loved her at our wedding and at the end of the night, we were stunned to see what she had done! Gina takes her work back to her studio to perfect it before giving it to her couples which we absolutely loved! Every detail was simply perfect. Gina was easily one of our favorite vendors to work with and we would recommend her to any couple in a heartbeat!

I have wanted a live painter at my wedding and Gina was so wonderful throughout the entire process. She ensured my painting was exactly how I wanted it and included our families in the picture. Her detailing of the flowers, room, dresses is incredible. My painting was ready 6 weeks later and she dropped it off at my door. Thank you Gina you are awesome !

Our painting from Gina was probably my favorite thing to come out of our wedding. We are obsessed with it, and it’s more beautiful than we imagined! Gina was super responsive, professional, and amazing to work with. We picked up our painting about 3 weeks after our wedding and it was absolutely stunning. Gina is a gem of a person, we would recommend her to anyone!

I can not recommend Gina enough! After an original wedding painter canceled on us 3 weeks before our wedding, I reached out to Gina and she took our wedding date on extremely short notice! She was so kind and professional leading up to our wedding. She took the time to really get to know what we wanted for our day, and even went to the venue ahead of time to get an idea of the room for the big day.
On our wedding day, she took the time to capture all of the small details to add to our painting. We had our first dance painted, and she took photos and videos to make sure everything was perfect in the painting. She was also so kind and gracious to all of the guests who went over to her and observed while she was working!
After our painting was done (which was super fast!), she sent us a video to make sure everything was right, and then even added in some more details for me! When she dropped off our painting at our house (which was so above and beyond), we were in AWE. Our painting is absolutely stunning and beyond what we could have imagined. Gina is so incredibly talented and a true artist. We are so excited to hang our painting so proudly in our home. Gina's work is absolutely incredible!
