Lexi was incredible!! Her art speaks for itself, but beyond that, Lexi is so kind and easy to work with. She is thorough and detailed, and she did such an amazing job capturing us on our wedding day. I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing our finished painting!! 1000000000/10.
Lexi created such a beautiful painting for my husband and I on our wedding in September 2024. Our guests loved being able to see the process come together. She was so easy to work with and was one additional special detail that really made our wedding ours. Our painting was complete by the end of the evening and we were able to take it home with us as an amazing keepsake from the magical day.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Lexi is! We hired her to do guest portrait paintings at our wedding on Long Island. She was able to do so many beautiful paintings. She was able to complete extra paintings after the wedding that she could not get to on the night of the event. I would definitely recommend adding Lexi to your wedding day for a special gift for your guests!
Any questions?
There are not enough words to tell anyone how highly I recommend hiring a live wedding painter for your event! If you are going to book a live wedding painter, please book with Lexi Hannah! She was terrific to work with and so personable. She cares about her work and, most importantly, her clients. What was remarkable was during our call before the wedding to go over details on what we wanted in our painting, we got to include our dogs and how much detail she put into how she made them. I was speechless for the reveal at the end of the night. It was still something our guests were talking about a month after the wedding. It was something that we can put into our home and look back on and feel like we are back at the alter saying "I do". There are not enough words to thank Lexi for the fantastic work she did and continues to do for couples!!
Lexi was absolutely amazing! My husband and I as well as all of our guests were completely blown away by her incredible talent and her professionalism! The painting she created for us is absolutely stunning, and is something that we will cherish forever. She was able to truly capture our love on our special day. Lexi is the true defintion of talent, and if you are looking for a lifetime piece that you and your partner will cherish and love forever, definitely hire her!!
Lexi was amazing to work with! She had open communication and worked with me when I couldn't decide what I wanted. She is incredibly talented. She paid attention to every little detail. Guests loved watching the process throughout the whole day. Easily the best decision I made regarding my wedding.
Lexi is an amazing artist who is talented, professional, caring, and detail oriented. At our wedding in August, Lexi created guest portraits throughout our entire reception for 150 guests. Lexi and her team were friendly and welcoming to all our guests. Additionally, all of our friends and family raved about her beautiful work following our big day. It meant so much to us to add such a personal touch to our wedding.
Lexi did a great job communicating with our day coordinator at our venue during our reception. She was a pleasure to work with overall, and made sure that all our needs and wants were met. She even went above and beyond and sent us the portraits she couldn’t finish at the wedding in the mail to us so that we could send them with our thank you notes. She was everything someone could want in a wedding vendor and we could not recommend her more highly. We love Lexi and hope to work with her again in the future!!
Lexi was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. All our guests said how cool and unique the live sketches were. She got through so many of our guests during the night and even took the time days after the wedding to finish the remaining 20 something sketches that she couldn't get to that evening. I would absolutely recommend Lexi to anyone thinking of doing live art at their event.
Lexi is the best! She was super friendly when I first met with her and really cared about what I wanted in our picture. I decided to surprise my husband with a painting on our wedding day and I’m so glad I decided to do that. It made it even more special. Lexi arrived early and got a head start and then came over and introduced herself. Everyone kept coming up to us saying how much fun they were having going up to her and looking at the progress. The painting came out beautiful! Lexi is very talented at what she does! Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for the kind words Nicole! I loved capturing your beautiful day!
Lexi was a joy to work with and we are so happy we hired her to paint our first dance on our wedding day! She is unbelievably talented and created a beautiful painting for us to cherish. She asked us ahead of time what we wanted to make sure was included, and she even painted our dog who was not present on our wedding day. We can’t recommend Lexi enough!
I hired Lexi for my sister in law’s wedding as a special gift to her and her new husband. Lexi left myself and everyone who attended the wedding speechless. My sister in law (the bride) was in tears at how beautiful the painting came out. Lexi is such a professional and is extremely talented at what she does. You will not regret hiring her for your wedding! I wish I found her sooner, I would have had her at my own wedding - stunning work

Hi Kristen! Thank you SO much for this very kind review, it was so lovely painting for you all- What a beautiful wedding! You were a pleasure to work with! :)
Lexi was a last minute addition to our wedding planning journey and one of our best decisions! She was so attentive to detail and took multiple pictures of us, our dogs, and the ceremony space to make sure every detail was perfect. She was a huge hit with our guests and they loved looking over her shoulder to follow along as the painting came to life. She did a beautiful job and we can’t wait to hang our painting in our home for years and years to come!

Thank you so much for the sweet review, Meghan! I'm so happy that you love your painting- It was a joy to paint you two and your dogs as well! All the best to you two <3
I don’t have enough good things to say about Lexi and her incredible talent! From the beautiful arch my husband created off an idea in my head, to the beautiful flowers in my bouquet and on my dress, she captured every detail impeccably! Our guests have been raving about Lexi's painting and what an amazing job she did and how cool of an idea it was. People passed by and stood by Lexi all night in awe of her talent, just watching her do her thing. Do a live event painting, you won’t regret capturing the special moment in such a unique way!🤍
Response from the Vendor on 06/24/2024
I appreciate this so much, Laura! Thank you for these kind words, I had a great time painting you two! <3
Lexi is a phenomenal painter! Very experienced with wedding portraits, and a very talented artist overall. (Her instagram is full of gorgeous art pieces) The pricing is very reasonable, and communication with her prior to the wedding was perfect. Our guests loved seeing the progress, and there was plenty of talk about it during and after. We love that we now have the most gorgeous memory from our wedding hanging in our living room. The likeness is incredible in our painting!
Response from the Vendor on 05/13/2024
Pamela, thank you so much for the very kind review! I had an absolute blast painting for you two! All the best <3 :)
Lexi was incredible!! She is beyond gifted and her live painting was a huge hit at our wedding! It was just so amazing to see her transform the photo from our first look into a beautiful painting that we will cherish forever throughout the wedding. Our guests throughout the night would walk over and watch her paint and see it come to life. Lexi was very responsive, professional and was so easy to work with. I would highly, highly recommend Lexi for a live wedding painter. So beyond thrilled with the experience!!

Hi Samantha!! <3 Thank you SO much for this very sweet review, I really appreciate it! :) I loved painting your wedding- All the best to you two!
We hired Lexi after carefully looking at options for our wedding. We can honestly say we were totally blown away by the finished masterpiece. Just wow, the details are amazing! She listened to exactly what we wanted and it came out better than we could have wished for. Now we have a legacy heirloom piece that we will cherish forever! Thank you so much Lexi!
Response from the Vendor on 02/25/2024
Hi Eric! Thank you SO much, I’m so happy that you two are happy with your painting! It was so cool to get to paint that awesome vault with you two :D Wishing you both the absolute best!
I wish we could go above board and rate Lexi more than 5 stars. She of course made our day even more magical with her painting and presence. Lexi was able to help us decide what moment we want captured and even was able to throw in additional cute items into our painting that we asked for. We have received nonstop compliments from guests about how awesome she was and how much they enjoy talking with her and checking in on the painting throughout the night to watch the painting as she progressed. 100% recommend booking Lexi!
Response from the Vendor on 02/15/2024
This is so sweet Josh, thank you!! I loved painting all of you guys! Wishing you, your new wife and your lovely family a lifetime of happiness!
Lexi was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is super sweet, easy to work with, and set up meetings to communicate everything to me. She went above and beyond to capture every single detail of our special day. Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing it was to watch her paint and see the finished product. We are absolutely in love with the painting and are so excited to display it in our house for all the years to come! Hiring Lexi was one of our best decisions we made for our wedding day! We cannot thank her enough! ♥️

This means so much to me, Kristie! Thank you so much for the very kind words, it was an absolute pleasure to paint for you two! :)
Lexi is extremely talented and awesome to work with. Hiring Lexi was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Our guests enjoyed seeing the beauty of her art progress and we are beyond satisfied with the finished product!
Lexi was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I reached out to Lexi with an idea to surprise my sister (the bride) with Lexi, on the wedding day for a live painting of the first dance! I met with Lexi a few times prior to the wedding day via Zoom or phone to go over what exactly I thought my sister would like including the scene, who I would like to be included in the painting, how everything would be presented, how I wanted to do the reveal, & more. I so appreciated this part of Lexi’s process in that she took into consideration the prep for her painting and the details that we would want incorporated. It also made it so much easier on the day of the wedding in being sure that I had already spoken with the wedding venue team to make sure a spot was set up for Lexi to paint & that this spot had access to an outlet, a table for her, & all the other necessary components. During the reception, so many guests approached Lexi to watch her work her magic & ask her questions. It was such a fun add-on to the day that was interactive for the guests & doubled as a timeless gift. I could not recommend Lexi more to brides looking to add this to their special day or those looking to give a unique & heartfelt gift to the bride & groom in their life. Lexi’s painting now hangs in my sister & her husband’s dining room where they regularly rave to their guests about how incredible watching Lexi paint their first dance was - all the while giving them the chance to recount their special day together each evening over dinner. Thank you so much, Lexi for helping me to make my sister’s night even more so memorable & assisting me in giving her an exceptional gift I know she will treasure forever!

Katie!! This is so sweet, thank you SO much for the very kind review, I feel truly honored to have taken part <3 It was an absolute joy to paint them, and it makes me so happy that they love their painting! Appreciate you lots!!
I cannot say enough great things about Lexi but I’ll try. I had told my sister-in-law that I saw portrait artist ads all over Instagram and messaged a few to see if they had my wedding date available, but to not avail they didn’t. Until..that is..she found Lexi.
From the moment we discussed the details of our wedding my husband and I (and sister-in-law) knew we had to book her. She was so easy to work with and her art speaks for itself. She was super patient with us when we had our consultation because we couldn’t decide on what scene for her to paint.
Lexi is the consummate professional. She arrived on time ready to paint and by the literal end of our wedding we were gifted the most amazing piece of artwork..it was like we jumped into the painting. It’s so lifelike. She’s worth every penny! Book her before you regret waiting!
Thank you for making our day! Besides us - you were the hit of the night!! ♥️🫶🏻

Lexi Hannah was amazing!! Everyone was asking me where I found her and an entire line formed to watch her during my sisters wedding! She’s sweet, personable and works incredible hard to make amazing live paintings!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2023
Thank you so much Brooke, it was an absolute pleasure !! :) <3
I heard about Lexi’s wedding day painting through a colleague. From the very beginning of the process, Lexi has been amazing. She responded to emails promptly and made the time to thoroughly meet with me to discuss what I wanted painted. Our guest absolutely loved watching her paint my husband and I live during the reception. It was awesome to see the painting transform from our silhouette into a completed painting.
This was my absolute favorite part of my wedding and will recommend it to every bride I encounter!
Response from the Vendor on 07/12/2023
Hi Ashley! Oh my goodness this makes me so happy to read, I am so thrilled that you had a good experience and you’re happy with your artwork! Your wedding scene was so lovely to paint. Wishing all the happiness in the world to you two :)
Lexi is the best! She is easy to communicate with, punctual, and talented! Our guests were so excited to check in on Lexi throughout our wedding day. It’s such a unique and fun experience for guests. We absolutely LOVE our painting! Thank you so much Lexi!

Hi Claire! I LOVED painting for you two! Thank you so much for the kind words, I greatly appreciate it :) Cheers to the newlyweds!
Lexi is so great at what she does. We were blown away with the painting she created for us. Our guests kept commenting on how special her craftsmanship is. She captured our big day perfectly - her art is truly one of a kind :)
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2023
Thank you Tori! It was a joy to paint your big day! All the best to you two :)
My sister and Matron of Honor surprised us with this painting. She had Lexi do one at her own wedding and it was something we could not stop talking about. It was fun watching the process and the final product was beyond amazing. We will be cherishing this painting for years to come and it’s one of our favorite things we took away from our big day.
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2023
Thank you so much Courtney! It was lovely painting for you and your family, both times :) Cheers to you and Tori!
I don’t even know where to begin! Working with Lexi was the smoothest easiest thing in the world! She made my vision come true and then some! Words cannot describe how incredible the painting turned out, and not only did the couple love it but all the guest loved watching her work throughout the night. It was really incredible to watch. Would hire again and highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique wedding gift!
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2023
Thank you so much for the kind words Nick! It was an absolute pleasure working with you :)
If you are looking for a talented wedding painter, Lexi is the one for you! She was amazing with us through the entire process. She is always clear, communicative, and super sweet overall. I gifted this painting to my sister as her wedding gift and it was more than what I could’ve imagined it to look like. I asked Lexi to add in a special guest (our grandmother who had passed away and couldn’t be there to celebrate with us) of course she painted my grandmother so specific and so vibrant in the painting, it looks like she was actually there with us the entire time. My sister and her husband was amazed and so was the entire audience! I couldn’t be more thankful for Lexi for capturing this once in a lifetime moment. I will be using her for my sister in laws wedding as well in August, I cannot wait to see what magic she makes then!
Response from the Vendor on 06/08/2023
Thank you so much for these kind words, Chandanee! What a beautiful scene that was, and such a great crowd- I’m so looking forward to painting the next one! :)
Working with Lexi for our live painting at our wedding was so easy, wonderful, and special. Lexi is beyond artistically gifted. What's impressive beyond her talent is her organization and people skills to work with the couple to deliver an amazing end result. People were in absolute awe of her painting ability and it was a special touch that added something you don't always see at weddings. We love our piece and couldn't recommend booking Lexi enough. Book Lexi, you won't regret it!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/24/2023
Nicole! Thank you so much, this is so sweet! I’m thrilled that you guys had a good experience and are happy with your piece :) It was a joy to paint you two!
One of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding was to hire Lexi as our wedding painter! Her painting of our first dance is absolutely amazing and we will treasure it for many, many decades to come. We met with Lexi via Zoom a few weeks before our wedding to discuss the details of our painting and she asked if there were any specific elements that we would like incorporated in the piece. Recognizing it would be quite a challenge given the time constraints of live painting, we asked Lexi if she would possibly be able to include each of our bridesmaids and groomsmen in the background of the painting (there were A LOT of them!). Lexi willingly took on this challenge and did a truly fantastic job of incorporating them into the piece.
Lexi is an INCREDIBLY talented artist and she was an amazing addition to our wedding day - but, it is not just us who loved having her there - our guests did too! Several guests commented to us how they had absolutely loved seeing our painting take shape over the course of the afternoon and evening, and were all so excited to see the finished product at the end of the night.

Hi Cate! This is so sweet, thank you so much for this lovely review! I had a wonderful time painting all of you! Wishing you two all the happiness in the world :)
This was truly phenomenal experience. She painted my husband and I beautifully and all our guests loved watching her work. She was professional and respectful. Our family members are planning to book her for other events. She will make your wedding night so special and leave you with the best gift you will receive.

Hi Danielle! I appreciate it so much, thank you :) Yours was a very special scene to capture. All the best to you both!
Tom and I were so happy that we got to have Lexi at our special day. It has been a month since we've been married and our guests can't stop talking about how amazing our wedding portrait was! The painting is absolutely stunning and you can truly see how talented Lexi is. She captured our first dance perfectly and added little features in our painting that my husband and I requested. 10/10 would recommend having her at your special day too! You will not regret it! Thank you Lexi!!!

Lexi Hannah is the most incredibly talented artist I’ve come across! Her attention to detail is out of this world. I came across her page through Instagram and reached out and it was the best decision I made to go ahead and book her! Money well worth it. I still have so many people reaching out to me for her information and how incredible the painting is! 10/10 recommend Lexi for a wedding portrait painting!
Response from the Vendor on 11/09/2022
Hi Haleigh! I am so happy that you’re pleased with your painting! You guys had so much love around you and it was awesome to capture! I really appreciate your kind words and wish all the best to you and your new husband :)
If you are deciding on whether to hire Lexi as your wedding painter, consider this your sign to do it.
There isn't a rating system in existence that could accurately measure how amazing our experience was with Lexi. She absolutely knocked it out the park. We can't stop fawning over her paining of us and we probably never will! Our day was made immeasurably better by her contribution; truly a masterpiece!
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2022
Elizabeth! I am so thrilled that you two are so happy with your painting and I really appreciate these kind words. I absolutely loved capturing your beautiful fall scene, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day! :)
We are beyond happy with our decision to hire Lexi Hannah to create a live painting of our wedding ceremony! Not only is the painting absolutely beautiful, but the experience was unlike anything I have ever seen at another wedding. Our guests loved watching the painting come together, and they all had such nice words to say about the painting and Lexi! Lexi was great to work with, very responsive, and so friendly. If you are looking for a beautiful and detailed piece of art, I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2022
Sarah! Your wedding was such a joy to capture, thank you so much for letting me be a part of it. Everyone was so great! And thank you for the very kind words! :) All the best to you and Don!
Truly cannot begin to explain how incredibly talented Lexi is. My now husband set up a live painting with her as a wedding gift to me. She live painted my father daughter dance and I was blown away, it’s safe to say the second I saw the finished product that night I lost it. The piece she created has quickly become my most cherished item. Thank you so much Lexi for your incredible talent and you’re kind and gentle personality.
Response from the Vendor on 10/20/2022
Hi Meaghan! I’m so touched reading your kind words, thank you very much! Your wedding was beautiful and full of love and I’m thrilled to have been able to capture it on canvas. I wish all the happiness in the world to you and Tim! :)
If you want something unique, artsy, and mind-blowing you need to hire Lexi as your official wedding painter. The final result was absolutely breath-taking. Lexi captured every detail, emotion, and feeling of our special moment. My wife and I sometimes sit and look at the painting to jump back to that beautiful moment we had. A painting is in some way more powerful and emotional that a photo and we are so happy to have had her. Thank you Lexi!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2022
Kevin! Thank you so much for your sweet words, I truly had such a great time painting at your wonderful wedding. All the best to you and Karolyne!
Lexi painted our wedding ceremony and did an amazing job! She was flexible for me and in the end everything came out better than we could have imagined. Her painting of the scene of our wedding by the lake will be something we treasure forever. Highly recommend her and if you are thinking about having your wedding painted - do it!
Response from the Vendor on 10/04/2022
Thank you so much for your kind words, Gessica! It was an absolute pleasure capturing your beautiful wedding!
Lexi was so amazing to work with!! We absolutely love the live art she did during our wedding ceremony. We received so many compliments! I’m so glad we decided to work with Lexi, her art is one of the highlights from our wedding and love hanging it in our home!
We got married at a Sikh temple. Lexi was very curious and respectful of our religion, dress code, etc.
I wish I could give more stars since her art work is so beautiful. Such a special piece that we cherish.
Lexi was fantastic to work with. I hired her for my brother's wedding to paint a scene from the wedding as a wedding gift. She clearly communicated with us leading up to the wedding. She arrived early in order to sketch/paint the space and stayed all night to capture the moment the bride and groom wanted. She finished the painting at the wedding and they were able to take it home that night. It is such a special memory and BEAUTIFUL.
