Nicole has been such a wonderful wedding vendor to work with. We love having her talents at our venue, St James 1868. Many of our couples hire her for live paintings during our ceremonies or first dance at the reception. She is such a sweetheart and truly loves sharing her passion for providing a one of a kind experience. We highly recommend her!

Nicole was absolutely incredible! From the start, she was so warm and easy to work with, taking the time to understand our vision for the day. Our ceremony background was not easy (we got married at the Milwaukee Public Museum) and she painted the background so beautifully! Not only did she bring it to life, but she truly went above and beyond, creating something even more magical than we could have imagined. Our guests were captivated watching her work and loved the unique experience she added to our wedding. We are beyond grateful to have this beautiful piece of art and cannot wait to pass it down to our children one day. Thank you, Nicole, for making our day unforgettable!

Nicole was one of my favorite vendors to work with on our wedding day. She is so sweet, and has an amazing talent for capturing your special day with a unique piece of art. She also was kind enough to help us incorporate our pets in our painting, even when they couldn't be there at the wedding. It's little touches like that, that makes Nicole so special. If you're looking for a fun way to remember your favorite day, definitely book Nicole - she's the best!

Nicole is simply amazing! Having her at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made and now we have a one-of-a-kind and unique painting we can look at to reflect on our special wedding day.

Nicole's work is amazing!! I knew I wanted a live wedding painter and when my husband came across Nicole's page we knew it had to be her! Her paintings are truly something else and the detail is beautiful. She was so kind in working with us to plan exactly which moment we wanted painted and was so kind about a couple of requests that we had for it!
The day itself we were busy in the ceremony but so many of our family and friends made sure to tell us afterwards that Nicole was doing a beautiful job and that they enjoyed being able to watch her create the magic!
The final product is something so special to me and my husband! It is something we will cherish and hang in our homes forever. We are so thankful to her for this beautiful memory and for her kindness along the way. I would HIGHLY recommend Nicole!!!

Nicole is absolutely the best and I highly recommend hiring her to capture special memories of your wedding day!!!!!
We love our painting that she did for us. She was super communicative, answered all questions we had and was super easy to work with. We really wanted to do a paiting of our bubble exit, and when I shared this idea she was thrilled. She captured all aspects of my dress, the bubbles and our family and friends amazingly. We would easily recommend Nicole again and again !!

Nicole added so many personal, beautiful touches to our wedding day! She created gorgeous fans and water bottle labels that our guests used during our outdoor, summer ceremony. Each included unique details to our day, such as our timeline, little doodles of items special to my husband and I, and custom drawings of our ceremony and reception venues. They were such a hit and our guests LOVED them! Thank you Nicole!!!!

One of the most unique and fun aspect of our big day! We absolutely loved having Nicole paint at our reception. She was so amazing and even gave us a big reveal towards the end of the night. We requested a few extra details to be included, so she took the painting home and had it finished up two days later. This is one of our most favorite keep sakes from the big day and we cannot wait to have it hang in our house. If you are thinking of a live wedding painting, definitely go for it! Such a fun time, a great experience for guest, and a wonderful memory to cherish forever. Nicole was AMAZING at capturing everything we highlighted and more. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an artist!!

One of the best decisions we made on our wedding day was having Nicole there to capture it in paint. We hit it off from the start and we fell in love with her painting style. The painting blows us away every time we look at it. It was really cool to take home the painting that night too. We get our wedding photos in 3-4 months, so it was really nice to have an immediate keepsake. Also, our guests keep bringing up how cool they thought it was really cool that we had a painter! So many people had never seen it before. Anyways, I am rambling haha but if Nicole can be there for your date--go for it!! We love our painting.

We were so grateful to have NICOLE capture my best friends’ happiest moments of their lives through her inexplicable talent of painting! I contacted Nicole for her live wedding painting as a surprise wedding gift. She was a dream to work with leading up to the event and all guests enjoyed watching her process. When we hired Nicole, I didn’t think to consider her as “entertainment” but with the skill, kindness, and professionalism she brought to the event we all thought having her there enhanced the night. Thank you Nicole, you must hire her!!!

Nicole, I can not thank you enough!!! The painting is absolutely stunning and better than we could have imagined! The colors look perfect in our new home and every time I see it I am reminded of our wedding day. I know this is going to be a treasured piece in our family for a very very long time. And on top of that, you were a delight to work with and we loved your positive energy and joy you brought to our wedding day.

We booked Nicole after searching for a vendor who would do live sketches at our wedding. We were looking for a unique way to entertain our guests and to also capture the day. We were so lucky to find Nicole! She was amazing, professional, and wonderful to work with. She helped me understand all of the options and the best way to incorporate her into our big day. We were so grateful she was willing to drive from Milwaukee to the Chicago suburbs! On the day of she was so sweet and jumped right in to providing sketches during our cocktail hour. Later she went around to encourage more people to have a sketch done. She also captured a quick shot of us and then another during our first dance. The sketch of our first dance was absolutely STUNNING. We received rave reviews from our guests that they loved having Nicole there and thought it was such a unique and thoughtful way to capture the day. We cannot recommend Nicole enough! Thank you for everything!

Nicole captured the ambience and spirit of my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding day beautifully. Her painting could not be more perfect - such a lovely remembrance of a very special day in our lives. Our guests loved watching Nicole work as her painting capturing the day blossomed right before our eyes. In addition to her artistic skills, Nicole was a gem to work with. Very kind, very responsive.
