Live Wedding Painting by Jacqueline DelBrocco

Out of all of the fun details that were planned and present at our daughter's wedding, the LIVE PAINTER, Jacqueline DelBrocco, was number one!! People are still talking about it. It was amazing for the guest to be apart of and watch, but the actual painting that was delivered is a treasure for a lifetime. I will also say, she is the most talented artist in this unique business, hands down. There were so many options to your choice in painting as well, Live- completed on site, Live and delivered a couple months after event for (additional) talent spent to perfect, or even after for a gift, using a photo!! So many sizes and price points too. SO not only is Jaqueline, beautiful, delightful and unassuming during your event but she is EXCELLENT at correspondence, which when planning a wedding is a blessing! Looking back, we are so happy we hired her, (and she gets booked!) rather than a ton of money in favors, over the top flowers to be left at the venue, fancy table settings, or the many many extras that are fun to plan but in the big scheme of the day, may not have such an impact as a live painter and piece of beautiful art!

I decided to have a live painter at my wedding as something unique to set our ceremony apart from so many others. I loved Jacqueline's work looking through her portfolio, but I was absolutely blown away when I saw our completed piece! Her painting captured every little detail of our day right down to the flower design on my shoes! Jacqueline was easy to get ahold of and very flexible throughout the planning/scheduling process. It was a joy to have her at the ceremony and part of the reception as she completed the painting. Our family and friends thought it was such a neat idea and we have received so many compliments on the final product. I would absolutely recommmend Jacqueline to help capture your big day!

One of my best friends hired Jacqui as a wedding gift to us. She blew our expectations out of the water. Not only has she been so genuine and wonderful to work with, but her skills are phenomenal. She has such a unique style where she paints everyone without their facial features. As an outsider looking at her paintings you can't tell this, but despite the lack of facial features she captures everyone SO clearly that you can tell who each person in the painting is. It's incredible. When I shared her work on social media, so many of our friends responded saying they could tell which person they were! One thing that was especially awesome was how perfectly she captured my father's Marine Corps medals (he wore his dress blues). He told me that he couldn't believe how accurately she matched the colors and the look of them. Jacqui truly captured the essence of our wedding day. She created something we will treasure forever.

Erika and I hired Jacqueline to do a 36 x 48 live wedding painting for us. We talked to Jacqueline a few times before our wedding and we thought that her style of painting was exactly what we were looking for. Jacqueline was very pleasant to work with throughout the entire process and was even willing to drive up to Detroit from Cleveland, both for the wedding and the delivery of the final product. On the day of, Jacqueline had a small set up in the corner of our venue and worked on the painting throughout our wedding to the enjoyment of our guests. While we were able to see the work in progress on our wedding day, it was not until the final painting was delivered that we could truly see what Jacqueline created. It turned out absolutely beautiful. The attention to detail was far beyond what we ever could’ve hoped for. The intricacies of the venue of ourselves as the bride and groom and of our guests including our parents (and the father of the bride’s peacock feather bow tie) were simply amazing. The detail on the lace wedding dress was exactly like the real thing. Jacqueline was able to make something that we will cherish for the rest of our lives and frankly something that not a lot of other people have. Both of us can’t recommend Jacqueline enough and will treasure what she has made for us.

Jacqueline did such an amazing job painting our wedding. I can't even put into words how impressed I am with our painting. You can tell she really put a lot of heart & soul into it. It was such a cool experience for our guests to watch and we have the perfect, most unique, gorgeous memento of the moment we said I do. I would definitely reccomend Jacqueline. She was very open and communicative about the process and so kind. She added every detail I wanted. I could not be happier! Thank you again Jacqui!!

I feel so fortunate to have gone through with Jacqueline and more generally a wedding painting. As time passes and you plan more and more of your wedding, costs very easily surpass your best intentions and a painting can seem unnecessary. I knew very little about what I wanted in a wedding when I got engaged, but I immediately knew I wanted a painter to come and entertain my guests and most importantly, commemorate our big day. A longtime art lover, very little transports me like a painting does. I knew as years went on, I'd feel more comfortable and more sophisticated displaying a painting than a large photograph, and I also wanted something that interpreted our day rather than just document it. Finding and then deciding on a painter was less easy than the decision to have one, however! It's also something I waited awhile to accomplish, just because the more pressing planning pieces took precedence. (Planning a wedding...it really is so much work!) So, I didn't help things out with the turnaround time either. There were two big names I had heard over and over again who were in the Mid-Atlantic region. I didn't like either of their styles, and one was really quite a good bit more expensive than most others, regardless of locale. Ever the good sleuth, I took to Instagram and began hashtag searching and came upon Jacqueline and another painter this way. Not only were their styles different, but they painted in different mediums. I loved both despite how different they were and they were both very willing to travel. One of the most obvious differences was that with Jacqueline, you get your painting about a month of so after your wedding date. With the other painter, I'd get it that night. Ever patient (I still don't have an album or my video yet), this didn't help me make a decision. I actually liked that Jacqueline went home to further work on the painting, using photos later on to make sure she captures everything meticulously. What helped to make my decision in the end though was quite simply Jacqueline's upbeat, very friendly nature. I really wanted my guests to consider the painter as entertainment in a way. Not dancing? Not eating? Why not walk over to the painter and watch his/her mastery? Jacqueline was wonderful with our guests. She was so approachable, but she was never showy or commanding attention. Part of this is just her lovely nature, but part of it is also the fact that she is lost in her art when she is painting, and that's part of the reason why you end up with such a unique piece unlike other couples' wedding paintings. Jacqueline's style really is unique in the event painter world. I did a lot of research. I looked into a lot of different painters. I became obsessed with how Jacqueline does not paint facial features but yet somehow manages to capture expressions and feelings without eyes, nose or a mouth. Needless to say when we did receive our painting this summer, it looked exactly like us. Without features, I knew I mitigated the risk that I'd hate the piece (thinking it didn't look like us), but what I didn't realize was just how much it could look exactly like us. I can even pick out our guests, and they are featureless too! She really just has the most unique style, and her diligence and sheer talent complement that. Thank you for everything, Jacqueline. It was a pleasure from start to finish, and really forever more, each time we take in our painting.

Jacqueline was absolutely AMAZING to work with. While our painting isn't totally finished yet because she is so committed to detail and making sure everything is perfect, we have no doubt that it will be just as stunning as it was unfinished on our wedding night. Our guests LOVED seeing her paint and were so impressed by the uniqueness of her work. She really helped make our wedding day so special and was such a pleasure to work with. We can't WAIT to see the final product.

Once again find myself unable to stop admiring Jacqueline DelBrocco's stunning live painting hanging above our mantle. As a surprise gift to my husband, David, and me, my mom hired Jacqueline to paint our wedding reception, and we are so grateful! Our guests loved watching her progress throughout the night, and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. It is a beautiful reminder of an amazing night surrounded by loved ones. Jacqueline perfectly captured the feel of such a joyful celebration and the fun of a packed dance floor. And to make it even more special, with the help of our photographer, she was able to add in the figures of specific family members. Plus, it was a pleasure working with Jacqueline. You could tell when she dropped the painting off how passionate she is about painting and how happy she was to know her work of art had found an adoring home. It is a gift we will cherish in our home forever!

Jacqueline's Live Event Painting was a huge hit at my daughter's wedding. It was great entertainment for our guests and incredibly cool to see her beautiful work of art taking shape before our eyes! She is an amazing talent! Jacqueline was a dream to work with, taking great care to make the final work something that expressed the spirit of the event and the personalities of my daughter and son-in-law. Katie and David were really excited to receive this unique painting as a memento of their special day. Jacqueline's work scored big as both live entertainment and a lifelong treasure. Huge Hit! Highly recommend!
