Remember Your Wedding Celebration Forever: Hire a Live Wedding Painter!
A live wedding painting is a perfect way to capture your wedding day’s enchanting beauty and memorable moments in the most artistic way. Not only does the picture end up being an heirloom or favorite wedding keepsake, but having a live artist at your wedding celebration is a unique form of entertainment for your guests. Of course, most weddings still have a photographer in addition to a live painter. Still, these portraits can often capture extraordinary and intimate moments that a photograph cannot.

What does the live wedding painting setup look like?
Heidi Schwartz brings a traveling art studio to your special day. It is a unique, creative setup that you and your guest will be intrigued by and won’t forget. It looks a little something like this.
What inspires your creativity?
The moment, the environment, the emotions, and the people, I draw from all of these things. I like to think of myself as an “art detective” I am observing and capturing multiple aspects of your event to create a collage-like painting to make a one-of-a-kind forever keepsake.
How does live painting enhance the wedding reception?
The painting is created from start to finish at the reception. You and your guests see the entire process! It’s a peek into the creative world not many see, therefore producing unique entertainment and a wonderful conversation piece for your guests at your celebration and the rest of your life.
How does the artwork enhance a family’s memories of the Wedding Day?
The best part about having your wedding painted is that your piece of fine art gets to live with you on a daily basis. Pretty much everything else from your wedding day goes away, but the wedding painting lives with you in your home as a beautiful reminder and a precious family heirloom to pass on.
What is the process?
It all starts with a blank canvas and a simple message, hashtag, date, surprise (if it’s a gift), or whatever you would like on the white canvas. The canvas creates intrigue and some fun mystery for your guests.
As your guests come in, Heidi is usually taking photographs and getting ideas.
Depending on the timeline of the day is when the painting starts. It is fun to have the blank canvas at the very beginning so people can see the entire process.
Once Heidi starts painting, she is in hyper-focus mode! She may take a break now & then (get some cake), walk around, get some more ideas, and give my eyes perspective. Once painting begins, Heidi Schwartz is glued to the canvas so your masterpiece will be finished at the end of the evening.
What should I expect on my wedding day?
Heidi Schwartz will be there early to set up. All of the supplies are included in the painting fee, and the only thing you need to provide is a 10×10 area of space and an electric outlet for my light.
This is your day, and it is our job to make it as easy as possible for you!
Who chooses what is painted?
A big part of the creative process is observing and being in the moment. Every wedding day is different, and Paint Your Event will hone in on what makes YOUR day special, and that includes moments we may not expect! Of course, you can direct Heidi on what you’d like, but she will find it’s really lovely when she can take in the environment and use her creativity to come up with your piece. ️
Can my guests interact with you as you paint?
Absolutely. I’m a people person, and I enjoy chatting it up! I just may not look at them while I’m talking.
What is needed to book our date?
You can reserve your date with a signed contract and deposit.
