A creative idea to fit your budget:
I can create a link to gift registry page to help make this more affordable. This can be used for your engagement, shower, bachelor/bachelorette party and wedding. This will give your guests the option to give a special gift other than money. Let me know if you would like to discuss this option.
Frequently asked questions:
Q: How do you decide what scene to paint? A: This will be determined by your answers from our consultation call. I usually have an idea before the event, but changes may be possible for example if I see something remarkable like a sunset that would look beautiful if captured with paint.
Q: Do you finish the whole painting at the event? I try to get most of the scene and some amount of detail on the couple completed by the end of the reception. Finishing touches are added in the studio afterwards with oil paints and varnish.
Q: Can I have both a full-size painting on canvas and live guest watercolor portraits done? A: Yes. I would arrive extra early and this request would require the photo session with couple to happen prior to the ceremony. This will allow me time to start the canvas painting during the ceremony. Most of the work on canvas will happen in studio because I will switch over to paint guest portraits during the cocktail hour and reception. Please inquire for more details if interested.
Q: My venue requires all my vendors. to have small business insurance- do you have insurance? A: Yes. I will send your wedding coordinator and venue proof of insurance.
Special Add on:
Classical guitar during cocktail hour
My husband Andy has been playing classical guitar most of his life. He now is offering to play at the weddings I'm painting at as an "add on" for additional $300.00. During the day he teaches graduates students and runs a lab at Northwestern University. You can tell your guests you will be having an award-wining physicist playing guitar during your cocktail hour (he will answer your physics questions at no extra charge....).
