Thank you for making our day feel so special!

We had the most amazing experience with Jenny and her husband who added such a unique and personal touch to our big day! Her paintings of our guests was such a hit — everyone absolutely loved it! The artwork was beautiful, and the fact that each guest got to take home their own personalised painting as a wedding favour was incredibly creative. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how special it made them feel. Jenny and her husband were so friendly and approachable. It was a special touch to the day and we couldn't recommend her enough for anyone looking to add something truly unique to their wedding! Jenny was so kind too and went out of her way to provide me with one extra painting in advance for my dad as a special gift to him. We can't thank you enough! We also loved our A3 portrait of us with some lovely messages from guests who signed it during the wedding. We can't wait to frame it to look back on!

Wedding paintings

Jenny was amazing from the start. So helpful with the booking and honestly worth every penny. My guests loved having their portraits done and she did an amazing job of making it so clear who people were without needing a face! Honestly recommend Jenny so much if you want something different that guests can actually take and treasure forever

Beautiful Prints!

Wow!
We booked Jenny for our September wedding as a surprise for all our guests. It was so special to see their excitement as they watched the prints come to life, and their excitement in finding their keepsake to take away, we used these as an alternative to favours on the table.
Jenny and her husband were so friendly on the day, smiles from start to finish and done a fantastic job in ensuring everyone had their photo taken for Jenny to work her magic with.
We chose the package which included a print of my bouquet, and I am so pleased we did as Jenny even captured the little detail of keyring with a picture of my Mum, something I will frame forever x
I can’t recommend Jenny enough.
Thank you so much for adding something special and fun to our day xx

The best, unique experience!

Our guests have not stopped gushing about Jenny & her illustrations - the best, most unique take away and it’s something you can keep and showcase forever.
Jenny has been incredible with her communication & flexibility and the cherry on top is the incredible drawings - not your typical ‘one fits all’, all her drawings are unique to the person and you can tell who each drawing is, instantly.
We would recommend Jenny to all & have even passed her details over to friends not yet engaged 🤭 10/10

Incredibly popular at our wedding

We saw Jenny’s business online as loved the idea of live art for our guests as a souvenir from our wedding. It was incredibly popular, and every guest wanted their picture drawn and were so impressed with their art. Jenny worked tirelessly to get them all done, with so many requests that she worked over the following days to get them all done and sent over. Everyone was so impressed, including ourselves, and were so grateful. Thanks so much, Jenny!

Very happy, highly recommend, the guests loved the art

We were really happy with Jenny’s art, our wedding guests all spoke about how unique it was, as none of them had seen anything like Jenny’s work at a wedding before. They were all very glad to take something home with them.

We’d definitely recommend for anyone looking for anything special and unique at their wedding!

Our guests loved the personal touch!

We are so pleased with the paintings Jenny did on our wedding day!

Jenny is truly amazing. She is helpful, flexible, and was attentive to the extra bits we wanted before our big day. Jenny’s communication was excellent, from our initial inquiries all the way through to after the wedding.

Our guests absolutely loved their paintings as favours and it’s so special to have these beautiful keepsakes to remember the day. We also treasure the personal painting she created for us on the day and the stunning picture she painted beforehand (having not met us, just from a few photos!) which we used for our guests to sign on the day.

We were on the fence about booking an artist but once we found Jenny and had exchanged a few messages back and forth, we found she was truly lovely and knew we had to go for it. Jenny is incredibly talented and professional and she was an unforgettable part of our wedding. I honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Christmas gift

After having my portrait painted at a friends wedding, I asked Jenny to paint my parents wedding portrait from a photograph, as a gift for my mum for Christmas. Jenny kept in touch the whole time, to let me know how things were progressing and when she had sent the portrait. She even checked it had arrived safely.
And when it did arrive it was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much Jenny.

Surprise gift for Daughter’s wedding day

Friendly, polite and so talented. I booked Jenny for my daughter’s wedding day. All the guests loved their illustrations and they will be a favour they will definitely want to keep as a memory of the day. I loved mine and my husband’s and have ordered a special frame to put it in. The bride and groom’s illustration is so beautiful too. Book Jenny for your event and will be so delighted you did. Worth every penny!

Jenny, an amazing illustrator and one of our favourite suppliers! 🤩

We booked Jenny very last minute as a live illustrator for our wedding in September and it was the best decision we made by far!!
From the very beginning, Jenny was so accommodating and couldn’t have been more welcoming. Nothing was too much of an ask and that is true even to this day (when I have forgotten to get illustrations of important wedding guests).
Her work is amazing and so is she.
If you are thinking about booking Jenny, do not hesitate. What a wonderful addition to our wedding day ❤️🥰

Most beautiful wedding favours ever!

Jenny was brilliant, she did not stop the entire wedding and produced the most beautiful pictures of our guests. So many people told me how impressed they were with her drawings and loved how unique they were, we had people gushing about what a beautiful memento of a day they were.
Jenny sent us later on the picture she did for us which is going in the middle of our guest book/frame and we are so impressed with how she got the details of everyone involved. We could tell immediately who the pictures were of even without their faces

Fantastic service

We booked Jenny for our wedding the end of August. Oh my, I'm so glad we did. It was lovely to offer something different to our guests & their feedback has been so good, everyone loved Jenny. She done stunning illustrations of our guests, our cake and a beautiful one of me & my groom.
She was professional throughout & leading up to our wedding we had good communication to ensure it all went smoothly.
Many of our guests have asked for her details. Don't hesitate to book!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
