Best decision we made booking paint by gingers!

I couldn’t be happier with every aspect of Paint by Gingers’ service. We booked them quite last minute to create live illustrations as our wedding favours, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our guests absolutely loved them, and each person left with such a personal and meaningful keepsake from our special day.

The girls were so friendly, approachable, and wonderful with all of our guests. They stayed for ages to make sure as many illustrations as possible were completed, and even finished the remaining ones after the wedding and posted them out to us.

This was genuinely one of the highlights of our wedding day, and I can’t recommend Paint by Gingers highly enough. If you’re considering live illustrations for your wedding or event, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

Amazing illustrators

Paint by Gingers were fantastic through the whole process.
From booking, everything was clear and kept in touch including adding personal touches we requested. They were so friendly and flexible throughout.
The day itself was beautiful and so many of our guests commented on how talented they were and loved their illustrations. Paint by Gingers were so friendly throughout the day and engaged with our guests. We paid for extra studio time and I am so glad we did! Getting more photos through the post after the wedding was great and again nothing was too much trouble.
If in doubt, do it. It was one of the highlights of our day and guests already have their paintings framed and displayed in their houses.
Paint by Gingers - you were amazing! Thank you so so much. 🥰

Amazing Illustrations and lovely people

Painted by Gingers are fantastic, and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for illustrators for a wedding or event. Our guests absolutely adored their paintings and so do we. Painted by Gingers act as entertainment for guests (they get to watch the art being created) as well as the guests getting to take away such a special keepsake from the day. I would not hesitate to recommend them again and again. Thank you so much for being such a special and unique part of our day 🤍

Exceptional Service - Which Made Our Day So Special

We couldn’t recommend PaintByGingers highly enough. They painted gorgeous portraits of our guests at our wedding this summer, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Megan and Nicole were incredibly professional, friendly, and warm, as well as highly reliable and responsive - both throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Our guests absolutely adored their paintings - which they found such a unique and beautiful memento. We were also really impressed at just how many they managed to paint during our drinks reception. We particularly love our bride and groom portrait, which is now beautifully framed on our wall and will be cherished forever. We couldn’t recommend PaintByGingers enough - thank you for making our wedding day so special!
