Hi, I'm Stacey Greenshield, a live wedding and events illustrator is based between Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.

Specialising in live guest illustrations, I attend your wedding before your ceremony to start taking guests photos ready to illustrate during reception and into the evening. I paint from photos, so there’s no sitting and waiting to be drawn, just a quick snap and collect at the end of the night!

Wedding illustrations are a hugely popular choice of entertainment right now, and I create a beautiful and whimsical watercolour and ink portraits of guests, and of course the newlyweds! My Illustrations are very unique in the market, think whimsical and nostalgic. These illustrations make wonderful and unique wedding favours, which are guaranteed not to be left behind!

Stacey, you made our day perfect!

Stacey was absolutely incredible and we are so so lucky that we were able to book her for our wedding!

A live illustrator was on top of my list when planning our wedding, and I'm so glad we found Stacey! I completely fell in love with her style, and loved seeing her work (as well as her funny Instagram reels) in the build up to our big day.

All of our guests really enjoyed being illustrated too and were so excited to pick their work up at the end of the night! They all had amazing things to say about Stacey.

Not only is she a talented illustrator, she's an absolutely amazing human being too! I spoke to Stacey just before walking down the aisle, and her relaxed yet excited attitude had really calmed me down the few moments before, so Stacey - thank you for that!

We've also had some family that travelled from abroad and Stacey ensured to sort these illustrations out first so they could definitely collect them and take them home! My best friend's partner was unable to make it to the wedding so Stacey asked for a photo of him and added him to her illustration so that she had a keepsake of them two. AND at the last minute I asked if Stacey could illustrate our lovely dog and she had no issues with that at all.

These are only some of the things that Stacey went out of her way to do to make sure we had the perfect day.

Stacey is absolutely fabulous and if you’re thinking of booking a wedding illustrator PLEASE book Stacey!!! We personally couldn’t have asked for anyone better and once again, I’m glad it was Stacey we booked with.

Thank you once again Stacey.

5* Guest Illustrations

I am so happy I hired Stacey to do live illustrations at my wedding! She was amazing, very easy to work with, and produced the most beautiful illustrations of my guests. She even added a watercolour halo after I requested this, even though it wasn't something she'd done before. Everyone was so excited when they were given their illustration to take home. It was definitely a highlight of the day.

Incredible

Stacey was amazing from the moment we booked her in 2024 until our wedding in 2026! Whenever we had a question she’d answer so quickly. When we finally met at our wedding we felt like we’d known her for years, she is so lovely yet so professional. We are so pleased we booked Stacey and our guests absolutely loved their illustrations. She did an incredible job, your wedding needs Stacey.

Review - Stacey Greenshield - live illustrator

Wow, I have no words.... Stacey left us and our guests speechless, our guest told us how amazing she was. Stacey was so friendly and is beyond talented and our guest said they have never seen this at a wedding before. The communication before/during and after your wedding from Stacey is outstanding, her communication is brilliant, she is also so kind hearted and friendly. Her paintings are incredible, us and all our guest absolutely loved her paintings, they was classy and so realistic. Stacey thank you will never be enough for you. You really did make our day so much more special, unique and personal, we are so so glad we booked you and had you at our day, you are a one of a kind!

Highly Recommend!

We are so pleased we booked Stacey for our wedding. Our guests, including ourselves, were amazed by how talented Stacey is. The paintings were beautiful and we can’t wait to see our own big portrait. Everyone was so pleased with their painting and we had so many compliments about how lovely the pictures were. Stacey is very kind and thoughtful. Easy to get a long with and knew exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much! 🩷

Stacey was brilliant! We found her through our wedding venue’s (Merriscourt) website, as a recommended supplier. We thought live illustration was a great and different, a not overdone wedding favour idea; our guests loved that they could take the pictures home with them! It created a lasting memory of our special day. Stacey was quick to respond and reliable. Thank you very much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wedding guest illustrations

Stacey was a perfect and unique addition to our wedding. Our guests absolutely loved their gifts. We can't wait for our A4 portrait with our little dog as an addition too, which she offered to combine despite us not being able to bring our dog to the actual wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of a more personal wedding favour for your guests.

Wedding illustration

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding illustrator! She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. Our guests were completely captivated watching her work, and the illustrations she created were not only beautiful but also such a unique and personal keepsake for everyone to take home.

So many of our guests told us how much they loved the experience. It really added something special and memorable to the day. Her attention to detail and ability to capture people so quickly was amazing.

We’re so grateful she was part of our wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to add a creative, personal touch to their celebration!

Couldn’t recommend enough!

Stacey was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! I messaged her on Instagram initially and she responded so promptly and answered all my questions really easily. Once booked, she kept me up to date and informed on everything she needed and on the day she just blew us away! Everyone was so thrilled with their illustrations and it really was a huge talking point of our wedding day!
Thank you so much Stacey, we adore our illustrations!

Perfect wedding favours!

We booked Stacey for our wedding in November and she was absolutely amazing! From the start she was so warm and friendly, responded quickly amd showed genuine enthusiasm. You can tell she loves her job! Everything on the day was perfect and she was bombarded by our guests who were all desperate for an illustration. We were able to order additional illustrations for those guests who weren't finished/able to attend on the day and we've had so many photos sent to us of them framed in people's houses. It was such a lovely alternative to the standard wedding favours that often get left on the table and one of our personal highlights!

Fantastic, responsive and so amazingly talented

When I got engaged in April 2025 I knew I definitely wanted a live illustrator at the wedding. However, I quickly got dismayed by the lack of responsiveness and transparency when it came to cost.
When I found Stacey's page on Instagram I instantly loved her work and was so relieved to see the prices of her packages on her website which helped me to know if this was something that would fit our budget.
Stacey had a variety of packages and was so easy to talk to, responding to all my questions.
I was so pleased we actually booked her before even booking our venue 😅
Our guests loved their illustration and everyone mentioned how nice it was to see them all layed and clearly seeing who's illustration was who's.
I would recommend Stacey to anyone who's getting married or just having a party. She truly was a pleasure to have at our wedding.

The perfect wedding supplier!

The booking process was super easy, and Stacey always replied promptly. On the day, it was such a hit with all the guests, everyone was so excited to get their illustrations and so happy with the final products. Such a special and memorable part of our wedding, and incredible value for money given the amount of work put in! Stacey was so lovely to work with, all the guests have remarked to how kind and accommodating she was on the day!

Exceptional Illustrations

Stacey illustrated for the entire day at our wedding at the Old Gore Barn in Cirencester and she was such a massive hit with our guests! They loved the personalised illustrations as a favour and all were raving afterwards about how sweet and thoughtful she was. Stacey was easy to work with in advance of the wedding and arrived promptly to ensure she was settled and ready to go once the ceremony finished. Having now met Stacey, we are so glad we managed to have her on our wedding day. The portraits were fantastic and we could not recommend her any more!

She also illustrated my dog who was our ring bearer and it’s just perfect!

Made our day feel even more magical

We had a caricaturist booked for our wedding who cancelled a month before, so I went on the hunt for someone last-minute — and Stacey replied super fast and was instantly so helpful. I expected it to be really stressful trying to find and book someone on short notice, but Stacey made it feel easy and reassuring from the first message.

Stacey was amazing, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From start to finish she was brilliant — friendly, calm, and professional — and our guests absolutely loved her.

The illustrations were not only gorgeous, but such a special keepsake. We’ve loved seeing friends and family sending us photos of their drawings afterwards and showing how they’re displaying them at home — it’s so lovely knowing they’re up and being enjoyed, rather than being tucked away or thrown out.

Stacey captures people so beautifully, and the whole experience added something really unique to our day. We’re also so grateful for our own illustration. When we got home the next day, it felt like we didn’t have any proof the day had really happened yet (or even photos of us!), so seeing our illustration made me so happy. Our venue even displayed it in our room so nicely, and it just felt like this perfect, tangible reminder that the day really happened.

If you’re thinking about having a wedding illustrator, do it. My now-husband did say “wtf is that?” when I first suggested the idea… but he absolutely loves our little framed cat illustration and our couple one now. He was also amazed by how many people messaged us afterwards with photos of theirs.

Thank you so much, Stacey, for being part of our special day and giving us and our guests that extra magic moment.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
