FAQ

How does the Wedding Day Portrait Experience work? Depending on your choice of Bronze, Silver, or Gold package, the experience can include different levels of preparation and finishing touches. Please get in touch for full details and a chat about what would suit your day best.

Do guests need to be good at painting? Not at all! The sketch is boldly pre-drawn and varnished on (unless you opt for the CGI version), making it easy for everyone to join in, from children to grandparents. It’s all about having fun and creating memories, not perfection.

How guests can the painting cater for? Well that is entirely up to whether you guests want to add their mark to the portrait. Most will be intrigued enough to dab the brush in the paint.

How can guests contribute to the painting? Well, that’s entirely up to them! Most guests are intrigued enough to dab the brush in the paint and add their mark, creating a fun, collaborative masterpiece full of personality.

What happens to the finished portrait? The completed painting is yours to keep. A unique and heartfelt keepsake from your wedding day, brimming with the energy and joy of your celebration.

What if the painting gets a bit… messy? It happens! If you’d like, we can take the portrait back to the studio for a gentle tidy-up service. This helps balance colours, smooth any heavy brushstrokes, and enhance the overall finish while keeping all the original energy and marks made by your guests. We don’t repaint or replace the artwork, as those brushstrokes capture the true spirit of your day.

This is an optional add-on service at an additional cost. Please contact us for more information.

How long does the experience last? Typically around 2–3 hours during your reception. It’s usually best to start early — before the drinks really start flowing, although that could be part of the fun too!

What do you bring on the day? Everything needed for the experience is included within your chosen package — easel, paints, brushes, aprons, and canvas. Please get in contact for full package details.

Can the portrait be personalised? Absolutely! Your wedding date, and colour theme can all be incorporated into the design to make it completely yours.

How far in advance should we book?As soon as possible, especially for popular wedding months, as dates can fill up quickly.
