One of the best parts of our day. Emma was phenomenal, guests loved it, and the painting is amazing!
From the second we saw Emma on instagram, we had to book her - the idea is so unique. And we didn't regret one bit of it!!! Emma herself is wonderful - warm, responsive, great with ideas and guidance, and really lovely with guests. And the experience she provides is second to none! Your guests have the best time, it encapsulates something to personal, and you have something wonderful to hang on your wall too. Book Emma now!!!!

Unique guest entertainment
Really recommend using MYM for your wedding. The guests absolutely loved it and it's so cool we've now got an original piece of art we know has been painted by all of our wedding guests. Emma was fantastic throughout, very responsive and helped us with ideas for the canvas, and Shona was brilliant on the day. We used MYM during our drinks reception between the ceremony and meal and it was a great form of entertainment for our guests.

Best Entertainment/keepsake!
Emma is incredible. Our guests absoluty loved painting our canvas and we have the most wonderful keepsake. Communication was perfect and she couldn't have done more for us. Even more, the book with the photos and notes from our guests is so special. If you are looking for unique wedding entertainment and beautiful art, look no further. If there were more stars we would give them!

The most EPIC guest book!!!
If you’re looking for a guest book with a difference, book Emma for your wedding! Emma created a beautiful piece of art for our wedding day for all our guests to paint. Our guests all commented on how different the idea was and the finished piece is beyond what we imagined. Emma is so creative, we gave her so many ideas on our consultation as we wanted the painting to tell the story of our 10 years relationship so far and she just smashed it. We love our painting and the fact all our guests painted it for us! Thankyou Emma, it is sitting on our wall and makes us smile everyday 🥰

Unique and special
Such an original and cool idea that went down a treat at our wedding! Our guests loved having a go at painting, all ages got involved from 5 years old to 85! It really went with the fun and chilled vibe we wanted for our day. We now have unique piece of art that all of wedding guests contributed to, what a wonderful way to remember our special day. Emma was fab from start to finish, there is a real personal touch throughout. Planning a wedding is stressful but dealing with Emma was super easy. Thank you! Becky and Jonny xx

What a fabulous addition to our wedding day
Emma was so lovely from our initial meeting, creating various art sketches for us to choose and was always available to answer questions up to the day. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed taking part in painting a special memory of our day and commented on how lovely and helpful Emma was. We now have a vibrant piece of artwork for our new home and a great photo book of our guests painting the canvas. I would recommend this activity to anyone !

Best unique wedding touch
We booked Emma for her unique idea to be part of our wedding in May 24. We received so so many compliments about the idea with our guests loving the painting and feeling very special. Emma was incredible on the day, as we had a lot of guests for her to contend with. We have just received our incredible canvas, framed and put up in our living room, and it’s such a special piece to have with us forever. Emma also made us a beautiful book alongside with snaps of our guests and I would 10000% recommend her for a wedding! We loved it

The best idea, love it!
We wanted something to entertain the guests during our drinks reception (that wasn't forced upon them) and we loved the idea of having something at the end of it. Emma was great from the start and when we discussed our design options with her she came back with more than we ever could have thought. On the day guests really enjoyed doing the painting (those who missed it even said how gutted they were) and all have said they can't wait to see it in the house and point out their contributions! The finished article is just awesome, we love it! Highly recommend if you're looking for something different to treasure after your day.
