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!!!!

What every wedding needs!

I'd been following Emma for a few years on IG and as soon as we got engaged I reached out to Emma because I knew we just had to have her at our wedding. She was my non negotiatable (not that there was any negotiation involved). It was the highlight of our wedding and all our guests absolutely loved it! Guests have been messaging me ever since to see the final painting and tell me how incredible and unique it was. But most importantly it's something highly unique and personal to us that we get to keep forever! Emma herself was so flexible and incredible. I was nervous about the design process because I'm quite fussy and we had a few ideas we wanted blending together, but when Emma sent the concept through it took my breath away with how perfectly she got exactly what we wanted! The day itself Emma was friendly and amazing and everyone kept commenting on how lovely and helpful she was. And of course the final painting is beyond perfect, we are OBSESSED! Thank you so much Emma for everything, and if you're getting married and want something truly unique and personal Emma is an absolute must!

The most unique part of our day - guests LOVED it!!

Emma was incredible and this was the most incredibly unique part of our day - the guests loved it!! Emma joined us at our wedding reception, encouraging the guests to paints sections of a design we had made reflecting an engagement photo - every single guest said it was such a brilliant idea and loved participating! We have just had the painting delivered back home and its INCREDIBLE! we are going to hang it pride of place and cannot wait for people to come over and spot the section they painted :D the process with Emma was flawless from start to finish and honestly has provided us with the most amazing memento of our special day which we will treasure forever! - thank you Emma! Also p.s. we had a rainy day and Emma was so great at a quick relocation inside!

Great fun for guests and amazing memento of the day !

We had a fantastic experience with Emma and MYME. Right from the start up meeting we got a great feel for her enthusiasm and converting our ideas for our artwork into a framework with a suitably seasonal palate. On our wedding day she was very professional and accommodating with our guests, and great in guiding them whilst letting them express their natural style and design flow. She has been very helpful in getting the finishing touches right for our artwork and we cannot wait to get our hands on the finished product. If you're looking for something a little different at your wedding or special day you don't need to look any further !

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.

Better than we could have ever imagined!

Emma was very professional and creative. She really made the experience feel personalised and special for us. We had a meeting to plan the painting and she brought some very good ideas and helped us choose an idea that was unique to us. On the day, the guests, really enjoyed the activity and the artist present helped to guide them with painting. There was no mess at all and everything was left clean afterwards.

The painting itself was magnificent. It is really impressive takes place and our living room as a moment of the day, but also as a piece of art and its own right. We would highly recommend make your Mark.

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 🥰

A gorgeous touch

Emma and her talent was such an amazing addition to our day. Everyone said they’d never seen anything like it before, it gave them all something to do during the day and now we have the gorgeous canvas above our bed.
Emma was amazing throughout the experience, made the design so personal to us and was so friendly to everyone on the day

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
