Having a live wedding painter at your Historic Venue 1902 Wedding can be a wonderful and unique addition to your special day. Here are a few factors to consider when deciding whether to have a live wedding painter:

  1. Do you appreciate the idea of capturing your wedding day through live art? If you and your partner enjoy artistic experiences and want to have a tangible representation of your wedding, having a live wedding painter can be a great choice.

  2. Budget: Hiring a live wedding painter may add to your wedding expenses. Determine if it fits within your budget and prioritize it accordingly. Remember to account for the painter's fee, materials, and any additional services they might offer, such as framing or prints.

  3. Logistics: Discuss with the Historic Venue 1902 team to ensure there is adequate space for the painter to set up their easel and work comfortably. Coordinate with them to establish the best vantage point for the painter to capture the scene and ensure they have proper lighting.

  4. Guest Experience: Consider how having a live painter might enhance your guests' experience. They can enjoy watching the artist at work, and it can serve as a unique form of entertainment during certain parts of the wedding, such as the cocktail hour. Since we have experienced the live painting at several weddings we know first hand that your guests will LOVE it!!

  5. Timing: Determine the duration during which you want the painter to be present. It's common for live painters to work for a few hours, capturing key moments like the ceremony or reception. Discuss this with the painter and ensure their schedule aligns with your wedding timeline.



Ultimately, the decision to have a live wedding painter at your Historic Venue 1902 Wedding depends on your personal preferences, budget, and the overall aesthetic and atmosphere you desire for your special day.
