The UK and US marketplace for wedding artists. One place to discover, compare, and book verified painters for your day.
The Wedding Painters is the UK and US marketplace for wedding artists. We connect couples with verified live wedding painters, illustrators, and commission artists — all in one place, with pricing shown upfront and reviews from real couples on every profile.
Every artist on the platform has been vetted before they're listed. We check their portfolio, confirm their identity, and review their work. When you book through us, you're not taking a chance on someone you found via a hashtag. You're choosing from a curated group of professionals who've already been assessed.
Huw first saw the opportunity at his sister's wedding. A live painter captured the day — but what stood out was how difficult it had been for his sister to find an artist whose style she truly loved. There was clear demand, but no trusted way to discover and book wedding art.
The second piece came when Huw spoke to his cousin, an aspiring artist in North Wales. She explained how hard it was to earn a living from work she genuinely cared about, when there were no dedicated platforms to help artists get found by the right clients. The gap was obvious from both sides. So we built the solution.
You come here with one job: find the right artist for your wedding. We've built the platform around making that as straightforward as possible.
Every profile shows the artist's style, their price range, and reviews from couples who've booked them. You message artists directly — no agency middleman, no hidden fees. When you're ready, you book and pay securely through Stripe.
If you're not sure where to start, our wedding inspiration guides cover everything from how much a wedding painter costs to reasons couples choose live art over other entertainment options.
Browse artists →We built this platform for artists too. Before The Wedding Painters existed, talented live painters had no dedicated place to be discovered by couples who were actively looking for them. They relied on word of mouth, wedding fairs, and social media algorithms.
We give artists a professional listing, direct client enquiries, and the tools to manage bookings in one place. If you're a live wedding painter, illustrator, or commission artist and you'd like to be considered for the platform, apply to join us.
