Artists Approval Process

What is an approved artist?

All our artists are ‘approved artists’ which means they have undergone our thorough evaluation and review process to determine their skills, ability, style and background within their respective field of art. This evaluation process is used to ensure all our artists meet our standards of quality and professionalism, conform to our guidelines and abide by our T&C’s.

This validation can provide artists with increased visibility, opportunities, and credibility whilst also providing a sense of trust, security and assurance to each customer that the service provided will be to the highest of standards.  

What is our verification process

Each artist is assessed against our multipoint review process which includes;

  • Checking each artist’s style to ensure it can be applied to a wedding
  • Checking each artists ability to ensure they can produce high quality artwork. This includes checking an artist’s past work through portfolios, social media and commissions
  • Checking each artists location to ensure they are located within the UK as we are a UK based service
  • DBS checks to ensure all our artists are safe to work with.
  • KYC check performed by our payment provider Stripe, to ensure each artist complies with financial regulations
  • Eligibility check to ensure each artist is able to work within the UK
  • Checking each artist’s listing meets our guidelines and is fit to be published on our platform. This includes checking for any discriminatory, profanity, political or harmful/offensive content.
  • Checking each artist adheres to our T&C’s

Once an artist has passed our assessment, they will be visible and available for booking.

What happens if someone doesn't meet the requirements?

If at any point an artists doesn’t meet our assessment requirements, depending on the reason a number of steps will be taken:

  • Missing information – Missing information will be requested.
  • Harmful content – If any content is deemed harmful or offensive it will be removed immediately, resulting in the artist account being deleted along with any related information. Any payments already made to the artist will be refunded and reimbursed.
  • if an artist doesn’t meet our skill level – Any artist who does not meet the skill level required will be advised to practice and resubmit at a later date. These artists will still be able to create and account with us, but won’t be visible or be available for booking until their skill level has improved to a sufficient standard.

What are the benefits of using a approved artist

Using a approved artist offers several benefits. Here are some advantages of working with a approved artist:

  • Quality Assurance – The approval process ensures that the artist meets a certain standard of quality. Their work has been assessed providing you with confidence in their abilities.
  • Expertise – The approval process involves assessing an artist’s expertise and experience. This means that they are more likely to have the necessary skills and knowledge to provide a high quality and successful service.
  • Reliability – Approved artists are more likely to be reliable and professional in their interactions. They are accustomed to meeting deadlines, communicating effectively, and handling the demands of a project.
  • Reduced Risk – When you choose a approved artist, you are reducing the risk of hiring someone who might not deliver on their promises. Vetting artists helps minimise the chances of encountering unprofessional behaviour, poor work quality, or missed deadlines.
  • Creativity – approved artists often possess a higher level of creativity and have a track record of producing unique and compelling work, which can elevate the overall quality of their artwork.
  • Professionalism – Approved artists are more likely to adhere to standards and guidelines. Their professionalism can lead to smoother collaborations and a more transparent working relationship.
  • Adaptability – Approved artists are experienced in tailoring their work to specific client needs and requirements. They can adapt their style and approach to suit your vision, offering suggestions that improve the overall quality of work.

Although our thorough assessment process ensures each artist meets high quality standards and guidelines, it is a good idea to clarify all specific criteria before you commission one of our artists. This ensures they align with your vision, goals and standards.
