We've been accepted as recommended suppliers by high-profile wedding venues across the UK
Your illustrator arrives at the reception, sets up in a spot with good footfall, and starts working through the room. Guests come over, sit or stand briefly, and watch their portrait develop over a few minutes. It becomes one of the most talked-about parts of the evening — something happening live, something guests take home, something that makes the reception feel different to every other wedding they've been to.
For more on building a reception that keeps guests engaged, see our guide to ways to entertain guests at your wedding.
If you'd prefer a single large-format painted scene rather than an illustrative style, our live wedding painters in England cover the same regions. We have painters in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Yorkshire, and Birmingham.
Pricing depends on hours attended and what the illustrator offers. Every artist shows their rates on their profile before you enquire. See our guide to wedding artist costs for a broader overview.
Yes. Most artists are happy to travel and will confirm coverage when you enquire. London-based artists regularly work in the home counties and beyond. Northern-based artists cover the Midlands and vice versa. Distance and travel costs are worth confirming directly.
Illustrators tend to work particularly well in contemporary, creative, and relaxed venues — though they're not limited to them. Browse individual profiles to see the kinds of weddings each artist has worked at and judge whether the aesthetic fits.
We have verified illustrators across Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, or browse all UK illustrators on our main illustrators page.
