Ireland

What to Expect on the Day

Your illustrator arrives at the reception, sets up in a spot with good footfall, and begins working through the room. Guests come over, sit briefly, and watch their portrait take shape. Each one takes a few minutes. By the end of the night, dozens of guests leave with something personal and original — and the reception has had a creative energy running through it from start to finish.

For more on making your reception memorable for guests, see our guide to ways to entertain guests at your wedding.

Looking for a Live Painter Instead?

If you'd prefer a single large-format painted scene of your ceremony or reception rather than an illustrative style, our UK live wedding painters work across a range of styles including oil, watercolour, and impressionist.

FAQ

How much does a wedding illustrator cost in Ireland?

Pricing is based on hours attended and the type of illustration offered. Every artist on the platform shows their rates upfront on their profile before you enquire. See our guide to wedding artist costs for broader context.

Do illustrators travel across Ireland?

Yes. Most artists confirm their travel coverage when you enquire. Distance and any associated travel costs are worth discussing directly before booking.

What do guests take home?

Most illustrators produce individual portrait pieces that guests take home on the night. Format — size, medium, rolled or mounted — varies by artist. Check individual profiles for specifics.

Is there an option to commission something after the wedding?

Yes. Our UK commission artists create studio portraits and painted scenes from photographs in the weeks following your day.
