Every Artist Is Human. Every Painting Is Real.
We have a strict zero-tolerance policy on AI-generated or AI-enhanced artwork. Every artist is vetted before going live, and we require verified process imagery, behind-the-scenes photographs, and lifestyle proof of real weddings before any listing is approved. If an image cannot be authenticated as genuinely hand-painted, it is not published.
This protects the couples who trust the platform, and it protects you. When a couple books through The Wedding Painters, they know they are booking a real artist, a real moment, and a real painting.
Your work is displayed in a marketplace that actively defends its quality standard. You are not competing against AI. You are competing on craft.
What Artists Say
"The Wedding Painters website has got me SO many more bookings than I would have had otherwise. An absolute gamechanger, couldn't be happier I decided to go with them. They make the process really seamless and reply to any problems super fast. A great, genuine team."
Live Wedding Painter · joined March 2026
"I joined mainly because I saw potential in the concept and I liked the idea of being part of a platform specialised specifically in live wedding painting. The most useful part is definitely the exposure and inbound enquiries, and having an external platform creates an extra sense of credibility for clients. I think the platform has huge potential in the luxury market."
Live Wedding Painter · joined November 2025
"When I signed up I had only a few live wedding paintings under my belt. Now, thanks to The Wedding Painters, this has become a strong branch of my artistic practice and my calendar has begun to fill up nicely."

Who We're Looking For
The Wedding Painters is not a directory. It is a marketplace with a quality standard. We review every application and every listing before it goes live. The couples browsing are premium buyers, and they expect work that matches that.
Established artists working at weddings and events, or talented painters ready to move into the wedding space. We look for confidence, warmth, and a clear painterly voice.
Artists who illustrate guests live at receptions, creating quick, characterful portraits guests take home. A distinct, confident illustration style is essential.
Artists who create commissioned portraits and wedding paintings from photography after the day. Turnaround quality and clear process communication matter most.
Apply and let us take a look. If your work is strong and you're serious about growing your wedding bookings, we will find a way to make it work. We are invested in your success, and our commission only comes when you get booked.
Growth Story
Price increase in first year of joining
Another increase
planned very soon
One of our established artists raised their starting price by 59% within their first year on the platform and plans to increase their prices again soon.
When enquiries come consistently and couples convert on the quality of your listing, price confidence follows naturally. You stop chasing volume and start attracting couples who value your work the way it deserves to be valued — as an investment to be passed down for generations. A well-placed listing on a premium marketplace is how that shift begins.
How It Works
Submit your application and portfolio. Our team reviews every artist personally, looking for quality, authenticity, and fit with the couples on the platform.
We review your images, advise on ordering, and help you write copy that converts. Your listing goes live once it meets our quality standard.
Couples find your listing, read your story, browse your work, and send you a message. On average, 25 couples do exactly that every week. You reply through the platform so you never miss one.
Our built-in quote builder makes sending a professional quote straightforward. The couple pays a 30% deposit to secure the date. The balance is collected automatically 30 days before the wedding.
Funds are released 24 hours after the event. No chasing. No invoicing. No awkward payment conversations. Just your work, and a growing calendar.
The Platform
Qualified couples come to you. No cold-pitching, no ads. They browse the marketplace, find your listing, and reach out, already interested in your work.
Send a professional, structured quote in minutes. Travel, accommodation, extras, all built in. The couple receives a clear payment link.
30% deposit at booking. Balance collected automatically 30 days before the wedding. You never chase a payment again.
Add all your bookings so your availability is always accurate. Couples check your dates before enquiring, so no double-bookings and one view of your business.
One-click video from any chat. Share your portfolio live and answer questions face to face. Artists who use video calls close more bookings, faster.
After every booking, couples are prompted for a review. Your best reviews surface at the top. Social proof builds automatically.
See how many couples viewed your listing, checked your availability, and where your enquiries come from. Know what is working.
Jack and Huw are available via Instagram DM and email. When something needs fixing, it gets fixed. When you need listing advice, you get it.
Pricing
No monthly fee. No subscription. No upfront cost. Our commission is taken from the booking total automatically, never added on top of your price. You set your rates.
No monthly fee, no risk. You pay nothing until a couple books.
Commission reduces as you build your booking history on the platform.
Maintain 10 bookings in any rolling 12 months and 14% applies from booking 11 onwards.
Commission is deducted from the booking total, never added on top. The couple pays what you quote.
Requirements
A minimum of 3 portfolio images, 2 process images and a profile picture to be considered, but listings with 5 or more receive significantly more enquiries. We look for strong finished work and clear compositional confidence.
Non-negotiable for live painting and illustration listings. We require at least one image of you working on-site, painting in a studio, or a past client holding your work. This maintains the authenticity standard.
All images must be entirely hand-created. AI-generated and AI-enhanced images are strictly prohibited. Any listing found to contain them after approval will be removed.
We expect artists to reply to enquiries within 24 hours. Couples are making significant decisions, and they deserve a professional, warm response.
