Elegant Live Guest Sketching by Krystyna
<p>Live guest sketching is a beautiful way to <strong>entertain your guests</strong> <em>and</em> give them a meaningful keepsake they’ll actually want to take home.</p><p>Throughout your celebration, I create <strong>quick, personality-filled sketches</strong> of your guests in real time — capturing those little candid moments on paper as they happen. It becomes part of the atmosphere: guests gather, watch the artwork come to life, and leave with a one-of-a-kind portrait as a wedding favour.</p><p>If you’re looking for something that feels elevated, interactive, and genuinely memorable, guest sketching is the perfect addition.</p><h3><u>So how does it work?</u></h3><p>Step 1: Set-up (30 minutes before guest arrival)</p><p> I’ll arrive around <strong>30 minutes before guests arrive</strong> to set up my sketching table and materials, so I’m ready from the moment people begin coming in.</p><p>Step 2: Live sketching begins</p><p> As guests arrive, I’ll start sketching right away. Each portrait typically takes <strong>5–10 minutes per person</strong>, depending on outfit detail and whether it’s an individual or group.</p><p>Step 3: The sketching queue</p><p> While the event is happening, I’ll take reference photos (and short videos) of guests and place them into a <strong>sketching queue</strong>, so I can keep sketching smoothly even when people are mingling or away from the table.</p><p>Step 4: Priority guest list (optional)</p><p> If there are certain guests you <em>definitely</em> want included — parents, grandparents, bridal party, etc. — you can send me a shortlist in advance.</p><p> <strong>Planning tip:</strong> allocate <strong>10 minutes per person</strong> when deciding your “must-sketch” list.</p><p>Step 5: Guests take them home</p><p> By the end of the event, guests can collect their finished sketches from my collection table and take home a keepsake to treasure.</p><h3><u>Guest Sketching Packages</u></h3><p>4 Hours — £620</p><ul><li>Best for: smaller receptions / drinks hour + early mingling</li><li>Rough capacity: <strong>~30 guests</strong> (varies by group sketches + detail)</li></ul><p>5 Hours — £720</p><ul><li>Best for: drinks reception + part of the meal / evening</li><li>Rough capacity: <strong>~35–40 guests</strong></li></ul><p>6 Hours — £820</p><ul><li>Best for: steady coverage across the main flow of the day</li><li>Rough capacity: <strong>~45 guests</strong></li></ul><p>7 Hours — £999</p><ul><li>Best for: larger weddings or a strong “guest favour” focus</li><li>Rough capacity: <strong>~50–55 guests</strong></li></ul><p>8 Hours — £1,200</p><ul><li>Best for: maximum coverage + biggest guest favour impact</li><li>Rough capacity: <strong>~60 guests</strong> (her benchmark)</li></ul><h3><u>What’s Included</u></h3><ul><li>Live guest sketching performance during your event</li><li>Set-up before guest arrival</li><li>Guest portraits created in real time (with reference photos to keep the flow moving)</li><li>A collection table for guests to pick up their finished sketches</li><li>A unique, personal wedding favour your guests will genuinely love</li></ul><p>If you’d like to check availability, send your <strong>date + venue</strong>, your <strong>estimated guest count</strong>, and roughly how many hours you’re considering — and I’ll guide you to the best fit.</p>
