    Live Portrait Illustration by Chelsea

    <p>If you want wedding entertainment that feels genuinely different and a guest favour people will actually keep, then live guest portraits are the perfect addition.</p><p>I create <strong>one-of-a-kind portraits on A6 clear acrylic sheets</strong>, painted live at your wedding. It’s a fun, feel-good experience for guests (they love watching the process), and they leave with a unique keepsake they can take home and hang.</p><p>Each portrait is finished with a <strong>chain</strong>, turning it into a mini piece of art your guests can display straight away, not something that ends up forgotten in a drawer.</p><h3><u>So how does it work?</u></h3><p><strong>Step 1: I set up at your venue</strong></p><p> I arrive with my table setup and décor, ready to start painting as guests arrive.</p><p><strong>Step 2: Guests visit my table</strong></p><p> Guests pop over, I take their photo, and then I paint their portrait from the photo while they enjoy the celebrations.</p><p><strong>Step 3: Collect later</strong></p><p> Each portrait takes around <strong>20–25 minutes</strong>. Guests can return later to collect their finished piece, safely packaged in a protective sleeve.</p><p><strong>Step 4: Take-home keepsake</strong></p><p> At the end of my booked time, guests leave with a finished acrylic portrait which serves as a colourful, personal memento of your day.</p><h3><u>Packages &amp; pricing</u></h3><ul><li><strong>£350 — 4 hours</strong> (approx. <strong>20–30 guests</strong>)</li><li><strong>£550 — 6 hours</strong> (approx. <strong>35–50 guests</strong>)</li><li><strong>£800 — 8 hours</strong> (up to <strong>60 guests</strong>)</li></ul><p>💌 <strong>Custom packages</strong> available on request.</p><h3><u>What’s included</u></h3><ul><li>Live guest portraits painted on <strong>A6 clear acrylic sheets</strong></li><li>Each portrait finished with a <strong>chain</strong> (ready to hang)</li><li>Protective sleeve packaging for each finished piece</li><li>A unique mix of <strong>live entertainment + guest favour</strong></li><li>A fun, inclusive experience that makes guests feel seen and celebrated</li></ul><p>If you’d like to check availability, send your <strong>date + venue</strong>, and roughly how many hours you’re considering and I’ll recommend the best package for your guest count.</p>
