How to book a live artist for your wedding in 2024


Live guest illustrations at weddings and garden parties have gained significant popularity in 2023 onwards .

Instead of traditional party favors or photo booths, hosts are opting to offer their guests personalised and unique illustrations to take home as cherished souvenirs of the celebration.

Live guest illustrations entail the hiring of a professional live event artist to create on-the-spot sketches or illustrations of guests during the drinks reception . 

The artist may employ various mediums, including watercolors, pencils, or even digital tablets, to craft these one-of-a-kind drawings. Guests can either pose for the artist or continue enjoying the party, and the artist will skillfully capture their natural party spirit.

The advantages of live guest illustrations at private parties are abundant. First and foremost, it provides guests with a distinctive and personal keepsake that they can treasure. Unlike typical party favors, which can be forgettable, these live illustrations are tailored to each guest, serving as a special reminder of the gathering.

Moreover, live illustrations can serve as engaging entertainment during the afternoon. Guests can observe the artist at work, interact with them, and even offer suggestions for their illustrations, making it a delightful and interactive activity that keeps everyone in high spirits, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
