FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT LIVE WEDDING PAINTINGS

I DON'T LIVE NEAR YOU, CAN YOU STILL PAINT AT MY WEDDING?

YES, I will travel! There are additional travel fees, but I would love nothing more that to travel to you for your big day! :-)

HOW MUCH DOES A LIVE WEDDING PAINTING COST?

The short answer is, it varies. It is all dependent upon the size of the canvas, and number of people and elements the couple wished to have included. Market research shows prices range from $2,000-$10,000 for experienced artists with a high level of skills. 

​

The cost to hire Erin Leigh to paint live at your wedding will start at $1,500. This cost includes all supplies I will need to create the painting, over two decades of experience painting, nearly a decade of painting at live events, the actual painting itself, completed to your specifications and satisfaction - varnished, wired and ready for pick-up, delivery or shipment. Shipping is included, travel fees are not included. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE AND A PAINTING AND HOW MANY HOURS WILL YOU BE ON SITE PAINTING?

It is hard to answer this question as every painting is a different size, and each has different elements included in the finished piece. I can tell you however, that I will arrive 2-3 hours before your wedding to set up and paint the background. I will paint through your ceremony and reception as entertainment for your guests. I will paint onsite for about 5-6 hours, then depending on the elements you wish to have in your piece, I may take the canvas back to my studio to refine add the details.

HOW MUCH IS REQUIRED TO BOOK A LIVE WEDDING PAINTING WITH YOU? DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

​

Erin Leigh Fine Art requires a retainer payment of $1,000 to hold your date. This payment is part of the total, not in addition to the total. The remaining balance may be paid in a standard three (3) payments (one due half-way, one due a month before the wedding, and the last payment due the week of the wedding) or can be split into smaller, more frequent payments. I am happy to work with you to create a schedule of payments that works for you. The last payment is due on or before the wedding day.

WHAT IF YOU ARE ALREADY BOOKED? CAN YOU PAINT FROM A PHOTOGRAPH AFTER MY WEDDING? IF SO, WHAT ARE THE COST?

If I am already booked on your wedding date, I am HAPPY to still create a one of a kind piece for you! All I need is a professional photograph to reference!

​

Costs will vary depending on the elements and number of people you wish to have included in your painting. A commissioned portrait will range in size and price from `18"x24" of two people - $1,500 up to 36"x48" of up to 10 people - $7,500. For a custom quote based on your vision for your painting, please fill out the form below.

WILL I GET TO TAKE MY PAINTING HOME AT THE END OF THE WEDDING?

Depending on the number of elements you wish to have captured in paint, I may need to bring the canvas back to my studio to finish the details. I will either ship or deliver and install your painting within 1-4 weeks after your wedding. This will be discussed during our initial consultation.
