FAQs About Live Wedding Painting Costs
We live in an era where every time we go out to get a coffee, we’re faced with a dilemma when that little screen is turned towards us and there are percentage amounts added onto a bill when all you wanted was a quick coffee before you go sit in an office for approximately 8 hours of your day. To tip, or not to tip? So many hidden fees, taxes, etc. So hopefully, this will help clear up any confusion you might have regarding live wedding painting costs.
Do you tip a live wedding painter?
This is the wonderful news — you don’t. As a live wedding painter myself, we are setting our own prices so that you don’t have to feel that added pressure of giving a tip at the end of the best day of your lives.
While a tip is always appreciated, it is never something that I expect. All of the fees should be outlined and agreed upon in the contract before hand, and then you get a phenomenal painting at the end of it!
Do live painters finish the painting at the wedding?
Most of the time, yes! Especially if it’s just a couple being painted, that is something that can be done on the day of your wedding so that you can take it home at the end of the night. That being said, I always strive for near perfection in my paintings and want to make sure I’m giving my couples the best quality product I can. So if you choose a larger canvas, have additional recognizable guests included in the painting, or want to add in people/pets who weren’t there, then you can expect the artist to finish the painting in their studio to be shipped to you once it’s done.
Can live wedding painters include family members who couldn’t attend?
Yes absolutely! In fact, that’s one of the best things about live wedding painting. You can adjust the painting to how the day felt, or who you would have wanted to be there alongside you. All that’s needed for the live portrait artist is a couple high resolution images of the person/pet and some studio time to add them into your special day.
