The perfect touch to my wedding day!

When I was planning, I wanted to have something a little unique during my ceremony/reception and decided on a live painter. After some research, I came across Esther. Right from the beginning, Esther was so communicative, friendly, and her work spoke for itself. While she is Jacksonville based, she traveled to my wedding in Fort Myers and I cannot thank her enough. She set up during the ceremony in scorching heat with a smile on her face and kept working on our beautiful piece all night. We had so many guests not only saying how cool it was but how amazing the work was. My husband and I were stunned at our reveal - "that looks just like us!!" - Her attention to detail is insane and I really could not thank and recommend her enough. Book Esther -- she will be the icing on the cake of a perfect day!

Incredible

Esther was amazing to work with! She responded in an appropriate amount of time. She was professional and fun! Seeing the base of our photo before adding finishing touches was a highlight of my wedding night and brought tears to mine and my husbands night! Now I have a unique piece of artwork on my mantle and I get to tell everyone who comes by about it! 10/10 recommend Esther and love hearing the compliments from my wedding guests about her as well!

Loved my Wedding Signs

Esther did an amazing job with both of my signs that I wanted on my wedding. I ordered a welcome sign from her, as well as a personalized sign I wanted at my ceremony cite. I really liked how I was able to rent out her signs instead of buying my own materials. Great quality work and great price!
