I cannot recommend Natalie enough. She added an element of excitement, entertainment, and creativity to our day that completely surpassed my expectations. Our guests absolutely LOVED checking up on the progress of the painting throughout the night and I can’t begin to express how fun and breathtaking the grand reveal was for me and my husband. If you are a 2026 and beyond bride or groom, I highly encourage you to consider Natsy Art as an addition of your big day. I would choose her a million times over!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Natsy Art—she was an absolute dream to work with! From the moment she arrived at our wedding, she was kind, thoughtful, and so incredibly talented. She set up seamlessly and even captured sweet moments from our day (like the shot of me just before walking down the aisle 🥹). Watching her paint during the reception was such a unique form of entertainment—our guests loved watching her progress through the night! And that grand reveal at the end? Absolutely magical!! Her finished portrait is proudly hanging in our living room and was the beautiful front cover of our wedding thank-you cards. Over a year later, and people are still mentioning the live painter at our wedding! We just recently had a couple of our guests hire her, too 🎨 🫶🏼 100% would HIGHLY recommend NATSY ART if you’re considering it!! She truly transforms your event into a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience 🌟🥰

Definitely recommend a paint party with Natsy Art. I am not artsy at all but I still managed to come home with a piece of art that I’m excited to hang on my wall. Natalie is friendly and welcoming and a great teacher. ❤️

Love love love!! Natalie painted guest portraits as our wedding favors and she was amazing! Everyone had such a great time with it and she did amazing! She also worked with us to create a custom invitation that included a personalized crest with painting of our dogs. It was beyond perfect and so so impressive.

As an event host and DJ for weddings, I had the pleasure of working with Natalie at a wedding recently. She is SUPER friendly and encourages people to visit and see her in action. She had a line of people talking to her and she didn't seem bothered at all. Her finished work looks awesome and is very talented. I would highly recommend adding Natalie as a live painter for your event.
