Reviews of Emily Paints Events (Painter)

Mikayla Alexander

Emily is incredible. She has painted images of my son. It is /was incredible. It hangs on the family wall with pride and I cannot get over how amazing it is. I have also had the joy of gifting Christmas gifts done by her which are always unwrapped with tears. In addition she has painted an amazing interpretation of a travel picture. It is bright, cheerful and is so special. It is an amazing way to capture memories in a different art medium. I cannot sing her praises enough. More then the final product of her art and work the process of working with Emily is easy, comfortable and professional. If you are thinking of booking Emily for a wedding, a commission or anything. Do not think twice. You'll have a piece of art that you will treasure for years to come.

We hired Emily as a live painter at our wedding reception, and it was truly such a pleasure to work with her from start to finish. She was extremely responsive when we first reached out to her, answered all our questions about the process, and followed up in the days before our wedding to make sure she knew exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding she impressed so many of our guests with her painting - we were getting comments and questions about her for months after our wedding. She took our painting home afterwards to really fine tune the details and lighting, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. I would definitely recommend reaching out to Emily if you're looking for a live wedding painter. It's such a unique sentimental idea, and Emily will work really hard to make sure it's done perfectly!

I worked with Emily as a fellow artist on a project this summer, and not only was her work excellent, the level of professionalism she showed towards project planning, executing her piece and marketing was top notch. As a less experienced artist myself, Emily took time away from her project to help me achieve the correct colour for my palette. Not only is she a great artist, she is a kind, caring person who is a welcome part of the KW art scene.

Emily did an amazing portrait of my parents. She really captured their personality. It will be cherished for many years. Thanks!

Emily painted at our September 2020 wedding and we couldn't be happier with the result. She's truly talented, incredibly kind, and great at what she does. The end product looks amazing and will no doubt be a feature in our house for years to come. We will continue to recommend Emily in the future and suggest everyone get a live painting at their wedding!

Emily is such a talent. We had her at our wedding on Sept 7th to live paint our first dance. All correspondence leading up to the event was polite, courteous, and punctual. She was totally on the ball and it filled me with confidence that she was going to be a professional on the day. She was such a perfect addition to our wedding day as well- she set up to the side of our hall but was still very visible so our guests could watch and interact with her. While I could go on and on about her 'in event' professionalism and courteous, the painting she created for us was outstanding. Her attention to detail in capturing both myself and my husband, as well as the detail she gave our parents makes it without a doubt our favourite wedding memory. For couples looking for an interesting and unique addition to your day, with the benefit of being able to take home an incredibly special memento from your day should look no further.

I truly can't say enough good things about Emily ! She is incredibly fun and easy to work with and is such a kind person. She did a live painting at our wedding and all of our guests absolutely loved it and still talk about what a unique experience it was. Emily was so great with all the communication and we loved how detail oriented she was with everything in the painting. The final product is absolutely stunning, Emily is so talented and created a beautiful art piece that we will always cherish. We can't thank her enough ❤️

We retained Emily for a live wedding painting during our recent ceremony. In addition to the experience of having Emily paint at your wedding/event, Emily's work is fantastic and would recommend her 100%. We absolutely adore the painting and appreciate the effective communication to make the vision come true. The framed painting now resides as the main piece in our living room. Very professional, respectful and courteous.

I commissioned Emily to paint a portrait of my mom and my now deceased dad in front of the cottage that they built together. She did a truly wonderful job in creating the perfect likeness of the two of them, and even managed to get it done in a short time frame because I was in a crunch! Her work is beautiful, and her skills are impeccable. I definitely recommend 10000%!

Emily is fabulous! I reached out to Emily the middle of November to draw a very meaningful photo for my grandfather. She was able to prove a gift that we never thought we’d be able to provide to my grandfather. Thank you Emily for being the kindest, and easiest person to work with! She is beyond talented, she will be recommended for years to come.

This past weekend Emily attended my daughter's First Birthday Party and painted a beautiful depiction of the day. She is beyond talented, kind and did I mention talented! Her art is detailed like no other, from the guests who attended, the focus of the day (our baby girl) and the environment the event took place in. Her work was an extreme wow factor throughout the day. My family and friends keep mentioning how unique it was to have a live painter present! It was also interesting to watch the progress and finally see the end product - very cool. My daughter will have a forever painting of her 1st Birthday hung up in her room reminding her of the love she is surrounded by in art form, so beautiful! Thank you Emily for the amazing experience...and art.

I will happily tell anyone and everyone about our wonderful experience with Emily!! Thanks to Emily we have a unique and timeless memory of our wedding day to forever cherish. ???? Emily painted and created a beautiful portrait of your wedding ceremony. Her attention to detail from decor, to facial expressions was incredible. Guests still talk about this experience and for many this was their first time seeing a live wedding painting. Emily's strong communication and social media presence also greatly contributed to our positive experience and review.

Emily painted a very special portrait that I gifted my mom. My grandma passed away in June and Christmas is big with our family so I reached out to Emily to have a family portrait painted of my grandma's last Christmas with us. She did a spectacular job!! She sent me updates on a regular basis so I could see the progress. Emily is very sweet and easy to communicate with. My mom absolutely LOVED the painting and cried when she opened it Christmas morning. I am so grateful for this painting and for Emily who captured the essence of my family. I am so appreciative for Emily and her talent as this is painting is something my family will always treasure. Thank you Emily!!!

Emily was AMAZING. Her painting turned out absolutely perfect and I will always be grateful that I got to have her at my wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with and she always was very positive. I loved the painting so much that I also ordered a hand painted ornament. I feel like having a live painter adds sooo much to your reception and you also get to have a beautiful piece to hang in your home. Book Emily, you won't be disappointed!

Alexandra Church

You must hire Emily for your special day! She was absolutely amazing to work with and created a truly one-of-a kind keepsake for us. We now have such a beautiful customized piece of art to hang in our home that is such a special reminder of our wedding day. We cannot recommend Emily enough, you won't regret it!

Jessica Ninguem

We hired Emily to do a live painting of our first kiss at our wedding ceremony. We went BIG! 36x48! It was Emily’s first time doing such a large wedding painting but WOW it came out amazing!!!! She was great at communicating the whole time and so patient with us rescheduling our wedding twice because of Covid. I wouldn’t recommend anyone better to capture a once in a lifetime moment. We will treasure our painting forever. Thank you Emily!!

Jessica Crate

I can’t say enough amazing things! I wanted to create a unique gift for my mother for Christmas by having a custom drawing of myself on my wedding day, my mom on hers and grandmother on her wedding day. Emily was quick and excited for the project and came up with amazing ideas. She ended up creating a digital portrait which I printed out at a local shop. The art was beautiful and captured all of us perfectly. Emily was responsive the whole process and kept me updated. I would highly recommend!
