Client Testimonials

We were so happy when my brother surprised us with a live painter for our wedding! We never saw this type of vendor at weddings before and weren’t sure what the process would be like. Well, Lakshmi was amazing! She was very communicative throughout the process with my brother and then with me and my fiancé about what to expect. She asked about which scene from our wedding we wanted painted and was able to get our full family in the painting as well. She even added little hidden gems my brother asked her to add into the painting that were so meaningful to me! Could not recommend Lakshmi enough. Our guests loved seeing her in action and definitely a highlight of our wedding!

Neha Trivedi
10/10!!! Lakshmi is so incredibly talented. Her beautiful work doing live sketches at our event made the guests so happy. Almost everyone at the event wanted one of her sketches, and she was able to make it happen. Her art really captured the beauty of each individual she drew. Not only is her product uniquely stunning but she is so professional and a true joy to work with...I can't wait to use her again!

Cate Marr
Lakshmi is absolutely amazing and I loved working with her. She was able to capture our wedding moment perfectly and all the elements we talked about. She’s great with communication and due to her warm personality, I feel like I was able to create a more personal bond beyond just the project.

Nipa Patel
It was a fantastic experience working with Lakshmi from start to finish. Starting from the very first inquiry, we found her to be very communicative and transparent. We appreciated her vast experience with Indian weddings and felt that she really knew which traditions would make for a great painting. She was also very kind and easy to chat with, which really made the whole process so smooth. As for the painting, it was amazing! Lakshmi is a very talented artist and we felt that she really captured the emotion of the moment she painted. She also made sure to take a ton of pictures during the ceremony of the rituals as well as the people we wanted centered in the painting, and that really showed in the detail of the faces and setting. She was also so professional and friendly with our guests - we got many comments saying how cool the live painter was and how interesting it was to see and learn about her process! Lakshmi was also very transparent with me as well regarding painting timelines, etc. And she took the time to meet up with me to hand the painting off in person! I really loved working with Lakshmi and would definitely highly recommend her as a live painter.
