How It Works

01.
Book Your Consult


Once you’ve confirmed your event date we'll book a 30-minute consult. During this meeting, you’ll select the moment you want to be captured and we will dream up a painting color palette that matches your existing interior design, so it’s right at home!

02.
Let’s Celebrate


Be in the moment and soak it all in, knowing I’m preserving your memories on canvas. I’ll be there painting, engaging with your guests as they watch and learn. By the end of the festivities, the piece will be photo ready and prepared for the “grand reveal” at your event!

03.
Finishing Touches


I’ll bring the painting back to my studio for touch-ups, varnish, and custom framing. I’ll take time to ensure that the piece truly captures the wedding's unique ambiance. Studio photos are provided to ensure you’re happy with everything.

04.
Receive Your Treasured Keepsake


Within 8-12 weeks you’ll receive your framed heirloom with options for prints and cards of your artwork.

I take pride in my partnership with premier local framers, ensuring that your piece is polished and ready for display when you receive it.

Kind Words from Clients

  • Lauren was amazing. I wanted to surprise my son and his bride with a live painter for their reception. I contacted Lauren and I knew this was exactly what I was looking for. She met me ahead of the ceremony and found out some details about the couple. She contacted the wedding planner so she could pull off the best surprise. The painting was a perfect representation of the day and much more than we could have ever imagined. So thankful for her and her incredible talent!

    Angela H, 2021 Mother of The Groom

  • Hiring Lauren was one of the best choices I made for our wedding. She was extremely easy to work with (because she’s just a generally kind and amazing human), punctual, detailed, and provided us with a truly unique heirloom from our special day. Lauren is very talented, and our guests were so impressed with the live painting she did that night and the final product. I will recommend her forever!

    Abby J, 2021 Bride

  • I can not say enough about Lauren and her work! She interacted with our guests, worked with our photographers and perfectly captured my daughter and her husband during their first dance. The final painting is proudly displayed and admired! Our guests were intrigued and enjoyed watching the painting unfold throughout the reception. While I was hesitant to hire a live painter, it was one of the best decisions and investments we made!!

    Anna A, 2021 Mother of the bride

  • I cannot sing Lauren's praises enough!! She is absolutely amazing, so talented, and such a joy to be around. I am so glad that we hired her to live paint our wedding! She captured our ceremony beautifully and created such a special keepsake for us. Lauren was so kind, communicative, and professional. Easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding day, could not recommend Lauren enough!

    Stephanie S, 2022 Bride

  • Watching Lauren live paint at my daughter’s wedding this past spring was a delight. I enjoyed talking with her while she was there, and so did the rest of the family. It added such a fun touch to have her there providing entertainment to the guests. The final painting will be a treasured piece of art for years to come.

    kathy o, 2021 mother of the bride

  • Lauren created something that I only imagined in my head! She painted the MOST BEAUTIFUL art at my wedding! From myself having no experience, she helped me go through every detail that I may would have wanted in my art piece. She asked and answered all the questions, had the best communication, was very punctual, and honestly had the best personality! She even frames the art for you!! I could not have imagined having any other artist at my wedding! Thank you Lauren!

    Abigail Y, 2022 Bride

  • Our wedding guests were in awe the entire night at watching her talent and the progress from blank canvas to nearly completely captured in just a short period of time. After not even considering doing this the first year planning our wedding and having another year with Covid, booking Lauren should have been a top vendor for me and I am SO glad we did. No regrets and was easily one of the best choices we made because of the timeless and unique gift we will now have!

    Ashley M, 2021 Bride

  • Lauren was a dream come true! She is so wonderful to work and is truly one of a kind! She is so genuine, kind, professional, and beyond talented! Lauren made our live painting dreams a reality! Highly recommend to all brides wanting a little something extra to capture your special day!! We absolutely loved our painting and cannot wait to hang in our home!

    Kate R, 2022 bride

 An experience for now, a keepsake for later.

Your guests can watch the painting unfold throughout the reception offering an interactive, entertaining experience that grandparents and bridesmaids alike will talk about for years to come. 

And unlike the short-lived band performance or photo booth rental, your custom artwork is a unique heirloom and a special keepsake you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Yes! I will get started at the ceremony and take photographs of the moment you’d like captured. At the reception, I will paint the majority of it, which is great because the guests can see!

  • We take on a very limited number of clients each year to ensure that our couples get the best treatment and our full attention. We want your experience working with Lauren O’Brien Art to be unmatched in the best way! Don’t wait to book your 2023-2024 date.

  • I fly anywhere to paint your love! Paris? Hawaii? Amalfi Coast? I am happy to make accommodations to celebrate with you worldwide! Additional accommodations and fees are required for events that are over 60 miles from Nashville, TN.

  • Rates start at $3,250, including framing. Prices may differ based on canvas size, location, and add-ons.

  • I will arrive about an hour before the event. I won’t start painting until your guests are filtering in. I love for them to witness the entire process from blank canvas to finished product throughout the night.

  • Yes! It’s never too late! I can also create a custom piece from a photograph even after the moment has passed. Check out post-wedding portraits in acrylic and post-wedding watercolors for pricing.
