What does live watercolor painting include?
Gabrielle paints guests’ outfits and silhouettes, individually or as couples, without faces or background scenery. Photos taken during the reception serve as references. These are guest portraits rather than one large painting of the wedding ceremony.
Painting materials, watercolors completed on site and a clear protective sleeve for each piece are included. Guests collect completed portraits at Gabrielle’s table during the evening.
Will every guest receive their own portrait?
One individual portrait per guest is not guaranteed. Package limits refer to the event’s guest count; portraits may show an individual or a couple. Share your schedule and expectations in your inquiry so you can agree on the time on site and how reference photos will be organized.
Are travel fees included?
No. Travel fees are additional for every location, including Montreal, Laval and the surrounding area. Gabrielle travels across Quebec. Provide the reception venue’s address so the quote can account for travel.
Are unfinished watercolors mailed afterwards?
Studio completion and mailing are not included by default in live painting packages. Additional arrangements must be agreed in your quote. Custom watercolor orders are a separate service with their own arrangements.
How should you compare wedding painting quotes?
Compare guest count, time on site, individual or couple portraits, materials, travel fees and pickup arrangements. Ask what happens if a painting is not finished by the end of the booking. A starting price does not necessarily describe the total cost of your event.
Live watercolor can combine an activity with personalized wedding favors. Its value depends on what you want to offer your guests; it does not replace a photographer’s coverage. Our painting and photography comparison explains the role of each service.
How do you request a quote?
Use the contact form to share the date, venue, guest count and event type. Include your preferences for portraits and the schedule. Gabrielle can then check availability and suggest a suitable package.
