Read MoreImagine your wedding day set against the enchanting backdrops of Italy – the rolling vineyards of Tuscany, the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, or the whitewashed charm of a Greek island. Now, add a unique, artistic detail that elevates the entire experience: a live guest sketch artist creating beautiful watercolor portraits of your guests, in real time.
Based in Italy and traveling across Europe, I specialize in creating elegant, on-the-spot watercolor sketches of your guests during your wedding. This live artistic experience adds a refined, personal touch to your event — each guest receives a one-of-a-kind keepsake, painted with care and precision.
Live guest sketching is more than entertainment: it’s a way to make your guests feel seen, appreciated, and part of something extraordinary. With every brushstroke, I capture not just appearances but the spirit and joy of your day, transforming fleeting moments into timeless mementos.
This bespoke service isn’t limited to Italy alone. Whether you’re getting married in Greece, France, or another dream destination in Europe, I’ll be delighted to travel and bring live guest sketching to your celebration — creating something truly unforgettable.
Forget the usual wedding favors. Surprise your guests with a live watercolor portrait, sketched on-site during your wedding. Each 14×20 cm piece is created in just a few minutes and elegantly packaged — a one-of-a-kind memento that reflects both your style and the timeless charm of your celebration.
Blending Italian artistry with a modern sensibility, these portraits are not only beautiful keepsakes but also a unique way to make your guests feel seen and appreciated.
Live sketching adds an elegant and personal touch to your event. As I quietly paint, guests are both entertained and honored — each leaving with a handcrafted piece of art to remember your day. The presence of a live artist creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that enhances the celebration and leaves a lasting impression on everyone.
Live guest sketching starts at €1,389 for a 2-hour session in Italy, including travel. This package covers up to 20 guest portraits. Additional hours and custom options are available upon request.

In most cases, I cover my own travel expenses, and no travel fee is required.
However, for certain locations in Italy, a small travel fee may apply due to logistical factors.
For example, if your venue requires multiple flights, long-distance taxi rides, or is located in an area not easily reachable by public transportation, a travel fee of €150–300 may be added. This is often the case for venues in Tuscany, Apulia, Sicily or Lake Garda.
Please note that I am based in Cagliari, Sardinia, and I travel across Italy and Europe to attend your wedding.
Bonus: If you book both guest sketching and live painting, I will waive any additional travel fees entirely.

The live portrait artist at our wedding was incredible! The watercolour portraits were a huge hit with our guests and added a unique touch to the day. Everyone loved taking home a beautiful, personal keepsake. Highly recommend!
She did a PHENOMENAL job on our wedding crest! She did the exact design and colors I wanted, and she allowed me to make as many changes as I liked!! She was very patient, and always VERY quick to respond. Absolutely amazing customer service and so so talented!!! I would suggest her to anyone!!! Thank you soooo much!!
We purchased a custom bar sign and it turned out so good! Both the drawing of our dog and our two chosen cocktails turned out beautifully and looked just like the pictures we sent! Super fast turn around and the seller was fantastic to work with, allowing us as many changes as we asked for.
Words cant describe how amazing she did my Golden Retriever. I am using this for my wedding and also having a Canvas made to go in my house. She has made my dreams come true.
Within 24 hours I had a first proof and it only took 3 days to finalize the dog portrait. I was so picky on how I wanted my dog to look. I even sent photos of different pictures of my dog to capture the exact expression I wanted my dog to have.
I never imagined the portrait would come out this amazing. Trust me, you must choose her. She is so patient, fast to respond and makes any edits you request.
Thank you so so much!
I LOVE what she made me! At first she didn’t have the drink I needed, but within a couple of hours, she made exactly what I wanted!!!
Thank you for being here — I’m truly honored to be part of your wedding journey!
As a live wedding painter specializing in guest sketching, my passion lies in capturing the joy, emotion, and unforgettable magic of your day through personalized watercolor portraits.
Art has been with me since childhood. What began as a simple love for painting has grown into a lifelong dedication to preserving meaningful moments through art. Whether your wedding takes place in Italy or elsewhere in Europe, my goal is to create lasting keepsakes that celebrate your unique love story.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working on both studio illustrations and live event sketches. Today’s couples often seek something beyond tradition — something interactive and heartfelt that makes their wedding truly unforgettable. Live guest sketching offers exactly that: an experience that engages your guests and leaves them with a beautiful memento of your celebration.
Having painted at weddings across Italy and Europe, I understand the importance of creating something truly special for your big day. That’s why I work closely with each couple to ensure my presence not only reflects your vision but enhances the atmosphere of your celebration.
The trust you place in me means everything. I take pride in creating sketches that bring people together, spark joy, and add a deeply personal touch to your event. Sharing these intimate, joyful moments with you and your guests is a privilege — and my mission is to enrich your wedding day with art that tells your story and lasts a lifetime.

The first step is to fill out the inquiry form and confirm that your event date is available. If you’re just looking for pricing information, please be sure to read the Investment and Packages sections before reaching out.
Once you’ve accepted the quote, I will send you the contract for signing. A non-refundable deposit will also be required to secure your booking.
If you’d like, you can book a call or chat with me. Please note that this option is available only on days when I’m not traveling or live painting. Due to different time zones, I personally prefer to communicate via email for more efficient responses.
Upon signing the contract, a non-refundable deposit will be required to secure your event and cover travel costs. The remaining balance is due 10-7 days before your wedding.
On the wedding day, I will arrive at the venue approximately one hour before the event begins to set up my table. I will stay for the duration of the hours booked as per the contract.
I will take a photo of every guest who comes to my table and paint them in the order of arrival.
Please note that I specialize in quick wedding guest paintings, limited to 1-2 people per card. My style is faceless, and the colors and details will not be identical to reality. This is not a realistic style. The portraits are quick, usually taking 5-10 minutes each, so intricate details are not possible within such a short time frame. The poses will be similar to ensure I can paint as many guests as possible during the session.
This style is different from my studio paintings, which require days to complete, and it is important to note that my live wedding guest portraits are not intended to be highly detailed.
Additionally, I do not offer other types of live painting, such as live group paintings, live venue or scenery paintings, or live bride and groom paintings.
