When planning your wedding, you strive to make it memorable—not only for you but also for your guests. From the flowers to the favors, every detail contributes to creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you are looking for something truly unique to surprise and delight your loved ones, consider the enchanting world of Guest Sketching.
What is Guest Sketching?
Guest Sketching is a live art service where an artist captures your guests on paper in real time during the wedding. Unlike a traditional photo booth or pre-made favors, each guest receives a personalized and one-of-a-kind sketch of themselves as a keepsake from your special day.
These sketches are often quick, capturing the essence of your guests’ presence and style—making them perfect for weddings where elegance and creativity meet.
Why is Guest Sketching So Special?
- Personalized Keepsakes:
Every guest receives their own hand-sketched portrait. It’s more than a wedding favor; it’s a mini work of art that will remind them of the wonderful day they spent celebrating you. - Live Entertainment:
Watching an artist at work is fascinating and adds a touch of sophistication to your wedding. Guests love to see their sketches come to life, making it both interactive and entertaining. - Unique and Memorable:
Unlike generic favors, guest sketches are deeply personal and timeless. It’s something your guests will cherish and display for years to come. - Adaptable to Your Theme:
Whether your wedding is formal, whimsical, or destination-based, sketches can reflect the vibe of your big day, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
How Does It Work?
- Setup: I arrive with my materials, including a small easel and high-quality paper.
- Live Sketching: Each guest or small group is invited to pose for a moment (even candid sketches work beautifully), and I create a quick but refined illustration using delicate watercolors or ink.
- Delivery: The finished sketches are elegantly presented—ready to be taken home as a lasting keepsake.
What Makes My Guest Sketches Unique?
I bring my artistic style—clean lines, elegant details, and a touch of minimalism. My sketches capture not just the appearance but also the mood and essence of the people I draw. Guests don’t need to stand still for long; the magic happens quickly, ensuring everyone can enjoy the celebration while also receiving their special portrait.
Here’s an example of what your guests can expect:
Why Choose Guest Sketching for Your Destination Wedding?
If you’re hosting your wedding in places like Santorini or Italy, the picturesque setting pairs perfectly with the elegance of live guest sketches. The gentle brush strokes and thoughtful details become even more meaningful against a backdrop of beautiful scenery and love.

Guest Sketching is more than a favor—it’s a meaningful experience for your guests, a unique form of entertainment, and an artistic memento of your day. Whether you’re celebrating with a small, intimate gathering or a grand destination wedding, live sketching adds that extra touch of personalization and elegance.
