Planning a destination wedding and want something extra special to make it unforgettable? Whether you're saying "I do" in the Tuscan hills, a French château, or on a sun-drenched beach in Spain—live wedding painting can travel with you.

Bringing a live artist to your destination wedding adds romance, creativity, and a personal touch that stands out, even in the most breathtaking locations.

Here’s everything you need to know about hiring a live wedding painter for your destination celebration.

1. Yes, It’s Absolutely Possible to Bring an Artist Abroad

As a UK-based live wedding painter, I regularly travel across Europe and beyond for destination weddings.
From Italy and France to Greece and Portugal, I bring my full setup and materials to your venue—no matter how remote or glamorous.

Live guest portraits or couple paintings can be done just as beautifully abroad as they are at home.

2. Why It Works So Well at Destination Weddings

Destination weddings are already full of magic—intimate settings, smaller guest lists, unique venues. Live painting complements this beautifully because:

Guests have more time to enjoy experiences
There’s a relaxed, luxurious atmosphere
Keepsakes are even more meaningful when tied to such a special location

Many couples say it becomes one of the highlights of their entire wedding week.

3. What’s Included When You Book Me for a Destination Wedding

When you book me to paint at your wedding abroad, you get the same high-end service as UK couples—with added travel arrangements taken care of. Your package includes:
✔️ All painting materials
✔️ 5–6 hours of live painting on the day
✔️ Studio finishing time if needed
✔️ Guest portraits, couple portrait, or live scene
✔️ Beautifully presented artwork
✔️ Travel arrangements and accommodation coordination

You don’t need to worry about a thing—I handle all logistics so you can focus on celebrating.

4. Costs and Travel Fees: What to Expect

Pricing for destination weddings includes:

A set painting package (same as UK weddings)
Plus travel expenses (flights, 1–2 nights accommodation, transfers)

I always provide a clear, transparent quote up front based on your location. I aim to keep costs reasonable, and often suggest affordable travel options to minimise extra spend.

5. Popular Destination Locations I Serve

Some of my most requested spots for live wedding painting abroad include:

Islands in Croatia
Tuscany, Italy
The Amalfi Coast
Provence, France
Santorini, Greece
Ibiza & Mallorca
Lake Como
Dubai & UAE (on request)

Got somewhere else in mind? Let’s chat—I’m always open to painting somewhere new.

6. Tips for Booking a Live Painter for Your Destination Wedding

Book at least 6–12 months in advance, especially for spring/summer weddings abroad
Share your itinerary so we can plan the best painting window
Let your guests know in advance—some might want to wear their best for their portraits!
If you’re having a weekend celebration, consider a painting session at the welcome dinner or day-after brunch too
