Painted Favours

We absolutely loved having Natalie from Painted Favours at our wedding! She was fantastic to communicate with in the lead-up — so responsive, helpful, and professional. On the night, everyone was so excited to take their paintings home, and it’s such a bonus that we also get to keep a digital copy of them all. Guests loved walking into the reception and seeing Natalie painting away — it added such a unique and special atmosphere. People kept commenting on how hard she worked all night, and her dedication really showed. A special shout-out as well to her sister, who was amazing taking photos of everyone and making sure no one was missed. It was such a great alternative to a traditional photo booth and something our guests will never forget. Highly recommend Painted Favours!

Could not recommend Nat more! We hosted the Official VIP After Party for the Voltaren City2Surf 2025. Nat was incredible at creating portraits of our guests after the run. The feedback we received was incredible and everyone who attended the event could not stop raving about her work. She smashed out well above the illustrations we were expecting, and did so with precision and enthusiasm. Working with Nat was seamless and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much again for coming along to our event and making it so special :)

Natalie from Painted Favours was the first vendor I booked in after securing our date and location. I was so excited that she was available for our special day. Natalie is such a sweetheart and so kind-hearted. She took into account all our ideas for the wedding and executed them perfectly! She made our wedding day so special and we and the guests were so excited to check in on her live-painting updates. We got both the guest illustrations and canvas paintings and not only did she work on both all night, they also ended up looking so amazing! (I highly recommend both). Her assistant Phoebe was very sweet as well. I could not recommend Natalie high enough to anyone wanting a live wedding painter on their special day. The detail that Nat captures is immaculate and you can tell she has a real passion for art. Not to mention the speed with which she builds up the most intricate details. Nat makes sure her painting is perfect before giving it to the newlyweds.

We booked Natalie from Painted Favours for a client event and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Ahead of the event, she collaborated with us on a custom pre-design that beautifully highlighted Sydney’s most iconic landmarks. On the day, her live illustrations were an absolute hit—guests were raving about her work, and it added such a unique and memorable touch. The client was thrilled! I'd love to collaborate with Natalie for future events!

Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! Your live paintings were such a unique and special touch, and our guests absolutely loved it. It was amazing watching you create throughout the evening and seeing everyone so excited to take home such a meaningful keepsake. We’re so grateful for the time, talent, and care you put into painting each of our guests. It made the day even more memorable, and it’s something people will cherish for a long time. Thank you again for sharing your incredible talent with us and helping make our wedding day so special!

Natalie was one of the first vendors we booked well over a year in advance for our wedding and we are SO glad we did. She was one of the biggest hits of the wedding, not just because it was something wholly unique - but also because she was able to capture everyone’s spirit in such a fun and powerful way. Both Natalie and her assistant, Phoebe were so lovely and accommodating throughout the whole evening. How they smashed out 60+ paintings in a few hours is still beyond me. If you’re considering booking Natalie, don’t hesitate a second longer! You won’t regret it. Thank you Nat and Phoebe!
