Debbie was absolutely amazing. Our wedding guests were so intrigued because they had never seen a live wedding painter before. Everyone loved her and raved about how unique and cool that was to have at our wedding. We got married at the end of October and this morning on Christmas Day we received the finished painting in the mail. It is stunning. I can’t find the words to describe how much my husband and I love our painting. Debbie was so professional & easy to communicate with throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding until we received it. She has different payment breakdowns making it easy to pay out your art prior to the event date. She truly made it such an easy and delightful process for us.

If you’re looking for a wedding day or any event live painter I HIGHLY recommend Debbie Bowman Art. Will 100% book again on commission for future gifts for family and friends. 5 stars isn’t enough to show how excited and happy I am to have my beautiful wedding portait back!

Wedding day arrives and Debbie was fantastic!! We wanted our painting to be at our ceremony, which was outside. She started painting the background of the ceremony early in the morning in case we had bad weather. She took numerous videos and photos at the ceremony. Then she asked us what pose we would want. We decided us at the alter holding each others arms.

During the reception guests LOVED watching debbie paint away! Most of our guests has never heard of a live wedding painter and we’re astonished by her work! I had numerous guests come up to me and day things like “Have you seen the painting yet!? It’s amazing!”, “The painter gal is so talented! How did you find that?”

The only part of the painting we saw before the ceremony was the background. So, at the end of the night we did a grand reveal of the painting. It was everything we hoped! Debbie even added in our chocolate lab Sadie and a few hidden Mickeys for us (part of our honeymoon was at Disney Aulani in HI).

I would absolutely recommend Debbie to paint at your wedding! Also, I love her painting style as well. She can travel anywhere and will be a great addition to your wedding!

Debbie was absolutely incredible. My husband and I had a destination wedding during the holiday season and Debbie was absolute perfection. All of our guests loved Debbie and I would hire her over and over again for a wedding if I could. She is extremely personable and detail oriented. Debbie is also very reasonably priced, while we were looking for a live-painter, her pricing and quality just exceeded our expectations. She walks you through every single step of the process of your painting and it was an absolute honor to have her at our wedding in Hawaii! If you're on the fence about hiring Debbie or having a live-painter, just do it, you won't regret it at all. Our painting is hung in our living room and I couldn't imagine it any other way. Thank you again Debbie for all that you've done for us!

Debbie was so wonderful! She is easy to communicate with from start to finish and such a lovely person! I came across a video on TikTok and was so excited to see that she is based out of South Dakota and not too far from us! My husband and I wanted something a little different for our wedding, closer and more intimate. She wasn’t able to start painting until after the ceremony and she made so much progress. Our guests loved watching Debbie paint and we are so so happy with the final result! Thank you, Debbie!!

You definitely need to hire Debbie for your wedding! Not only did she give us an amazing painting, she also gave us memories to last a life time. She was so friendly and interactive with all our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to capture our first kiss. So again, hire Debbie! You won’t regret it!

Debbie was a wonderful person to work with! She did a stunning job and the best part was that she allowed me little girl to paint with her. This painting now holds more value! Her artwork is beautiful & did everything I asked for without no hesitation. Definitely recommended!
