To get a personalized quote, please share your wedding date, location, and requirements through this platform or via email.

Once the quote is approved, I will send over a contract for review and send a payment link for a 50% deposit to secure the booking.
As your wedding day approaches, I will double-check all the details to ensure everything runs smoothly.
On the day of the wedding, I will arrive at least 30-45 minutes before the scheduled start time to set up.

At the end of the booked service time, there will be a chance to either extend the painting service or wrap up for the event, where I say my goodbyes and depart.
Payment of the remaining balance can be made on the day of or within a week after the wedding.
Yes, please! Live wedding painting not only adds a unique touch to your wedding but also entertains guests. Guests love to watch me work and are always amazed by the final product. It's a great conversation starter and brings joy to everyone involved!
It is important to note that for weddings with a large number of guests (over 50 people), I may not be able to create portraits for every individual due to time constraints. It takes approximately 7-10 minutes to draw one portrait and even longer for couples and groups. Additionally, not all guests may be interested in getting a portrait done.
Travel is included in a one-hour drive to your wedding venue if it's located in Sonoma or Napa County.
For venues farther than a two-hour drive, a travel fee will apply, which will be agreed upon before booking.
Full-day bookings more than 2 hours away from Sonoma County may involve additional costs for one or two nights of accommodation, depending on the wedding schedule.
International Travel
I have the pleasure of traveling to various locations around the globe and I would be delighted to provide my painting services at your wedding. However, it is important to note that expenses such as flights, car rental, and accommodation will be the client’s responsibility and we can discuss them further before finalizing the contract.
All travel fees are listed in the pricing matrix pricing page.
Of course!
I’ve created my art in various locations such as gardens, dance floors, bars, and dinner halls. All I require is at least 4 feet of space, including a table for my easel and finished portraits, and a chair or two. During spring and summer, I am happy to work outdoors, weather permitting.
The area allocated for illustration must have sufficient lighting. Inadequate lighting would hinder the quality and efficiency of the artwork, which would be regrettable. It is recommended that you take this into account while scheduling an event that runs into the evening or if the venue is not well-lit.
Yes, commission pricing and information are listed on the pricing matrix on the pricing page.
In our consultation, we can include other people, animals, or meaningful objects. We'll discuss how to incorporate them together to create a final painting you will love for a lifetime.

"Very cutesy, very demure!! 10/10 recommended, and would absolutely love to work with them again for a future event! No words can truly explain how grateful we were to stumble upon Vignette du Vin (Spencer) from a bridal expo... Going into planning our wedding, my husband and I did not have it in the budget to hire a Live Artist. Now, I realize that working with Vignette du Vin was absolutely NECESSARY and in fact, highly integral to the elevation of our event. Not only did Spencer work within our budget, it is clear as day that they will go above and beyond for their clients. When I mentioned our wedding was Star Wars themed, they did not disappoint and in fact, even included CUSTOM-drawn illustrations/stamps of specific Star Wars characters/symbols on each guest painting to perfectly tie into our event theme!! Our guests LOVED taking home the mementos, and all the die-hard Star Wars fans in the crowd could not help but marvel over the artwork - not just of the portraits but of the small themed customizations as well! Spencer was exceptional to work with... their attention to detail, enthusiasm and passion for their work truly shows. They delivered, she ate, and They left NO crumbs!! 10/10 recommended, and would absolutely love to work with them again for a future event!"

"We can’t stop smiling, thinking back on the weekend and how much joy your portraits brought to our celebration! You were such a hit — everyone absolutely loved their drawings. It added such a fun, personal touch to the day, and so many of our guests have told us how special it was to take home something so unique. Watching you work was incredible — you captured everyone so perfectly and with such charm. Your portraits truly brought so much happiness to the night and made the whole experience unforgettable. We can’t wait to display our own portrait and are even thinking about recreating it with one of our favorite wedding photos, just to make it extra personal while keeping your beautiful style. Thank you again for being such a wonderful, memorable part of our day. We’re so grateful you were there and can’t recommend you highly enough! Brooke and Chris, married in 2025"
