100% Recommend- Hire Patrick!

I can’t recommend Patrick enough if you’re looking for a live wedding painter. Maybe you’re not looking for a live wedding painter specifically but just looking for something that makes your wedding extra special, something that adds an element for your guests and yourselves - this is it and specifically you should hire Patrick.

Patrick did an absolutely lovely job painting (honestly I loved the painting halfway done before he finishing touches) but he was also extremely lovely and easy to work with. He also was a delight for our family and friends to interact with as they admired his work and even contributed to the painting. When reviewing options I thought Patrick’s work was well beyond the skill set of the other options but didn’t consider ease of communication. Only after being in wedding planning lead up and on the day did I fully appreciate how lovely and stress free Patrick made things.

So thank you again, Patrick, for the lovely work you did. For any brides, grooms, or family members seeking a unique wedding present (with prior approval obviously) do not hesitate to book with Patrick. Enjoy your day and your painting x

Exceeded all our expectations and more

We feel so fortunate to have had Patrick Heisel MBE, as our live painter on our wedding day. Right from the start, Patrick was a joy to work with — approachable, warm, and genuinely interested in our vision. Communicating with him was effortless; he understood exactly what we were hoping for and was open to every suggestion we made. It was clear that he cared just as much as we did about capturing the essence of our day.

On the day itself, Patrick seamlessly blended in with our guests, painting with a passion that was inspiring to watch. The final piece was even more stunning than we imagined, with every little detail captured beautifully. One of the most lovely touches was that he included our beloved cat, who couldn’t be at the venue with us. It made the painting feel like our whole family was there.

After the wedding, he took the painting back to his studio to add even more details, like subtle silhouettes of our friends, which kept us as the main focus. Then, as soon as we returned from our honeymoon, he had the painting delivered perfectly to our door. Now it hangs proudly in our hall, and every time we pass by it, we’re reminded of that incredible day with all our loved ones and our vows.

We’re so grateful to Patrick for creating something so special. His talent and commitment to his work truly blew us away.

Absolutely Amazing

Patrick is truly exceptional. From the very start, he was professional, approachable, and incredibly easy to work with. It was clear that he genuinely cared about Jack and me, taking the time to understand us and my vision for the painting. He is incredibly likable, which made it easy for our guests to connect with him. He set himself up in an ideal spot where everyone could interact and watch the process unfold. Having him there was a wonderful addition to our day—our guests loved being part of the painting experience. The reveal at the end of the evening was absolutely magical and left us speechless. We’ll treasure our painting forever. Patrick took it home to add some finishing touches and returned it to us so quickly. I highly recommend him—his work is stunning, and the experience was worth every penny.

Definitely book Patrick as your wedding artist!

We booked Patrick for our wedding in December and the whole experience was great! From the start Patrick was so friendly and so accomodating. He arranged multiple phone call/ email conversations through the time leading up to the wedding to understand our vision for the painting. It was a pleasure having someone as lovely as Patrick at our wedding, he helped us choose the scene we wanted and executed the vision perfectly.

I am in awe of Patrick's paintings and talent. He spent 10 hours on my painting and the attention to detail was incredible. The background, the colours, my dress. He captured every single detail perfectly. It's amazing to see our picture perfectly copied over as a painting. He helped us capture the most special day of our life in exactly the way we wanted.

Even after the wedding, Patrick was very prompt with completing the painting and even very kindly made adjustments based on my preferences.
I am very grateful to Patrick for this beautiful painting and for going above and beyond at every stage. And I am glad that he was a part of our special day.

Surprise wedding with extra surprise

We invited all our guests to an engagement party which was in fact our wedding. Patrick did a brilliant job on our portrait. It is truly stunning. He also adapted to our surprise making it work for us which was exactly what we needed. He engaged with our guests beautifully and overall was great at communication and professional. Highly recommend
