What Live Illustration options do you offer for weddings?

Live Sketch by Danni B specialises in 3 personalised services. Stylish Live Guest Sketches drawn on-the-spot at your reception, Portrait Place Cards prepared before the day, and Custom Wedding Portraits used across your stationery and signage. Danni is also open to exploring creative concepts outside of her usual offering. Have an extraordinary idea in mind? Reach out to Danni to share your vision and start bringing it to life!

How many guests can you sketch?

Danni is a solo Live Illustrator. Whilst Danni can sketch very quickly, her focus is providing a thoughtful high-end experience for guests that honours quality over quantity. For example, across a 5-hour reception, Danni can create between 30 – 40 sketches. This can vary, depending on whether you would like full-colour sketches or black and white silhouettes.

What do wedding guests receive?

Guests receive their own original, hand-drawn artwork to take home as a wedding favour. It is a personal gesture that feels far more memorable than a traditional favour. And don’t forget - you and your partner will also receive a sketch on the day!

If guests miss out on receiving a sketch, what options do you offer?

Live Sketch by Danni B offers a After Party Service, where remaining sketches are completed off-site. These are then mailed to you to distribute to guests. After Party Sketches are a lovely surprise for guests to anticipate, keeping the spirit of your Wedding Day alive. Contact Danni for pricing.

What is the difference between Live Guest Sketches and Portrait Place Cards?

Live Guest Sketches are drawn on-the-spot at your event and gifted to guests as they go. Portrait Place Cards are sketched in advance from photos you provide (not at your event) They are then delivered to you to arrange at tables, serving as both a place setting and a wedding favour.

What is included with a wedding booking?

Live Sketch by Danni B offers several complimentary inclusions with all bookings. Custom-designed stationery featuring your names, event date, and location. Clear gloss packaging for sketches. Custom-designed signage for your event. And, a digital gallery of all sketches gifted to you and your partner as a memento.

Do you travel for weddings, including destination weddings?

Yes. Danni is regularly engaged for events Australia-wide and internationally. As Danni is Melbourne-based, events outside of the metro area include a travel fee. Contact Danni for information on her Live Illustration Travel Packages.

How far ahead should we book our date?

6 months’ notice is recommended for the best opportunity to secure Live Sketch by Danni B. If your Wedding date is approaching sooner than 6 months, don’t hesitate to contact Danni. She will personally review her schedule and explore how best to accommodate your needs.

What is a Custom Wedding Portrait and how can we use it?

A Custom Wedding Portrait is a hand-drawn artwork of you and your partner. You may choose to be sketched in your Wedding attire, or in a way that reflects your unique style, hobbies, and interests. Your Custom Wedding Portrait can then be used like a personal logo for your Wedding Day. Apply it to invitations, thank you cards, menus, and signage for a beautiful and flowing aesthetic. It can also be printed at large scale, as a creative centrepiece at your reception. Custom Wedding Portraits are incredibly versatile, infusing your day with character and individuality.

How much does Live Wedding Illustration cost?
