Thank you for being so gracious as to work with us as we planned your involvement on our special day. We truly appreciate you sharing your talent with us and our guests. We know everyone loves their sketches as beautiful reminders of our celebration.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Most fun vendor ever!!
I had an amazing experience hiring Ariel as a vendor for my wedding at the Olowalu Plantation House! We booked him to draw caricatures of our guests during the cocktail hour and into the reception, and it turned out to be one of the most fun and memorable aspects of our wedding. Everyone loved it! Ariel is not only incredibly talented but also very friendly and personable. Every guest who got a caricature done by him thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He made it fun and engaging, working tirelessly to create drawings for everyone who wanted one. Every time I glanced over, his hands seemed to be moving a million miles a minute!
A special touch Ariel included in our package was a caricature of my husband and me, which he completed ahead of time. He printed it on the back of all the paper used for guests' drawings and displayed it on an easel as part of his station setup. He genuinely took an interest in our story and collaborated with us to portray our caricatures as a stereotypical American and Australian, highlighting our immigration story. It turned out so cute and funny and made for a wonderful memento that we'll cherish forever.
Our guests also appreciated their drawings as keepsakes from the wedding. We saw many pictures of the caricatures posted on social media, and none were left behind, unlike many of our other favors.
Overall, I cannot recommend hiring Ariel for your next event enough! The service he provided was exceptional, his pricing was fair, and he played a critical role in making our wedding a unique and memorable experience for all our guests.
Thank you again, Ariel, for being part of our special day and for sharing your talent with our group!
Ariel was great to work with. He was so nice! Also, he captured us perfectly! It was such a fast turn around and the painting came quick!
We hired Ariel as our live painter for our Wedding Day and we are SO glad we did! Not only is Ariel insanely talented but he is truly such a kind, lovely person and takes so much pride in his work! He went out of his way to meet with us beforehand on location and get photos to perfect the images. Everyone was raving about him at the Wedding it was such a highlight for our guests and now we have the most beautiful painting of our first dance that we will cherish forever!!! Thank you so much Ariel, you're the best!
Hiring you was the best decision ever! We are absolutely thrilled to have this painting hanging in our living room. We relive this moment every time we enter our home. It's a show-stopper! People are constantly fawning over your beautiful work of art @arielquirozart you truly are talented! We are forever grateful you captured this moment in time for us to cherish daily.
This was amazing! We wanted to commission a painting from Ariel with me and my fiancé and he drew a beautifully colorful painting as our welcome sign for our wedding. Our guests loved the caricatures and it was such a fun addition to our wedding. Ariel is gracious, friendly and his work is worth every single penny. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend working with Ariel for live wedding paintings!
We had such a good experience working with Ariel and having him as part of our wedding day. Ariel did a live wedding painting with studio touch-ups. Before the wedding, we had multiple phone calls with Ariel to discuss what we were looking for in the painting. This was super helpful because it allowed us to give him an idea of what we wanted, rather than him just painting a scene from the day. It made us feel really good and I think it's amazing that he prioritizes his client's wants, and takes the time to speak with them about what they are looking for. We gave him a rough idea of the scene we wanted to be painted and then we gave him the artistic freedom to do what he does best. He did not disappoint! Having him paint live at the wedding was also incredible! All of our guests loved it and it was so cool watching him paint the scene live. I really would recommend a live wedding painting to everyone, and most important would recommend Ariel. He was very professional and made the process personal by involving us as a couple. Our painting came out amazing as well! He was quick and responsive and kept us in the loop during every stage of the process.

One of the best parts of our wedding
"After seeing a friend's wedding painting at her house, I googled live artists in Maui and am SO glad that led me to Ariel. He was so easy to work with from start to finish, has such a great attitude, and is so extremely talented. Our painting is everything we could have dreamed of and more, and he was so quick to get it to us after completion. SO many of our guests commented on how it was such a good idea to have done. You will not regret it!"

“Ariel did such an amazing job capturing everything about that glorious day! I will always look at the painting and be transported back.”
Zach, Groom
“When my fiancé suggested we add a live portrait artist, I didn’t know what to expect. It wasn’t until the day of the wedding waiting for her to arrive that I began to appreciate what we were getting. Ariel was setup painting the surroundings and interacting with our guests. It was exciting to watch him work. Then once we received the finished piece of art, I was speechless. It is beyond what I would have imagined.”
Debbie, Bride
“Words cannot express how thrilled I am to have a work of art hanging in our home to keep the love and joy of our wedding day alive. When we made the decision to have Ariel do a live portrait of our ceremony, I never imagined it would be so amazing. Not only did it capture the beauty of the day, his artistic approach added details (like our three kitties) that we never would have known to ask for. Our guests loved interacting with Ariel and watching him in action. He was full of happiness, which we feel every day when we look at our painting. Mahalo Nui Loa!”
