Live Guest Portraits
MAKING EVERY GUEST THE MAIN CHARACTER
What makes the portrait house different
Your guests are welcomed by a dedicated posing coordinator who helps them choose a pose that feels comfortable, flattering and true to their personality. They make sure your must-have family members, wedding party and VIPs are illustrated. Every person is guided through the experience from beginning to end.
Guided Experience
From the pose and outfit to the hairstyle, expression and personality details, each portrait is created to celebrate the individual. Our likeness-first approach is designed to make guests feel recognized, not simply sketched.
We Capture What Makes Each Guest Recognizable
We Bring a Trained Team
Our professional artists focus on creating. Our posing coordinators manage the guest experience. Our team arrives with a clear plan for setup, photography, portrait production, pickup and any work that needs to be completed after the event.
When studio completion is requested, remaining reference photos are finished with the same care after your celebration. Your collection may be delivered to you or shipped directly to guests, depending on the experience you select. Reference photos are added to a digital gallery for your saving & sharing.
We Plan for What Happens After the Wedding
Everything Feels Like Your Wedding
Your portrait presentation is designed to complement your wedding. Depending on your collection, we incorporate a custom monogram, full-color design, border, wedding details, sleeves, display elements or a complete portrait reveal experience.
This experience is offered exclusively by The Portrait House Co., and guests can't get enough of it. They drift back to the table again and again, anxious for the first glimpse of themselves on paper.
When a portrait is finally ready, your guest lights up. They hold it high for the room to see. They hurry off to show family and friends. Some, unable to wait, carry a finished portrait across the floor to place it in the hands of someone they love.
That's the energy The Portrait House Co. brings: not a favor handed out at the door, but a living experience your guests become part of and a keepsake they'll treasure long after the night.
Because every celebration is different, there are three ways to bring it to life.
Collections
The Portrait Hour
Original portraits, created live, for the hours that matter most.
The live experience in its purest form. Your guests are welcomed by our posing coordinator, guided into a pose that is theirs alone, and watch as our artists bring it to life on the spot, a keepsake to take home that night and a moment unlike anything they have experienced.
• A team of Portrait House artists and a dedicated posing coordinator
• A custom monogram designed for your celebration
• A VIP priority list, so the guests closest to you are seen first
Created for hosts who want the quiet luxury of artists creating original work live at the heart of their celebration, an elevated, interactive moment that captivates every guest. Portraits are created live only, for as many guests as time allows, with no studio completion afterward.
The signature
The full live experience, with every guest included.
Our most requested collection ensures every guest is represented. Each one is guaranteed a place in at least one portrait, whether drawn on their own or alongside the people they love. Families, cousins, and close friends can be captured together in a single portrait, one shared keepsake for the group. And whether a portrait is finished live or perfected afterward in our studio, every guest leaves knowing they were part of it.
• Everything in The Portrait Hour, group portraits included (a group being 3-5 guests)
• In-studio completion
• Studio-finished portraits delivered to you after the celebration
Created for hosts who want every guest to take part in the experience, not just a fortunate few. When every guest takes part, they carry the memory of the night with them, and each time they see their portrait, the beauty and joy of your celebration returns to them once more. It is how a host ensures their event is never forgotten, remembered by all who were there each time they see it on their wall.
The Portrait House
An immersive gallery of live art, with a keepsake for every guest to call their own.
Our finest collection unites the fully immersive live art experience with a keepsake for all, guaranteed. Every guest receives their own portrait, and many will take home more than one, but no guest is ever without at least a single piece of the night to call their own, whether given live or delivered afterward. As the evening unfolds, finished portraits gather upon a reveal wall, a living gallery that becomes a centerpiece of the celebration itself.
• Everything in The Signature, plus custom illustrated border or background
• Every guest keeps their own portrait, even when drawn with others, and may return to pose for more
• Portrait reveal wall or display installation
• Post-event delivery of studio portraits directly to guests
Created for hosts who want the experience in its most immersive form. There is a rare luxury in original art created live, by hand, and here it becomes the atmosphere of the room itself. The portrait wall rises like a private art exhibit unfolding in real time, turning your event into an artistic centerpiece and every guest into part of it. Any portrait finished afterward is delivered directly to your guests, shipping and all, so you are left free to simply enjoy the celebration you created.
Because each celebration is unique, final proposals are customized after a brief consultation.
