From My Heart: Why Your Review Means More Than You Know

As many of you know, every wedding I paint is deeply personal to me. I get to witness some of the most emotional, joy-filled, once in a lifetime moment and I never take that for granted. After the big day is over, there’s one thing that truly helps my small business continue to grow and reach more couples:

Your review. 

I know life gets busy, and writing a review isn’t always the first thing on your to-do list after the wedding chaos. But I want to share why your words matter more than you might realize.

Your Words Shape the Experience for Future Couples

Most people have never hired a live wedding painter before it’s new, exciting, and a little mysterious. Your review helps them understand what the experience actually feels like.

Here are a few beautiful things couples have shared:

“Such a hit at our wedding. People could not stop talking about how cool it was! Cayla did amazing and even surprised us with a drawing of our dog we had to put down a month prior.”
Feedback like this shows future couples how meaningful and personalized their artwork can be — even beyond the wedding day itself.

“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Cayla. Having live portraits given as guest favors is such a great idea that everyone will remember forever.”
Reviews like this highlight the experience beyond the painting, how the art creates connection, surprise, and unforgettable moments for guests.

“Cayla took two photos of a house, one from the 1800s and one recent, and morphed them into a painting that captured the spirit of the house.”
These words remind people that custom artwork isn’t just a service, it’s a way to preserve memories, history, and meaning in a truly special way.

Why Your Review Truly Matters to Me 

1. It helps me connect with people who value meaningful art 

When someone reads your honest experience, they feel more confident choosing a live painter for their own wedding. 

2. It supports my small, woman-owned business 

I don’t have a big team, or a fancy marketing department word-of-mouth and kind reviews truly keep my business alive. 

3. It helps me grow 

Your feedback shows me what moments stood out to you and what made your day special. It helps me keep improving and showing up even better for future couples. 

 4. It becomes part of your love story 

Your words, paired with the painting, create a little time capsule something that keeps the magic of your day alive.
