FAQS

What medium do you use?

For larger events like weddings and corporate fundraisers, she uses Copic and Prismacolor markers on archival art paper. These high quality markers allow her to work quickly, leaving guests with vibrant pieces that will last for years.

For smaller gatherings, such as bridal showers and intimate store pop-ups, Emily offers genuine watercolor illustrations. This beautiful, slower process adds a soft, romantic touch to any event.

How does it work at an event?

Emily can tailor her approach based on the guest list size, venue space, and schedule of your event.

For small gatherings, guests can stay nearby and mingle while being illustrated, which is especially beneficial for corporate parties to foster networking.

At larger events, she utilizes a sign-up sheet and photo references. This way, guests can dance, eat, and enjoy the festivities, then swing by later to collect their finished illustrations.

What setup do you need?

Emily requires a table to work at—ideally a table larger than a cocktail table for smaller events or a 4' table for larger events. A well-lit space in the venue when the party starts is preferred. She also brings a sleek white desk lamp as a backup to ensure proper lighting.

Can I add my own branding?

Absolutely! As the event date approaches, Emily will collaborate with you to create a custom drawing template that complements your event.

For weddings, the template typically includes names, date, and/or a wedding logo. If you have specific wedding stationery or a color scheme, Emily can incorporate those elements into the design.

For corporate events, the template often features the brand logo, event name, and date. If you have brand guidelines or files available, Emily can seamlessly integrate them into your template.

Do You Travel?

Emily is more than willing to take this show on the road! She is currently based in York, Pennsylvania. Venues more than 2 hours from York, PA will incur added travel expenses.
