About Elena Fay
Hi, I’m Elena Fay, a luxury live wedding painter, event artist, and product designer whose work spans destination celebrations, ultra-luxury weddings, and refined brand experiences.
Eventspainting now serves as my destination-focused support site, built to showcase the markets, planner resources, and venue-driven insight most relevant to weddings beyond the DMV, especially internationally positioned and marquee-location celebrations.
I’m also often the right fit for clients searching for luxury wedding entertainment, luxury wedding favors, personalized party favors, and elevated guest-experience art for wedding weekends.
When I sketched at my first event in 2013, I fell in love with the energy of live art and guest interaction. What started as a passion quickly became a career focused on one thing: creating elegant artwork that keeps the feeling of an event alive long after the day ends.
What I Specialize In
- Live wedding painting (ceremony, first dance, reception moments)
- Watercolor guest portraits as luxury party favors
- Live art experiences for luxury brand events and private functions.
- Live fashion sketching for galas, premieres, and private events
I also offer custom illustration work, including menu and invitation art, portrait commissions, murals, stationery, packaging design, and branded illustration.
For wedding weekends, that can extend to engagement party favors, bridal shower favors, welcome party favors, and other custom event-favor formats that feel more personal than standard gifts.

Brand collaborations: Porsche, Cartier, Chanel, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Four Seasons, J.Crew, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus.
