Why Napa Weddings Are Special
Your Napa celebration deserves heirloom-worthy details. I paint chic watercolor guest portraits and provide luxury glass engraving (wine bottles, stemware, fragrance) live on-site—perfect for vineyard receptions and tasting-room soirées.
Frequently seen at iconic Napa venues like The Four Seasons Calistoga and Carneros Resort and Spa, plus intimate winery estates along St. Helena and Yountville. Guests leave with personalized art; you enjoy effortless, white-glove service.

Nope, I am based in Portland.
But lucky for you,
Napa is a fave and I frequently do events here!
Thus, I have a special rate for Napa weddings and events! -
You will need to pay a 30% non-refundable retainer upon the signing/receipt of the contract + security deposit (if applicable). The remainder will be due two weeks prior to your event.
For services that are based on final guest count, I will adjust the quote accordingly prior to final payment.

Travel fees will include but are not limited to Artist’s and support staff’s airfare, car rental, lodging costs for one night, and a per-person, per day Per Diem.

I require at least one 4-6ft table, 1-2 chairs, and access to an electrical outlet. If the event is outside during the day time, I must be stationed in a covered area.
