Do you want your wedding day or event entertainment to really stand out


​
Our art event YOUR GUEST CANVAS is geared to do just that. A new kind of event that's stunning the wedding experts.
"WOW, what a unique wedding service! I've never seen anything like this but it looks so much fun" Daniella @pretty & punk wedding.


How does this creative event work

​Cedars Yard invites you and your guests to join artist Emma (founder of the YOUR GUEST CANVAS event) to help paint a bespoke piece of original art for your home.

A pre-consultation discusses your style, what you'd like in a piece and colour preferences. Emma will then produce a bespoke canvas design just for you, so we can help ensure itll be a successful painting for your home.

​This fun and creative activity is a real conversational piece as guests watch each other work and admire the artwork as it progresses. You don't need to think you're particulary artistic as tape will guide you to paint in a section and Emma will on hand to offer tips or if you want to unleash your inner Monet your free to express yourself. All painters are given the opportunity too to sign a guest sheet so well wishes are easily passed on.

So why not get arty with a professional artist and paint a truly unique memento of your day that doesn't scream wedding .

A stand out event that creates conversation, creativity, laughter and even some competition.

REVIEW - Sarah, baby shower organiser, top.

I asked Emma to facilitate a Your Guest Canvas at my friend's baby shower. It was an extremely popular part of the afternoon and everyone loved taking part. Emma was amazing and helped everyone find their inner artist. She was also friendly, professional and well organised. My friend now has an amazing piece of art to hang in the nursery to remember her shower. I fully recommend this Your Guest Canvas for any large event you may be having. Absolutely five star!


REVIEW - Ben & Sato newlyweds, above.
​
We recently got married at Haslemere museum last month. Emma came and hosted a "your guest canvas" event. We weren't sure what to expect at first but Emma came round and discussed colours and her ideas. By that point we were so excited, Emma's enthusiasm and passion shone through and was contagious!

We arrived at our reception to see this big canvas with our guests buzzing around it excitedly, picking up a paint brush and getting stuck in. It was a wonderful focal point of the drinks reception - it stimulated conversation, creativity, laughter and even some competition.

Emma had thought of everything, even old-school backwards shirts so that suits and dresses were protected.

We came back from our honeymoon and Emma brought round the piece having put on finishing touches. It's just incredible - the colours leap off the wall and gleam when the light hits it.

Weeks later our family and friends are still chatting about it and they can't wait to see the finished piece when they come over. We're having great fun figuring out who did what bit.
​

The painting that hangs in our living room is so much more than just paint on canvas. It's got a little bit of everyone in it and we're so pleased that Emma could make this happen. We'll look at it everyday and remember our wedding - we'll truly cherish it. Thankyou.
