So, you're knee-deep in wedding planning, right? Picking out flowers, sampling cakes, and trying to find that perfect outfit. But let me tell you, there's one thing you never knew you absolutely needed to make your big day unforgettable: Rubbish Portraits by the insanely talented Lucie Sheridan and her incredible Live Portrait Booth! And trust us, this is anything but rubbish.

Before you roll your eyes and think, "Why on earth do I need portraits at my wedding?" hear me out.

Looking for the ultimate conversation starter? Something quirky, fun, and totally unforgettable for your wedding? This is the kind of entertainment that doubles as an icebreaker and leaves your guests with super cool keepsakes they’ll actually want to take home. If you’re all about adding a whole lot of fun and uniqueness to your big day, then this is it! I mean, can you even remember what the last wedding favour you got was? And if you do, is it still around or did it disappear into the land of forgotten things? Exactly!

Have you seen Lucie working her magic? If you have, she's probably already booked for your big day! If not, you're in for a treat! Whether your wedding guests are 5 or 105, having Rubbish Portraits at your wedding is THE coolest and most inclusive wedding entertainment you can book. This isn’t just any old photo booth with grey curtains and awkward poses. Oh no, this is where the magic happens – think passport photo booth vibes but cranked up to eleven with a hefty dose of cool and fun.

Unique wedding entertainment for your guests.

Imagine this: a super quirky booth is popped up at your wedding, where each guest can hop in and get a personalised portrait drawn in just THREE minutes! Yep, you heard that right—three minutes (or under) to capture all the fabulousness, fun, and flair of your friends and family in a unique piece of art.

Not only will your guests leave with their own A4 individual portraits, but you newlyweds will also get an A3 portrait of you both together, ready to frame when you get home, These portraits are more than just pictures; they’re little pieces of art.

Sounds awesome, but still not sure? What even is it? Let’s break it down…

The Booth

The hidden gem that is Lucie’s live portrait booth is not just a cool AF addition to your wedding; it’s a total game-changer. It brings all the fun of a photo booth but with a seriously cool twist—no awkward poses, no cheesy props, and absolutely no need to flash those pearly whites because guess what? Lucie doesn’t draw teeth! From the moment you enter the stylish booth and realise there’s a real-life human inside waiting to draw you, to leaving the booth and receiving your drawing through the side—just like an old-school photo booth—you and your guests will not be able to stop looking at and chatting about each other’s “rubbish” - but actually awesome portraits. Just remember to give the ink a sec to dry—you don’t want to smudge your new masterpiece!

Meet the artist.

Rubbish Portraits might be the name, but the incredible illustrator is Lucie and what she can produce in three minutes or less really is outstanding. Not only is Lucie a pro at her craft, but she’s as cool as a cucumber to chat with—talking with her is like catching up with an old friend. 

Unlike a photo booth, you don’t have to be still, trying to contort your face into a last-minute smile—you can sit, sip your drink, have a chat—and in spite of Lucie not drawing teeth, you can still smile and have a laugh, she’s THAT good!

An immersive experience.

The Rubbish Portrait booth isn’t just about the adorable portraits—it’s a whole experience! When people step into the cozy little booth, something magical happens. Lucie put’s even the most unsure guest at ease straight away and it’s like they’re stepping into a mini confessional box, sharing their secrets and problems. While Lucie might not be qualified to dole out advice, this fabulously creative artist has a knack for turning just a few minutes into memories that last a lifetime. 

A modern wedding must-have!

Rubbish Portraits by Lucie Sheridan is more than just a service—it’s a modern wedding must-have. Think of it as an event within your event, adding that extra layer of cool to your big day. Your guests will be hooked, watching their quirky portraits come to life right before their eyes. And the best part? They get to take home a piece of your wedding that they’ll actually want to keep and frame!

The only downside? There's just one Rubbish Portraits - so if you want to lock in this cool package, you'd better book it fast before someone else snags your spot!

Trust us, you and your guests will be buzzing about this unique experience long after the party’s over.
