“Hayley is amazing!! So easy to work with, super talented and such great energy. She made my brands popup so fun and interactive, the guests LOVEDDD being able to go home with her illustrations. I highly recommend added Lionee Custom Designs (Hayley) to your next event!”
Allyse Cirillo, Founder of Saint Jō
“A friend recommended that I consider Hayley for our wedding weekend, and I’m so glad I did. Not only is she a lovely, warm, and accommodating person, but her talent for capturing the energy and joy of our welcome party - while seamlessly incorporating the Palm Beach aesthetic - added such a thoughtful and personal touch to the weekend. Her live portraits created a unique experience for our guests and resulted in beautiful keepsakes that I loved including with our thank you notes afterward. Hayley was incredibly professional and easy to work with from start to finish. If you have the opportunity to incorporate Lionée Designs’ live portrait services into your event, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”
Lauren Edwards, 2026 Bride

I am always happy to work with larger parties (200+ guests). Kindly note that at maximum, 40-45 portraits can be created within 4-5 hours.
It is my priority during your event to engage with your guests while illustrating in a timely manner.
In any event where I have not been able to complete the total amount of portraits, from my experience guests are always pleased to hear that they will be receiving it in the near future as a moment to look forward to…and back on.
