Booked for Wedding

We recently had the pleasure of hiring Dan for our wedding at Minley Manor on Saturday, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! He was an absolute hit, adding a unique and unforgettable touch to our special day. From the moment he started drawing, guests were in fits of laughter, completely enthralled by his incredible talent and witty sense of humor. He managed to draw soooo many people but have attached 2 pictures here!! Not only were his caricatures spot-on and hilariously exaggerated in the best way possible, but his engaging personality also made him an instant hit. If you're looking for something extra special to make your event stand out, we highly recommend Dan. He truly was an unreal addition to our wedding, and we’re so grateful for the laughter and memories he created. Thank you, Dan!

Booked for Birthday party

Initially arrived at my home address instead of at the party venue but called me and he then came straight over to the venue. Very jolly and friendly guy, had a good rapport with people.

Booked for Birthday party

Dan recently attended a 50th Birthday party and he was a huge hit! He was an absolute delight in the run up to the doo, very responsive and no question was too much trouble to deal with. He worked solidly all through the evening and was extremely patient with some distracted guests. Everyone thought it was a great memory to take away from the evening and were very pleased with their pictures! We would definitely consider booking Dan again!

Booked for Wedding

Couldn't have been better. Communication in lead up was excellent. She was timely on the day and so lovely with all our guests, adults and children. The quality of the caricatures and face painting we had done was brilliant. Highly recommended.

Booked for Birthday party

"Steven was on time and an extremely polite and pleasant man. The sketches were very good, but our guests did comment that Steven didn't interact with them, and when the booked time slot was up, he seemed to not be able to get out of the house quick enough. We had many more guests who were disappointed that they didn't get sketched, and I myself also missed out being sketched with my husband so we would have willingly paid for an extra hour, but as noted above, Steven seemed very keen to leave. However, it was a great evening and we are glad that we booked Steven, he is very good at his craft. The whole booking process was efficient and I would definitely use you again."
