Cool-Caricatures, do exactly what they say...Caricatures, and they are cool.
Femi was there in good time, started working without prompting. Caricatures were clean and excellent likenesses.
Managed to get 25 odd done on the time. Good.

Dan was brilliant, his communication before the event was really good which is what every bride and groom need in the build up to their big day.
He was relaxed in communication and flexible with timings and most of all, at the event he was popular with our guests, he was engaging which created a comfortable atmosphere, and our guests loved their pictures.
Pictures were all really great and humorous which is exactly what we wanted and our friends and family are still talking about him.
It was a really great idea, thanks Dan.

Hiring a Caricaturist in Cardiff: A Buyer’s Guide for Memorable Events
Cardiff knows how to put on a good do. From historic backdrops to breezy waterfront spaces, the city has a knack for hosting events that feel special without trying too hard. If you’re looking for entertainment that’s interactive, light-hearted and genuinely memorable, hiring a caricaturist in Cardiff is a cracking choice.
We’ve worked with caricaturists across South Wales for years, and we’ve seen first-hand how a few pens, paper and a lot of personality can transform an event. This guide is here to help you understand what to expect, how to choose the right style, and how to book with confidence. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a community celebration or a corporate event, you’re in the right place.
Why Caricaturists Work So Well at Cardiff Events
Caricaturists sit in that sweet spot between entertainment and keepsake. Guests aren’t just watching something happen; they’re part of it. They chat, they laugh, they get drawn, and they leave with something to take home.
In Cardiff especially, this style of entertainment fits beautifully with the city’s relaxed, welcoming vibe. A caricaturist doesn’t demand a stage or a big build. They mingle easily, adapt to the room and get everyone involved without any awkward spotlight moments.
They’re also wonderfully flexible. A caricaturist can work quietly in the corner during drinks, or become a real talking point at a busy reception. That adaptability is gold when you’re juggling timings, guests and venues.
Events That Are Perfect for a Caricaturist
Caricaturists are versatile performers, but some events really let them shine.
Weddings: They act as a brilliant ice-breaker while photos are being taken or during the drinks reception, keeping the atmosphere buzzing.
Community events: These artists draw crowds, encourage conversation, and appeal to all ages in open spaces or cultural centres.
Corporate events: A caricaturist adds personality to conferences and team socials, softening the formal edge and encouraging networking.
Choosing Between Traditional and Cartoon Styles
One of the first decisions you’ll make is style. In Cardiff, the most popular options are traditional caricature and cartoon-style drawings.
Traditional caricature focuses on exaggerated features with a classic, hand-drawn feel. It’s timeless, flattering and tends to suit weddings and more formal occasions. Guests often love how recognisable they are, even with a playful twist.
Cartoon styles lean into colour, character and humour. These are bold, fun and particularly popular at community events or relaxed corporate parties. They can be more animated and sometimes include themed elements or props drawn into the picture.

Expect your guests to be entertained, throughout this whole service. They will remember all the funky hairdos, misshapen ears, and ‘unique’ features in all their sketched-out glory. Each of my caricatures is completed using an original cartoon or charcoal technique, sealed and packaged to make a quality keepsake. But the part my clients enjoy most? Seeing their loved ones in absolute stitches as a caricature begins to take shape. Event entertainment doesn’t get much better than that.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Cardiff’s venue variety is one of its strengths, and caricaturists adapt well to almost all of them.
Castle hotels: These offer dramatic settings where a caricaturist provides a brilliant contrast, adding warmth and approachability to a formal space.
Waterfront venues: These bring light and a relaxed feel, where artists engage guests as they come and go during drinks receptions.
Cultural centres: These host diverse audiences where caricaturists thrive because they are inclusive and can adjust their pace based on footfall.
What to Expect on the Day
A professional caricaturist arrives prepared, punctual and ready to entertain. They’ll usually bring their own materials, set up quickly and start engaging guests straight away.
Each drawing typically takes a few minutes, which keeps things moving and ensures plenty of guests get involved. While one person is being drawn, others gather around, laugh and comment, which creates a lovely shared experience. Good caricaturists read the room well. They know when to chat, when to focus, and how to keep things flowing without anyone feeling rushed or overlooked.
Pricing and What Influences Cost
In Cardiff, hiring a caricaturist generally falls between £300 and £600. The exact price depends on a few key factors:
Duration: Longer bookings allow more guests to be drawn at a relaxed pace but come at a higher cost.
Experience: Established artists with a strong portfolio and polished performance sit at the higher end of the range.
Timing: Peak wedding season and weekend evenings are in higher demand, which can influence final quotes.
Enjoy a Truly Friendly Attitude
When you book through us, you’re not just booking a service. You’re booking an experience shaped by people who genuinely enjoy what they do.
Our caricaturists are chosen not only for their artistic skill, but for their friendly, engaging approach. They put guests at ease, spark conversation and create moments of genuine joy. That warmth makes a huge difference to how your event feels, and it’s often what guests remember most.
Plan Your Party in Minutes, Not Days
We know time is precious. Event planning can quickly spiral into endless emails and waiting for quotes. That’s why we offer instant, all-inclusive pricing. You can see availability, compare options and make decisions straight away. No chasing, no guesswork, and no wasted evenings glued to your inbox.
Our suppliers and support team respond quickly too, so your planning stays smooth and stress-free from start to finish.
Get an Event That Is Uniquely Yours
No two events are the same, and your caricaturist should reflect that. Our suppliers are brilliant at adapting their approach to suit you. Whether that’s adjusting their drawing style, pacing their performance to fit your schedule, or tailoring their interaction to your guests, flexibility is part of the package.
Relax and Plan Without the Anxiety
Uncertainty is one of the biggest sources of event stress. Wondering if suppliers will turn up, if timings will work, or if everything will come together can take the shine off the experience.
We keep communication clear and consistent, so you always know what’s happening and when. That transparency means fewer worries and more excitement as your event approaches. You can focus on enjoying the build-up, knowing the details are in hand.

Enter your event date, guest numbers and postcode, and you’ll see a curated selection of caricaturists ready for your event in Cardiff. It’s straightforward, quick and refreshingly easy to use, even if this is your first time organising entertainment.
Discover Everything in One Convenient Place
Planning often means hopping between websites, comparing notes and trying to keep track of conversations. We bring everything together in one place. Whether you’re booking just a caricaturist or organising multiple elements of your event, it’s all there, clearly laid out and easy to manage.
Host a Party That Will Be Remembered
If you want your event to stand out, interactive entertainment is key. Caricaturists offer something different. They create laughter, conversation and personalised keepsakes that guests take home and talk about later. It’s entertainment that lives on beyond the event itself. That’s how ordinary gatherings become memorable celebrations.
Book With Confidence and Complete Security
Peace of mind matters. We carefully vet all our suppliers to ensure reliability, professionalism and quality. If an issue ever arises, we’re on hand to help find a suitable alternative. Combined with our money-back guarantee, you can book knowing your investment is protected.
