Shane Kinghorn29 Aug 2025

Booked for Wedding

Yanthia was punctual, friendly, self-sufficient, responsive and very swift, getting through dozens of wedding guests. Having the artist there as part of the wedding party proved to be a talking-point and meeting point: several guests said that sitting and waiting together meant they had a space away from the marquee, dance-floor and bar to have conversations with family, friends and guests they hadn't met yet. The process of anticipating the outcome is exciting, and a lovely way of sharing the fun. Everyone was delighted with their caricature, which now has become a memento of the occasion. If you're in two minds, I would say, don't hesitate, especially as, when you consider the cost of a wedding, the fee is a drop in the ocean, and very good value.

Booked for Wedding

Dave was absolutely brilliant at our wedding in June, we are so pleased we used Drop Dead Caracatures. We wanted something different and which was fun and our guests had something to take home. Dave was busy for the whole 3 hours he was there and I think he was there actually longer than the 3 hours. He is a superb artist, we can't believe the likeness! We highly recommend if you want something different and fun Dave is worth every penny, and he is very reasonable compared to others that we looked at. 5 stars all the way! Thank you so much Dave.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
