Hiring Ben to do caricatures for our wedding was a fantastic decision. He was brilliant and all of our guests really enjoyed him! As we were busy hosting, Ben took a photo of us so that he could do a caricature of us whilst we were busy Very thoughtful and pleasant guy!

"Chris was really good and drew everyone at the ceremony, he had his wife with him to assist who was also very helpful. I recommend Chris to anyone wanting to include some extra fun into their special occasion. best regards"

Gillian Iwanoff30 Mar 2018

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."

Booked for Other Event

"Alex was very personable and unobtrusive during the meeting. His caricatures were well received by both our staff and clients. They have proved to be talking points in other meetings too. Would thoroughly recommend him."

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.
