Booked for Birthday party

Dave was a wonderful addition to my birthday party, his drawings were fabulously funny and all my guests enjoyed having the drawings done to take away as a memento of the occasion. Dave is friendly and low key and worked diligently on back to back drawings throughout the evening, highly recommended!

Booked for Corporate Function

Michael was brilliant- he made everyone feel at ease and was really adaptable to our obscure requests on the event day - It was super easy to brief Michael, attendees looked comfortable in his presence. We were more than happy leaving him to do his thing throughout the hours of the day and appreciated him drawing people from afar for individuals that did not request a drawing ( but more more than happy to accept the gift ) The team and I would highly recommend and of course would love to have him back for future events!

Booked for Celebration

Rob did an absolutely stunning job -at short notice - to produce a full colour caricature in time for a very important first date on Valentine’s Day. The date went amazingly well - and who knows but I have a feeling that we will be inviting him to do drawings of all our guests at our wedding one day!! Thanks Rob - Kapow!! You smashed it!!

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."

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.
