Booked for Birthday party

Lovely man, very patient with my guests ( a few had additional needs) I do think he stayed longer as he was very busy. Thank you for coming to my husband’s 60th party

Booked for Birthday party

I had booked Dave at the last minute for our daughter's first birthday celebration and it was the highlight of our event. Booking with Dave was straightforward; he patiently answered all my questions and sought my requirements before the event. He arrived at the venue well before the time and started drawing caricatures for our guests straightaway. He was very patient with kids and parents. The caricatures were outstanding and everybody loved having to take home something memorable. I recommend hosts purchase A3 hardback envelopes, like we did, to allow the guests to carry their caricatures home without damage. Dave stayed a bit later than the contracted time to complete for a couple of guests and we really appreciate the fact that he drove from Colchester to Rotherham for this three-hour booking. Thank you very much Dave, we look forward to having you again.
