Sheri Giose22 May 2026

Booked for Wedding

Dan's personality added to his great caracaturist service! We hired him for our wedding and everyone loved him and his drawings! He managed to get many people done within the 2 hour frame we booked him for (and was kind enough to remind the bride and groom to get one done!) and he was fast to respond to communications before the event. If anyone is looking for an authentic caracaturist - Dan is your man!

Booked for Wedding

Dave came to the wedding on time, professional and polite. I only hired him for 2 hours expecting it to be a bit of gimic not every guest would be interested in. How wrong was I? Every guest want there turn however we ran out of time. Dave very kindly offered to stay until he had finished the list however we also ran out of time in the day. Dave stayed whilst we had the meal and then continued to work which I did not expect. He went above and beyond and is fantastic at his skill! I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Booked for Birthday party

Our caricaturist Pete was absolutely amazing! My guests were ever so delighted with his skilful work as he not only produced brilliant caricatures/portraits, he also took a few years off of their appearance, which was much appreciated by the slightly older generation ;) I can't thank him enough for providing something extra at my party, something that the guests could then take home too, which of course they were thrilled about. If you are thinking of hiring a caricaturist, I thoroughly recommend Pete Woodbridge!

Sue Ibbison15 Dec 2023

Booked for Christmas party

Francesco turned up on time and immediately set to work drawing groups of people at our party. These drawings are amazing. He can draw 12 people in an hour so after a three hour stint everyone had been drawn. We would definitely use him again. Thank you Francesco.

Booked for Wedding

We had Mike at our wedding for 6 hours and this guy never stopped! He was so so popular, a massive hit with our guests. There was a constant queue of people wanting to get their caricature done. We are so glad we hired him, he’s a lovely guy, very friendly and professional. Mike was smartly dressed, punctual and communication was brilliant. Lots of our guests have asked where we found him and loved the idea of Mike at their wedding in the future. Honestly get this man booked he’s amazing. With kinds regards from Mr & Mrs Goldsmith (Vanessa & Neil)

Farrah26 Jul 2019

Booked for Birthday party

Maria was extremely professional and even came a bit early to set up. She managed to not only create a great live group piece for my husband’s birthday, she kept our guests intrigued and entertained the entire time. We would definitely recommend her.

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.
