Booked for Wedding

Richard was a fantastic addition to our wedding, engaging with our guests and providing them with a unique souvenir. When he arrived we were in the middle of a photographer session, but he completely understood, introduced himself and starting mingling immediately. He took the time to find us at an opportune moment to ensure our entire top table and most important guests (bridal party & family) we're included. Highly recommend including this fun and different element to any special occasion. Thank you Richard Love Mr & Mrs Price

Booked for Wedding

Wow! What can I say?! Gremlyn was an absolute legend at our wedding evening reception and has become a real talking point. All of our guests who had caricatures drawn absolutely loved them and I couldn’t believe how many Gremlyn drew! Great quality, great value and a great guy who really entertained everyone (to the point that the band were a bit upset they weren’t as popular as Gremlyn!!) I would highly recommend having Gremlyn at any event-thank you so much!
