WOW.. Steve was absolutely fantastic and such a professional !! We book Steve to do his silhouettes at our champagne reception and then throughout our meal. He was so friendly and kind and interacted with everyone, what Steve does is unique and a conversation starter for everyone. Everyone has mentioned how amazing what he does is. Additionally our guest got to go home with a memento of the night. Steve was so accommodating and couldn't have done more for us, He is a fantastic man and we really couldn't recommend him enough... BOOK BOOK BOOK !! You wont regret it and the value for money is 10/10.

Chris was absolutely amazing and worked magic! Communication with Chris was pleasant and well organised from the very beginning, he was punctual and never stopped drawing, allowing all interested guests to have a caricature done - there were so many happy guests! I would recommend Chris to all looking for a professional and very talented Caricaturist. He was one of the highlights at my wedding!

Booked for Wedding

I booked Femi as a surprise for my guests at my wedding reception on 27th April 2019. I was a bit unsure if people would want to have a caricature done but i needn't have worried Femi was amazing he interacted with all my guests who ranged in age from 18 months to 81 years, put them at ease and didn't put his pencil down from start to finish. He even very kindly agreed to stay longer as he had such a queue!!! His caricatures make a special keepsake and reminder of our wedding and the guests are still talking about it. I would highly recommend Femi for any event. Thanks again Tami
