Booked for Private party

We booked Yanthia for our work family fun day. She was so lovely and friendly and confirmed everything was ready the day before the event. Everyone was thrilled with their caricatures. They were so good as was her balloon modelling. Would definitely use her for our next event.

Booked for Christmas party

We hired Alan to attend our Christmas party. He was an absolute hit with our team. There were lots of laughs and happy faces. Thank you again Alan!

Booked for Birthday party

Francesco came to my 50th birthday party where his charming and endearing caricatures were very well received by all the guests. He was unobtrusive, intuitive and kind. Clearly very talented, he is a superb addition to any event you may have planned, and the gift of individual caricatures had gone down very well. I shall be recommending him, will be using him again and would strongly urge, if this is something you’d like to consider, to book him.

Paul Hubbold20 Jun 2022

Booked for Corporate Function

Rob was fantastic - he spent the whole day with us for our summer party. He not only created loads of fantastic pictures which were great mementos of the day, but everyone also really enjoyed the experience. Rob's communication before the event was great and he created personalised canvasses for us. Although he was there for 7 hours, when there were still a few people wanting caricatures at the end of the evening, he carried on going. I would definitely use Rob again in the future.

Katie Topp27 Jun 2019

Booked for Corporate Function

Chris was great and very professional, there was people queuing up to have their pictures draw all evening. I would definitely recommend him.

Teresa Pugh23 Jun 2019

Booked for Wedding

Dave was absolutely brilliant at our wedding in June, we are so pleased we used Drop Dead Caracatures. We wanted something different and which was fun and our guests had something to take home. Dave was busy for the whole 3 hours he was there and I think he was there actually longer than the 3 hours. He is a superb artist, we can't believe the likeness! We highly recommend if you want something different and fun Dave is worth every penny, and he is very reasonable compared to others that we looked at. 5 stars all the way! Thank you so much Dave.

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.
