Booked for Birthday party

Michael, was a wonderful addition to our birthday party. It became a real talking point, with quite a demand building up for "portraits". Michael, was on-time, quietly worked in the background, flexible, and produced portraits that delighted and created memories. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michael and hope there will be another occasion when we are in need of his particular talent.

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.

Booked for Wedding

Dan was brilliant, his communication before the event was really good which is what every bride and groom need in the build up to their big day. He was relaxed in communication and flexible with timings and most of all, at the event he was popular with our guests, he was engaging which created a comfortable atmosphere, and our guests loved their pictures. Pictures were all really great and humorous which is exactly what we wanted and our friends and family are still talking about him. It was a really great idea, thanks Dan.
