Dave really made my mum’s 70th birthday memorable. The service was great and the drawings of everyone were brilliant. We also wanted a combined digital copy of all the individual drawings and Dave prepared this within just a couple of days of the event. Thanks very much!

I had booked Dave at the last minute for our daughter's first birthday celebration and it was the highlight of our event. Booking with Dave was straightforward; he patiently answered all my questions and sought my requirements before the event. He arrived at the venue well before the time and started drawing caricatures for our guests straightaway. He was very patient with kids and parents. The caricatures were outstanding and everybody loved having to take home something memorable. I recommend hosts purchase A3 hardback envelopes, like we did, to allow the guests to carry their caricatures home without damage. Dave stayed a bit later than the contracted time to complete for a couple of guests and we really appreciate the fact that he drove from Colchester to Rotherham for this three-hour booking. Thank you very much Dave, we look forward to having you again.

Sorry this post has taken a few weeks to write. It’s been a very busy month after our wedding and honeymoon.
We would like to say a massive thank you to Dave for joining us on our big day. The perfect autumn day which was brilliant for Dave! I sadly only managed to say hello as time just ran away with us on the day but our guests could not praise him enough! And he stayed a little longer than agreed which we can not thank him enough for.
He stayed to try and capture the bride and groom and unfortunately we ran out of time. He has offered to do a drawing of us if I send a picture so I’m hoping to contact him and arrange this so that will be great to add to our album. What a fabulous idea and something different for your big day! We couldn’t recommend Dave enough! Thank you again for being part of our big day Sam & Tom x

Dave was a wonderful addition to my birthday party, his drawings were fabulously funny and all my guests enjoyed having the drawings done to take away as a memento of the occasion. Dave is friendly and low key and worked diligently on back to back drawings throughout the evening, highly recommended!
