Very Recent Review: Absolutely amazing....Sam was a great hit with our guests! Everyone loved their images and have raved about how great he was. He fitted in seamlessly and was so attentive and easy to talk to which made it very comfortable for everyone. Thank you so much to Sam for giving everyone a great memory and keepsake from our special day. I'd recommend him to anyone and really hope he continues to do well. We'll certainly be in touch again if we host another event.

Amazing talent and lots of laughter when Sam joined our corporate daytime function of Employee Appreciation Day. Lots and lots of incredible sketches! BIG THANK YOU from all at Supreme Freight Services Ltd!
Sam was a great addition to a corporate day of sitting and working on strategy. He spent 15 minutes showing us some tips on how to draw a caricature - we then tried it - and he then showed us how it should be done by drawing 12 of us individually. Thank you Sam - we really enjoyed it!
Sam was fab! A really nice guy, friendly, fun and a great artist! We booked him for three hours for our wedding reception but should have had booked him for four as he was a huge success!
We will have Sam again should the situation arise!!

Jubilee Street party was excellent thanks to Sam Allen our Caracaturist. He came dressed the part in a bright blazer, lots of banter, made our guests feel at ease & so talented. Did sketches so quickly and humorously. Got round all our family groups. He was an absolute delight and made our event a huge success. Everyone sang his praises. We would DEFINITELY use him again.

Sam certainly is quick on the draw and the likenesses he caught were uncanny. He put my guests at ease with his easy charm and I would certainly recommend him to others.

We are so glad we booked Sam for our wedding reception! His energy is infectious and all the guests loved their pictures which made very cool souvenirs for them to take home. Would highly recommend as a unique feature for any event, thanks so much or coming Sam!
Sam Allen was fantastic! All guests who had there drawing done was all praised and said it was a nice touch to add to the wedding, something a little different.
I highly recommend Sam for any occasion 5 stars for everything. 🌟
Our wedding was due to take place in May. Due to Covid we had to rearrange to 1st September.
We had booked Sam as entertainment for our guests and sadly due to restrictions our wedding became very different to our original am plan. Therefore our booking with Sam was cancelled.
However Sam was brilliant from the moment we booked him, his communication was excellent and we kept him updated throughout lockdown. Sam was so flexible and was happy to accommodate any change of plans.
As our wedding consisted of 10 guests, Sam kindly agreed to provide a drawing of my husband and I so that our guests could sign this!
The picture was amazing and Sam completed this using some photos of us and a picture of the dress and suit.
I am so grateful to Sam and absolutely love the drawing he provided.
I could not recommend Sam more highly!
Thanks so much Sam
Very professional and friendly chap, was so happy having Sam at our reception, made everyone's day and gave the guests something very unique to take home - fab, thanks Sam.
Sorry can’t comment on Sam as I broke my pelvis and it was cancelled but Sam was lovely and caring and I am still in contact with him as my party is going ahead next year
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for making my Mum's 80th birthday even more special. Everyone enjoyed their caricatures which caused much enjoyment and laughter.

A really great guy; friendly, chatty and put everyone at ease whilst they awkwardly sat being sketched! He really captured the guests’ features through his caricatures. I would fully recommend Sam :-)
Sam is such a gentleman, really engaged with all our guests and constantly had a queue at his table! Such a welcoming guy that made everyone feel relaxed. I've been inundated with compliments for booking Sam as the entertainment at our event, he was much loved by everyone who attended. Would highly recommend for a variety of functions and will be booking Sam again in the future.
I can’t recommend Sam highly enough. It was a pleasure to have him at my daughters 21st birthday. Polite and chatty, mingles and a great artist too!
Sam was fantastic and totally engaged with all our guests. Just wish he could have stayed longer! Thank you Sam
very friendly nice guy- would recommend he managed to draw most of my guests and they were all delighted.
During a pandemic and unaware of what our final numbers would actual be for our wedding, Sam was beyond accommodating and helpful. He produced 150 (plus a few more) individual caricatures for our guest place names and MY WORD our guests LOVED them!!!
We also used these to create our amazing table plan. These were definitely a huge talking point at the wedding and added a lovely personal touch to our wedding I could not recommend Sam enough, a top bloke, very friendly too. Thanks so much Sam!
As a caricaturist, I'm there for the time that I'm booked. So a minimum of two hours and up to 6 hours if need be.
If you book me for a wedding, I'll create each caricature on exclusively headed paper as a souvenir of the event.
I'm a caricaturist . However, I also teach cartoon classes where I encourage everyone to join in with me with tips, tricks and techniques on how to cartoon just about anything. I also create cartoons as part of live business events. This involves recording the topics discussed in cartoon form.
If I'm caricaturing, I'll provide all of the art materials I'll need to fulfil a booking.
I don't need time to prepare for an event where I'm caricaturing. If I run a cartoon class, I just need to know beforehand how many guests will be in attendance and chairs on the day.
30 days.
28 days before an event. If a booking is made less than 28 days before, full payment will be due.
Every drawing is signed by myself and presented to the guest in question. I'll arrive at the event with enough pens and paper to sketch as many people as possible in the chosen time. Depending on the venue, I'm happy to sit in one spot or mingle with those present. To secure your date, all you need to do is pay the initial deposit. My bank details will be sent to you with an invoice once all the details of the event have been agreed upon. I also ask for payment in advance of the booking so that I can focus on entertaining your guests upon arrival. Thank you!
