Caricaturists for Hire

Hire Caricaturists in the UK

A caricaturist is a great way to get guests talking, sketching quick, exaggerated portraits that people can take home as a keepsake. They work especially well at weddings and parties where guests may not know each other, giving everyone something to gather around and enjoy. Browse the portfolios and reviews to find a style you like.

When a caricaturist works best

Timing matters. Caricaturists are at their best during a relaxed part of the day, such as a drinks reception or while photographs are being taken, rather than over dinner or a buffet when guests are seated and eating. As a rough guide, allow enough time for a good number of guests to be drawn, since once a few people have theirs, others tend to want one too.

What to expect

Caricature is a light-hearted, cartoon-style drawing that exaggerates features in good fun, produced in black and white or colour. It is never meant to be unkind, and most guests love having theirs done as a memento of the day. Check with your venue whether entertainment needs public liability insurance, and ask the artist to confirm they hold it.
