I had David attend my 60th birthday party in July 2026. All of my guests absolutely loved the way he engaged with them and the final caricature(s) that was presented to them. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him as a great form of original entertainment for parties and functions. Lots of my guests were able to take home something to remember such a special night. ***** Thank you again GC, top class artist :)

David made our Wedding Reception very special and VERY entertaining! Our guests loved their caricatures and so did we! Lots of fun & laughter. He is easy to communicate with, friendly, professional, self sufficient and gets straight to it, making everyone feel at ease. Everyone got to keep their picture and we will treasure ours with wonderful memories. Well worth the money. Thankyou

David is the most wonderfully talented Caricaturist. He added so much to the uniqueness of our special wedding day. He was wonderful with our guests and created both a genuine rapport whilst drawing the most incredible likness of each individual. Each of our guests was delighted with their caricature to take home with them. We recommend purchasing cardboard tubes for each guest to keep their drawing pristine.

I met David at my friend’s wedding party and was so impressed with his caricatures I immediately knew I wanted him for our wedding entertainment. David is friendly, chatty and so talented - from the moment he arrived our guests were queuing up for a caricature and it brought so much laughter and entertainment. I’d highly recommend David to anyone who is looking for something fun and quirky for their wedding. Thank you!
