I was looking for a unique party favors for the wedding and Caricature was it, 100% awesone! I had Bill & Jeremy at my wedding and they were such a hit with the guest!!!! Lines to get drawn throughout the night.

Got the addons of the custom paper & custom guest book caricatures, which is by far the BEST idea for guest book!!!!!!!!!

I would definitely recommend them over and over!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill was easy to work with and everything was done through email. Rob our artist was amazing. This was truly the hit of the whole event. I highly recommend you scrap the Photo Booth idea, it’s dead. This is where it’s at. I couldn’t say enough about this and my guests absolutely loved it and it made everything so much more fun.

"My husband and I wanted to do something more creative for our wedding than a traditional photo booth and boy are we happy we found Canalside Caricatures. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Bill was extremely responsive and helpful in deciding timing and number of artist (we had 300+ guests). They are extremely talented and all of our guests were SO happy and excited about their drawings. I would 100% recommend this company to add a creative touch to any special event."

"Mr. G, our visit to darien lake on sunday the 3rd was the first little vacation we’ve been able to take in the last 1 1/2 years, and though the rides were thrilling, and the food and drinks overpriced but good, your caricature of me and the mrs was by far the best thing we did all day. not only do we have a really good souvenir, as well as a good conversation piece, but we have something that we really consider to treasure as a symbol of our mild freedom from the mundane work week and such. i just have to say that you pretty put the cherry on the top of our vacation, and for whats its worth, I’d have paid double to get the kind of happiness that you brought to us. thank you very much.P.S, my wife cannot stop laughing at my portrait, so i hung it in the living room to make sure she would see it everyday."
