Why Your Event Needs Live Caricatures!

As a crew of caricaturists, we know why live caricatures are some of the best event entertainment around. However, on your special day, whether its a wedding, a holiday party, a prom, etc., budgets can be limited, and there are a lot of options for services and keepsakes. DJs, emcees, decor, professional photobooths, customized merchandise...why prioritize live caricatures when more "traditional" options are also available? With our expertise, we have compiled a list of reasons you should consider hiring a caricaturist for your next event.

Live Event Caricatures are Completely Customized

Imagine: every single guest at your event could have a keepsake that is completely customized to them, yet one that also reminds them of your event! Live drawing allows us to find what's special about each one of your guests and put it on paper. Few other keepsakes are as customized as a caricature - after all, it's an illustration of each guest! Our level of detail often surprises our clients, and we love that caricatures also feel like a "surprise" for each guest.

Caricatures are Live Entertainment

Not only do guests have something to take home, the process is entertaining! Whether watching other guests get drawn, admiring the artists' speed, sharing their drawing with others, or simply experiencing getting their caricature drawn, having an artist on site gives your guests something to do. Even better, it's not limited to any one "group", which leads us to our next point...

Caricatures are for Everyone!

Kids, adults, couples, singles, babies, the elderly and teenagers can all get their caricature drawn. If you have an event that is multi-generational, like a wedding, family reunion, or quinceañera, a caricaturist is a great option because no one is left out. As long as they can sit in front of the artist, they can get drawn! Events that are primarily for children or events that are primarily for adults are both appropriate for caricatures, too. Live drawings can happen all times of day and are adaptable to be entertaining for anyone.

Caricatures are Unique (and Memorable)

At some gigs, we hear "Wow, I never thought of having caricatures at [insert event type here]". Caricatures might not seem like a traditional event option, but that's why they're so memorable. Often, after a gig, we'll even get contacted by guests for events of their own! Getting a caricature drawn is a forever memory, and the drawing itself is a forever keepsake. Plus, there's very few places people commonly get caricatures drawn, so it makes your event all the more special!

Caricatures are Space and Budget Friendly

Of course, like any event entertainers, a caricaturist does cost money. But, when considering the service doubles as entertainment and is a customized keepsake, it becomes quite comparatively cost-effective. Caricaturists in our crew also come to events with everything they need, so the cost is only for their hourly services (with few exceptions). Plus, caricaturists are flexible and can be in any space that fits a few chairs and an easel, and thus can fit into smaller event spaces - or even outdoors! With minimal set-up and easy-to-understand charges and services, live artists are good options for a host of events and budgets.
