Caricaturing the guests at Drinks Reception in The Newpark Hotel, Kilkenny

Wedding of Niamh & James. This was a hot day and they had an ice-cream stand, which was a nice idea. I did about 2 hours during the drinks reception which is the usual, from 3pm until the dinner gong goes, and after that I just finish off the last few stragglers. So hopefully every guest who wanted a drawing got one.

Live Wedding Reception Caricatures

Live Wedding Entertainment

At the drinks reception of Ger and Niall, in The Abbey Hotel, co Kildare. Live caricatures are a great way to keep the laughter flowing, and fill the time between the ceremony and the dinner. And everyone gets something to take home as a keepsake and reminder of the day

Wedding Entertainment

Beautiful sunny day at the Westgrove Hotel in Clane, for the wedding of Tracey & Paddy. I was there for the drinks reception. As the weather was so nice I set up outside on the terrace.

Unfortunately in a lot of the photos I took, the bright sun washed out the drawing. I hadn’t thought of that. Oh well, live and learn.

I still got a few nice photos. And everyone who wanted a caricature got one I think, which was the important thing.

I received an email enquiry the next week that started with “You were recommended to me by the Westgrove Hotel”, which was nice of them.

Live Caricature Drawing (Corporate Entertainment)

I spent a day drawing the staff in DHL Swords, as part of their Staff Appreciation Week.

I realize now that I need a better camera, or maybe a lesson in how to take photos on my phone?

This trio were a good laugh

I think this was the big boss man?

When he saw it he said “My missus will love this”

How much does it cost to hire a caricature artist?

The cost of hiring a caricature artist for your wedding?

At the time of writing (2023) artists in Ireland are mostly charging between €100 and €300 per hour.

Why the variation?

- More experienced artists are more in demand.

- The time of the year can make a difference. Wedding season and Christmas party season are much busier for any entertainer.

- How late in the evening will you need them to stay?

- How far will they have to travel to your event?

When you ask for a quote, all of the above will be factored in.

Something to think about as well as price would be the style of drawing each artist does. Check on their website that the style is something you like.
