“We hired Art Vila for our wedding, and they were an absolute hit! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about their amazing talent and how fun the experience was. The caricatures were spot-on, creative, and made for a unique and memorable keepsake for everyone. He and his associate were incredibly professional, easy to work with, and brought such a joyful energy to our special day. If you’re looking to add something extra special and entertaining to your event, I highly recommend Art Vila! Five stars all the way!

I just wanted to share recently we had a party for my husbands 40th bday. Matts roaring 40s I called it. I found Art Villa through an amazing facebook group for brides! He was so amazing from start to finish. He responds super quick. Is very informative of everything he will be doing. He's upfront about everything. He answered all my questions and trust me when I say I ask every question under the sun lol. He was always so super sweet when he replied back. I loved the experience from start to finish bc of how kind he was. Then day of the party I met him and he is just how he was on the emails nice and kind. And wow. His work is amazing. Everyone said he was able to capture ur personality and made it somehow lifelike yet still cartoon which I know is not easy to do. Art is definitely an artist he had everyone in awe of how fantastic his work came out. Just absolutely amazing. He is so talented and I am so happy and proud that I got a chance to book him and his talents to make my man's 40th birthday party a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience. Do not hesitate to book Art. Do it right away :)

Art was the caricaturist at my sons first birthday party and he was a huge hit! I received so many positive comments about Art. Not only about how it was a great idea to have a caricaturist at the party, but how amazing his work is! Art is easy to communicate with, professional, talented and kind. I would recommend him for any event and hope to use him again in the future.

If you are debating about whether or not to hire Art for your event, let me make the decision easy... BOOK HIM! It will be the best decision you make. Art was the caricaturist at my son's birthday and it was everyone's favorite part of the party. Art is simply amazing! All of our guests loved their caricatures and as a bonus, the pictures make great favors. Everyone was so impressed with Art's work that many have asked me for his info in order to hire him for their own parties! I highly recommend Art and would love to work with him again.
It was a wonderful experience working with Art from the beginning to the very end. He was kind, organized and extremely professional. My guests loved their pieces of art so much. It was a fantastic favor, something that will last forever instead of a momento that would wind up in the garbage. I know I will hang my family portrait in my home for many years to come. Not only is Art an amazing artist, my guests raved about how nice of a man he was as he drew their picture. I will absolutely be recommending Art to family and friends for future events, as well as hiring him myself again in the future! Couldn’t say more about how great and easy Art made this experience!

My sister found Artvilla and asked me coordinate with him for her wedding reception. He was very professional and easy to work with, and very responsive through out the process. He and his artists were amazing and all the guest enjoyed having their caricatures done; It was a unique touch to the wedding.

Art was very professional and arrived early to set up for my son's Christening party. When the guests arrived, he made an announcement to let them know that he was going to be doing caricatures for the guests. The guests absolutely loved Art and the drawings that they received. He was a great addition to our party, and provided entertainment by doing caricatures throughout the party. He even stayed later than anticipated so that all of the guests could get a drawing. He was a pleasure to work from and made everything easy from start to finish so that we could relax and enjoy ourselves at the party. Highly recommended for kids and adults for any type of party.

Thank you so much Mara, it was a real pleasure working at your daughter's wedding! Your family and friends were very kind, it didn't feel I was working!
We booked Art for the party following my daughter's baptism. He was highly recommended to me by a friend and after working with him I, in turn, highly recommend him. Firstly, he was very patient, responsive and professional throughout the booking process. Secondly, he was a pleasure to have at the party! He was a unique, talented and fun attraction at the event. Parents and children were lining up to have their portraits drawn. Art was even able to include my friend's baby in the portrait by looking at his picture! We framed our portrait and now have a lovely keepsake from our daughter's special day. I know a lot of our guests feel the same.
