2 years ago my now husband and I were dating. Bruce suggested that we should get married one day and therefore drew an engagement ring on our caricature. 2 days ago my husband and I got married. Our event would not have been the same without Bruce. All my guests had fun.
I hired Bruce like maybe the week of my wedding and I’m so glad I did! He was a hit with the guests and lines kept forming to get a drawing! He did an absolutely amazing job. And stayed a while to make sure guests got their drawing done! Thank you so much for being a hit!

We booked Bruce last minute for my daughter’s first birthday. He arrived early and got right to work. He made sure to snap a quick picture of me, my husband, and our daughter at the very beginning. I think he knew we’d be busy hosting and wouldn’t have time to sit down for a drawing. He is quick and the drawings looked great. Great addition to the party that everyone loved. Communication was clear throughout the whole process. At the end, he made sure to jot down our address so he could mail us our picture. Highly recommend!
Response from Caricatures by Bruce:
Thankyou Cheryl and your husband. It was my pleasure.
What a great family!
