We hired Jennifer West for my Granddaughters 13th birthday party. She was a hit! The kids and adults alike enjoyed her fabulous drawings. She was professional and a pleasure to have at our event. I would hire her again.

Jennifer did an awesome job! She knew exactly what I was looking for, and went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. She was so flexible with small changes, and my students loved working with her. I cannot recommend her enough!

Jennifer was great to have at my niece’s first birthday. She was quick and friendly when it came to guest getting their picture done. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed their picture. Jennifer is one to hire for any next event.

Dear Monique,
Thank-you so much for including me to draw for your niece`s first birthday party.
I really enjoyed seeing the happy faces when your niece and her guests saw their caricatures!
I would look forward to drawing for you again.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
Unfortunately we did not have a the greatest experience with our Easter Bunny this year. A few things that i want to mention are as follows:
- Easter Bunny was late. I will say we did have rain on Easter so I completely understand having to drive with caution.
- Upon Arrival, it took a while for the Easter Bunny to get dressed.
- Scheduled booking time was from 10-2pm. Easter Bunny got out on the floor for pictures at 10:30am ( still left at 2pm)
- I was constantly asked what time it was, as if the Bunny was very eager to leave the entire time she was booked.
- The Bunny was only able to sit down and take pictures as it was too much of a hazard to have her walk around as she was not able to properly see.
Overall I wish we had a better experience. She was very nice but i felt as if we were an inconvenience to her.

Response from Caricatures by the Best, Jennifer West:
I appreciate Drew booking me, and the children and guests were SO precious! Here is my experience:
*Yes, thank-you, I always drive with caution.
*Though it was raining heavily, I was on time, arriving 1/2 hour early. It took a while after entering the building, trying to reach Drew. I searched for someone to show me where to get dressed and where I should be, asking many times for Drew or a manager, then after some time of searching, I was guided around through the building by a very kind employee, to show where I could change. I was on time once I was in my costume, though after changing it took about 10 more minutes find the spot where I should be, so I believe it was about 10 minutes late to take a seat.
Thank-you, again, Drew!
*I asked for Drew at the ending time of 2:00 PM, but the employee said my time was up and I could leave. I verified that with her, since I felt I should see Drew first, but she said again that it was 2:00 PM, my time was up and I could leave.
*When having a full bunny costume on, it is difficult to check the time, so I did ask Drew the time, probably about 3 times during those 4 hours, when there was a pause between guests walking through the room. I was not eager to leave, but I did need to understand the time. Drew told me that it had been very difficult for another costumed character that they had hired during December due to being in costume. An Easter Bunny costume is very difficult to breath in and keep hydrated in.
*I did not refuse to walk around. They mentioned once that they might have me walk through the dinning room, but they never came to get me.
Again, Thank-you Drew for having me there for your customers! Hope this clears things up for you!
Jennifer was fantastic! She arrived on time and her drawing skills were outstanding! Everyone liked their drawings. Thank you Jennifer

I booked Jennifer for an artisan market at a company event and she was incredible. She was professional and did a wonderful job with her drawings. The cold affected attendance, but she stuck it out until the end. If the weather had behaved differently, I can't imagine how many more would have had the joy of her work. I will cherish the drawing she did for me always!

Jennifer was great, we had a last minute booking and she showed up as Mrs Claus to draw our friends caricatures at our cocktail party. It was a fun addition to a festive event! Thanks Jennifer

Jennifer was wonderful and look forward to working with her again!

Cannot sing the praises enough nor express the talents adequately of Jennifer West. Wow, she captured the uniqueness of each guest from young to old and her willingness to make everyone happy was unparalleled. She even bravely took on the unexpected outdoor mosquito invasion. Don’t hesitate, run to book Jennifer. Above all, she is the sweetest lady❤️

Great caricaturist experience. The pictures turned out fantastic

Jennifer was so kind, she had to drive more than 75miles to accommodate our personal customized proposal idea. She arrived earlier than we requested to make sure everything was set up on time and made our day extra special. Highly recommend her!

Jennifer did an excellent job at our event!

We booked Jennifer for a Nautical themed party for seniors and she completely exceeded my expectations! She is not only talented but is also very professional. The seniors were raving about her ALL NIGHT LONG! I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a caricature artist!
Caricaturist
Jennifer was great but lots of comments that her drawings didn't capture the person she was drawing.
Caricaturist
Jennifer was very punctual and got set up in no time. She was very pleasant with all of my baby shower guests. She did a portrait every ten minutes and the guests were so amazed by the portraits. We had a waiting line going on for her! I will definitely keep her in mind for future events and recommend her to all my friends.

Jennfier was such a pleasure to work with during my company's holiday party. She arrived promptly and even stayed past her projected time to ensure everyone got their caricature done. Everyone left the party happy with their pictures. I highly reccomend her for any event.

I wanted to add something different to my Sunday brunch wedding at Orange hill restaurant and this was perfect. Jennifer was great with all the guests and had a line and an audience watching as she worked her magic. Friends and family are planning to even frame some of her work on their walls, thats how good she was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone as she was on time and very professional.
Caricaturist
She was lovely to have at our party. Everyone walked away with a cartoon pic of themselves!
Caricaturist
Jennifer was amazing! All of our guests loved the cariactures! We ended up extending her time because she continually had a line! She was very friendly to work with, and always had a pleasant disposition. The art work was great! We can't wait to frame ours! It truly was the cherry on top of a perfect day!
Caricaturist
Jennifer is a true professional. Everyone was delighted with her art. She was so much fun. The kids loved her. She was quick with her drawings, yet they looked like she spent lots of time on them. Our party guests asked when we could have another party so that she can draw them again!
