We hired Dave for our corporate holiday party, and he was absolutely phenomenal! His artistic skills were exceptional, capturing everyone’s unique features with incredible detail and humor. Beyond his talent, he was personable and engaging! Guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun it was to watch him work and receive their caricatures. He truly became the star of the party, adding an unforgettable touch to the celebration. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with creativity, entertainment, and genuine charm!
Dave was on time to the venue and completed numerous pieces of artwork for our guests - ALL of which were extremely excited to take home his work. I would 100% book him again if I had an event in the area again. Great communication, friendly mannerisms along with professionalism. Thank you so much for being part of our memorable evening!

Nadine ! Thank you for such kind words . Your wedding reception was so beautiful and I really enjoyed being part of the celebration. I had so much fun with your lovely family and guests ❤️
Our community event was greatly enhanced by the addition of a caricature artist. Our artist arrived on time, was very personable, and talented. There was always a line of guests waiting to be drawn. Our guests loved having something uniquely their own to take home as a way to remember the day.

Great and professional

I loved having Dave MacDonald at my outdoor Pavillion Party, he traveled all the way here to Hanover, NH from outside Boston and my guests shared it was amazing to have his services! He is talented as a caricature artist and amazing with conversing while drawing, keeping my guests comfortable and happy while he reviewed their faces to draw the couples at my Dinner party. For the event, he asked I provide 3 chairs and a table for his set-up and working with him when he arrived was simple. Since I was busy figuring out the logistics of the rest of my party (food, lighting, music, games, etc.) it was really appreciated how simple it was to engage with his services. Would highly recommend Dave for any of your future parties, festivals, etc. !

We heard rave reviews about Dave from our wedding guests! His caricatures were such a fun and unique addition to our event, and we're thrilled to have hired him. It was great to have people be able to bring their drawings home as their wedding favor. Everyone loved it!
Dave brought a delightful twist to our office spring carnival with his caricature skills. His drawings were not only spot-on but also infused with a playful charm that had everyone smiling. What truly stood out was Dave's personable nature, effortlessly connecting with our team and making the event unforgettable.

Dave was amazing at a surprise 30th birthday party for my sister. We couldn’t access the hall therefore starting the party a little later.

Dave was amazing as communication, he ended up having to send someone else in his place after a medical procedure with his eyes. The person he sent was amazing very friendly, however the sketches were not well developed and were looking very low artistic quality.

Dave was FANTASTIC. We had a Fall Festival event at our apartment complex and Dave was a favorite for all staff and residents. Not only were his caricature drawings absolutely amazing, but he was also so friendly to all the kids and parents. The only thing we would have changed is booking him for longer! He had a line the whole time and tried his best to get to everyone but unfortunately, we ran out of time. Hope to book him again in the future!

Response from Dave MacDonald:
Thank you Stephanie ! Always great to work with you and your lovely staff.:)
So first I’d like to thank Dave for the clear communication and letting me know because he was unable to make it due to an eye issue but would be sending someone in his place. I thanked him but was secretly bummed as I had not seen the work of the artist he was sending. The new artist was extremely friendly and nice and I feel terrible saying this but her work was not up to par with what I was expecting. I was a bit disappointed as the pictures were pencil drawings. She was lovely and people were happy but I am just disappointed as this was not what I thought I’d be paying for.
Dave was great for our corporate event. A lot of people enjoyed having their caricature done and it was great for networking!

Thank you for the kind words Wendy! I had a fantastic time with your guests and a big kudos to You and Mike for hosting such a creative and lavish event. I look forward to working with you again in the future.:)
Dave created a fun and welcoming space at our family reunion and his caricature art was wildly entertaining 😂! Dave is friendly, outgoing, and arrived on time with all of his materials. He was a great communicator pre-event and we look forward to bringing him into future events and recommending him to friends and family!
I recently booked caricaturist Dave for my wedding, and although he couldn't attend due to a family emergency, he promptly communicated the situation and arranged for Dennis to fill in. Dennis proved to be a highly skilled artist, and those who had their caricatures drawn were satisfied with the results. However, I did find Dennis to have an unwelcoming attitude, which slightly impacted the overall experience. Nevertheless, I appreciate Dave's efforts in providing a replacement, ensuring that our guests still had the opportunity to enjoy this unique form of entertainment. Overall, it was a good experience, but the attitude could have been better.
Caricaturist
Dave was very professional, very friendly and did great work! Very easy to work with, showed up on time and even stayed a little bit longer to get everyone in which was appreciated- we were a big group!

Dave unfortunately could not make it due to a family emergency which I totally understand.

Most kids left disappointed.
