Mr Harris was a lot of fun to work with!! He was very personable, funny and made 2 minutes of sitting still enjoyable. The end results for each guest ( upwards of 75) were absolutely wonderful keepsakes that every guests was super excited about receiving. I am very happy that I was able to book with him!!
Jeff was great to work with and was a lifesaver! He does amazing work.
We booked Jeffrey to work our company holiday party.
He showed up early to get set up and then did a wonderful job entertaining and wowing our employees. They are still talking about their charicature several days later!
His personality is warm and friendly and he is very efficient. Everyone that wanted to get a sketch was able to do so.
We will definitely be booking with him again and referring him to everyone we talk to!
Response from Jeffrey Harris:
Thank you so much Chari!
I also had a wonderful time working with your awesome associates.

Jeffrey did a great job, and everyone loved, loved, loved their caricatures!
Jeffrey was amazing. Everyone loved his work and his friendly personality. Most definitely one of the best things we spent money on for our reception. Would absolutely book him in the future. If you are considering it, don't! Get him reserved, you won't regret it.
Amazing! Friendly and very compassionate about his work. Detail oriented and great personality. Highly recommend and will hire him in the future.
Loved his professionalism and speed. Would hire him again in the future.
Jeff showed up early to set up and be ready and even stayed a few minutes after to make sure everyone had their turns (some multiple times). Everyone was happy with his work and it was definitely a hit with the customers. Will absolutely hire again at the next store event.
Jeffrey is talented and personable!
Our guests absolutely loved the drawings.
Response from Jeffrey Harris:
Thank you, Adele!! I do wish wish my schedule would have allowed me to have worked a little overtime beyond our agreement. Your event was chock full of great people!
We booked Mr. Harris for a 10th birthday party. Everyone loved his work. He did an amazing job. We would 100% recommend him to anyone!
Response from Jeffrey Harris:
Thank you, Jessica! It was a pleasure working with you!
We had Jeff come to our holiday open house at our office. He was an absolute pleasure to work with - professional, timely, kind and polite throughout the process. His pictures were a hit! And they truly looked like the subjects he was drawing. If you want a great experience and great keepsakes for your guests, please hire Jeff!!
Response from Jeffrey Harris:
Thank you, Nicole!
It always makes my job easier when I'm working with such a wonderful group of people!
Delivered on every single thing we spoke about and then some! People loved Jeff and there were always people sitting down to get drawn. It looked amazing and he was unbelievably fast in his art as well. Stellar experience!
Response from Jeffrey Harris:
Thank you Broc! I had a great time as well. It was a pleasure working with you.
We hire Jeffrey to be a caricature artist at our wedding, and we are incredibly happy that we did! He had such an extra element of joy to the wedding. Our guests absolutely love getting drawn, his chairs were filled the entire time. His drawings are awesome and he is a true artist! He is very accommodating with excellent communication skills, he has a very calming and warm presents about him. Definitely consider Jeffrey as a character artist for your next event!
Response from Jeffrey Harris:
Thank you so much Ashley! It was an honor to be a part of your special day.
Congratulations to you and Dr. Gary!
Our event was an outside/inside wedding affair. The two caricature artists did an exceptional job of engaging our guests. Their end product brought a lot of smiles to the group. I would highly recommend booking Jeffrey Harris and his staff.
Jeff Harris was Punctual, Professional, and Proud of his talent! He arrived on time, set up professionally, and got right to drawing! JEFF was quite good at observing and catching on paper unique character traits in his portraits! I observed two different situations ...where unbeknownst to him...Jeff was drawing relatives such as mother/daughter each coming up at a different time during the evening...yet when we held the portraits together....definite family likenesses were portrayed! This is a high compliment to a caricaturist as Jeff was NOT drawing a standard "form face"...he was drawing with a keen artist's eye and talent! Jeff also did not take a break...he had a line of people waiting fir a portrait and he quickly and quietly worked at each drawing professionally to give 100% to the job he was hired for during the evening of our event! He also used quality materials as dark smear proof markers, nice heavy quality paper of a good size, signed his work and put each piece in a good sized nice quality plastic pouch! Everyone really enjoyed showing off their portraits and were quite happy with a "custom" made gift, "frameworthy" and ready to take home! Jeff's Price was also Right! We couldn't have been happier with his services! The venue coordinator also took his card and will get in touch with Jeff to be put on the venue's recommended list! Bravo to a 5 Tar Caricaturist....he earned this Great Review!
Jeff did a terrific job for our daughter's fourth birthday party. It was a "Supergirl" theme and he drew everyone's heads on the bodies of super heroes. He was very personable and friendly throughout. He drew on an iPad Pro and brought a printer with him. We were able to connect his iPad to our AppleTV, so that everyone could watch him draw live on the TV. Terrific setup and we'd highly recommend him.
We hired Jeffrey to do caricatures as our wedding favors. It was a huge hit. Everyone loved him, and the caricatures turned out great. He was busy from start to finish, the whole 5 hours! He was amazing and the perfect touch to our big day!
We hired Jeffrey for a corporate fundraising event (on Christmas Eve). He was a HUGE hit. Very responsive, prompt, has reasonable fees and is super easy to get along with. He stayed longer than we booked but was gracious enough not to accept a tip because it was a fundraiser. We would absolutely have him again and would recommend him for any event.
Jeff is awesome! Our Wedding was this past Saturday and Jeff came to our rescue after another artist had cancelled on us just a few days prior. Honestly, it was one of the best things that could have happened! Jeff was accommodating and made our Wedding that much more fun! Everyone loved getting their caricatures done and will have a keepsake to remember our Wedding! We recommend him highly!!
