We hired Rick to bring some magic to our company Christmas party, and he absolutely exceeded every expectation! Rick’s talent is exceptional – his caricatures captured not only the likeness but also the personality of each guest with such creativity and charm. Everyone was thrilled to take home a personalized keepsake, and it became the highlight of the event.
Rick’s professionalism and warmth made the experience even more delightful. He was punctual, engaging, and made each guest feel at ease while he worked his magic. His ability to keep the line moving smoothly while still delivering quality art was impressive, and his presence added a fun, interactive element to our celebration.

Rick Welch was a hit at our Holiday Party - we booked an additional Hour - and everyone loved him and his work.
We had a great experience with Richard!
We had the perfect experience from Rick Welch! We hired him for out daughter's 1st birthday party and he was a hit! People for sure love getting their caricature portrait done. It's a great additional to almost any part. Rick arrived when he said he would, about a half hour before our party started, and he was very pleasant to work with. All of our guests got their caricatures done. We love his style and would definitely book him again in the future.
Rick was outstanding . He stayed for 3 hours and all at my son’s party thought he was great. He is friendly and outgoing. Highly recommended!!!
Professional, nice guy. We organised for the kids and they were all happy. He does sketches fast which are fun and create a nice memory.
Rick was punctual, diligent and very respectful. The cartoons were also a lot of fun! We were very happy with Rick's work.
Thank you so very much for helping make our event a success. Our guests loved your work and we thank you for helping make memorable keepsakes with your artwork.
Rick provided services for a retirement dinner party, everyone loved the idea. He was very professional. I would recommend for all events
Rick was fantastic! A pleasure to work with! Arrived on time. Quick set up. Only needs a table and two chairs. Everyone loves getting their funny portrait sketched by Rick. He made my guests feel comfortable and at ease while sitting for their caricature and the sketches were quick. He had no problem staying overtime so everyone could get done as we had a lot of guests. I would recommend him and definitely use him again!

Rick provided his caricaturist services during our company holiday party and he was a hit! Everyone got to take home a sketch with them. Highly recommend!!
Rick did an amazing job with the caricatures! Our guests loved them and even texted us about how great they were. He is very skilled and engaging as well. Highly recommend him!
Rick was awesome! Very professional & patient with each individual drawing! Almost everyone of my guests wanted to have a caricature drawn with my 1year old and he was very patient with each one! Thank you so much ! He’s the best!!
We had Rick at our wedding on August 17, 2019. He was prompt, professional and a hard worker. He also was lovely to talk with while getting a caricature completed. Our guests loved him. I would highly recommend him for any event!
Excellent. He was on time and prepared. And did an exemplary job. Nothing I would change about our experience.
Had Rick at a Charity Event that we had at Westfield Lord & Taylor. He was on-time, professional and a big hit with customers! Thanks Rick!
I hired Rick for my son's 1st birthday that was a carnival theme - it worked perfectly with the theme. Rick was so easy to communicate with through the process- he arrived early and was such a pleasure to work with- we had over 150 guests and Rick worked non stop for 2 hrs drawing as many faces as he could - he was a complete hit and I will certainly hire him again....thank you Rick!
Arrived early, very nice to everyone, party was a hit.
Rick showed up early to the event and helped me figure out where the right placement for him was. He was friendly and engaging during the entire event, which is great when you're sitting across from someone while they draw you :) We loved having him be a part of our event and would love to have him back in the future!
Rick was excellent at our corporate holiday party. He drew caricatures for 4 straight hours. Great personality and was a big hit!!
Rick was very professional and churned out a bunch of great caricatures! We had a carnival event and Rick was the most popular vendor we had.
Very professional , on time everyone enjoyed it.
