Live caricature artist for weddings and events
An artist draws your guests by hand while they sit and watch.
12–15 sketches an hour, per artist
A caricature stall behaves differently from a printed one. It is slower — twelve to fifteen sketches an hour rather than sixty — so it is not the right choice if your goal is to get a souvenir into every guest's hand. What it does instead is hold a crowd: people stand behind the chair, watch the drawing appear, and stay. That makes it a good second stall alongside magnets at a large wedding, or the right single choice at a smaller, longer function where you want something for guests to gather around.
How it runs
- 01
A guest takes the chair
One subject at a time, or a couple in a single frame if they would rather.
- 02
The artist draws
By hand, in front of them, in roughly four to five minutes.
- 03
A crowd forms
It always does. The drawing is half the entertainment.
- 04
They take it away
Sleeved so it survives the rest of the evening.

Where we bring it
No travel charge anywhere in the Tricity. Outside those four we take bookings anywhere in India. Travel, and a stay for the crew where the distance needs one, are quoted on the enquiry rather than added later.
Destination weddings
Destination weddings are a regular part of the work. The whole stall travels — crew, printers, press and consumables — and the venue still only needs a table, a covered spot and two sockets.

Questions we get asked
What is the best stall for a wedding?
It depends almost entirely on guest count. Above 300 guests a magnet stall is the only one that reaches most of the room, at 60–70 an hour per artist. Below 150, a caricature artist reaches a similar share and holds a crowd while doing it.
What is the best wedding favour for guests?
The one with a place to live. A magnet goes on a fridge door and is still there a year later; a box of sweets is gone in three days and a trinket goes in a drawer. Personalised beats branded, because a guest keeps their own face, not your monogram.
What is a live fridge magnet stall?
A small counter set up at your venue with a camera, a printer and a press. Guests are photographed, the picture is printed and mounted onto a magnet in front of them, and they walk away holding it about ninety seconds later.
What are some fun activities for guests at a wedding?
Anything with a visible outcome beats anything that has to be organised. A live stall, a caricature artist or a staffed candy counter each give guests somewhere to walk to and something to take home, and nobody has to be talked into joining in.
Do you make acrylic magnets as well?
Yes. Alongside the glossy square magnet we make a clear acrylic panel printed with the same photograph. Both are made live at the counter — say which you would prefer on the enquiry and we will quote it.
Can a magnet stall replace the return gift?
That is what most couples book it for. Nothing has to be bought in advance, stored or handed out, nothing is left over, and every guest collects their own with your names and the date already on it.
How many magnets can you make in an hour?
Sixty to seventy per hour, per artist, once the queue has settled. The first fifteen minutes are slower while people work out what the stall is. A four-artist booking clears a 500-guest wedding comfortably in a three-hour slot.
Can we book more than one stall type?
Yes, and at larger weddings it works well — magnets handle volume while a caricature artist holds a crowd. Booking two together costs less than booking them as two separate events.
Can the souvenir carry our names or company logo?
That is the default. Weddings get the couple's names and the date; corporate bookings get the company logo on the souvenir, the backdrop and the stall signage. Send a vector logo file if you have one.
