BOS Design absolutely made our wedding day!

These guys were brilliant from the start, we were impressed with how many things they provide in their packages. The value is unreal.

The artwork was amazing, all of our guests LOVED their portraits and were messaging me in the few days after wondering if they would get the extra ones they had done... which they did, as BOS finished off all of the photos they didn't have time to do on our wedding and posted them to us. They did some of the special photos on larger A4 and even included an amazing framed realistic portrait of me and my husband. Just wow!

They were so flexible as I was a little bit cheeky and requested a change in arrival time from afternoon to evening. I wasn't sure if it was doable, but Ruth assured me it was no problem and they could arrive at the new time.

If I could get married again, I'd book these guys every time! Thank you so much, Sarah & Chay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazingly talented and a great addition to our special day!

We couldn’t have been happier with Ruth and the incredible experience she brought to our wedding. Her illustrations were absolutely beautiful and captured our guests so perfectly, everyone was amazed by her talent!

From start to finish, Ruth was a pleasure to work with. She was friendly, professional, and a fantastic communicator, making everything so easy in the lead up to the day. On the day itself, she blended in seamlessly while creating such a fun and unique experience for our guests.

The illustrations were one of the highlights of the wedding. Our guests absolutely loved them, and they were still talking about them long after the day had ended. It was such a special keepsake for everyone to take home, and it added something truly memorable to our celebration.

We can’t recommend Ruth highly enough. If you’re looking for something unique that your guests will love and remember, she is absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Ruth, for helping make our special day even more unforgettable!

Perfect wedding illustration

Ruth is absolutely incredible. The artwork provided went above and beyond what we expected and was exceptional value for money

All of the guests loved the experience and were thrilled to take their portraits home.

It was great for passing a few awkward hours between the ceremony and dinner to keep everyone entertained

Can't wait to hang our portraits up on the wall now

Highly recommend!

Ruth from BOS Design, is just incredible at what she does! From the start, booking with her was super easy, extremely organised and communication was great. Then on the day, she turned with her assistant and all our guests said how wonderful and friendly they were and our guests were blown away with the idea and the amazing portraits she did - an amazing keepsake for them to keep forever!
Afterwards, we received a beautiful package of more guest portraits, an incredible hand drawn illustration of us, as well as an amazing framed digital portrait (she even went to the effort of including chocolates in the package!). We will cherish these illustrations for life and they perfectly encapsulate our day.
Can not recommend BOS Design highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
