I am an award winning Event Fashion Illustrator, and we have been live sketvhing for 4 years,

I have attended 100's of lovely weddings also events such as Award Ceremonies, Gala's big birthday Celebrations and draw your guests for the most talked about and remembered favours/gifts.
All guests are always touched by the sentimental element it brings to any special day. Not only is it entertaining to watch but all your guests will be talking and admiring there unique pieces of art.

I originally studied fashion design, but i fell in love with the figure drawing of models and highlighting clothing i had created, as much as I love my art to resemble each guests individual looks, I also like to add the element of fashion to really portray outfits and fantastic bodies, which is so lovely when at events everyone brings out their best clothes, it'm truly is a gift that guests will hang proudly on their wall, and a luxury present to gift instead of your usual keepsakes, that often get left behind.

I draw in full colour using the BEST Copic Sketch fashion illustration pens, that leave the ultimate finish, streakless and vibrant.

You will usually see me attend with my sister/content creator who takes the photos of all the lovely people/guests so know one has to stand for a portrait to be drawn which adds another luxury touch, as alot of people want to mingle and not stand waiting.

Due to My sister working with me to capture pictures and talk with guests, it also allows me to draw much faster and guarantee my guest numbers during the wedding/event, or allowing me to be set up in different locations, as all photos get air dropped to me to draw in order or with a priority list of needed.


Each drawing is packaged in waterproof wrap and displayed on my large light up unit (if room allows) for guests to appreciate and show to each other, we often keep them out until the end of our time with you, so you can also have the pleasure of seeing all portraits and having the thrill of seeing who is who, it's such a great talking element for you all, I've had some people keep all the portraits to scan into a book as a keepsake and then send to each couple as a thank you card too.


The maximum package I offer in one day is 8 hours (roughly 60 to 70 guest) but i can also (at a charge) finish remaining guests at home and send direct for bigger parties/weddings


VIP list option: to draw your main guests if you only have a small time frame or if budget doesnt allow the entire party.


An option of adding initials or printing of logos etc also available £65

Thank you!

Having Chan live illustrate at our wedding was a highlight for us and our guests! Chan and Alana are not just talented and professional but also lots of fun to have at your wedding day and we noticed our guests loved chatting to them almost as much as they loved their illustrations!

From the moment we made the first enquiry Chan was fantastic! We couldn't recommend her enough - it's so special to us that so many of our guests will cherish their illustrations for years to come and be reminded of our wedding day!

One of our friends messaged us the day after our wedding BEFORE LUNCH?! and had already framed their illustration and displayed it in their home! Which is a testament to how much guests loved their illustrations!

We managed to keep the live illustration a surprise from all our guests, even our parents, which made it all the more special!

Chan kindly helped to create an illustration as a surprise for one of our guests whose husband was unfortunately not well and had to move to a nursing home very close to our wedding date - we sneakily sent Chan a photo of him and managed to snap one of his wife on the day so Chan could create an illustration for her! This was so special and meant more to all of us than words can express, it was really emotional gifting this illustration on the day.

Not only did Chan and Alana work tirelessly all day on the illustrations (not even taking a proper break to eat their meals!) they captured some very special photos and videos we will also treasure for ever!

Thank you isn't enough.

5 star service from start to finish! If you're reading this review you NEED to book Illustration By Chan for your big day - you won't regret it!

Thank you both - Alice & Dave 31.05.25

Fantastic!

Chantel and her sister were absolutely brilliant at our wedding. Easy to speak to, engaging with guests and the children. But most of all the drawings were just so lovely! Everybody complimented them and mentioned how they were going to frame them when they got home. Just could not give them enough praise!

Unforgettable Keepsakes

It’s hard to believe but Chan’s illustrations are even better in person! Chan illustrated at our wedding and we kept it a surprise from the guests. It was an absolute hit and everyone was so overjoyed by their keepsakes of the day. It was also fun watching chan at work, working her magic capturing all the guests. Thank you to both you and your sister, for being there. It is truly a unique and unforgettable experience. You were both so lovely to work with as well. Highly recommend Chan for you wedding or event!

Chan, you are amazing!

Chan, you are absolutely amazing!!! We are so so happy we managed to get you booked in for our wedding, it was such a special touch.

All of our guests were thrilled with their portraits and couldn’t stop talking about them on the day, and are still talking about them now. All of our guests have been sending us photos of them hanging in their homes already.

If anyone is thinking of having an illustrator at their wedding, they should look no further than you because you are truly amazing.

Thank you so so so much again for being there on our special day xx

Absolutely Amazing!

Chan was the very first supplier that we booked for our wedding as we absolutely loved the idea of personalised illustrations as wedding favours for our guests and Chan's work always looked incredible. From the first point of contact, Chan was extremely easy to communicate with, she was helpful, friendly and gave us some great advice. On the day, Chan and her colleague were such a lovely presence, interacting with all of the guests while working very hard to produce such lovely drawings. Everyone was absolutely over the moon with their pictures and we have had so many comments about what an amazing idea it was and how lovely Chan and her colleague were. We are so happy we booked Chan and everyone has such a lovely keepsake from the day! Amazing pictures, amazing service, 100% could not recommend enough! We were very lucky to have Chan as part of our wedding day.

Loved them!

Both Chantel and Alana were so lovely! Chantel was so responsive, and answered any questions that I had. Nothing was to much for the girls, and a BIG thank you to them, they were facing a lot of drama with traffic but they still professional throughout. We got so many compliments from our guests on the day, and the drawings were amazing.
They were a perfect favour and would recommend them!! THANK YOU xx

Incredible 11/10!

I booked Chan to illustrate 100 guests for our wedding. Chan was extremely helpful and responsive to all messages leading up to the wedding. Chan wowed all our guests with her incredible illustrations, beautifully capturing everyone and their outfits. This made an exceptional gift for guests to take home and display in their homes. I had so many compliments about Chan and what a great idea it was. Thank you so much for travelling all the way to Lincolnshire!

From start to finish, perfect!

There is just too much to say, Chan and Alana added that extra bit of perfect to our Wedding Day. We are so pleased we booked them, to see everyone over the moon with their drawings just melts us, it definitely has added a keepsake memory for us and our guests that we will not forget and can place in our homes.

We are all in love with our drawings, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Beautiful Guest Illustrations by Chantel!

Chantel is exceptionally talented and it was a pleasure to have her and Alana at our wedding in June! The whole process of booking Chantel for her incredible illustrations was seamless and she was very responsive! The illustrations went down a mega hit with all our guests and many of them have already framed them! Beautiful work and I gasped when we saw our A5 picture as Bride and Groom! Thank you Chantel for your incredible work - would recommend her every time. One of the best decisions of our wedding we made - thank you!

The BEST part of our wedding!

Chan was the first vendor I booked (after the venue!) I’ve followed her on Instagram for ages and knew her illustrations would make the most amazing wedding favours. It was one of my favourite highlights of our wedding and everyone still talks about how friendly and kind Chan & Alana were as well as how much they love their illustration even 6 months on! Thank you Chan & Alana for making our day so amazing!

The best in the business!

I don’t even know where to begin! Myself and my husband booked Chan as one of our last suppliers and were so SO glad we did! Our guests at the wedding loved her work, Chan and her work colleague were so friendly, chatty and a great laugh! They were so easy to talk to, approachable and professional. All of our guests were amazed by her talents and the portraits are truly a wedding favour to remember. Our wedding portrait is one of our favourites and is already set up pride of place in our home.
If you’re looking for a live sketch artist I couldn’t recommend Chan anymore if I tried! Hands down one of the best suppliers!
Thank you again Chan, you’re truly brilliant x
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
