Incredible 🩷

Trudi was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Her communication from the very beginning was fantastic, and we were so pleased to have her be such a special part of our wedding day.

Everyone completely loved their paintings, and it was genuinely one of the most talked-about parts of the whole day. It was such a unique and personal touch, and our guests were so excited to have such a beautiful keepsake and favour to take home with them.

The paintings are such special memories for everyone to treasure, and we know they’ll be kept for years to come. Trudi also put our own painting into a frame for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and really topped it all off - it made it feel even more special.

We couldn’t recommend Trudi enough. She brought something so magical and memorable to our wedding, and we’re so grateful she was part of our day. Thank you so much, Trudi! 🤍✨

Scribble and Shine!!

We would give Trudi 100 stars if we could. She is so sweet and so easy to work with, and she was so accommodating to our wedding and the schedule we had in mind. Her artwork is amazing and she honestly checks so many weddings needs off the list!! She’s entertainment and mementos all in one, so we really didn’t have to worry about either. All of our guests told us how awe-inspiring it was to see her draw in real time, and everybody absolutely loved their portraits!!! Would recommend over and over.

Do not hesitate, book!!! 🤩

We honestly can't put into words how grateful we are to Trudi. Having her part of our day was one of the best decisions we made and, without a doubt, the best money we spent on our wedding.

Watching our guests' faces light up as they saw their portraits being created was absolutely priceless. It brought so much joy, excitement and conversation throughout the day, and it was so special seeing everyone leave with such a thoughtful keepsake they'll treasure forever.

Every single illustration was incredible. The attention to detail was beyond anything we could have imagined, and Trudi captured each guest so beautifully, making every sketch feel personal and unique.

From start to finish, Trudi was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so talented, kind and professional, and she completely exceeded every expectation we had. We feel incredibly lucky that she was part of our wedding and can't thank her enough for helping make our day even more unforgettable.

If you're thinking about booking Trudi, don't hesitate. It's an investment you'll never regret, and one of the most memorable gifts you can give both yourselves and your guests. Thank you so much Trudi, you are amazing! ❤️

A fab unique wedding favour!

Trudi came to live illustrate at our wedding on Friday. She was such a hit with our guests and worked so hard to draw as many guests as she could. Our bride and groom picture was amazing and Trudi even took the time prior to our wedding to draw my Dad who sadly passed a month before our day. We cannot recommend Scribble and Sparkle enough! Thank you for helping to make our dad unforgettable.

A Unique Keepsake for us and our guests from our day! Thank you so much 💗

We couldn't recommend Scribble & Sparkle enough!

Communication was excellent throughout, with quick replies and a smooth process from start to finish.
On our wedding day, Trudi was kind, professional and even stayed later than planned so more guests could have their illustrations on the day.

Our framed illustration is perfect! We appreciate Trudi taking the time to capture our son. We will have both illustrations displayed proudly in our home.

Our guests absolutely loved their illustrations! We've had so many compliments on them, with lots saying they're looking for frames to display them.

We chose the Silver All Inclusive package, and it was worth every penny. We received the remaining illustrations that couldn't be completed on the day just two weeks later.

Thank you so much Trudi!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trudi is an incredibly talented lady!

We chose her faceless illustration style for our wedding, and I honestly couldn't be happier with how every single one turned out. It's amazing how she manages to capture people so perfectly, each illustration is instantly recognisable.

Our guests absolutely loved them, and they were such a unique and special addition to the day. Watching everyone find their portrait and seeing their reactions was wonderful.

The quality, attention to detail and talent that goes into her work is truly impressive. We are so pleased we chose Trudi and now have such a beautiful keepsake from our wedding.

Thank you for creating something so special for us and our guests!

Couldn't recommend enough!

Having Trudi from Scribble & Sparkle at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made and such a unique addition to the day.

From our first enquiry, Trudi was incredibly friendly, professional and easy to communicate with. She was always quick to respond, which made the whole process stress-free.

On the wedding day, Trudi was fantastic with our guests and made everyone feel so comfortable. Watching the illustrations come to life throughout the day was such a lovely experience and became a real talking point among our family and friends. Everyone was so complimentary about her work and genuinely impressed by both the quality of the illustrations and how personal they felt.

The illustrations were far more than just wedding favours – they were meaningful keepsakes for our guests, and they captured memories from the day in such a special way. We absolutely love our own illustration!

We can't thank Trudi enough for her talent, professionalism and kindness. If you're considering booking Scribble & Sparkle for your wedding or event, we would recommend her without hesitation. She brought something truly special to our day, and we're so grateful she was part of it.

The Perfect and Most Personal Touch To Our Wedding Day

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect addition to our wedding day than Trudi from Scribble & Sparkle, our incredibly talented illustrator. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a warm, calming presence while seamlessly capturing the magic of the day as it unfolded.

One of the most special parts of this experience was that Trudi helped me keep it a complete secret and surprise for my husband until the big day. She was so discreet and thoughtful throughout the planning, which made the reveal even more magical and unforgettable for both of us.

Our guests were absolutely delighted to receive their portraits—it was such a unique and thoughtful touch that made the experience even more memorable for everyone. Each illustration was beautifully detailed, full of personality, and truly reflected the joy of the moment.

Not only is Trudi’s artistic talent outstanding, but her professionalism and friendliness made her a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was organised, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

We will treasure these illustrations forever—they are more than just artwork; they are heartfelt keepsakes from one of the most special days of our lives. We cannot recommend Trudi at Scribble & Sparkle highly enough to anyone looking to add something truly special and unforgettable to their wedding.
