Best decision we made

We wanted something different for our wedding something that involved the guests. And also something personal they could take away.
After finding Trudi online we were really lucky she was available. After seeing the work she’d done on Instagram, I knew she’d be the perfect addition for our big day.
Trudi was amazing from start to finish she did not stop. The guests loved going up and watching, seeing if their portraits had been finished. And were all thrilled at the end when they received them. I’ve had so many people say how lovely it was and how much they loved their pictures. And what a nice unique touch it was to a wedding day.
Our picture Trudi made is taking pride of place on our wall.
I would highly recommend booking Trudi for your big day it’s a fantastic addition and she’s so friendly and fantastic at what she does.

Trudi is amazing!

Trudi is amazing! I have had her illustrate a few personal things over the years but to have her at our own wedding and share her amazing talent with our friends and family was incredible and everyone loved their drawing they received on the day!

A Wedding Day to Remember – Thanks to Trudi

Trudi was an absolute highlight of our wedding day. She was incredibly professional, with everything set up and ready to go as we came downstairs to begin the ceremony. Her calm presence and artistic flair added such a special touch to the celebration.

Our guests were thrilled with their live illustrations—each one was unique and beautifully done. Many have already framed them and proudly displayed them in their homes, which speaks volumes about the quality and charm of Trudi’s work.

Thank you, Trudi, for capturing the joy of our day so perfectly. You helped create memories that will last a lifetime 💛

An incredible addition to our Wedding Day

If you are looking for something special for your wedding day, get Trudi booked. What an amazing talent. All of our guests had their illustrations as their wedding favour and even now a month after our day, people are talking about them. You were a big hit with our guests and we feel so lucky you were a part of our day. Thank you. Our illustration of our Nelly was extra special.🤍

Just do it!

If you're thinking of hiring Trudi for your big day, just do it. All of the guests loved it and it is so much better than doing favours as there is nothing more people love than a picture of themselves feeling glamorous. We're lucky enough to already have one illustration of me and my husband and I can't wait to get another one once we have our photos back. Trudi, thank you so much for being a part of our big day, it means the world to us x

A Truly Talented and Lovely Artist

Having Trudi as part of our wedding was such a special addition to the day. She is unbelievably talented, and all of our guests were so impressed by her live artwork. It was such a fun surprise for everyone to see the painting come to life, and people are still talking about how unique and memorable it was.

Beyond her amazing talent, Trudi is also such a genuine and lovely person. She fit in so naturally with our guests and added such a warm presence to the celebration. We honestly felt so lucky to have her there, and the finished artwork is something we’ll treasure forever.

We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for something truly special on their big day.

The best addition to our wedding!

Wow! Scribble and Sparkle was the most amazing addition to our wedding! Trudi was absolutely brilliant and so friendly. Our guests absolutely loved the experience and so did we! The illustrations were amazing and such a lovely keepsake of our special day.

We can’t recommend Trudi enough, the service she provided was just perfect. She even captured the first moments of me walking down the aisle which was lovely to see. We are so grateful and lucky that Trudi was able to share in our wedding day and would urge anyone to book her for their special day, you will absolutely love it ❤️

Amazing Live Illustrations

We were so lucky to find Trudi, especially since we discovered live illustrators pretty late in the game. She fit right into our celebration, capturing portraits that our guests (and us) absolutely loved. Her setup matched our décor perfectly, making everything smooth and enjoyable. Guests had a blast watching her draw, and each portrait captured them, making for some awesome keepsakes. Trudi’s friendly vibe made everyone feel at ease. We highly recommend Trudi if you want something fun and memorable at your wedding or event—her talent and genuine warmth truly made our day special.

Beautiful keepsakes and wonderful service!

I am just so glad I stumbled across Trudi on Instagram! From my first contact Trudi was super fast at responding and the booking process was very easy, all the information she sent was very clear and informative, there were various packages to choose from and all at very reasonable prices! We chose the All inclusive package and I am so glad we did!
Before our event Trudi confirmed everything in advance and from there everything was effortless… Trudi arrived, set herself up and got to work! Our guests were absolutely mesmerised and amazed by her drawings and any that couldn’t be finished on the day were all finished and hand delivered to us very shortly after the event for us to give out. This was such a personal touch to thank our guests and give them a little keepsake of the day and Trudi really did make our day extra special - Thank you so much
