Reviews for Tea Bear Illustrations
A Truly Special Touch – Our Guests Loved It
Her communication throughout was great, and her pricing was very reasonable for something so personal and memorable. On the day, she showed me some of the illustrations she’d already done and they were amazing. Our guests were absolutely made up with their little takeaway favours — we had so many compliments and lovely comments about them.
Sarah also went above and beyond after the wedding. One of my cousins didn’t pick up her illustration and it couldn’t be found, so I emailed Sarah and she immediately offered to create another one. She’s even sending it along with our own portrait in the post, which I can’t wait to see.
If you’re looking for something a bit different that your guests will genuinely treasure, I highly recommend Tea Bear Illustrations. Sarah is talented, professional, and an absolute joy to work with.
