The best addition to our day!
I really don't know where to start. From the point of booking, Frankie has been exceptional. Their communication throughout and right up until the day has been amazing and they were always happy to answer any queries we had, no matter how small. We loved the idea of a live illustrator at our wedding but couldn't quite find the style we liked, with most often lacking the facial detail, until we found Frankie & Illustration by Kiwi and instantly fell in love. From the moment we booked them, we were SO excited to have Frankie illustrate our guests and we decided to keep it a secret (which was very difficult).
On the day, Frankie and Kirsty brought the VIBES! They are both so lovely, friendly, chatty and professional. Our guests reactions to them being there after the ceremony was also so heart warming to see. Frankie's attention to detail coupled with both of their approachable manner meant that they were a huge hit throughout the afternoon, and it was so nice to see everybody's illustration hanging up after it had been finished. We really loved that myself and my husband were illustrated first, as well as our cake (an added bonus!!) and proudly displayed at the front of their table for all of our guests to see as well.
I cannot thank Frankie and Kirsty enough for being THE most talked about part of our day - all of our guests and ourselves included are absolutely overjoyed with the illustrations and both of their warm personalities have left a lasting impression on everyone.
I would highly highly highly recommend having Frankie and Kirsty at ANY event you are planning!! To you both, thank you for being just so AWESOME!

Wedding portraits April 2025
We had the pleasure of Frankie and Kirstie drawing at our wedding, I absolutely love their artwork so I knew I had to have them at our wedding.
Loads of the guests were really impressed by the illustrations and were really pleased they could take the artwork home.
Everyone was captured perfectly and I’m over the moon with mine and my new husbands portrait as well as the portrait of our cake.
Both Frankie and Kirstie were super friendly and lovely people to meet. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend!
We had the most wonderful experience with our illustration artist, who created beautiful custom drawings of the bride, groom, and our wedding guests. The illustrations were absolutely stunning — full of character, charm, and such a lovely personal touch. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail and how accurately each piece captured their likeness and personality. The artist was professional, friendly, and so easy to work with throughout the process. It added such a unique and memorable element to our day, and we’re so grateful to have these keepsakes to cherish forever. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to add something truly special to their wedding.

What a truly magical way to capture memories!
Frankie & Kirsty were truly outstanding. From the point of first contact until they left our wedding, they were amazing.
Frankie is so talented with her art and Kirsty is so talented with the picture and content creation side of things - they make the best team!
They captured all the guests we asked them to and they even took on extra to do in their own time at no extra charge.
So friendly, so warm and most importantly so memorable for us and our guests on our special day. The detail and likeness of the portraits are second to none, as well as being so reasonable in terms of value. The best decision we made for our wedding day.
Thank you, both!
Love Chloe & Tom, The View, Westbury ♥️

Incredible
I found Illustration by Kiwi to be an amazing service. Frankie (the illustrator) has absolutely incredible talent, her art work is beautiful and she couldn't have been more accommodating. Frankie answered any questions we had and helped us understand how the process works. We felt comfortable with Frankie, she fitted in with us immediately. We were amazed by the illustrations we received and have since had it framed. Our guests also mentioned how happy they are with there illustrations. I would definitely recommend illustration by Kiwi to anybody getting married. Thank you Frankie, you really are an incredibly talented person.

Best Illustrators in the business
I cannot recommend Frankie enough. They were both absolutely amazing. Fast responses and first class customer service and the illustrations were just beautiful. They put you completely at ease with their professional and friendly manner. They are both people I would love to have around me as friends. They delivered exactly what they said they would and were completely on top of everything. They even over ran and didn’t want anything extra. My guests loved how unique the idea was and it made my day extra special. Frankie dealt directly with my venue so there was no stress and arrived extra early to set up so fabulous time keeping. Completely trust worthy and great value for money. Thank you again. Incredible. Kelly xx

Gratitude through the roof!!!
Not only are Illustration by Kiwi the most lovely people we've ever met, but also AMAZINGLY talented. We me them whilst exhibiting at wedding fairs and Frankie painted a beautiful portrait of my partner while we were there and recently this one of me. Their paintings and portraits are the perfect gift for anyone for any occasion. They are beautiful and painted with such care and attention. I was so touched and blown away that i recently commissioned Frankie to paint a family portrait for some friends, complete with their pets. It left everyone in complete awe and amazement and the gratitude was through the roof.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you so much x
