Amazing addition to the wedding

We were looking for a unique addition to our wedding that would double as favours to our guests, and my wife investigated options for artists. After looking at many, Kiwi was our clear favourite and we reached out.

Frankie was quick and professional with her responses from day one, and gave us ample details about the different packages available. We discussed with her our guest numbers and any extras we wanted and she helped point us to the best priced package that met all of our needs. She was not pushy and did not try to upsell – she wanted to know what we needed and work with us. Frankie was clear every step of the way so there was never any confusion about expectations from either side.

We messaged her a few times leading up to our wedding and she was always very helpful with her prompt replies. We had a short video call with her ahead of the wedding to get to know her, which was a lovely touch and helped us feel comfortable with each other.

On the day she arrived with her assistant in a timely manner. The guests absolutely loved the personal touch for wedding favours and were so impressed – not just with the quality of their portraits, which they got to take home as keepsakes, but with the sheer amount that Frankie was able to paint in the allotted time.

Throughout the reception and evening guests were excitedly showing one another their portraits and uploading them to our photo website so everybody could view one another’s later on.
It was such a great experience and was an incredibly reasonable price too. Just as important was Frankie and Kirsty’s friendliness. In the moments we had available to talk to them, it was like chatting to friends who we’d known forever. Our guests and family said the same – the pair were an absolute pleasure to talk to.

We cannot recommend Illustration by Kiwi enough. If you are looking for a unique and personal addition to your wedding then do not hesitate. Booking Kiwi will improve your day and make it even more perfect!

100% recommend Mr & Mrs Stocks

From enquiring Frankie was just wonderful. She not only told us about what to expect on the day but also just got to know us which was so lovely. We are so pleased we decided to choose Frankie for our illustrations, she is so friendly and smiley! Both Frankie and Kirsty made our day so special! All of our guests loved their illustrations and we cannot recommend them enough! Frankie’s illustrations are beautiful and so accurate! If you’re thinking of getting them done, do it, you won’t regret it! Thank you so much! Lots of love the new Mr & Mrs Stocks! X

Just amazing

I honestly don’t know how to put into words how amazing Frankie is.
We booked the live ceremony package for an illustration of us at the end of the aisle, and what Frankie created was beyond our wildest dreams. The picture honestly took our breaths away and brought a tear to my eye when I saw it, and still does anytime I look at it now. The level of detail they captured is incredible.
We are so pleased we booked them, and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

Simply a must have!

The title says it all. Frankie was someone I found on Instagram and immediately booked. Their talent? Unbelievable. Their personality? Unmatched. Their business? Perfection. They’ve been so communicative and even helped design some bits for our wedding invites and save the dates based on some inspo images I sent them. On the day team illustration by kiwi we’re bringing such a beautiful energy and enthusiasm which ally guests loved. Everyone was so shocked by how efficient they were and how amazing the illustrations were. They went above and beyond to capture beautiful images to draw and the details on them were spectacular! I had endless people saying they were so excited to frame their pictures and were amazed by their addition to the day. I can’t wait to see our large illustration but have already framed the most amazing illustration of us with our dog that they made us. If you’re thinking of booking Frankie, DO IT!! I promise you will not regret it. I’d hire them every day if I could!

A Truly Unforgettable Part of Our Wedding Day

We cannot recommend Frankie highly enough. Having her as our live wedding illustrator was one of the most special parts of our day. Kirsty was equally brilliant, and together they brought such a fun, exciting energy that instantly made us love them.

They were friendly, professional, and incredibly well organised. Our guests were completely obsessed, many of them have since framed their illustrations and put them up on their walls, and it is consistently one of the number one things people still praise about our wedding.

The illustrations themselves are beautiful, thoughtful keepsakes, and Frankie’s talent combined with Kirsty’s support meant so many guests could be illustrated without it ever feeling rushed. It added a truly unique, memorable touch to the day.

Thank you both for being such a wonderful part of our wedding.

The PERFECT experience

Frankie is INCREDIBLE!! We first met them at a Rebel Love wedding fair in Bristol, and immediately fell in love with their artwork. We knew that our invites and save the dates were really important to us and we knew that Frankie was incredibly talented, but we never anticipated that they would be able to create the images we had inside our heads so perfectly. Frankie is a dream to work with -- immensely prompt, extremely professional, and ridiculously gorgeous artwork. As well, the price was surprisingly competitive and my fiance and I were both pleasantly surprised at our final invoices! Overall, we cannot recommend Illustrations at Kiwi enough, it was a fabulous experience and we could not be happier with the finished products.

Oxford Town Hall Christmas Parties

Kiwi are an absolute delight to work with. From the moment we first enquired, they were professional, incredibly talented, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Having them illustrate at all of our Christmas parties gave our guests a beautifully bespoke experience that perfectly reflected what we set out to create. I highly recommend Kiwi Illustrations, a truly fantastic service!

Absolutely Incredible ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I can’t tell you just how pleased I was with illustrationbykiwi. Frankie and Kirsty are so lovely! I felt like I knew them before we had even met and I can only put that down to the fantastic communication both via email and face time ahead of my wedding. They wowed our guests with their incredible talent and total kindness. My daughter (who is 4) was fascinated by their work and really enjoyed the conversations. In fact, she hardly left them alone!! 😂 I would book again 1000 times over. Great service and fantastic talent.

Super talented illustrator - don't get married without their art!

Frankie and the team at Illustration by Kiwi are absolutely incredible - they made our wedding so beautiful and memorable! We worked with Frankie for our invitations, and they made custom stickers, paper menus for the reception, they decorated the chalkboards at our venue, made custom signs for our dessert table and bathrooms, and we even had live illustrations for our guests on our wedding day!

It was a real pleasure to work with Frankie and the team, they are so kind, patient and sweet, and truly such a talented illustrator. We felt really involved in the design process, with the freedom to make edits to the content of our designs and get everything perfect. We had our three cats included in our designs which was such a lovely way to have them included in our day, and Frankie captured their personalities so beautifully! We loved seeing our tattoos recreated so carefully in their artwork, all those little beautiful details felt so magical.

Throughout the whole process Frankie really bought the energy, they were just as excited as we were for the big day! We cannot recommend Illustration by Kiwi enough, they made our day feel so magical! Our guests absolutely loved their portraits, and in particular our trans and queer guests felt so affirmed and represented by their illustrations, Frankie really saw our loved ones for the beautiful humans they are, and it shines through every illustration. We cannot thank you enough! It was such a pleasure to work together, every task was approached with such care and attention to detail, a big smile and just a little bit of glitter! Thank you for making our day so magical, we are so pleased we chose Illustration by Kiwi!
