The Best Illustrator Around!

We don't even have the words to explain how incredible we think Frankie & Kirsty are. From the minute of seeing Frankie's artwork, we knew we wanted to book them!!!
Frankie's communication was fab throughout and they explained all of their packages and what would be best for our size wedding. Frankie is so so talented.

On the day, we were blown away with our ceremony picture (which is now in pride of place on our gallery wall) and our guests were obsessed. Frankie & Kirsty felt more like friends and we just absolutely loved having them at our wedding.

If you're thinking about booking, stop thinking and just do it- you won't regret it at all. The perfect keepsake from your big day.

Already planning the next event that we could book them for! Thank you so much Frankie & Kirsty x

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.

Made our wedding day even more special!

We were so thrilled with Kiwi Illustration from day one! They were very communicative before our wedding which made our planning stress free and on the day not only did they give our guests and us beautiful portraits they were so lovely and happy and bought the energy you would want on your day! They're a talented and friendly team and we would recommend them 10 times over! They were the talk of the wedding and went down amazingly with our guests too

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!

💖 A Huge Thank You to Illustration by Kiwi

We just want to say the biggest thank you to Frankie and Kirsty for the beautiful illustrations of our friends and family you created for our wedding. Your talent, kindness, and attention to detail honestly blew us away.

You captured the feeling of our day so perfectly — the smiles and love, all wrapped up in your gorgeous artwork. We’ll treasure these illustrations forever; they bring all the love and happiness of that day rushing back every time we look at them.

Kiwi is the best!

First off Kiwi is definitely value for money! It left such as a lasting impression with our guests and they all got a keepsake of the day to take home (or be delivered at a later date)

Kiwi is so easy to work with - we had a planning call and provided a list of the people to capture and on the day they did the rest. The ceremony portrait they completed was fantastic! The energy the Kiwi team brought on the day was infectious, they were so happy and helpful and really engaged with the guests

10/10 would definitely recommend

Amazing addition!

Having an illustrator was an amazing addition to our day! Frankie your art is amazing and our guests loved it. Kirsty you’re a superstar assistant.
We did these instead of favours and it’s so much more meaningful.
Pricing packages were really flexible and allowed us to fit it into our budget.
No fuss on the day which I was so grateful for as it’s a hectic day.
Couldn’t recommend more highly!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
