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 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.

Thank you both for putting so much heart into what you do. We feel so lucky to have had you as part of our wedding story. 💕

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!!

Wedding guest illustrations!

We hired Illustration by Kiwi for our wedding in August and it was brilliant! It took ages to find a vendor that offered the illustrative style we wanted whilst also being within our somewhat limited budget. Frankie and Kirsty were absolutely wonderful from the enquiry stage all the way to after our big day! They were polite, responsive and flexible with our needs. Everyone loved them and their illustrations, definitely a highlight of the day!

Absolutely fantastic!!!

Kirsty and Frankie were fabulous from start to finish, they were fast to respond to my initial enquiry and answered any questions I had. They communicated directly with the venue prior to day which took some stress off me, and then we’re just brilliant on the day. Not only are they lovely humans, the illustrations were amazing and we had so many comments from guests about how great they were! Would recommend them to anyone!

Perfect addition to our day! 🌈

Frankie and Kirsty were amazing! We enquired very last minute and were very lucky they were available and happy to slot us in. They really made the day and everyone was talking about it and enjoyed getting their illustration. A fantaistic double act everything ran very smootly. The live ceremony portrait captures all the little details perfectly and it was so nice to have this up at the reception for everyone to see. Would highly recomend 🥰🌈

Perfect Personalised Pictures!

Frankie created the most wonderful illustrations four our wedding. They created an A7 sized handdrawn illustration of each of our wedding guests that we used as both place cards on our table and wedding favours. All we had to do is provide a picture of each of our guests (they submitted one as part of their RSVP!). Frankie perfectly captured our guests in their illustrations and were a favour that they could hold onto. There were a couple of instances where the photos provided by our guests weren't right but Frankie was super accommodating and re-did the illustrations when we provided better photographs!

Best surprise for our guests!

If you are on the fence about booking an illustrator for you wedding then look no further than Frankie!

From start to finish we have had clear communication with speedy response - our guests and ourselves are literally over the moon with the illustration favours!

We also had our ceremony painted and it has been non stop compliments from our guests about how beautiful the painting was - even including our two fur babies 🩷

Words can’t put into how glad I am that we booked kiwi illustrations for our day 🙏🏻

Insane!!!!

We had the absolute pleasure of having you at our wedding, and I can honestly say they were one of the highlights of the entire day. Their talent is truly incredible — the illustrations were stunning and captured the joy, love, and little moments so beautifully.

But beyond the artwork, what really made the experience special was how warm, friendly, and engaging they were with all of our guests. Everyone adored them! People are still talking about how unique and fun it was to have them there.

If you're thinking about booking - do it. They brought so much joy to our day and gave us keepsakes we’ll cherish forever. I can’t recommend them enough — thank you again for making our wedding even more magical Shannon & Alex

An absolute must!

An absolutely incredible addition to our wedding day, our guests LOVED their illustrations and fedback to us about how great Frankie was throughout the day and afterwards. Not only were the illustrations amazing, Frankie brought absolute charm and positivity and everytime we looked across there were huge smiles around the stand from our guests. The whole process from booking, to our initial virtual meeting and check ins, was seamless. We couldn't recommend Illustration by Kiwi more! Don't hesitate in making Ilustration by Kiwi a part of your special day!
