Completely and utterly amazing ❤️

I don’t even know where to start when writing this review. When I initially got in touch with Catherine I wasn’t really sure what I wanted but had saw the work she had done and knew that I needed to have her be a part of my wedding. Me and my partner were struggling with what to have as favours for our special day and decided on having our guests illustrated by Catherine. She couldn’t have been more helpful throughout the process constantly keeping me updated and answering any questions I had swiftly. It was safe to say me and my partner couldn’t wait to meet Catherine and see her talent in person. Our wedding day came and I was literally stunned by the amazing illustrations done of all my guests and when it came to receiving our illustration I happy cried immediately. My guests couldn’t wait to see their illustrations of them and all commented on what a lovely genuine person Catherine was and I can’t do anything but agree whole heartedly, Not only is Catherine so talented but is such a lovely kind lady.
I cannot state enough how if you don’t have Catherine illustrating at your wedding you and your guest will be missing out.

Amazing illustrator

We couldn’t have asked for a better illustrator for our wedding! Catherine was absolutely lovely—so kind, professional, and incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. Her artwork was amazing, and all our guests were thrilled with their illustrations. She went above and beyond, even creating extra illustrations for us after the wedding. It was such a special touch to our day, and we’re so grateful for her talent and dedication. We would highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a fantastic live illustrator!

Fantastic illustrator for weddings!

Catherine recently completed illustrations at my wedding in December. From my first contact with Catherine, she has been fantastic. She is quick to reply, professional and it is clear that she absolutely loves being a part of people’s weddings. It was so lovely working with someone who loves what they do- that really comes across with Catherine. The illustrations at the wedding were fantastic and our guests loved them! Any that weren’t finished on the day were posted to me shortly after with a lovely card. Catherine even sent me a uncoloured illustration of my brother as he told her he wanted to colour it in! She goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her more. If you’re considering it, go for it! Thank you so much Catherine- you are amazing xx

Amazing Illustrator!

Catherine is absolutely wonderful! I had a vendor cancel last minute and Catherine quite literally jumped in to save the day! Her work was absolutely fantastic and our wedding guests loved her! The communication was amazing from the beginning and she was incredibly warm and friendly. We had more guest wanting illustrations than Catherine had time to do on the wedding day (and she did so many! What a talent!), and we were so impressed by her work that we asked for them all to be completed to be sent out with the Thank you cards, as a keepsake afterwards.
If you are considering Catherine as a vendor, book her! You will not regret it!

A great experience!

Catherine illustrated our guests at our wedding in August and we were so happy with her work. She always responded really quickly to any questions we had and the booking process was seamless. It was also a lovely touch to receive an illustration of us prior to our wedding which is framed and on show in our lounge! The guests loved seeing their pictures being painted and Catherine was super friendly, even allowing my four year old niece to complete her own drawing after she had watched her. We would definitely recommend Catherine for a wedding or event and lots of our guests mentioned how nice it was to see something a bit different. Thank you Catherine! Emily & Henry

Excellent and unique addition to wedding

We absolutely loved having Catherine at our wedding! She took pictures of our guests before the ceremony (so you didn’t notice any disruption!) and then got to painting straight away. The guests loved seeing their painting be ready, we then took them all away to write thank you messages on the back. Would thoroughly recommend!

Amazing !!

Catherine’s attention to detail is brilliant. She caught the most beautiful moment of myself and my husband saying our vows, on our wedding day. Moving through the venue so our guests could enjoy watching her paint as we went off for some photos meant we felt happy leaving them with some kind of ‘entertainment’.

We spoke a little about what our expectations were and she absolutely nailed it. We were so happy with the end result. The painting is just amazing and we couldn’t thank her enough, it’s such an unusual way to remember the day that we will treasure forever.

Thanks so much !
