A lifesaver!

Where do I even start?! Maddy was an absolute lifesaver when our original live illustrator could no longer make our wedding, and I honestly couldn't be happier that we ended up booking her!

She was absolutely incredible from start to finish, and every single illustration was beautiful. We had so many guests commenting on how amazing their drawings were, with some even insisting that they wanted to pay her for them seperately!

One of my favourite things was that she somehow managed to illustrate my twin brothers, who were dressed exactly the same, and you can STILL tell which one is which! I think that says everything about just how talented she is!

Having Maddy at our wedding was such a unique and special touch, and so many of our guests said they'd never seen anything like it before. Not only did she provide such a lovely experience on the day, but our guests also got to take home a beautiful, personal keepsake.

I genuinely couldn't recommend Maddy enough. Thank you so much for stepping in at the last minute and being such a wonderful part of our day! ❤️

Incredible!!

Maddy was incredible!! All the guests loved the drawings and still talk about it afterwards!! Maddy was also able to draw a honey badger for one of our guests with no questions 😂 Unfortunately, a close family friend couldn’t make the wedding but she was able to include him in a drawing with his wife which was a lovely touch! The final drawing of the bride and groom is fantastic!!

Would highly recommend!!

Best decision we made

We hired Maddy for our wedding this weekend and she was the highlight of the reception. All my guests were thrilled with their illustrations. Maddy was incredible at communicating and put my mind at rest on more than one occasion. Maddy is incredibly talented and so very thoughtful - doing us lots of extra illustrations of our day including a very special illustration of our son which we will treasure forever. I cannot thank Maddy enough for being a part of our day. Don’t even think about it just BOOK HER!
