Our team loved the experience. What truly sets Rory apart is his ability to capture personality, not just features. Every sketch was spot-on, flattering, and filled with humor in the best way. Guests were laughing, taking photos of their drawings, and immediately posting them. It created a buzz that carried throughout the entire event.
He was professional, punctual, efficient, and so easy to work with from start to finish. If you’re looking for a unique touch that guests will talk about long after the event ends, Rory is your person.
