The gentleman showed up at our house, very timely, and set up very quickly in order to get everything moving. As we proceeded end of the night, I talk to him throughout the entire process and he tried and helped facilitate every single thing that we asked for. I was very grateful and very satisfied and happy with everything that he did. He made lasting memories for us that will go on for a lifetime. May my wife’s birthday one-of-a-kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone for a kids or adult party.
Jeff came to do drawings at Venice Hospital about 6 years ago, we became friend thru facebook, I sent him a message and asked if he was available to attend my boyfriends 60th birthday - on Jan 6th, he was free, Jeff traveled from his location Riverview to Venice and arrived early, he set up his stand and began drawing, everyone complimented me on what a brilliant idea, they had so much fun with Jeff. He did an amazing job on the drawings, in the future I will use him again. This makes for a great party or graduation add on. Thanks to Venice Hospital 6 years ago for allowing me to meet this talented man.

I'm so happy I hired Jeff for my daughter's first birthday party. We had a range of guests, from babies to adults, and all of the caricatures came out beautifully. He's very good with kids, can capture even the squirmy ones in like 1 minute, and has a personality that people are drawn to. Can't wait for my son's birthday in August now!

Endless compliments to the ever lasting memories of caricatures Jeff made for my son's and daughter's birthday bash! Jeff was very personable....all my friends and family thoroughly enjoyed having him at the event. Looking into possibly scheduling him for our Christmas Party in December!

They were done in a timely manner and came out so awesome and blew our expectations out of the water. I would recommend Jeff to anyone. He is very professional and kind. He gave us updates on the progress so we were never in the dark. He is all around great to work with and I will definitely use his services again. Thanks Jeff, you rock!

He brought a smile to everyone's face who received a caricature. We received a lot of compliments on his skill and his caricatures. Overall we are extremely happy and can't wait to work with him next time.
I've had the pleasure of working with Jeff (Custom Caricatures) at three different events over the past two years and his works of art are always the center of attention. The way he is able to capture not only people's physical traits but also their personalities in each caricature that he draws is amazing. He is professional, personable, talented, and entertaining all at the same time. Custom Caricatures is definitely a MUST HAVE at every event, celebration, and party of any kind if fun memories is what you're after. Thank you Jeff for working in your strengths to bring joy and blessings to everyone you come in contact with. You will be hired for our corporate parties next year....so make sure you keep a slot open for us in Tampa :-)
Jeff showed up on time, the party goers and I was very happy with his work. Jeff made my daughter's Sweet 16 one to remember with all her friends.
Mr. Jarrett provided one-of-a kind caricatures of children during our 2014 Fall Festival. His sketches captured their personalities and the tag lines he added were on point. I highly recommend him for your parties or events!
Jeff did a great job. He showed up on time and was very entertaining.
Mr. Jeff Jarrett is a Professional. I live in Georgia. He contacted me and made the booking experience very personal. His personality with with his talent makes a blend for a perfect event. He was awesome during my wife's birthday party. Everyone left our function using his art work as their Facebook and Instagram picture. He did such a wonderful job that we are using his services for our 10 year anniversary.
This is the second year we have used Custom Caricatures for our yearly party. Jeff does a wonderful job and our customers really enjoy his caricatures. Great job and looking forward to year three!
Jeff,
Is a very talented cartoonist. My grandson and I really love his work. I have my grandson pictures drawn at every time we go to Home Depo kids workshop.
He was great with my guests. His drawings were excellent. I will definitely hire him again and recommend to others.
I was Blessed to have selected Custom Caricatures for my daughter's Baby Shower. Jeff was so wonderful. The Guest loved the take away gift {their very own self portrait} He made everyone feel So Special!!! This is definitely a
Winner! His Professionalism is First Class!!!!
I presented Jeff with the challenge of creating a memento to give as a farewell gift for a military chaplain who was moving to a new assignment. We just discussed what I wanted depicted via email/phone. Jeff delivered a masterpiece! I highly recommend him for your event!
I asked Jeff to do a caricature of my daughter and her fiance for a wedding shower gift! I have him a link to their wedding website and told him a little about them and he provided the most wonderful caricature of the happy couple. It was a big hit at the shower! Jeff does excellent work and the customization he is able to provide makes for a unique keepsake!
Recently I had to hire a caricaturist for our upcoming event with adults ranging from 40-90. In doing my search on gigsalad and other sites, I spent a few hours narrowing my search to 3 highly talented artists. I then decided to bring my wife in the process to narrow down who we choose. She pointed out to me why we had to choose Jeff. Many caricaturists point out the negative features of a person. In contrast, every sample that Jeff did captured their highlights. In addition, his caption on each drawing was positive. We hired him last night and he was perfect and everybody was not only pleased but glowing. AAA+++ Highly recommend.
Someone who takes proud in his work and ability to put smiles on people face which is a great asset in his business ...keep up the great work
We hired Jeff for customer service week and he was an amazing hit! He exhibited humor, intelligence and a quick wit. He even dressed in accordance with our theme without being asked, which was a wonderful surprise. Jeff has a fun-loving personality and was able to connect with everyone. We'll bring him back next year for sure!
Mr. Jarrett is very professional, polite, and passionate about captivating his clients personality. Mr.Jarrett gives back to his community unconditionally. His personality, professionalism and pleasant character will take Mr. Jarrett further into essence of his business. I recommend him and his business to everyone.
MUST HIRE!!!
Jeff is very professional, artistic, and responsive.
He did an awesome job! Impressed and very satisfied with his talents.
Jeff is also super nice and an absolute joy to work with.
Thanks Jeff and we'll see you around!
Jeff Jarret is personable, professional, punctual, considerate, and entertaining! With a beautiful talent and genuine heart he is able to interact with all walks of life. From executives and their wives, to the warehouse laborers, office staff, vendors and even children all were entertained and positively impacted by Jeff.
Custom Caricatures really is the perfect addition to any party. I've got them on speed dial. I will definitely book him for all future events. Jeff thank you for being a blessing and allowing God to use your talent to touch others in unexpected ways.
Jeff is gifted at capturing someones Realistic likeness.
Jeff was extremely talented and personable. His caricatures were funny and well drawn. I would highly recommend him in a heartbeat.
I worked with Jeff in Jacksonville, Fla as his administrative support during the early 90's. He was always the hit at every event. He is quick, concise, and very accurate in what he does. When it comes to professionalism, there is no one better than Jeff Jarrett.
If you want a person that shows up when requested, You want Jeff.
If you want a person who is courteous, polite, respectful and always in a good mood, then you want Jeff.
The job that Jeff did for me was very creative, and I am still receiving compliments. The only complaint I have about Jeff is that he is younger and more talented then I am. Good Luck Rick Brown
Growing up with Jeff in Alcoa, TN I've always known Jeff to be a great artist! When I asked him to come up for something for my 2nd Wedding Anniversary, he was quick on the draw (pun intended) and came up with a caricature of my husband and I. He loved it as well as all my friends and family that saw it. Jeff did a caricature of my boss who enjoys golf, my coworkers and myself chipped in and gave it to our boss for boss' day! He can do it, it doesn't matter what it is, Jeff is the guy for your next caricature job! (nope I wasn't paid for this review) LOL
All I can say is "WOW!" Jeff provided services for the 7th birthday party of my twin boys. I did wanted to give away something other than candy and little trinkets. I am so glad I did! Jeff was very professional from our initial contact to the end of the party and besides that HIS WORK IS FABULOUS! I got more than I could have ever imagined. After the first child finished with their sitting, they must have told the others because I was continuously being asked by the children when was their turn. The parents were also impressed and thought this was a unique idea. I will be definitely using Jeff again and would recommend for your upcoming event!
