Best Vendor Ever!

Melissa did sketches at our wedding for all of our guests, and it was such a hit. Couples, kids, everyone loved it. She works so hard, even when she was offered breaks she just kept drawing! Thank you so much, we can’t wait to work with her again.

Absolutely Fabulous!!!!

Melissa was amazing. I assumed that only the children at my party would be interested in getting their caricature done, boy was I wrong! Melissa was so good that even the adults were standing in line. She was professional, courteous and arrived on time. I would highly recommend her for any party. She made my event memorable!!!! Thank you Melissa! !!!

Caricaturist at Morris House Hotel wedding

We had the pleasure of having HooyArt do our wedding guests' caricatures during cocktail hour, and they loved them so much! We wish we had hired her for more than an hour though. We highly recommend her work and can't thank her enough!

Absolutely Perfect

The artist arrived promptly and created the most amazing caricatures! Everyone raved about her work, both the adults and children. She even drew my family onto one sheet and provided color for the parents of the birthday girl. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would Highly recommend HooyArt!
Thanks again for everything. You are amazing!!

100% satisfied

This was such a great idea for a birthday party. Not only did the kids want their drawings but many adults too. The drawings came out so good and extra attention was given to the birthday boy! This was a hit and I'm so happy I went with HooyArt! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!
