Communion party entertainment

Rick Welch was fantastic at my daughter’s First Communion. He was personable and made all of our guests feel comfortable while they waited for their caricatures. He was professional, accommodating, and easy to work with throughout the event. Everyone loved their drawings, and it added such a fun and memorable touch to the day. I would definitely recommend him and would gladly use him again for a future event.

Wonderful Caricatures!

Rick was a pleasure to work with! Not only was he very professional and kind to work with, he put his subjects at ease and created such fun caricatures for our guests to take home as a souvenir. Thank you Rick!

Adult Birthday Party

Rick was a great addition to a surprise birthday party I hosted for my partner. He had a good energy and engaged with attendees while capturing their images. I chose to have color caricatures but in hindsight I wish I left the option open for guests to pick their preference. There was one child who wanted to get his drawing done an we were running low on time. Rick saw the child was sad and graciously offered to do a drawing before leaving. I appreciated that and would hire Rick again.

The absolute highlight of our wedding!

If you want your wedding to be legendary, hire these two. I cannot say enough about how awesome they were! Beyond being incredible artists, they brought such a fantastic energy to the room. They are truly one of a kind and made our guests feel so special. Their talent is unmatched, and their personalities are even better. If you’re looking for the best in the business, you found them!
