Marty was the very first vendor I hired back in 2020 for my wedding on 3/3/23. I knew I wanted a live artist, and Marty’s caricatures seemed so interactive, different, and fun. He arrived early to set up, then got right to drawing. All of my guests were so excited to get their picture drawn, and they couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Definitely a big hit! He even took a photo of my husband and I at the beginning of the night so he could draw us without taking time away from our wedding to have to sit to be drawn. What a nice guy! Highly recommend!

Thank you Deanna, wow I can't believe that was booked in 2020. I'm glad you like the pictures I did of you two and the two boys, everyone was fine when I switched to b&w for everyone else. Also thanks for uploading those two pictures. every now and then I take pictures of my setup to show people, now I have one with me in it!

Marty was a hit!!!!
Marty was a hit at our wedding on 10/15/22. His work was so awesome and brought something special to our wedding. We really enjoyed how kind Marty is and how well he works with people. Everyone felt so comfortable with him. The amount of compliments we got was heart warming. I totally recommend Marty if you want something more old school and fun like we did. We didn't want a photo booth because we love different.
Caricatures By Marty's reply:
Thank you so much and thanks for having me draw at your wedding. The guests were great, I'm glad you like your picture. It was funny when the I asked those last two girls if they liked Halloween and their reaction when they saw the picture.

Fantastic work
Marty was the best Choice not only did we adore him but so did everyone at the wedding everyone loved how unique it was compared to a classic photobooth and also how sweet and wonderful Marty himself was we could not have asked for a better experience
Caricatures By Marty's reply:
Hi Michele,
Sorry I didn't reply to you earlier, I've been doing parties and weddings like crazy lately. It was fun drawing everyone at the wedding, some unique fun people! I remember thinking that the plastic bags I put the pictures in really were important, when I left the sky was full of lightning and the rain was pouring down.
Are you interested?

Love it!
Found Marty through a Facebook bridal group and I am so thankful that we were able to book him and his other artist colleague for our wedding. We had about 150 guests so I asked Marty if he knew another caricature artist who could also come. Marty and Devan were super professional and on time. Our guests LOVED that unique touch especially since we had ALOT of older (and young) guests who didn’t like to dance. We also had a photobooth (that ended up not working midway so almost all guests gravitated towards the caricatures.) There was no line since my guests were respectful about not crowding the area but there was always someone sitting and getting their drawings done. They were also flexible when I had to change the time a week prior. Marty stopped by our bridal suite before the reception to take a picture of us so that he could do a colored drawing of us. It is now hanging in our living room. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Caricatures By Marty's reply:
Hi Jen,
Yes, we both had fun drawing at your wedding! It was interesting how with many of the older couples the men would bow before sitting, and me, already sitting with my drawing board in my lap, could only nod my head. Sorry to hear about the photobooth, but I'm glad we were there to take up the slack.
Thanks again,
Marty

Amazing Addition to our wedding!
Marty was incredible at our wedding. When thinking about entertainment for our guests, I wanted something different. Usually a wedding will have a photo booth, but I thought having a professional caricature artist would be unique, and he did not disappoint. All of my guests (and ourselves) were so impressed! Such an amazing addition, thank you so much Marty!
Caricatures By Marty's reply:
Thank you Devan! I'm glad you ended up getting the picture I did of the two of you. Before I left I saw you on the dance floor, as I worked my way in to give you your picture you ran out the other side and up the staircase like Cinderella. So I gave it to a couple and hoped you would get it. :o)

Such a fun addition to your wedding Marty is one of a kind!
Such a wonderful addition to our wedding! We originally wanted to have some sort of entertainment for some of our older guests who do not drink and a caricature artist was a great idea I saw online. In terms of scheduling, he is prompt and very responsive very easy to work with! Marty was a hit with everyone he started during cocktail hour and moved into the main ball room for the reception. His work is phenomenal and he was able to get through almost all of our guests and even made sure to make one for me and my husband in color! A wonderful memory/keepsake to bring home for your guests. We had so many positive comments on Marty from our guests we would very very highly recommend his services!

Hi Kelli,
Thank you for such a wonderful review, I remember some of your guests right from the beginning of the cocktail hour that were fun to draw and started the ball rolling from there.
Hope all is well,

Marty was so amazing. Due to the pandemic and we had to postpone our wedding 3 times and Marty was so understanding and willing to accommodate our needs. All of our guests raved about him. Not 1 complaint from our guests. My only regret was not hiring him for the entire night The pictures came out great. Great choice for souvenir for the guests.
Caricatures By Marty's reply:
Hi Natalie,
That was a fun wedding! A funny thing happened to me when I was finished (it was a weeknight and I had to get up early for work the next day) but the party was still going on for another hour. I had all my stuff packed up at midnight and was waiting for the event planner to pay me, only I had been drawing off the dance floor so as I'm standing there waiting a girl comes through the dance floor grabs my hands and pulls me out into the middle of it, thinking I was looking to dance with someone I guess. She's telling me "shake that thing" and stuff like that (I'm not much of a dancer) finally after a minute or two I spotted the event planner and escaped to her. :0)
Thanks for the review,
Marty

A total hit!
Marty was super easy to work with. We unfortunately were covid wedding postponementers, we had to move dates 3 times. Marty was more the willing to continue to work with us, communicating quickly and was easy to schedule.
Our guests absolutely loved Marty! Aside from the drawings, he was fun and made sure our guests were enjoying themselves. The drawings are so good, it was a huge hit! I could not recommend Marty enough!
Caricatures By Marty's reply:
Hi Kelly, it took some time, but that fourth date was meant to be! I’m glad you liked my little additional dates crossed out in the lower left corner of your picture. Thanks for adding the picture of those drawings. That was a fun wedding, best wishes.

An amazing and unique addition to our day!
From the very first email Marty was a pleasure to work with, he always responded so quickly and was very helpful and informative. He was even more wonderful day of our wedding, he was engaging with our guests and gave them beautiful one of a kind pieces of artwork to bring home. He made sure to take the time to find my husband and I to take our photo quickly so we would not have to sit with him and could enjoy every minute of our night. If you’re thinking about booking Marty for your event, DO IT!

Excellent Cartoonist !!
Marty was a huge hit at our daughters wedding, especially in a time where not everyone might want to Dance due to the Pandemic. Everyone gets to take a Cartoon like picture of themselves, & their families home. So it becomes a token, or a great reminder of the time they spent at the Wedding. Everyone at the Wedding Loved It !!

Best Caricaturist!
Marty was a pleasure to work with! I contacted him about two weeks before my wedding looking for an alternative for guests since dancing wasn’t allowed. He got back to me within hours and his prices were very reasonable! The day of our wedding he was there early and our guests LOVED it! I can’t recommend Marty enough. He took our picture early on in the night and gave us our portrait at the end, we love it and our guests are still talking about it!
Caricatures By Marty's reply:
Hi Janet, that was another fun night for me. I was busy from the time the cocktail hour started, one of your guests helped me move some chairs into the reception room and continued through the night. Drawing the caricatures in color was also fun, I don't get to do that much.

Marty was phenomenal!! After having to postpone our Big wedding we were looking for some thing turned retain our guests with. I found him through a wedding group that I’m a part of and everyone had nothing but good things to say about him. When I emailed him to ask him about his availability he got back to me within an hour and every email after that was answered in a timely fashion. He was very personable his work is amazing and everyone at my wedding loved him. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. If anybody was wondering if you should do this for your wedding or any kind of party I highly recommend it!

Hi Tammy, your wedding was the last one I did this year and it was one of the bright spots in a rather dismal holiday season! I think I drew all of your guests that afternoon. I still remember some of them for the unique backgrounds I gave them and their conversations.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Marty is the best! Book him for your event!
We booked Marty for our wedding and it was such a hit. Almost all of our guests got drawn and everyone came back to their tables laughing and showing their portraits to everyone. Communication with Marty was so easy. He was quick to respond and handled everything he needed to with the venue. Upon request, he was also able to bring a second artist, Devin, with him. Such a great alternative to a photobooth. 5 stars, would 100% recommend Marty!

Hi Lisa,
I just realized I never replied to you. It's New Year's Day 2021 today and thinking back your wedding was right before this global pandemic hit, what luck! It was one of the last events I did before the wave of cancellations and postponements that followed.
