Castletroy Park Hotel Wedding: during the summer I travelled to Limerick for a very sunny wedding in the Castletroy Park Hotel and oh boy what a day! Everyone there had such a great laugh with me, it made the day seem even sunnier! I got to draw the couple of the day too and they were absolutely delighted with the result, and of course being the VIPs of the day they were surrounded by their guests watching the drawing craic happen in real time! Big thanks to the Castletroy Park Hotel wedding coordinator who could not have been more helpful to me on the day.

Live Wedding Caricatures: How It Works

When I'm booked for a wedding I check in with the couple a few weeks ahead of the date to confirm start time and any other details that need taking care of. On the day I arrive around an hour ahead of the start time and set up with my easel, display stand and lights, and three chairs. 99% of my sitters come in pairs so I make sure there's enough seats, although I do draw one person from time to time! I also occasionally draw 3 people (often the bridesmaids like to get drawn together!) Once the guests arrive I'm all ready to go, and I'll either get an enthusiastic "Oh my god a caricature artist!" followed by a hasty sit-down from my first subjects (this is usually what happens!). If on the rare event of not getting sitters straight awat I'll go around and introduce myself and once people see what I'm up to I am drawing straight through for the next 2 hours! I really love my job and I try to bring that with me through the drawing process, I'll chat and joke with the guests while I'm drawing them and I get great reactions!

Reviews for Allan Cavanagh's Live Wedding Caricatures

Here's a sample review from a recent wedding that I feel really captures what I bring to a wedding drinks reception. You can see more reviews at the link at the bottom of this post. We booked Allan for our wedding reception on the 15th November. Allan was amazing, easy to speak to and so funny. Our guests are still raving about him and loved having a keepsake from the wedding. Thank you so much Allan for the incredible drawings and entertaining the guests! I would highly recommend Allan to future couples.
