Caricatures by Tony Marriott ∙ Tony’s Toons
Having a caricature artist along, brings a unique and fun experience to your wedding day
Starting back in 2009, Tony's been a full-time, caricature artist who's entertained at many weddings, celebration parties and corporate events around the country. He has also been commissioned to create hand-drawn and framed caricatures (from photos), which have been posted directly to the customer's door.
Live Drawing on the Wedding Day
The Set-up
Tony brings with him an easel, art trolley, light stand and chairs with a 'queue here' sign for the fun-loving folks who want to have a caricature created.
The Drawing begins!
A fabulous way of grabbing all your guests' attention with some fun and laughter as they begin the celebrations! Each person takes approximately five minutes to be drawn. Guests never forget that moment when you see themselves in stretchy-face caricature form, capturing them with a comical expression! A true, crowd-pleasing spectacle as caricatures emerge and get sillier by the second, erupting in a wave of giggles and screams from the crowd gathered around, with even more laughter from the subjects, as the big reveal is made when the paper is turned. Tony can draw up to four hours, so giving your guests a good chance of having one drawn.
Bespoke Paper Commemorating the Wedding
Letting Tony add your wedding day title and date to the paper, makes this an extra personal way for your guests to remember your day. A true, fun and unique memento.
Photos of Guests
As part of the live service, photos are taken of the subjects holding their caricatures, then emailed after the wedding day. This way, the newly-weds will get to see all the caricatures drawn that they may have missed on the day.
Caricatures Drawn Before the Big Day
As well as the entertainment package, you can also have a caricature created beforehand! Tony, offers a range of more detailed range caricatures that can also include surrounding scenes, plus in colour too if required. Newly-Wed Keepsakes, Guestboards, Favours, Thank You Gifts, are all offered as extras, but you can also take advantage of the 'Package deal' offered, when booking the entertainment service.
Newly-Wed Keepsakes
Have a fun illustration created to celebrate your big day and hang on your wall to treasure forever. Let Tony rekindle the fond memory of where you first met, your favourite place in the world, or why not include your pet too?!
Guestboards
Instead of the usual guest book, why not choose a fun, personalised guest board for your guests to sign? Just provide a few photos of yourselves, plus a description of what you'll be wearing on the day and you'll receive a fun, bespoke illustration on display for your guests to marvel at.
Favours
On your big day, imagine what it would be like to hear the roar of hysterical laughter as your guests enter the room and see what's on the table in front of them! Well, these mini-caricatures will certainly do that! Treat your guests to these little gems which make a unique and fun, personalised memento for your guests. You can even have a single, bespoke message printed on the bottom of each illustration too, reminding them of the magical day that they came from.
Thank You Gifts
Instead of the usual jewellery or hip-flasks, why not be different and present a truly personalised and fun gift to make them laugh out loud! Everyone knows the traditional content of a best man's speech, so why not present his 'embarrassing past' in framed caricature form, in all its glory! Email a few photos, plus a little info on the subject and it will be done. Caricatures also make superb gifts for the ushers, bridesmaids, pageboys, mums and dads and of course... even the groom and bride too, as a wedding gift for them!
