Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 12, 2016•From Carlsbad, CA

Diane did a great job! She was set up and ready for guests prior to start time, creatively accommodated our request to include our "transportation" theme in her pictures and made sure everyone's name was on their drawing which really helps when you have a large party as we did. I definitely would recommend hiring Diane as your "event" caricature artist.

School Assembly•Reviewed on November 12, 2016•From Murrieta, CA

Diane came to our school for our Red Ribbon Week. We had asked the students to write and draw a picture about what they wanted to be when they grow-up and how drugs could ruin their dreams. Each classroom had one winner chosen and those winners received a caricature of themselves as what they wanted to be when they grow-up. Diane was early which is always a huge bonus. Setup took about 10 minutes. She drew for over 3 hours and was amazing. She was extremely patient and kind with all the children. Her drawing are extremely well done with a bit of humor. I am extremely happy with our experience. I highly recommend Diane. :)

Diane was a pleasure to work with! Was early to the event and came prepared! She made lots of people happy with her hilarious and skillful Carcaiture drawings, everyone was blown away by how she captured their likeness and spirit! Cannot wait to work with Diane again!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 6, 2016•From San Diego, CA

Diane was such a pleasure to work for! She drew 30 employees on a giant poster board for us and the finished product turned out awesome. She stood for over 4 hrs and never complained although I am sure her hand must have been hurting! I would recommend Diane to anyone looking for an incredibly efficient and talented artist.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 21, 2017•From Marina del Rey, CA

Diane was awesome at my wedding. She was really kind and nice to all my guests. Before the event started, she emailed my coordinator to confirm the time and location. She is very organized. I would definitely book her again for future events.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 1, 2017•From San Marcos, CA

I hired Diane for my mom's 50th surprise birthday party. She was busy the entire time and was a huge hit! Her service was a great addition to our party and everyone loved her work. I hired her for 3 hours and asked if she would stay for an extra hour because she hadn't gotten to all the guests to which she agreed. I would definitely recommend Diane for any party or event, big or small!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 4, 2017•From Oceanside, CA

Diane was a great addition to my sons' joint birthday/going away party! The kids loved having the drawings to take home! She did a great job considering I put 20+ kids aged 4 and under in front of her! She was very accommodating and stayed a few minutes late to make sure everyone got a picture done! Very sweet and was a joy to have at the party!

First Communion•Reviewed on June 27, 2018•From San Diego, CA

Very nice and pleasant just wished she was dressed nicer for a formal attire party. Nice drawings

I dressed as WE ARTISTS always dress but with a fancy sparkly top in the colors of your event as opposed to just the standard all black. Unfortunately, I had to put on a black sweater so I didn't freeze to death! Nowadays, none of the vendors wear "formal" dresses no matter what the event. We just can't afford a new outfit for each gig. I think I looked nice. Sometimes clients assume that their event is the gala of the century, I don't blame them for that because in their eyes it is. Brittany was a very pleasant person and I enjoyed drawing for her despite being put out on the cold and windy patio.

Wedding•Reviewed on March 18, 2018•From Murrieta, CA

Was not happy with this vendor. Did not appreciate her putting a tip jar for my guest. I also added an automatic tip. I was forced to extend time since her stated time to draw was much longer. Samples provided did not reflect work of the day. If you are having a formal event, I would pass on booking this vendor.

Some people you just CAN'T PLEASE! The reason that I had to extend was because of the down times. When there were people to draw I drew at my normal fast speed. But she had my start time during the ceremony! Also, I was forced to move into a cramp corner mid-way through the event. Then I had to move a 3rd time to awkwardly draw the couple from their table because they wouldn't come down to where I was set up. I was given the impression that I wasn't to BOTHER them but just draw them in the dim lighting and chaotic positioning. That all takes TIME! Regarding tips, people were tipping, they LOVED their caricatures! I don't recall putting out ANY tip jar, I rarely do.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 30, 2019•From Pine Valley, CA

Diane was amazing, she was so wonderful to work with before I even met her. Her style is so fun, and she really captured the spirit of so many of our guests. It was a delight to many to have a character drawn of them as a wedding favor - highly recommended! Diane even was accommodating enough to stay an extra hour after her originally booking time. She was fabulous, her drawing style is top notch, and she is a very sweet, kind, and fun person! Thank you!!!

THANK YOU RACHEL!! Your wedding epitomized the word FUN! I loved the cabin setting and all the retro 40's cabin nick-nacks all over the place. Had I more time, I'd have loved to explore and just take it all in. If you could see my den at home you'd understand! Thank you for your kind words! I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED being your artist!! Very sincerely, Diane

I'm so glad I booked Charicatures by Diane for my wedding! She provided caricatures for guests at my wedding on May 19th and was so flexible to our needs and professional while still maintaining an atmosphere of fun! My guests all LOVED her artwork and getting to take it home!!! She really captured each person's uniqueness and personality. I would definitely book her for an event again!!!!!

THANK YOU Alleia!! That was so kind of you to GO OUT OF YOUR WAY to arrange for a review because of the date change! It was my pleasure to be your artist! Thank you for your kind words. I do my best to be the best artist I can be. YOU made that easy for me because you were such a gracious host! Thank you for choosing me!! So very happy to have been your artist, Diane

Grand Opening•Reviewed on August 6, 2018•From San Marcos, CA

Diane was so kind and agreed to come to our event very last minute! Her drawings were wonderful and she was FAST! Everyone loved her and were satisfied with their drawing. I will definitely be hiring Diane in any upcoming events!

Thank you Winter! It was a wonderfully fun event to draw at! Drawing animals, dogs in particular, is a delightful challenge. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see many, many PetCoach stores opening up across the country. Loved drawing Penny the pig too! never a dull moment! As a client, I give you a 5!

Diane was thorough and professional. We made contact and confirmed and she showed up early so she was completely prepared. She was great with kids and adults alike. My guests had so much fun with this added treat at our function!

It was honestly an absolute DELIGHT to be your artist!! Thank you for the great review.
