Cocktail Party•Reviewed on March 22, 2013•From New York City, NY
FANTASTIC! We could not have asked for a better caricaturist. Dan is absolutely fabulous! He had our entire party captivated and laughing at how fun yet realistic the caricatures were! The party went two hours overtime and Dan so graciously--and happily--stayed until each person who wanted one had their caricature. (We of course will compensate him for his additional time.)
Dan was wonderful. He is so professional, trustworthy, kind, and so talented. We look forward to booking him again. You really couldn't ask for a better caricaturist. He is an artist!
Wedding•Reviewed on August 13, 2012•From New York City, NY
We booked Dan for a wedding, and OMG, amazing!!! I had friends and family come up to me raving about how awesome it was to have their pictures drawn. His work was artistic and captured everyone's features. Dan also prepared a custom work of art of us (the Bride and Groom) and brought it to the wedding to display, and I couldn't believe how much it looked like us. We only gave him photos to work with since the wedding day was the FIRST day we met Dan! We were in awe. I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone and for any event. You won't regret it. Thanks Dan, for everything!!!!

Sweet 16 Party•Reviewed on January 22, 2013•From Baldwin, NY
Dan, well he is just simply amazing!!
On January 12, 2013, we had a Sweet 16 party at the Coral House. Dan arrived promptly at our party, and set up a very small table in the room provided by the caterer and the party began.
When he finished his first drawing, I knew I hired the right person. His talent is extraordinary. Everyone in the room asked me where I found him because they never seen drawings as wonderful as his. My guests truly loved him.
To describe Dan he is very witty, funny, charming and professional all rolled into one package oh and did I mention talented!! The very best at that!
Loved this guy, and highly recommend him!

Hired Dan for a major Sephora event, Fashion's Night Out in NYC, and he was amazing! Amazing, beautiful, high-end portraits! Dan is super talented, friendly and extremely accommodating. We had a line out the door for sketches. We will definitely hire Dan again and would recommend him to anyone!
Family Reunion•Reviewed on April 3, 2011•From Saddle River, NJ
I thought Dan was fantastic. His drawings are amazing and a number of people at the party have already posted their pictures on facebook! His illustrations are some of the best caricatures I've ever seen and he's really fast. He seemed to be the big draw at the party, even though we had a lot of other stuff going on. No one wanted to leave without one of his pictures. (including me!) I would totally hire Dan again and can't say enough good things about him.
Private Party•Reviewed on May 1, 2011•From Amityville, NY
I hired Dan for a small communion party and from the very start of the booking process he was very professional and reliable, always getting back to me. He answered all my questions. He came to the event a few minutes early and ready to accomodate. He is a kind person, who was a wonderful fit for my intimate event. He has a calming influence on the children and his work was superb. I would definitely recommend him!

I orginally book him for 1 1/2 hours, then I change to 3 hours and at the end it was more than 5 hours, it shows how great he was and all my guests were so happy.

Baby Shower•Reviewed on August 22, 2011•From Weehawken, NJ
Our family was very impressed with artist Dan Almariei. He was not only an amazing talent, but brought laughs and spirit to the party that went beyond our expectations. He showed skill and patience with all age groups and we plan on booking him at the next family gathering. I would openly recommend him for any occasion and be prepared for souring talent and an all around good character. 5 STARS!!
