"We are so glad we booked Barrie! Our guests loved getting their caricatures done. It was so lovely seeing everyone laughing at each other's pictures and it's great that they have something they can keep. So much better than the bog-standard photo booths etc. you normally see at weddings!"

Its always nice to get a review from a bride especially when its a good one! Kim and James where married at The Willows At the Woodsman a new wedding venue just a stones throw away from my studio in Whickham.
The Willows at the Woodmans is a charming venue where I've had the pleasure of working several times. Tucked amid trees, it offers stunning views of Newcastle city center. This exclusive-use wedding venue beautifully combines rustic elements with touches of sheer elegance and luxury. I frequently stroll by this place with my beloved dog, Dinki, reveling in the breathtaking vistas of the cornfields and Team Valley.
I provided entertainment during the post-meal lull, a time when guests can sometimes feel a bit restless. It's the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with unforgettable caricature entertainment at the willows at the woodsman. I had a wonderful time sketching portraits of all the wedding guests present. Here are a few caricatures that truly stood out amidst the many I drew

🎨Live Wedding Entertainment at The Willows
On this occasion, I was booked as a wedding caricaturist in Newcastle to provide entertainment during the post-meal lull, a part of the day where guests can sometimes lose a bit of momentum.
This is exactly where live caricature entertainment works best.
I moved around the room drawing quick, fun caricatures of guests, helping to keep the energy up, get people laughing, and bring everyone back together. It’s always great to see guests watching each other’s drawings unfold, and the reactions are often just as entertaining as the caricatures themselves.
The Willows is a brilliant space for this kind of mix-and-mingle wedding entertainment, keeping guests engaged while creating personalised keepsakes they can take home.
