Thank you Jeeven and Party Central for organising the dholis
I have been in touch with Jeeven, who organises events for Party Central, and he has been a great help. His customer service is excellent. He was very patient and helpful in finding the package best suited to my requirements, even though there were a few changes to timings and dates. Jeeven is a very friendly guy, easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. So thank you, Jeeven, for organising the dholis for me.

Party Central event planning experience
Sanj from Party Central has been absolutely brilliant in helping us find the right DJ package for our event and venue. From the very beginning, he has been so friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful. He has given us lots of great advice, not only about the DJ package but also about the venue, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Sanj and Party Central.

What does a caricaturist do at an event?
A caricaturist draws quick, playful portraits of guests, exaggerating features in a fun and flattering way. Each drawing takes a few minutes, and there is usually a small crowd watching, which makes it entertaining for everyone, not just the sitter.
Traditional caricaturists draw on paper with pens and markers. Digital caricaturists draw on a tablet, and the finished picture can be printed on site or sent to guests to share, often with your logo or event branding added.
Where it works best
Weddings
A keepsake for every guest.
Corporate parties
A personal take-home for the team.
Trade shows
A queue at your stand with your logo on every drawing.
Brand activations
Digital caricatures shared straight to social.
Parisian themes
A Montmartre street artist feel.
Birthdays
A fun memento of the party.
Tips from our team
- 1
Choose paper or digital
Paper feels traditional and personal. Digital suits branding, printing and instant sharing.
- 2
Give them good light
A well-lit corner with a table and two chairs keeps the drawings flowing.
- 3
Set expectations on numbers
Each drawing takes a few minutes, so not every guest may be drawn at a large event. We advise on how many artists you need.
Frequently asked questions
How much do caricature artists cost in York?
Every booking is quoted individually, because the price of caricature artists depends on availability, your date, location and travel, how long you need them and your exact requirements. Send us your date and venue and we will come back with clear options. Quotes are free with no obligation.
How many guests can a caricaturist draw?
It depends on the style and the time booked. Tell us your numbers and we will advise on one artist or more.
Can digital caricatures include our logo?
Yes. Digital drawings can carry your logo, event name or a branded frame.
What does the caricaturist need on site?
A table, two chairs and good light. Digital artists may also need power for a printer.
Do venues around York have sound limits for dhol or music?
Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.
Which postcodes around York do you cover?
All of YO1, YO10, YO19, YO23, YO24, YO26, YO30, YO31, YO32 and YO90, including Upper Poppleton, Nether Poppleton, Tockwith, Green Hammerton, Huntington and Haxby, plus the rest of North Yorkshire and nearby Tadcaster, Sheriff Hutton, Easingwold and Pocklington.
What time will the caricature artists arrive, and how will they look?
They arrive smartly dressed and on time, usually 30 to 45 minutes before the performance, so they are ready the moment you need them. We share arrival times and a contact number with you before the day.
Are your caricature artists vetted and insured?
Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.
How far in advance should I book caricature artists?
For weddings and summer weekends, book as early as you can, ideally several months ahead, as the best dates go first. We can often help at short notice too, so it is always worth asking.
Do you cover York and the rest of North Yorkshire?
Yes. We book caricature artists in York, across North Yorkshire and the whole of Yorkshire, for venues, homes and outdoor events.
