    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. 1

    Choose paper or digital

    Paper feels traditional and personal. Digital suits branding, printing and instant sharing.

  2. 2

    Give them good light

    A well-lit corner with a table and two chairs keeps the drawings flowing.

  3. 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 St Albans?

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.

Which venues near St Albans can hold a large Asian wedding?

On our list, Hunton Park Hotel (up to 500 guests), North Mymms Park (up to 400 guests), The Grove (up to 400 guests) and Luton Hoo (up to 400 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan caricature artists around the space.

Do venues around St Albans have sound limits for dhol or music?

Some do. North Mymms Park: Strict sound limits: no dhol after 10:30pm, enforced by venue staff on the night. Our dhol teams play here often and plan entrances around it. Tell us your venue and we will check its rules before we confirm.

Which postcodes around St Albans do you cover?

All of AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4 and AL5, including Harpenden, St. Albans, Redbourn, Markyate, Dacorum and Wheathampstead, plus the rest of Hertfordshire and nearby Hatfield, Hemel Hempstead, Borehamwood and Welwyn Garden City.

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 St Albans and the rest of Hertfordshire?

Yes. We book caricature artists in St Albans, across Hertfordshire and the whole of East of England, for venues, homes and outdoor events.
