Caricaturists
Edd Travers Full Description
All caricaturists are different....and good ones are rare! Don't just hire any artist! I am renowned as one of Scotland's most sought after live wedding caricaturists, with a speedy, confident, clean style and ability to capture incredible likenesses. Combine this with a natural artistic ability and friendly, professional manner - and you have a truly unique entertainment choice that will keep your guests talking and the 'buzz' going long after the day! I can draw on average 10 -12 faces per hour (or one face every 4-5 minutes) which allows me to draw a sizeable percentage of guests whilst never sacrificing the great quality for which I am known. My strong; clean, cartoony style of caricaturing individuals, ensure that every drawing is unique and tailored to 'nail the likeness' of the guests in an original and humourous way! If you compare my live caricatures with other caricaturists out there you'll see that I do not produce tame, dull, boring drawings - which all look the same - and nothing like the people they're supposed to be! After all, do you want your guests to go home with a drawing that they will shove in a drawer, or a keepsake that they’ll proudly hang as a treasured memento? I am told regularly from sitters that they intend to frame my work when they get home! And trust me, no one will forget where they got their caricature from....i.e. YOUR WEDDING! Live caricature (done well!) at a wedding certainly makes for a good topic of conversation and gets the 'banter' and laughs going among your guests! It's a great 'ice-breaker' at any wedding. Expect your guests to be fascinated, captivated and amused as each drawing unfolds. It really is a great, fun spectator event....big laughs guaranteed! As well as providing fantastic entertainment and memento's for your guests, I can also provide personalised caricature artwork to use on your wedding invitation / thank you cards, guest signing boards and much more. Full details and prices on my website.

What a talent this man has! Myself and my new wife hired Edd to entertain our guests at our wedding on Friday 18th of May. They were all blown away by the results and could not stop raving about him! He was totally queued out as everytime someone had been drawn and showed it to someone else they were all rushing to get theirs! Absolutely amazing!

Hired Edd for our wedding last year and it was the best money we spent. Guests loved it, I’ve seen some of the caricatures framed since then! I wish I’d got one with my husband but too many photos needing taken!!

"Hi Edd, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for attending our wedding, you blew us all away with your drawing skills and made our wedding a little bit more special than others we have been to. Everyone was so complimentary about your work and you as a person, and we couldn't be more happy. So thank you again, we will definitely be recommending you to anyone with weddings or functions coming up in the future. Many thanks."

"Hi Edd. My daughter's wedding was fantastic day and you played a great part in it. If I am honest we hired you to provide a little extra to keep the guests amused but in truth, apart from the bride of course, you became the focal point of the reception! There always seemed to be happy queue of guests waiting to get drawn and most have already posted photographs of themselves proudly showing off their caricatures. Without hesitation I, as would all the guests I spoke to, highly recommend you to others. Many thanks."

"Edd, thank you very much for joining my girlie 40th birthday doo at my home. Having booked you as a surprise to everyone it was fun seeing everyone try to figure out what you were about to do when you arrived! If anyone is looking for something a bit different and for a bit of fun, this is it! Edd is a lovely guy who made everyone feel relaxed and really made my event.The giggles coming from my house could be heard for miles, lol! Months later, everyone still talks about him and his amazing likeness caricatures. Most girls have them framed and up on their walls! I HIGHLY recommend Edd and have done so to loads of people who have/will be going on to book him. You will not regret having Edd at your event, in fact, you will regret NOT having him there!"

"Edd attended out wedding in November 2016 and first I would like to thank Edd for coming - your work is amazing and everyone really loved receiving their drawings, including us! Your artwork was top standard and everyone agreed it was great fun not just to be drawn, but to watch you at work! Our guests loved the experience and many said they'd be framing their caricatures once they got home. We received so many positive comments about you after the wedding, so we've passed your contact details along to friends and family! Thank you once again for your creative ways and for adding that to our special day!"

“We really wanted to have a different kind of entertainment at our wedding and booked Edd as an alternative to the usual photo booths etc and we are delighted that we did! Edd is very friendly and has a laugh with the guests as he draws them. The pictures themselves were fantastic! Everyone was totally recognisable, and very funny also. We saw so many photos of our guests with their pictures on their Facebook pages the next day and I’m sure we will see many more on the walls of our friends’ houses – ours will certainly be framed and going on our wall! My wife and I are so pleased we booked Edd, he brought something different to our day and lots of laughs. We would not hesitate in recommending his work and we are absolutely certain that you would not be disappointed. Thanks again Edd and hope to see you again!”

"Edd where do I start ..... simply amazing! "
"Edd where do I start ..... simply amazing! You had everyone smiling, laughing and most of all enjoying the night at our wedding reception. I can't express how delighted I was with your work and how you entertained our guests. I am sure people will be talking about it forever. You captured all the guests perfectly with style and class. With everything that went wrong with other things early on in the day for us .....your service certainly made up for it . Thank you soooooo much again! X"

"You made our event truly magical"
"Dear Edd, What can we say, but you made our event truly magical. We couldn’t have wished for a better outcome. Our whole party are still talking and laughing at the fun they had watching you create amazing caricatures, so professionally and with such skill rarely seen. Literally seeing is believing as if you had told any of us that you would be able to produce such high quality work in the time you had, not to mention the lighting challenges, we would have found it difficult to believe. Thank you too for being so professional from the moment we made contact, to arriving on time and to being so gentle with one of our party who was very nervous, but, who you put at ease in seconds. We wouldn’t think twice about inviting you along again and really couldn’t recommend your services enough. May we take this opportunity to wish you all the best for the festive season and wish you every success for the future. Kindest regards Anita"

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My own, when I got married to my wife way back in 2003! Definitely one of the best days of my life. That's why it's so important to plan things in advance and book the right people to come and help you make your day extra special.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Stylish, fast, funny, friendly, memorable

What about your business are you most proud of?

I genuinely love what I do for a living and look forward to each and every event I get hired for. For me, drawing is a lifelong passion which is in my blood. Getting paid to draw funny faces all day is the best job in the world and I never get bored of it! I've always been fascinated by faces and the quirky individual differences that make us all unique as human beings. It's striving to capture this individual 'uniqueness' with every drawing that keeps things fascinating and entertaining for both the audience and me. It's almost like we're on a journey together as each drawing unfolds until the 'moment of truth' is revealed and the sitter gets to see their caricature for the first time! The priceless looks on the faces of the guests....the laughter and banter that follows...the good vibes all go to create a magical, positive, happy, energy buzz that is truly special! This experience is memorable for guests at your event and the 'buzz' remains long after the party has ended! And I get an enormous amount of pleasure and job satisfaction from that!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Punctuality. Please try your best to be on time on the big day! I've been to so many weddings where unfortunately the Bride has turned up an hour late or so, which can cause chaos and forces your wedding suppliers to rush around like mad trying to do as much as they can within a limited space of time. In the busy, summer wedding season months, it's not unusual for me to be booked for 2 weddings in one day - so please note, I may not be able to extend my afternoon time for you because you were late if I have to go off and draw at another wedding reception across town that evening!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

A couple will usually contact me via email or phone call after viewing my artwork and prices displayed online on my website. If I am available for hire on the Wedding date, I will ask for some details and also a small up front deposit from the couple to secure the date. The remaining balance is usually paid within a week or 2 in advance of the wedding. I accept cheques or BACS payments (bank transfers). On the day, I will arrive at the venue, smartly dressed, slightly earlier than my booking time to set up my easel and gear etc, so I am ready to start drawing at precisely the requested time and I will endeavour to draw as many people as I possibly can within my booking time.

What is your No. 1 top tip for keeping a crowd entertained?

Hire me to come and caricature your guests!

Where is the most memorable place you have performed?

Skibo Castle near Inverness (where Madonna got married to Guy Ritchie) a few years ago. A truly stunning venue surrounded by majestic scenery.

Have you had any interesting surprises at a wedding?

No, it's usually me who is the 'surprise' for the guests!

What is your party trick?

Drawing amazing, hilarious caricatures of your wedding guests!
