We booked Rich for our wedding reception back in August 2023. He brought something completely different and unique to our day, which was enjoyed hugely by all of our guests, with the absolutely brilliant caricatures! Would highly recommend The Artful Doodler for any special occasion. Thank you Rich!

Rich ran a fantastic workshop for our Sixth Form Art Students - teaching them the techniques and approach to caricature drawings. The students learnt a new skill and had so much fun in the process. Rich was an excellent teacher and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for tutorials.
Rich - you've inspired a new generation of artists - Many Thanks!

Rich was absolutely fantastic at our wedding reception! All of our guests loved their caricatures and thought it added a very unique twist to the day. Rich was great at interacting and entertaining our guests and really went the extra mile on the day with his very funny drawings! If you are looking to add a caricaturist for your event or wedding, then Rich is definitely the one to book!

We booked Rich for our daughters wedding, he came in fully armed and ready to go work the crowd, he went down brilliantly, everyone said how great he was, it was a real talking point for people and they loved receiving their drawings, it was a great laugh. Thank you Rich 😊

Rich is an amazing guy with an incredible talent. My wedding, 50 guests, all 'captured' with photo evidence in 3 hours. Drawings are perfect, you made everyone smile. These photos are my wedding gift to us. To anyone who might want a reference, this is it. Thank you Rich. Awesome!!! #weddingentertainment #weddingentertainmentuk

Rich came to our wedding evening reception - we were very fortunate as he had a cancellation for that evening and had dropped our wedding date with not too much notice on him. What a lovely guy! All those who had caricatures by Rich loved them (as did we!) Would thoroughly recommend him for any event!

Rich came to my husbands 60th Birthday party at very short notice and did a fab job. All my guests thoroughly enjoyed his drawings and had lots of fun showing their pictures to other guests.
Rich was punctual, courteous and very friendly. I heartily recommend him for any special occasions.
A nice touch was each picture had the event date and name in the corner making it a perfect keepsake of the party.

Rich Nairn the Artful Doodler is so fab and he added such a fun twist to my wedding. Everyone either loved or was horrified by their caricatures (which is the whole point).

A very talented and reasonably priced artist I would one million percent recommend. PS also responds very well and with good humour to drunk brides/guests.

Thank you Mr Doodler!!! xxx

Absolutely fabulous! We wanted to fill the proverbial non-event time between our wedding ceremony and the wedding reception and had researched various options then came across Rich. His drawings are incredible and the likeness to his subjects is amazing! He fitted in well and everyone was delighted with the results giving them a keepsake alternative of our big day. We would highly recommend Rich- an amazing artist.

Rich was amazing at our reception, all our guests raved about his drawings and loved having them as a keepsake of our day. Every picture was unique and the subject of each and every one was obvious.
We would definitely hire him again.
Thank you Rich, you made our reception even more amazing.
