Review by Zachary C.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 12, 2025•From Dodgeville, WI

Bernie was wonderful to work with! From start to finish, everything was very professional. The guests at the wedding had a blast and said nothing but great things about the artwork and his personality. Would definitely recommend Bernie if you are looking for amazing art and a friendly conversation!

Thanks for the nice review Zach! It was a great time. Congratulations to your Mom!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 3, 2024•From Madison, WI

Bernie was absolutely amazing to work with. He communicated everything he needed down to what he would wear, his personal preferences, and overall was one of the best parts of our wedding! He was super friendly with all guests, is absolutely amazing with children, and his talent is unparalleled. He works efficiently and even gave me recommendations about the art community so I could join! He is so passionate about his work and I cannot recommend him enough. Definitely splurge on him because he is worth every single penny!

Thanks Eva! Good luck and congratulations to you and Matthew!

Bernie Tennis of Tennis fACES is Insanely Talented & Wickedly Charming!I contracted Bernie for a client event and couldn't be happier. Bernie is easy to work with and exceeded all expectations! He is so very talented and we were amazed at how detailed and quickly he could draw each group. He had a copy of our logo (which he requested prior to the event) and included it and the date on the drawing paper. It was such a lovely take away from the evening with our clients. His personality, charm and quick wit made the evening! Truly a delightful experience! I've been planning client events for decades and Bernie is Top Notch. I highly recommend Bernie.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on November 13, 2023•From Menomonee Falls, WI

Bernie came to our client appreciation holiday party at a local country club & was a HUGE hit. He is an extremely talented artist & a delight to interact with for our clients & ourselves. He arrived early & was ready to go well before the event started. He jumped right in & made the most wonderful & detailed caricatures. He realistically captured each person he drew & made each person feel so special with his artwork & conversation. Bernie worked hard for almost 6 hours. His artwork was excellent from start to finish & he was all smiles throughout. We highly recommend Bernie & hope to hire him again in the future!

Holiday Party•Reviewed on January 16, 2026•From Madison, WI

I hired Bernie for a holiday party attended by leadership from my organization, and everyone was in awe of his talent and the portraits they got to take home. The work he does with shading is gorgeous and the portraits were admired by everyone, even those who didn't sit for their own. I would highly recommend hiring Bernie to provide entertainment and a keepsake for your event attendees.

Thanks Jenny! I met some interesting people from all over, and one long time acquaintance whom I hadn't seen in years. Great event!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 30, 2022•From Eagle, WI

Bernie’s work is exceptional and his easy going personality was perfect for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Our guests were so excited to get drawn, and watching his creations was double the entertainment for the party! I can’t wait to have a reason to have Bernie out again. You won’t be disappointed.

Bernie is so talented and just a joy to work with. The guests at my granddaughter's wedding reception last night were so pleased that we had hired him. He even stayed beyond his originally scheduled time due to a long line waiting. I would definitely recommend him for your event.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 8, 2022•From Milwaukee, WI

Bernie was amazing! It was really fun being able to provide our guests with a one of a kind keepsake from our wedding. They all enjoyed watching others get their portraits done, as well as sitting for their own. Everyone was impressed with Bernie’s work, as well as his style - he creates very flattering caricatures that would look great framed and on display. He even added some special touches to incorporate our “starry night” theme.

Thanks Jess! It was great fun working your wedding, I met a lot of very nice people. And great venue!
