It was an extreme pleasure to work with Bill. He was a huge hit at my wedding. He was patient, courteous and a true talent. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone holding a special event.

Bill was great! We hired him for my daughter's 1st bday. He showed up early to set up and was ready to go as soon as the party started. He was very professional and everyone loved his work. We highly recommend him!

Bill was fantastic. We hired him for our wedding. Everyone loved to have their picture drawn. I would highly recommend Bill for any event. But it was a nice addition to our wedding. He was fantastic from the moment we hired him to the moment he left our function.

Bill helped turn a nice event into a GREAT one with his humor and personal touch. He was easily accessible and responsive prior to the event and exceeded all of my expectations. My friends are still commenting on their caricatures. I would absolutely recommend Bill.

Bar Mitzvah•Reviewed on March 10, 2012•From Valdosta, GA
Bill was extremely professional. He was quick in responding to all of my emails and phone calls and he called me a few days before the event to confirm, which was very comforting. He came to the venue early to prepare and was ready by the time my guests arrived. He was very patient and kind with my guests, many of which were kids and took several turns. Having him there really made our party shine, even the adults had a blast. Overall, Bill was wonderful, talented, patient and have and will recommend him. Great guy for your party or event!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 27, 2011•From Fernandina Beach, FL
Even though we paid on time and upfront, he was surly, uncooperative, and clearly did not want to be there. He rotated through about 5 different images that had little to do with the person sitting in front of him. The fact that every caricature looked the same became a joke during the reception. Every time we have seen one of our guests since the wedding we hear a new story about how rude Bill was. That said, we had a lovely wedding and our "terrible caricature artist" became a funny joke that added to the memories of our wedding. Perhaps he just had a bad day; but I would definitely caution anyone who was thinking about using him to proceed with extreme caution.
:
I consider this critique a bad work of fiction with an obvious motive behind its conception.
Most egregious, Mr. Powers failed to return my contract. I told him I would withdraw my services if he did not produce a contract or final balance. More importantly, I worked for four hours straight without a complaint from his guests or him. Afterwords, Mr. Power's brother thanked me profusely for comming and doing a great job. As for the quality of my work, Mr Powers saw my portfolio before he hired me. I think that his posting is just a vindictive effort to get revenge after I told him I would withdraw my services without garauntee of payment.

Halloween Party•Reviewed on October 25, 2010•From Middleburg, FL
Bill was such a hit! We had over 100 people at our Halloween party. I'm not sure exactly how many pics he drew but all of the kids (around 40) and many of the adults got one. Everyone was so impressed and it made the party very special. He worked for 3 hrs straight and I know that he worked an event earlier in the day. He must have been exhausted but he showed no signs of it. He happily worked with everyone who sat down in front of him and did a great job. I would hire him again in a minute!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on February 6, 2010•From Jacksonville, FL
I would highly recommend Bill's Caricatures to anyone for any party or occasion. I hired Bill for my tween daughter's surprise party and he was the hit! Each girl sat for and brought home an original caricature of herself and several of the moms thanked me for the great gift and have since framed them for their child's room. We will be using ours for our holiday card this year. His fees were better than reasonable to begin with - but when our time was up and a few additional people wanted to be done, Bill stayed until each and everyone (adults included) had their very own work of art to walk away with. He was professional, funny, unobtrusive, and entertaining!

He was professional and he tells you what you can expect by having him as entertainment and what you need to do depending on the size of your party. His price was comparable to any other type of (children) entertainment. He provided envelopes for the drawings, so instead of goodie bags, we put a label on the envelope saying "Thank you for coming to..." It's a great souvenir for the kids and parents instead of toys/candies that end up in the garbage anyways-So not only was he great entertainment to watch/but he provided the souvenirs as well.
