Review by Deena W.

Community Event•Reviewed on October 14, 2014•From Nokesville, VA

George was a huge hit at our pediatric cancer charity event. He was amazing with all the kids and their families. He stayed later than asked to finish up the line of people wanting their portraits created. The kids kept coming up to me and showing me their portraits saying "look how cool this is". I will definitely use George at a future event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 5, 2014•From Sewell, NJ

We were very happy with George Edwards for our sons 1st birthday! He made sure to contact us a few times before our party, just to get some details about the party and make sure he knew how to get there. He arrived on time and stay until all of the kids (and some adults) had their caricatures completed. His talent was great and the caricatures looked amazing. Not only did they look like the people he was drawing, he personalized each one with the child's name and something they liked such as airplanes or princesses. Then the caricatures were put in a plastic bag and they became the perfect favor and keepsake for the kids at the party! We were very pleased!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 22, 2014•From Thurmont, MD

George was wonderful and the hit of the party. I wish I would have hired him for a longer period of time because not all guests got to have their pictures done.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on July 11, 2014•From Manassas, VA

Mr George was great with the kids. He was booked for only two hours but since I had so much kids, he stayed another 2. Thanks for helping to make my daughter's first birthday a great one!!!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 29, 2013•From Malvern, PA

George was very good. Responsive, asked a lot of questions about our idea in order to confirm we were on the same page, and timely delivery. Would definitely recommend.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 17, 2013•From Fairfax, VA

We were thrilled to have George at our holiday party for the community! People were lining up and loving the finished product! George was on time, easy to work with and a gifted artist! We highly recommend him for any event and look forward to hiring him again for future events! Thanks George!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 20, 2013•From McLean, VA

We are thrilled that we found George for our party! George was very professional, friendly, charming, and hard-working. He worked for almost 4 hours without a single break! George was very accommodating and dressed according to our all-black Halloween theme, and he stayed way past our agreed time due to the long line of guests waiting for portraits. George's portraits were fun, flattering, and the talk of the party. Our Halloween/Milestone birthday party simply would not have been the same without him. We highly recommend George and are already brainstorming ways we can incorporate him into our future parties. Thank you, George!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on November 24, 2015•From Bowie, MD

George is a skilled artist and his work is beautiful!!! We had a function for 250 people. His detailed "sketches" took time and not everyone was able to their caricature done. On the other hand, everyone that got one was thrilled! He really does capture the special qualities of each face!

Community Event•Reviewed on July 2, 2015•From Baltimore, MD

George was the hit of our block party! He did a fantastic job, and the community was very pleased with his work. We will definitely be using him again.

Private Party•Reviewed on August 3, 2015•From Reston, VA

Nice guy, very talented, but very slow. He takes such great pride in his work that it makes it difficult to get many done. I provided a list of ideas for each person and he spent time with them, but overall I was disappointed with his creativity.

Review by Megan K.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 22, 2017•From Grasonville, MD

George was great! The only downfall I would say is that he was a little slower than I would have preferred since it was for a wedding and we had a limited amount of time. However on that note he was very detail oriented therefore it took him time to be as detail oriented as he was. He was great.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on April 10, 2016•From Bowie, MD

George was on time and was able to accomandate an extended time frame. As far as talent goes, the kids drawing were very realistic. The kids drawings had facial characteristics that made you it was them but the adult all looked the same. The adult even looked older than they really were.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 25, 2015•From Kennett Square, PA

George did a great job. My guests were very happy with their pictures. He arrived a little before the time expected so he could set up and started promptly at the time he was supposed to. I would definitely hire him again and refer him to friends.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on March 23, 2014•From Hunt Valley, MD

George is talented and pleasant. A number of people asked him to do couples and were happy with the result. He did a nice job and stayed busy all night. He gave us an extra hour, which was much appreciated. People enjoyed the attraction.

:

The customers preferred double caricatures, of two people, I told them it would take longer than singles. Julia herself requested the first double after several quick singles, after that all they wanted was doubles. I also improvised 'western themes' for the sitters, as the event was a fundraiser and had a country band and was called a 'Shindig'. Working out the ideas for each couple so that the theme worked for two people, for instance a husband and wife in a "quick draw" situation, took extra time in discussion and planning. All the sitters were pleased and I received some generous tips, but doing doubles cut my production in half.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 12, 2015•From Manassas, VA

George is an amazing artist who captures the personality of the sitter and presents a polished drawing and wonderful rememberance to the guest. He has an engaging personality and is anxious to please. He obviously loves what he does!

The original agreement/arrangement did not follow through as planned, so not everyone received a drawing.

Everyone at the party thought it was a terrific idea.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 28, 2016•From Mantua, NJ

He wasn't very personable. Maybe it's the artist in him but he didn't talk to anyone. Just asked them to smile or move their head. I was expecting someone alittle more outgoing and fun.

Review by Peter J.

Graduation Party•Reviewed on July 14, 2017•From Mickleton, NJ

Very Nice guy, but he was late for the event. He is very slow. He would not draw my wife and I after his time was over. Again, nice man, but I would not hire him again.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 27, 2016•From Millville, NJ

Hiring George Edwards for my daughters birthday party was one of the best choices I've made. His Talent exceeded all of our expectations. He also had a very reasonable rate the cheapest I found. And honestly if he charged more I would still go to him he worked the entire way through with every portrait getting better and better. I also had a face painter in which he worked next to and was very kind and considerate of her space. George had everyone asking me for his card. I know I will see him many times after this wether it's a friend or relatives party or my own. You really need to look no further. ??

Wedding•Reviewed on May 24, 2016•From Towson, MD

George was wonderful and is incredibly talented! All of our wedding guests were so excited to have their caricature drawn and happy to take them home! George was easy to communicate with, getting back to me right away whenever I contacted him. I would definitely recommend George for others to use and for our future events!!
