Review by Veronica B.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 9, 2023From Syracuse, NY

I recently hired John Manders for my brother's wedding reception and I couldn't ask for a more polite, accommodating and talented artist. John and his manager Marie We're very professional. They arrived with plenty of time to set up and We're also able to stay an extra hour with a very short notice. All of the attendees That had their picture drawn were very pleased with many Asking for his business card. This is the third party i've fired him for and look forward to hiring him again in the future.

Thanks, Veronica! It was an honor and pleasure to be part of that splendid evening. What lovely family and friends! Marie and I had a fantastic time. Thanks so much for hiring us.

Graduation PartyReviewed on August 22, 2021From Liverpool, NY

If you look up the word talent in the dictionary I'm sure it says John Manders. Not even kidding! Beyond his talent he is also professional, good-natured and accommodating. He was hired for a 3-hour period, everyone loved him so much we needed an extra hour and he accommodated. I have already bragged to several people about him and will most definitely consider him for a future event.

Aw, thanks, Veronica! You make me blush. I'm grateful that you hired me. I had a lovely time. —John

This is the 2nd year (in a row....that's important!) that I have hired John for my event. He's been nothing but professional. Great communication leading up to the event and early to setup to be able to start at the requested time. The attendees loved him and I have already asked for him to be available next year.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 26, 2019From West Monroe, NY

John was professional, entertaining, and flexible! He was able to complete a ton of drawings for our guests. John was also flexible enough to stay an extra hour as our reception was still bombing at the end of his time with us! We were so grateful and guests really enjoyed the opportunity to document their time on our special day! He also arrived formally dressed as per our request.

Thanks, Julia! I had a wonderful time—what a beautiful, fun group of people. Thanks for including me.
