Review by Dan K.

High School Reunion•Reviewed on August 17, 2026•From Titusville, PA

I found John Manders to be a highly talented artist. The caricatures he drew for my classmates at my class reunion were very entertaining. Everybody loved them. He was very professional and easy to work with. Excellent Artist!

Thanks for hiring me, Dan! A lovely event and fun group of people. It was a pleasure to work with you.

Private Party•Reviewed on May 25, 2026•From Chesterland, OH

John was very professional, he is so talented and his work is outstanding! All of the guests at Bully Bash 2026 in Cleveland absolutely loved the artwork of their dogs. This was the first time we used a caricature artist and it was definitely a hit! I have a wedding this summer, and if John is available, I would hire him again. I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends as well. We are very happy with this experience.

Thanks, Daphne! What a charming bunch of guests and doggies. I had a wonderful time!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 2, 2025•From Little Valley, NY

John was an awesome addition to my wedding reception. He was able to offer entertainment for guests who were not as fond of the dance floor, and an additional favor to remember it by. He was a unique experience to add to my event that hadn't been seen before. So awesome! Definitely recommend John to anyone!

Club Event•Reviewed on June 8, 2023•From Knox, PA

Only complaint is that he said it took him about 3 minutes to complete one sketch. He was paid for 3 hours but only completed about 24 sketches?

Prom•Reviewed on May 16, 2022•From Clymer, NY

This was unique and fun for the students at our prom and provided an alternative to dancing. Mr. Manders was professional, accommodating, and kind! I could never say enough about this experience, but instead, have already provided his contact information to a parent who might be interested in booking for a graduation party. Thank you, Mr. Manders, for a memorable opportunity for our students!

Thanks so much, Paula! What a nice crowd of young ladies and gents. It was a pleasure to draw them. John

Review by Kat W.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 23, 2021•From Pittsburgh, PA

He was WONDERFUL!! 10/10. It was such a busy day that my Husband and I almost didn’t get a chance to get our picture done. Thankfully the bride and groom can cut the line at their own wedding ??. Not a single person had a bad thing to say, all rave reviews. Thank you so much John!!

Thank you, Kat! It was a pleasure to meet you and your beautiful family. What a fun crowd! My best wishes for a blessed life together. —John

Review by Heidi B.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 2, 2019•From Edinboro, PA

John did a wonderful job at my daughter's wedding. He was a big hit and I dare say that the caricatures he did will be treasured for many years to come. Best decision we made about the whole entire wedding!

Thanks for including me, Heidi! I had a lovely evening. What a beautiful family! John

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 26, 2019•From Clymer, NY

John was so much fun and very accommodating! He was at my son’s wedding and everyone loved him!

Aw, thanks, Judy! It was a lovely reception—even the rain couldn't dampen such a perfect wedding. It was a treat to have been a part of it.

Review by Matt R.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 2, 2018•From Mount Jewett, PA

This guy was legit, he was a big hit at our wedding. The guest loved there pictures, he was very professional. Only thing I would have liked better is the quality of the paper, it was to thin. Paper needed to be heavier to be more durable. Other than that I was very happy with John Manders.

Thanks, Matt. I will make a change in the paper. I had a wonderful time drawing your family and guests. Just the best people. Special thanks to the lady who made up a plate for me to take home—I love beef on wick and hers was delicious! Best wishes for a life of blessings and happiness for you and your wife. —John

Review by Bonnie A.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 26, 2017•From Knox, PA

I could not say enough good about John. His professionalism was suburb. We scheduled him for 2 hrs for a fiftieth anniversary and he was there 4 hrs. Never stopped. Poor man. We had a line waiting for their portraits from the beginning to end of the party. Pictures were shared all over Facebook. People still talking about it. It was a wonderful way to give back to our friends and family. It was the hit of the event. I would highly recommend John Manders.

Thank you, Bonnie, for your kind review! It was an honor to be included in your anniversary celebration. May you have many more! —John

Review by Terry S.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 4, 2016•From Mentor, OH

We hired John Manders for our daughter's wedding. He was the hit of the reception, and everyone loved their caricature, as well as watching him create them! I have already recommended him to others, and gave lots of guests the information on how to hire him. Great experience!!

Oh, Terry, thank you so much! It was an honor to be a part of such a happy occasion. You have a beautiful family. —John
