Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 14, 2024•From Oak Park, IL
Varin was so great to work with - right from the start, she was very responsive in her communications making it easy to get a quote and sign a contract. She was able to accommodate our schedule request which required her to be on site longer than usual - and priced our request fairly. Our guests LOVED their silhouette keepsakes, and even commented that she was fun/interesting to talk with while she was cutting their silhouettes. She surprised my husband and I with a beautiful framed silhouette of the two of us as a gift. I HIGHLY recommend Varin, and this unique experience/art form is something special that guests will remember for a long time!

Thank you for your kind review! It was my pleasure to be there.

I truly cannot recommend Varin enough. She was so lovely to work with--easygoing and accommodating. Plus she is talented beyond belief. The cut paper silhouettes were a highlight for all of guests. I hope to find an excuse to work with her again in the future. She is a real gem of a human and artist.

I'm so glad we hired Varin for our event! She did silhouettes for our conference-style Annual Meeting during cocktail hour, as well as dinner. She is so talented! Varin was super easy and pleasant to communicate with, and was great with our guests. She has great energy and is was a wonderful add to our program. The silhouette cutting itself is very unique and professional. We had excellent participation and feedback from guests. She's wonderful! Highly recommend.

Varin was AMAZING!!! I am so glad I booked her for my wedding! I have the most personalized guestbook now, thanks to her! She provided both entertainment and an amazing keepsake I will treasure forever.
She was also a DREAM to work with in the lead up to my wedding! She always replied quickly, was very flexible and very friendly.
Thank you Varin, for making my wedding such a special day. I will always remember your magic and am in awe of your talent.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I loved the venue and all of your charming guests. A boat ride around Manhattan was a treat for me too! Best wishes for you both.

Varin was very professional, quick to respond, and offered great quality and price for her work. She absolutely made our wedding better and essentially brought all her own supplies. We'd book her again in a heartbeat. Because she travels so extensively, her travel fees are much more affordable than others, and we're so grateful she was free and able to join us.

Thank you for your kind review! It was a pleasure to be there, and having a campervan does help a lot with expenses! :)

Varin was great. I hired her for my wedding to add another element of fun. From day one, she was always available to talk and answer any questions I had. I had Varin set up in the cocktail room for 1 hour and then had her relocate to the reception room. She transitioned with zero issues. She was also quick and efficient. It seemed as though it only took her 1 minute to do 1 silhouette. She even gave me a guest book with a copy of my guests silhouettes and a message they wrote. She framed my joint silhouette that she cut out with my face and my husband's face. She was a great addition to my wedding. Her work is incredible.

Thank you so much for your kind review! Your wedding was gorgeous and I enjoyed being there. Best wishes to you both!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on February 21, 2016•From La Mesa, CA
Varin was amazing and made sure to complete a silhouette for each of our family members, even when we realized Grandma hadn't done it she stopped packing up and completed Grandmas. She was on time, her set up was nice and her iPad with Mickey Mouse clubhouse made it so easy for the kids to sit and get their silhouette's made, which made for happy parents too! Her talent is absolutely amazing and she was definitely the hit of the party!! We loved the child ones and the couples that were made were so awesome! Everyone was is awe of how much their silhouette looked just like them. Thank you Varin for such a memorable experience at Evelyn's first birthday!!

Varin was amazing! Her set up was very inviting and explained what she was doing. Her talent is unmatched-- it was mesmerizing to watch her work! She is extremely personable and has an amazing life story. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to display a truly unique act, what a gift she has. I only wish I threw parties for a living-- I would always have her booked!

Varin is amazingly talented & we were so lucky to have her share that talent with our guests at our daughter’s wedding. Beth’s theme was vintage shabby chic. Besides sharing her wonderful talent, Varin wore a lovely outfit with a darling black fascinator that exactly fit the mood.
Beth was all for having Varin but we weren’t sure about our guests. No worries, they loved her as much as we did. She never stopped producing beautiful silhouettes for 4 hours. I highly recommend her. Her pricing is reasonable and Beth and Eric got a keepsake book of each silhouette with the guest’s signature. Varin cuts 2 at a time. It’s a lovely favor & a keepsake too. 10 stars!

It was a pleasure to be a part of this beautiful wedding. I loved the Prickel Barn venue and your guests could not have been sweeter. I had so much fun. Congrats on your daughter’s marriage!

My wedding guests absolutely loved their silhouettes! She made the experience fun and quick! Varin also cut silhouettes ahead of time as bridesmaids gifts! After committing to my wedding, she moved an even further distance from the event and still honored her commitment. She is also very affordable compared and does good job for the price. Recommend her!

Varin was a hit at the wedding! My guests were so thrilled with the way she captured their likeness-- they loved being sent home with their silhouette in hand as a take home gift & thought it was the coolest guest book they'd ever seen! She is incredibly talented & also accommodating-- I had many detailed requests (specific attired complete with a fascinator & specific table cloth request among some) & she rolled with it. Varin is a joy & is worth every penny!

VArin is an awesome silhouette artist. My wedding guests were pleasantly surprised at having her there. What a great new alternative to the typical guest book or silly photo booths. This was so elegant and fit in with our "just a touch of Disney" theme as well.

I can not begin to say how amazing it was to work with Varin the siloutte artist. From the beginning till the end she surprised me. I have not worked with an individual that was so accommodating to our needs. She worked with over 30 children and she was so calm and patient with the children. She was truly a blessing to find her via Gigmasters, thank you and thank you so much Varin. You work is amazing and all the parents could not stop talking about it from the silouttes itself the to frame and not to mention how beautiful your keyfobs/keychains are in person. Can not wait to call you again for our next event and I will be telling all my friends about you. Thank you

Thank you so much for inviting me, Lucy! It was my pleasure.
