Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on October 29, 2018From New York City, NY

Excellent drawings. She just needs to be a little more friendly with kids and party guess.

Her black and white drawings were nice but I was expecting them to pop based on thd pics I seen on in her bio. Although my guests enjoyed her pictures they didnt feel she was social or entertaining and was simply there just to draw.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 28, 2017From New York City, NY

Hired Carol for my wedding banquet at a restaurant. The restaurant wasn't able to provide all the chairs she requested, but she was understanding of the situation. She was also happy to extend the time by a further half an hour. I had some feedback from some guests that their likeness was not reflected in the caricatures. There was also a complaint from my mom-in-law that Carol didn't let her "cut the line" and didn't let her down too gently. Normally i'd agree with Carol, but my mom-in-law was actually one of the stars of the show so to speak and the guests would have understood. Overall, i was satisfied but due to the above, i've had to drop the rating.

Bridal ShowerReviewed on June 24, 2018From Roslyn, NY

Carol arrived slightly later than we requested. We don’t feel that she engaged the guests enough with getting them to sit for a picture or chat with them during pictures. We didn’t like the quality of the paper she uses. We expected cardboard or a thicker paper. The drawings all seemed to look very similar and in many cases we could not decifer who was who.

CelebrationReviewed on May 2, 2016From Lynbrook, NY

We hired face painting .She was nasty from the beginning refusing to do caricturics for my guests .We asked her to do everyone and please tone the attitude because our guests were feeling the tension .She charged me 50 more to get everyone done,also took 60 from one of my guests that I did not find out until after party. I could only imagine how many more of my guests she charged.I paid for her services and she refused a lot of my guests .3 weeks before my party saying she had to cancel because she booked another party, when I booked in December .we will b calling gig masters and said please don't call them I will figure something out .

Carol has tremendous talent in her work I give her that. However, I have had numerous complaints from my guests stating that Carol was charging them and also charging different prices for pictures that should have been included! We paid Carol for the event and even gave her an extra $100 to stay and she was charging our guests. That is beyond taking advantage of! We are very disappointed in the way she handles her professionalism. She refused to draw certain guests, even though she previously mentioned she was flexible with time.

Hi Anna! There is clearly a misunderstanding here! I try hard to always provide the best service under any circumstances. But I certainly would not ever deliberately want to be paid more than what I believed to be fair in any situation. After I was asked to “wrap things up” and put my supplies away, I was asked to draw one more person, and I guess this is seen as not being accommodating. I’m so sorry but this is very confusing to me! It really feels that more communication would have resulted in a smoother outcome. But I’m happy you loved the artwork and I wish you both tremendously happiness on your new life together!
