Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 10, 2017•From San Francisco, CA

Wow! I am so glad we booked Pete for our wedding! He is so talented and patient! He was accommodating even though we had a small space. He made everyone look great! He was quick and able to do about 20 guests in just two hours! Incredible! Thank you for making my wedding unique and even more special.

I would highly recommend Pete for any event. We had a wonderful time with our caricatures at our company picnic. He totally worked well with kids and babies. He was able to capture drawings of their faces even when they squirmed about. He also was able to add last minute request of adding our logo and event title to the paper he used. THANKS PETE!!!

You're welcome, Diana. Thanks for the nice review. I had a great time at your party!

Pete was fantastic. He was professional, great with the kids and dog and is an incredibly talented aritist. His work is outstanding and we are all so honored to have a personalized piece of unique art that will last us a lifetime. Hire Pete.

Our event was such a big success. The picture turned out amazing and Pete was able to capture each of our likenesses perfectly. I will definitely recommend him to friends and for future work events.

Thank you very much. I was not at the event but have heard excellent feedback and I am really pleased you made sure that even Adam got a picture. Very happy. I live in U.K. But if I do another San Fran event would def invite you back. Hope you had fun as much as everyone else did.

Wedding•Reviewed on January 7, 2017•From Oakland, CA

Pete really livened up our wedding with his awesome caricatures! I looked at several caricature artists before selecting Pete, whose caricatures I found the most flattering. It was a real hit with our guests, and there was a long line for caricatures the whole night. Several of our guests showed us the end result, and they were all really happy with how he portrayed them. Pete even used a caricature of my husband and me to frame each caricature. We felt that his caricatures made the wedding feel more special since our guests could take home a unique keepsake from the wedding. Pete really helped make our wedding cocktail hour and reception so fun for our guests!

Thanks for the kind and gracious review, Mariam. I'm glad I was able to play a small part in making your wedding a memorable occasion!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 5, 2016•From Fairfax, CA

5's across the board! Pete's caricatures are amazing; he's a very talented artist. The kids and parents at our 6 year old birthday party all said what a great addition to the party - it really was the highlight. Everyone was so excited to have their picture drawn and to be able to take something special home with them. The drawings were put nicely into a plastic cover to keep them clean and unwrinkled. Pete went the extra mile for us and agreed to stay later so every kid got their picture done. I would highly recommend Pete for your event!

Thank you for the nice review Holly, I really appreciate it...and I'm very pleased that the kids enjoyed my work! Thanks so much for booking me for your party!

Pete did a great job at our Gala! Our guests enjoyed coming to a black-tie event and having a little fun and a take-away. Thank you Pete for sharing your talent with us.

Thanks for the review Luz, I enjoyed being there with that fun group, and seeing the superhero skit was a big plus for me too!

I was running low on time to book someone for our company's Holiday Party. My superiors wanted something unique instead of the usual photobooth. We went for a caricature artist. Pete was amazing to work with and was able to accommodate our last minute changes. Would definitely recommend him!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 13, 2015•From Calistoga, CA

It was the most positive experience. Having Pete there was a true blessing. Every one of my 67 guest LOVED having their cartoon drawing done. It was awesome and what's even more awesome was Pete's willingness to stay past the contracted time to finish up on the drawings. All my guests gushed about how friendly and professional Pete is! Thank you Pete so much for being a pleasant vendor and making our wedding go by smoothly. I will definitely refer you to for future events for my friends and family. I will also leave a review for you on YELP! Thank you so much Pete! You are DA BOMB!!!!

Pete is GREAT! He was a huge hit at our St. Patrick's day party and everyone loved his work (I wish I could have gotten one done!). He is professional, on time, and has great talent. We will definitely be using him in the future.

We had Pete for an event at our new office in SF. He was awesome! Everyone enjoyed the experience, and folks also loved the caricatures they got to take home with them. We will hire Pete again if we can.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 1, 2014•From Carmel, CA

Pete's caricatures were one of the highlights of the wedding. He was totally unobtrusive yet was always at the right place at the right time. Pete truly captured the essence of each person enhancing their good features and down playing features they would not consider flattering. His work is a wedding keepsake for all that attended. Years from now after old photo albums have been put away Pete's Caricatures will still be there and people will remember Tamieka's and John's wedding. We could not be more pleased to be able to provide our guests with a keepsake they will treasure forever. Pete's work represents a unique gift which will last a lifetime.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on May 5, 2014•From San Jose, CA

We could not be happier with Pete! Everything was perfect! He was very prompt and professional in planning our event details, contract, and custom premade background. He showed up exactly on time, and dressed to our Paris theme (even suggesting we call him Pierre). He was extremely kind, and calm, making ALL of our quests feel very excited and motivated to have their caricature done. He didn't rush nor skimp on quality. Everyone at our party was in total agreement that he is extremely talented and LOVED their portraits! Many compliments after the party too. His efforts really helped make our party the best ever! We highly recommend you hire Pete for your event!
