Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 22, 2013•From Saint Augustine, FL
Our guests loved Rafael! His caricatures were a favorite for many of them! He arrived on time, worked hard to accommodate all of our guests and did beautiful work! The portrait he did in advance of my husband and me was great considering he hadn't even met us and just went off photos! It really made for a special evening. You should see how many Facebook profile photos are his work today! Everyone commented that this was way better than a photo booth. Our only regret is that we promised him a prime rib dinner and got swept away before we could deliver. He deserved it and we would be happy to oblige any time he is in south Florida! Thank you Rafael!!
Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on February 17, 2013•From Orlando, FL
He was very prefessional. He simply did not draw the person, he tries to get to know them, talk and entertainthem as well. He was on time and started right away, without taking a break. He even went over the time we agreed upon, and drew more faces than we agreed upon. He is more expensive than most of the caricaturist in my area, BuT worth every penny. I paid him in full 2 months in advance, trusting all the positive feedback from previous customers, and i was not diappointed at all.
Thank you Rafael, for being a part of my daughters first birthday.
Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on November 21, 2012•From Orlando, FL
We had our daughters 6 year old Birthday party with Rafael there to do character
Drawings of all of the children to take home as their "goody bag"!
Rafael was great!! He was very easy going, very good with the kids and adults!
And to top it off an Exceptionally talented Artist!
At least a dozen parents got Rafael's information so they can use him at future parties and events! As we will ourselves!!
You cannot go wrong with choosing Rafeal!
Thank You!!

Jimmy was fantastic. He was extremely talented and all of the guests were really impressed. The only thing that could have been managed better was the waiting list. It was not clear to some of the guests that each name on the list was for one drawing not for a family that may contain three kids. He got rushed toward the end of the evening, but even if the rushed drawings were not the best - they were still great. Overall, very pleased. :)
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 10, 2012•From Orlando, FL
Rafael was a PERFECT fit for our event and exceeded our expectations! First, having carictures done turned out to be a great decision - we had a mix of adults and children at the party and it was fun for everyone.
No question Rafael is a talented artist, but several of our guests commented to me what a great conversationalist he was, and that he really worked well with every guest in a personal way.
I'm telling you - he was a real hit. I would hire him again in a second.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 24, 2012•From Palm Coast, FL
Rafael Diez-Cartoonyou! arrived early. He worked through all the excitement of an Adult Birthday Party. Everyone was so pleased with the results of his drawings. I would highly recommend him. As a matter of note, my neighbor has asked for his information to make a recommendation to a family friend for their next function. Thank you Rafael Diez for all your drawings.

Rafael was perfect for our event. He interacted well with everyone, was on time and professional, and did great art. He is well worth it and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a sketch artist.
Thank you, Rafael!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 4, 2012•From Melbourne, FL
I would highly recommend Rafael!! He was so happy, professional and kind :) He was the star of the wedding, besides me , the bride :) Everyone I talked to at the wedding was raving about Rafael. My parents were so preoccupied during the reception that they forgot to get their picture drawn. Rafael remembered this, and on his own sent me an email saying that if I mailed him a picture of my parents, he would draw their cartoon and mail it out to him. Awesome job, and if you have'nt booked Rafael yet, stop reading this review and DO IT NOW!! You will not be disappointed!!
Bachelorette Party•Reviewed on March 8, 2012•From Orlando, FL
Rafael was prompt, accommodating, and extremely talented. He personalized each picture and easily conversed with all of the ladies at the party making the time go fast and smooth. It was so wonderful that everyone was able to take a picture home with them. I would hire Rafael again for any event!
