Personable and Talented!

We hired Tampa Caricatures for our son’s rehearsal dinner. What a fantastic experience!

She created caricatures of the bride & groom ahead of time so they could mingle with our guests.

Practically every guest sat for a portrait and loved their memento of the special occasion and their trip to Tampa. She personalized the art to add a little bit of local flair. It was such a nice touch. Would 100% do it again.

FAQs

  • Most events book at $150–$200 per hour, per artist, with a two-hour minimum.

    Final pricing depends on guest count, travel, and any custom branding or add-ons. Every quote is tailored to your event so you get exactly what you need without paying for extras you don’t.

  • Yes! We are happy to book caricatures services for events in nearby areas. We have artists in cities such as Orlando, Ocala, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Brandon, Sarasota and Lakeland.

  • Not much at all! We just need a small spot for our easel and two chairs, plus adequate lighting so we can see our guests clearly. If we’re outdoors, a shaded area is best to keep everyone comfortable and the drawings looking their best.

  • For black and white, our artist can typically finish a face in 3-5 minutes or around 20 guests an hour per artist.

    Color is 7-12 minutes per face, or around 10 guests an hour per artist.

    Full body+themed drawings with color are 10-20 minutes per person, or around 6 guests per hour (depending on complexity.)

    If you have a lot of guests to accommodate, we offer the option of hiring multiple artists. We’ve done boutique events with as few as 5 guests, as well as large corporate parties with guest counts of over 500.

  • No worries! We can tailor the caricature style to match the tone of your event. Whether you prefer fun and exaggerated drawings or a more flattering, portrait-style approach, we adjust our artwork to ensure your guests feel comfortable and enjoy the experience.

    Just let us know your preference, and we’ll make sure the caricatures fit the vibe of your event perfectly!

  • Absolutely!

    Color or themed caricatures take a bit longer than standard B&W drawings, so you may want to book multiple artists or extend your hours to make sure everyone gets a turn.

    When you submit a quote request, we’ll provide a few tailored options so you can choose what best fits your event.

  • Tampa Caricatures is a local, artist-run company; not a third-party booking agency. Having personally drawn at hundreds of events, we know how to curate a seamless, professionally executed experience down to the smallest detail.
