I work in the event industry and I saw a fairly original idea the other day. Over the years I have seen many great ideas to make ones event different from others, especially in Weddings. But I had not seen a Caricature Artist. I think this would be a great alternative to Photo Booths or work well in conjunction with a photo booth. The fact is photo booths were a "cool new thing" at Weddings and other parties 10 years ago. I saw my first photo booth at a Wedding in 2004. I am seeing an increase in clients efforts to make their event better then friends events. If events are a competition, using Mike is a great way to advance your cause. Mike was very professional and easy to talk to. We worked together at a small event, but he seemed to exhibit the kind of Vendor Personality I have come to expect at $100,000 Weddings. read more

I had a chance to work Mike at Corporate Event at Levi's Stadium over the weekend. Very nice guy and easy to talk to. I was able to watch him whip a masterpiece within just a few minutes. I posted a picture of his work. As dinner was ending more people started to take notice of their work. There were two Caricatures and they both had longs lines as people waited to get their portraits drawn. As I took pictures I could see and hear their conversation and they were both having fun. read more

ALL our guess we're pleased with their caricature. It made our party so much FUN. Hope he will be available for your event. Marian S. read more

Worked with Mike at a recent corporate party cruise. As a fellow vendor who works hard to maintain high standards I know good service when I see it. Mike was very personable and people loved his work. We did not work near each other but he was able to snap a quick photo of us and hand delivered a fun caricature at the conclusion of the event. I would definitely recommend him for most any event. read more

Friendly guy!!!! He was at my friend's work Christmas party and he did a great job. We weren't even sitting still. I actually got up a couple times (to get napkins because my friend spilled her drink) but he still managed to get every detail, including our drinks! read more

I had Mike do my daughters 1st birthday and he was absolutely awesome! Not only were his drawings wonderful, he was very professional and all my guest loved him.

I will definitely be booking him for future events. read more

Caricatures 4 Parties - Belle's 1st Birthday! - Caricatures Near Me

CARICATURE 4 PARTIES Weddings are always the most special of days, and always big events. Other than the food, entertainment is always a big thing, ranging from live bands to photo booths to flip books... but one unique entertainment aspect that has yet to become more mainstream, are caricature artists. These special artists breathe new life to parties and weddings, and infuse a more personal touch to the guests. Mike Rosenthal was the caricature artist to our wedding on 7/20/14 and he was a BIG HIT, as the lines were always long. Mike provided a custom backdrop that was unique to our wedding and started drawing immediately during the cocktail hour. Drawn from the side view, with big heads and small bodies, the pictures were amazing and hilarious! They certainly bring out smiles and laughter. Furthermore, Mike was very social and engaging while drawing the pictures. Of all the entertainment that was provided at our wedding, most of our guests said that the caricature artist was the best of all, since it was the most unique, personal, and creative! These personal pictures turned out to be the best wedding favors, as they were total hits!!! People loved it so much that they back in line, no matter how long, just to get another picture(s) drawn!!! If I had known my guests would be so entertained by Mike and his artwork, I would have hired two Mike Rosenthals to do double duty!!! Till the next time! read more

I would highly recommend him for any event intimate or epic, he is the one for the job! read more

Had Michael and his partner for our company party last night -- In the course of 90 minutes, they had done every staffer (90 of us!) and had time for couples, etc. They were extremely professional, courteous and friendly.

If you're looking for that extra "something" for your party, book these guys! read more

Mike was working alongside me at a recent event. I was very impressed by his skill as well as the ease he put his clients at. Just chatting away and an amazing caricature was the result. The addition of color was a fun touch. Mike also arrived in plenty time and worked right up to the last minute coping with the very strong winds that day. You would be very hard pressed to find anyone better. read more

Mike was the hit at a recent party... people actually lined up to have their portraits taken AND MISSED DINNER over it! I've never seen anything like that. The fantastic thing about Mike's approach to caricature is that he always makes people look good in their caricatures - and so they feel good! Yes, like every good caricature artist he emphasizes and exaggerates a person's features - but he always picks the pleasing ones only! He truly does caricature with a loving touch, and people love him for that! read more

AMAZING! We had a corporate holiday party with over 500 people, and Mike and his team were fantastic! They are incredibly talented and worked tirelessly, drawing for all of our guests. They even stayed beyond the contract time to make sure everyone left with a caricature. Our team is still talking about how great they were and how much they love their drawings. They are professional and personable and we can't wait to have them back again next year. Would highly recommend for any professional or personal event. read more

We hired Mike for my company's private party. He was extremely easy to work with--friendly, professional, and punctual. Just as important, he was a fun and entertaining caricaturist. The guests were really pleased with having him there. He livened up the atmosphere by providing an exceptional and fun service for everyone. I can see this kinda thing working great for a work event or private party such as someone's bday. His caricatures were entertaining to say the least. Fast cartoon drawings with exaggerated features--A big hit for the guests. The cartoons were also a good ice breaker for guests roaming the room :-) Would highly highly recommend Mike for your next event! read more

Mike is one of the most personable and kind-hearted individuals you'll ever meet, especially in this industry. I find that not many caricature artists draw true caricatures, since many just look like portrait drawings. Mike is the real deal; he's incredibly fast at drawing exaggerated caricatures as they should be. You'll be amazed! The guy has skills. He also holds his pen in a very unique way. Really entertaining to watch, he is an asset to your events. read more

Martin was the highlight of the party - we're going to have to get him for one of our family events too! read more

Michael set up his caricature station at our reception for our wedding and he was a big hit. Being the bride and groom, we were shuttled around for photos and other activities at the time, and so we were not there in time to actually see Michael in action, but we heard from many of our guests that the activity was a real hit. Despite the fact that we booked him at the very last minute (within the week of the wedding), Michael was very professional and prepared for the day-of. Added a great little touch to our reception activities, and we felt very fortunate that Michael happened to be available that afternoon. Thank you, Michael! Made the day even more memorable for our guests, both young and old. read more
