Booked Zach for a Halloween Event that my friend and I were hosting for our church. It was such a pleasure working with Zach. He arrived early and even was so gracious to stay later and offered to have some of our staff get their picture drawn. Looking forward to booking him again for future events. He was kind, polite, and exceeded beyond our expectations! He was clear on things we could help offer such as a table and chairs and added our logo to the drawings which was a huge plus. Having him made this such a memorable event! read more

We hired Zach to do digital caricatures of our guests during the cocktail/reception of our wedding. He was A HIT! The line never stopped and he was busy the entire time. The guests had a lot of fun with their portraits, and so many told us how impressed they were with Zach! I only wished we we could've hired him for more hours! I chose Zach over other caricature artists because I thought he did a great job capturing his subjects. You'll know what I mean if you look at his portfolio. He has an Instagram that showcases more of his work. Zach was also very responsive to all my emails, and was just wonderful to work with. He's reliable, and passionate about his work. I highly recommend Zach for any event! read more

My fiancé and I hired Zach as a caricaturist during cocktail hour at hour wedding. Prior to the event Zach was prompt when responding to email, he was easy going, and very nice. On the day of the wedding he showed up on time and did an amazing job drawing our friends and family. It's three days after our wedding and we have heard nothing but great things about Zach! Zach, thank you for coming to our wedding and entertaining our guests! read more

Zach is wonderful!! I hired him for my sons 1st birthday party and the kids and adults LOVED it! They loved him so much I asked him to stay another hour but unfortunately he had another party.

My friends loved him and some are considering on having him at their future parties because his work was so wonderful! I highly recommend Zach for your next company, birthday, bar mitzvah, wedding party etc. He is wonderful to work and will definitely keep your guests entertained! read more

Caricatures by Zach! - Caricatures Near Me

Zach recently drew caricatures at my wedding. He was an absolute hit! I had so many guests come up to me to proudly show me their caricatures. Would definitely recommend Zach's service for a fun festivity at weddings!! read more

Zach is amazing! This review is sooo late since we hired him back in March 2011, but a good review is better late than never! We hired Zach for our daughter's 1st birthday party at a banquet tent with 130 guests. He was such a hit! He was there for 3 hours and the line never stopped. People ate so quicky or ate late so they could stand in line and have their caricature drawn! My first impression of Zach was that he is a professional. He responded to our inquiry within 24 hours and was very detailed in all his e-mails. His website is accurate because the quality of his pictures are same as what you get for your guests. What I appreciate the most about Zach is his flexibility and honesty. I was able to talk to him about my budget and expectations without feeling like a cheap skate. He didn't make me feel uncomfortable as I discussed budget and party details. There was no awkwardness. My friends LOVED him! They all commented on the quality of his caricatures and how high quality they are. They aren't those quicky drawings that you may see elsewere. He was friendly to our guests and made a strager staring at them for 3-4 minutes bearable. I highly recommend Zach and I would hire him again for our next party. In fact, he is in my preffered vendors list that I share with friends and family. read more

My very first portrait came out so cute! Actually all of our friends' did. Zach was amazingly fast with his drawings but still was able to capture the characteristics of each person. He carried a great smile throughout and truly seemed to enjoy his work - even in the hot sun. read more

The steady five-star reviews are totally legit! My wife and I also hired Zach for our wedding a few years back. He worked his booty off, doing fantastic work that was so much fun to watch. Tip to the wedding planners; you might want to hire a wingman to go with Zach. With a couple hundred wedding guests wanting their images drawn, there simply wasn't enough time for him to get to them all. read more

Zach is the best! He did caricatures for our event at CCSF and the students loved it! He paid attention to everyone he drew and included so much detail. He even printed our logo on the paper for free! I really recommend to book Zach for your next event. read more

I planned a corporate event and brought in Zach to bring some fun! I will highly recommend him for any type of event. He is extremely professional, helpful and talented! Everyone enjoyed watching him work on the iPad. I hope I get the pleasure of working with him again. Thanks Zach! read more

We hired Zach Trenholm for an employee party and I HIGHLY recommend him! Zach was extremely communicative throughout the booking process and very organized and professional...in addition to offering his services at a reasonable rate. We selected the digital caricatures (versus the traditional sketches) because it provided entertainment as Zach's work on his iPad was projected onto a large screen. He was really able to "capture" each individual in his artwork which was a joy to watch come to life. Plus, with digital, you can access the images online after the fact. Zach definitely earned his 5 stars based on his quality of work, but if I could add an honorary star, i would. There was such high demand, that, by the time the party was ending, there was still a line of eager employees waiting for their likenesses to be drawn. Zach stayed an additional hour without a second thought...being in a service industry, this was a true testament to Zach's professionalism and dedication. Bottom line: For any and all caricature considerations, you will not regret working with Zach. read more

Zach was a hit at our wedding in April 2016. He's fast but extremely on point with his drawings, patience too with our drunk guests and me :). Booking was a breeze with him. And he arrived early! read more

This is the second year that I used Zach for my company holiday party. With over 80 guests, Zach was a hit. Everyone loved his caricatures and he had a very long line of eager participants. His demeanor and patience in getting through everyone in the line was most admired. Even when the party was over, he still had 3 more guests in line and he finished them up which results in 30 minutes of overtime. I immediately offered to pay him for the difference and he said it is fine and that he had a great time. I found that to be so awesome and really appreciated his flexibility. Thank you Zach for your professionalism and patience with my group. read more

Zach was our caricaturist during our wedding back in October 2012. He was definitely one of the highlights at our wedding and he was an unanimous hit with everyone from little kids to teenagers to adults. There were alot of people that wanted to have their portraits drawn and there was a long line for him, but Zach kept his cool and was super efficient, patient, friendly and professional. The final end product was amazing, fun, and accurate. If you are looking for a caricaturist for your wedding, I would highly recommend that you hire Zach!! read more

Zach is THE BEST! We featured his services at our annual Company Party and we had such positive feedback from our staff. Not only is he extremely professional in his communications and preparation, but he is so friendly and positive in his interactions with our employees & their kids/families. He puts folks at ease immediately. There was a huge line for people patiently waiting their turn, and a crowd around his table as he drew each portrait. He uniquely captures each person's actual features unlike other caricature artists we've seen. And he gets extra points for wearing a beret. =) I'd recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! read more

Zack was awesome! He was definitely a hit at our company event. Every drawing was amazing -- he's able to completely capture someone in just a few strokes, without going too over-the-top in exaggerating any features. We ended up having him stay at our event longer due to demand. read more

We hired Zach for a corporate event last week based on a coworker's recommendation. He was easy to contact and book, arrived on time, and was very pleasant and professional. Our event had about 100 people and we had several activities, but we were surprised at how popular Zach was. People liked watching him work and he was good with the audience. He was also faster than we expected so everyone who wanted a sketch got one. We would definitely hire him again for other events! read more

Zach is not only an incredible artist, he is a fantastic community partner! He has provided his wonderful caricature talents to our homeless shelter for families, Raphael House of San Francisco. He has drawn at our annual fall fundraiser for years, and there is always a line at his table! We feel very lucky that he supports our homeless shelter for families by being such a wonderful presence at our fundraiser. Thank you Zach, and we look forward to the next one! read more

Dear Zach, Thank you so much! You really were a huge hit at my step-Dad's 94th birthday party. As you know, he himself was a very prolific and successful artist. Although his Dad wouldn't pay for art school and he became an architect, he continued painting all his life. While at University of Pennsylvania, he would sketch caricatures to earn extra money. When he saw your caricature of me from the Chabad Purim party, he LOVED it so much I decided to surprise him by having you at his b'day party. BTW, I felt like you captured the REAL me, at least the way I picture myself! Awesome! Everyone was absolutely thrilled! It was a lovely memento for what I fear will be Poppi's last birthday. I was especially impressed by how my grandchildren sat so still when you were sketching them and were fascinated watching you sketch their mothers. Thanks! Rest assured I am singing your praises and showing my friends and co-workers the pictures of the caricatures I photographed on my cell phone. Don't be surprised if my friends call you! My housemate says your drawings look like early Picasso's! Next party I'll be calling you again! Shulamit read more

We had Zach attend our daughter's birthday party, and I have to say he was the Highlight of our party!! He rocked! He is wonderful person, awesome to work with. And he is simply amazing in his work! We had thought of getting caricatures done for just children, but adults wanted their done too! He was so popular that I had to extend him to 3.5 hours!! And he was very flexible. People were excited and didn't mind waiting for their turn!! ! He was fast too, his work was outstanding! Everyone complimented on his work and took his number from us as they want to have him for their future parties! I would highly higly recommend him as he is the BEST. Thanks Zach!! read more

Zach and his fantastic caracatures were the hit of my son's Bar Mitzvah! The pictures look just like the person and the kids and the adults just loved this as a take home gift! Zach is terrific and so easy to work with...he does each portrait in a few minutes...amazing! I have heard from the Mom's that the kids all have them already hanging in their bedrooms...they love them...it was money well spent! I would recommend Zach to anyone and I hope I have an occasion to use him again in the future...thank you Zach!! It was the hit of the night! read more

We have now hired Zach twice - one for each of our B'nai Mitzvah celebrations. He made a lovely contribution to both parties and everyone loved their portraits. Zach is highly professional and makes all communication easy. He's great with kids and adults! The only problem is that everyone will want a portrait, so be sure you book him for enough hours to get the job done. I cannot recommend him more highly. read more

Zach is the consummate professional! His caricatures are fast, funny, and they capture the essence of the subject perfectly. I refer him every chance I get. The images say it all, take a look at his website and see for yourself. read more

Zach did caricatures at our June wedding. He was so pleasant to work with and, compared to other caricaturists in the area that I looked at, his prices were extremely reasonable. He responded to my e-mails quickly. He brought paper with our wedding date printed on it and plastic covers for guests to carry their pictures home in. At the wedding I anticipated a few guests getting pictures drawn here and there, however, there was a line the whole time that Zach was there! People were so excited to get their pictures done and we got so many compliments on how much fun people had and how much they appreciated the memento to take home. His drawings were excellent and he took the time to add certain details to make them even more special. At the end of the night Zach was kind enough to stay long enough to finish up the last couples. Afterward he sent me some photos that he had taken of some of our guests holding their caricatures. I didn't know he had taken these but they were such a lovely surprise! I would highly recommend Zach for weddings or other parties! He did a great job! read more

Zach was a great addition to our company party. He was extremely thorough and clear during the planning process (making it easy for an inexperienced party planner) and he arrived on time and fully prepared. Everyone crowded around him, both to admire his work and to wait for their turns. He was also very flexible and was able to accommodate our request to stay a bit longer so that all who wanted a sketch was able to receive one. I highly recommend Zach; he is talented, pleasant, and professional. read more

We recently had Zach attend our daughter's 5th birthday party and draw all of her girlfriend's caricatures. The girls all loved it, and went home with a fantastic memory. We just peeled off one girl at a time while everyone else was playing, eating, etc., and he was fantastic, not only as an artist but he had a great manner with the girls. We scheduled enough time for him to draw the parents and siblings too, and we loved all of his work. Thank you Zach! We would recommend him highly to anyone else considering this for a children's party, or any party! read more

I had a great experience with Zach. I needed to find several artists for a corporate event and in addition to sketching at the event, Zach provided referrals to other artists so that the event would be successful. He is the consummate professional - easy to work with, very talented, arrived on time, brought all of his own equipment, and the fastest sketcher of the bunch. Of the caricature artists that I worked with, i would say that Zach was heads and shoulders above the group. Everyone loved his caricatures and he was the clear favorite of all the guests. Don't get me wrong - the others were very good too and I needed the group of them to ensure that lines moved quickly and that all of our guests had a great time. Because of his talent, the ease of doing business with him, and the way cordial and friendly way he interacted with the guests, I would work with him again in a heartbeat. read more

I hired Zach for my husband's 50th surprise birthday party and was very pleased with his work and professionalism. He was easy to contact and his fees were very reasonable. He came early to set up and was so patient with my 40 guests. Everyone loved their caricatures as they were so dead on in details. It was a great decision for me to hire Zach! read more

I was part of the team responsible for having Zach do his iPad caricatures at our company open house last weekend. Very professional, even looks the part of an artist. He caught the staff as well as their vsiting families to a 't', that day, doing it all with just his finger (!) Never seen anything like it..... read more
