Live Wedding Caricature Entertainment
I bring a unique spark to your wedding celebrations, from lively Haldi and Sangeet functions to the main reception. My live caricatures act as a fantastic icebreaker and provide a personalized party favor your guests will actually want to keep.

About Weddings & Pre-Wedding Fun
If you are planning a large function like a Sangeet or a reception with over 75 guests, I highly recommend opting for my dual-artist team package. It keeps the waiting time short so your friends and family spend their time enjoying the festivities rather than standing in a queue, while still ensuring everyone gets a high-quality hand-drawn sketch to take home.
Making Your Wedding Interactive
Weddings can be long affairs where guests from different sides of the family might not know each other well. Setting up a live caricature station is a simple way to get people talking and laughing. Whether it is a colorful Haldi function or a sophisticated evening reception, my sketches add a layer of personal entertainment that keeps the energy high.
How the Process Works
I show up with my portable easel, drawing board, and professional art supplies. For weddings, I generally offer two styles to suit your event pace:
- Standard B&W Sketches: These are quick, punchy, and perfect for high-volume crowds. Each sketch takes just a few minutes, allowing me to cover 35 to 45 guests in a 3-hour session. I use high-quality cardstock and permanent markers, so the ink doesn't smudge.
- Premium Color Caricatures: If you want something more elaborate for a smaller, intimate guest list, I can provide full-color sketches using brush pens and pastels. These are highly detailed and work beautifully as return gifts.
Logistics & Planning
I am Pune-based but happy to travel across Maharashtra and the rest of India for your celebrations. If you book my team, we coordinate everything so you do not have to worry about the setup or crowd management. We bring everything needed, including clear sleeves to protect the artwork so your guests can carry their portraits home without damage. If you have a specific event hashtag or logo you want printed on the paper footer, just let me know in advance and I can arrange that for the color packages.
Philip Mathew
I am Philip, and I have been sketching live caricatures at weddings and parties since 2012. I love the buzz of a crowded Sangeet or Haldi, and there is nothing better than seeing a guest crack up when they see their fun, exaggerated portrait for the first time.
