"Ivor was excellent, he really made the day special. The majority of my guests were able to take a picture home and it will always remind them of our wedding. Ivor was also happy to stay for a extra hour!
I am so happy we decided to have him for our entertainment.
Everybody loves caricatures. They can bring a smile to the face of any jaded cynic. As presents they are personal and unique, as entertainment they are fun and leave lasting memories and as promotional items they make a big impression. The great thing about caricatures is that they can be used just about anywhere - from Christmas cards to leaving presents - and that their cost can be tailored to your budget.
Ivor is unique in that he flatters people in his caricatures. He is like a cosmetic surgeon without the pain or the price. In just five minutes he executes a makeover of his subject and takes years off their age as well as a few pounds off their figure (if they need it). It's no wonder Ivor has been commissioned by the Houses of Parliament to draw some senior political figures. You too will look absolutely fabulous when captured by Ivor's pen; its no wonder he's in such demand when it comes to weddings. Accept no substitutes, demand Ivor for your function!
Weddings
This is becoming more and more popular. For those times when very little is happening in the proceedings or during the meal, a live caricaturist can entertain the guests and leave them with a cherished memento of the day. Caricatures of the bride and groom can also be done for the wedding stationery. They can either supply just the illustration or handle all the printing for you as well. BEWARE; some caricaturists exaggerate the features of the sitter in a grotesque manner, Ivor's style is to capture a likeness in a flattering style. A black and white drawing takes only five minutes on an A4 sheet of card.
Corporate Dinners
Gain extra kudos for your event with a live caricaturist who entertains the guests during pre-dinner drinks and through dinner. Drawings can be done on letter headed notepaper so that when they are framed, faxed or put onto some intranet the client or event is still being promoted. Ivor's style is perfectly suited for corporate events - no one is ever offended. Pre-specified backgrounds can also be used to tie in with any themed event. A black and white drawing takes only five minutes on an A4 sheet of card.
Caricature portraits of the bride and groom on your stationery will make your wedding invitations unique and fun. Obtain your caricature stationery direct from us, designed to your specification. See our price guide below for examples. We make what you want so please contact us to discuss your stationery ideas.
Each caricature takes approximately 5 minutes to draw so in a three hour
session about 40 caricatures can be done.

The night went really well - the artist was very good and the DJ was very accommodating. He organised the music I chose really well and worked with me to get the surprise just right. There were a lot of compliments! Thanks for your efforts - will definitely use Alive Network again.

"Hello Gemma,
Yes thank you we had a great day even thought it tipped it down. The feedback that I have had from our guest was very positive. Everyone who had a drawing done was really pleased. For a wedding it was great as it was something a little bit different, well the day was a little bit different which is exactly what I had hoped for! He is also very complimentary too!
Thanks
Ruth"

"Hi Gemma
We had a wonderful wedding day, part of which is down to the excellent service provided by you and the talented, friendly artists that you recommended for us.
Ivor the Artist was a very definite hit with our guests during the drinks reception. We lost count of the number of caricatures he drew, but it was well over a dozen flattering and recognizable drawings of guests young and old, from the mothers of the bride and groom to the page boys.
Performance then entertained us with an absolutely fantastic acoustic set during our wedding breakfast. This really was one of the highlights of my day. Later we danced away to their top class amplified set. In addition the band were wonderfully accommodating, adapting their second set to fulfil requests from me and my mum. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic the band were.
I'd thoroughly recommend the artists to others and the service received from Alive Network in making our wedding day a truly special day.
Regards, and thanks again for your help,
Jo"

"Good Morning Gemma
You must by psychic; I was just going to send you an e-mail to thank you for your assistance with organising the event. I cannot believe how quick and easy it was dealing with you, your input at the time that the bookings were made together with pre event reminders and artist contact gave me a real feeling of comfort that everything would go to plan, and it did.
The evening went really well and was enjoyed by all that attended. For a change at these events I didn't get a single complaint. The two caricaturists worked really well together and the Bee Gees music was enjoyed by all.
Once again, thanks for your help, I will definitely contact you again next year
Regards
