- Our pricing starts from $225 per hour, with a minimum booking of 3 hours.
- For events in the Sydney CBD, we are happy to accommodate a 2-hour minimum booking for corporate events only.
- We are also open to price matching genuine competitors offering a similar level of quality and experience.
- The actual quote for your event would depend on factors such as the location, duration, and start time. Without these details, we’re unable to provide an accurate quote.
- For events with 60+ guests, the Double Entertainment Package—featuring two professional artists—offers outstanding value.
- This package is specially priced to provide maximum guest coverage, minimise waiting time, and keep the energy high throughout your event, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for everyone.
- If you visit The Rocks Markets, Comic-Con events, or the Bastille Festival Sydney at Circular Quay, you’ll notice that the street price for a live, full-colour caricature typically starts at $80 for a single person and around $140 for a couple—often from less experienced, non-award-winning artists. When you book us to draw live caricatures at your event, our rates are just a fraction of those prices.

Booking & Cancellation Policy
- Once you confirm your booking via email, the date and time are secured exclusively for your event. We lock the date and this time specifically for you and decline other enquiries for that slot made by potential clients. In the event of cancellation for any reason, 20% of the total invoice amount will be charged as a cancellation fee.

If a replacement cannot be arranged, all payments made will be refunded in full.
