Verified reviews from real couples

Our guests cannot stop talking about how fun and cute having a live illustrator at our wedding was! Amy and Eric were very professional and provided high-level customer service and attention to detail. We originally rented a photobooth from a different vendor but for a few hundred dollars more we decided to give our guests a more unique, elevated, and personalized experience. The process from beginning to end was easy, fun, and exciting.

Deeryhill was absolutely AMAZING!! We hired them to do live illustrating portraits for our wedding guests, and we could not be happier with how the portraits turned out. It was such a fun surprise for our guests and a great gift they can cherish forever! From the start, Amy was super responsive and helpful in helping us pick the right package. She showed us exactly what her portraits would look like by doing a mock illustrator of my husband and I, so that we could feel completely comfortable before our big day. On the day of, everyone was so happy with their portraits. We have both of ours framed! Highly highly recommend them!
