Real Stories – How We’ve Saved Events
Wedding in London
A bride contacted us on the morning of her wedding after her booked caricaturist cancelled. Within three hours, a digital artist was set up at her venue. Guests received branded caricatures by email before the night ended.
Corporate Event in Birmingham
When an artist no-showed at a product launch, we had a replacement digital caricaturist on-site that evening. They produced live branded caricatures, which were shared instantly with attendees.
Birthday Party in Manchester
When heavy snow kept the original artist away, we dispatched a local traditional caricaturist. They arrived within two hours and kept the party smiling all night.

Why We’re Different From Directories
Directories list performers and let you send requests — but when time is critical, you need someone to take charge. At Magical Memories, we:
-
Personally coordinate with artists
-
Handle all logistics
-
Provide backup plans if anything changes
-
Keep you updated until the caricaturist arrives at your venue
