Spot On Tips – Marquees

Having a party, maybe a wedding reception and decided the best venue is a marquee? Hiring a caricaturist too? When booking/hiring a marquee you should always consider the following factors for a successful party.

  • Summer – Does your marquee have air-con? A large white closed sided tent can be stifling in the hot sun, for guests and performers alike.
  • Winter – Does your marquee have lighting? Long winter nights often plunge a marquee into darkness early on and lighting can be essential for diners and performers alike. Perhaps consider independently lit areas such as the bar and dancefloor.
  • Floors – Does your marquee have a false floor, is it steady or wobbly? Wet weather can undermine false floors and create walking/working hazards for guests and artists alike.
  • Weather – Is your marquee robust enough for the British weather? Strong winds, heavy rain and brilliant sunshine are all magnified once inside a marquee and can interrupt proceedings.

Caricaturists need good lighting and a steady footing to draw their walkabout caricatures and often there is no power supply for extra lighting in a marquee, so consider the above points before booking your marquee or your caricaturist.

Good luck with your event and remember to only hire the best caricaturist for your guests!

George has drawn many UK celebrities over the years and a few even posed for snapshots too.

Amanda Holden’s Hen Party

Amanda Holden invited me to entertain at her Hen ‘Pyjama’ Party in 2008, where I met and drew the cast of ‘Cutting It’ (BBC), which included Sarah Parish, Angela Griffin, Sian Reeves, Sally Spode and of course Amanda. How much fun can one guy have in a bedroom full of lovely pyjama-clad ladies? Much fun was had by all and many caricatures were drawn!

“This is a fantastic idea”

This is a fantastic idea to have at your wedding to keep your guests entertained whilst your photographs are done. I’ve come across George now at a couple of weddings and he is brilliant, it’s amazing how in just a few strokes of a pen he can capture a persons essence. And what George doesn’t see is that when he has gone the fun goes on as the guests compare results, then the evening guests get to share the laughter too. Amazing value for money. He has even drawn me and its ‘Spot On’ George!
