A live caricaturist in United States draws cartoon-style sketches of guests during cocktail hour or the reception, finishing each one in 3-5 minutes. Most artists work through 10-15 faces per hour for black-and-white sketches, slightly fewer for full colour or group drawings, which makes throughput planning straightforward for events of any size.
A small table, two armless chairs and around 5x8ft of space is enough for a single artist. They bring their own paper, pencils and easel, and can email digital files to guests after the event if you book a tablet-based caricaturist instead of a traditional one. For longer receptions or larger guest lists, booking two artists side by side keeps the queue moving and avoids the disappointment of guests missing out.
Rates for caricaturists in United States range from $75 to $550+ per hour, with most artists requiring a two- or three-hour minimum. The average booking price is $200. Faster artists, full-colour work, digital tablet sketches and personalised event branding sit at the higher end of the range, while shorter bookings or off-peak dates can land lower.
The average price for Caricaturists available in United States is $200 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Happy Entertainment Party Productions
"Katherine B. - "I wanted to write a review about Marilyn Monroe. She came to our home to sing for my husband’s birthday party last night and did an amazing job! She is so beautiful, more so in person than in her photos! The photos on the site don't do her justice! Her demeanor and appearance was what you would expect the real Miss Monroe to have been. Her voice was lovely and her mannerisms were spot on. No one knew she was coming so when she walked in the door all jaws dropped! I am so happy with her performance and couldn't be happier that she made my husband’s birthday so special! Thank you Miss Monroe!"
Exaggerated Entertainment
"I booked Exaggerated Entertainment for a family friendly Oktoberfest. This company was so easy to work with and very personable. They answered all my questions in a timely manner. I had never booked something like this before, and they were so helpful. Chris was our caricaturist and he was amazing. Great drawings and great comments from our patrons. I highly recommend booking them!"
