Caricatures by Zach!

Had the pleasure of working w/​Zach for my wedding and he was a hit! Both kids and adults couldn’t get enough. Caricatures were sooo cute and looked just like each guest.
He is waaaay better than a photo booth.

The steady five-​star reviews are totally legit! My wife and I also hired Zach for our wedding a few years back. He worked his booty off, doing fantastic work that was so much fun to watch.
Tip to the wedding planners; you might want to hire a wingman to go with Zach. With a couple hundred wedding guests wanting their images drawn, there simply wasn’t enough time for him to get to them all.

This is the second year that I used Zach for my company holiday party. With over 80 guests, Zach was a hit. Everyone loved his caricatures and he had a very long line of eager participants. His demeanor and patience in getting through everyone in the line was most admired. Even when the party was over, he still had 3 more guests in line and he finished them up which results in 30 minutes of overtime. I immediately offered to pay him for the difference and he said it is fine and that he had a great time. I found that to be so awesome and really appreciated his flexibility. Thank you Zach for your professionalism and patience with my group.

I had a great experience with Zach. I needed to find several artists for a corporate event and in addition to sketching at the event, Zach provided referrals to other artists so that the event would be successful. He is the consummate professional — easy to work with, very talented, arrived on time, brought all of his own equipment, and the fastest sketcher of the bunch. Of the caricature artists that I worked with, i would say that Zach was heads and shoulders above the group. Everyone loved his caricatures and he was the clear favorite of all the guests. Don’t get me wrong — the others were very good too and I needed the group of them to ensure that lines moved quickly and that all of our guests had a great time. Because of his talent, the ease of doing business with him, and the way cordial and friendly way he interacted with the guests, I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

We hired Zach for a corporate event last week based on a coworker’s recommendation. He was easy to contact and book, arrived on time, and was very pleasant and professional. Our event had about 100 people and we had several activities, but we were surprised at how popular Zach was. People liked watching him work and he was good with the audience. He was also faster than we expected so everyone who wanted a sketch got one. We would definitely hire him again for other events!

I planned a corporate event and brought in Zach to bring some fun! I will highly recommend him for any type of event. He is extremely professional, helpful and talented! Everyone enjoyed watching him work on the iPad. I hope I get the pleasure of working with him again.
Thanks Zach!

My very first portrait came out so cute! Actually all of our friends’ did. Zach was amazingly fast with his drawings but still was able to capture the characteristics of each person. He carried a great smile throughout and truly seemed to enjoy his work — even in the hot sun.

My fiancé and I hired Zach as a caricaturist during cocktail hour at hour wedding. Prior to the event Zach was prompt when responding to email, he was easy going, and very nice. On the day of the wedding he showed up on time and did an amazing job drawing our friends and family. It’s three days after our wedding and we have heard nothing but great things about Zach!
Zach, thank you for coming to our wedding and entertaining our guests!

We recently had Zach attend our daughter’s 5^th birthday party and draw all of her girlfriend’s caricatures. The girls all loved it, and went home with a fantastic memory. We just peeled off one girl at a time while everyone else was playing, eating, etc., and he was fantastic, not only as an artist but he had a great manner with the girls. We scheduled enough time for him to draw the parents and siblings too, and we loved all of his work. Thank you Zach! We would recommend him highly to anyone else considering this for a children’s party, or any party!

Zach joined us for an event at the Cartoon Art Museum on June 5^th and was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Communicative, responsive, laid back, and professional all at the same time.
He arrived early to the event and was set up well before the doors opened. Guests loved having their portraits drawn, and the next morning Zach sent out an email with a link to a Dropbox folder with all of the art inside.
Definitely would be happy to work with Zach again!

Zach is wonderful! I hired him for my sons 1^st birthday party and the kids and adults LOVED it! They loved him so much I asked him to stay another hour but unfortunately he had another party. I should have initially booked him for 2 hours for the event. He is an AMAZING caricature artist!
Since my sons 1^st birthday party was a Superhero theme, I asked him to draw everyone with Superhero gear and he executed well!
My friends loved him and some are considering on having him at their future parties because his work was so wonderful!
I highly recommend Zach for your next company, birthday, bar mitzvah, wedding party etc. He is wonderful to work and will definitely keep your guests entertained!

Zach is THE BEST! We featured his services at our annual Company Party and we had such positive feedback from our staff. Not only is he extremely professional in his communications and preparation, but he is so friendly and positive in his interactions with our employees & their kids/​families. He puts folks at ease immediately. There was a huge line for people patiently waiting their turn, and a crowd around his table as he drew each portrait. He uniquely captures each person’s actual features unlike other caricature artists we’ve seen. And he gets extra points for wearing a beret. =) I’d recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

Zach is amazing! This review is sooo late since we hired him back in March 2011, but a good review is better late than never!
We hired Zach for our daughter’s 1^st birthday party at a banquet tent with 130 guests. He was such a hit! He was there for 3 hours and the line never stopped. People ate so quicky or ate late so they could stand in line and have their caricature drawn!
My first impression of Zach was that he is a professional. He responded to our inquiry within 24 hours and was very detailed in all his e-​mails. His website is accurate because the quality of his pictures are same as what you get for your guests. What I appreciate the most about Zach is his flexibility and honesty. I was able to talk to him about my budget and expectations without feeling like a cheap skate. He didn’t make me feel uncomfortable as I discussed budget and party details. There was no awkwardness.
My friends LOVED him! They all commented on the quality of his caricatures and how high quality they are. They aren’t those quicky drawings that you may see elsewere. He was friendly to our guests and made a strager staring at them for 3 – 4 minutes bearable.
I highly recommend Zach and I would hire him again for our next party. In fact, he is in my preffered vendors list that I share with friends and family.

Zach was a great addition to our company party. He was extremely thorough and clear during the planning process (making it easy for an inexperienced party planner) and he arrived on time and fully prepared. Everyone crowded around him, both to admire his work and to wait for their turns. He was also very flexible and was able to accommodate our request to stay a bit longer so that all who wanted a sketch was able to receive one. I highly recommend Zach; he is talented, pleasant, and professional.

Zack was awesome! He was definitely a hit at our company event. Every drawing was amazing — he’s able to completely capture someone in just a few strokes, without going too over-​the-​top in exaggerating any features. We ended up having him stay at our event longer due to demand.

We have now hired Zach twice — one for each of our B’nai Mitzvah celebrations. He made a lovely contribution to both parties and everyone loved their portraits. Zach is highly professional and makes all communication easy. He’s great with kids and adults! The only problem is that everyone will want a portrait, so be sure you book him for enough hours to get the job done. I cannot recommend him more highly.

We hired Zach Trenholm for an employee party and I HIGHLY recommend him! Zach was extremely communicative throughout the booking process and very organized and professional… in addition to offering his services at a reasonable rate. We selected the digital caricatures (versus the traditional sketches) because it provided entertainment as Zach’s work on his iPad was projected onto a large screen. He was really able to «capture» each individual in his artwork which was a joy to watch come to life. Plus, with digital, you can access the images online after the fact.
Zach definitely earned his 5 stars based on his quality of work, but if I could add an honorary star, i would. There was such high demand, that, by the time the party was ending, there was still a line of eager employees waiting for their likenesses to be drawn. Zach stayed an additional hour without a second thought… being in a service industry, this was a true testament to Zach’s professionalism and dedication.
Bottom line: For any and all caricature considerations, you will not regret working with Zach.
