Review by Ted M.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 4, 2016•From Hyattsville, MD

Mr. Edwards arrived late for set which he explained was due to traffic. Mr. Edwards arrived sick to the point it alarmed the guest. He explained that he had the flu. I would had rather that he cancelled his services. During the event, there were occasions that he, again, walked away sick that gave further alarm to the guest. At the end of the night, I was presented payment at which time, Mr. Edwards handed me an invoice that was more than what had been presented to me over the past three months. Mr. Edwards claimed that he had emailed an invoice to me and later admitted that he may not have sent it to me. I was disappointed with the overall services provided.

After making a deposit with George in February - he didn't respond to any of the five emails I sent prior to the party. While he did show on time his attitude offended my planners and guests. Several parents called after the party stating how disappointed they were with his service. He also demanded his pay in front of my guests - one parent left afterwards. In the future, I hope he realizes that attitude is KEY. His behavior put a huge damper on my baby's party and I do not appreciate it at all!

Community Event•Reviewed on July 22, 2017•From Jefferson, MD

I rated Mr. Edwards the lowest possible because he did not show up for our event. When we called, he had marked his calendar for the wrong date. We had 50 disappointed girls at a girl scout camp who did not get to take home a keepsake that we were hiring Mr. Edwards for. I understand mistakes happen, but we were relying on a hired professional for our event.

We had a 3rd birthday party for our daughter this past Saturday. George was there early to set up, and stayed to accommodate all party guests. He is very friendly and talented! We would definitely recommend George!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 21, 2017•From Phoenixville, PA

We booked George for our wedding reception of 50 people. He was there for 4 hours and drew 21 people. He was professional and his work was good but he was a little slow, took at least 10 mins per person.

I always say I am mainly an entertainer, I tell them when asked beforehand about how long it takes me that it is 10 minutes to do one and I don't work by giving a "quota" number I will adhere to by the end of the night. Weddings are not like they used to be, nice calm affairs. Now days I HAVE to wear eaplugs when the DJ turns up the hip hop music it is so loud my eardrums make static sounds like they are breaking. I have to wear earplugs. I can only communicate with clients by writing notes it is so loud. People drink while posing, turning and talking to people, etc. It is the most difficult way to have to draw a picture, and a fast one is almost impossible.

Sweet 16 Party•Reviewed on December 4, 2016•From Woodbury, NJ

George was amazing! He arrived early and made sure every guest received a drawing. He is very talented and took time to ensure details which represented each guest shined through in the drawings. I highly recommend him for any event and will definitely use him again in the future.

George was meticulous with his drawings; he spoke with everyone, and everyone was thrilled with their caricatures.

George is a very talented caricaturist and did an awesome job with our guest caricature.

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 20, 2018•From Reisterstown, MD

George's artwork was good. Unfortunately, he was not very personable. He did not seem well but he kept saying he was fine. He constantly had to "take a minute" to prepare.. Interesting experience that I would not want again.

Mr. Edwards was great almost all my guest received caricatures even some older kids an adults. He made them all doggies to go with my paw patrol theme ( he even accomodated those who didnt want doggies) and he signed them all "Thanks for Coming to my Pawty" lol. He was definitely a hit for my sons 2nd birthday party.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 27, 2017•From Baltimore, MD

George is a true talent! Our wedding guests could not stop raving about his caricatures and what a unique idea it was to have an artist draw at our reception! George patiently took his time to ask each guest/couple about themselves so he could personalize each piece. Several people said that while George definitely achieved the comic effect you expect from a caricature, he also managed to keep it tasteful and even flattering in some cases! My only regret was that we didn't have more time - George drew for 4 hours straight (and graciously offered to stay overtime) but could not get to all of our interested guests, including the B&G. Overall, I highly recommend George!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 5, 2017•From Gaithersburg, MD

George phoned me before the event to get all the information. He was early and set-up on time. George's caricatures were a big hit with everyone at the party, all ages. He even stayed 5 mins late to finish a caricature of me and my wife as I was busy hosting all night. Overall very good job and would recommend.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 17, 2020•From Cherry Hill, NJ

George Was Late. He came from Baltimore in an un airconditioned truck. He was dehydrated and needed medical attention from my guests. He hung around an hour before starting. He did stay an extra hour to make up time, but seemed disappointed he was not paid for 4. When the event was over, he did not want to leave and hung around inside and in his truck finally. We were so concerned we called the police to assess him. Upon hearing this he left quickly

There was an accident on Interstate 95 which stopped traffic, it was unavoidable. The client did not seem to understand that and gave me a hard time. Yes it was over 90 degrees and I needed to work inside in air conditioning. I did complete the job, I was not disappointed in the number of hours, just mentioned it in passing, they misunderstood. I completed the job as usual and went home. The people liked my drawings and I received generous tips for my efforts. I thank them for that.

Celebration•Reviewed on June 8, 2017•From Beltsville, MD

George's services at our wedding were a highlight of the night. His comminication before the event was fast and detailed. His talent shines through and everyone loved him. My wife and I were to occupied to get a picture of ourselves, but every drawing we saw of our guest were spot on. We would recommend him to anyone and will be sure to keep him in mind for future events.
