We booked Linda to create illustrations at our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made. She was instrumental in making our day so special. Linda was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, answering all questions that I had. She is so friendly and welcoming, and our guests really enjoyed sitting with her while she created their illustrations. Her illustrations are unique, beautifully personal and made such wonderful keepsakes. Many of our guests have since had them framed and displayed in their homes. Even now, people still mention what a fantastic feature Linda was on our wedding day. We didn't have time on the day but she is going to do our illustration from a photo and we can not wait to see it. We can’t thank Linda enough for being part of our special day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to add something memorable to their day.

Linda was absolutely fabulous from day one. Her level of communication was unbelievable, she gave so much detail and had all questions answered before we could even ask them. She was consistently on the ball with everything. The illustrations she did for our family and friends were gorgeous and everyone really enjoyed getting them done! We really couldn't recommend Linda more for anyone's wedding, she was next to none!!! 5 stars all around!

Linda is such a welcome addition to a wedding day. She is lovely, the picture are a fantastic keepsake. Our guests kept coming to us to thank us when they realised that Linda was our gift to them.
We knew she would be a hit and we were so delighted with how excited the guests were to get their pictures done also.

Linda was part of our day on 16th February 2023 in Ballymagarvey Village and our guests have not stopped talking about her since! Linda is so professional and incredibly talented at what she does and was a joy to have as part of our special day. As the guests were called to dinner, we had a chance to catch our breath and she was able to illustrate us which was amazing. Everyone commented on what a nice touch it was to have an illustrator present and anyone who got their picture drawn was delighted with the end result. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Linda to anyone!

Linda drew our wedding guests at Tinakilly in December 2022 (having postponed 3 times from August 2020). From the very first email, her communication was amazing and she was so accommodating with all of our date changes. Our guests absolutely adored her and thought that having a drawing of themselves was such an amazing keepsake from the day. Linda is SO talented and her drawings were incredible. She is also just a really lovely person and very kindly offered to draw myself and my husband after the original date and send it on, as we just didn't get time to sit down with her and get a drawing done on the day! Cannot recommend her enough, if I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I was delighted with Linda was available for our wedding. Linda is very professional and the quality of her work is exceptional. I was looking for something different to entertain our guests at at the reception and this worked perfectly! Linda was such a lovely addition at our wedding and is still one of the highlights from our day when we speak with our friends. It is lovely seeing the beautiful illustrations when we meet them. It was lovely working with Linda as she was so prompt in responding to my emails and sending over the designs. It is such a beautiful touch for a wedding as the guests have lovely personalised keepsakes from the day!

After meeting Linda at a wedding we were at in December 2019, I knew I?d love to have her at our wedding. Her illustrations are so perfect! We framed ours & it's up on our wall. I know that most of our guests, who were illustrated, have also framed theirs. It's such a personal touch & a lovely momento to have from your wedding day.
Linda was extremely accommodating & helpful as to what time etc we should start at & always got back to me promptly.
I would highly recommend Linda!

Linda was an absolute dream to work with! She was very quick to respond to inquires and any question that we had and was very clear with what to expect on the wedding day. Our guests are still raving about the illustrations they had done and we had the best time looking at each persons illustration. Everyone looked so perfect and her illustration style is amazing. We loved that she was willing to take a picture of us and illustrate us after the wedding so we could enjoy the party. I am so grateful we found Linda and I cannot recommend her enough!

Linda was outstanding from start to finish and was so helpful and professional. we had to postpone a few time and she sent us a lovely card which was total unexpected and very thoughtful. Her illustrations added such a lovely touch to the day and our guests were raving about them. She also did an illustration of me and my mum in advance, I gave it to my mum as a gift on the day. If you want to add an extra touch to your day that your guests will remember then you have to book Linda.

Linda was one of the first suppliers I booked when we set our first date back in 2019 as I knew I wanted her to be at our wedding - I just loved her style and originality, I had never seen anything like her work before at a wedding. We had some up's and downs with rescheduling and cancellations and rebooking new dates and Covid restrictions but in the end we found out a week before our date that Linda would be allowed, through all these ups and downs Linda was a true professional and nothing was an issue. On the day Linda was fabulous and our guests loved their personalised keepsake and we now have another fab piece of Linda's artwork to hang in our home! Would 100% recommend her for future brides and grooms for something different at their weddings!

She was a dream to deal with throughout the whole process, always responsive to any questions.
Our guests *loved* her. Everyone was talking about her talent and how much they loved her illustrations. In the weeks following the wedding it’s so lovely to visit friends and family and see her illustrations displayed in pride of place. They are such a lovely memento for people to have.
Linda also did a specific portrait of us from a photo (we didn’t have time on the day) and it is absolutely gorgeous. She made a special effort to illustrate the detail on my wedding dress and we couldn’t be happier with it. The happy memories just come flooding back when we look at it! Thanks for everything Linda!
