See all

We hired Cara for a birthday party and we were beyond happy we chose her. She is incredibly talented, and everyone was so pleased with their caricatures. I would love to have another event and hire her again. We followed her advice on her website and everyone hung up their caricatures around the room and it made it extra fun. And then everyone remembered to take their custom art home with them at the end of the night. read more

We hired Adam from Cara Dunning Art for my wedding and he did a great job! Our guests loved getting their caricatures done and bring their pictures placed in the plastic sleeves home! We chose Gold Package which includes bordered paper with customized logo and message. It was fun, special and memorable and provided entertainment options for our guests during the reception. I also want to thank Denise who helped me decide on the package, set up contract and payment options for me and connected me with Adam. She is very kind and easy to work with! I felt comfortable and happy to sign up with Cara Dunning Art after talking with Denise. I truly enjoyed working with her. Many thanks to Cara Dunning Art for making our wedding day extra special! read more

The caricatures were amazing - participants were very impressed with their images. In addition, everyone really enjoyed talking with Cara. On the business side - Cara's communications were prompt and thorough. Cara arrived on time, set-up promptly, and created images quickly without the participants feeling rushed. Everyone really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend! read more

Cara did some great art at my uncle's birthday. She did some amazing work even when people were crowding around her and was stuck in a small place! She was excellent with the little kids too who were asking her all sorts of questions about her work. Throughout the party, she did her best to make sure the hosts got what they wanted and tried to get everyone their own fantastic caricature. I highly recommend her for any event! read more

Cara did an amazing job on our wedding caricature. We used it as our wedding invitation and it was such a hit. We also had her group come to our wedding to draw caricatures for the evening. Denise was our coordinator and she is phenomenal. She is responsive, professional, and so accommodating. She scheduled our caricature for our wedding and kept me informed and updated me whenever possible. Our caricature artist was Markus. He is so fun to work with and our guest loved him so much we kept him the whole evening. He was engaging and accomodating. Thank you for being so amazing during this stressful time. read more

I am a Wedding Planner with Storybook Weddings and Events here in Chicago, and I was so happy to work with Cara on a wedding this past summer. Not only was her artwork fantastic, but she was very easy to work with. We had to reposition her on our floorplan because of the space as well as the sunshine beaming down on us, and she worked with us. I would highly recommend hiring her to do caricatures. And I hope to work with her again! Thank you, Cara! - Lindsay read more

We hired Cara and her associate to work at my son's bar mitzvah party. She is so talented and simply fantastic, and she works extremely hard. All of our guests really enjoyed this aspect of our party- people were lined up all evening. Some people sat for their drawing individually, and some in groups. Their caricatures were such a fun take-home gift. I would highly recommend Cara for your event. We hope to work with her again. read more

Setting things up was super easy but rain postponed our event so I can't speak to Cara's skill. $150 deposit lost, but no one's fault.

We hired Cara as a caricature artist for our November wedding and I cannot rave enough about her services! Our guests totally loved getting their pictures done and it was a perfect souvenir for our friends/family to take home with them. She also did an awesome color version of myself and my husband for us to keep. She was very professional and great to work with. Her services were a perfect way to add a unique touch to our wedding! read more

Her work is incredible and my wife and I wished that we booked her for longer than we did during our wedding. She was on time, professional, and fun! read more

Cara was at an event the ended at a certain time. Told the line that she wouldn't be taking anymore people after a certain one because the event would be over soon, and we understood. Then after the person she states was last was done with their session with her, she still accepted a group of 3 women! When confronted she shrugs and says that's just the way it is sometimes.... Really? Can't see her doing a wedding in a time crunch or an event with anymore that 10ppl. Terrible customer service and horrible attitude towards potential clients. read more
