Roving Artist

We had Charles at our work event last week. All I can say is wow. We was all gob smacks how talented he was! If I had known about him sooner I would of had him at our wedding. Your work is incredible.

Charles was fantastic at our wedding in October 2019 - so professional, saw everyone on the day and has such an amazing talent. We would highly recommend him.

The talent and skill of Charles cannot be put into words. Nearly all of our guests has posted pictures on social networks of their silhouettes saying the Charles and his skill are the most unique, clever and amazing thing they have seen. To do them so quick with just paper and scissors is so impressive. The giclée print we ordered of ourselves and our guest looks amazing and because Charles talent is so unique, made our wedding even more special. The feedback on what a nice guy he is and the fact he did not stop until he got everyone, a just a few reasons that I strongly recommend you have him at your event. Thank you, Charles, and the Roving Artist company for making our day even more fantastic.

Hired for our wedding day - people really enjoyed having their silhouettes cut on the day.Since then it has been lovely to see the finished pieces around our friends and family's houses - lots of them have been framed and are up on shelves as they make such an interesting talking point.Easy to deal with and delivered everything as promised - I couldn't recommend Charles highly enough.

Highly recommend!We secured Charles’s services late on in planning our wedding and we are so pleased we did. Charles worked the room well for almost 100 guests, creating his incredible silhouettes and dazzling everyone with his skill.The proof of the final print with all of our guests on was provided quickly afterwards and Charles was even able to add our baby nephew who was too wriggly on the day.

Charles was a star as soon as he walked into our wedding. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how talented he is and how unique the beautiful portraits were. Such a fun personal idea for a wedding and is perfect with all of the covid restrictions as he does it from 2 metres away! An amazing idea for an event and is very classy!!

As I approach another birthday, I realise that I had not submitted my review of The Roving Artist, Charles Burns who made my birthday party a night to remember.I was first introduced to Charles and his fabulous silhouettes in December 2014 at a Christmas work do. Whilst chatting with colleagues Charles presented me with a full-length silhouette. I had no idea he was doing this. I promised myself that I would find the opportunity to book Charles so that my friends could witness his amazing talent.October 2019 I would be celebrating my 60th birthday and decided to make it a bit of do and knew straight away that Charles would need to be at my party. I was so happy when Charles confirmed that he would be able to attend as I know his services are in demand.The day came and Charles arrived early to familiarise himself with the venue. During the reception, dinner and dancing he worked the room creating his silhouettes, full length, couples, family groups and the popular portrait. At first the guest didn’t realise what he was doing, but witnessing their reactions when he showed them the silhouette and then presenting it to them on the card was the highlight of my evening. Soon the room was buzzing as guests couldn’t wait to show off their silhouettes.The whole booking process and aftercare was great. I had guest leave early and therefore missed getting a silhouette. No problem; Charles was able to produce a beautiful silhouette from a photograph. As a lasting memento I took up the option of having a print of all the silhouettes taken on the night plus those cut via a photo.Charles is an absolute master of his craft and booking The Roving Artist was worth every penny. A year on, my friends are still commenting on their silhouettes.I recommend The Roving Artist as they provide a unique service.Jenny

My sister organised Taz for our wedding as a surprise to us and we couldn’t possibly explain how our jaws dropped at how absolutely brilliant she was cutting out all of our guests! Not only was the artwork amazing and just out of this world, but Taz was more than dedicated to get everyone done, she exceeded all expectations and it was fabulous having her.According to my sister the communication with the whole crew leading up to the wedding was flawless and super straight forward and there was no troubles at all.We were delighted and amazed, our guests loved it beyond words (as it really is a special takeaway!) and the art is just simply outstanding!!! Thank you Taz for capturing the shadows of this wonderful day in an even more magic way! Thanks for everything!!! (Now one of our friends want to use the silhouettes as their wedding invite and it’s such an honour!)FANTASTIC art work and unforgettable!! Thanks a mill!! ♥️

Charles was the talk of our reception! His work was amazing, and everyone was fascinated in how much their silhouettes looked like them, and how quickly he did them! If you are looking for something a little bit different for your wedding I would definitely recommend using The Roving Artist!

Charles was such a big hit at our wedding - probably one of the most talked about elements! He was great at interacting with our guests and a pleasure to work with throughout. We particularly love the full-length silhouette he cut of the two of us and can't wait to display it at home
