Posted on Alice GaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic - 10/10 would recommend! I was specifically looking for someone who might be able to do sketches in the Quentin Blake style for our wedding and was absolutely thrilled to find Jana. Her communication up until the day was clear, prompt and very professional and she made the booking process very easy for us. On the day she blew everybody away with her guest sketches - definitely one of the main highlights of the wedding and enjoyed thoroughly by everyone. She worked unbelievably hard on the day and her portraits were incredible - she captured the style perfectly and it was very clear who was who! I loved her art so much that I commissioned a few extra portraits from the day afterwards and am so excited to see them. Her rates for her skill were very reasonable and incredibly competitive and she was even willing to travel to London for our wedding. Would 100% recommend for any occasion!Posted on Julia CockerhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jana was wonderful! Her artistic skills managed to capture everyone we love at the wedding and make memories we are going to treasure forever. So many people complimented the unique idea and even more thought her paintings were beautiful.Posted on Charlotte SeabrookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked Jana to sketch at our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. The sketches are absolutely beautiful and incredibly lifelike. She captured some lovely moments of us and our guests, and guests really enjoyed looking at the display and watching Jana sketch live during the reception. Such a lovely person to speak to throughout the booking process and on the day, can't recommend Jana enough!Posted on Katie DunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jana was absolutely incredible! Her sketches are completely gorgeous and I am so so glad that we decided to ask her to sketch our Wedding Day. The album is such a beautiful reminder of the day and I can't thank her enough, I'm so so pleased. She was brilliant on the day, really friendly and kind but also very subtle and fit in to the day perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone!Posted on Victoria HewittTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jana’s work is not only stunning, it’s also incredibly lifelike - which we were so impressed by! She blended into our wedding seamlessly and all our guests enjoyed watching her sketching during the drinks reception. Jana also offered us the option of sending a couple of photos from the evening for her to sketch following the wedding which was a lovely addition within the package we booked.Would highly recommend!Posted on Becci WallsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wedding sketching was the perfect addition to our wedding day. It was such a unique way to capture the day and our guests loved it as much as we did. Communication prior to the big day was excellent and Jana was fabulous on the day. We couldn't recommend highly enough.Posted on Laura FisherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got married at Orchardleigh House on 01.09.24 and Jana was absolutely incredible. Not only did she put together personalised table sketches of important places for us, but she also live sketched our big day. Her drawings are stunning - our guests were blown away. She's already given us 7 incredible sketches within 48 hours and we cannot wait to see the rest of the album! I cannot recommend her highly enough and think she is unlike any other wedding sketch artist I have seen. I wouldn't hesitate to book her for your big day to capture another unique aspect. From a very happy couple! Laura and Neil xPosted on S TinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jana came and sketched at our wedding over the weekend and I cannot sing her praises enough! She has done incredible sketches already and I have received so many compliments from my wedding guests. She did around 6-7 on the day and is due to send me a scrapbook with even more. Jana did a zoom call with me before the wedding to go through which moments and which guests we would want captured. She is really quick at replying to emails and really lovely. Really worth the money!Posted on hannah jamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly the best thing we booked for our wedding - if you’re considering booking PLEASE DO! She deserves to be fully booked Jana was an incredible addition and so attentive with the sketches. The guests loved watching her work and the on the day sketches captured every moment we wanted. Jana is great with communication and listens to what you want to get out of your sketches. The online album makes sharing the art super easy but the hand made album is the best part to receive through the post! Wish I could give more than 5* her art is just beautiful!Posted on Holly WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I had to recommend just one thing to get for your wedding it would be this. Unique, special and fascinating to see the sketches come to life. Jana is brilliant and got on with sketching without disrupting anyone, and the ones done on the day were beautifully displayed as the day went on - everyone stopped to stare at them. Captured the essence of a moment perfectly and you can easily tell who is who. She even went the extra mile and put my dad (who is deceased) into a fishing boat on the lake in the background of one of ours, using an old photo I had. The finished album is beautifully put together and I think my favourite thing we have from our wedding!Load more

We just wanted to reach out to say a heartfelt thank you from both me and Josh for your fantastic sketching and painting at our wedding on Friday, it was the most phenomenal day and everyone said it was the most amazing thing they’d seen at a wedding before!
Amy and Josh, Venue: Orchardleigh HouseClient FeedbackThe painting is now hanging in pride of place. I love it so so much, every time I walk past it i look at it and am so amazed at what you managed to capture. Thank you, it is so special 🙂
Holly (oil painting)Client FeedbackJana is truly brilliant – she was so incredibly popular at our wedding with portraits and our guests all commented how fun and unique it was!
Right from the first contact Jana was easy to communicate with, responsive and flexible with her timings. She explained clearly the different types of sketches and how she does them, which made for seamless execution on the day that fitted perfectly with the venue. The digital portraits were a huge hit, because guests could have their copy right away to download.
She has a wonderful ability to blend in with the crowd and has a skilled eye for moments to sketch – she even got a sketch of me having my makeup done and my make up artist cried at how beautiful it was!
You can tell Jana is so passionate about what she does, and I know she’s still working hard after the wedding as new portrait sketches become available.
If you’re looking for incredible value for money, for something your guests will continue to talk about that also gives you amazingly unique keepsakes, do not hesitate to book Jana
Thank you so much again!Emily & SteveHitched reviewBeautiful Pictures!
I booked Jana for my daughter’s wedding at the end of 2023.
I am just so glad that I did because the sketches have captured the day so perfectly! Not just drawings of people, but somehow capturing the whole essence of the day. The guests that did appear in the drawings have been delighted to have a picture of themselves of this quality!
Ruth R.On Hitched.comWe are still in our honeymoon bubble so haven’t had a chance to thank everyone properly yet but we are so grateful for all your hard work both before, during and after our wedding. You were wonderful and our guests loved seeing the sketches!! Can’t thank you enough for making our day special. I’m sorry we couldn’t talk more on the day.
Oscar & Lucy, Venue: Coombe LodgeClient FeedbackJust wanted to say thank you so so much for the drawings you have sent us so far, they are beyond what we dreamt of and we can’t wait to see the rest. We loved having you be part of our special day, one of our favorite parts!
Annabel, Venue: Mark ChurchClient FeedbackJana has been a pleasure to work with from the start of our journey. Her attention to detail is so impressive, capturing our story beautifully from start to finish. Jana’s style is discreet and unobtrusive and I loved that we could see her work live time throughout the day on the pop up display that was personalised to our wedding colours. It was a lovely talking point for our guests as they spotted themselves being captured on paper. The end result is our one of a kind handbound original keepsake album that we will treasure for years to come and share with our family and friends. I would highly recommend Jana for anyone wishing to have their story created in this special way.
Amy, venue: Orchardleigh EstateClient FeedbackI just wanted to say thank you for our beautiful wedding album. The sketches are absolutely stunning and captured so many precious parts of our day.
Whenever somebody talks to us about the wedding you are always mentioned- everybody always comments how talented you are and how gorgeous the sketches are.SophieThank you so so much again for Sunday!
I hope you enjoyed the day yourself and got some amazing photos to be able to create some more amazing pieces from the day. Everyone was amazed and very impressed by your work and we cannot wait to see the finished products.
Alex & Danielle, Venue: Stanton Manor, ChippenhamClient FeedbackThank you so so much for being part of our special day! All the guests loved you! It’s such a lovely touch to the day. The sketches are beautiful! We can’t wait to see the rest.
Caz & Jack, Venue: Quantock Lakes Wedding VenueClient FeedbackThank you so much for coming to our wedding! You are unbelievably talented and many, many guests commented on how beautiful your sketches were! Infact, I’ve given your details to about 5 people now!
Hannah, venue: The Oaks Holiday Park, Looe, CornwallClient FeedbackI would suggest to anyone who wants to find a unique, creative and beautiful wedding gift to look no further than to commission Jana Forsyth to make a personalised wedding sketch album of the special occasion. Jana attended my son’s wedding garden party reception and produced the most wonderful album of sketches recording the day. My son and new daughter in law were thrilled to bits with the result because it was so unusual and it captured the feel and movement of the day in a way which photographs don’t. This album is going to become a very treasured possession.
