We have hired A.E. Kieren for several events from fundraisers to weddings to milestone birthday parties. He’s consistent across the board; from being prepared, punctual, and professional. Anthony has this gift of always disappearing in the crowd to work his magic from any corner of the room.

A couple standout moments…

Once he had a random kid at the event help with handing the subjects their own personal portraits which was fun to watch—from the excitement of the no longer bored kid to the shock and awe of the guest seeing his portrait for the first time.

Second, is how little he needs where most vendors require a lot more. Anthony needs a highboy. That’s it. Oh… and of course it doesn’t hurt the guests find him eye-candy with a side of charm. Hiring A.E. Kieren is a no brainer for any event.

As my husband and I were planning our wedding, one of the things we knew we wanted was something unexpected for our guests to enjoy and A.E. Kieren completely blew us away!

He's a master at his craft and his ability to create such stylish portraits while seamlessly blending in with the crowd was so smooth. I can't begin to tell you how overjoyed our guests were when they were one of the lucky (and unsuspecting) recipients. It made a special day feel all the more special and we're so grateful that A.E. Kieren could be a part of it. Can't recommend him enough!

Anthony was without a doubt the highlight of our welcome party. Guests had no idea he was sketching until he presented them with a drawing, and all of our guests commented it was one of the most unique things they've ever seen at a wedding. It's a super special touch that people can walk away with a memento from the night. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!
