The Portrait Wall live caricature wall on a gold framed easel with printed caricatures

Live Digital Caricatures for Weddings and Events in Massachusetts

The Portrait Wall by Oh Snap!

It’s quick and easy, so every guest has the chance to get a digital caricature. Guests scan a code, snap a selfie on their own phone, and watch their portrait get drawn on the framed screen in about a minute. Every portrait prints on the spot, and at the end of the night the wall becomes one guestbook poster of everyone who came.

A GUESTBOOK PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE

Part entertainment, part keepsake

Quick and Easy

Guests join from their own phones and each portrait is drawn on the framed screen in about a minute, so every guest has the chance to get one.

A Print in Hand

Every portrait prints on the spot as a glossy 4×6. Guests also get the digital file on their phone.

A Guestbook You Will Hang

At the end of the night every guest and their message come together on one poster. It is the guestbook you will actually hang, not one that sits in a closet.

HOW IT WORKS

No app, no line, no fuss

1. Scan

Guests scan the QR code on the wall or on your table cards. It opens in their phone’s browser.

2. Snap and Sign

They take a selfie, solo or group, and add a short message and their name.

3. Watch It Drawn

The portrait appears on the framed screen, drawn line by line, with their message in a speech bubble.

4. Take It Home

A 4×6 print comes off our printer, the file goes to their phone, and the wall keeps growing all night.

CHOOSE YOUR STYLE

One selfie, the look that fits your event

One selfie drawn as a caricature, watercolor, ink sketch and oil painted portrait

Caricature, watercolor, ink sketch or oil painted portrait. One style per event keeps the wall cohesive.

SELFIE IN, PORTRAIT OUT

THE KEEPSAKE

When the night ends, every guest is arranged into one guestbook poster with your names, date and a title of your choice. Every package includes the digital guestbook poster. Add the framed 18×24 print, or choose the All Inclusive package, and the guestbook goes straight onto your wall instead of into a closet.

BUILT FOR YOUR EVENT

Weddings, companies and milestone celebrations

Weddings

A guestbook every guest signs, with a portrait and a message you will reread for years. Every photo and message is screened before it reaches the screen, so there are no surprises in front of Grandma.

Corporate Events

An icebreaker with your logo on it. We match your brand colors, add your logo to every print and the poster, and hand you a gallery of every attendee afterward.

Milestones

Bar and bat mitzvahs, sweet 16s, quinceañeras and big birthdays. It keeps a full room busy, and the guest of honor goes home with a poster of everyone who was there.

QUESTIONS

Good to know

What is a caricature guestbook?

A guestbook where every guest leaves a caricature of themselves along with their message. With The Portrait Wall, guests snap a selfie, their portrait is drawn on the framed screen, and at the end of the night every guest and message is collected on one poster you can frame.

Is a live caricature artist drawing the portraits?

No. Each portrait is created by AI software from the guest’s selfie, then drawn onto the screen line by line so guests can watch it happen. It takes about a minute per portrait, and the style stays consistent across the whole wall. A live caricature artist typically draws 15 to 20 guests an hour; The Portrait Wall draws 40 to 60.

How is this different from a robot sketch booth?

A sketch robot draws one guest at a time with a pen, which takes a few minutes per person, so many guests at a big event never get a turn. The Portrait Wall draws each portrait on a framed screen in about a minute, handles 40 to 60 guests an hour, and puts every guest together on one guestbook poster. Our portraits are created by AI and printed, not drawn by hand.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. They scan a QR code that opens a web page in their phone’s browser. There is no app and no account.

How many guests can it handle?

One screen draws about 40 to 60 portraits an hour. That covers most events up to 150 guests. For larger events, add a second screen.

Is it safe for a family wedding?

Yes. Every photo and message is screened automatically before it is drawn, and our attendant can remove anything from the wall in seconds.

What do you need from the venue?

A 6 by 6 foot space near a power outlet. The wall needs internet. We bring a hotspot as a backup, though reliable venue Wi-Fi is preferred.

Do guests keep their portrait?

Yes. Each guest gets a 4×6 print and the digital file on their phone. You get the full gallery, online for 3 months, and the finished poster file.

Can we add it to a photo booth package?

Yes. The Portrait Wall runs beside any Oh Snap! photo booth or 360 video booth for $595, so guests get a photo strip and a portrait.

Still have questions?

There is a lot to think about and even more ways to personalize your event. We are here for you every step of the way!
