Cornwall Caricatures Wins National Award at Prestigious Wedding Industry Event

Truro-Based Artist Takes Top Honours at The Wedding Industry Awards 2025

Cornwall Caricatures has been named the National Winner in the Best Special Touch category at The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) 2025 Grand Final, bringing national recognition to the Truro-based business.

The awards, which celebrate excellence in the wedding industry, were held at The Underglobe, beneath Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, where Cornwall Caricatures triumphed over competitors from across England, Wales, and Scotland.

A Decade of Capturing Moments

Cornwall Caricatures, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, has been providing live caricature entertainment at weddings and events across the Duchy and beyond. Reflecting on the achievement, owner and artist Cassie said:

“Cornwall is a world-renowned destination venue for weddings and it’s been a privilege to provide my fun service over the last 10 years in the county in which I was born. I’ve been obsessed with drawing faces since the age of 1 and after getting married myself in 2014, couldn’t believe there weren’t any wedding caricaturists based in Cornwall.

Cornwall Caricatures was born, and I’ve spent the last decade pouring my passion into capturing fun pen portraits in minutes to entertain guests and bring joy and laughter to events. I’ve now drawn at over 300 weddings and nearly 1,000 events across the Duchy and beyond. So to get this recognition nationally and represent wedding art and caricature as THE entertainment choice for your big day is a true honour.”

A Highly Competitive Field

The 2025 Awards saw 27,300 votes cast for 1,500 entrants, with 1,100 businesses making it to the Regional Finals and just 250 becoming Regional Winners. Cassie had already secured victory in the South West region at the Regional Final in Bristol in November 2024, before going on to claim the national title.

TWIA founder Damian Bailey emphasised the prestige of the awards, saying:

“The National Awards event is the biggest night in the wedding industry and a National Award is the highest accolade you can get. TWIA is trusted by business and couples alike and gives credible differentiation in what is an incredibly competitive market. The standard has been higher than ever so the National Winners really are at the top of their game.”

Cornwall Shines at the Awards

Alongside Cornwall Caricatures, Treseren, a venue based in Cornwall, also took home a National Award, winning Best Venue (Historic Building) in the UK.

The Wedding Industry Awards, established in 2011, is the only Regional and National client-voted, expert-judged awards in the UK wedding industry. With the UK wedding sector estimated to be worth £15 billion annually, competition among suppliers is fierce, making this recognition particularly significant.
