What is a silhouette cutter?

A silhouette cutter is an artist who cuts a guest's profile freehand from black paper using only scissors and a sharp eye, usually in a couple of minutes. The finished silhouette is mounted on card for the guest to take home.

It is an old craft with a vintage charm that suits weddings, Gatsby and Parisian nights and elegant corporate events. Because each cut is quick, an artist can see a steady stream of guests, and watching it happen is part of the entertainment.

Where it works best

  • Corporate receptions

    A personal gift guests actually keep.

  • Brand events

    Silhouettes mounted on branded card.

  • Christmas parties

    A personal take-home from the night.

  • Parisian themes

    Old-world charm for a French night.

  • Weddings

    A keepsake favour for every guest.

  • Gatsby nights

    A vintage art form for a 1920s party.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Manage the queue

    Place the artist where a queue will not block a walkway or the bar.

  2. 2

    Set up in good light

    A bright, even light on the guest's profile makes for a crisp silhouette.

  3. 3

    Brand the mounts

    Silhouettes can be mounted on cards with your names, date or logo.

Frequently asked questions

Which venues near Maldon can host a large event?

On our list, Crowne Plaza Colchester (up to 2000 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan silhouette cutters around the space.

Do venues around Maldon have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do silhouette cutters cost in Maldon?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Maldon is 39 miles north-east of central London. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Maldon do you cover?

All of CM8 and CM9, including Great Totham, Tollesbury, Witham, Silver End, Wickham Bishops and Braintree, plus the rest of Essex and nearby Tiptree, Burnham-on-Crouch, Chelmsford and Braintree.

How long does each silhouette take?

Usually a couple of minutes per guest, so an artist can see a good number of guests in a session.

Can the silhouettes be personalised?

Yes. Cards can be printed with your names, date, event title or logo.

Can couples or children be cut together?

Often, yes. Ask the artist on the day, as group silhouettes take a little longer.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
