Corporate Event Live Illustration in Switzerland: An Evening at The Dolder Grand Zurich

Live illustration is becoming a unique entertainment experience for corporate events in Switzerland: from client dinners and brand events to Christmas parties and company celebrations. Recently, we had the pleasure of creating live guest illustrations for a J.P. Morgan Asset Management event at The Dolder Grand in Zurich.

Live Illustration at a Corporate Event in Zurich
Last Monday, we packed our illustration materials and headed to one of our favourite event locations in Switzerland: The Dolder Grand in Zurich.
This time, we were there as Live Illustrators for an evening event by J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
For the event, we created a custom illustration concept: elegant black-and-white upper-body portraits with a subtle touch of colour.
Throughout the evening, guests and speakers stopped by to have their portraits created. One of the most rewarding parts of live illustration is always the reaction: watching someone discover themselves as an illustration for the first time.
The response throughout the evening was wonderful. Guests shared their portraits with colleagues, posed with them and took their original illustrations home as a personal memory of the event.

A Personal Corporate Event Gift
Unlike traditional event giveaways, a live illustration is created individually for each guest.
It combines entertainment, art and a personalised gift in one experience.
Most portraits were completed during the J.P. Morgan event, while several additional private portraits and group illustrations were finished afterwards in our Basel studio. We then carefully packaged the remaining artworks and sent them directly to J.P. Morgan.
This also allows us to accommodate more guests: if an illustration cannot be completed during the event, it can be professionally finished in the studio and delivered afterwards.

Live Illustrators for Corporate Events in Switzerland
We originally became known for our Live Wedding Illustrations, but recently something exciting has been happening: we are receiving more and more enquiries from companies, event planners and corporate clients.
And we are very excited about this new chapter.
Live Guest Illustration can be a beautiful addition to:
Corporate events and company celebrations
Christmas parties and end-of-year events
Client and VIP dinners
Brand activations and product launches
Networking events and conferences
Employee appreciation events
Fashion, beauty and luxury events
The illustration style can also be adapted to suit the company or event. This can include corporate colours, logos, branded illustration paper or a completely customised visual concept.

Two Live Illustrators for Larger Events
There is another exciting development for the upcoming season:
We are now available as a team of two Live Illustrators.
Having two artists allows us to create portraits considerably faster and illustrate more guests throughout an evening, making Live Illustration suitable for larger corporate events and Christmas celebrations as well.
For selected events, additional artists can also be discussed depending on the number of guests and the event concept.
Corporate Christmas Parties & Winter Events 2026
With autumn approaching, we are now opening our calendar for the Autumn and Winter 2026 corporate event season.
We are especially looking forward to Christmas parties, festive dinners, client events and end-of-year celebrations.
If you are currently searching for corporate Christmas party entertainment in Zurich, Basel or elsewhere in Switzerland, Live Illustration offers something interactive without interrupting the natural flow of the evening.
Guests can enjoy dinner, conversations and the event while their portraits are being created and leave with something that was made especially for them.
Working at The Dolder Grand Zurich
The Dolder Grand has become a very special location for us.
Every time we work there, we are impressed not only by the beautiful surroundings but also by the people behind the scenes. The team is consistently attentive, welcoming and incredibly supportive towards us as artists and event suppliers.
That makes a difference and it is one of the reasons we are always happy to return.
A heartfelt thank you to J.P. Morgan Asset Management for trusting us with this event and to The Dolder Grand Zurich for another wonderful evening.
