Cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. My wedding day was extremely windy, and I wanted my waist-length hair DOWN!! I said I knew the risk I was taking and it was ok if it got messy, but Sarah was like no worries I got this. She did in fact have this. My waves were perfect all day and night despite being golf-carted around the venue in 20mph winds all morning, romping in the woods for a first look, and standing outside the the full force of the wind for family photos. My pictures speak for themselves. My hair was absolutely perfect for the ENTIRE event!!

Liesel and her team were absolutely exceptional—from our first interaction to the wedding day. They were always so positive and responsive. The hair and makeup trial was a true highlight of my wedding experience; I had a blast experimenting with different styles. Liesel and her team were incredibly skilled and helped me achieve my wedding look despite my VERY vague and uncertain vision. On the big day, everything went perfectly. Liesel and her team were professional and blended seamlessly with everyone. The best part? My updo was flawless. As someone with a lot of hair who loves to dance, I can honestly say Liesel and her team worked wonders. My hair and makeup stayed perfect from the moment I walked down the aisle until the final song. I can't recommend Liesel and her team highly enough!

If you're looking for a makeup artist, I highly recommend Alex at Glam for Everyone! As someone who rarely wears makeup, it was important to me to find a balance of glam and still feeling like myself. At my makeup trial, Alex went above and beyond, patiently guiding me through my concerns and actively listening to feedback to help me create the perfect look for my wedding day. Just as importantly, Alex brought that same calm, patient & positive vibe to the wedding day - which was so important given how early we started! A massive thank you to Alex for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt (which is saying a lot given that I'm naturally so uncomfortable in makeup), and for helping the rest of my wedding party look and feel like the best version of themselves, too! The next time I'm in need of professional makeup services, I'll be reaching out to Glam for Everyone first. (Photo by @KairosImagesSM)

I did a destination elopement, so I didn’t have a chance to do a trial, but Tayla understood exactly what I wanted from my Pinterest board and a phone call/email. She brought multiple options based on my likes day-of and created a beautiful look that was everything I’d hoped for. I don’t wear makeup often and I’m not great at describing the makeup styles I like, but Tayla listened and explained my choices very kindly and professionally, and the result was completely perfect. She also made sure my makeup would stay on and look natural and balanced outside even with my wintertime runny nose. Can’t recommend her enough!

Our team specializes in luxury on-site hair and makeup for weddings, creating timeless, personalized looks that photograph beautifully and last all day. From soft, romantic styles to full glam, we tailor every detail to enhance your natural beauty and match your wedding vision. With years of experience serving brides across Vermont and beyond, we pride ourselves on professionalism, calm energy, and seamless timelines so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your day. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full bridal party glam session, Blush is dedicated to making you feel confident, radiant, and completely taken care of.

The team at Blush was absolutely amazing for our wedding at Mountain Top Resort! From our very first communication, they were professional, highly organized, and incredibly easy to work with. On the morning of the wedding, they came directly to our getting-ready suite at the resort. Eliminating the need to travel to a salon made our morning feel so relaxed, seamless, and entirely stress-free. The artists arrived early, set up efficiently, and were incredibly punctual with their timeline. They did a phenomenal job on hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, our flower girl, and my mother in law. What impressed me most was how attentive they were to everyone's individual preferences. They listened carefully to what each person wanted, tailored the looks perfectly, and made sure everyone felt confident and beautiful. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. Our hair and makeup held up flawlessly all day and night—which was no small feat, considering that we actually experienced a surprise bout of hail during our outdoor ceremony, followed by hours of dancing on a completely packed dance floor at the reception. Despite the wild weather and the sweat from dancing, not a single curl fell out of place, and our makeup stayed totally fresh without needing touch-ups. If you want a professional, talented, and reliable glam team for your big day, I highly recommend Blush!

Nicole is incredible. Not only is she super talented, but she is a professional! I was in Rhode Island for a friends wedding, and had booked Nicole for my own in September. I needed to schedule a trial with her, and last minute, she offered to come to my hotel room and do the trial right then and there! Within 24 hours, she confirmed my trial for my own wedding and was at my hotel room ready to rock. She was accommodating and listened to all my feedback. She even asked me if there was anything I would change. After giving her feedback, she went in and made the makeup and hair perfect. I felt Gorgeous, glamorous and just beautiful. She took notes of the specifics for my day and told me what products she recommended I buy - like the lip combo she used. The fact that she got me ready and did my trial for my friends wedding was just unbelievable. I cannot recommend Nicole enough. If you’re unsure about booking a makeup artist or hair stylist, I’m telling you- Nicole is it. She is fun, light hearted and personable and really put me at ease. I cant Wait till September when she does my makeup for MY wedding! She’s the best!

Amber and Kristy did a great job on the makeup and hair for myself and my bridesmaids, and makeup for my mom. They were fun, friendly, and informative, and everyone looked beautiful. They listened to my feedback from my trial, and everything came out even better on the day. I felt so beautiful all day, and never worried once about my hair or makeup staying in place, even through SO many tears (even when the wind decided to take my veil, it popped easily back into place)! And everything was so comfortable for how durable it proved to be - no drying products or pulling on my hair. Amber and Kristy's work is a great value, and they fit right in with my bridal party, making the start to the day that much more fun. My only critique was the timeline - I was working without a coordinator, so I trusted the professionals to lay out a timeline that they were comfortable with. Ultimately it just wasn't enough time, and despite my mother-in-law dropping out of the lineup (for unrelated reasons), my makeup still finished late. I understand this stuff happens, but I felt like the only one concerned about continuing to fall behind, and we would have had no issue getting started earlier if asked. So I would recommend some buffer in your timeline, particularly if you are DIYing it, but they did a great job!
