Anne is so talented and very professional while still remaining fun. I am so grateful that she was my artist for this event. My makeup was flawless and lasted till the late hours of the night after the reception and dancing. She was on time and worked with such care and a gentle healing touch. Anne was friendly and had such a loving positive vibe to her. She was a God send for sure. Even the bride (who had another artist) was in awe at her makeup talents.

I can't recommend Marisa enough! I first met Marisa about a year ago while attending her fitness classes, and shortly after, I found out she did bridal hair and makeup. I immediately booked a trial, and fell in love with how it turned out! From that moment, I knew she was the one I wanted to do my wedding makeup! Marisa also brings such amazing energy to the process—she’s your biggest cheerleader and makes you feel like the best version of yourself, inside and out. She recently did makeup for me, my mom, and my bridal party for my wedding this fall, and I am still getting compliments! It was 85 degrees and humid that day, but everyone’s makeup stayed flawless from start to finish. If you want a makeup artist who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and like the most special version of yourself on your big day—Marisa is your girl!

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

Meghan was an actual blessing on our wedding. We got married in Maine and I had previously found someone more local to do my hair. To say that initial test with the other person was disappointing would be a gross understatement. I have very thin hair and as such bought extensions. The other person said she couldn't use all of them, and the ones she did use pulled on my hair and scalp in such a painful way that I couldn't wear them for more than an hour or so and the style looked thin and fried. Enter Meghan. Given the exact same tools and accessories she worked actual magic. She gave me wedding hair better than I ever could've imagined or dreamed of. I asked for wild and witchy and romantic and she delivered tenfold. It was so comfortable and long-lasting and I got nothing but compliments on it and she did such a good job integrating the extensions that no one believed it wasn't my real hair. She gave recommendations for which extensions to get and what products to use to prep my hair and was all around amazing. She even helped my groom with his hair last minute on the day of and he looked fabulous too. Meghan was such a joy to be around and was so sweet and kind and helpful and talented that I wish I could get married again just to use her. She's a gem and I will recommend her to anyone who asks and everyone who doesn't ask.

Hello beautiful people! My name is Jocelyn and I have been a makeup artist for over 8 years, pursuing this full time the last 3! I have loved makeup my entire life and my love has just grown as I have gotten older. Communication and trust with my clients is extremely important to me! I always make sure we have time to talk about exactly what kind of look you are looking for. I look forward to welcoming you to my chair!

Jocelyn was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day makeup. Her communication style was speedy, personal, and energetic - she always responded quickly to any questions I had and made me feel like an individual, not just another client. The quality and value of her work was amazing. She didn't use a one-size-fits-all approach but really tailored the look to me. When she was done I truly felt beautiful, confident, and ready to walk down the aisle. On the day itself Jocelyn arrived right on time and came bearing a lovely gift, which was so thoughtful. She worked efficiently and professionally to make sure my makeup was perfect before zipping off to her next appointment. I couldn't recommend Jocelyn more highly for any bride looking for a talented, responsive, and thoughtful makeup artist for her special day!

A hopeless romantic and people person, I found my true passion when working in the bridal industry. I love getting to meet excited brides, connecting with them to learn about their vision, how they dreamed of the perfect wedding so I can bring that to life! Being able to give them the gift of confidence on their wedding day is truly a special part of my job. Building a friendship is a by-product, and I have become friends with so many of my brides, staying connected years after the wedding, and even glamming them up for other big milestones of their journey, like maternity pictures and baby showers!

Julianna has been the only person I’ve ever truly trusted with my makeup, and having her for my wedding day was nothing short of a dream. The feeling I get when I’m glammed by her is absolutely unparalleled. From the moment I saw her work, I fell in love. She achieves the most stunning balance of glamorous and chic, while still enhancing your natural beauty rather than masking it. She made this natural girl want to go full glam and to be honest I felt like the most gorgeous version of myself. I already adored her artistry, but meeting Julianna sealed the deal. She has this incredible gift for putting you at ease from the very beginning. Her warm personality and genuine spirit instantly made me feel confident and celebrated, even before she began working on me. She’s the kind of person you just want to be around, which matters so much on the morning of your wedding when every little moment counts. Julianna not only showed up as a true professional but also as someone who made my getting-ready experience pure joy. Looking back, some of my favorite memories from the morning are simply laughing and celebrating with her and my girls while she made us all feel beautiful. She brings the perfect blend of professionalism, talent, and positive energy. I know I could not have felt as radiant and confident on my wedding day without her. She was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Julianna is that rare artist who not only transforms how you look but how you feel. I feel so lucky to have had her as part of my wedding morning, and I cannot recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone who will make you look and feel your absolute best.

They were completely on top of everything, making the whole getting-ready process smooth, fun, and totally stress-free. They did hair and makeup for myself, the MOB, MOH and a bridesmaid. They used such high-quality products, and it showed — my makeup looked flawless all day and all night without even needing a single touch-up. And despite some pretty reckless dancing on the dance floor, my hair stayed perfectly in place and looked amazing until the very end. It survived hugs, kisses, people stepping and tugging on my veil, and dancing.

Working with Sara was a pleasure from the very beginning, we hit it off during our consultation phone call and it was like I had known her for years immediately. Her expertise in makeup application is rivaled by her expertise in people management, and she’s able to match energy as well as she matches shades. When my initial hairstylist that I booked fell through, Sara went above and beyond to help me find someone else available on my day, without having to compromise on a stylist who had lots of experience with what I wanted. Sara is the ultimate hype woman, literally every step of the way she made me feel gorgeous and radiant, all while simply highlighting my features, rather than hiding me behind a million layers of makeup. She was able to achieve my “anti-bride” look flawlessly and the morning of my wedding she was my calm rock in an anxious storm. The makeup itself stayed put all day and evening, despite crying and lots of dancing, and felt like I was wearing absolutely no makeup at all! Sara is such a special human being who is amazing at what she does, you’d be a silly goober not to book her for your wedding!

From start to finish, working with her was an absolute dream. Her energy in addition to her work were EVERYTHING. She absolutely nailed my Hollywood vision, every wave perfectly placed. All of my bridesmaids were in love with their looks. Shelby made everyone feel and look their best on such a big day. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!

Makeup by Kadasia

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist in 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photo shoots, to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

My wedding was a week ago and I’ve been looking at pictures all week, so thankful I chose Kadasia. She was flexible with times and scheduling the others in my bridal party and even accommodated working at two locations on the same day to make it work. She has so much understanding about her craft that she knows exactly what people need, however that doesn’t stop her from listening to what people want. She asks questions and engages with whoever she’s working with. I watched her deal with my picky mother and bridesmaids who are incredibly skeptical about makeup—she listened and made them and myself look stunning but we still liked like us! I’ve gotten makeup done before where the “glam” was overdone and I didn’t recognize myself. Kadasia accentuated our natural beauty and I knew I didn’t have to worry about my make up coming off on people, like it has in the past. I loved my wedding look and I cannot thank Kadasia enough for being easy to work with and making me feel beautiful. Highly recommend!! Can’t wait to work together again!

Aradzon was an amazing wedding beauty professional to work with. Their communication throughout the process was excellent - Saina was incredibly responsive, warm, and put me at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work was truly outstanding, from the gorgeous hair and makeup they created for my wedding day to their attention to detail and ability to make me feel beautiful. Saina's soft skills and expertise shone through, and she helped make me feel confident and radiant on my special day. I cannot recommend Aradzon highly enough to any couple looking for a top-notch beauty team to be part of their wedding.
