Beauty & Bridal Philly was an amazing team to work with for my wedding day. From the moment I reached out, their communication was quick, direct, and approachable, which helped keep the whole process stress-free and organized. Kelsey was fantastic at keeping me informed on the timeline and logistics, and when my original hair stylist couldn't make it, she seamlessly found a replacement in Toni. Toni was incredibly professional and friendly - she listened to what I wanted, made me feel beautiful, and was quick to adapt when I changed my mind on the hairstyle. The value of their services was incredible, and I'm so grateful for how they contributed to making my wedding day special and memorable.

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

When she was done and showed me the final product, I couldn't believe it was my hair! She is an absolute ARTIST! I am so pleased with how everything came out.

TO PROVIDE YOU THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE, ALL INQUIRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH OUR WEBSITE ONLY. Third party messages will not be seen._______Stella Fatalé is a New Jersey bridal hair team created to make brides feel gorgeous and confident as you walk down that aisle. Natali and her team of hairstylists focus on personalizing every style, from glamorous updos to romantic waves, specifically for you. Essentially, our goal is to leave you with an experience you can look back on and feel beautiful for a lifetime.

I have been following Natali’s work with Stella Fatale for years on social media. I was always that girl who had my wedding planned out in my head since I was little, so when I came across her Instagram, I immediately followed her and knew that when my wedding day finally came, I wanted her to be the one to do my hair. When I got engaged and it was finally time to start booking vendors, reaching out to Natali was so easy. Her website is so organized, her communication is amazing, and I was absolutely thrilled when I found out she was available for my wedding day. Before booking, I had looked into a few other hair stylists, but what stood out about Natali was her all-inclusive pricing. Everything was upfront, there were no surprise fees, and between her incredible work, glowing reviews, and how professional her business was run, I knew she was the right choice. At my bridal trial, Natali was the sweetest. She listened to exactly what I wanted, gave me her honest opinion, and made sure my hair matched the vision I had for my wedding day. It honestly felt like I had known her forever rather than just meeting her for the first time. On the wedding day, Natali brought the best energy into the room. She was calm, fun, and made the whole getting-ready experience even more special. She absolutely killed my hair, it was exactly what I had always pictured. She also did my mother-in-law’s hair, and seeing how quickly she made her feel comfortable was amazing. My mother-in-law was nervous at first, but Natali completely won her over with her kindness and talent. I cannot recommend Natali enough! She is not only incredibly talented, but she is organized, professional, and truly makes you feel beautiful and confident. I am so grateful she was part of my wedding day and would recommend her to any bride!

*INQUIRY THROUGH WEBSITE* Hi! I’m Kaitlyn! A makeup artist and licensed esthetician based in Brick, NJ, near the Jersey Shore. I’ve been in the industry since 2019 and officially launched my business in January 2023. Makeup and skincare have always been my passion. Whether you’re into soft glam or full glam, I’m truly about enhancing your natural beauty and helping you feel like your best self. At Kaitlyn Rubio Beauty, it’s more than just makeup—it’s about good energy, real genuine connections, and making you feel empowered from the inside out.

I truly feel like everything happens for a reason, because working with Kaitlyn Rubio was one of the best parts of my wedding day. I had originally inquired with her for my first wedding date, but she was already booked. After our wedding was unexpectedly canceled due to the blizzard and we rescheduled to April 3rd, my original makeup artist ended up not being able to make the new date. Without hesitation, I reached back out to Kaitlyn—and somehow, she was available. It honestly felt meant to be. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, fun, and positive energy. She did my makeup, my bridesmaids, and my mom, and absolutely crushed every single look. Everyone looked stunning—but still like themselves, just elevated and flawless. And my makeup… I have no words. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. She listened to exactly what I wanted and somehow made it even better. My sister could not stop saying she looked like an “AI filter,” which honestly says it all—our skin looked that smooth, glowy, and perfect in real life. Everything lasted all day and night, through all the emotions, photos, and dancing, and still looked incredible. But beyond her talent, Kaitlyn just made me feel so comfortable, confident, and taken care of. That feeling on your wedding day is everything. I am so beyond grateful that things worked out the way they did because I truly cannot imagine anyone else doing our makeup. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it immediately. She is unbelievably talented and such a pleasure to be around.

I can't say enough great things about L Studio! I've worked with L Studio as a vendor and as a client. Their expert team of stylists are amazing and do everything from hair coloring to make up.

As a young girl, I would spend hours experimenting with my hair and makeup, turning myself into the latest cover girl. It brought me joy and I wanted others to experience that same joy. In the industry now 13 years, I am your go to girl for all things hair and makeup.

Kelly did my hair for my rehearsal dinner as well as my hair and make-up for my wedding. She also did my mom's hair and make-up and the make-up for one of my bridesmaids. Kelly is wonderful to work with. She is friendly and kind and her work is great. She took her time and made sure I was happy with everything. She does a wonderful job with a natural look which is exactly what I wanted and what I wanted for my bridal party as well. Tammy did the make-up for 5 of my 7 bridesmaids. She did a wonderful job and everyone was happy with their makeup. She was also very friendly and kind. She also did a wonderful job with a natural look which is exactly what I wanted for my bridal party as well. Highly recommend Kelly and Cunningham Bridal.
