We had a quick turn around from when we started planning to the actual day. So was a bit stressed about this part being I left it to the last minute, but Audrey was great!

Thank you Audrey for making me look great in all my pictures!

Jenna and her amazing team provided both hair and makeup services for my wedding on June 20th, 2026. Jenna truly made me feel like a bride. I was so sad that I had to take off the makeup and take down my hair because it was just so perfect and even better than I ever imagined. I’m incredibly grateful for Jenna’s patience, flexibility, and for making me feel the most beautiful and confident I ever have! Jenna also worked her magic on my mom. My mom is someone who never changes up her hairstyle or typically wears a lot of makeup. Jenna was incredibly patient and made her also feel beautiful and confident! I’m extremely grateful and appreciative of her role in making my big day so special and memorable! Additionally, her amazing team Mahroza, Iliana, and Michelle V. worked their magic on my bridesmaids and both of my grandmothers. They were all incredibly patient and flexible, whether it was making due with limited counter space and chairs, and/or taking the time and care to fix and touch up the girls’ hair and/or makeup until they were completely happy and satisfied with the results. I can’t thank and recommend Jenna and her team enough; they are the best and ideal hair and makeup team to have if you want your dream wedding look to be achieved and for the stress of getting ready to be taken off of your shoulders. They allowed me to relax and to just be present and take in every moment of the morning.

Ann Krause was amazing — I truly can’t say enough good things! She listened so closely to my vision (even my slightly wild idea of adding glitter to my hair), and helped me create a look that felt completely “me.” She even helped me choose a hair piece that worked perfectly with my dress and served as a beautiful alternative to my veil for the reception. My makeup was absolute perfection — glamorous, but still natural. I felt stunning all day long. Between my trial and the wedding, Ann took all of my feedback to heart — adjusting the curl hold, adding more pins, and fine-tuning everything so it felt secure and photo-ready without being overdone. She was professional, warm, and completely tuned in to what I needed. I’d recommend Ann a thousand times over — she helped me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot remember how exactly I found Glow Bridal Co, but I remember loving how understanding Tricia was when I did not respond right away due to being so overwhelmed with wedding planning. I was happy how willing she was to do another trial if I felt was needed (although i did not end up doing another one and I was happy with how i looked on my wedding day). I had a total of 5 people for makeup & 7 people for hair, not including myself. I do not remember the exact pricing, but I felt like they were reasonably price. The most important thing is I felt beautiful with my hair and makeup. The only thing I did not like was that Tricia and Paola left the hotel the day of my wedding without checking to see if I needed anything touched up one last time. My mom and I had stepped away for a few minutes, and, when we came back, they were gone. Thankfully, I did not realize this until after my wedding day, and I think i was fine, but i do think they should have checked with me before leaving. Overall, I am happy with the service I received & would recommend them for hair & makeup

I can’t say enough great things about the beauty team I had. Brenda did phenomenal on my makeup! I was happy crying all day and night and my makeup held up the entire time. She listened to what I wanted and made my face feel weightless even with a full face and foundation! Mercedes did wonders with my hair and the curls held all night even through jumping, crazy wind, and a handsy groom lol. She’s the sweetest and so supportive of whatever I wanted. Eva did fantastic with all of the hair and makeup she did for my girls also! Huge thanks all around the such a fantastic team. Overall communication was great prior to booking and died down a bid in the middle of the experience and towards my wedding but I’m guessing that was due to it being a busier time of year. At the end of the day I’d highly recommend them though, especially the fantastic artists that I had the pleasure of working with.

It took me months to find a MUA for my wedding. When I found Nancy I was so impressed but nervous only because of my past experiences getting make up done. Nancy made me feel so comfortable, and listed and explained everything during my trial. I kept thinking like - everything could go wrong on the wedding day, but at least my makeup was going to look BOMB. Also, my MOH does not wear any make up. I was so worried because she was one of those “only a little of this and that” but Nancy did such an amazing job, my MOH was so happy!

I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was with Cristal as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. From the very first interaction, she was amazing at communicating and made me feel completely at ease. I gave her free rein on my makeup, with only the guidelines of creating a romantic look that would highlight my features, and she absolutely nailed it. I shared a few pictures of my dress with her, and she not only helped me decide on the perfect hairstyle but also executed it flawlessly. The entire process felt so natural and enjoyable, almost as if we had been friends for a long time. On my wedding day, she truly felt like part of the family, and her presence added so much warmth and joy to the occasion. If you're looking for a talented, kind, and genuinely caring hair and makeup artist, look no further than Cristal. She has a remarkable gift for making you look and feel your absolute best on your special day. Thank you, Cristal, for making my wedding day so magical and memorable!
