had Jenna Marie from Kiss This Makeup for both my trial and wedding day, and she was absolutely amazing. At my trial, Jenna Marie was so nice and friendly and really took the time to explain everything in detail. She asked for my thoughts throughout the process and made sure I felt comfortable and happy with the final look. She even gave me a skin and hair care routine to follow leading up to the wedding, which I thought was such a thoughtful and helpful touch. On the wedding day, I decided to change my hairstyle slightly from having one side pulled back to wearing it all down, and Jenna Marie was so accommodating and made it look beautiful. Jenna Marie did an incredible job on my hair and makeup, as well as my daughter’s and my mom’s makeup. We all loved how everything turned out and felt so pretty and confident. Jenna Marie is truly talented, professional, and easy to work with, and I would absolutely recommend her to any bride looking for hair and 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.

From your first getting-ready moments to your walk down the aisle, we’re honored to be part of it all.

Working with The Bridal Beauty Team was nothing short of extraordinary. I booked with them somewhat far out from my wedding, but my call with Kate, the owner, as a consultation was a match right off the bat. She got to know me as a human not just a bride, and took great care in my vision for my day. Gina, whom I sincerely apologized to for all of my questions and emails (lol) was SO incredibly kind and patient and made any updates to our contract or services any time I asked! Now, onto the artists: I had my trial with Jeannette, who made me feel so beautiful and comfortable, I knew we were a good match! I felt confident with her as lead artist! On the day of, Jeannette, Myriam, Jenna, Lorena and Rene all exceeded any and all expectations. There were a total of 30 (I think) services being performed and I have never seen such a “well oiled machine” of hair and makeup before. They took time and care for each service but also moved so quickly that they were finished early. We didn’t have to start at 6am with that many people, which honestly, was a huge concern. Everyone felt and looked STUNNING and I truly could not stop staring at myself after my hair and makeup were finished. Haven’t gotten all of our professional photos back, so including what I can! Including a before photo, an after selfie, an iPhone photo at the end of the night & one of my professional photos from afar so you can see how glowy and dewy she made me look!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Cristal as the hair & makeup artist for my recent wedding, and I cannot express how incredible she was throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Cristal went above and beyond in her preparation, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned. She took the time to understand exactly what each of us wanted, listening carefully to our visions and bringing them to life flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Cristal's dedication truly shone through. She was not only professional and skilled but also incredibly warm and personable, making everyone feel at ease. She even provided thoughtful touch-up kits, which were a lifesaver and kept us looking flawless throughout the event. Cristal quickly became more than just our makeup artist; she became a friend. Her passion and talent are evident in every stroke of her brush, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a makeup artist for their special day. Thank you, Cristal, for making our wedding day so beautiful and memorable!
