“Anica did an incredible job with my wedding makeup, creating a natural, yet elevated look that lasted through a pre-ceremony rainstorm and hours of dancing. She made me feel gorgeous while still looking like myself and made sure my bridesmaids felt just as beautiful. She incorporated my feedback, offered helpful suggestions I hadn’t considered, and went above and beyond to pamper everyone, including my mother. Anica is calm, kind, and professional, skilled with a wide range of skin tones, and a calming presence amid the chaos of a wedding morning.

“Liesel’s team was professional, timely and so attuned to everyone’s needs. Even with one of my more challenging family members, they handled her difficulties with grace, kindness & class. I was so nervous going into my wedding day that how I hoped to feel about my hair and makeup was going to be difficult to execute. Instead, True Beauty VT made me feel the most beautiful I’ve EVER felt, and was so responsive to my suggestions and feedback around my color preferences. I truly appreciated so much of how they made myself and my wedding party feel on this day. It was truly the best day of my life, and in part thanks to True Beauty VT. I cannot recommend them enough. Not to mention they brought an amazing playlist that had everyone feeling playful and joyful. My hair and makeup lasted alllll day- and I mean it and my curls fell exactly how I wanted them to- and when I explained in very amateur terms how I wanted them to be different from my trial Liesel understood exactly and switched it. Not to mention- as someone with sensitive skin, even 3 days after my wedding there are no breakouts to be seen.”

“I first heard about Seventh Heaven from my sister who gets her hair cut by Katelyn. From my first email with Katelyn I was so impressed with her quick response time and how warm and welcoming her emails were. I was a bit shocked at the prices at first and thought they seemed high compared to other hair/makeup teams I had reached out to. Seventh Heaven is ABSOLUTELY worth the money. A lot of the hair/makeup teams I had reached out to never even responded, and the others sent me reply emails that seemed almost uninterested. Katelyn was so quick to respond every time I reached out and the hair and makeup she and Melissa did for myself and my bridesmaids was the best I had ever seen. Katelyn & Melissa were so fun to work with and I would recommend them over and over and over again!”

“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!”
