Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!

They did the entire bridal party they were on time, professional, and attentive to our makeup needs. Sedicah knew how to create the perfect look for an African American bride, not all makeup artist can achieve that, which is why I chose her as my make up artist. I wanted to look natural but glamorous at the same time. I wanted a look that made me look like myself but gave a pop in pictures. Sedicah achieved that for me!

Alexa Gould Make-up 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Thornwood, NY

Hi there! I am a native New Yorker who always knew she wanted to be a part of the cosmetic industry. I graduated from the Make-Up Designory in 2008 and have over 12 years of experience as a full time makeup artist working everything from fashion week, commercial, theater and red carpet make-up. Weddings have been a constant throughout my career and styling brides has forever been my favorite type of make-up. I love being apart of someone's special day and creating a look that makes them feel like the best version of themselves.

If you are looking for a makeup artist that can make literally any look a reality, Alexa is the one. I'm always critical when someone does my makeup - even when working with very talented people, I always find something about the finished look I don't like. When Alexa did my makeup for my engagement shoot and my wedding, I was literally happy with the entire look. I just told her what I wanted and she made it happen. And a bonus? Despite a night of dancing, my makeup stayed on for my entire wedding! She is a kind person and a calming presence before your big event, she listens to your needs, and overall does a great job - I cannot recommend her enough!

Essie Cohen Makeup LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Serves Thornwood, NY

I have loved doing makeup since I was in middle school, always an artist and creative and when I discovered makeup it seemed The world aligned. My passion for people and sharing experiences with my clients and my love for makeup makes this my favorite thing I’ve ever done. My relationships with my clients is my favorite part.

Essie was my makeup artist for my June 22, 2024 wedding, and I simply cannot recommend her enough. She is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly professional with her brides. Though she has done hundreds (or maybe even thousands?) of weddings, she took the time to personalize my look for ME, and to encourage me to be honest if I wanted any tweaks. Her energy is so calm and positive- the exact thing you need in a hectic bridal suite. She worked FAST and even kept us ahead of schedule- which I believe is unheard of for the wedding day! Her assistant Riley made skin prep a total dream, and many of my bridesmaids said it was the best professional makeup they've ever received. However, Essie became more than a makeup artist throughout my planning process. When our photographer needed to cancel, she saw my post in a bridal FB group and immediately texted me to send about 25 photography recs- following up to be sure I'd found someone. When I posted in that same group asking for help finding a sponsor for our country club venue, Essie jumped in to help. She went WAY above and beyond what a vendor does for a client, and instead acted as a genuine friend. It's hard to fully put into words how wonderful she is, but booking with Essie is a no-brainer.

I am PICKY about my hair, and it notoriously does not hold a curl very long. Bree was able to work with me to achieve the exact look I wanted while also ensuring it would hold a curl. She also helped me care for and pick out extensions which were a must. Not only that, but she did two diff styles during my trial and I still asked her to do it differently on the day of and she executed better than I could've imagined. Ultimately, it was very important to me to be surrounded by chill, positive vibes on my wedding day and Bree her assistant were exactly that. If you read nothing else: I literally ran out into a blizzard in the middle of my wedding, and it still held up after that. THANK YOU!

Fran and her team were amazing! I did two hair trials with Fran before the wedding, and she was so patient and helpful while we figured out the perfect style for me. On the wedding day, Fran focused on my hair while her team handled my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, and everything came out beautifully. I absolutely loved how my hair turned out. It was exactly what I envisioned, but even more beautiful. Everyone loved how they looked, and the styles held all night. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to get ready with!

I hired Kelsey for my November 2024 wedding and she and her team exceeded my expectations. I honestly can't stop thinking about how good my hair and makeup looked the day of my wedding. I was admittedly nervous scheduling my trial because I realized the salon is not in Philly, but in Quakertown, which was about an hour drive. However, when I met Kelsey, I was reminded of why I booked in the first place - her personality is so warm and welcoming, funny, and puts you at ease immediately. I had the same exact reaction the morning of my wedding. I received hair and makeup services and my bridesmaids and MOB/MOG had their hair styled by Kelsey's associate. I thought everyone looked gorgeous and as this was one of the more expensive vendors I paid for myself, I did feel like my money was well spent. If you like full, full coverage with heavy foundation, etc I don't think this is the vendor for you. However, I think what Kelsey did with my makeup was even better because it looked so natural, but still looked like I was wearing the right amount of makeup. On top of my hair and makeup already looking perfect in my opinion, it happened to be snowing/freezing rain the day of my wedding and all of our photos were taken outside. My makeup did not budge! I touched up my lip gloss that was about it. My curls fell slightly because of the rain, but I was still very impressed my hairstyle lasted at all because of the weather. Overall, if you're on the fence about whether you'd like a professional to do your hair or makeup for your wedding, I would highly recommend someone like Kelsey who will make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself and take the stress out of doing it yourself.
