Candice did a wonderful job appeasing any concerns I had before booking with them for my wedding for both hair and makeup services for me and 2 bridal party members. During my consult Brittany was also able to ease my skins/ makeup concerns. I felt so at ease throughout the entire process with Society 11:11 – from inquiry to when I was sitting in the makeup chair on my wedding day! Brittany helped fulfill exactly what my vision for my bridal look was, and it was everything AND MORE! I felt like a princess especially since my wedding dress was a ball gown as well! I would not recommend ANYONE ELSE for your makeup and hair needs. My two bridal party members also spoke very highly of both Brittany and Leilani.

She was in fact overjoyed at the chance to work with me. I have a lot of hair and it’s very very long and she even dyed it to make sure it was the best it could look. She also did a trimming to get rid of dead ends. It was truly an amazing experience. I will always go to her for any needs and I could not recommend her enough for my curly haired people.

The makeup and hair artist from Best Face Forward were amazing to work with!   They were great from the first phone call when I spoke to Kara and she put my mind at ease.  They are great at communicating, reply in a timely manner, and have a detailed timeline.  The forms that we had to fill out were super helpful in making it a smooth process.  My originaI hair and makeup artist got sick the day of my engagement photos and Kara was able to easily step in because of the forms.  I decided to switch my eye shadow color after my make up trial and Priscilla was helpful in figuring out new colors.  She was also helpful with figuring out which hair extensions and pearl bobby pins to buy.  Everyone in bridal party had different levels of comfort with hair and make-up, and everyone said how great Priscilla and Stephanie were!  We were even ready before the timeline called for!  I would definitely use them for my next event and highly recommend them!

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

You WANT to book this ray of sunshine! Joie is so good at what she does. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her as both a bride and a bridesmaid, and I have loved the end result both times. Joie brings such a positive vibe to the day, and truly pampers her brides. I did two makeup previews before the wedding day, and being able to tweak things to get it just right meant Joie nailed it on the wedding day and I looked exactly how I wanted to. My makeup stayed put ALL DAY, through tears and all, and the lip touch up kit came in clutch. She and her colleague even got a *flat tire* on the way to do our makeup, and she did not let that derail the morning! She was prepared to do anything to get there.

Rita and her team did a great job with the hair and makeup for my wedding in November 2024. She was very responsive during the booking process, everything was very clear and seamless. The trial went well and she made sure that I liked how everything looked. Everything on the day of the wedding looked as expected based on the trial. I hardly ever wear makeup and asked for a more natural look and it turned out perfect! I also have fine hair and was worried about having volume, but Rita was able to make my hair look thicker than it is. Both the hair and makeup lasted all night and still looked good after being done around 12pm. We had 6 people getting services and everything was done on time by Rita and her assistant, she provided a schedule so that I was able to let people know when they could arrive. I would recommend Rita to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup services, she was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

She showed up early with a truck load of makeup and hair styling products and all in between! She made the entire getting ready experience AMAZING!!!! not only did she do an amazing job, but I was shocked to see my hair and makeup lasted all night long!! From crying, dancing my tail off…. Beyond happy!!! She even stayed to do as many touchups that needed to get done, and as you see from the video, she even stayed through ceremony! Highly highly recommend!!!!

Kelsea and Alena made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Kelsea chatted with me via Zoom to get an idea of what the day was going to be like and the look I was going for. I did a trial at Kelsea's studio in Virginia and I got to hang out with her adorable pup while she brought my vision to life and asked me lots of helpful questions. She then took feedback from the trial so that Alena, who was my artist on my wedding day, could execute a perfected version of the trial look. My hair isn't the easiest to work with because it's very straight and fine, but Alena got it to hold its waves all night without it feeling gross and weighed down by product. She also accentuated the purple highlights I got done shortly before the wedding to match my flowers flawlessly so that the purple showed through without being overpowering. She checked in every step of the way while doing my makeup and made sure I was good with the shades that she picked. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was worried about not feeling like myself, but Kelsea and Alena achieved the perfect balance between looking glamorous, but still natural. I didn't have a bridal party, but Alena did my mom's hair and makeup as well and she looked beautiful. Cannot recommend Artistry by Kelsea enough!

Claudia and Alena at Cloud & Rae Studio were both incredible! Claudia’s makeup made each of us look naturally stunning with the perfect soft touch of glam, while Alena’s hairstyling was so elegant and fun. Both hair and makeup lasted all night long! Claudia and Alena were professional, fun, and felt like part of the family on our day. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to make us look and feel amazing – thank you both!

Sarah Khan Artistry provides boutique on-location bridal hair and makeup services for you and your bridal attendants. The services provided are to naturally enhance my bride's features and to customize a look that will bring your bridal vision to life!

From the moment I booked Sarah for my wedding day, I knew I was in capable hands—but she still managed to exceed every expectation. Her professionalism, artistry, and calming presence made my bridal makeup experience perfect. Her communication is thorough and punctual. I was looking for a glam makeup look that enhanced my natural beauty without looking harsh and Sarah delivered exactly that. She listened attentively to my vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and created a flawless look that made me feel radiant and confident. The makeup lasted beautifully throughout the day and late through the night. Even through tears, I had perfect application. I received endless compliments from guests. Sarah arrived early, prepared, and ready to make the day as stress-free as possible. Her positive energy was contagious, and she made everyone in my bridal party feel like the best version of themselves. She was able to do makeup for my mother, sisters and cousin in addition to my own. If you're searching for a makeup artist who combines skill with heart, I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah Khan. She helped make my wedding day even more special, and I will cherish the memories—and the photos—forever.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!
