I can’t speak enough about Jenna and her staff. From the date I made the initial outreach, they were responsive, helpful, and answered every question I had. The hair and makeup trial were meticulous, and Jenna addressed every comment I had so that on the big day, it was absolutely perfect. As a 53-year old “bride” renewing our wedding vows, I did not expect to look like a supermodel, but Jenna made me look and feel more beautiful than I ever dreamt possible. I included my daughter, nieces and close friends for hair and make up services and found Jenna and her team amazing in how they managed multiple needs for multiple individuals and kept us on schedule. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful from ages ranging from 16 to 55. I also opted for the bridal valet service, which I can’t recommend highly enough. With that service, Jenna stayed with me through the beginning of the reception to help straightening the train, holding flowers during pictures, touching up my make up, and overall keeping me calm, cool and collected.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the glam team that made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Selena has been with me through it all—my engagement shoot, courthouse wedding, trial, and finally the big day. She is truly phenomenal at what she does. Selena has such a great eye for what looks good, while also listening to suggestions and making sure her clients feel comfortable and confident. She doesn’t just “do makeup”—she creates a look that enhances natural beauty, lasts all day, and makes you feel your absolute best. Every time she worked with me, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. Jeanette is a true hair artist. Her skills are top tier—she has the hands and vision to bring any hairstyle to life and somehow make it even better than the inspiration photo. She did my hair for the trial, and when I wasn’t sure if it was exactly what I wanted, she was so quick to suggest adjustments and work with me until I felt 100% confident. On my wedding day, my hair was everything I dreamed of and more—elegant, secure, and perfect from start to finish. Katie is so sweet. She actually did my wedding hair for my courthouse ceremony, and on the big day she took care of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup as well as my mom’s. She made sure each one of them looked stunning while still feeling like themselves. The girls couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved their looks and how comfortable Katie made them feel during the process. And a special thank you to Colette, who handled all of the scheduling. She was so accommodating with my needs and always willing to adjust things when plans shifted. Having someone so organized and flexible made the whole process stress-free, which is invaluable when planning a wedding. This team went above and beyond to make us look and feel beautiful. Their professionalism, kindness, and talent made such a difference on my wedding day, and I am so grateful for each of them.

I HIGHLY recommend using BBBB for your beauty services. As a bride who doesn't typically wear makeup and has naturally curly/wavy hair, my priority for hair/makeup services was finding a place who would make me look and feel beautiful and confident, but still like myself. The BBBB team KNOCKED it out of the park. Amy (makeup), Milian (hair) and Brenda (hair/makeup) were so kind and professional while doing hair/makeup for myself, my mother, my two grandmothers, my mother-in-law, and my two maids-of-honor. They kept us on schedule, but were flexible when someone was running behind or needed to take a break. Their energy was fun, warm, and relaxing, which helped to really set the tone for the day. Everyone was saying how the morning of the wedding felt almost like a spa experience – it was that relaxing! We all looked beautiful, seriously. And we all felt like *ourselves*, which was a top priority for us. I remarked to my husband that I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life on my wedding day – and I don't know if I'll ever feel more gorgeous! So much of that is attributed to the hair and makeup services I received from BBBB. I felt so confident heading into our wedding day. Not once did I feel preoccupied about my appearance, because the artists crushed it. Thank you BBBB crew for making such a special, cherished day all the more magical.

I did several trials with other companies before i found her and Kim was the ONLY one that completely nailed it! She communicates quickly and is super easy to work with! All of my girls loved her as well! 10000% recommend using her for your wedding!!
