Long lasting hair and make-up, on site

Kelly and her make-up artist, Agnes, were great to work with on wedding day. We were able to arrange a trial, despite hiring kind of late in the game. Prices were comparable to other HMU teams we were looking at.

Kelly helped me figure out a bridal look that incorporated elements that I wanted with what would logistically work for my waist/hip length hair. She is knowledgeable about trends and what might be trendy now, but regrettable when looking back at pictures years from now.

Agnes was great working on a variety of skin types, and me and my girls all looked great! She had advice at the trial to help get my skin to is best condition and clearly has an eye for detail. When I asked questions about certain shades or techniques she listened and explained with patience.

We had 5 women for hair and makeup. Started at 10am (when we were allowed access to the venue) and we were ready sometime between 1pm and 2... that morning was all a blur! They were efficient, organized, and prepared. My up-do was secure and comfortable all day- which is not easy to do with as much hair as I have!

It was fun, brought a great vibe, and super flexible and reasonable when I needed a last minute makeup and hair! Made my wedding!

Absolutely amazing!

Kelly and her team are phenomenal! From the start, the booking process was smooth. Kelly made sure to answer all of my questions and was quick to reply (which created so much reassurance from the beginning)! Then, my hair trial went great. Both Kelly and Agnes made sure I was comfortable and happy with the results. Finally, on the big day, Kelly, Agnes, and Gina all arrived on time and started the glam. The team stayed on schedule and made sure that everyone was happy with their hair and make up. They turned a rainy morning into a room of sunshine with their friendliness and professionalism. You can’t go wrong with Brides by Kelly! They deliver nothing but a wonderful experience to make your wedding day as special as can be!

Kelly is a talented hair & make up artist. Kelly and her staff do an amazing job transforming women into picture perfect visions. Kelly even came to assist a client only days before her wedding and was fabulous. I highly recommend her and her team.
