Celeste was a true dream to work with for my wedding day from beginning to end! She was extremely responsive, professional, and just the nicest person all around. During my trial she took into account the time of my afternoon wedding, the elements the makeup would be exposed to with a March wedding, and afterwards made minor adjustments based on how it held up with my skin. The day of, Celeste and Dori were prompt and ran on schedule with our group (5 hair, 4 makeup), they didn't even blink with my two large dogs roaming around, and everyone there commented at how kind they both were and a pleasure to have around that morning! All of our hair and makeup held up all day despite the pouring rain that had started an hour before the ceremony. Celeste is a true experienced artist and professional, and I am so thankful for her and Dori!

Celeste was amazing! She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding day. I’ve never had my makeup professionally done, and was just all around nervous about not looking like myself on my wedding day. We did a trial in her home where she really took the time to listen to me and what I was looking for. She was so relaxed and friendly and the trial really put my mind at ease for the day of. My two bridesmaids had their hair/makeup done and my mom and my best friend got their makeup done.

Celeste and her assistant worked some serious magic! My entire bridal party was gushing about what a great job they did. I really felt that Celeste took time and effort to review the trial we did and make small improvements - I loved my makeup and hair even more on the day of my wedding! Everyone else really loved their look and loved the energy they both brought to our getting-ready. I would 100% recommend Celeste for your wedding hair and makeup needs!

TLDR: Magical hair and makeup that, somehow, stays all day and night…through rain, tears and sweat! Celeste and her assistant were punctual, calm and just so dang good.

The Deets:
I could not have been more thrilled with my hair and makeup! Celeste was communicative and on top of things leading up to my wedding day. She was so understanding as my mother and mother in law were deciding their services (even up to the week of!). Celeste and her assistant did the hair and makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids. They then did the hair for my mother and two flower girls (the older of whom got a little “makeup” to help her feel a little bit more special!).

My morning-of wasn't quite what I had hoped - we were stuck in my room due to the rain, so things got more cramped than I anticipated, and I was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Celeste was cool, calm and collected as the team worked through our hair and makeup schedule. Everything felt so in-hand and she listened to each party member as they explained what hair or makeup style they wanted.

One of my bridesmaids really doesn't wear a lot of makeup so she felt a bit overwhelmed initially. Celeste was able to help us create a look that she felt really comfortable with and that was light while still being impactful. Everyone looked so, so gorgeous.

Now, I CANNOT believe how well my hair and makeup kept up throughout the day!! I sobbed, took photos in the rain, sobbed again, danced, ate, sweated…yes, I was a mess, haha! Yet everything held up and wore beautifully from beginning to end, I didn't need to worry about a THING.

I cannot recommend Celeste enough. You won't regret hiring someone who listens so intently, brings such calm and beautiful energy and executes so flawlessly.
