    Perfect wedding hair!

    Amanda & Jodi were a joy to work with on my wedding day at Bolton Valley in VT and all throughout the planning process. Amanda traveled to my home for a trial a few months prior which was incredibly helpful to discuss my vision and how we could make it happen. The communication from Hannah throughout the process was top notch. During the big day, Amanda and Jodi were professional, caring, and kind. They made all of my bridesmaids feel absolutely beautiful! And of course, I felt like a million bucks. Would highly recommend working with the Hopcraft Collective for all of your bridal hair needs!

    I mean wow

    We used Hopcraft Collective for wedding makeup and WOW. Blown away! From the responsiveness and communication of the team, to the reminders, to the ease of booking and the friendliness and skill of the team. Could not recommend more highly!

    Fantastic HMU services!

    Had such a fantastic experience working with Sarah and Lauren from Hopcraft Collective on my wedding day! They tag teamed hair and makeup flawlessly, listening in detail to what each of the ladies wanted. As the bride, I absolutely loved my hair and makeup! I couldn't recommend their services more!

    Gorgeous natural wedding hair and makeup

    Amanda from Hopcraft Collective did the hair and makeup for my wedding, and Amanda was wonderful work with! Amanda's hair and makeup looks for my bridal party were beautiful, polished, and showed off everyone's natural beauty! The process of working with Amanda's team was also smooth and stress free - Amanda and I had an initial call so she could learn about my vision for hair and makeup, Hannah from Amanda's team was really communicative about scheduling a trial and making sure all logistics were in order ahead of the wedding day, and Amanda was wonderful to work with - she listened to everyone's preferences and created gorgeous hair and makeup looks for my bridal party and me! The whole experience was exactly what I had hoped for, and I highly recommend Amanda and her team!

Amanda had an eye for detail and took her time to make sure I felt confident and beautiful throughout the entire day. She was reliable, organized and meticulous in her approach, and such a calming presence to be around. Amanda is an absolute pro - HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding!!

    Hire Amanda and her team NOW


    Amanda and her team are, simply put, the best. We had to hire Amanda last minute (3 months before our wedding- due to unforeseen circumstances) and she worked with me to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful and worked with me to fit a trial in before our wedding day. She did my hair and makeup for both the wedding day and the night before. She gave me the sassy & fun look I wanted for Friday night and the glowy, natural, still look like myself but slightly glammed up version for my wedding. She helped me pivot and remained calm when it rained and I couldn’t wear my hair down anymore. We added services the day of and she didn’t blink an eye. Her team gave me eye patches on my wedding day when I was a little overserved Friday night. They helped me feel my best and my makeup and hair lasted through the rain and all the dancing. She was reliable, organized and meticulous in her approach, and such a calming presence to be around. Could not recommend Amanda and her team more. Hire them now- you won’t regret it.

    Amazing Experience!

    Amanda and her team are incredible and I highly recommend! When I originally contacted them they were only available to do the makeup side of my wedding, but spent extra time to find someone to manage our hair also! This extra effort was really special! Only having to work with one point of contact for both pieces made my day even easier! Everyone that had their hair and makeup done on the big day were incredibly complementary of everything! All of the details came together perfectly and Amanda and her team ensured it was easy and stress free!

    Impeccable! HIGHLY recommend.

    Amanda and the whole team at Hopcraft Collective were absolutely incredible to work with! The team did the hair and makeup for myself, my mother, and my aunt for my wedding. They were impeccable. Amanda in particular paid so much attention to detail and wanted to make sure that her work was prefect, and that we looked amazing all night (which we sure did!).

    I cannot recommend Hopcraft Collective enough. Not only was the service flawless, but Amanda and the team also brought such a positive and fun energy to the wedding experience overall. They all truly added so much happiness and joy to my day. Thank you, Amanda, for making my wedding day the best it could have been!

    Awesome, easy & beautiful

    manda did my wedding make up! We did a trial and tweaked it to make it perfect. She was super accommodating to my bridesmaids who wanted a more natural look than I did. And was able to make us all look beautiful! Super easy to work with!

    Forever Grateful for Amanda!

    Amanda made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She and her team did both hair and make up for me, my bridesmaids, my mother and hair for my mother-in-law and flower girls. We all looked absolutely gorgeous! I did an extended trial with Amanda and knew as soon as I left that I needed her the day of! I had done a trial with a different vendor first and the experience I had with Amanda was unmatched. I never knew my hair could even look like that- I was blown away! I decided to get her premium bridal package and she was worth every penny. Amanda was very professional and always responded quickly. I am forever grateful for Amanda!

    Perfect makeup

    Amanda did such a phenomenal job on everyone's makeup from the bride and bridesmaids to the mother of the bride and groom. I love how everyone looked like themselves, but a bit more glammed up. She worked with everyone's personal preferences and everyone loved how their makeup turned out. We received so many compliments. Amanda herself is such a kind person and was a pleasure to work with. She was so professional and her responses were extremely prompt. We had to reschedule our wedding twice (thanks covid) but she was flexible through all of that.

    Just Fabulous

    Casey Powell and Sara Jane absolutely killed it for my wedding. They styled hair for myself, 8 bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid, and my mom on the day of my wedding. Each style was more stunning than the next, and I was extremely happy with my updo as well! Both ladies were super flexible when a major hiccup happened that morning and they had to travel to a new location. Amanda Hopcraft was also very pleasant to work with and super communicative throughout. I'm so grateful that I chose their team to make us look our absolute best!! All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their look as well, which was important to me! :)

    Amazing experience with Amanda and her team!

    Amanda was incredible to work with. She is fun, calm, and made me feel so comfortable. She was able to do my hair and makeup exactly the way I wanted it for my wedding! She even came to my apartment months prior to do the trial run! She also made the wedding party look perfect as well! On my actual wedding day she even came back right before my ceremony to help touch up my hair, which was beyond what was expected. I highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for someone to do their hair and makeup for their wedding.

    Gorgeous hair and makeup and great people

    Amanda and McKenna did hair and makeup for myself, my mom, and my four bridesmaids the day of my wedding. Amanda was very responsive throughout the planning process and arrived right on time the day of the wedding. They both really took the time to understand what each of us wanted to our specific look based on the photos we all showed. Everyone was so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out, and each of my bridesmaids said they loved how friendly Amanda and McKenna were and that it made the day even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    Makeup for wedding

    Amanda’s team did an amazing makeup for me and 3 of my bridesmaids. She was so flexible when we had to change our wedding date due covid. I’m so happy I chose you and your team so grateful! Thank you for making me beautiful on my special day! My makeup looked great the whole time considering we got married on a beach.

    Exceeded My Expectations!

    I couldn't have asked for a better person to make me feel like the most beautiful person on my wedding day. From the moment I spoke to Amanda she was always upfront with cost and services. Her communication was excellent and she always answered any questions or concerns I had! I knew she was going to be excellent but the fact that she saw my hair once at my trial and was able to get the exact matching extensions for my wedding day was just a cherry on top of her great service! We had the pleasure of having Amanda and Amelia help with myself and my bridesmaids and we all left feeling our best! I highly recommend Amanda and her team, you will not be disappointed!

    Blown Away! Book Her!

    I am so thankful that I booked Amanda to beautify me for my wedding day! I actually booked her for my wedding as well as an Adventure Session with my photographer. Not only is she just an awesome person, her work is on point! I barely wear makeup, I never blow dry my hair and so many HMUAs cake makeup on to the point you don't even look like yourself...and she was perfect. The quality of the makeup was great and I Iooked like an elevated/elegant version of myself. Not to mention my hair was perfection! My best friend saw how great she did and even asked to add services, it was so great she was flexible. She also did a beard trim for my hubs. She also made me feel very safe during this pandemic and left me a goody bag of the items she used on me for touchups! WORTH EVERY PENNY!

    Amazing Choice!

    I felt immediately at ease with Amanda from our first phone call. She and her team did hair and makeup for my engagement shoot (fitting me in after a wedding at the last minute!), my trial session, and my wedding (party of 9). Myself and my girls range from novices to seasoned with hair and makeup. Amanda and her team listened to our wants, offered suggestions and guidance when needed, and executed flawlessly! Seriously one of the best vendor decisions I made for my wedding day!

    Booked two weeks before my wedding without a trial and everyone looked amazing!

    I had booked a hair and makeup artist over a year before my wedding and was set on my look from the trial when she backed out 30 days before the wedding. I scrambled to find someone local and did another trial but we didn’t share the same vision and ultimately it didn’t work. After doing two trials and still not having anyone I was feeling so disheartened. I came across Amanda’s page 16 days before my wedding and I could see the consistency and quality of her photos (which I thoroughly stalked of course). I reached out and she quickly setup time to connect and talk about my needs and vision. There was a quick sigh of relief from our first conversation and I booked her instantly with no trial. Obviously this was a gamble but with all the changes our wedding had gone through, I didn’t have the energy or time with two weeks left.

    I could not have made a better decision. Amanda was everything we could have wanted and more. She was meticulous with planning and scheduling- a huge relief to me as a Type A person. In a few hours, and ahead of schedule, she was able to do everyone’s hair and/or makeup flawlessly based on pictures or just discussion. Her ability to interpret and translate a few Pinterest photos and bring something to life is incredible. Some of my bridesmaids have very thick hair and we’re truly shocked at how quickly their hair was done, how great it looked while feeling secure, and it stayed perfectly in place the entire night. She is truly talented and used high quality products that lasted ALL DAY. I was in a unique situation booking so close to my wedding but Amanda was amazing, made my day stress free, and everyone looked gorgeous.

    Amazing hair and makeup experience with Amanda

    From the moment I talked to Amanda Hopcraft on the phone, I felt at ease and comfortable telling her about my vision for my hair and makeup. The makeup trial went perfectly. She took the pictures I took on Pinterest and made it even better. Amanda did an amazing job on hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids on our wedding day. My hair and makeup stayed in place even with the wind and all the sweating on the dance floor. I just felt so relaxed and at ease with Amanda doing my hair and makeup. She made the getting ready process so relaxing and fun. I highly recommend Amanda!

    Amazing!

    The best thing I did was book Amanda and her team for my wedding! They were truly AMAZING! I had a hard time finding hair and make up for my wedding in Vermont (I am from downstate NY). My first call with Amanda I knew I had to book her, she immediately calmed my nerves about everything and was so helpful. She was quick to respond to every email and question I had! Her team is just as amazing as she is! My bridesmaids are still talking about their hair and make up I don't think i've ever seen such talent as I did with Amanda and her team. They were so talented, kind and helped make the getting ready process stress free. I wish I could hire them as my glam squad for all my beauty needs!!

    10/10 would recommend

    Amanda and her team were incredible for me and my girls during my wedding day. I had a lot of makeup artists that I was in between - a lot of girls from social media and what not - but what mattered to me at the end of the day was someone who knew what she was doing and had gone through this a million times. A large team that was ready to work and be there for me the day of. They were incredible! During our trial run, she explained and answered all of my questions and we practiced and talked about the things we needed to fix on the day of. When my wedding day rolled around, she remembered and it couldn't have been easier! She 100% took her time to make sure I was happy. She even happily spoke to my bridesmaids and everything worked beautifully. I definitely recommend her! I think what matters more than just being able to "do her job" was the fact that she could tell me common dos and donts, what to expect, and really understood the time crunch. I loved her! 100% wouldn't have traded her on my special day. Thank you tons Amanda!

    Exactly what I was looking for!

    Amanda was the absolute perfect person for our day and a total blast to work with! My husband and I were married last summer in Vermont (for those of you who do not know Amanda works in New England during several months of the year!). She was able to create exactly the look that I wanted (dewy, fresh, clean skin with a focus on the eyes). She also provided me with some amazing skin care tips during my trial that were total game changers. I truly felt like I looked like me, but the absolute best version of me. Amanda was also able to create a look for my mother and mother in law that was natural and comfortable for both of them (neither wear much make-up and had a lot of worry about looking "done-up" on this special day). In the same sense she was able to create a more dramatic flare for my sister in law who was looking for something a little bolder. especially for her eyes. Basically, she is extremely gifted, versatile, and able to listen to whatever look you are interested in and nail it! I appreciated how straightforward and honest she was, it really helped put me at ease on my big day. Lastly, Amanda works incredibly fast which was also impressive with the quality of the work she does. Book Amanda and her team and you will not be disappointed!
