Work with Marci

Marci was a pleasure to work with and a joy to have in the getting ready suite on my wedding day! She was flexible to me shifting our wedding day makeup schedule earlier and her and her partner worked magic on my bridesmaids long hair. My hair and makeup also turned out incredible! She is thoughtful and detail oriented. I can't recommend her enough!

Wonderful Experience!

As a wedding planner, it is so important to work with an A+ vendor team, and whenever clients are on the hunt for a wonderful styling team, I jump at the opportunity to recommend Marci and Rhett of A More Beautiful You (AMBY!) I first connected with Rhett about 5 years ago when she jumped in to save the day for a client whose stylist cancelled last minute. Ever since then, the AMBY team is at the top of my vendor list for styling. They're quick to respond in communication, incredibly reliable and accommodating, and always leave my clients feeling incredibly beautiful with a style that lasts throughout the day and evening! I cannot recommend this team enough and always look forward to working with them!
