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!

Working with Rhett!

Marci and Rhett of A More Beautiful You (AMBY) were great to work with! Rhett was our main stylist/communicator--he was flexible and responsive with my inquiry and subsequent questions regarding booking services for myself and 5 bridesmaids for an August 2025 wedding. We were able to do a trial run, and he did a fantastic job making alterations where needed for the ceremony look. Everything held up perfectly, and I felt natural and beautiful! Rhett made conversation with each of us but was calm, easy-going and focused the whole morning. Rhett delivered beautiful looks for all of us, and he was so fun to hang out with! We would definitely recommend AMBY!

Perfect natural glam

My bridesmaids and I loved working with Rhett and Josephine! They did such a great job tailoring everyone's hair and makeup to each person's style while also creating a cohesive vibe. Rhett nailed the more natural look I wanted to fit with our outdoor ceremony - the trial was great, but Rhett made a few tweaks the day of based on my feedback to make it even more perfect. They also did a great job doing the hair and makeup for my husband's mother and my mother. I'm so happy we hired A More Beautiful You!

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!

The best hair and makeup!

Marci was a pleasure to work with! She answered all my questions and chose stylists to suite my needs. Angi and Rae were awesome! They came fully prepared and made everyone look so beautiful. Angi did my hair and it was perfect, looked exactly like my inspo picture!

Truly made me feel special!

I loved working with Angi! I highly recommend you doing a trial run first, because we were able to spend a lot more time experimenting with different looks so that I felt much more comfortable on the wedding day. Angi did my hair & makeup as well as two of my bridesmaids and did touch-ups for my groom. She is so down to earth and made us feel really comfortable. One of the most important things to note is that the hair and makeup lasted the whole night! Truly grateful for Angi.

A lifesaver!

Marci was a lifesaver for my wedding in June of 2022! I had booked services with another company who were unable to accommodate additional services for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. Marci was very helpful in getting our services scheduled with short notice. She did hair and makeup for the mother of the bride and groom. The mother of the bride had to say " She was very personable and professional. She took pride in her job and said she loved what she did and was proud to play a small part in such important occasions. She took a lot of time to see what what colors looked the best on me." Thank you so much Marci!

A Wonderful Experience!!

Marci and her team were awesome!! She was responsive and flexible as we finalized our wedding day timeline, and did everything possible to make sure our hair and makeup process was fun, relaxing, and efficient. The results were beautiful - my bridesmaids and I did a variety of natural makeup looks with both updos and long hairstyles, and Marci, Angi, and Conni did a great job of bringing the looks we wanted to life. Highly recommend working with this team for your wedding!

Wonderful experience! Very professional, we were gorgeous!

This was so much fun! Marci and Rae were amazing. Organized, efficient, professional but fun, too. We had such a good time getting hair and makeup done before the rehearsal dinner. There were a lot of us. Me, the grandmother, two of my daughters, one daughter-in-law, and 7 granddaughters all got "done". It was perfect. Highly recommend! I tried to upload photos but failed. Maybe later. They are proof that it was well worth it!!!
