Best makeup artist ever!!!

Kat was so helpful in getting ready for my wedding. She helped me get a great look by explaining which products would be the best in photos and last the whole day. She also helped calm my nerves before the wedding which I cannot tell you enough about how soothing it is to have someone bring their calming aura into the craziness that was my hotel suite. 10 out of 10.

At the same time, I would love to recommend Kat to all the brides, she will make sure you are the most beautiful bride in the world.

Kat is incredibly talented and delightful to work with. She was completely unafraid of my naturally curly hair and I was so happy with my wedding day look. She listened carefully to my initial request and made tweaks based on my feedback during my trial. I am very picky about my hair (it's my pride and joy) and I LOVED what she did on my wedding day. I highly recommend her to any bride!

Wonderful Service!!

My experience with Kat was wonderful. She was great to work with and always responded rather quickly. While getting my hair and makeup done with her on wedding day we all felt super comfortable and like we had all been friends for a long time. My hair and makeup was amazing and exactly what I had wanted it to be! I was really nervous hiring someone who wasn't local as my wedding was 3-4 hours away from home but communication was a breeze and I am so glad with my choice! I highly recommend! Kat does not disappoint!

Perfect Look!

We do not have enough amazing things to say about Kat! She really made my day perfect with the hair and makeup look, it was exactly what I dreamed of. My makeup looked just as great after sweating all night on the dance floor as when Kat applied everything at 10 am.

Kat was wonderful! She was professional but still seemed to enjoy and partake in the fun my bridesmaids and myself were having getting ready for my wedding. I loved my hair and makeup - she did exactly what I requested and I felt beautiful the whole day. Airbrush is magical. I would (and will) recommend her to anyone who needs hair and make up done for their special day!

I will never forget our AMAZING wedding day! Kat from Always Elegant LLC was a very important factor in our wedding going so well. Kat was involved in so many aspects of our special day from the flowers and cake to the makeup and hair... Kat did it all and did it well! Kat came to our destination wedding city a week before our big day and made sure everything was in place as it should be. I was so relaxed with Kat in control that I fell asleep by the pool the morning of our big day:) Kat made sure that everything was in order and placed appropriately to create everything that we had ever dreamed of! From the placement of the tables to the flawless arrangement of our cupcakes and flowers, the schedule of the service and the placement of the wedding party, Kat from Always Elegant LLC made our special day one to remember! I will never be able to express my true gratitude but, THANK YOU ALWAYS ELEGANT LLC and KAT!!!!

Felt so cared for!

We hired Kat in 2019 for our 2020 wedding and had to postpone multiple times due to the pandemic. Kat was flexible and understanding throughout the entire time. When we finally got married in 2022, I was so grateful we could still have Kat there to do my hair and makeup. She was punctual, professional, kind, and caring. It was hard to find a HMA for just 2 people (many of them require a minimum of 5 people) but she cares so much about her clients and wants each bride to feel special. I didn't realize how important it was to find a great HMA for your wedding day until I spent all morning with her. She started the tone of my wedding day. I felt so cared for and calm because of her. Thank you, Kat, for helping make my day so special. I highly recommend booking her for your wedding!

Absolutely a joy to work with. As a photographer I see a lot of people do make up, hair, etc. I love how she listened to what her bride wanted, could correct anything to a brides liking, and made her look absolutely stunning!
