Best Wedding Makeup Artist!!!!

Betsy was absolutely one of the best vendors that we hired for our wedding! Not only was she amazing during the wedding day, we also had a really great time during the trial. She is so calming that there's no way that she will add any stress to your day. She was on time, friendly, and so talented. I cannot recommend her more!

Accommodating and Friendly

I had a small wedding with only a maid of honor in the party. I was organizing my wedding from out of state and Betsy was so accommodating- she worked with us to decide on a look based on pictures we exchanged. We didn't have a chance to do a trial run, but that was no problem because she created the exact looks we wanted the day of the wedding. She finished our hair and makeup much earlier than was expected, so if we needed anything changed or fixed we would have had time to do that. I wore a dress with a cutout in the back and she made sure to check if there were blemishes that I would want covered. I also have really long, really thick hair but wanted an updo and she made it look so elegant. My hair stayed up so well all day, I only had to adjust it once or twice. The makeup and hair photographed so amazingly well, I couldn't be happier.

I'm so glad I hired her, she was kind and fun to have around in the morning as we were preparing for the big day. Thanks Betsy!!!

Betsy made me feel beautiful

When my wedding planner learned that one of my top priorities was amazing wedding photos, she referred me to Betsy. Betsy quickly understood the look and feel I wanted to come across in my wedding photos and used her artistic talent to get everything just right. She even took photos of me at my hair and makeup trial so I knew how her work would appear on camera. When I showed my trial photos to my mother and sister, both wanted Betsy to do their makeup too. Each of us had different make-up needs from minimizing fine lines and wrinkles to covering acne and oily skin. Betsy made us look like the best versions of ourselves, and we all felt gorgeous!

Betsy is wonderful!

Betsy was a great make-up/hair professional and a calm presence amid our wedding nerves. Betsy was on time, prepared, focused, and understood the importance of the day. We loved working with her, and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Betsy’s dream team

Betsy was amazing! She was so easy to work with, responsive throughout the whole process. She also wanted me to feel like myself — I don’t wear much makeup and she went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with my wedding look. My bridesmaids and family also adored Betsy and her team. Highly recommend!

Excellent Wedding Makeup for Grooms & Relatives

My husband and I weren't even planning on hiring a makeup artist for our wedding, but when some of our relatives expressed an interest, we took the plunge. Betsy was great for our Baby Boomer mothers and Millennial sisters, wasn't hyper-bridesmaid-focused in style (which is good, because we're a same-sex male couple and didn't have a wedding party beyond immediate family), and everyone looked FABULOUS! My husband and I also had light makeup done in advance of the ceremony, bringing out the best in us without making us look like we had makeup done in the first place.

Our relatives caused some drama over the scheduling of the makeup work, but Betsy graciously took the whole thing in stride and when all was said and done, everyone was so happy with how they looked and the timing of everything being done. Thank you, Betsy!

Amazing Hair & Makeup

Betsy was incredible- she was so patient and professional.
The amount of people getting makeup kept changing and she took the changes in stride. She ended up adding a helper for the day, Amber, who was incredible. Amber worked on the kids and made them look great and she knew how to talk to them and keep them occupied.
She gave everyone in the wedding party a unique look and everyone felt and looked beautiful.
She organized the timing of everything from the kids, parents/in-law to me (the bride) our makeup and hair lasted the entire event and the pictures look great.
She was cool under pressure and accommodated my mother’s health issues.
I had 2 trials one with Betsy one with someone else and there was no competition, Betsy knew what to do, didn’t overdo my makeup or hair- the colors were right. She took a picture of the trial so I could refer back to it, which helped enormously and it helped her for the actual day of.
She also provided everyone with a touch up kit which was so helpful and sweet.
I was so nervous while getting my makeup done- it ended up being just me and my future step daughter in the room and I think I could have chewed glass and not minded it, I was just so nervous thinking about the life change I was making and Betsy’s presence was calming- I think I would have just cried had I been left in the room by myself- thinking about the day and the commitment I was making, but Betsy was centering in her calmness and professionalism and I am so grateful for that.
My sister in law just texted me out of the blue to tell me how great Betsy was and my mom also sent her a giant thank you email.
I wish I had more occasions to work with Betsy because I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her anytime I needed extraordinary hair & makeup.

Gorgeous work!

I cannot be happier with my choice of hair and makeup artist! Betsy was professional and kind and turned me, my mother and my sister into the most beautiful versions of ourselves. She will do exactly what you ask and will offer opinions when requested. She was reasonably priced, to boot.
Even more - when my wedding venue shut down unexpectedly two weeks before my wedding, she contacted wedding planners she knew and offered to help me find a new location for my wedding. She went above and beyond and I could't be more thrilled with her service. The highest recommendation for Betsy!

Hair and Makeup for Two Brides? No Problem!

From the initial trial to our wedding day, my wife and I loved working with Betsy. She has a sweet and calming demeanor that was so needed during the craziness of the wedding day. She was very collaborative and patient with us as we went through the process of finding our perfect look. It took us a couple of trials to get it just right and each time Betsy was willing to meet with us to figure it out. Going to her studio was a treat. It was a perfect blend of Nancy Meyers and LA cool with a killer soundtrack to complete the vibe. Betsy made two brides very happy on their wedding day. She did both our hair and makeup with plenty of time to spare. The day of the wedding she brought Natasha to work on the two moms. The four of us had a different, unique look. Not to brag but we all looked beautiful thanks to her.

A Natural look for the best me!

Betsy was a delight to work with. She was incredibly responsive with short turnaround times, changing the time of our trial run and the start time for hair and make up on the day. She really listened to what I wanted - a natural look that made me look like my best me. My partner hates make-up, but really thought I looked great on the day.

I really recommend a trial run - it gave me the confidence that I would look great on the day, so that morning I could just relax while Betsy did her thing. We tried a couple different looks for my eyes, and a few lipsticks - which was fun and again just reassuring for me since I rarely wear much make up (mascara only!).

She also did a great job on my hair, making it look like how I imagine it looks when I wear it down (but which it almost never looks like when I do it!).

She was a great part of the team and it was so fun to look at the photos and feel like I actually look good in all of them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Betsy is a true professional and artist. She really stays true to her motto by making you the most beautiful version of you. Being a videographer, I see all the behind the scenes of the process Betsy goes through with a bride on her wedding day. From the first brush stroke to the last touch-up, she works her magic and the results really show well on camera. For one of the most important days of your life, which will happen to be the day you'll be photographed and video taped more than any other time of your life, I highly suggest hiring Betsy to give you the look that will be captured for a life time of memories.
