Melissa was one of the best wedding vendors that I worked with. She is a true professional and did a fantastic job from start to finish. Melissa is a great person who has a very nice touch, which made everyone feel so comfortable. She did my hair and make-up for engagement photos, however I did not do a "wedding trial" since I don't live in town. I basically had just a few ideas of what I wanted for my wedding look. I put my trust in Melissa and let her go to work. She listened and gave me everything I wanted and some things I never expected. She did a beautiful job on my hair and makeup and it looked great in person and on camera. One of the best things about Melissa, is that she is very thorough and was there with me from start to finish. She did a great job touching up my make-up before, during and after the ceremony.We even did a "second look" for the reception, which was amazing! I can't thank Melissa enough for her amazing work, personality, and patients! Do your self a favor and go with Brides by Melissa for your next event!

Melissa was fabulous!! I hired her to do my makeup for my wedding and couldn't have found anyone better. It was important to me that I still looked like me on my big day, and not overly done. I felt gorgeous the entire day.

Melissa was a last minute decision because my makeup artist I had prior had gotten ill. I never had a chance to have a consult with her not had I met her before my wedding. She drove to San Diego, I put her up in a hotel with her assistant and she was very prompt and responsive. I was so incredibly impressed the morning of my wedding day because she was thorough, professional and downright the sweetest and best decision I had made! My makeup and everyone else's stayed all day and night. I would (and have) recommended her to everyone I know getting married - shes a superstar!!!
