She went above and beyond to make everything feel special and made us feel so comfortable. so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone! She made me feel confident and beautiful.

1000000/10. Amazing in every way possible

I booked Carolyn and her team for both hair and make up for myself, my bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom. From my trial to the big day, the responsiveness and communication was amazing! Carolyn was warm, kind, compassionate, and is truly talented. Her attention to detail was incredible. Carolyn and her team are worth every penny and so much more. I also booked Carolyn for her VIP service which was the best decision and so worth it. She touched up my hair and make up all day long and even with the rain my make up stayed on and look perfect, she also captured additional content throughout the day which was also incredible. She went way above and beyond and truly cares about her clients. I would recommend her over anyone else!

Carolyn is truly the bridal makeup QUEEN

I am truly blown away with Carolyn’s bridal makeup that she did for my wedding. She is very professional and is very organized! She transformed me into the most beautiful bride! I recommend her 1000000% for any kind of bridal look you’re considering. I personally don’t love a heavy eye look, and she took that into account but still gave me the most perfect bridal glam!!

Best decision I could have made for my wedding day

Carolyn brings the amazing energy that you want on the morning of your wedding day. She was the first vendor I booked and it was the best decision I could have made. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life. My makeup did not budge the entire night and it was pouring on my wedding day. I will recommend Carolyn to every future bride I come across. She is not only an amazing artist but an amazing person as well. You will not regret booking her for your special day!

Wow what an awesome experience!!

Carolyn is a non negotiable for the wedding! She brought the vibes, the skills and everything! Loved her! I am a sweaty person and literally my make up did not move one bit !!! Everyone said I looked like I had a filter all night !!! She makes sure all your features are shown and make you feel sooooo comfortable! She will be back for my sister and cousins weddings! I am Middle Eastern so I am super picky, so the fact that she met my expectations and above spoke soooo many words! Hire her, invest in yourself because you literally won’t regreat!!!!!!! B

The best wedding makeup ever!

I do not even know where to begin. From start to finish Carolyn was absolutely amazing. Her energy the morning of my wedding was unmatched. She truly takes her time and listens to you. My makeup stayed FLAWLESS and I mean flawless for 12 plus hours and I did not need to touch up once. You really look like a filter in real life. I already have family and friends saying they are booking her. She is the best and there is truly no one else I would have trusted on my wedding day. 10/10 experience. She is the best of the best!!!

Carolyn & Her Team Were Absolutely Amazing!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Carolyn and her team! From the very beginning, Carolyn was so personable, kind, and easy to work with. She has such a warm personality and made the entire experience feel comfortable, relaxed, and fun — exactly the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding morning!

My makeup came out absolutely beautiful and I truly felt like the best version of myself. Carolyn listened to exactly what I wanted while also using her expertise to make everything come together perfectly. She is incredibly talented, but beyond that, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and cares about the people sitting in her chair. She is definitely in the right career!

Her team was also amazing. They were professional, personable, and did such a beautiful job with everyone. Having them there made getting ready such a fun and seamless part of the day.

I’m so happy Carolyn and her team were part of my wedding day and would recommend them over and over again to any bride. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🤍

Bridal Glam ✨👰🏼‍♀️

I am so happy I had Carolyn’s makeup artistry for my wedding day!! From the very start communication was great and there was never a question on pricing as everything was very transparent. They worked with me on timeline, adding people to my contract, and made sure everyone was done at my preferred time with time for last minute touch ups. Carolyn and her assistant were professional and so nice. They listened to everything from full glam to more softer glam for some and it was exactly what everyone wanted. They made the morning fun and calmed my nerves. The airbrush makeup felt great and stayed on even with an outdoor ceremony in 80 degree weather. Very happy I chose Carolyn and her team for making me feel my very best on my wedding day😊❤️

Gorgeous Bridal Glam!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Carolyn and Daly! They were absolutely incredible from beginning to end and played such a special part in making my wedding day feel perfect.

They took the time to understand exactly what I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. I felt so confident, comfortable, and beautiful, and my hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire day—even through all the photos, dancing, and celebrating!

Carolyn and her team were also extremely professional, organized, and punctual, which made getting ready feel completely stress-free. They were so talented, sweet, and genuinely such a joy to have around on my wedding morning.

I am beyond grateful that I chose them for my wedding day. If you are a bride looking for a hair and makeup team that will make you feel absolutely beautiful while also making the morning fun and enjoyable, I could not recommend Carolyn, Daly, and their team more! 🤍
