A must have vendor on your team!!

Working with Cassandra and her team is literally like a dream. They are professional, talented and really care about the overall client experience. Setting a calm yet fun tone to the beginning of our client's wedding day which gives them the boost for the rest of the day. I highly recommend working with Cassandra when you get the chance! Best in the business!!

Cassandra is everything!

Where to begin! Working with Cassandra and her team for my wedding hair and makeup was honestly a dream come true. Cassandra is an amazing person - she truly cares for her clients so much and I felt like she was so invested in me and my wedding weekend. She was so kind and accommodating at each stage of the process. I had the best time with Cassandra and Mai at my hair and makeup trial as we worked together to design my wedding day look - they are both so talented. Cassandra and Mai did my makeup and hair for my Friday night welcome party and helped me create the most glamorous, fun look. I opted for a more timeless look on my wedding day and Cassandra and Mai delivered - I felt absolutely beautiful. Cassandra's entire team also helped my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful. Cassandra's lovely and calming presence truly had such an important impact on my wedding day - she anticipated every move and need throughout the day. I loved having her there for seamless touch ups throughout the morning, pre-wedding photos, and after the ceremony before our first dance and reception. I loved every part of working with Cassandra and her team and truly couldn't recommend her more highly - I can't imagine my wedding day without her!

10/10 would recommend

I really wanted Cassandra to do my wedding hair and makeup because I wanted to be a more beautiful version of myself - but still obviously myself. I don't normally wear much makeup for my everyday look, so I didn't want to look unnatural (or like a different person) on my wedding day - I wanted the romantic natural look and Cassandra totally delivered!!

She was super understanding and flexible when our original wedding date had to be rescheduled due to COVID. Same with our engagement shoot - I'm so thankful we were also able to do our engagement shoot on a day when Cassandra could come and fix me up.

I have never felt so beautiful, like an enhanced version of myself. The makeup didn't feel heavy and looked natural. I also want to commend Cassandra on tackling my super thick unruly Asian hair. Our trial run proved very beneficial as both the hair and makeup turned out perfectly for our wedding - even better than I could've imagined. Thank you so much Cassandra!

Made my dream wedding

I cannot express enough the amazingness that is Cassandra Kennedy beauty. From the beginning consultation, to the trial, to the actual wedding day; I was beyond thrilled with everything. The business is handled wonderfully by Cassandra, who is so responsive, flexible, and kind. But even though I didn’t work with Cassandra her team was incredible! Megan and Christina knocked it out of the park! They are so professional and down to earth and extremely talented ladies! They only added to the memory of the day! Highly recommend booking with these ladies, your wedding dreams will come true.

Best decision ever (both for actual services and critical calming presence)

Cassandra was positively amazing - had initially decided to go with another company but after a poor trial realized I needed someone who really knew their craft. Cassandra was worth every penny and then some. Not only is she a master at her craft, but extremely intuitive, calming, and generally fun to be around. Her years of experience in the NYC wedding scene really shows through and she is able to capture your best self with the least amount of product needed. She also had the most incredible presence - I was really stressed during our trial and she immediately made note and sat me down to talk about it, providing a lot of guidance and laughs to get me out of it and on my way. She made my MOH & mom feel like rockstars as well which I really appreciated. I cannot overstate how critical she was to the day and how much more confident I felt with her help. 100% recommend.

Praise Hands

Whelp, I visited this site, Wedding Wire, and The Knot, hoping to post a big ass review praising everything about Cassandra, but everything on those rave reviews is true, so I'm just going to upvote them. A couple stories instead.
1. My niece ( 2 1/2 years old) who, like any toddler, is more interested in running around in circles than anything or anybody else, stopped in her tracks when I emerged from the make-up room with Cassandra on my wedding day. She gasped. "You look puh-reeeeety!!!"
2. My nephew (10 years old) who, like any young boy, is not interested in complimenting his aunt, had a jaw drop and said, "It's still your face, but better!"
I mean...what two higher compliments are there?
In sum, Cassandra is a calming artisan. She chats to you about your vision before she does anything, she'll keep the vibes ideal and, if she brings an assistant (we had Renee), she will also be a goddess of beauty. As an aside, my mother and my mother-in-law were both anxious cases, with my mom having all kinds of makeup allergies, and my mother-in-law scared to death of looking too done up, and I had to worry not at ALL with Cassandra and Renee in charge. Those women were, as Cassandra said, "totally feelin themselves" when they walked out of that room. Thank God. Instead of dealing with it myself, I just had a mimosa and kept on living my life.
Attached are photos of me, my maid of honor (Renee did her hair!), and my mother in law at the very end of the day, mind you! Her pic was taken 8 hours AFTER getting it all done, on an 85 degree, humid, day!
Anyhoo, I love Cassandra and she is a shooting star. Get her while you can.

Nothing short of amazing!

Cassandra went out of her way to make sure I was happy with my wedding look. She knew exactly what she was talking about and gave great recommendations. When the wedding day came, she made me and my bridesmaids look amazing. I felt beautiful all day thanks to her. She is very fun and sweet to work with, cannot express enough how happy I am that I chose her.

Our top referral!

We've had the pleasure of referring clients to Cassandra and her team for several years. All of our brides and their ladies have loved their looks. I took this referral for granted until having Cassandra do bridesmaid makeup on me. As a new mom, there haven't been many days where I've worn much makeup and I haven't really felt like myself in... well, years. Cassandra made me feel so beautiful - a younger, fresher, more alive (awake) version of myself. She's truly an artist and such a sweet person to boot. Thank you, Cassandra for not only taking care of all of our ladies over the years, but for making me feel beautiful too. You're a gem!

Exceptional Hair and Makeup Services

I was looking for someone who could provide a more natural look for my wedding day, and I am thrilled I found Cassandra Kennedy for my hair and makeup services. Paige did an amazing job styling 7 people's hair and helping a couple very nervous and some very demanding wedding party members feel comfortable and happy. And Renee and Liz did an outstanding job on makeup, working to meet each person's individual style.

Overall, Cassandra Kennedy was extremely responsive, happy to answer any questions, and organized. I would highly recommend them.

Can I give more than 5 stars?? Cassandra and her assistant did a stellar job with bridal and bridal-party hair and makeup for my summer wedding. She is funny, no-fuss, honest, and so chill/calm (very important on your Big Day!) Super professional-- arrived EARLY and brought all her own setup equipment. My mom was so thrilled with how Cassandra did up her short, tricky curly hair-- such a pretty MOB-do! She ALSO pulled off some kind of magic with my hair-- seriously, the girl has some real tricks up her sleeve and was able to install a hairpiece in my super-fine, super-thin hair for a gorgeous updo that looked totally real. It held up like concrete, too, even with a veil-stepping-incident pulling at it, and a windy/sweaty day. My makeup was perfect-- exactly what I wanted! It looked like the prettiest version of me, without seeming like I had a ton of makeup on. She even did eyelash extensions! The makeup also held up beautifully for the whole wedding, no running mascara even with tears... I felt guilty cleaning it off at the end of the day! Most of all, though, she was a calm and soothing presence during a very hectic get-ready. She even stayed later than her contracted time to help out my photographer, and touch me up during our first looks, and wrangled my wedding party too. Cassandra was my wedding HERO and I am so grateful to her. She truly went WAY above and beyond-- so worth the pricing. HIGHLY recommend!
PS--- her assistant artist did an awesome job, too-- my stepdaughter is obsessed with makeup and said it was the BEST makeup job she's ever had (high praise!)
