All I wanted for my wedding was to be a glowy, sparkly, bronze queen with hot pink lipstick. Amanda nailed it. I felt heard during the trial, and SEEN at my wedding. She had me matching the whole vibe of the day. I can’t thank you enough, Amanda, for the time and love you put into my wedding day. You’re such a talent🩷

My wedding planner suggested Hopcraft Collective for my Vermont wedding, and after working with them I understand why. Amanda and her team were exceptional from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, they were responsive, thoughtful, flexible, and genuinely kind—and that same care carried through the preview and the wedding day itself.

Because I rarely wear makeup and usually keep my hair in a bun or braid, I was nervous about having both done professionally for my wedding. It was also important to me that the products be cruelty-free and free of animal products (and animal by-products when possible). Amanda listened carefully and went above and beyond to ensure I felt completely comfortable with every product and every part of the plan. She was also a joy to be around: warm, friendly, easy to talk to, and deeply receptive to feedback.

I had my hair and makeup preview with Amanda the day before the wedding, and I highly recommend it. It gave us time to collaborate on the wedding-day look, and I was even able to enjoy the trial style (which was different from the wedding-day style) at our welcome gathering.

I told Amanda that I wanted to feel like myself on my wedding day—just elevated. I wanted something natural, polished, and never too bold or exaggerated. She understood exactly what I meant. On the day itself, I felt special and stunning while still feeling entirely like me.

Amanda and Jodie, her associate, were equally wonderful with my bridal party and family. The group ranged in age from 9 to 79, and they created looks for each person that felt fresh, fun, and beautifully suited to the individual.

I would hire Hopcraft Collective again in a heartbeat and recommend them without hesitation to any bride looking for exceptional wedding hair and makeup.

There was never a question about who I wanted by my side for my wedding day - Amanda has been doing my hair and makeup for countless occasions over the last decade plus, so when it came time for my destination wedding in Italy, bringing her along was an easy decision.

As much as I've always loved her work, this time was truly exceptional. I have never felt more beautiful in my life.
Amanda and the Hopcraft Collective team traveled all the way to Tuscany and took care of myself and several family members for our welcome party, then 12 of our family on our wedding day. Every single person looked absolutely stunning, and each look felt elevated while still making everyone feel like the best version of themselves.

If you’ve ever traveled to Europe, you know that air conditioning is simply not the same. Doing hair and makeup services in warm spaces with a large group is not ideal, but they made it work! Our outdoor ceremony was held in the summer sun & heat, followed by hours of celebrating well into the night, and our hair and makeup still looked incredible. That alone speaks to the quality of their work and the products they use.

Beyond their talent, Amanda and her team brought such a calming, fun energy to the week. I truly could not have been happier with my decision, and I cannot wait to see and share even more of our professional photos.

Thank you, Amanda, for making me feel so confident, beautiful, and completely myself on the most important day of my life. You are simply the best! ❤️

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about my hair and makeup experience for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Amanda completely understood my vision and brought it to life even more beautifully than I could have imagined. I felt so, so beautiful and that feeling is priceless on your wedding day.

The entire morning was calm, joyful, and incredibly relaxing. She has the most perfect space for getting ready, comfortable, beautiful, and ideal for everyone to be together. My bridesmaids and family all looked stunning, and we genuinely had so much fun laughing and spending the morning together.

One thing that meant so much to me was that she even came to do touch-ups later - simply out of the goodness of her heart because it was SO windy during our photos. That level of care and attention made such a difference and shows how deeply she cares about her brides.

Everything was perfect. I would recommend Amanda a thousand times over to any bride who wants to feel beautiful, relaxed, and completely taken care of on their wedding day.

Amanda is absolutely phenomenal. She is incredibly talented and kind! She is willing to go the extra mile to ensure you receive the look you are wanting! If I ever need a makeup artist in the future, she would be my number one choice!

Amanda and her team were top notch! They took great care to ensure my wedding day was absolutely spot on! Amanda went above and beyond to ensure I was ready for my special day. I encourage anyone looking for professional HMU artist on their special day, chose Amanda and her Hopcraft Collective team!

I had an absolute BLAST working with this team. I was so worried we’d be running late for my 1:30pm ceremony as my other experiences for hair and make up as a bridesmaid can take several hours. They were professional, timely, and truly made everyone look absolutely stunning. I absolutely recommend!

Communication with Amanda from the beginning and throughout the wedding process was seamless. I selected Amanda, because she has a versatile team…I saw results of previous clients on her website and Hopcraft Collective knows how to work on all hair types (curl power girl here)! She is such a personable person, so it made it easy for me to open up. I am more of a slick hair back with gel, no make up kind of person, so I was hesitant, but knew I wanted to be a natural princess for my wedding day. When we did the hair and makeup run through, a friend accompanied me and provided Amanda with input. Amanda did not mind answering questions or receiving input from me or my friend. During the trial run 2.5 months prior to, the day before and the day of the wedding, Amanda was a constant encourager and provided honest input. Wedding day, she was with me getting ready, first look pics, wedding party pre-ceremony pics, after ceremony pics, pre-reception entry, dress change out, hair shift to updo…she was there making sure hair and make up were on point…having her present at all those key points made a huge difference!! Because of her ability to make me feel comfortable in things that were not normal for me, on my wedding day, I felt like a true princess!! Had I not listened to Amanda’s feedback and trusted her expertise, I know I would have been disappointed in myself for not heeding someone with her abilities. I am so happy with what she delivered, so yes, I highly recommend Hopcraft Collective!

Amanda was an active help from start through the end of our ceremony. She was available from the beginning and gave advice on several vendors to reach out to - many options. She was always a text or email away. On the day of our wedding she was prompt and took care of 3 people on my wedding day - including my bridal hair and makeup which was flawless. Everyone was happy with their results and by the audible gasps I received when people saw me- I think she nailed the look to perfection! Pricing is fair and the options of doing makeup /haircut your venue spot or her studio is a bonus! Thank you Amanda

I hired Hopcraft Collective for my Daughter’s November 2025 wedding. I found them to be an easy to work with company. All communication was clear and in a timely manner. No pressure, suggestions given, however it was only suggestions. The stylist Amanda was professional and amazing to work with. My daughter, the bride, told me how much she enjoyed that Amanda really listened to her and what she wanted. My granddaughter, at a later time, told me the same thing. The Groom even made the comment, “If you need a makeup artist for any other upcoming events, you should definitely call this lady back. This is the best of any artist I have seen you use before.” THAT WAS COMING FROM A MAN! 😂 Thank you so much, to Amanda and the entire group, for making this a fun, relaxing and enjoyable start to what can be a very anxious and stressful time.
If you’re looking, look no more! This is the one!! ♥️
