Book KW Glam for your special day!

KW Glam is the first vendor I booked for my wedding. I wanted to feel my best and most confident on my wedding day, so it was really important to me to book the right team. KW Glam was recommended to me and it was truly the best decision! Immediately upon meeting Katie she made me feel so calm and at ease. She even helped me get matched for extensions so I could achieve the look I wanted on the big day. During my trial, I loved how Katie listened to me and asked all the right questions to get to the root of what I wanted and didn't want. When I asked her to make a few small tweaks for the wedding, she adjusted everything to exactly what I was looking for. On the day I felt so calm and relaxed with Katie glamming me up, and I truly have never felt more beautiful and confident than on my wedding day, thanks to her! I loved her calming and positive energy that she brought throughout the whole process. I also really appreciated how organized she was. The team (Lily and Chloi) she brought with her was fantastic and my bridesmaids were so happy and looked stunning. Because the day was going to be extremely hot and humid, and we were going to be outside for a few hours doing a first look and all the photos before the ceremony, I had Katie come to the venue to touch me up before my ceremony, which I was SO happy for. While everything still looked fabulous, it helped me to have her there and just touch me up so I felt fresh and fabulous before walking down the aisle - highly recommend doing this! The day was SO hot, and me, the MOB and MOG, and my bridesmaids couldn't believe how our makeup looked as perfect as it did when we got ready that morning even after all the dancing! I also am so grateful I had Katie and her team and can't thank them enough. HIGHLY recommend this amazing team for your big day!

Sparkle Katie for the Win

I truly cannot say anything negative about the KW Glam team. I knew I wanted Katie and her team to do hair and makeup for my wedding and bridal party before I even got engaged!

I ended up going with the “Ultimate I Do” package which included a wedding hair and makeup trial, an additional hair and makeup session which I used for my engagement photos as well as many other additions and goodies to make your day nothing but perfect.

Fast forward to my wedding day September 21, 2024 Katie and her team did not disappoint.

My bridesmaids and mothers got their hair done by Jillian and everyone left feeling truly beautiful and feeling themselves. Jillian is so down to earth and fun to work with she fit right in with my wedding party and made everyone feel comfortable and everyone had such a great time together!

Katie was my own personal hair and makeup artist which let me tell you, is such a win for Brides! She listened to my likes and dislikes throughout the whole process which made me feel a huge sense of relief and led me to fully trusting her and her work. Even after making changes and shifting my vision from my trial, Katie listened and reviewed the notes I had made of the changes I wanted and she worked her ✨magic✨.

Katie’s work is FLAWLESS and she strives for perfection and succeeds! I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life because of her. So beautiful infact that I made my now husband cry during our first look 😉

If you are looking for your own personal hair and makeup artist and the best team around for your wedding, I beg you, book KW Glam, you won’t be disappointed. 🤍

XOXO Meaghan Dostie

Great experience!

We worked with Jillian at Katie Walsh Glam for bridal and MOB hair and had such a great experience! Jillian is so kind and made us feel instantly comfortable at our trial. She really listened to what we had in mind and captured what we each hoped for perfectly! On the wedding morning she brought such great energy to the day, and even took a few minutes to touch up my 97-year-old grandma's hair too. We're so glad to have worked with Jillian and KW!

Such a great team

Katie and her team are so amazing. My makeup lasted all day and it was a hot humid day! Katie and Chloi really listen to your needs and make sure you feel beautiful and ready for the day. There was a change of plans last minute with who needed what done and they were so easy going about it and sweet! I’m really grateful for them!

Looked & Felt Amazing

I would highly recommend KW Glam for your big day! I went with the Glamorous Bride package which included a trial run, day of hair/makeup and false eyelashes. The trial run was a must! During my trial run, we were able to work out some kinks with my makeup look (I'm really picky about my eyebrows) and make sure we were on the same page for my big day. Katie was so kind and responsive to my feedback. She made sure I felt and looked beautiful. On the day of the wedding, her and her team arrived early and were ready to go right on time. My hair and makeup looked perfect and lasted all night. I was worried initially about looking shiny because I have very oily skin and was so happy to find that my makeup stayed on all night and continued to look perfect despite the fact that I cried during the ceremony and sweat on the dance floor. I'd highly recommend KW Glam to anyone looking for their perfect wedding hair/makeup!

Amazing work!

Katie and her crew were wonderful to work with! Sasha and Jo did hair and makeup for myself and 8 bridesmaids and they were fun, professional and created beautiful work that lasted all night long. We kept getting compliments on how good our hair and makeup looked! My bridesmaids and I had a great time chatting with Sasha and Jo while getting ready the morning of the wedding. They were both super helpful during my trial and took my inspiration photos and blew me away with their work. Thank you Katie, Sasha and Jo, you helped make my wedding perfect!

Katie works magic & brings your wedding look to life!

Katie and Amber did an AMAZING job on my girls' hair and makeup for my wedding at the Thompson Inn on 9/10/22! My girls were so happy with how they looked! I can not thank Katie enough for her patience and making sure my hair and makeup was absolutely perfect!!! She wanted me to love my look and I absolutely did! I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day! Not only did everyone look and feel beautiful, but we finished early and on-time. To top it off, Katie feels like someone you've always known even though you've just met. If you are looking for a team you can trust to make your bridal look come true, then Katie Walsh Glam is your team!

Hire Katie and Her Glam Squad!

I can’t say enough good things about Katie and her team! They made myself and my girls feel like a million bucks on my wedding day. I felt so glamorous, but still like myself, which is exactly what I wanted! My makeup withstood many ceremony tears, and looked flawless for more than 10 hours. She was a blast to be around, but also super professional and organized. If you're thinking of hiring Katie for your wedding day hair and makeup, do it! I promise you won't regret it!

Look no further

I hired Katie after seeing her work on Instagram. She was friendly, professional and listened from the start. I had previously hired a different hair and makeup company and wasn’t happy with the results. I was able to show Katie what I wanted and she nailed it on the first shot. Leading up to the wedding she kept me informed and arrived early day of. She was a saint with dealing with some members of my party and our hair and makeup was perfection. It lasted well past the wedding and after party! I will forever recommend her to anyone who asks!

1,0000000/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simply cannot recommend Katie enough! I was a bit nervous about selecting hair and make-up as I am not someone who ever gets my hair done or wears make-up.

I wanted to look natural, while still looking glamorous. Katie accomplished just that, and then some.

Not only was Katie incredibly accommodating through our COVID postponement, but she also answered ALL of my questions quickly and thoroughly.

From where I should buy a hair comb to the best time to get a spray tan, I was blown away by how fast Katie came through with advice and recommendations.

From the pre-wedding trial to the day of, Katie was incredibly fun to work with and check-in every step of the way. She made sure I comfortable, felt good, and was having fun!

Katie did both hair and make-up for me and three bridesmaids. It was incredible to see her whip up beautiful hairstyles and on-point makeup on all the girls.

I have truly never felt as beautiful as I did with Katie’s glam. I’m so incredibly thankful for her expertise and so happy we were able to work together.

To say I'm thankful is an understatement. She truly made me feel like a princess and that was all I could have ever asked for!

Seriously, don’t think twice about who you’ll go with for HMU. It’s Katie Walsh Glam. You’re going with Katie Walsh Glam!!!
