My husband and I got married at Soundview Caterers on Saturday 4/20/24 and Erika Jansen did the makeup for our bridal party. Erika was AMAZING!! In all of our planning leading up to the event, Erika put me at ease. There were many changes that occurred throughout the past few months, and Erika worked with me through them all. She & her team took care of me, my bridesmaids and my mother, as well as my mother-in-law & gave us EXACTLY what we needed to feel extra beautiful for the special day. I also love how good she was with the children- offering them a “fairy-dusting” which they were very excited about :-)

It was nice being able to have all the space that is available in the Salon area at Viana Hotel and Spa - we had room for a lovely breakfast spread (complete with mimosas :-)) while comfortably getting our hair and makeup done, and enough of a seating area to comfortably wait/ rotate chairs for makeup and hair. Erika did her best to ensure that we stayed focused on task and try to keep with our schedule!

I must mention how Erika did go ABOVE and BEYOND anything that I could have asked or expected- I’m so happy that we added the option of touch-ups, where she would meet us at the wedding venue to make sure we all looked good before the ceremony- while we were out taking off-site photos before the ceremony, we realized that we had not taken the ceremony items with us! I got in touch with Erika & she arranged to grab all of the items from my friend back at the hotel & she arrived at the venue before we did- all set up to immediately touch up our makeup - & with all the ceremony items on hand.

We will be eternally grateful. Erika is a visionary, attentive to detail, passionate, well-prepared, and fiercely protective of your vision for your special day! I highly recommend the services provided by her & her team of hair and makeup artists at the Viana Hotel & Spa.

Erika made it fun, easy and made everyone look stunning!!! It was an amazing experience with Erika!!!

Where do I begin? From the very start, Erika was amazing. Very easy to work with, always available whenever I needed her, very flexible and understanding even when I changed my mind last minute about the make up. My self and the bridal party looked absolutely stunning thanks to her and Eva (the hair stylist). I love Erika. She was very energetic and funny even though we had to start at 5am. We stayed at Viana Hotel & Spa and it was very convenient to get ready there. Everything was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much. ❤
