10.18.2025 Wedding

My wife and I worked with Patty McGuire and her team for our October wedding and had a great experience! In total, there were two brides, two mothers of the bride, and five bridesmaids so we worked with a team of three artists: Cindy, Brittany, and Ashley. Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing (and lasted through all the dancing and tears!) and we felt that they really delivered on our vision. We really appreciated their flexibility and support as we were planning our wedding from states away. If we needed to get glammed up in Chicago again, we would definitely give Patty a call!

Must have team for your beauty needs!

Patty McGuire and her team are top notch when it comes to knowledge and expertise in their fields, professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. Carolyn was my makeup artist, and Brittany was my hair stylist and their ability to take direction and nail every request showed their level of skill right away. When they speak about their team it truly feels like a family and the support offered and communication throughout every process made everything so easy! Highly recommend!:)

Everyone's hair and makeup turned out beautifully. The process from requesting a quote to scheduling a trial and the day of was very smooth. The stylists were so nice and great at their jobs. I had a great experience with them as a bride in 2025 and previously as a bridesmaid in 2023.

Patty McGuire Hair & Makeup

I just got married in November and used Patty McGuires crew for hair and makeup. They were fantastic! My bridal hair and makeup trial was incredible. I had so much fun with Carolyn who did my makeup and Brittany who did my hair. They instantly made me feel comfortable and my hair and makeup were exactly like my inspiration photos.

On my wedding day, Carolyn and Brittany were the best! They had music jamming and made our morning so much fun! Cindy and Julia were also absolutely fantastic as well! All of my bridal party and my mom and mother in law absolutely loved how their hair and makeup turned out!

I would HIGHLY recommend using Patty McGuire for your professional hair and makeup needs!

10 out of 10!

Where do I start?! We were planning our wedding in Saugatuck, MI and looking for a hair and makeup vendor. I was having a hard time finding one in the area and my friend recommended that I talk to Patty as she has such a positive experience using their services for her wedding in the suburbs of Chicago. After one phone call, I knew it was the perfect fit!

Patty came to do my hair and makeup for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I was in love with how my hair and makeup turned out for both events. I normally don't wear a ton of makeup in my normal day to day. Patty does an excellent job doing a natural glam look. She is extremely skilled and detailed in what she does. She is truly an artist. I still looked and felt like myself even with professional hair and makeup which is exactly what I wanted.

Patty brought a team of kind, professional and talented hair and makeup artists along with her for the wedding day. All of my bridesmaids were super happy and confident with their looks as well. On your wedding day, you spending a lot of time getting ready, so having a team that is easy and fun to talk to while getting your hair and makeup done is always a huge perk.

I couldn't recommend Patty McGuire Hair and Makeup enough!!

The most magical, special experience!

I can't recommend Patty and her team enough! Patty is so warm and kind, she really listened to what I was looking for, and made me feel so comfortable in my bridal trial, I was so excited to hire her for my wedding. Patty, Carolyn and Megan made getting ready for my wedding so stress free and fun. Patty did my hair and makeup and I felt like the best version of myself! Patty did my mom's hair and makeup too, and was so patient with my mom who is very picky about her hair. Carolyn and Megan were great with my bridal party and MIL, who all looked beautiful. And they did my groom's hair, which he loved, and it was perfect! It was such a wonderful experience to have such a talented and kind team whose entire goal was to make the day special for us - this warmth and kindness really kicked off the day with a special feeling that I will never forget.
