Best Make up/Hair Team Ever!

This was the best experience for not just myself but the whole team! I was exhausted from making all the wedding decor up to the last day before the wedding and Elizabeth made me look like a million dollars. Shout out to Caitlin and Alicia who also made my bridal team look stunning! Elizabeth from the beginning was very sweet and helpful and felt like family because she cares about your wants and needs for the wedding. They executed everything perfectly. They truly are the best at what they do and I would highly recommend this company!

Choose this vendor

Elizabeth has been in our events circle for some time. A friend of a friend of a friend type situation. I knew after being on my friend Sarah’s wedding that she was the one for me. I didn’t even do a wedding make up trial because I knew she could handle whatever it was I needed for my special day. Not only did everyone look GORGEOUS but she was flexible, understanding of hiccups, and wears many hats the day of. For my friends wedding her company did both my hair and makeup which was AMAZING. On my own wedding day Elizabeth did my makeup and I felt beautiful, like myself and completely calm. This was one vendor I absolutely knew had my back. Not only on my wedding day did she do my makeup but she wore many hats as she helped my mom zip up her dress that got stuck and helped move things around for the photographers it was awesome and something I will always remember! Thank you Elizabeth a million times over thank you

Amazing wedding makeup and hair

Elizabeth is amazing! Can’t speak highly enough about her and her work. We got married on the hottest day of the summer and my make up did not melt off and it looked unreal. She was very flexible with last minute schedule changes. I’ve been in so many weddings and she is the best person I have ever worked with and very reasonably priced. Will recommend her always and use her for any future needs.
