Liz is WELL WORTH THE MONEY. The best price quote I received and her work was FLAWLESS.

Day of the wedding she arrived ahead of time and was completely set up and ready to go before needed.

She and her assistant were professional, polite and sweet.

The hair and makeup from my trail were recreated & looked amazing. I've never felt more beautiful.

The bridesmaids, flowergirls, mother of the groom, grandmothers of the bride all looked GREAT.

I was very worried about the makeup as my ceremony was outside and it was 90+. Through the ceremony, reception and afterparty - our makeup looked flawless. Everyone's hair held up as well !

THANK YOU LIZ !

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!
