great experience. High quality.

It was an amazing experience with Virginia and super highly recommended!
Having her do makeup at my wedding was one of the first (and best!) decisions I made while wedding planning. Makeup was one thing I knew I didn’t want to worry about on the day of the wedding, and it came out wonderfully. Virginia is a true professional, and has a passion for her work. If you’re thinking about hiring her, go for it – but book early because she is in demand!

Excellent!

Not only did Virginia and her team provide excellent hair & makeup on my wedding day for myself and my family - they were above and beyond sweet, attentive, and friendly. Particularly appreciated their skill to handle all types of needs. One of my favorite moments was when one of my flower girls who was particularly shy, warmed up to the team and allowed her hair to get done.

100% recommend!

Virginia is an incredible make up artist!

Virginia is an incredible make up artist! She was able to accommodate me and my family on very short notice. She set up the timeline for getting ready and was able to finish everyone’s makeup ahead of schedule. She was very professional and sanitized brushes/makeup between each client. I highly recommend her!

Simply excellent

Virginia and her whole team are so amazing and made me and all my girls feel our absolute best on my wedding day!!! They asked everyone how they wanted to look and did an awesome job. They totally stayed ahead of schedule with all of us and we’re able to do final touches before the ceremony. They are also a total joy to have in the getting ready room and fit right in with all of us. My hair and make up looked beautiful through the whole wedding day and night from start to finish! Thank you so much!!

Virginia was amazing! She has been great with her communication from the moment I booked her and was very transparent. Virginia was flexible and amazing to work with. Even when I changed my eye makeup the day of the wedding, she went with the flow and made me look STUNNING. My bridesmaids, MOHs, mother of the groom, mother of the bride, and myself all got a ton of compliments throughout the wedding of how great our hair and makeup looked. It was so beautiful seeing everyone have high self esteem and feel confident about themselves. Everyone showed Virginia and the crew their picture of what they wanted and she DELIVERED. Thank you so much Virginia for everything you did on my wedding day. I appreciate you so much. 10/10 recommend for future brides!.
