Weddings By Celissa Rae

I am so glad I chose Weddings by Celissa for my wedding hair and make-up, for myself and my entire bridal party.

From the get-go, I knew I wanted more unusual hair styling - more akin to an elven princess than a classic bride. Celissa immediately understood the look I was going for, and styled my hair in such a unique and beautiful way. It was far better than what I could have imagined.

I also do not wear much makeup, so was unable to give much direction on what I wanted. It didn't matter, as Celissa guided me through make-up colors, products, etc and even gave me tips I can use at home. She chose colors and tones that complimented my complexion and hair wonderfully - as a ginger this can be tricky. I got many compliments on my hair and make-up on my wedding day.

Aside from being an extremely talented HAMU artist, her and her team are also amazingly friendly, up-beat, and warm ladies. We chatted and sang all the way through my HAMU trials and my wedding morning.

I wouldn't have changed a thing and would recommend Weddings by Celissa to anyone!

Celissa did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and wedding so I have lots of experience to draw from while writing this review - and I have nothing but love for this amazing woman! I have had my hair and makeup done professionally on several occasions, by multiple different artists, and Celissa is by far the best. She is not only insanely talented and professional but she is kind, calming and actually listens to you, asks your opinion throughout the whole process and fine tunes everything to your exact preferences and makes it all look so easy! She and her team did hair and makeup for 8 of us on my wedding day - and everyone looked absolutely stunning. She had the hair and makeup schedule planned out to the minute and even added a bridesmaid of mine to the schedule mere days before the wedding without hesitation or complaint. She had everything finished ahead of schedule, kept a drink in my hand, music playing and was just a calm and supportive presence the entire day. She even stayed with me as I waited to walk down the aisle and calmed my nerves, touched up my hair and makeup throughout photos and changed my hair and makeup after my ceremony so I had a completely different look for the reception - and the entire new look took her maybe 15 minutes! She even cut my hair on my wedding day (at my request) to blend my hair extensions and give me some face framing curls. Talk about above and beyond! She specializes in wedding beauty which is hugely important - she will make you look amazing both in person and in photos and has a clear mastery looks - from retro to natural to glam - she can literally do it all! Your hair and makeup artist will be spending so much time with you on your wedding day and is so pivotal to how you feel and look so be sure to choose the best and that is Celissa! Do not hesitate to hire her and her amazing team for your wedding day and all wedding related hair and makeup needs!

I highly recommend Celissa to anyone for beauty! She was such a fun and sweet person to work with. I was completely happy with everything she did and she never had a problem with changing things up if i wanted to try something new. Her team is very fun and really fast! Everyone was happy with their hair and makeup and everyone was beautiful!
