Words cannot describe the talents and professionalism of Brett Dorrian and her artists. Brett has the ability to make any bride or bridesmaid feel comfortable and beautiful the instant you meet her. From our first meeting to the wedding day, Brett was attentive and patient and made sure to address any questions and concerns. Her make-up and hair abilities are beyond compare. All of us looked glamorous yet still like ourselves, which is sometimes difficult to achieve with a lot of make-up! She is absolutely worth every penny, you will feel beautiful and glamorous on your day and your make-up lasts all night! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I couldn't imagine my day without Brett!

I cannot say enough about Brett. I don't know how I would have gotten through my day without her. Not only is she an incredibly talented hair and beauty expert she is sooooo much more! I made the wise decision to hire Brett for touch-up hours for our wedding. Brett helped our photographer who wasn't familiar with the Minneapolis area (Brett is also a talented photographer), took care of our crazy ring bearers, flower girls, and jr. ushers (she's a kid whisperer and somehow had them all calm and ready to go down the aisle before I stepped out), handed me champagne whenever I needed it, cleaned my dress when it got dirty, and at one point she event cleaned the bottom of my feet for me. She read my mind for everything I needed and ALL DAY my bridal party told me how amazing Brett was. Brett is basically a wedding fairy godmother. She's talented, helpful, knowledgeable, and also super fun to be around! One of the best recommendations I could ever make for anyone getting married.

Hiring Brett and her team was hands down some of the best money I spent on my wedding day. She made me feel like the best version of myself and her team did a fantastic job on my bridesmaids and the moms. Everyone was professional, timely and friendly. When we had an outside issue during our getting ready portion of the morning, Brett handled it with grace and helped to calm me down. She answered all of my questions quickly and was so friendly throughout the whole process.

There is no one better in the business than Brett and her team! I was over-the-moon excited that I was able to book her for my hair and makeup and working with her was all-around one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. What an experience!

Not only is Brett an incredibly talented makeup artist and hair stylist, she is beyond professional, organized, and runs her business like a BOSS. She responded to all my messages quickly and it was very easy to coordinate both my trial run and wedding day schedule. She has her finger on the pulse of the wedding industry and is completely in-tune with changing trends and with what her clients want. She is also so caring, kind, is an incredible listener and has a wonderful sense of humor. Her studio space is like no other. I loved spending the morning of my wedding in her charming and beautiful space, drinking coffee and relaxing with my wedding party.

Brett and Sarah Christine did hair and makeup for me, my matron of honor, my mother, my mother-in-law and our two flower girls and everyone LOVED how they looked! The moms were a little nervous and didn’t want to look too “done up” but both said they never felt more beautiful and loved the whole experience. I was feeling very nervous the morning of my wedding and Brett and I had a wonderful talk while she did my hair and makeup. Her calming, soothing presence helped me relax, enjoy myself and I felt my anxiety slip away as she made me look like the most beautiful version of myself. I looked gorgeous and received many compliments from family and friends on how wonderful I looked.

Brett is the BEST for a reason! I am so thankful she was with me on my wedding day and made me look and feel like the best version of myself.

Brett is a truly phenomenal stylist and artist! I could not have made a better selection in who to trust for my wedding day styling. I selected her based on her website portfolio in which she uniquely tailors the makeup and hairstyle to each individual and keeps it simple, making each person a polished version of themselves rather than overdoing the hair or makeup simply because it is for wedding photos. When my husband saw me after the trial (for a set of engagement photos) and again on the wedding day, he commented both times that he was so impressed that he really couldn't tell I had that much more makeup on than usual (I am usually very minimalist), so that speaks to how natural she keeps the makeup. Brett has a beautiful eye and is creative - I showed her some hairstyles I liked and described some things I did and did not want, and she created the perfect style for me. She is incredibly receptive to adjustments (mild changes to lip color, or preferences of certain looks or styles). She uses top quality makeup and lashes. I have tons of hair and my head was super comfortable despite all the required pins! My bridal party (very wide range of casual and relaxed to more perfectionist girlfriends and mothers) all felt like royalty with Brett's team (an incredible group of lovely stylists!) and many felt it was the best hair and makeup they had had at a wedding. Brett took notes during the trial that she brought with her on my wedding day, so she was completely prepared and I could relax and spend time with my bridal party and not worry about last minute adjustments because she already had it all completely under control. Brett made a huge impact on getting my wedding day off to the right start and helping me feel truly beautiful and relaxed and she and her team are an excellent choice for any style of bride!

Brett is not only extremely talented and professional but she is also a joy to be around! She did my hair/make up for engagement photos and hair for me, my 8 bridesmaids + Mom on our wedding day. Everyone loved how their hair turned out. Brett was one of the vendors that I did not worry about for a second. She is so organized and helped to make our big day run smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone! She also did a tattoo cover up for me that I was really nervous about and it came out looking amazing. Thank you, Brett!

Brett and her team were absolutely amazing! She did hair and makeup for my engagement session as well as for the wedding day. Scheduling was straightforward and easy for both, and there was no concerns throughout my entire experience. I actually have no idea how to do hair and makeup and I had a difficult time trying to articulate to Brett what I was thinking for the wedding. I had a general idea in my head, but Brett was able to take my few rambling ideas and turn them into what I didn't even know I wanted (which was perfect) for my wedding day. We also rented the studio for the morning and a few of my bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done as well. The space was perfect for just hanging out and getting a few pictures before the ceremony. I can't recommend Brett enough- we had an amazing time :)

Brett was awesome! She and her team did hair and makeup for myself, my entire bridal party, MOB, and MOG. She was fantastic to work with. Five stars all the way around. What I appreciated most was her intuition, it was like she knew what I wanted even when I could not put it into words. Touch up hours were a lifesaver in the 90+ degree heat. My mother told me later how much more at ease she felt just knowing Brett was there. Thanks for making the day run SO smoothly Brett.

Brett and her team did hair and makeup for me, 9 bridesmaids, grandma of the groom, and mom of the groom. She was worth every penny! Any time I needed to make a change to our schedule, she had no problem doing it.. Even the week of the wedding! Everything went smoothly and according to schedule. Brett was there for “touch up” hours and helped to make sure not only my makeup and hair was perfect, but that my dress was perfect, and every other bridesmaids’ hair and makeup were great for pictures. It was so nice knowing I did not have to worry about things going right in the hair and makeup department on the big day. It was the best decision booking with Brett! :)

Hiring Brett and her team for my bridal party hair and makeup was a great decision. Brett did an excellent job of making me feel like the “best version” of myself on my wedding day! Everyone looked stunning and the hair and makeup still looked fresh, even after late night dancing. Brett is friendly, professional and easy to work with; scheduling an initial meeting and the trial run was also a breeze using the online scheduling tool. After my initial meeting with Brett, I knew that my bridal party and I would be in good hands for our hair and makeup for my April wedding.

I really can't say enough about Brett. Her portfolio doesn't begin to do her work justice. She was able to capture *exactly* the look I wanted for my wedding, and even improved upon what I had imagined. And not only is her work outstanding, the environment she created for me and my bridesmaids was relaxing and delightful. Would give her 10 stars if I could!

Simply put, Brett is incredible. She was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding, and I could not be more happy with that decision. Brett is beyond talented, but she has this uncanny quality to make you feel at ease and brings out your true beauty. She and her team did my wedding party's hair and makeup flawlessly. They all know how to listen to what you want and give good suggestions. My wedding was on Dec. 30, and the weather was nearly 20 degrees below zero! Brett spent the entire day with us and braved the cold for outdoor pictures. She was amazing - never complained and made she I looked perfect in every picture. You will not be disappointed with Brett and her team.

Brett was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process! From meeting with her the first time, my bridal trial run, to the actual wedding day, I do not have a single negative thing to say! She makes it her mission to have you feel comfortable and look your absolute best for your special day. On the day of my wedding, Brett and her whole team were absolutely fantastic. We were able to be relaxed all morning in her gorgeous studio. As every bridesmaid and mom was styled, we were wowed by how everyone looked absolutely flawless. Our pictures have been turning out amazing, and a huge part of that was due to makeup and hair by Brett and her team! Thank you for making my wedding day have such a fun and relaxed start and making each one of us feel and look beautiful!!!

Brett is amazing! She is creative, extremely professional and such a pleasure to work with! Me, my sisters and mom loved her work! She understood quickly and was able to accommodate all the details from the Korean wedding hair style and make up we were looking for. We could have not asked for a better service!

Brett and her team were outstanding. We did a two day wedding with her, and not only is she a lovely person -- totally witty and a fabulous conversationalist (I mean, hello. Two days. That's a lot of chitchat time!), her work really speaks for itself. She was super receptive to feedback, and it was wonderful how flexible she was, especially when things didn't go entirely as planned on day 2! Hair and make-up is a significant expense for weddings, and while Brett may be on the pricier end of a number of the artists I looked at, I think her work, and the time we spent with her and her team, was worth every penny, from her professionalism and work ethic to her amazing work!

Brett was a pleasure to work with for our April 2017 wedding. I was planning our St. Paul wedding from out of state, so finding a reliable hair and makeup artist was super important to me. She was without question the most professional hair and makeup artist I contacted, and she made booking a breeze. Brett is really talented and her work speaks for itself (and lasts all day!) My mom, sister and I had a fun, stress-free morning leading up to our wedding thanks to Brett. I cannot recommend her enough.

Brett was one of my favorite wedding vendors! Everyone looked and felt incredible! I opted to add her touch up hours to have her with us until after the ceremony, and my photographer said it was the best decision of my wedding. She kept us looking flawless on a VERY windy day! I highly recommend Brett if you have room for a splurge in your budget and the touch up hours are completely worth it! Bonus: she's really fun to be around and brings a good energy to your day.

"Artistry" is spot-on. Brett delivers more than make-up, hair or photos: she can take your vision or idea and make it a reality while maintaining your personal authenticity. It takes more than a trained eye and practice to deliver on a vision: it takes an understanding of "who" the people are, the context of the "theme" the client is considering, the real (and perhaps not obvious) focus and goal of the images and the ability to work with a lot of moving parts. Brett is very sophisticated and skilled in all aspects of her work and took the time to LISTEN and UNDERSTAND what we were looking for and did some research on her own to make sure we found just the right location to serve as the backdrop for our styled photographs. Truly a great experience, and all of the other vendors we worked with as part of our wedding that did not already know Brett personally asked for her information so that they could be sure to connect and work together again.

Brett was INCREDIBLE at making me look and feel gorgeous for both our engagement shoot and wedding day with professionalism, positivity, and class. Having a talented makeup artist was a high priority for me when planning the wedding, and our selection of Brett Dorrian Artistry couldn’t be beat. Her work is personalized, glamorous, and lasts throughout the entire day. She captured my spirit as an individual, and I loved how comfortable she made all of us feel just hours before the wedding. I was dealing with some issues with the hotel block before her arrival to the get-ready room, so my heart was racing and I was feeling pretty stressed out. Then, Brett worked her magic and made everyone feel at ease and reestablished the feelings of calm and happiness that we needed in that moment. My grandmother and mother had never had their makeup professionally done before, and the results were spectacular. My grandmother kept telling people how special that Brett made her feel, which absolutely warmed my heart. People cannot stop talking about how much I looked like the beautiful bridal figurine on top of a wedding cake…Trust me, you will be so glad that you booked this vendor for your big day!

Brett is THE best in the business. Not only is she amazing at her job but she's so fun to hangout with!!

I don't wear a ton of makeup on a day-to-day basis so I didn't want to look like I was wearing a lot of makeup for my engagement/wedding pictures (Brett did makeup for both!). Her work was just amazing. My engagement pictures turned out great. And I know our wedding pictures will be just as wonderful.

I felt beautiful on my wedding day--elegant but still myself.

Brett and her team also did an amazing job with my bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone loved them and loved how they looked!

Brett is an amazing and talented artist and an amazing person! I can't say enough about her. I highly recommend Brett and her team if you want to look classy, beautiful, and elegant on your special day!

Brett Dorrian and her team did a fantastic job with my makeup (bride) and my bridesmaids. Not only did everyone look and feel beautiful, but her team was extremely accommodating when it came to us using their studio for getting ready the morning of the wedding. Many of bridesmaids commented how comfortable, pretty and "girly" their space was for us to get ready in- which added more excitement to the day, but Brett was also just super helpful. She has accommodated many, many brides so her opinion, perspective and overall help was instrumental in setting the tone for the rest of the day. I would definitely recommend Brett's team, especially if you're looking for more than just a great makeup artist!!

It was definitely an experience I will never forget, and I couldn't be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out! Getting ready with my girls in their new studio space was the best way to start my big day! So so talented!
