Celeste is the best!

Celeste is talented and did an amazing job with my makeup! She kept the style natural so I would still feel like myself but also made me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt! Not only was the make-up fabulous and well-done, it lasted all night. Celeste was also very kind and sweet through the my trial and the day of the wedding. She helped keep the energy positive and calm through the morning. I also hired her to do makeup and hair for my mother, mother-in-law, two sister-in-laws and mt 4-yr old niece. She did a wonderful job with them as well. Everyone looked so beautiful and glowing. I can't thank her enough, and I highly recommend booking Celeste for your special day!

Calm, supportive, and beautiful work

Celeste did my hair and makeup on my wedding day, along with Libby, the makeup artist she brought to do my bridesmaids’s makeup. They were both so professional and kind. They used the time expertly to make sure that everyone was ready at the different points required, and were just a lovely presence for a calm morning before the big day. When I got overwhelmed, Celeste deftly redirected the others in the room to help me regain composure. She also made time to do touch ups on the groom before our portrait. She was absolutely wonderful, from the trial a year prior to the actual day! I would highly recommend.

An Absolute Dream

Celeste was honestly incredible. Her calming presence and good energy made such a positive impact on my day. Celeste did my hair & makeup for our elopement ceremony. She was so kind, patient, and professional through the process. She communicated with me through planning and was so accommodating. The end result of her work speaks for itself!! She's so talented. Would highly recommend!

Celeste was fantastic!

Celeste was a true dream to work with for my wedding day from beginning to end! She was extremely responsive, professional, and just the nicest person all around. During my trial she took into account the time of my afternoon wedding, the elements the makeup would be exposed to with a March wedding, and afterwards made minor adjustments based on how it held up with my skin. The day of, Celeste and Dori were prompt and ran on schedule with our group (5 hair, 4 makeup), they didn't even blink with my two large dogs roaming around, and everyone there commented at how kind they both were and a pleasure to have around that morning! All of our hair and makeup held up all day despite the pouring rain that had started an hour before the ceremony. Celeste is a true experienced artist and professional, and I am so thankful for her and Dori!

Amazing, kind, calm

Celeste was so fantastic. She has such calming energy and went above and beyond. My mom and bridesmaids loved their looks and never felt better. Celeste did such a great job helping me figure out what I wanted and she made me feel beautiful but like myself on my wedding. She even helped with pinning my dress and helping me get my dress over my head without messing up my hair and makeup. She is so kind and calm. I can’t recommend her enough.

Magical Makeup & Hair

TLDR: Magical hair and makeup that, somehow, stays all day and night…through rain, tears and sweat! Celeste and her assistant were punctual, calm and just so dang good.

The Deets:
I could not have been more thrilled with my hair and makeup! Celeste was communicative and on top of things leading up to my wedding day. She was so understanding as my mother and mother in law were deciding their services (even up to the week of!). Celeste and her assistant did the hair and makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids. They then did the hair for my mother and two flower girls (the older of whom got a little “makeup” to help her feel a little bit more special!).

My morning-of wasn't quite what I had hoped - we were stuck in my room due to the rain, so things got more cramped than I anticipated, and I was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Celeste was cool, calm and collected as the team worked through our hair and makeup schedule. Everything felt so in-hand and she listened to each party member as they explained what hair or makeup style they wanted.

One of my bridesmaids really doesn't wear a lot of makeup so she felt a bit overwhelmed initially. Celeste was able to help us create a look that she felt really comfortable with and that was light while still being impactful. Everyone looked so, so gorgeous.

Now, I CANNOT believe how well my hair and makeup kept up throughout the day!! I sobbed, took photos in the rain, sobbed again, danced, ate, sweated…yes, I was a mess, haha! Yet everything held up and wore beautifully from beginning to end, I didn't need to worry about a THING.

I cannot recommend Celeste enough. You won't regret hiring someone who listens so intently, brings such calm and beautiful energy and executes so flawlessly.

Fantastic Wedding Hair & Makeup

Celeste was amazing! She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding day. I’ve never had my makeup professionally done, and was just all around nervous about not looking like myself on my wedding day. We did a trial in her home where she really took the time to listen to me and what I was looking for. She was so relaxed and friendly and the trial really put my mind at ease for the day of. My two bridesmaids had their hair/makeup done and my mom and my best friend got their makeup done.

Celeste and her assistant worked some serious magic! My entire bridal party was gushing about what a great job they did. I really felt that Celeste took time and effort to review the trial we did and make small improvements - I loved my makeup and hair even more on the day of my wedding! Everyone else really loved their look and loved the energy they both brought to our getting-ready. I would 100% recommend Celeste for your wedding hair and makeup needs!

Thank you for making us look and feel beautiful on our wedding day!!

Working with Celeste and Vanessa for our wedding day was such an amazing experience. From the day we did our hair + makeup trials with them, we knew we could trust them to make us feel gorgeous on our wedding days. Celeste did my and my bridal party's hair + makeup, and Vanessa did my wife and her bridal party's hair + makeup. They were both kind, accommodating, and made us look and feel like ourselves, but glammed up. We couldn't be happier with our looks for the day! Thank you both!!

Fabulous MUA

Celeste and her team of hair/make-up artists were fabulous. Celeste did my hair and makeup for my wedding in April 2023 and she did such a great job. She was extremely accommodating throughout the process as I added a bridesmaid and my mother in law for makeup fairly last minute and she worked with me to figure out a time for my hair/makeup trial that worked with my busy schedule. Celeste is lovely, easy to work with, extremely nice, and so good at what she does. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Amazing to work with

I loved the hair and make up Celeste did for my sister's wedding as soon as I got engaged I reached out to see if she was available and was so happy to find out she was! I did 2 trials with Celeste and she tried a few different styles to fall in love with one. Her and her team showed up promptly in the morning of my wedding and everyone was done right in schedule and we even finished 30min ahead of schedule. The air brushing made it feel like I wasn't even wearing anything and the make up lasted all day.

Celeste is amazing!

Celeste and Dori did an absolutely fantastic job! My wedding was on a very windy day and we all took pictures and had the ceremony outside and all of our hair stayed beautiful for the entirety of the day! They both really listened to what we all wanted and created beautiful hairstyles for all! I highly recommend booking with Celeste and her team!

So talented, so lovely, just overall wonderful!

We loved working with Celeste and her assistant. They were both so talented and really nice to chat with throughout the morning. Our wedding was delayed from the darker era of the pandemic to this past July 2021, and throughout that process Celeste was very flexible and easy to work with. All the ladies (me, the MOH, MOB, MOG, SIL, and Nana) looked really gorgeous and natural. No complaints, no regrets -- I recommend booking Celeste.

Amazing Experience

Can not recommend Celeste enough! From the first hair/makeup trial to my wedding day, she was kind, professional, talented...She did hair/mu for myself, maid of honor, and my mom. Everyone looked amazing and the hair and makeup lasted the whole night!! For someone who never does their own hair or makeup, I was honestly so blown away by how natural yet glamorous and beautiful I felt. Celeste came to the hotel the morning of the wedding and she took her time to make sure every detail was just so. Thank you again Celeste for making me feel so special and beautiful on my day!!

Wonderful experience with Celeste!

Celeste was wonderful to work with! She was so flexible and professional throughout the entire process. She is so calm and brings such a positive vibe to the getting ready portion of the day! Beyond that, she's got some serious skills! I do not regularly wear makeup, but she made me feel so natural and beautiful! My bridesmaids also commented on how natural they felt in their hair and makeup! So happy that I found her!

Hire Celeste now!

I hired Celeste as my wedding hair and make-up artist for my wedding. I had myself, three bridesmaids, and two mothers. Celeste is very professional and arrived on time. I had a trial with her for my wedding hair and make-up, as well as my mother's make-up. Celeste was a pleasure to be around. She has a very calming presence, which is great to have on the morning of your wedding. Book Celeste now! You won't regret it.

Amazing stylist and person!

Celeste was incredible and I am so glad I hired her for my wedding! If you are even considering hiring her, do not hesitate. She really listened to what I wanted, even making adjustments on the day of the wedding to make my hair and make-up vision a reality. I felt so beautiful. Her prices were also very reasonable, and she was flexible with helping hire assistant stylists at last minute to meet my early start time. Not to mention, she is genuinely such a kind, caring person with great values and an incredibly pleasant personality.

Loved working with Celeste

Covid-19 happened and wedding plans changed... We decided to elope in upstate NY and I booked Celeste to do my makeup for the day. She was super nice and sweet, and perfectly complemented the relaxing vibes of the day. She took into consideration my inspiration photos and I loved my final makeup and felt very beautiful. I would 100% recommend her!

I couldn't ask for anyone better!

My husband and I eloped in a private ceremony upstate last Tuesday and I had an especially hard time finding a hair and makeup artist. I can't express how lucky I am for finding Celeste. She is a lovely woman inside and out and so talented! She listened to me and what I wanted and she brought my vision to life. She made me look like an angel. :) My husband cried a river when he saw me.
Thank you again so much!

Celeste and her team are simply the best!

I cannot express in words how wonderful Celeste and her team are. After looking at her portfolio, I realized I wanted Celeste to do my hair and make up for my wedding without even a trial. During this crazy time during the pandemic, Celeste made me feel very calm and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe during both the trial and the morning of the wedding. After the trial, Celeste was able to tweak the small issues I had flawlessly the morning of so that I looked my absolute best. Celeste and her team made it very easy for everyone's hair and make up visions come to life while making us look flawless. My mother in law and sister in law have very sensitive skin and eyes, and their make up did not bother them at all throughout the day! Overall, I cannot say anything but good praises about Celeste and her team. They were able to take looks from photographs and personalize them to your face to make you look like the best version of you.

Book Celeste

While searching for a hair/makeup artists in the Hudson valley, I was in tears. So few provided both hair and makeup, a combination that I wanted. For me, natural makeup was also a big concern. I do not wear much makeup on a daily basis - I wanted to look as natural as possible for my wedding day. Many pictures I saw of work by various area makeup artists did not seem as natural as I hoped. I am the type that 95% of the time hate when I have professional makeup done.

Then I discovered Celeste. Her reviews raved about her and her natural makeup skills. I emailed her and she almost immediately responded with smiley faces. Via our email correspondence, she seemed very friendly and was always very responsive. I booked her before even having a trial. When we met in person for a hair/makeup trial, it felt like I was spending time with an old friend. She is so easy to talk to and an all around great person. Not to mention, she is extremely talented at what she does. She has such a calming presence, which I knew would be important on my wedding day.

On my wedding day, Celeste and Vanessa came to the hotel we were staying at and set up their own stations. Celeste did the makeup of my bridal party as well as my hair/makeup and Vanessa did my bridal party's hair. Everyone looked beyond beautiful. Each person commented how calming and talented both Celeste and Vanessa are. They turned everyone's picture of what they wanted into reality.

Celeste exceeded my expectations in my hair/makeup. I looked like myself, but a better version. It was natural, like I wanted but also elegant and bold also. I truly felt beautiful and like a bride. She truly executed all my hopes and wedding visions, better than I had imagined. My makeup and hair stayed exactly as they were at 11am until I went to sleep at 1am.

I can't thank Celeste enough for everything. If you are looking for hair/makeup for your wedding day, please do yourself a favor and contact Celeste.

Beautiful!

I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, thanks to Celeste. From the moment I met her I felt good vibes. She listened to me, was flexible, and professional. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. In addition, my mother has never looked so beautiful in her life. It was such a treat to see her with such confidence on my wedding day. Thanks all around, Celeste and Vanessa!

Celeste did such an amazing job on both my hair (bridal), and my bridal party for my wedding day! Celeste and I did a trial a month before the big day and it was so perfect, she had me very very excited for the big day and I wasn't disappointed! We had a big group and tight deadline on when we needed to have everyone done by, and she was even so accommodating by helping find a bring a third stylist for the morning to make sure we were able to complete everyone on time - after I didn't ask her to add the third stylist until the week of the wedding (Thanks again Celeste!!!). Her and her team of Vanessa and Dori were just so fantastic and listened to all the girls on how everyone wanted their hair and make-up done, and everyone was beyond happy with how it all went, and they finished up exactly on time. I also am not a huge make-up wearer and wanted to make sure I looked polished and like myself but still made-up on my wedding day and Celeste delivered, she did such a great job with my look making me feel like I looked very natural and didn't make me feel like I was wearing pounds of makeup.

Also, our wedding began at 3pm which meant we were all starting hair and make-up around 7:15am, and the hair and make-up stood the test of a hot-humid outdoor wedding until we finished partying around 2am!! I was so impressed at how we all still looked fresh and styled even after hours of dancing and being outdoors with the sun and wind.

I am so happy that we went with Celeste for our beauty as it was such an amazing experience, they did a fantastic job on everyone, and really listened to help understand what everyone's different styles and likes were to make sure that everyone felt like their best self and had that confidence to add onto the great hair and make-up that the team did for us.

Dori was my hair and make up artist and she did an amazing job! I showed her a video of the hair I wanted and she did it even better. My make up was beautiful. I got so many compliments and I could not be happier with my looks. And she has a great personality, very cheerful and welcoming and even got out of her way and arranged an early morning trial for me although I confused the days and could not make it to the date we were originally going to meet. My experience was great great!! Thank you Dori.

Seriously cannot recommend Celeste and her team enough. We had myself, 4 bridesmaids, and MOB and MOG all get make up and everyone really looked like the most beautiful versions of themselves. We ran on time/a little ahead of schedule. She was completely flexible in the moment. Everyone loved how they looked and they were a pleasure to have around while we were getting ready. I've been in several bridal parties and have to say Celeste and Dori did some of the best work I've seen/experienced.

Celeste was so wonderful on the day of my wedding. She went above and beyond. I was actually very sick during my wedding. I had a stomach virus and was in the ER the day before my ceremony. I was still sick and weak the day of my wedding and Celeste was beyond fantastic. She was able to do my makeup while I was lying in bed and she kept taking breaks for me to drink and take medicine. She did a phenomenal job. I obviously felt pretty awful but you would never know from the pictures! She did a fantastic job on my makeup. She listened to what I wanted and adjusted for new concerns. I was definitely glad we did a trial appointment a few months before the big day so she knew exactly what I wanted. She was even able to cover up a bruise on my arm from the IV the day before. We hired her by the hour to stay after the ceremony for additional pictures so she could do touchups on makeup and hair for the bridal party and me. We were so fortunate that she could stay because as it turns out, while taking pictures, a bee flew into my sister’s hair and we completely ruined her up do trying to get it out! Celeste was able to completely redo her hair before the reception started. Having Celeste there was seriously one of the best decisions we made regarding the wedding. She repeatedly saved the day!! I can’t recommend her enough to any bride/bridal party. She stayed calm through all the chaos and her gentle “go with the flow” attitude was exactly what we needed! Just know in advance that she communicates almost exclusively through email, so make sure you stay caught up when communicating with her.

Celeste is incredible and I can't recommend her enough! She immediately understood my vision and made me feel sooooo beautiful on my wedding day! She is a true artist. The hair and makeup looked flawless but also very natural - I still felt and looked like myself, but just a more glammed up version. I also brought hair extensions to my trial and Celeste was very accommodating and supportive in working with them. What I appreciate most is Celeste's versatility: she can really adapt to the style and desires of every member of your wedding party. My mom, for instance, never wears makeup and she was a bit reticent at first (actually she didn't even want to have her hair and makeup done but I convinced her!), but then she was beyond happy with the results! Celeste totally understood the kind of natural and understated look that my mom wanted to go for and made her feel so beautiful! She was so happy all night! My mother in law had a different style - she wears makeup often and enjoys a more glamorous look - and Celeste realized her vision soooo well too! That was amazing to see: how she gets every person's style and gives them what they want and feel comfortable with. We all felt amazing, and the hair and makeup lasted all night! Last but not least, Celeste is such a warm and calm presence. We really enjoyed spending time with her and I'm so happy to have gotten to know her. Thank you once again, Celeste!

I cannot thank Celeste enough for cooperating with my ever changing bridal party. She was with me every step of the way ensuring my day went great. She even was there when i had a hair emergency and talked me through everything ensuring it would be ok. Celeste and her team did all 5 of my bridesmaids hair, my moms hair and makeup, MIL makeup, as well as sister and MOH makeup. With a full day, she never complained or got tired, but rather did amazing! everyone loved their hair and makeup as well as i. My hair and makeup stayed all night even through the dancing and jumping. I cant say enough about celeste and her team.

SO happy to have picked her for our wedding hair services!! She was early, got along really well with all my bridesmaids and me, gave each girl exactly what they wanted, and made me feel like a princess. I didn't do a trial and had a different set of inspiration pics (none that I was sold on) but on the day of I let her have full control and she gave me a hairstyle I didn't think was possible. Taking out the pins after the wedding was a huge bummer because I didn't want to not have her work anymore. My biggest request was that I want an updo that won't budge (outdoor wedding) and all the strands stayed put even during windy times. Seriously, hire her. She's awesome!

Celeste is amazing. I booked her before I did a trial, and I knew during my trial that I chose well. Celeste is a beauty with a great eye for beauty, but she never makes you feel like less - she's calm, sweet, and supportive. And talented. I don't consider myself a pretty girl, but she made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. She was also more than willing to make adjustments for what I wanted. Terrific. Vanessa, her assistant, did a great job on my girls hair, including my new stepdaughter. Multiple different styles and they all looked great. Trust your beauty to Celeste and Vanessa. They're awesome.

Sonia (Celeste) did the makeup for my bridal party and myself for my wedding this November (2016). She was wonderful! She was so calm and professional, making sure that everything was done exactly as we wanted it. It was great having her onsite as well! I had gone back and forth about having onsite makeup because of the cost of them, but Sonia's prices were some of the best out there. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup, I couldn't have been more pleased. She even gave me a touch-up kit, with everything I could need for the reception. She and her assistant arrived early, got everyone done in the time allotted, and were so nice and fun to work with. Thank you Sonia!!

Celeste was amazing. Not only was her work fantastic, but spending time with her was both fun and calming. Everyone looked gorgeous, even at the end of a long reception and after party. It was really important to me to look like myself and not heavily made up, and Celeste made sure I liked what she had done and tweaked everything I wanted tweaked. I looked like me only way more impressive, and the pictures are stunning. I was so happy with everything - couldn't recommend her more highly.

Celeste and team were wonderful! My whole bridal party loved their work and were completely pleased with the outcome. All day people raved about how good our hair and make-up looked. Celeste is very patient and accommodating and wants to make sure that each person loves their look. She was open to feedback and more than happy to make changes as needed. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night and my hair always felt secure which was a huge plus! If you're looking for bridal hair and make-up, Celeste is for you! Thanks Celeste!

Celeste was amazing! I hired her to do my hair/makeup for my stepson's wedding. She was prompt and professional. She brought everything she needed including a chair for me to sit in when she did my hair and makeup. She was totally down to earth and listened to everything I wanted. We then discussed possible modifications to fit my unique personality and physical characteristics. The results were amazing! My makeup was perfect. It was natural yet sophisticated. I was not overly made up. Celeste brought out my best features. My hair was beautiful. I had brought hair extensions with me for Celeste to clip in that I had purchased at a beauty store to achieve the style I wanted. It came out better than I could have imagined! I can not say enough about how great she made me look! Thank you Celeste!

Celeste was wonderful to work with! I was so happy with how my hair & makeup came out on my wedding day, it looked flawless. Celeste traveled to our hotel in Fishkill with her assistants (who were also wonderful) which made my wedding day so much easier. She was also very accommodating for my hair & makeup trial which I was able to coordinate with my engagement photo shoot, which was perfect. Thanks Celeste!

Celeste Von Damon and her wonderful team did hair and makeup for my wedding day. I wanted her team to highlight everyone's one-of-a-kind natural beauty without looking too done up. Not only did they succeed, but they also added a wonderful, calming presence to a hectic morning. Celeste listens to what you want, offers advice when asked, and wants you to be happy. If you want to work with professionals who know their stuff, I would highly recommend Celeste and her team!- Colleen M

I hired Celeste Von Damon for hair & makeup for my wedding on July 8, 2016. Celeste and her assistant, Vanessa, did the hair & makeup for both moms and the entire bridal party. I’m so happy to have found Celeste so quickly. My previous hair/makeup “friend” flaked out on me 2 months before my wedding so I was frantically looking for someone. Also living 2 hours away from where the wedding was to be held, it was difficult to find someone. I found Celeste through Wedding Wire and she was available. I’m actually happier that this worked out the way it did, because I don’t think anyone else could have made me look more beautiful than she did. Celeste is very professional and uses only completely sterile and disposable applicators. She brings everything she needs with her as well, including a full-length mirror the day of the wedding to see the whole picture! She spent lots of time with me during the trial and we created the perfect wedding look together. After the trial, I immediately signed the contract! She was very accommodating to all my additions and even some last minute ones. The day of the wedding, Celeste and Vanessa, came to the house on time (which was 7:30AM) and were ready to go. We were all going non-stop until about 2:00. Celeste made sure that everyone was perfect before she left and touched anyone up that needed it. She also provided us with a touch-up kit for the rest of the day. Vanessa went above and beyond when one of the girl’s dresses ripped a little bit, she got out the needle and thread and sewed it up! Celeste & Vanessa were very professional and understanding to the needs of everyone in the party from the younger girls to the moms. Even, some people that normally don’t wear makeup, really liked their end result. The makeup stayed on all day long even in the summer sun outside! She made everyone feel at ease and we never ever felt rushed or anything. I cannot thank Celeste enough for coming through for me on my special day.

There are so many countless decisions and details to worry about on your wedding day but your hair does not need to be one of them, if you use Celeste and her team. I hired Celeste to do my bridesmaid’s, mother's, and my hair for my wedding this summer. The images of her work, outstanding reviews, and competitive pricing lead me to choose her for a trial. She was able to conceptualize the look I was going for on her first attempt and provided other important hair care advice. Leading up to the day of the wedding, I continued to be impressed with her timely responses and attention to details. She worked with my hair stylist (at the salon I go to) and myself to adjusting the hair extensions to the correct size based on the hairstyle I had chosen. She even offered to prep the extensions prior to the wedding allowing for more time the day of the wedding. All of the positive interactions I had with Celeste prior to the wedding did not do justice to the quality of work and professionalism Celeste provided on the day of my wedding- She out did herself! Her and another stylist arrived on time to my hotel and quickly set up in an area of the suite. She worked efficiently while consulting with all the girls to provide the best hairstyle for each. She would happily make tweaks should one of the girls change their mind. I also watched as her and the other stylist would independently make periodic adjustments or touch up to the girl’s hair prior to leaving for the venue. Celeste recreated the hair she did for me at the trial only better (as if that were possible). She asked me questions about details of placement of hair strands and flowers. She provided her professional input but deferred to my wishes. You can tell they take pride in their work and want you to look your best. My hair and my bridesmaid hair lasted all night and we received many compliments. The whole bridal party was ecstatic with quality of work Celeste provided. Celeste was the epitome of professionalism and

I can't thank Celeste enough for making myself and my bridesmaids look incredible for my wedding in Catskill NY in June 2016! She and her assistant were in charge of all hair/makeup for my bridal party (4 bridesmaids and myself), and Celeste personally did both my hair and makeup--both women did amazing work and everyone looked stunning. I could not be happier with how I looked on my wedding day; Celeste is truly is an artist. I also completely changed my hair idea in between the trial and wedding--I added a veil so we needed to change the style completely. I gave her some ideas and photos of the new style, and she went with it (but did talk to me throughout to see how I liked it--I liked everything!). It turned out better than I ever dreamed and I am the happiest newlywed because of her. She is calm, caring, professional, and great at what she does. Thank you Celeste!

I had a wonderful experience with Celeste!! After having a trial with her I knew right away that I wanted her to do my hair and makeup on my wedding day! She is extremely friendly, easy to talk to, was very quick to respond to emails and answer any questions that I had. She understood the style I was looking for exactly. Her work is amazing! I was married on June 4 at West Hills Country Club. Celeste arrived early and ready to go! Her and her assistant were wonderful and a pleasure to be around while we got ready- we listened to james brown all morning :) I received compliments all night ! I would highly recommend Celeste!!

I'm so thrilled we found Celeste and that she was available for our wedding date. She is the consummate professional, so good at what she does and with such a peaceful nature. On our wedding day, she was a calming presence in a sea of rushing around and semi-chaotic prep. She and Dori handled two brides, two bridesmaids, and a MOB with aplomb and made us all look fantastic. Neither of us is used to wearing makeup or elaborate hairstyles and Celeste was totally understanding of that. She struck the perfect balance between inquiring about our wishes and offering her own expertise. She made us feel so comfortable that we knew we were in good hands and she would make us look fabulous - and she did! I absolutely love the way we all looked and I am so grateful to Celeste for making it happen. I cannot recommend her more highly - she will make you look fantastic and feel great all at the same time!

As I sort through all the photos from my wedding, there is one person I need to thank for helping me be the most beautiful me for my wedding day, and that is Dori. Although we had a first session, I realized afterwards that I needed to work with MY features and my own personality, and not a projected image from all the beautiful Pinterest pictures you are surely looking at. Dori listened. And the result of that was feeling completely at ease and confident in my appearance, which allowed me to really enjoy the day and bask in all the compliments!

Planning a wedding long distance can be stressful, but Celeste was flexible when it came to my limited time on the East coast where I had several planning meetings in just a few days. During my trial she took her time (about three hours) and went over photos and discussed what I was looking for in terms of hair and makeup for my wedding. She did a great job, but after thinking about it for a few weeks, I had a some changes I wanted to make. I sent Celeste photos and explained as best I could what I wanted.

On the day of my wedding, I absolutely loved my makeup and hair. When I look at the pictures, I feel so good about how I looked and felt on the big day. Celeste listened to me and made tweaks from the work she did during my trial, and the end result was exactly how I envisioned it.

Her team did an amazing job with my bridesmaids and mom also looked fantastic. I had a day wedding with photos starting at noon. With myself, seven bridesmaids and two mothers, Celeste and her team did a great job in the time frame and space provided for them. Pricing is pretty typical in comparison to other vendors. With all things wedding related, prices are higher than normal, but in this case, it's well worth it.

Celeste is sweet and calming and a true professional. Not only does she understand hair and makeup, but also the needs of the bride on her important (and somewhat nerve-racking) day.

I am so grateful to have found Celeste. From the first email to the final lash, she was the epitome of professionalism, warmth and talent. I had two trials because I couldn't make up my mind about details and she was so welcoming and honest with all my ideas. On my wedding day she arrived promptly with her wonderful team and created order out of chaos. My six bridesmaids, my mom and I were so happy with the hair and makeup. We all felt so beautiful. Celeste is calming and exceedingly talented. I am so glad she was there to make me feel pretty on my wedding day.

Celeste was amazing! From the moment I contacted her to the day of my wedding, Celeste was always a pleasure to work with. I had asked Celeste to do hair for myself and my bridal party (6 people in total) and I had a hair trial with her - which I'd highly recommend because it allows you to play with your look and make sure you get what you want on your wedding day. Celeste is highly professional and very talented, and she is very open minded and aims to deliver the look you desire. She is also really flexible and the perfect energy to have around on your wedding day! (calming presence that encourages a fun atmosphere)
Overall, everything went great. On the day of the wedding, Celeste had brought her assistant and they both did an amazing job giving each girl a unique look. They were done within 1.5 hours (much faster than anticipated!) and we had a whole hour to just enjoy ourselves in the suite and have champagne and snacks before the pictures even began!
I would recommend Celeste to anyone, as she is talented, efficient, and a pleasure to work with!

The best hair and makeup for both me and my bridal party! Celeste will do a trial with you and video tape it from all angles so you can see what you love, or what you dont like. She takes her time and will try several different looks with you. I felt absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day and the compliments kept coming! I am recommending her to all of my friends!!

SUMMARY: Celeste is friendly, talented and detail oriented! Hire her and you will be extremely happy you did!

Celeste did hair & make-up for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding on August 1st. One of the first things that I looked for when hiring vendors for my wedding was responsiveness and she always responded to my e-mails quickly! Celeste came to my house to do a hair and make-up trial a month before the wedding date. She was really flexible about scheduling the trial. I felt super comfortable with her immediately and she was able to create exactly what I looking for. Going into the wedding day I had no concerns; I knew everyone would look incredible.
On the day of the wedding Celeste was exactly on time and was armed with everything she needed! I've been in a few weddings and I always remembered the hair & make-up time to be a little frantic, trying to fit everyone in and do it on-time. My hair & make-up experience was the complete opposite. We were all super relaxed and we done with time to spare!
I also need to emphasize the quality of Celeste's work. My make-up and hair were PERFECT and they stayed PERFECT all night!!! She was meticulous and took her time with every step and it truly shone through in the end result.

Celeste is the most amazing hair and make-up artist I have ever encountered! I would absolutely recommend her for everyone. I loved the way I looked on my wedding day and every time I see the photos, I'm filled with the same happiness I felt on that day! My entire family (very critical in general) was thrilled with her. We were all so impressed with her expertise and professionalism and calm demeanor. She has a soothing, wonderful presence that put me at ease on my wedding day and also during the trial. She's a must-have for discriminating brides and does extremely, nuanced careful work! I did very thorough research on hair and make-up artists beforehand. I'm very very careful about the vendors I choose to work with. Celeste's reviews were wonderful, so I had high expectations, and she totally exceeded them! Absolutely THRILLED.

Very flexible and willing to listen to your opinions and adjust hair styles according to your preferences. I gave her the wrong address on accident, but she worked plenty of extra time into the schedule and so was still able to complete everyone's hairstyles with plenty of time! Would definitely use her services again for future events!

Celeste was amazing to work with! She was on time, responsive, and quickly and professionally did my hair and makeup along with my maid of honor, sister in law, and mother in law. Celeste listened to each person's individual needs, and she and her assistant, Dori, did a great job of ensuring everyone's personality came through. My hair and makeup stayed beautiful throughout the entire day and I received a ton of compliments. Celeste was a great value and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great hair and makeup artist.

Celeste was very responsive as soon as I reached out to her regarding my need for hair and makeup services on my wedding day. It was only about a month before my wedding so we were swift in scheduling a trial, and appreciated her flexibility in making that happen for me. She set me up with Dori for my trial and I absolutely adored her! She made me feel comfortable, had great style and did amazing things with my hair and makeup (not too heavy, soft, subtle, and romantic). On the day of the wedding she was there right on time and got straight to work on my girls. I wanted to change the hairstyle I chose a bit from what we did at the trial and she took it in stride and pulled out an amazing look! She was totally professional, easy to talk to and did amazing work. I'd recommend her a thousand times over.

They both wanted to make sure that I was happy and was always responsive to my questions and comments. On the day of the wedding Dori did my hair and it was extremely beautiful!!! It stayed all night and was just perfect. I am so happy that I got to work with these awesome hairstylists.

Celeste and her team were amazing! They were all extremely skilled, and my bridesmaids all looked beautiful! Celeste also did the hair and makeup for my mother, and made her feel so comfortable and look so amazing! I had gone through 3 other makeup trials with different artists, and none even came close to how wonderful Celeste did with my hair and makeup. Because I had two ceremonies, a Hindu ceremony and a Catholic ceremony, I needed two unique looks. Celeste rose to the challenge and was very flexible with providing extra services and hours for my day. Thank you so much for everything!

Celeste was a doll to work with! She was so sweet and calm throughout the whole process. From initial emails to my trial, to the big day it was a great experience. All I needed was a couple of hair pictures and a general idea of what I wanted for make-up and the rest was in her hands. The result was fantastic! I received so many compliments on my look and my husband especially loved how my "natural beauty" was highlighted!

Celeste and her assistant also worked on my bridal party and they were kind and patient throughout the entire hectic morning :) The final result on my bridesmaids and mother was amazing! I can't thank her enough for taking care of us and I highly recommend her.

We hired Celeste to do our hair for my wedding and she and her team were AMAZING!!! From my trial to the wedding day, Celeste was SO great to work with. She is extremely talented and a true artist. So detail oriented!! Due to the rain, we had to change my planned hair style the morning of my wedding, and Celeste couldn't have been more accommodating. She has a soft, soothing nature about her that is so calming - I couldn't recommend more! Future brides, look no further.. Celeste is INCREDIBLE!

Thank you again, Celeste for making me and my bridal party look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day!!

xoxo,
Melissa

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Give Celeste a picture and she creates exactly that--but better. She did mine, my sister and mothers hair and makeup, and my grandma's makeup. My grandma looked so amazing; she isn't a makeup person and she felt so beautiful. We all felt like we weren't wearing any makeup. We looked effortless and fresh faced. Just beautiful. I would definitely without a doubt recommend Celeste. You will feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day, which is how it should be

I highly recommend Celeste, I was absolutely thrilled with her work. We got married about 5 hours away from where we live. I wanted to do a hair and makeup trial before the wedding because I have very full, think, and unruly curly hair and some scars on my face. I really wanted to due a run through so she knew what she was going to be working with, but due to time constraints and distance it just ended up being impossible. Our wedding was very DIY so the wedding day was extremely hectic.When Celeste arrived her energy was extremely calming and laid-back but she was also very professional and confident in her abilities so I felt completely at ease. She did hair for 4 of my bridesmaids and they all looked fabulous. They all had a different kind of style and really suited each of their personalities. My make up came out fantastic. It was the first time I've ever had airbrush makeup and I highly recommend it. My skin looked flawless! I sent her some photos of hairstyles that I liked so she knew what I was looking for, and it came out beautiful. She incorporated some flowers that we found last minute which I loved. She was very flexible, friendly, and talented. I got compliments all night and people are still telling me how beautiful I looked 2 months later! I felt like a princess all night. I would recommend to anyone getting married in the area. You won't be disappointed!!

Celeste and her crew were amazing! They showed up early, set up and worked right away. There were 7 bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law, a flower girl and myself. Celeste and her crew got everyone beautified and everyone looked gorgeous! She was so calm and no one was rushed being that there were so many of us. Even my photographer was saying how professional and great she was. I highly recommend them.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Celeste and her team! They made my bridesmaids and I look absolutely stunning on my wedding day. My makeup and hair were perfect. I literally have never felt so beautiful in my entire life and wish I could feel like that everyday of the year. Thank you Celeste! In addition to being an amazing hair and makeup artist, Celeste brought a great personality and positive energy to the entire process from the first time that I contacted her. I am so thankful that I found her and could not have asked for anything more. Simply amazing!

Celeste was terrific! She understood exactly the look I was looking for with my hair --- soft, romantic and classic but with a contemporary feel- and it needed to hold up to lots of dancing! Which it did - perfectly! And my make-up was perfect too- Just the right amount of make- up to take great photos but still with a natural not overdone feel in person.

She also had just the right amount of friendly yet professional style that she was a pleasure to spend time with as I prepared for my wedding.

I am so grateful to have found Celeste to beautify me and my bridal party for my wedding! She and her assistant made us all look and feel absolutely GORGEOUS which is priceless on such a special occasion. They were both at the venue, set up, and ready for us before we even arrived. Looking back at my wedding day I realized that the time I spent with Celeste while she was transforming me into a beautiful bride was the most tranquil moment I experienced on my wedding day. During what was overall a very rushed and hectic day, she had a very calm, warm energy that kept my nerves at bay. She even made sure I ate something as I was sipping my champagne… nobody wants to see a bride get sick or slur through her vows! I felt as if I had an additional bridesmaid looking out for me. Prior to the wedding, I referred her to the hair & makeup board on my Pinterest account to give her an idea of what I wanted and she nailed the look perfectly. I had a trial with her as well which I highly recommend to avoid any last minute doubts or changes (even though it’s not likely you will have any if you’re in Celeste’s talented hands). Also, our wedding was outside and it was a very warm day. By the end of the ceremony, I was sure my face was oily and that the makeup had slid off and that my hair had flattened and frizzed. However, one quick look in the mirror assured me that everything was still very much perfectly in place and I stayed flawless all night.

Thank you, Celeste, for a worry free professional experience! You are so talented, caring, and helpful and sitting with you to be beautified was a perfect start to my wedding day!

I had a wonderful experience with Celeste. She is very sweet and does amazing hair styles and make up. Her rates are very affordable in comparison to the crazy rates I saw everywhere else. I did a thorough research of all the available options in the area and was pleasantly surprised to find Celeste.

I came to her home for a trial first. I don't have a car, so I took a train from NYC and Celeste gave me a ride from and to the train station, which I thought was nice. I don't usually wear make up, so at first it seemed like too much make up for me, so Celeste toned it down slightly, but assured me that I would need that amount of make up for photos. I'm glad I listened to her! She was very flexible and worked with me on creating the look I wanted.

Celeste came on time and dealt with everything professionally. In the midst of the hectic wedding morning, I ended up overpaying (forgot that I already paid 1/2 of the deposit). I contacted Celeste after the wedding to get that 1/2 back, and she returned that money. Again, a very nice person!

Celeste is amazingly talented. From the moment I met her, I knew she would be the perfect stylist to do my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She has a calm energy that every bride needs. She came over to do both hair and makeup trials (which I highly recommend, so you have no questions about your look on your wedding day). I asked her to make me look like the best version of myself, natural and not too overdone. That's what she did. I asked for a bit more drama as I realized this is the opportunity to be a bit more glamorous than normal! She can do anything with your hair! Try bringing some pictures to show her and she can do just that on your hair. She took a 360 degree video of my hair and makeup and sent it to me after the trials so I could watch and let her know if there are any changes I wanted for my wedding day. She was soo great that I hired her to do all of my bridesmaids hair, some of their makeup and my mother and mother in law's hair. On the day of, she brought 2 assistants who were just as awesome as she was. We all loved what she did. Our hair and makeup stayed up for so long! Definitely recommend her to anyone!

Celeste was absolutely amazing to work with! She did an OUTSTANDING job on hair for myself and my bridal party, I received (and am still receiving) compliments on how great everyone looked.

Celeste is fun to work with, professional, and did a great job listening to what everyone wanted- I had 8 bridesmaids, all of them with different styles, and every one of them was very happy! I did a lot of searching and compared to other stylists in the area she is very reasonably priced and I would recommend her to any bride! Heather who came with her did an amazing job as well.

Thanks Celeste!

I found Celeste through a suggestion from a family friend. We had Celeste and her 2 assistants do hair and makeup for the bride, bridesmaids and moms. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous, natural, and felt incredibly comfortable. Celeste was very responsive, flexible and easy to work with.

At the trial, Celeste was very helpful in coming up with suggestions, as I (the bride) wasn't clear on what makeup look and hairstyle I wanted to go with. She looked at pictures of the dress and venue to understand the overall aesthetic.

During the morning of the wedding, Celeste's calming personality was definitely helpful! We had plenty of time for the bridesmaids to provide input on their makeup and hair looks, and get touchups as well. Everyone received eyelashes included in the price, and airbrush makeup was also an option for an additional fee. Many of the bridesmaids weren't sure exactly how they wanted their makeup and hair, and Celeste and her assistants had great ideas for all.

Everyone's hair and makeup lasted all day and night! Celeste also provided me (bride) with a touch up kit! I would highly recommend Celeste!

I would highly recommend working with Celeste and her team! Dori and two other artists worked on hair and makeup for myself and 6 of my bridesmaids for my wedding at the Wainwright House. Before the wedding I had a trial at Celeste's home and tested out the hair and makeup I was envisioning. I normally don't wear a lot of makeup so I only had a vague idea about what I wanted for my face and hair. Dori was great at translating my initial thoughts into something beautiful that emphasized my features without being overdone. On the day of the wedding my hair and makeup were even more beautiful than I had anticipated! I have a lot of hair that can be difficult to tame into an updo but my hairstyle lasted long into the night and looked great with my veil. My bridesmaids had beautiful, natural makeup and hair that emphasized their own unique features as well. Dori and Celeste were both very easy to work with, flexible, and responsive, I would highly recommend them for any event.

Celeste and her assistant did a great job with my hair/makeup, my mother and mother in laws hair/makeup and my bridesmaids hair. We had an early start to the day (5am) and Celeste and her assistant were on time and ready to go! My makeup lasted all day, not smudging even with lots of crying and tears. My mothers' hair and makeup was great! All the guests complimented them on how young they looked; their hairdos lasted all day as well. We slightly ran out of time with my hair given the early start, but it still looked great!

Celeste was just amazing. She arrived on time, bright and early, on my wedding day. She answered promptly to my emails. She did a wonderful job with my hair and make-up. She is very professional, friendly, and very calm. I felt at ease and comfortable with her. I had a trial hair and make-up with her as well. She really listens to what I want and did not want and proceeded to accomplish something wonderful for both hair and make up for me. The trial was bit more on the pricey side in my opinion but it was worth it. I would recommend doing a trial run first to figure out what you want for your wedding day. On my wedding day, she had me plus 5 other bridesmaid she worked on. She finished everyone on time which is fantastic. The only minor issue I became aware of (after the wedding) was that some of the hairstyle the bridemaids got were not as great as they thought it was gonna be. Overall though, she is a wonderful artist who works with your needs and requests, I would recommend her to future brides!

Loved my hair and makeup!

Celeste was wonderful to work with and I was so grateful she was able to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day! Celeste was very flexible and I booked her less than a month before my wedding. I didn't have time to do a trial, but I was so happy with the results. Other reviews had said she had done a great natural look for makeup and I couldn't agree more. I also loved my hair and it was the exact look I was going for and she didn't even need to fix anything. I was so impressed with how she took my vision and brought it to life! Vanessa who also helped with hair and makeup was great. The bridesmaids and my mom all loved their hair and makeup. They were both very professional and fun to chat with. They had everything they needed and made us all feel at ease. If I am up in the Cold Spring, NY area ever again and in need of hair and makeup, I will definitely hire both Celeste and Vanessa again! I couldn't be more thankful!

Celeste is great to work with. The quality and professionalism of her and her team is exceptional. She was extremely responsive which I found extremely helpful as the vision of what I wanted changed over the months.
She's able to envision what you want and deliver. I cannot say enough great things about her.
I know there are so many choices out there but you will love working with Celeste! She does it all - hair, make up and discussed how I should put highlights in my hair (because it's what I wanted even though she said I didn't need it) to make my look completely natural.
Thanks again Celeste for a perfect look!

I hired Celeste for hair and makeup for my wedding on 11/08/2014. From the moment I found her and contacted her in May of 2014, I had quite a few mishaps which included switching my venue, dates and times. However, Celeste was always responsive and assured me that she would be there for my wedding. I am a bride who does not wear much makeup and was not used to seeing herself "done up." Celeste worked with me during two trials before my wedding to find the look that made me happy. During our second trial, I gave her pictures of looks that I thought I would like and she was able to duplicate them beautifully. The day of my wedding, Celeste did the hair for my flower girl and two of my bridesmaids. Their hair was impeccable and lasted the entire night. Given my apprehension to not looking the way I wanted to on my wedding day, Celeste did exactly what I had asked for and even suggested that we start off "light" and then "build up" if I felt that I wanted more. When she finished with my hair and makeup, I was stunned! I felt so beautiful and was extremely happy. I wanted a fresh faced look that enhanced my features and she did just that. I am still getting compliments from friends and family on how amazing I looked. Celeste, as part of her services, provided touch-ups for me between the church and just before my entrance. Celeste was pleasant and very easy going, despite the very little direction I provided to her when we first began working together. I would recommend Celeste to any of my friends and would hire her again for a big event. Thank you again Celeste for helping me look my best on one of the biggest days of my life!!

I had an amazing experience with my hair and make-up stylists. They were very prompt and allowed plenty of time to prepare myself and 4 bridesmaids before our "first look" happened. Nothing ever felt rushed and they added a little something special to all of my bridesmaid's up-dos. The experience of them coming to my home and getting me ready there was very special and I'd recommend them to anyone!

Celeste is a very sweet person and I'm sure she would have been a delight to have around on my wedding day, but I strongly recommend booking a trial before sending in your deposit, and explicitly showing pictures of what you are looking for. Otherwise if you are unhappy with the result, you will loose your deposit like I did.

I waited a long time to write this because I was so conflicted. Celeste made my venues' tiny accommodations work and my bridesmaids looked amazing. She helped me calm my nerves when I didn't fit in my dress and was at my lowest. She was a great support during my most anxious time.

I couldn't afford a trial so I sent a ton of photos as I really wanted a very specific look.
Although she promised she could do what I asked, when the day came, i looked like Better Davis from whatever happened to baby Jayne. I had asked for a rockabilly pin up look. While she spent most of the time curling my hair, I didn't want my hair curled . In fact all the photos I sent had 1940 waves except for a make up a photo I had sent specifically high lighting the makeup only. When I noticed she wasn't doing a what I had wanted, o asked if she would brush it out as I wanted a 1940's glam look. She said it looked glam already and assured it was fine and didn't brush it at all.
She was so focused on making sure I had all of her payment she didnt notice how unhappy I was. Also I had asked her to discuss finances with my maid of honor so I wouldn't be stressed out, but since she talked toe about it, I spent more time worrying about her than focusing on making sure I was happy with the results.

In my close up pictures, my makeup looks caked on. In all other pictures I look three times my age. I hate to look at photos of the best day of my life.

I think she is a great person who is able to do the standard wedding makeup. If you are looking for a unique look, this might not be the best option, no matter how much you like her as a person.

I think Celeste has a wonderful personality however, she ran over her allocated time by 40 minutes and did not follow the pictures I showed her. It was me and 3 girls getting hair and makeup. Everyone was ready when they arrived with pictures and all. We started right away yet, they ran 40 minutes late which caused me to miss out on pictures I wanted and set a terrible tone for the day. Everything was rushed. When planning for the day I told her to come as early as she needed, there were not restrictions on my end that would have caused the delay. ALSO, I gave her pictures for hair and makeup and she DID NOT follow them at all. The work she did was beautiful but not what I wanted. Then add in that they were running late and she couldn't fix it. I wish I could include pictures on this review so you could see the difference. IF you do use her, my advice would be to go with looks she has in her gallery so you know she can do them and ask her to come an hour earlier than she thinks she needs to come. All in all, the delay and not having what I wanted put a damper on the day, I wish I didn't let it get to me so much but there's no chance to get back those pictures that I wanted to capture
