I cannot recommend Monica enough for wedding hair and makeup! She was punctual, professional, and truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and about her clients.
What I appreciated most is her natural approach to makeup—I still felt like myself on my wedding day and didn’t look unrecognizable, which can be hard to find with makeup artists these days. That said, she is incredibly versatile and will absolutely deliver any look you’re going for, whether it’s soft and natural or full glam. I felt beautiful, relaxed, and completely taken care of. I’m so grateful I chose her for such an important day! -

Monica is magic! 💖
There aren’t enough kind words to describe Monica and the talent, professionalism and care she brings to her work. One of my bridesmaids booked Monica as a wedding gift for my big day, and what a true gift it was to work with her. Monica took the time to truly get to know me, my preferences, and what style of makeup made ME feel most beautiful. Her attention to detail is outstanding, matched only by her warmth and care for her clients as individuals. I cannot recommend Monica enough! Not only did I feel the most beautiful I ever have in my life, but I had a calm, relaxed experience, knowing I was in great hands! I can keep going on and on about how great she is, but to sum it up, BOOK HER!! You won’t regret it 💓 -

Monica was an absolute JOY to work with. We worked together throughout my whole engagement and by the end she seemed more like a friend than just a makeup artist. She is kind, personable and hilarious and truly cares about making you feel and look your absolute BEST on your big day. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and she brought every vision I had for my wedding day makeup to life. Look no further!!! Monica is your girl. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 -

Wedding Makeup
Monica was extremely professional from our first encounter to our last. We did a makeup trial for my wedding and I immediately knew that she was going to be the artist to do my makeup for my wedding. She is so nice and made me feel so beautiful! She listened to what I was looking for in a makeup look and nailed it the first try. I would recommend her to anybody who is looking for a reliable, professional, and skilled makeup artist! -

I reached out to Monica as a VERY last minute "bride in a jam" during the fun covid times, as my make up artist got sick last minute and was no help offering or finding a replacement. Monica was available and was wonderful! She actually came to the rescue on her one weekend off, and friends of mine who are in the industry told me I lucked out b/c she is one of the best in the area and business as a while! Truth be told, I was SO much happier with her work than my original makeup artist, and the rave reviews from my family and guests kept coming in. She pad such great attention to my makeup and details as well as my bridal party's. I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience it was working with Monica on the days leading up to and the day of our wedding - her work is AMAZING and I can't thank her enough for getting this bride out of a makeup jam! -

Make up is one of the most important things when it comes to your wedding day and I know I wanted an artist that I trusted and someone who would make me feel beautiful, but also feel like myself. From my initial meeting of Monica back in 2018, to my trial in 2021 and then to my wedding in 2022, every appointment ran flawlessly and was professionally handled. Monica understood exactly what I was looking for and she killed it! I have never felt so beautiful, then on my wedding day. Monica is so easy to work with, so sweet and obviously beyond talented! It's an absolute no brainer to choose Monica for your wedding day! -

Monica is the BEST
Ok, first of all- stop looking because Monica is who you NEED and who you want for your Wedding- or just any special occasion! She’s a rockstar, she’s funny, she’s fun, she’s personable and makes the whole experience beyond amazing. Many people recommended her to me and I’m so glad she was available for my wedding. My mother, mother in law and bridesmaids all said how beautiful they felt after their make up was done. I received so many compliments and felt so gorgeous. I’m so lucky to have been referred to her and now I want to make sure everyone knows to use her. You won’t regret it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, Monica! -

I felt like a princess all day! Every photo of me looked flawless! Professional photos or candids by the guests all had me looking just as amazing and that's all because of Monica's amazing work. -

Where do I even begin?! Monica was is the absolute BEST choice to hire for my wedding. If I could hire her to do my makeup all the time, I would! Not only did she do an incredible job, she is the nicest person! Before the big day she sends you tips and instructions to help your skin be its best, and after she’s done she gives you a little kit to touch up during the night! She even stayed extra time to make sure my makeup was perfect- right up to getting into my dress! Her and her team were on time, professional and an absolute dream. We all received so many compliments throughout the night thanks to her. I cannot recommend Monica enough!!! -

Makeup absolutely incredible!
She was absolutely amazing! My sister-in-law used her for her wedding back in 2017 and I was excited that she was available for my wedding. I went to her for my first makeup trial and I really liked it. She told me to let her know throughout the day how the makeup stayed on and if there are any areas I would like to change. I don’t wear a lot of makeup so I wanted to have a more natural look. I realized I didn't love fully the makeup around the eyes and she took those notes and even offered for me to come by to do a trial on just the eyes. She wanted to make sure it was perfect for my wedding day. Having someone that allows you to be open and honest about your makeup truly makes the experience better. I have seen many girls on here feel like they have to walk on eggshells if they didn't like their look. She embraces your feedback and she is not finished until you are happy! The day of my wedding I couldn’t have felt more pretty. She is so passionate about her craft and truly individualizes every girl, studies their skin tone and how the makeup lays. She listens to what you want and delivers. She even brought an extra girl to help. Everyone's makeup stayed on all night and the girls raved about how great she did. She is seriously the sweetest too. If you're looking for someone for makeup, she is the one to call! -

Eileen Sent on 12/10/2021Best Makeup artist ever
Monica was so amazing!! I found Monica thanks to the recommendation of another bride at my venue after having two terrible trials with another makeup artist. My trial with Monica was amazing, she listened to everything I wanted and she exceeded my expectations! Monica is a true gem, her technique is flawless and I have never looked better than I did on my wedding day, she also did my mom and my sisters makeup and they looked amazing as well. I am so happy I found her and I recommend that everyone use her for their wedding day makeup! -

Alex Sent on 12/09/2021Amazing, kind, well done!
Not only is Monica the sweetest, she's patient, listens to you about what you want/dont want, she works with you, she's kind and she makes you feel special during the trial and even more special on the big day! I was super happy with my finished look and so were all my bridesmaids. She was recommended to me by a friend and now I recommend her to anyone that needs makeup done. Will be using her for upcoming events! -

Monica is an absolute incredible makeup artist!! I had my makeup done professionally only once before, many years ago, not liking how I looked. I assumed that was what "professional makeup" was supposed to look like and forever did my own makeup when necessary. I booked Monica for the day of my wedding really for just ease so that I wouldn't have to worry about doing my own makeup. I was 2 months postpartum and had zero time for a trial. I sat down with Monica the morning of my wedding expecting to get the typical makeup done that would make me not look like myself. Well, I nearly cried it all off the minute she handed me the mirror. I never in a million years thought I would look (and feel) so beautiful. Monica took so much time making sure every color she used accented my features. She made sure to ask how comfortable I was with a blush color, eye brow shape, sheerness of a foundation, etc. and she did all of this on schedule for me and my bridesmaids. I cannot recommend Monica enough! -

Best makeup!!
Monica did the makeup on my mother and I. My makeup came out just incredible!! I’ve never felt so pretty in my life! I was very particular on what I wanted especially with my lashes and she hit the nail on the head, even better than I envisioned. I also have blotchy dry problem skin and she somehow made me look like a model! I had a morning wedding so we were there at the crack of dawn. She was punctual and even got the makeup done a tiny bit earlier than expected which gave us time to make the last minute adjustments for my dress and even walk down the aisle on time. My mom also loved her makeup and raved about how fantastic it was for months after. Monica is so friendly and was such a calming presence for that morning. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about her work and I’m a perfectionist. It just blew me away!
I had also changed my wedding date several times due to covid uncertainty, and she was very flexible.
I’d gone to a couple other makeup artists for trials and ended up choosing Monica not only for her skill and expertise but also because she was so incredibly nice and made me feel comfortable and confident. -

Lindsay Sent on 12/05/2021The best and sweetest makeup artist!
Booking Monica was one of the best decisions I made while wedding planning. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her! I wanted to look glamorous but still like myself and she truly made that happen. I loved how my makeup and lashes looked on my wedding day, and I also loved how it felt! When Monica does your makeup it never feels heavy or caked on. My wedding day was humid and it rained off and on and my makeup still stayed so perfectly throughout such a long day!
Monica is also so organized and will help you schedule your getting ready timeline. I had nine bridesmaids plus the mothers of the bride and groom that needed makeup done and everything ran so smooth that morning. Everyone also LOVED their makeup!
I also can't say enough about how incredible Monica was to work with when we decided to postpone our 2020 wedding due to Covid. It was a very stressful time for everyone and yet she was unbelievably understanding, responsive, and accommodating when we picked a new date. I can't recommend booking Monica for your wedding day enough!!! She is so talented, one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and truly the BEST! -

Chelsie Sent on 11/01/2021Highly recommend this sweet and talented makeup artist!
Monica is a very skilled and personable makeup artist. I had the most pleasant experience with her, during both the trial and the day of my wedding. My bridesmaids and I received great compliments throughout the night--my makeup lasted from around 1pm until I washed it off after midnight. Highly recommend!!! Will be working with her again for my future makeup needs whenever possible. -

Monica is beyond amazing! Her skills are perfection and she is so incredibly talented. Monica knows exactly what to do and she is a person that you instantly trust when you meet her. She is knowledgeable, talented, smart, and so much fun to be around. Monica makes the entire process comfortable, fun, and talks things out with you. After meeting Monica, I felt like I had a friend doing my makeup for my wedding because she is just truly one of a kind. Don't hesitate to book this incredibly talented woman! Thank you Monica for everything you did for us! My mother, mother-in-law, bridal party, and myself are so incredibly grateful for you! -

Monica was absolutely incredible and I would 100% recommend her for your wedding day!! She put so much time and care into my bridal makeup, and I couldn't have been happier with it! My skin is super dry, so she spent a lot of time during the makeup trial finding just the right products and made sure everything was perfect on the big day. My makeup lasted all day (even in the heat of an outdoor, summer wedding) and still looked great at the end of the night. Monica is super sweet, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She also did the makeup for my mother and one bridesmaid, and they both looked fantastic as well! -

All I can say about Monica is...WOW! I booked her for me and my mother in law’s makeup and she was just so wonderful! She was so professional and so much fun to be around.
Not to mention she really helped me relax, and really helped me feel at ease the day of the wedding. With all the chaos on the day of the wedding, the last thing you want is a vendor who is going to stress you out with their own timeline. Monica was so laid back, not to mention she does the best work in the business!!!
Her work speaks for itself! I’m so glad she was part of my special day. I couldn’t picture having anyone else do my makeup. ❤️ -
Kye Sent on 12/24/2017Monica was an amazing artist to work with! With a large party of 14 girls I was not only impressed by the way Monica fit us all in, but how each girl came out looking more beautiful than the next! Monica consistently communicated with me to make sure we were all set before the big day, came to our hotel early in the morning, and was prepared with every shade of make up imaginable. Her professionalism was 5 stars, not to mention how genuinely excited she was for me on my wedding day <3 She was a great addition to have around as we pampered and prepped the morning away. Monica listened to the styled look each of us were going for and made sure we looked natural, glamorous, and felt our best! I highly recommend Monica for any occasion were you want to feel beautiful!

Teresa Sent on 11/30/2016Monica truly is the best there is. I have been in many weddings as a bridesmaid and no other makeup artist has ever been able to make me feel as comfortable and as beautiful as Monica has. There is no one else I would trust to do my makeup on my wedding day. She makes you look and feel like your most beautiful self. As someone who does not wear makeup regularly Monica made me feel at ease and meet with me for hours to try out different looks and styles. Monica is so kind, sweet and professional and she is amazing at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist and I know I will use her again for future events.
