A date isn't held without an executed contract and retainer. The sooner you know your date, the better. On average, I book about six months to one year out, however there are dates more popular than others (peak season is May-October). Also note that COVID-19 has elevated the amount of inquiries coming in so many popular dates may book out 1.5-2 years out. Once you have secured a venue and date, I advise that you should book hair and makeup shortly after.

With a network of extremely skilled makeup artists (who just so happen to be my friends), I am able to build a team of as many artists as needed to accommodate your party and will be in charge of paying them out.

There is a minimum of 3 for on-location bridal services , however I can accommodate the bride only if requested- additional fees will apply.

There are quite a few reasons but here are the top three reasons why you should hire a professional makeup artist for your wedding day: #1: Weddings, no matter how big or small, are an investment. One of those investments may be towards a photographer you've been admiring on social media for years. You invest in a great photographer to capture one of the most important day of your life- why not look like your best self in them? # 2: You will be busy on your wedding day- you deserve to enjoy it, even getting ready. You will have a lot of moving parts and people- you've dedicated a lot of time planning this day- you, yes YOU, deserve to be pampered. You deserve to sit back, relax, and have others do things for you. My #1 goal is to make you feel relaxed, comfortable and beautiful inside and out on your special day. #3: Professional makeup artists know what works and doesn't work in front of the camera- they also know how to work with all skin types and tones. Event makeup is very different than your everyday makeup- we have to ensure its sweat-proof, kiss-proof, smudge-proof, hug-proof, etc. With over 10 years of experience, I've tested and tried hundreds (probably thousands) of professional products and know what works with specific skin types, tones, etc. and what is long-wearing. As a licensed esthetician, I know how to approach skin and how to apply the correct products to any skin type and tone.

On average, each bridal party member's makeup takes about 40 minutes, while the bride's makeup typically requires around 1 hour and 10 minutes. I also schedule an additional 10 minutes between each service to thoroughly disinfect and prepare for the next appointment. After all services are complete, I always leave extra time for final touch-ups. I’ll work closely with you to create a detailed schedule ahead of your wedding day, which can be shared with your bridal party and vendors.

As a licensed esthetician, I am fully insured through ASCP and can provide a Certificate of Insurance upon request.

Yes! I highly recommend a trial-run or bridal preview and don't mind if you want to "try before you buy" to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your makeup before you sign a contract, however the only way to lock in your event date is with a fully executed contract and 50% retainer. The trial takes about 2 hours and allows us to work together to develop your desired look. I also ask that, if possible, you wear the look throughout the day. I will always follow up 24-48 hours after your trial to see how you liked your makeup- how it wore throughout the day and what changes, if any, you have or want to make. I recommend you book a trial 6 months prior to your event date. I hold the bridal trials typically on Thursdays and Fridays at my home studio space in North Reading, MA. On-location trials will incur additional fees.

To ensure a comfortable and focused environment during your preview, I kindly request that you come solo - but if you want to bring a guest, please limit guests to one person if the session takes place in my home studio due to space constraints. If the trial is conducted at your home, please provide ample space, and ensure that pets and children are kept in a separate area for a smooth, distraction-free experience.

My bridal makeup package includes a detailed consultation, monthly check-ins, a personalized client portal where you can easily manage all the details of your booking, wedding day makeup application and a touch-up kit. I also offer services for the bridal party and can stay on-site for touch-ups if desired.
