I loved working with Alexa on my wedding day. She was kind, professional, and open to hearing my vision—exactly the kind of presence you want when planning a wedding.
During the t...
rial, I felt completely comfortable sharing what I liked and didn’t like. Alexa listened carefully, made adjustments, and made me look and feel beautiful. On the wedding day, the results were even better than the trial.
She was wonderful with my family members and bridesmaids, making everyone look like the best version of themselves. Alexa is punctual, professional, thorough, and incredibly talented. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.
Alexa is an excellent makeup artist and I highly recommend her for your wedding day. She is a great listener and totally understood the look I wanted. I have full confidence she ca...
n adapt her style to any bride – she has huge experience, a large arsenal of options, but is also friendly and flexible. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day and loved how everything turned out. Her prices are also reasonable. Thank you so much Alexa!!!!!!!
Alexa was a lifesaver. I am a very indecisive bride and she not only understood what I wanted (when I didn’t know) but she was patient, lovely and incredibly talented. I was so wow...
ed by my bridal make up and my pics were perfect! She did my make up and all of my bridal party. Everyone looked stunning.
Alexa was amazing to work with! I learned about her through another friend who had hired her for her wedding, and I would highly recommend her. She is professional, easy to communi...
cate with and organized. Her personality just puts you at ease, which is definitely helpful on the big day. During the make-up trial she listened to what I was looking for. She helped me feel beautiful, playing up my strengths in a natural way, so I still looked like me. Everyone in my wedding party was super satisfied with how their make-up looked and made them feel. 10/10 would recommend!
You 100% should hire Alexa as your makeup artist for your wedding, I cannot stress that enough! Alex is so lovely, knowledgeable, talented, reliable, and the type of calming presen...
ce you want on your wedding day (and leading up to). She was a dream to work with from the get-go—and that included when I had to change my wedding date due to Covid.
I found Alexa during a deep bridal dive on Instagram and after looking at her website and chatting with her on the phone, it was a done deal in my mind. And that's coming from someone who is very particular about who does her makeup (after having several subpar experiences as a bridesmaid). Then, of course, the makeup trial sealed the deal. (My mom, a makeup enthusiast, was present for my trial I'm pretty sure she fell in love with her.)
Alexa made me feel like the prettiest version of myself on my wedding day. What's more, she did a beautiful job on the other ladies--my sister, mother and mother-in-law. Needless to say, she knows how to make up women of all ages, skin types and tones. Girl's got range!
Go with Alexa—she's exactly who you want on your wedding dream team!
Alexa made me feel stunning on my wedding day! Not only did she listen to what I wanted but also stayed for touchups throughout the day. She kept me calm and feeling at ease throug...
hout the day and night. My bridal party and I looked like our best selves thanks to Alexa! Can't give a higher recommendation! Truly wonderful!!
Aside from making me, my maids of honor, and family feel truly beautiful, I give full credit to Alexa for helping me find my go-to lip color! I did a makeup trial in November 2021 ...
and she was very responsive throughout the process, asking questions about my skincare and preferences with what I wanted. On the morning of my wedding, she was so friendly and attentive to everyone and accommodating to their different styles. I highly recommend her for anyone having a New York City wedding!
Alexa made me and my whole group of friends and family look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She’s so calm and listens to feedback while still lending her expertise to what...
will photograph well and make you shine. She’s an absolute pro and the best person to have by your side to make you look your best on your wedding day!
Alexa is AMAZING! Not only is she an amazing artist, she is super kind and has great energy and vibes - just what you need while getting ready on your wedding day. I hired Alexa af...
ter a trial appointment in 2019 for my wedding in 2020. After we postponed our wedding until summer of 2021, I used her for an engagement photo shoot. Every time she did my makeup, it was absolutely flawless, picture perfect without looking too overdone, a beautiful and natural glow. And at the wedding, lasted an entire hot and humid August day in NYC. Everyone in my bridal party (including my mother and MIL) looked gorgeous and was so thrilled with their makeup as well. I would highly recommend Alexa to anyone! And hope I have an excuse to get my makeup by her again soon!
Everyone always talks about how amazing their wedding was. But if you have been looking for a makeup artist, look no further. Alexa is EVERYTHING. She made me, plus 12 other women ...
look effortless and feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. I was a 2020 bride and had my first consultation with her back in 2019! I moved my wedding twice and on the second re-schedule Alexa wasn't available. I did another trial with another vendor, and it confirmed how much I loved Alexa. When we had to schedule for the third time she was available ( thanks to having 1.5 to wait!) I am extremely picky, and with SO many people to choose from, seriously, stop looking- she's it!
Alexa truly made me look like a supermodel and yet still myself -- that's how I felt and what I heard from guests! Plus, she is just cool and super easy to talk to/get along with/e...
tc. Definitely would just hang out with her :) I look forward to some other special event in my future where I can use her again.
I cannot recommend Alexa highly enough--working with her was my favorite part of the whole wedding planning experience! From emails to the trial to the actual wedding day, she was ...
communicative, friendly and such a wonderfully calming presence. I wasn't sure how to articulate exactly how I wanted my makeup to look but she somehow figured out exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly! She made me and everyone in my bridal party look absolutely stunning and I'll treasure the photos of us all looking so beautiful forever. I recommend Alexa to everyone!
Alexa was absolutely critical in making my day super relaxed and special. She had such a positive attitude and vibe that helped set the tone for the day and I was so at ease with h...
er doing my makeup. She was also so good with my mother and MIL, who are both big personalities and not always the most trusting of makeup, but they were so thrilled. Not to mention that her work is absolutely exquisite and I really felt like my best version of myself on my wedding day. I had multiple people tell me I looked natural and glowing and that is all due to Alexa's fabulous work!
Alexa is the absolute best! Not only is she a fantastic makeup artist, she's also just a calming presence and kind person... which matters when you're feeling stressed on your wedd...
ing day. Alexa gave me such a natural yet elevated look. I also struggled to decide between a few looks. I asked her opinion and she wasn't afraid to share -- which I really appreciated with my indecision. I've already referred her to every bride I know. You really can't go wrong picking Alexa.
Alexa is an incredibly talented makeup artist and gem of a human. She did makeup for all of the women in my wedding party and I had quite a range from those who never ever wear mak...
e up to those who wanted some pizzazz. Alexa delivered. She will meet you where you're at and do the makeup YOU want. My sister even said it looked like we all had different makeup artists because of Alexa's ability to do what YOU want and we all wanted something different. In addition to her makeup artistry skills, she's incredibly warm, friendly, easy to work with, and very comfortable to be around. She is who you want in the room with you on your wedding day and who you can trust to do the makeup that you will feel beautiful and confident in.
I am not exaggerating when I say that I will never ask another person to do my makeup ever again. Alexa is officially the only person I trust! She is a dream of a human and was suc...
h a pleasure to work with. My wedding day makeup turned out exactly how I wanted it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Alexa was wonderful to work with. The make-up she did for me and my wedding party was outstanding. My wedding party included women from 10-91 years old and she was great with every...
single one of them. Alexa even came to the rescue by flawlessly covering the zit that cropped up on my husband's nose the morning of our wedding. (For this alone we are forever grateful)!
Perhaps equally important as her make-up skills, Alexa is the best in high-emotion moments. She is very professional, collected, and has a lovely calm demeanor. I was very happy to have her on my team as I got ready for my big day!
I used Alexa for my NYC wedding last year and she was amazing. I wanted something natural because I don't usually wear a ton of makeup and was worried about not looking like myself...
on my wedding day. I looked exactly how I envisioned myself as a bride- she brought out my best features and made me feel effortlessly beautiful. She also did my 2 younger sister's makeup as well as my mother & mother-in-law. I was genuinely shocked at how good everyone looked and how she could tailor her applications by age group to make everyone look their best. My mom, who never wears makeup and also has a very natural look, was almost in tears. She said she felt so beautiful as well and said that Alexa was a true artist. Worth every penny and some.
One other very memorable thing was how personal Alexa was. She made me feel so calm and at ease- I felt like we were friends after the day.
