An absolute dream to work with Alex! I am beyond happy with how everything turned out and loved her and her team every step of the way. They really care and are willing to do everything to achieve your vision!
Alex did make-up for my wedding – mine, my maid of honor’s, flower girl’s, my cousin and my mother’s – and she did an amazing job - EVERYONE looked great, felt beautiful and was super happy with their look.
Alex and I hit it off right away fr...
om the first meeting over the phone. She has a positive, calming aura and you can tell she truly cares. I was concerned about looking overly made up and having someone who knew how to manage Asian skin – Alex is not only super knowledgeable but has impeccable taste. My maid of honor cannot stop talking about what a fantastic job Alex did!
She was flexible, easy to work with and had a calming and patient vibe that made you feel instantly comfortable and confident. She was super responsive throughout the entire process and really listened to what you wanted - you could tell she really cared and wanted to make sure she helped make your vision a reality. I cannot say enough good things about Alex – I highly recommend her! Thank you Alex for making our wedding perfect! 💜
I hired Alexandria's company to come to my apartment on my wedding day and do hair for me (bride), my sisters (bridesmaids) and my mother. Merita was my stylist and she did an excellent job. Everyone looked gorgeous, everyone's hair stayed look...
ing great the entire night, and the whole process was easy to book and seamless. Would highly recommend Bridal by Alexandria for wedding day glam!
I’m so happy I hired Alexandra’s team for my wedding at the NY Botanical Garden last month. Desiree (makeup) and Merita (hair) spent the morning with us at the venue and did the most incredible job on my bridal hair and makeup and that of my 6 ...
bridesmaids, my mom and MIL. Everyone felt beyond beautiful, and everything stayed perfectly in place until I went to bed at 5 the next morning, even though it was 90 degrees on my wedding day! Merita also helped me choose hair extensions ahead of time, which she put in on the wedding day, and they looked incredible. I highly recommend doing a trial with them, and loved that they offered mother/daughter trials, which was such a fun bonding experience for me and my mom. While the team is based north of NYC, do not hesitate to book them for city weddings as their travel rates are extremely reasonable. 10/10 recommend!
Loved working with Kate for my bridal hair! She was so friendly, relaxed, and easy going. She made me and my bridal party so comfortable and beautiful in making our hairstyles perfect.
The best team! So organized and with an impeccable attention to detail. Kate and Kelly made the morning of the wedding so relaxing and pressure free while getting ready! Their hair and makeup were phenomenal and made us all feel absolutely gorg...

I am so happy I booked my hair and makeup through Bridal by Alexandria. The whole process was so seamless and they went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect.
Sarah was so sweet and helpful in making sure all of our questions we...
re answered and that the timeline went smoothly.
Merita did an amazing job on my hair and I absolutely loved my makeup by Jordan! Merita found hair clips that went well with my coloring and I loved the way she styled my hair. Jordan listened to what makeup I requested and did a wonderful job of giving me exactly what I wanted. They are such lovely ladies and so wonderful to work with.
Thank you so much :)
Bridal by Alexandria was amazing to work with from start to finish! We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and they were professional and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Merita and Kelly were amazing for my hair and makeup...
as well as Desiree and Jennifer. Everyone loved their hair and makeup for my wedding day and it was such a pleasure working with everyone❤️
I am SO happy with the work Kelly (makeup) and Merita (hair) provided for my wedding! My mom and I did a trial and both Kelly and Merita welcomed any feedback we had and really delivered for the big day! Kelly knew exactly the look I was going ...
for and added in her professional opinions to bring it to life. Kelly maintained a fun and calm energy that helped me and everyone else feel ready for the day!
I can't thank and recommend Kelly and the Bridal by Alexandria enough. Kelly was patient, professional and a pleasure to work with. She was highly knowledgeable and my bridesmaids and my makeup stayed well past the end of the day.
I had actually just about signed a contract with another vendor when my friend recommended Bridal by Alexandria. I wanted a difficult hair style and Merita not only was more than capable, she suggested some alterations based on my hairline that...
I loved, helped me buy the best hair extensions, and gave hair care recommendations leading into the big day.
I'm also a sweaty person, so I'm always nervous about being shiny or my make up wearing off by the end of the night, but Desiree did such a great job, everything stayed all night and into my after party, even after hours of dancing. Can't recommend their team enough!
The Bridal by Alexandria team totally nailed it. Best decision I made working with them! Thank you!
Bridal by Alexandria was a DREAM to work with for our wedding day. Jacqueline and Sarah were extremely accommodating for many changes/adjustments that were needed to be made, and Kelly, Merita & Desiree were so flexible throughout this whole pr...
ocess! It was a huge relief to know that they had everything under control and organized for me, and we even finished earlier than their projected end time. All of the hair and make up looks flawless and did not need to be adjusted or touched up for the entire event. They listened to everything that I (and my bridesmaids) were looking for, and truly made them all look incredible! I am SO incredibly thankful for everything!
Desiree was the hair stylist for my wedding day and she did such beautiful work! She styled myself, my mother, my mother-in-law and my sister and my sister-in-law and it was very timely and efficient. She is also a very chill energy which I rea...
lly appreciated on the big day. She was so open and flexible, we ended up doing a different style than the one we did at my trial and I loved it. Thank you!! <3
Kelly McNamara with Bridal by Alexandria was a pleasure to work with! She did an excellent job with my (the bride) makeup as well as my wedding party. I needed a makeup look that could transform quickly when I changed into my reception lengha. ...
Both looks, the ceremony and reception, were exactly what I envisioned and all we did was change my lipstick color. My bridal party and the mothers ranged in skin tones and finding someone who could work with both fair and dark skin tones was paramount. It was important to me that everyone feel beautiful and Kelly delivered! Not only did she do a fabulous job with the makeup, Kelly was personable and made everyone feel welcome.
I booked Bridal by Alexandria for my makeup wedding and I truly can't say enough good things. Emma and Kelly did my makeup and all my bridesmaid's makeup, and everyone was absolutely thrilled with the result. Not only are they incredibly talent...
ed, they are professional and made the day extremely fun and seamless. I'm so glad I chose them for my big day and would recommend them time and time again. :)
I worked with Jennifer for my 11/6/21 wedding. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the day and helped bring a calming presence to the getting ready process. I did a trial with Jennifer first before the wedding day. She let me try out two...
styles so I could see which one I liked the best. She even took notes as well as photos so we could replicate the look for my wedding day. Jennifer did hair for me, 9 bridesmaids, flower girl, mother, and mother in law. Jennifer arrived extra early to make sure that there was plenty of time to get everyone’s hair done. Jennifer can really do it all - from blow outs to updos. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to any bride. Bridal by Alexandria in general was great to work with and they were very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process.
Desiree was absolutely fantastic - she listened to exactly what I wanted, the make up and hair for my wedding party was phenomenal - Id book again a million times over!
We used Kelly on the team and she was the best! She nailed everyones make-up and made us us look like our natural selves which is exactly what we wanted. The best part was that Kelly felt like she was part of the girls. She was so fun to get re...
ady with and she really is a pro at her trade. Our wedding was also a pandemic wedding and so I used them twice and they were so prompt, flexible, understanding and easy to work with as a vendor. Would absolutely recommend them!
I found Kelly (makeup) and Merita (hair) through Bridal by Alexandria. They did an amazing job and would recommend them to all brides in the Hudson Valley! They arrived on time and I was so impressed they were each able to handle 9 women, and t...
he timeline was spot on.
They did an incredible job! All of my bridesmaids were impressed with how long their hair and makeup lasted, especially compared to their other weddings they’ve been in. I loved my hair and makeup, and they were receptive to my feedback and inspiration photos.
Emma and Merita were both so personable and amazing to work with. I was so grateful to have done a trial with them and they helped my wedding day feel so special. Book them!!
Jacqueline and Sarah from the Bridal by Alexandria team were so org...
anized and on top of everything. As I planned my wedding myself, it was so helpful to have them as points of contact for scheduling. They really set the bar high for the vendor relationship. Five stars!
This is an extremely talented group of professional hair and makeup artists. If you’re looking for a company to provide quality work and a positive experience in your wedding day, you have to book with Bridal by Alexandria! What’s special about...
this team is the foundational support they provide you well before your wedding day. I greatly benefited from my digital skin appointment and wellness guides and truly feel like my my skin is the best it’s ever looked. I had to book multiple trials since the pandemic lengthened my engagement and I benefited from meeting multiple members of the team. I had a lot of wedding stress but one thing I never questioned was my confidence in their ability to stick to a schedule, use quality products, and make myself and my bridal party feel and look our absolute best. I felt like I wanted to be best friends with Kate and Desiree after it was all over. I love following them, especially Alex on social media because of all the great beauty and wellness insight they share. It honestly felt like they were part of my group of girlfriends the morning of my wedding and we all had such a fun time together getting ready! I can’t say enough positive things about them!!
Desiree did my makeup for my wedding day - she was phenomenal! She really helped translate the pictures I had brought as inspiration. She was professional, fun to be around, and so so talented. Absolutely loved working with her and would totall...
y book her again for another event!
Sarah was so awesome in helping all of us look and feel our best! She gave awesome recommendations on what she thought would look best on everyone and had a lot of options and was so sweet!!
The team was great to work with and they did an absolute gorgeous job on my bridesmaids and me. I felt like such a queen and owe a lot of that to them.
THE BEST! Bridal by Alexandria worked with me through 2 rescheduled wedding dates and still provided the best service and best hair & makeup artists I could have asked for. Both Merita (hair) and Becca (makeup) did an incredible job on me and m...
y girls, and made sure everyone was completely happy with how they looked. Could not recommend enough!
Alex is the ultimate hype girl who also happens to be extremely talented! Whether you want a soft, natural look or full on glam fit for a cover shoot, Alex is your girl! She brings your vision to life, all while drawing out your inner beauty wi...
th her amazing energy. For a look that is memorable, long lasting (and I mean through tears, laughter, sweat from dancing your butt off, and whatever weather Mother Nature throws your way) and camera ready, as well as an artist who will authentically make you feel like a million bucks, look no further!!!!!! Don’t hesitate to book her, because she is super in demand and you don’t want to settle for anything less on your special day!!
Alex & Kate were phenomenal to work with! They made me feel like a princess from my trial to wedding day. They were both so accommodating, patient and helpful when it came time to narrowing down styles and looks. Alex took my vision of a natura...
l makeup look and exceeded my expectations! Kate helped me take two hairstyles to create magical fairytale waves and braids. I can’t say enough good things about working with both Alex & Kate!
Amazing and professional!
I used Bridal by Alexandria for my hair and makeup services on my wedding day. Jacqueline and Sarah were so responsive and helpful when I first reached out for my initial booking. They were very flexible when I needed to postpone my wedding due...
to COVID. I worked with Merita (hair) and Jordan (makeup) for the big day and they were absolutely amazing. They are so warm & friendly which I definitely needed as I was super nervous. All of my wedding party and family who received hair and makeup were impressed with them and we all looked amazing. I never wear makeup at all and a natural look was very important to me on my wedding day. Jordan hit the mark and made me look like a queen! Merita was so flexible and open and I really appreciated her expert's opinion as she wanted to make sure that I looked my best on the big day. They each got through 11 ladies within the span of 4 hours all on their own. She's amazing! So thankful for Bridal By Alexandria, Merita and Jordan!
Working with this beauty team was so easy and amazing. We had to shift our dates and needs multiple times due to COVID, and it was so simple, and Jaqueline and the team were so supportive and adaptive. I had a large bridal group and asked a lot...
of questions leading up to the day, which were always responded to kindly and thoroughly. We all looked truly beautiful on the wedding day. Each woman's hair and makeup really reflected their personality and best features which is exactly what I had hopes for. We were so happy with everything.
Thank you to Merita (hair) and Kelly (makeup) from Makeup by Alexandria. They provided services for my wedding on 8/20/21 and I, as well as my entire bridal party, were blown away by how amazing they made us all look and feel. They are both kin...
d, personable and truly understand how to listen to their clients and give them the look they want. My hair and makeup were BEAUTIFUL and I couldn’t thank them enough for making me feel so amazing on my wedding day. Thank you again!
The Bridal by Alexandria team was top notch. I had to reschedule because of covid and the team gave me 0 problems about having to change the date. They were super accommodating the entire time. Kelly did makeup and Jennifer did hair. Both Kelly...
and Jennifer listened carefully to what I wanted along with what my mom, MOG, and bridesmaids wanted. They were so easy to work with and took their time not rushed. Alexandria also have me tips to help heal acne before the wedding and I went to her Zen Den in Beacon. It worked wonders to help clear old scars and made me feel more confident for my special day. I couldn’t recommend BBA team more!
I had a wonderful experience with Merita, Corey, and Dhara from Bridal by Alexandria! From the beginning, I was impressed by the team's organization; after my first e-mail, I quickly received information from the bridal manager Jacqueline about...
pricing and which artists would be available for my wedding. Booking my hair and makeup trial, as well as confirming the day-of timeline, was just as easy. I loved my hair and makeup from the trial, and it looked even better the day of my wedding! The hair done by Merita held all day. In both the trial and the day-of, I was amazed by Corey's work; as a bride with sensitive skin whose eyes often become irritated with makeup, the makeup lasted all day, and the lashes looked natural and did not cause any irritation. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law were also thrilled with their hair and makeup. All hair and makeup was finished in time for first look and bridal party photos. Highly recommend!
I worked with Kate for a small wedding ceremony in July on what was our originally planned wedding day. I not only enjoyed her presence on the day so much but I LOVED my hair! I never do anything to my hair and am very bad at conceptualizing wh...
at I want because I always feel like the reality is so different, but Kate hit it out of the part. It was beyonddddddd and exactly what I was looking for! She knew how to verbalize and explain the look immediately and was so kind when it came to walking me through the process of everything, both the day of and before when it came to buying extensions, etc. Book her immediately if you can!!
Alex and Merita did an incredible job with the hair & makeup at my recent micro-wedding. They've been flexible and professional throughout the whole process, even with ever-evolving COVID restrictions. They worked with me at the trial to come u...
p with a look that I loved, and were happy to make adjustments on the day-of. Both hair and makeup looked natural (yet popped in the photos) and stayed all day. I highly recommend their team to anyone looking for hair & makeup services at their wedding!
Over the years, I've had my hair and makeup done many times, but nothing comes close to the experience I had with Kelly and Merita. Not only did they create the look of my dreams -- which lasted ALL night -- but also they are two of the sweetes...
t, most fun people you'll ever meet. I felt like I was getting ready with my very talented girlfriends... which is exactly what a 2020 bride needs. Thanks for making my day so beautiful and my getting ready so enjoyable.
Choosing Bridal by Alexandria for my hair and makeup needs on my wedding day was the best choice. Picking a hair and makeup stylist for the biggest day of my life was so stressful, but honestly Kelly and Merita BLEW ME AWAY! They are so talente...

I used Bridal by Alexandria’s make-up artist service for my wedding and couldn’t have been happier! Our make-up artist - Kelly - was fabulous!! I first met Kelly at the make-up trial, along with my mom and mother-in-law, which was such a fun ex...
perience. Kelly is professional and welcoming, and quickly got to know each of our styles. Taking notes from our conversation and applying her own expertise she created styles that we individually loved. The trial experience set us up for success and gave us peace of mind that we were in great hands for the wedding.
The morning of, Kelly arrived promptly and within 5 hours had completed the look for 9 ladies, including myself, my bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law and aunts. Each gal’s style slightly differed to best accentuate the persona, while still all complementing the group. The looks were natural and lasted the entire day - starting at 7:30AM, withstanding outdoor ceremony and hours of dancing into the wee hours of the next morning.
The entire experience working with Kelly with joyous, and the process with the salon was seamless. Bridal by Alexandria provided a packet of rich information, detailing services offered, pricing, etc. Everything was thought through for me and executed flawlessly. I highly recommend their services!!
Alex and Kate were a dream team, both in the planning and execution of my wedding look! Both ladies helped me, my bridesmaids, and the moms to look and feel our best on my wedding day. Alex and Kate are great about listening to ideas about the ...
look that you're going for and then making that happen while customizing everything to help you look your best. I trusted them completely, and that's important on one of the most stressful days of your life! Both Alex and Kate were so lovely to spend time with and really helped everyone feel comfortable and ready for the long day. If you're looking for the best hair and makeup team around, look no further!
Alexandria and Kate did exactly what I wanted for my hair and make-up. They were flexible on the day, happy to make things easier instead of harder in whatever ways they could. I was totally swept away all day and couldn't really stop and focus...
on the details that I had thought so much about once the day came, but I didn't have to worry about that as long as they were on my team.
I was very worried about finding someone I could trust with my hair and make up on my special day but I am so glad I went with Alex and Kate for my glam team! The team was so professional and so skillful my worries went away once I saw how con...
fident they were and instantly understood my vision! They made me feel like the most Beautiful Bride in the world! I 1000% recommended BridalbyAlexandria.
I could not have been more happy with Alex, who did my makeup for my wedding in NYC. I'm super picky about getting my makeup done - it often feels like way too much and I don't feel like myself - but she did such a perfect job, it felt very nat...
ural and also photographed beautifully.
Alex and her team were super professional, from email communication to the trial to the day-of. All around great experience and I highly recommend!
I used Bridal by Alexandria for our wedding on 7/27/19 in the Catskills at Glen Falls House and they were absolutely amazing! We worked with Jennifer (hair) and Corey (makeup). I completed a trial with both of them a few months prior to the wed...
ding and left super pleased with the results. They even helped me make a makeshift flower for my hair to test out placement. After obsessing over photos of the trial makeup/hair, I requested a few adjustments (looser curls, brighter lip/cheek color) and they accommodated those requests perfectly! They were super fun to have around the day of the wedding - my family and friends raved about them (as people and about their work). They were the perfect amount of chatty to loosen up our nerves and kept us totally on schedule (with 6+ women getting hair/makeup done, which is no easy feat). Corey even threw in the lip color he used so I could do touch-ups throughout the night (which I still use!). And their rates were so affordable! I could not recommend them both more highly. Five stars!
SO GLAD I hired Alexandria's beauty team for my wedding. Everybody was so communicative and easy to work with - Jacqueline made sure everything was organized and scheduled and Corey (makeup) and Jenny (hair) were both so fantastic. They were ea...
sy to get in touch with to schedule my trial and were amazing day of as they listened to what everybody wanted, made sure everyone was comfortable and that we were all ready on time! Everybody's hair and makeup lasted the entire night and looked perfect and exactly as everybody wanted.
Hire these beautiful people!
I worked with Corey for make-up and Jenny for hair and they were both so amazing!! Everyone looked beautiful and they made sure everyone felt comfortable with their hair and make-up. I did the trial a few months before my wedding and they both ...
remembered exactly what I wanted on the day of the wedding. Jenny and Corey are amazing and I got so many compliments!!
My husband and I got married at Lion Rock Farm in Sharon, CT on June 15, 2019. We had an absolutely fairytale wedding weekend, but that wouldn't have been possible without Jenny making my bridesmaids and I look and feel incredible!! When I met...
Jenny, we instantly connected! She is so sweet and has a such a refreshing personality. I knew I picked the right person to do my hair on my big day. I showed her a few pictures of what I had in mind and I let her create. She gave me exactly what I was looking for. It was perfection and I felt gorgeous. The entire process start to finish working with Jenny was so effortless. The day of my wedding, she made my bridesmaids and I look so beautiful! I will be forever grateful that I was able to work with Jenny and recommend her to any beauty looking for someone with incredible talent and a personality that will start your big day off with the best energy and vibe! She will not disappoint!! Thank you Jenny for helping to make my day magic and taking such good care of my girls and I! Lots of love for you!
Bridal by Alexandria did a fantastic job! I had Merita for hair and Kelly for makeup. I loved what they did for me, but they also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. They work quickly and efficiently, and were ex...
tremely accommodating to the needs of each person.
Merita was truly wonderful - setting up two trials to make sure I felt completely comfortable with my bridal hairstyle. And she even taught me about my hair and gave me tips for how to work with it on my own!
I worked with Kate for hair and Kelly for makeup for my wedding day, and cannot say enough good things about the experience! Not only did all my girls and the moms look absolutely beautiful, but Kate and Kelly were a delight to work with and br...
ought tons of positivity to what could have been a high-stress morning. In addition, the team was easy to communicate with. Jacqueline, their team manager, always responded quickly and they were accommodating with late requests to add people to the group for makeup, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!!
So hair and makeup were probably top 2 important aspects of my wedding day [don't tell my husband :)]; and Bridal by Alexandria (Alex-makeup & Jenny-hair) killed it!!!! They are so kind, so fun and make the morning getting ready a great experie...
nce! My vision for total glam was executed perfectly!!! Others who wanted a more natural look were also catered to perfectly! They can do it all and I am so glad they were there to perfect my look on such a special day!! Oh and the makeup photographed PERFECTLY which is so important!!!! Thank you ladies!!!!!

stylist, Merita, was fantastic! She was very personable, supportive, and efficient on the day of my wedding. She put me at ease when it came to coming up with a style for my curly hair, and I loved how my hair looked! Thank you Merita, Jacqueline, and the Bridal by Alexandria team :)
I can't thank Alex (makeup) and Jenny (hair) enough for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I don't wear a ton of makeup, but when I do, I'm very particular about my products and their application. Alex and her team were extremely profe...
ssional from my first inquiry up until their completed services on my wedding day. They knocked it out of the park with makeup and hair services for my 4 bridesmaids and family! Most importantly, they *listened* to what we wanted in order to make us all feel the most comfortable and beautiful versions of ourselves. Also, they're the sweetest, most down-to-earth ladies who will put you at ease before you walk down the aisle. I couldn't have asked for anything more from them. Thank you, Alex and team!
I got married 6/22 at Meadow Ridge on Hudson and could not have been happier with Bridal by Alexandria. Alex did makeup and Kate did hair for myself + 11 others. The entire process was completely seamless and stress free. They are both SO incre...
dible at what they do and brought the best energy on the day of. They are such awesome people and insanely talented- I feel so lucky that I booked them for my wedding day. I would recommend them to anyone!
Bridal by Alexandria is the best there is. Looking flawless on your wedding day is something every bride wants and finding the right team to help you achieve that is such an important part in planning the wedding. With that being said, look no ...
further because this really is the best team out there! Everyone is SO responsive, friendly, and professional. When I met Cory (who did my makeup) and Jenny (who did my hair) on my trial day I was completely blown away. Not only did they do an amazing job and make me look better than I ever imagined, they were SO much fun and so kind! They really made the morning of my wedding such a positive experience for my girls and I. I am so appreciative of all of their hard work and dedication in helping me and my bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day!
Also, while a natural bride is absolutely gorgeous, it’s not what I was looking for and they were very much able to deliver on full glam!! Cory made sure we all had stunning full face makeup with the lashes and all! We kept saying how we’ve never looked so beautiful before! 😍
I highly recommend choosing bridal by Alexandria for all of your beauty needs on your big day!
Thank you all again SO much! I will forever appreciate your hard work!
With love,
Mary McAleavy-Graziano
I had Kate for hair and Corey for makeup and me and my girls could not have been happier! Everything looked wonderful all day and night. They were a dream to work with and took my vision to life. I am so lucky to have had you be a part of my we...
dding day :)
Alexandria is amazing. My and all my bridesmaids make up came out incredible. She knows how to make you look beautiful without looking like you are wearing a ton of make up. She was super easy to communicate with and worked with my hair dresser...
to do both trials at her home studio! I would absolutely use her again for any events I have.
I emailed back and forth with Jacqueline and she was very responsive. Merita and Kelly were amazing. During my trial we went over a down and updo since my wedding was on July and I wasn’t sure with the weather. Both options were perfect so I di...
dn’t have to worry either way. I have thin hair and Merita is literally a magician when it comes to hair. I wore my hair half up half down and it looked like I had so much more hair. She made all of my girls have the prettiest hair. I highly recommend her! Myself and two of my girls never wear makeup. Kelly did a perfect job with the natural look. She made us all look amazing. So many guests told me how amazing our hair and makeup looked. They are both a pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you for everything!!
Alex and I hit off from day 1! She got me right away and knew what would work best for me . She does not have a heavy hand which was much appreciated by myself and everyone else in my party. 8 of us got our makeup done and we were all thrilled ...
. Alex is really personable and easy to get along with . I will definitely be using new her for future events :)
Alex and Kate came highly recommended from our venue and they were truly incredible! They really listened and created the image I wanted (natural with a touch of glam), and all my bridesmaids and family loved their services as well. I recommend...
doing a trial run with whomever you'll hire for the big day, as it was really helpful for me to figure out what style/look I wanted. We also booked some of their assistants so it would go faster (a.k.a so we could have a later start). Thanks ladies!!!
Alex and her team are amazing!! Alex is a top quality makeup artist and has worked with countless high profile clients/celebrities. You would not know this by meeting her- she is SO down to earth and real. Her team is amazing (yes Corey, we lov...
e you!) and they were so much fun as they got us ready for the wedding. Alex truly listens to what you want and creates the perfect look, she is so knowledgeable and skilled. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and my girls couldn’t say enough about the looks her and Corey created. They can do high glam, subtle, natural, and even did my old (but fabulous) grandmothers! Alex and Corey- thank you so much for glamming us up and making us feel so confident. You guys are the best!
You will NOT be disappointed in your experience with Bridal by Alexandria. She was so patient with us. Jaqueline, the coordinator, was so responsive and helpful throughout the process start to finish. Let yourself be pampered by true, talented makeup artists!
Id like to start out with the fact that I do not wear makeup and I know im not the only one out there, but I legit just started using chapstick about a year ago. So picking a makeup artist that would make me feel comfortable was really importan...
t to me. Ive also had the same hair stylist doing my hair since I was 10 years old and I knew she couldn’t make the trip up to our Catskill wedding so trusting someone else was also really important to me....
I stumbled upon Bridal by Alexandria through some research and feel so incredibly lucky to have had Alex and Kate on my wedding day. My trial with both of them was AWESOME, they are both so easy to get along with and made me feel like I’ve known them forever!
Kate ended up making my hair look even better than I ever envisioned and all I showed her was one picture of what I wanted, she worked with me and threw in her own opinions and I loved everything about it!
Alex was awesome, I put my complete trust in her talent and she made me feel amazing and like myself all at the same time. She doesnt have a heavy hand whatsoever and I felt SO comfortable in the amount of makeup she used. LOVED IT.
All of my family and bridal crew loved Alex and Kate, as well. They just kept saying how genuinely nice they both were!
Id choose them one million times over again and am so grateful for their presence on my wedding day!!!
BONUS: their coordinator Jacqueline is seriously on top of her stuff. She was always quick to respond and super helpful!
These women are masterful! We had Kate and Meg work with us and it was truly a dream. They helped to make my girls and I look even more amazing than I could have imagined. Please do yourself a favor and book these talented women.
I would recommend Bridal by Alexandria for your special day. Emma & Merita with their assistants Samantha & Angelica did so much great work making the mothers, bridal party and myself look and feel beautiful. Emma did a wonderful job making my ...
makeup look natural and it looked great in photos. Merita is extremely talented at making beautiful hairstyles that last for the whole event. I had thought the hairstyle I wanted may have been too complicated to do, but she did it with no trouble at all. The only negatives I would say is that it was kind of hard to communicate and book them before the event. We had more than a couple of days with no response. I would also recommend having simpler forms to fill out, where the client doesn't have to do the math and fill out all the price totals. But overall, the negatives pale in comparison to their work.
The absolute BEST makeup artist and hair team in the tri-state area. There is no one more hardworking, genuine, and talented than Alex Gilleo! She is the most diligent person that is just so centered as a person and an absolute delight to work ...
with. Her talent is unprecedented. In addition to the great service Alex provided to my girls and me, she also came in the clutch last minute for me. I had decided that the number of hair people I'd booked (not from Alex's team) would not suffice, so I asked Alex to bring in backup from her team. She happily included Merita in our conversation, who was SO sweet, kind, and accommodating on such short notice. Not to mention, she did some of the best (and most complicated) hair styles for my ladies!! I did have to book Alex and team very far in advance (almost two years, I think) but it was SO worth it and if you have the chance to work with Alexandria and her team, do NOT hesitate. Book now!! <3 you Alex!!
Alex is simply amazing and no one else like her in the area. Planning a wedding in 11 months, I knew I had to act fast to get the vendor team I wanted. When I found out Alex had our date opened, I booked her immediately - without event having a...
trial planned! I knew I wanted her! Her personality is captivating and just makes you feel good - both and my trial and on my wedding day, I felt calm and relaxed.
Her makeup style is EXACTLY what I envisioned - less is more; simple. I wanted to look myself; natural yet glowing and she did just that. My girls and mother looked amazing as well!
She was such a blessing to work with and would hire her again for another formal affair!
Alex was so great and I highly recommend her for bridal makeup! I had some changes I wanted to make after my trial (I wanted to look more natural) and she listened to me and executed them flawlessly the day of my wedding. I loved my makeup and ...
my bridesmaids and MOH/MOG were also extremely happy with theirs! Leading up to my wedding I also paid for her digital skin appointment and it made such a difference for me. I LOVE my skin care routine and now have cleansing and makeup products that are right for my specific complexion and that I'll be using from now on!
Bridal by Alexandria was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I had struggled to find a talented team for both hair and makeup that would travel to my venue and for a reasonable price. I had spent countless time and money on tri...
als, but was never totally satisfied. When I met with Alex and Jenny for my trial, the vibe was immediately different. They have a happy, calming effect and were able to easily interpret my expectations and translate them into exactly what I had envisioned. The planning process was well organized, and they were very responsive to my questions and flexible with any changes that I made leading up to the wedding. Prior to, they provided me with a detailed timeline and schedule for the day so that we would know what to expect. On the wedding day, Alex and Jenny tackled a large bridal party - 1 bride, 9 bridesmaids, 3 flower girls and 2 mothers - without breaking a sweat. They were cool, calm and collected, which allowed the bridal party to enjoy the morning getting ready together. Even better, each member of my party who received services was so happy with their end results. Jenny perfectly executed my effortless up-do, and Alex made me feel like a more enhanced and beautiful version of myself with her makeup skill. It was the most magical day, and they were a big reason why!
Meg and Katie did the make up and hair for my bridal party and they did an amazing job! They are professional, flexible and their work is amazing. I received so many compliments on my hair and make up! All of the girls were so happy with their ...
final looks. We had the most gorgeous bridal party ever! Thank you so much Katie and Meg, you both did an amazing job! If I ever need make up or hair done again, I know who I am calling! You will not regret booking Alexandria Gillo, her girls are amazing!
Alex provided make-up for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother/mom. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. She has a wonderful eye for color, respectfully listens to your requests, and mo...
ves throughout the getting-ready period of the day with a calm, collected stress-free attitude. She was on time and ahead of schedule. Our makeup looked great all night long with hardly a touchup. I can’t recommend Alex enough, she is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does. If you’re thinking of booking Alex, act quick before she gets booked up!
Alex came highly recommended to me and met and exceeded all expectations. From first contact through the wedding day she was extremely responsive to all my crazy bride questions and concerns. I booked Alex right away, even without my trial firs...
t because I was so comfortable with her even through just emails. When my trial came, she took all my inspiration photos and made me look beautiful. She even did small tweaks to compare to make sure I had the exact look I wanted for my big day. She helped me with my skin care so I would have a perfect glow on my day. On the day of, Alex and her assistant took care of my entire group of girls. There was 13 of us total and I was amazed at how fast everyone was ready. Alex & her assistant were amazing. My girls ranged from never wearing make up before to wanting full glam and we all looked beautiful. Even through a hot June day outside, everyone's make up lasted all day, looking just as amazing at the end of the night as when we first got ready. I would highly recommend Alex & her team for anyone's special day!
I worked with Alexandria's team for my wedding - Kate for hair and Meg for makeup. Both of them were spectacular. They did an amazing job of listening to what each woman wanted (everyone could pick their own style), and really adjusting to make...
sure each person felt confident and beautiful. They were also just a ton of fun to be around - we were blasting pitch perfect and my dog was rocking a suit - and they were so down for it! With 12 women including the Mom's, I expected to be running late, but we someone were AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. I also still looked like a human at the end of the night after so much dancing. Hire this team - they will make you feel beautiful while still feeling like yourself. Thanks Kate and Meg!
I think one of the best decisions I made for our wedding was hiring Alex and her team (we had Jenny for hair!) to do my bridal party's hair and make up. At my trial Alex was full of advice on tips to get my skin glowing and looking its best fo...
r the big day, and after she sent me THEE most useful link of products to buy to have on hand that morning! It was really like having my own personal beauty consultant. Jenny was wonderful with our hair - I completely changed what I wanted to do from the trial to the day of and she didn't miss a beat! All of my girls felt beautiful the day of, I can't stress enough how much I recommend Alex and her team!!
I would recommend Alex to any bride looking for a make up artist who will help you and your bridesmaids look and feel beautiful in a natural way! She does the best job at personalizing your make up to what you are used to and uses quality produ...
cts that last the whole day and night! She is absolutely amazing!
I am so happy that I hired Bridal by Alexandria for my wedding day hair and make-up. I worked with Meg Coleman for makeup and Kate Hargarves for hair, and they are both incredibly talented, professional, and generally a joy to be around! During...
my trial, they provided lots of great tips on prepping my skin and hair, and created a look that was totally in line with my vision (I usually wear little to no makeup and they created a beautiful, glowing natural look). On my wedding day, they did a phenomenal job not only on my hair and makeup but also for my mom, sister, and friends. I felt and looked amazing, and would hire them again in a heartbeat!
We were a two bride wedding so we had a ton of hair and makeup that needed to be done. What I liked about Alex is she came to us and had a hair team as well so we didn’t have to hire a separate person or go to a salon. At our trials Alex even g...
ave us some great advice to help our skin before the wedding. Alex is great at the natural look which is what we wanted as we don’t wear a lot of makeup. On the wedding day Alex and Katie Kelly arrived on time. We ended up finishing earlier than expected and Katie stayed until the end time we had planned on and we really appreciated those touch ups. I will say I was disappointed that Alex didn’t do the same nor did she give me the option to come by the other room and have a quick touch up as I was the other bride and had makeup done first. I’d just suggest you plan that out with her in advance if you want a touch up. I mistakenly assumed I would get one as one of the brides since I had my makeup done hours before. I would have happily came to her so she didn’t have to move her stuff again. With that being said, Alex does amazing work that stayed on perfectly. I sweat a lot and didn’t look like a hot mess.
I felt so at ease on the day of my wedding knowing that I had the best makeup artist, Alex to make me look beautiful. She was on time, professional, and so kind. I gave her free rage on my face because that’s how much I trust her talent!! Truly...
so grateful I was able to have Alex on my wedding day! I would recommend her services a million times!
One of the best choices I made for our wedding was contacting Alexandria to do my makeup. She also put me in touch with my hairstylist, Kate Hargraves, who was just as fabulous. Alex was professional but easy going and handled my bridal party...
of 8 with ease. She made sure that the wedding party looked glamorous but still natural, which was something I had emphasized. She is clearly a pro at what she does. Plus, she was so easy to work with and fun to be around! Couldn't recommend her more highly!
Alexandria Gilleo did my makeup and Katie Hargraves did my hair for my wedding in January 2018 and they were such a dream team! They completely understood my vision and aesthetic for the big day and were consummate professionals. All of my brid...
e’s ladies and my mother also had they’re hair done and looked stunning. They were also very fast working, detailed, and made sure everyone felt beautiful and like themselves. If I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely book with Alexandria and her team. They’re the best!
Alexandria is fantastic. She immediately understood the minimalist aesthetic I was going for - she has a gift for making everyone look themselves, but at their best! It was also a pleasure to be with her on the day of the wedding: she has a low...
-key, easygoing, and confident energy. We all loved her.
Alexandria and her team are amazing! I cannot say enough how beautiful everyone's hair and makeup was that day and it stayed in place and intact all day and night without feeling like we were weighed down or shellacked in makeup and hairspray. ...
Everyone in our party asked Alex what she would do and do not regret it! She brought out our best features and really made us feel so beautiful.
Alexandria and Kate made me feel like a beautiful goddess on my wedding day! They emulated what i wanted perfectly. I absolutely loved working with them. They made me and my girls so comfortable. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and could ...
not be more happy i chose bridal by Alexandria!! xo
Meg Rianne, who works with Alexandria Gilleo, is AMAZING! Meg did the makeup for myself and my bridal party on my wedding October 15, 2017. Meg was incredibly warm, kind, friendly, and professional during the entire process. When I met Meg at ...
the trial, I felt like we clicked right away! She assisted me with figuring out how much time we needed for each bridesmaid, and everything was timed perfectly. During the wedding trial, I let Meg know I preferred a natural look, and she absolutely nailed it at the trial. The wedding day went so smoothly, and I was able to unwind and have fun during the getting ready process. I never felt more beautiful on my wedding day, and that my natural beauty was enhanced. I did not feel overdone whatsoever. I could not have been more thrilled with my wedding makeup, and am so grateful to Meg for making me feel gorgeous and timeless on my wedding day!
Make up by Alex was flawless and our hair by kate was amazing. So easy to work with, Highly recommend them!! Thank you so much!
Alexandria and her team are amazing. When we first met for my hair and makeup trial, they made me feel so comfortable and really listened to my ideas. The day of the wedding they worked fast and made everyone in my wedding party look stellar. I...
wish I could have Alexandria do my makeup on a daily basis! If you want to look amazing on your wedding day I HIGHLY recommend using Alexandria's services.
I seriously have no words to describe the amazing job Alexandria did on my wedding day but I sure will try. Alex is such an amazing makeup artist, she made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day and did such a beautiful job! I love the natura...
l but beautiful look and Alex nailed it. My bridesmaids were all so thrilled with their makeup and I literally have never felt more beautiful. I highly recommend Alex not only for her professional skills but also because she is such a wonderful person who will make you feel so special through the whole process!
I have to admit, I procrastinated looking for a makeup artist for my wedding day. Probably a big NO! But I was nervous because I was one of those people that just knew how I liked my makeup. I didn't trust many others to do it for me. I had gon...
e to someone before Alex, and I was horrified with how my trial turned out. I looked 10 years older! At that point I was discouraged, but wanted to try one more consultation before I decided to just do it myself. Thank goodness I did!! I found Alex online and she was so professional. That was a huge plus to me. When you communicate with vendors, sometimes you get a few that make you feel like you're bothering them! This was totally not the case with Alex! I was able to get pricing and a consult set up with ease. When I sat down for my consult, I felt like I was with a friend! She was so laid back and I was able to explain exactly what I wanted without feeling like I was too picky ;) She gave me the right amount of feedback and before I even looked in the mirror, I knew I wanted to book her for my wedding day! I also didn't have anyone for hair and Alex had someone she works with, Katie Hargraves, come to the consult that day as well!
On my wedding day, I felt like a million bucks! She glammed me up and it lasted all day long! I wanted a fresh face with my lashes being the focus. She did just that :) Katie finished up my bridal hair and I felt like royalty. The best part about the whole thing, they travel to you! I didn't have to stress about going somewhere and getting back on time. Alex and Katie made me feel amazing and that's so important on your wedding day. There are so many pictures taken on your wedding day and if you don't feel amazing, it could be miserable! I highly recommend Alex, and Katie. <3
I got married this past weekend and Alexandria and Kate did an amazing job with hair and makeup for the entire bridal party! Everyone looked so beautiful and our hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire day and night, even in 95 ...
degree weather. They're also really friendly, fun, and amazingly efficient - all 8 of us were ready in under 3 hours and they're the kind of people you want to have around as you're getting ready on your big day. If you are looking for the best of the best, look no further and book Alexandria and Kate ASAP!! :-)
I used Alexandria for my wedding at Yonkers NY on June 30, 2017. From the first email to trial to the big day, Alexandria was amazing. She is quick to respond to emails, so pleasant and professional. She perfectly executed all the different loo...
ks I wanted for me, my bridal party and my mom, without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend using her and her people in NY or CT.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
It's taken me way too long to write such a well-deserved review, but Alex was fantastic. We were married in May and I am so happy that I trusted her with such an important role. She took her time with each of the women in my...
bridal - she is a perfectionist and cares deeply about her work. We had a great time with her and Kate (who did all of our hair and helped make us flawless for the big day).
Alex and Kate were so much fun to spend the day with. My trial with them was an absolute breeze. I was able to schedule my trial for just before our engagement photo shoot - and I was THRILLED with the final look.
Our make-up was perfect and lasted all day. Some of us got ready as early as 9am - and our look remained throughout the night, even into the after party hours! She will make you look your absolute best without
being heavy handed or overly done-up. We all felt comfortable and like the best versions of ourselves. I wish she could do my make-up everyday, or that I lived close enough to use her services on the weekends.
My flower girl was so excited to get her make-up done - she stayed close to Alex and asked tons of questions , and Alex was a DOLL - patient and sweet!
She is high-skilled, a true professional and has a great passion for what she does. She is a lovely person and you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Alex!!
xoxox
Alexandria does fantastic work! I would highly recommend adding her to your wedding day prep. She was extremely accomodating with traveling to all us girls to help us get ready for my big day. Makeup was perfect. She did a great job on making u...
s all look flawless! We were all so happy having her help us get ready!
Alex did my makeup for my wedding on 5.28.17. She did an incredible job on everyone, from my bridesmaids to my grandmothers. I've never looked or felt better in my life! I never wear a lot of makeup, and even my groom who was very nervous about...
me looking too overdone commented on how perfect it turned out. On top of that, Alex is super sweet and professional, and her pricing is totally reasonable, especially considering how talented she is. Alex arrived ahead of schedule and finished everyone's makeup ahead of schedule. Highly recommend!!
I have never worked with someone more professional, kind, and talented then Alex. Not only did she make me feel like a true princess on my wedding day but she made me look like one. Every girl dreams of looking like a million bucks on their wed...
ding and I truly truly have never felt more gorgeous in my entire life then I did on my wedding day because of how amazing alex did my make up! She has the most loving personality and she truly felt like part of my family on my wedding day. She kept me calm the entire day and made not only me look fabulous but also all my bridesmaids! I still get compliments to this day about how awesome my makeup and girls make up looked. Alex was so amazing that I am even having her do my make up for a wedding I am a guest at! I would use her to do my make up everyday if I could! She arrived early and ready to go and did not leave my hotel room until every single girl was touched up and looking picture perfect! I highly recommend alex to do your make up for your weddinng you won't find anyone more professional, talented, and as kind as Alex. I would rate her at 100 stars if I could, best make up artist ever!!!!!!!!
I hate to write a negative review for Alexandria because she was such a nice girl and she is EXTREMELY talented in doing makeup, however, one of the main qualities that I was looking for in wedding vendors was reliability.
A wedding day is ver...
y chaotic and she caused a lot of additional stress for me by cancelling the night before due to personal reasons. I do understand that things come up and I am generally a reasonable person, but she had the hair stylist call me the night before my wedding to tell me that she would not be able to do my wedding party's makeup and that a "qualified person" would replace her. There were two girls who showed up the day of the wedding and they were far from qualified. One of the girls was still in high school and clearly did not have a license to do makeup. My bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom looked absolutely ridiculous the day of the wedding (they used white foundation on some of the girls who had olive skin tone and everyone had black eye shadow to the point where they looked scary). They had to wipe off their makeup and there were a lot of tears caused by the entire process. Alexandria still came to do my makeup, which turned out absolutely beautiful (which is why I hate writing this negative review, because she did amazing work). She also attempted to fix a couple of girls' makeup, but she could not get to everyone. Despite these issues, there was no price concession for the fact that high school students showed up to do everyone else's makeup, and I felt that as part of running a business she should have honored her commitment and stayed to do everyone's makeup to avoid this issue.
Response from the Vendor on 06/05/2017
Hi Laura;
I will apologize again for the inconvenience which occurred. I want to highlight that I never cancelled your wedding, as this review seems a bit misleading. You always had your bridal makeup secured and I’m happy that you were very pl...
eased with your bridal look. In the event of a personal emergency (a devestating and unexpected emergency which I shared with you) it states in the contract that there will be a back up plan and an artist provided. The artist I provided is a Salon owner in Westchester, NY. She is a licensed artist and stylist who certainly is not in high school and was kind enough to cancel her day to help me with your bridesmaids last minute so I could be with my family during this difficult time. I am very sorry you were not happy with her services on your bridemaids and I will not recommend her to any of my clients going forward. I did show up on time, as promised and contracted, and I did offer my services to others and you insisted that you only wanted me to only do your bridal makeup. I noticed one of the bridesmaids was not happy, so I gladly set up my station in another room and airbrushed 2 bridesmaids and 1 mother (free of charge, airbrushing is an extra service fee) along with offering touch ups to any additional person. I had more than enough time to get to everyone if they wanted a touchup yet every one else said they were happy. As a business owner, I did honor my commitment by showing up for your bridal makeup and offering my services. I also did not charge for the hour of travel time nor for the extra airbrushing. I want to remind you that personal emergencies are out of anyone’s control and I really did the best I could with the handling the unforeseen situation and circumstances that was at hand. You truly looked absolutely beautiful on your wedding day and I want to congratulate you again and wish you all the best. -Alexandria
One of my bridesmaids was so happy with the results that she said "That's it! I'm booking them for life!"
Both, Alex and Katie are so patient, kind, and great listeners. During the trial, they listened to my concerns and wishes, and turned a ...
ton of pinterest pictures into perfection.
Katie is the Queen of braids. The Queen! Alex mixed some magic here and there, and I felt so confident and comfortable during the whole day.
I admire their ability to manage a ton of women getting ready in an apartment with such patience and understanding, and if you've ever been in an apartment full of women getting ready for an event....you know that's a lot to handle.
Alex, Katie, if you're reading this...I LOVE YOU!
THIS GIRL. My makeup was perfect for my wedding and didn't smudge a bit. All my girls looked gorgeous and more importantly, felt gorgeous. Alexandria also has a hair girl, Kate. Kate did my hair as well as most of my bridesmaids. It was a ...
windy wedding day and our hairdos stayed till the end of the night! There's no reason to not book them together...they are a great team and pricing was very reasonable compared to other vendors I researched.
As a girl that doesn't wear makeup, finding a makeup artists for my wedding was challenging, I thought. I wasn't sure what to looks for or even where to start. I had numerous people recommend Alexandria. When I went for my trial I was a ...
bit nervous and didn't know what to except. I would have to say she was welcoming and so down to earth. She chatted with me and made me feel so comfortable. In the end I loved my trial makeup and knew I picked the right makeup artist for my big day. I left the trial and right away called my bridesmaids to let them know not only was Alexandria amazing at makeup but the nicest person I have met and that I was super excited she would be doing all of our makeup. She sat with me to ask what I wanted and gave me the natural look I asked for.
The day of the wedding I was running a bit late and she made me at ease telling me no problem and not to rush. She did my makeup,my moms makeup, and some bridesmaids. Everyone loved the makeup and I received so many compliments. I was beyond pleased with not only her makeup but just her personality and the way she fit right in while all of us girls were getting ready. I have already recommended her to numerous brides and would definitely have her do my makeup for other events in the future.
I cannot even begin to describe how beautiful I felt on my wedding day and I can truly thank Alexandria and Katie for making me look and feel like a glowing bride!! Alexandria and Katie are incredible at what they do. I was looking for a hair ...
and makeup team for quite some time and once I came across Alexandria's website and saw her and Katie's work, I knew I had to have them be our glam squad for my big day. She was very attentive to my concerns, quick to answer any questions/emails and showed up on my wedding day with huge smiles on their faces. Having both Katie and Alexandria there with me and my bridesmaids getting ready felt so comfortable, like they were friends.
I am not usually one who wears a lot of makeup from day to day. I had expressed my concerns to Alexandria about not wanting anything too heavy and she listened to everything I had to say. My hair and makeup lasted the entire night.
It was truly a pleasure working with Alex and Katie from start to finish! They are both extremely professional, caring and beyond talented. I highly recommend hiring them to be your glam squad for your big day...you will NOT be disappointed.
For years I saw all of the beautiful photos of Alex's wonderful work on so many gorgeous brides. I always admired her work ethic and how she was able to enhance a bride's natural beauty. I actually reached out to her right before we got engaged...
and was and still am unbelievably happy that she had my wedding day available. She helped put me at ease and I am so incredibly thankful for the wonderful job she did! My girls looked perfect and my makeup lasted through all of the tears! Thank you Alex, I will always be thankful each and every time I see our wedding photo!!
Alex and her team are second to none! I booked Alex and her team for my wedding this past August at Blooming Hill Farm. Super professional, talented, and really fun to hang out with too! She knew exactly what my girls and I wanted - none of ...
us really wear that much makeup and she was able to make us look super natural and pretty for the big day! I highly recommend booking Alex ASAP!
