Amanda and her team (Casey + Amelia) made me look and feel like a princess. I have never felt more beautiful. Great communication before, the trials were outstanding, and the end result was more than I could've hoped for.

Amanda and her team were a dream to work with, especially as plans were changing quickly for our August 2020 wedding. Even though we just ended up having a small socially distanced ceremony, Amanda made me feel like the natural glam bride of my...
dreams. She made the day special and stress free and brought so much positive energy. We ended up doing the trial just two days before the wedding but everything was perfect. Amanda coached me through what I wanted and delivered 100%. She went above and beyond to keep things safe and sanitized, cleaning brushes and makeup every few seconds and using new product for eyes, lips, etc. She knows what she is doing when it comes to keeping you and her team safe and will give you a gorgeous, natural look that will last all day and night. Did I mention she’s wonderful and hilarious?! Look no further brides, Amanda is it!

or a quote and talked to me about her business and her experience. What caught my attention was that she was also a redhead and knew how to work with my skin type/tone because she did it on a daily basis. She sounded like she knew what she was doing and when I saw her portfolio I knew she was the one. She had a range of brides, bridesmaids, and mothers with all different makeup styles and hair styles and each one of them looked like themselves and timeless. I could tell that each of them loved the way they looked and I was excited to see what Amanda could do with me. At my trial, we worked on a look that I felt confident and beautiful in. On my wedding day, she and her team worked happily and diligently to keep us on schedule. I am glad that I chose Amanda and her team. She made all of my bridesmaids look beautiful and made them feel it too. She was professional and well experienced. Thank you for taking care of us! I’d choose her again in a heartbeat!

e feel amazing. That summer, she came to my apartment in NYC and we had so much fun doing my mom's and my trials for the wedding. Come my wedding day, I knew I didn't even have to THINK about my appearance, and felt so comfortable putting my hair and makeup in Amanda's hands. She is also hilarious and a joy to be around, especially if you are a little stressed as you are getting ready. She executed my vision perfectly of looking natural, but like a "better" version of myself, and making sure it all came through on camera. I will admit, I was skeptical about hiring a hair and makeup team from Florida for my Vermont wedding, but this was hands down one of the best vendor decisions I made. Thank you, Amanda!

From the moment I talked to Amanda Hopcraft on the phone, I felt at ease and comfortable telling her about my vision for my hair and makeup. The makeup trial went perfectly. She took the pictures I took on Pinterest and she made it even better....
Amanda did an amazing job on hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. My hair and makeup stayed in place even with the wind and all the sweating on the dance floor. I loved the airbrushed makeup and the false eyelashes were very natural looking and very comfortable. (The first time I wore false eyelashes was at the trial and I’m glad I decided to try them out! They really made my eyes pop!) I just felt so relaxed and at ease with Amanda doing my hair and makeup. She made the getting ready process so relaxing and fun. She was on time and kept us on schedule. I highly recommend Amanda!

new what she was doing and had gone through this a million times. A large team that was ready to work and be there for me the day of. They were incredible! During our trial run, she explained and answered all of my questions and we practiced and talked about the things we needed to fix on the day of. When my wedding day rolled around, she remembered and it couldn't have been easier! She 100% took her time to make sure I was happy. She even happily spoke to my bridesmaids and everything worked beautifully. I definitely recommend her! I think what matters more than just being able to "do her job" was the fact that she could tell me common dos and donts, what to expect, and really understood the time crunch. I loved her! 100% wouldn't have traded her on my special day. Thank you tons Amanda!

Amanda is truly a master of her craft. She did my hair and makeup for my engagement session, which was also my trial session, and my makeup for myself, three bridesmaids, my mother, and mother in law on my wedding day. I don't wear much makeup ...
on a daily basis (just some eyeliner and if I'm going out, I might do my eyebrows), so I wanted a natural look on my wedding day, but also wanted to look "done up" for the pictures. Amanda did exactly that, while making my skin look flawless. My bridesmaids and both mothers were extremely happy as well. One bridesmaid, who has been in many weddings previously, said Amanda was the best makeup artist of all the weddings. We were so happy with our makeup that we are going to book a makeup class with her! She arrived on time, got everyone in and out of the chair in a timely manner, and our makeup stayed on all night. Book her now for your day before she gets booked!

d off with emails and phone calls to talk about my vision which soon turned into "our vision"- I think she's a mind reader, or maybe just a really good listener :), because she just got it. I live in Philadelphia, but my wedding was in the Adirondacks in upstate New York. Working around our schedules, Amanda was able to make a trip to Philly, not once, but twice for my hair and makeup trials. I had changed my mind about my wedding dress (which would mean a new hairstyle, too) and I texted Amanda right away. She didn't even hesitate and we set up another time for her to come visit for a second trial. Amanda did my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner, too. A fun ponytail with soft makeup to reflect our casual evening. It was perfect. The woman can do a killer pony! Then came the wedding. Words cannot express how Amanda made me feel that day. When I look back, getting ready is still one of my favorite memories. Not only did Amanda make me feel like the most beautiful, but natural version of myself, but she made me feel comfortable and calm as we chatted the afternoon away and shared stories of our lives. Amanda did my bridesmaids hair and makeup as well and they couldn't have been more beautiful. She even offered to beautify my mom and mother-in-law who did not originally request any hair or makeup up. To sum my long and mushy review up-I feel SO grateful to have found Amanda who is not only extremely talented in what she does, but an amazing soul, too. THANK YOU!

eup was perfect! Amanda was able to make it look beautiful and I loved the dramatic eye she made. 4. Julia doesn't know how to do anything other than tight updos so if you want a romantic less formed hairstyle hire someone else. She doesn't know how to work with super silky baby fine hair. There was so much product in my hair it weighted it down and gave it the feeling of helmet hair. I precurld my hair to ensure there was enough volume and felt it was a waste with the unnecessary amount of product put into my hair. My hair turned out nothing like the pictures I showed as reference and after having my hair done twice by her, I can say, she didn't understand what I wanted. She was able to create a closer look to what I wanted on my friends hair, who has similar hair type to mine. However, this was not what my friend wanted either. My friend with thick course hair had the best updo so if that's your hair type then go with her. But because they came late there was no time to redo my hair and I'm doubtful a redo could have fixed it. In the end I look at photos people took and my hair looks ok but definitely a major disappointment.

I thought about not leaving a review at all as my experience was not a pleasant one but then I wondered how many other unhappy clients that also did not leave a review. Amanda and her assistant did arrive on time so there were no issues there. ...
The only communication I had with Amanda was on the day she arrived and I had printed a few pictures just in case my phone was not working. My hair nor makeup was anything that I had wanted. They both looked at the pictures too quickly and assumed they knew what I had in mind. I told them that I had save more pictures on my phone and they said they didn't need to see them, they knew what to do. Mind you, if I had extra money, I would have scheduled a hair and makeup trial but seeing that I live an hour and a half from her studio and on a very tight budget, it was not very doable. I also expressed this concern with Amanda and she said that was fine and that most of her clients opt out of the trial before hand and they didn't have any issues. Big mistake. I wanted to look like me, but better. The makeup was NOT me at all. I had expressed my concerns about my makeup to Amanda and she got very quiet and it seemed like I had insulted her. My hair was not what I had asked either and it was pinned half up with so many bobby pins that I couldn't fix it. My hair looked stringy. My pictures look like I had gotten caught in the rain. They didn't even help with placement of my veil and because of all of the pins, we couldn't get the veil in and I didn't get to wear it on my wedding day. They left as quickly as they came. We were now running behind on time and I didn't even get to see my hair until she was already done and there was no time to fix it. I was so devastated. I honestly trusted the reviews that I had read. It wasn't just me. My sisters (and husband) agreed that for $255, they could have done a MUCH better job. I really wish they would have spent just a few more minutes with me discussing what I would have liked. I went ahead with my first look but I was miserable. I knew I couldn't continue on with my wedding looking this way. After our first look, my sisters and I frantically tried to fix it (no luck with the hair, it was pinned down too much) but we were able to wipe off the makeup, put on some eyeliner, fix the eyelashes and lipstick. I didn't tell my family how much I paid for their services because as they were trying to fix my makeup, they kept saying they hoped I didn't pay that much for this. I was devastated but we were able to fix the makeup and it ended up looking so much better. Unfortunately, I was unable to wear the cathedral veil that I brought. And for validation, when I met my husband down at the end of the isle, he looked at me and said "Much better.." he didn't even know we were going to fix it. Now that I had makeup fixed, my hair looks like I got caught in the rain in all of my pro pictures and there is nothing I can do to fix that. I can never redo that day over again. I would have rather had something else go wrong that day than the way I looked.

reat sense of humor that any client would appreciate. On top of her talent as a makeup artist Amanda was similar to having another family member there to help in anyway she could, for example she helped with a last minute sewing fix with my wedding dress. I can’t say enough things about how pleased I was with my makeup and how much Amanda cares for her clients. I highly recommend her!

OMG they were amazing, like my mom and I almost cried bc we were to revealed and happy and it just got even better the day of my wedding. They are all sweet and nice and squeeze you in and have amazing quality/output too. I couldn't have asked for anything more! AMAZING!

Y'all. Stop looking for a makeup artist and hire Amanda right. now. The events leading up to my wedding were a total disaster, including a botched spray tan from a fancy spa in Ponte Vedra which I will not name here. I went to my hair/makeup tr...
ial on Friday before my rehearsal. Julia, Amanda's mother-in-law and resident hair stylist, said "honey, you know Amanda does spray tans right?" As soon as Amanda walked in, I showed her my zebra, orange, terrible spray tan. She told me, we can't let you get married like that. So, on Friday night, even though she had house guests, she came to my hotel room at 10pm after my rehearsal dinner to respray me the night before my wedding. And by the next morning, it was PERFECT. And that isn't even talking about her main service--makeup and hair. My makeup was FLAWLESS. I was so worried leading up to my wedding that I wouldn't look like myself, but it was so perfect. Every single one of my girls looked perfect, too--not overdone at all. And Julia with hair--I had envisioned having my hair down and wavy on my wedding day. However, the weather had other plans, and I didn't want to end up with flat hair after being rained on. So we decided at the last minute that we would put it up in a hairstyle that I could take down after the ceremony, and wear it wavy. Without even a pinterest picture to look at, she put it up and it was exactly what I wanted. Not to mention--Amanda and Julia are so funny and personable and awesome to have around on your wedding weekend. Long story short, brides--hire Amanda. Without question. She and Julia are worth every penny!

For our recent October wedding, we used the services of Amanda Hopcraft and her staff. They were highly recommended by the owner of the B & B we had our ceremony at and it's easy to see why. Prior to the wedding, I was able to email Amanda and ...
let her know what we wanted and she always responded promptly and professionally and directed me to her website to see some of her work. For our wedding day, we needed hair and makeup for my small wedding party and the Amanda Hopcraft staff came to us at our venue with all their supplies which contributed to our day being stress free. The first person we met was Angie who did our hair and she was so friendly and pleasant, it was relaxing and fun to get pampered.She did the most amazing up-do's for all 3 of us and incorporated hair combs and pins we had brought with us into the styles. Both my daughters looked absolutely beautiful and I was so pleased that she listened to what we wanted and looked at the pictures we brought with us and gave us feedback on our hair styles for the day. For makeup, Amanda and her sister in law, who is also a makeup artist, came and took care of all of us, including my groom who wanted to look fresh but not over done in our pictures. I LOVED our makeup....all of us looked beautiful and natural without looking overly made up. It was such fun chatting with them and they were friendly and professional. With their help, I was able to relax and enjoy my big day and we all look amazing in our pictures. Amanda even made up 'goodie bags' for all the girls of the products she had used in case we needed touch up during the day. I have wonderful memories of my wedding day and the lovely ladies of Amanda Hopcraft makeup. I would highly recommend her and her staff for your event....money WELL spent!

We used Amanda and her team for hair and makeup (they traveled to our hotel to get us ready) and even finished almost an hour and a half EARLY!!! which left us extra time for photos and other random things that we didn't think we would have time for. Amanda and her team are so friendly, they made you feel so comfortable and like BFFs. They know what will make each girl look incredible, and how to play up the features that are most flattering. I've already recommended her to two other weddings that are happening, and both have hired her because she did such an amazing job with my wedding! Book her early -- this girl is a gem.

diant at the end of the night, so I knew I would need to book a make-up artist. Selecting Amanda Hopcraft and her team was an easy choice. They are true professionals - arriving on time, listening to their clients wishes, and providing services that go above and beyond! We had a large bridal party with about 6 girls doing both hair & make-up and 3 or 4 just doing hair. Amanda, Julia, and Hannah ensured that we were all complete by the time we wanted to start the "getting dressed" photos! We all looked amazing and even through the sweat of pictures (outdoor photos in Florida...in June!!) and the sweat of dancing, we still looked great! Even my mother-in-law opted to have her make-up done & was super nervous (she doesn't wear make-up at all) - but loved how Amanda took that into account and kept the look natural and lovely! Plus, having Amanda & her team in the room while we were getting ready was a delight - great conversations, laughter, and just general happiness for us!

I went for a trial session before my wedding where I met Amanda in person. We had a chance to consult and have her experiment with my makeup to make sure I'd be happy. I suggest strongly that you have a trial session to work through what you want. Amanda is professional, warm, talented and a perfectionist.
