Colleen and Angelina were fantastic to work with. Starting with the trial they ensured our entire bridal party would look fantastic and did a great job. They made the colors match...
everyone perfectly too. They were so accommodating with any last minute changes and making sure everyone was ready on time.
Colleen and Angelina are the absolute BEST. I was so nervous about looking my best on my wedding day. I wish I had known in advance how perfect everything would turn out. It was li...
ke they read my mind. I spent hours looking at photos of hair and make-up styles and could never find exactly what I was looking for. When I looked in the mirror after they had finished their magic, I finally saw what I wanted! I think the relief I felt at that moment was one of the happiest parts of my day :) During the months leading up to the wedding, Colleen and Angelina were both so accommodating. They gave me a second make up trial free of charge (and Angelina drove all the way to where I was staying!) after I wasn't so sure I liked the first one. They did hair and make-up for my Mom and wedding party and everyone was so happy with how they looked. Some of the bridesmaids had had their make-up professionally done in the past and did not like how it turned out. They were skeptical going in but Angelina won them over with her amazing personality and artistic talent. Colleen and the rest of the crew are just as talented and amazing - everyone's hair looked great (especially mine!). I would absolutely choose Boston Ever After again and I am so happy I found them! I don't know how to thank them other than to recommend them to every bride getting married in the Boston area! If you hire them for your special day, you will not be disappointed!
Colleen was wonderful! Very friendly and did a great job--I felt so beautiful the whole day, and my makeup looked (almost) as good at the end of the night after hours of dancing as...
it did for the first photo! Got tons of compliments! Was flexible and tried several styles for the hair trial, and when I couldn't make up my mind, was happy to let me decide the day of the wedding. Also was flexible in letting me add hair and makeup services for other members of the wedding party up until right before the wedding.
Eleven Eleven Elixer is outstanding! Angelina Corrado was the make up artist for my daughters wedding. She was attentive, listened to what I wanted and made suggestions based on my...
preferences. I highly recommend Angie’s skin care and beauty products as well.
Angelina Corrado is the absolute best! She did my makeup for my wedding along with some of the bridesmaids and moms and we looked amazing! A few of us dont wear makeup very often a...
nd have had makeup done professionally before and ended up feeling like we were wearing pounds of it, and even was given that nice orange tint as a bonus.....not with Angelina! Ive honestly never felt more beautiful in my entire life. I didnt feel like I had a ton of makeup on and even better, it didn't look like it. It looked effortless and natural yet beautifully and perfectly enhanced. I would recommend her time and time and time again and will absolutely be calling her myself in the future. She was prompt, very responsive, extremely knowledgable and trustworthy with her expertise, easy to talk to and be around and she's comforting too! Thank you Angie for making me feel like the most beautiful person in the room!
Angie did SUCH an amazing job at my wedding!!! I can't say enough great things about how wonderful she made me feel for our big day.
A little background: I was 3 months pregnant ...
at my wedding and felt very uncomfortable in my skin having gained some unexpected weight. My break-outs were terrible leading up to my wedding and I thought there was no way she would be able to make any improvements with my skin. Angie assured me that she would make me feel beautiful and she was absolutely right. Not only did my make-up look amazing, but I really felt that way too which was even more important for me. She listened to what I wanted and enhanced that to truly make my look perfect for that day. Our pictures came out wonderful as well and I felt very glamorous without feeling over-done. My wedding party loved her work too and I got tons of compliments that day.
I loved her work so much I used her months later for my baby shower and was again so impressed - she is my go-to make up artist!!
I was introduced to this phenomenal team at my best friends wedding this past June. Colleen and Adrienne gave everyone in the bridal party stunning hairdos and gave us all (10 of...
us ladies in total) individualized looks that we wanted that stayed the whole night while we were dancing away!! Angelina and Sherri’s glam makeup gave us life! They made the whole experience an amazing one-it’s hard to get hair not to frizz and makeup not to run on a hot, steamy June afternoon but these rockstars went above and beyond and made it such a fun experience! Would HIGHLY recommend!
Colleen and her team were AMAZING. I've been a part of many weddings, and the hair and makeup is always so stressful. With Colleen, the day was completely relaxed -- everyone got e...
xactly what they wanted, and we were able to relax together for a full 45 minutes before heading to the ceremony. I *loved* the look -- she was able to make even my very fine hair look amazing in an updo!
I would recommend Colleen to literally everyone. She is fantastic.
Colleen Pavia at Boston Ever After is an absolute pro! She not only made sure I looked beautiful (which she did spectacularly) she also kept a very nervous bride calm in the hours ...
leading up to my wedding. She even traveled from the hotel to the venue with us when I was worried about time. The makeup she gave me was flawless (hard with my sensitive and often red skin) and comfortable. And it photographed beautifully. The hair was exactly what I wanted and stayed in place the whole night. And she's just also really really fun to talk to! Couldn't recommend more highly. If you are getting married in the Boston area....seek out Colleen. You won't be sorry!
Colleen and her team were amazing in providing hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids. I first got to know Colleen when she did my makeup for my engagement photos, and found her...
easy going, friendly nature so easy to talk to and be honest about what I was looking for (and ask questions when I wasn't sure!) I knew she'd be perfect for my wedding day! For my wedding, Colleen made sure that my hair and makeup looked amazing and the curls she put in lasted for days which NEVER typically happens with my hair. Her team made everyone, including my anxious mom and an anti-beauty regimen friend feel super comfortable and at the end of the day, beautiful.
Colleen and Angelina did an amazing job with the hair and makeup for my wedding. I initially met them as a bridesmaid for my cousins NYE wedding, where they did a great job glammin...
g us up. Everyone looked so good that I decided to hire them for my own. My wedding was a completely different vibe, taking place at a summer camp, and they were able to capture the more natural look we were going for. It is impressive that they can really roll with the Bride's vision and do a great job for such drastically different events! Our hair and makeup looked great all night, and the touch-up kits the provided were a nice addition. Plus, they are very fun to chat with! I would definitely recommend them!
Colleen and her awesome team did my hair and make up as well as all of my bridesmaids (10 of us in total). I can't say enough good things about them. I was nervous about there bein...
g so many of us that needed to be ready for first look photos in afternoon. They arrived right on time, set up quickly and began right away. I couldn't believe that we were able to stick to our schedule so well! They took their time doing each persons hair and make up based on their individual needs. Everything came out flawless, seriously perfect. I usually don't wear my hair up because my head is sensitive but Colleen did an up-do that didn't bother me at all. Would HIGHLY recommend Boston Ever After to anyone looking for hair and make up artists for their wedding day! :)
Colleen and Angelina were amazing to work with! Colleen was in touch before the wedding if I had any questions. They were very conscious of our schedule and timed everything perfe...
ctly. All of our makeup lasted the whole night!
One of the bridesmaids was afraid to have false lashes and they were so patient with her and made her feel comfortable to have them.
We all wear glasses and were going without glasses for the ceremony. They made sure the makeup would look good with and without glasses and that the eyelashes did not hit the glasses.
They included touch up kits which came in handy!
I was very specific about the lipstick shade I like and Colleen went on the hunt and had 4 or 5 for me to choose from!! So good!!
We all looked fabulous! I can't say enough!!
Colleen and her team were unparalleled in their skill and professionalism! They showed up early, kept all 9 of us on schedule so that we had plenty of time to do hair and makeup wi...
th breaks in between and time to relax and do touch ups before the final moments. They were efficient, extremely clean, friendly and fit right in with all us crazy girls!! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough- I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life. Colleen made all the visions I had in my head of how I wanted to look on my wedding day come true :)
Colleen and her team were amazing! They were professional, friendly, outgoing, punctual, and everything you would want in a beauty team on your special day. My cousin (the bride) l...

Colleen and her team were an awesome start to my cousins wedding day! With quite a large group, we started nice and early and they were able to keep us ahead of schedule. Everyone ...

Angie did the makeup for a bridal party I was in. She listened to what I wanted as I don’t like a lot of makeup typically. I loved my makeup and it looked great in the photos!!
I hired Angie to do my makeup for my very small, intimate wedding and I could not have asked for more!! She was prompt, professional, and so sweet!! It was sweltering for our July ...
wedding and she touched me up throughout so that I didn't have to worry about anything. We did a trial run beforehand as well so that I could choose the colors and the look I wanted and it was everything I pictured!! We even did a facial the week before. Absolute first class!!!
My cousin hired Colleen and her team to do hair and makeup for her very large (15 women) bridal party. Not only were they extremely punctual to start they also kept us moving in ti...
me through the morning to assure that we were all ready in time for the ceremony. Everyone's hair and makeup came out exactly as requested and lasted all day (10+ hours). If you're looking for a stress free wedding morning you should consider going with Colleen.
Colleen and her team are amazing! They traveled out of state to Maine to help us get beautiful for our friend’s big day. They were timely, professional, and knowledgeable! I showed...
Colleen a picture of a hairstyle I liked and she replicated it and it looked even better than the picture! They eased any worries we had about getting ready and had us done with ample time for pre-ceremony pictures! I would highly recommend Colleen and her team to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful on their big day!
Colleen is absolutely incredible! She is so down to Earth and friendly. She makes you feel very comfortable. She did my make up for my wedding as well as my mother's and sisters. S...
he traveled to my house for the big day as well as a couple months prior for a trial run. I am not a make up person at all, a typical day for me is mascara and occasionally I'll do eyeshadow and liner. Colleen is truly an artist with those brushes. My makeup was beautiful, soft, and elegant. I highly recommend Boston Ever After for your wedding makeup needs!!
Colleen and her team are the best! They made us all look so beautiful :) She traveled all the way to Maine for my wedding and was there early to set up. I loved my hair and receive...

l to the wedding day she was there for me with any questions, ideas, and scheduling I had.
Colleen and her team are great! I can't say enough about them. Myself and all of the girls in my wedding party looked beautiful! We were all so happy with our hair and makeup. I had a slight makeup malfunction when my eye would not stop watering! Yes of all days to have watery eyes it had to be my wedding day!!! I was freaking out, and Colleen calmed me down, fixed the problem, and had my eyes perfect again!!! I don't think I could have gotten to the alter without her!! She is the best!!!
I highly recommend Colleen and her team for any bride and her bridal party.
Colleen did my hair for my wedding on June 17, 2017. From the first moment we connected via email to the day of the wedding, she was wonderful to work with and a pleasure to get to...
know. I am so grateful that I found her and Boston Ever After.
At my trial, she came up with the perfect up-do on the first try! She was willing to try other things, but we both agreed that what she had designed perfectly matched my dress, venue, and the day.
We had a non-traditional wedding and had no wedding party. However, Colleen still did hair for other individuals including my Mom(short hair), sister, and aunt (our officiant). Everyone looked amazing and loved their hair.
I can not say enough wonderful things about working with Colleen. She is professional and personable, as well as low-key, down to earth, and approachable. I am so grateful I got to work with her and hope there is an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

was nice to just sit and chat with her while she was doing my hair. She was professional and personable! I can't say enough positive things!
Colleen and her team were awesome! We had a pretty short engagement and no traditional wedding party, and because of it I was having a difficult time finding anyone who was availab...
le or didn't have large minimums that would be impossible to meet without any bridesmaids. Then I found Colleen online, and she promptly replied to me (within a few hours!) and we quickly set up a hair and makeup trial for later that week. Everything was amazing at the trial, she made tweaks to my hair and makeup to make it just as I wanted and took photos so that she had them for my wedding day. She even worked with me to have two planned hair styles to use depending on how hot the day would turn out (one up, one down)! Colleen and her assistant were right on time, set up, and ready for us before we knew it. Colleen focused mainly on myself while her assistant attended to the moms and my two flower girls. They were both great at listening to what everyone wanted and even touching up little things here and there as the morning wore on. My mom is still raving about her hair and makeup and how working with them was such a pleasure. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about Colleen's services, professionalism, and excellent quality! She made me feel absolutely stunning for my wedding!
The team was so prompt and efficient between delegating time for hair, makeup, and the cool eye lashes. I had a vision of how I wanted my hair and it came out better than I had ima...
gined. It lasted the entire night and even when I took out the bobby pins, my hair wasn't stiff or greasy! Colleen and her team were amazing and made the experience really welcoming and fun!
Colleen and her team did my hair and makeup for a wedding I was in last summer. The professionalism and dedication they showed was incredible, all under Colleen's great leadership....
My hair stayed in (through the next day!) and makeup looked flawless all evening. I highly recommend Colleen and would certainly go back to her again. Her attention to detail and willingness to listen to what you want puts you at ease and assures you that you'll come out looking fabulous. Thanks Colleen!
Colleen and her team did hair and makeup for my September wedding. I loved the way my hair came out. I received lots of compliments and it did not budge all night, which is exactly...
what I wanted. Colleen went through 2 hair trials with me at my request, and was even willing to come to my home. I had 6 bridesmaids/family members also get hair and makeup done and they all looked great. I would highly recommend Colleen.

Colleen was absolutely amazing for my small family wedding ceremony. She got to the location in NH 10 minutes early, made great suggestions when it came to hair and makeup and mana...
ged to get it all done in a little over an hour. I booked her less than a month in advance which was a miracle in and of itself. Her relaxed and professional manner helped me keep calm before the wedding. She even allowed me to keep the lip gloss and mascara she used for all day touch-ups and waited around for me to change into my dress to complete the outfit with attaching the veil. Even after taking the veil and wreathe out and putting my hair down I still had beautiful curls that lasted all night. I was incredibly pleased with her work and would highly recommend to all brides to be or anyone for that matter.

or each and every one! Colleen herself is a perfectionist, but her approach with her clients is so relaxed. She listens carefully to the style and look you are hoping to achieve and then she creates MAGIC! I always feel like the best version of myself when she is finished! I recommend her highly for any bridal or special event beauty needs. You won't be disappointed!
I had a fancy cocktail Winter Party to go to for work (a new job, so I wanted to look put together). Colleen styled my hair and did my make-up so I felt beautiful, but natural (no...

Colleen did my wedding makeup and she was amazing! We did a makeup trial several months before my wedding on the day my fiance and I did engagement photos. Colleen came to my house...
and was super friendly and easy to talk to. She used airbrush makeup, which I loved! Stays on all day! I generally don't wear makeup, so she stuck with natural tones, but I did get false lashes, which really made me look great in the photos!
On the day of my wedding, she did makeup for me and four other people. We all loved how we looked and everyone told us how beautiful we looked throughout the night. She gave us some wipes to use at the end of the night (for removing the makeup) and we also got to keep the lipsticks she used on us, so we were able to do touch-ups.
Colleen was so fun to work with and I highly recommend her!

t she was creating the look I had in mind. She came over on the Saturday morning of my wedding, and my whole family loved hanging out with us as I got ready. She even texted me the morning of to let me know she was on her way. She used a technique to achieve the relaxed curls I had dreamed about, even on a humid August day! It looked amazing! My hair stayed so well in place that it still looked good the next morning for the post-wedding brunch! She also did my make-up which I loved! I'm someone who doesn't usually wear much make-up and I was worried about being overdone. She created a natural look that made me feel beautiful and looks flawless in my pictures! She also helped me to try false eyelashes which were so much fun and looked amazing!! I can't recommend Colleen enough!! Not only was she incredible at both hair and make-up but she was such a pleasure to work with and talk to.
August 2, 2014 - Colleen was the perfect fit for our wedding preparation. She took on the task of providing hairstyling and make up services for 8 of us, myself, 5 bridesmaids, and...
our two mothers. Most of the bridal party had no idea what they wanted, Colleen was able to create styles that were absolutely stunning for each individual and left everybody happy. Colleen was so easy going and really made the process stress free! Everybody's hair and make up lasted throughout the night without any problems. I couldn't have been any happier with the services she provided.

re. She came to my home to go through a trial run to make sure everything was perfect! On the day of my wedding she came to me at the hotel I was married at in Andover and even brought me a coffee! She helped keep me super relaxed for my "I Do's". I would highly recommend her phenomenal work and professional and fun attitude! Everything came together perfectly and she topped it all of with my hair and makeup!!

stant, all six of us were done in a little over 3 hours. I had gone to her salon in Arlington a month prior, so I already knew my hair would be just as I wanted. My makeup also came out perfectly. I wanted a natural look for the bridesmaids and she did just that. I greatly appreciated that they stayed until we got into our limo to make sure they could fix any flyaways or lack of lipstick! Everyone looked beautiful and our hair and makeup stayed in tact all the way until the next morning.
I hired Colleen to do my hair and makeup for myself and my 4 bridesmaids. Colleen came to my apartment for a trial 2 weeks before my wedding, and really took the time to figure ou...
t what I wanted. It was great, and she had a ton of helpful suggestions. The day of the wedding she arrived at the hotel with her assistant, and stayed all the way until my dress was on just in case I needed any adjustments. All of my bridesmaids' hair looked great, and mine did too! My hair stayed put for over 12 hours (and then some!), and my makeup not only looked gorgeous but stayed on all night (even with the June heat and a crying episode during my vows!). Overall an excellent choice, and I highly recommend her!
