Candy was very professional and made it very easy to work with her. In the midst of paying off vendors, I had forgotten to pay Candy. Not only did she make a gracious exception to ...
the due date (which she did NOT have to do), she understood the hustle and bustle of wedding stress. She allowed me to add and remove services many times. She really is great, and so is her team!

I'm extremely self conscious about my appearance. Which is why on my wedding day, with everyone important in my life in the same room, with hundreds of photographs taken of me, I d...
eserved to look and feel as beautiful as possible. And I wanted my mom, mother in law, and bridesmaids to feel the same. Even though I take pride in my makeup technique and can do my own glam look any day of the week, I'm lost when it comes to styling my hair. And I didn't want to do my own look on my wedding day. So, I looked to the professionals. Candace was straight forward from the beginning by providing me with a thorough rundown of her team's services, costs, and logistics. I loved the organization and even though the prices were higher than I was originally comfortable with, again, I needed professionals and I believe that your wedding day beauty is not something to cheap out on.
My hair is long and fine so I've always wanted extensions for volume and more length. Before my trial, I went to Sally Beauty Supply to get clip in extensions and I booked my trial well in advance before my wedding day to make sure I had the look I wanted. My stylist Ally was so sweet. She was patient with me through every question I had and worked fast with my hair extensions to achieve a partial updo. To a future bride reading this, COME PREPARED to your trial with the exact photo inspiration you want for your hair and makeup. Your stylists are not mind readers :) On my wedding day, everything was SO SMOOTH. I was so afraid of running out of time but Ally assured me that we were running on schedule and we ended up finishing the entire team of girls plus myself EARLY. (I'm very particular of how my eyebrows are styled so I asked Ally if I could finish styling them myself with my own brow pencil and she said no problem! If you have a specific way you like your makeup, don't be afraid to step in and do something yourself if your stylist isn't quite sure!) I would recommend this team to anyone who wants to look stunning on the most important day of your life. Thank you all!

Candy Rose Events was an excellent company to hire for my wedding. Candace answered every question in detail and was very flexible in changing the schedule and adding services. We ...
had Ally and Felicia as our MUA, they were beyond kind and getting everyone done perfectly in the timeline, I am very grateful they were there on time for our early morning start. I had my trial as the bride with Ally a few months beforehand. It went so well, and the trial was worth it as I learned the airbrush foundation did not work with my dry skin. Ally was onboard to change things the day of the wedding. All the ladies who got makeup and hair felt beautiful and it lasted the ENTIRE day through all the tears! My one bridesmaid who did not get the service even admired how long-lasting everyone's makeup was. My Aunt in law even shared that the team did an excellent job, as she showed them exactly what she wanted and wanted to avoid and they listened. Ally was even flexible to use my own products that I knew did not make my eyes water. She also answered every question in my trial that I shared with the party. And Felicia did incredible hair, it was all gorgeous! The only thing I did notice was a white sheen around the under eyes in the flash photos, but in all other lighting the makeup looked incredible in photos. Thank you Candy Rose Events!

ons with her after my trial to get some added volume and I’m so glad I did! All of my bridesmaids loved their hair as well. Brittney did my makeup and listed to all of the adjustments I wanted to make after the trial. I was blown away by how amazing my makeup looked when she was finished and the smoky eye was even better than what I had envisioned! My mom and mother-in-law don’t generally wear a lot of makeup and were also really happy with how everything turned out. They both took their time and made sure everyone was happy with their look and also made getting ready in the morning a lot of fun! Our wedding and reception was at an outdoor venue and despite the extremely warm weather that day everyone’s hair and makeup was still looking good at the end of the night! I highly recommend Candy Rose Events for your wedding or special event!!

The day of the wedding the girls were timely upon arrival and super easy to work with. My only recommendation would have been that we had 1 additional makeup stylist. For 10 ladies 1 makeup artist and 1 for me was not quite enough which altered our departure time just a bit.
Thank you to all of the girls for great work! We looked amazing!

is such a positive person and her communication is top notch. It is also nice how they do not charge extra for airbrush makeup and lashes. On the day of the wedding, you can tell the girls truly love what they do and they are amazing at it. They worked so well as a team, getting 13 women through hair and makeup in 5 hours (and staying on time)! Through all of my happy tears and dance floor sweat, my hair and makeup stayed flawless the entire day and night! You should feel your most beautiful self on your wedding day and I truly did with the help of Candy Rose Events. I cannot thank them enough.

and this was the best decision I could have made! All of the girls are still talking about the luxurious face prep, which made us all feel so fresh and awake and relaxed with our early morning start time. Everyone’s make up came out BEAUTIFULLY. As the bride, I could not have been happier how they were able to make me look like myself but better (and less tired lol) on my special day. I recommend bringing some inspiration pictures of yourself or someone who resembles you with make up you love if you’re particular like I am - they do such a great job listening and customizing the routine to EXACTLY what you’re looking for. Cannot recommend this team enough!

Choosing a venue well outside of the local geography to our home meant finding PA vendors and putting in the extra time for Zoom meetings, in person and even a repeat makeup trial.
First, Thanksgiving weekend 2020 and then again in May of 2021, this time Candace's team travelled to our home and was so wonderful -- even taking the time to thank us for "giving us the opportunity to do your wedding' --- great team, good listeners and talented stylists --- good choice for our cast of 8 women (and even onsite grooming for 7 men). Swift, professional and talented --- what more can you ask for on the morning of your daughters' start to her happily-ever-after? Not much!
Thank you Candace and team!!

I used Candy Rose Events for my small October wedding. I had originally booked Candace for our wedding that was supposed to be May 2020 in the poconos but due to COVID-19 we had to...
postpone to the fall and then two months prior relocate to Honey Brook, Pa (no where near the poconos). I had already had my trial in early March and absolutely loved my hair and make up so I was heart broken to think I would have to find new stylists due to changing our venue. Candace much to my surprise said they would make the drive to honey brook so I was thrilled! Not to mention when rescheduling our May date she gave brides who had to postpone first priority and they could pick any date!!! That is huge when trying to work around several vendors availability during an already stressful time! I will also add that the night before my wedding my make-up artist wasn't feeling well and for everyone's safety she couldn't come but Candace was able to find another stylists before even contacting me so I didn't have to worry one second! Lastly I have very curly natural hair and it has taken me many years to finally accept it so I was very nervous about having it curly on my wedding day. Candace reasured me that she could work with curls and she did exactly what I wanted! I would highly recommend Candace and her team, they are so nice, friendly and amazing at their jobs!!

Our entire wedding party, including my mom, looked breathtaking. We all had a great time with these women, laughing all morning! 5 stars isn't enough!
