After searching endlessly for the right hair and makeup team—and having a terrible trial with another company—I finally found Dreamcatcher Artistry, and I couldn’t be more grateful! From the start, the owner, Leah, was incredibly thoughtful and hands-on. She personally took my call so I could ask detailed questions and make sure they were the right fit, which immediately put me at ease. Leah explained that their mission is to make brides and their wedding parties feel like the best version of themselves—not overly made-up or unrecognizable—which was exactly what I was looking for.
She paired me with Adrieanna, one of her longest-standing artists, for my trial, and we had such a fun experience at my apartment. Adrieanna was patient, listened to my ideas, and even took the time to FaceTime my mom so she could be part of the process, which meant so much to me. Right away, I could tell she understood my vision and was bringing it to life beautifully.
When Leah told me that she herself would be my second artist on my wedding day, I felt so taken care of. On the big day, both Leah and Adrieanna made me and my bridal party feel comfortable, confident, and absolutely stunning. They enhanced everyone’s natural beauty in a way that felt effortless and elegant. Best of all, the hair and makeup lasted flawlessly the entire day—even after hours of dancing and celebrating!
Your hair and makeup team truly sets the tone for the wedding day, and I couldn’t have been more thankful to have Dreamcatcher Artistry by my side. If you want a team that is professional, warm, and unbelievably talented, look no further!

Dreamcatcher Artistry was recommended from our wedding planner and we could not be happier. Our wedding was on 10/18/25 and I worked with Leah on the communication stand point through out the entire journey from beginning to end and she was fantastic. Always followed up within the day, she had great communication, the forms to fill out so they know what look you are going for was super easy and helpful. I worked with Sye for my bridal hair and make up for both the trial and the day. My sister make up was also done by Sye, with hair by Kalani.
Kalani was our hair stylist for my bridesmaids. I haven't gotten all our pictures back but the day was filled with so many compliments on all our make up and hair.
Sye did an incredible job. I was less tan from the summer so I wanted to switch my hair and make up look from the trial, which could be scary the day of but she knocked it out of the park. Sye communication and understanding of what you like about a picture and her professional yet fun and calm presence made the day so easy. I have never felt more pretty than I did on my wedding day. The make up felt so light, my flip pony hair with extensions was a dream.
Kalani did all three of my bridesmaids hair that I don't have pictures of yet. But she did a wonderful job, she did two updos. My bridesmaids just said I trust you and she did her thing.
We can't recommend booking dreamcatcher enough look no further because they will make your experience easy, fun, memorable, and beautiful.

Nancy did my make up and hair for my October 2025 wedding. Jordan and Nancy also helped my bridal party get their hair and make up done.
They were absolutely amazing and patient. For my hair and make up I thought I wanted a soft glam look and an updo. When we did the trial I realized that the look I had envisioned doesn’t work for me. So I HIGHLY recommend doing a trial. Nancy was flexible and patient with my lack of knowledge of hair and make up and made me look beautiful on my wedding day.
Nancy and Jordan also did the hair and make up of my mother in law and mother who also don’t know much about hair and make up but both of them were absolutely thrilled with their look. Again both Jordan and nancy were incredibly patient, calm, and helped us move toward hair and make up that made us feel comfortable.
Would absolutely recommend, especially if you are gifting hair and make up to your bridal party.

The ladies did such great work and were so fun to hang out with! Everyone was so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out. Chelsea totally nailed the old Hollywood hair and natural makeup I wanted. My hair and makeup lasted the whole night too (despite lots of sweating!). Overall a fabulous experience!

Adrieanna did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she was a dream to work with, as were Leah and Chris (the owners of Dreamcatcher Artistry)! From scheduling, through the trial and incorporating feedback for the big day - the team was professional and highly talented! Adrieanna also did my mom's hair and makeup and my MIL's makeup. They were all very happy with the service - as was I!

Leah from Dreamcatcher Artistry was fantastic! She made me feel so confident and beautiful on my most important day, and my hair and makeup lasted perfectly all day (despite lots of running around and sweaty dancing!). Leah and team were SO patient and helpful during the entire planning process. We had some last-minute changes on who was getting hair/makeup , and they took them in stride and were able to put me (a very stressed bride) at ease. Leah really listened to what I wanted, and was super diligent about taking notes before, during, and after the pre-wedding trial. She then implemented everything I asked for on the wedding day. Leah and her team made getting ready so relaxed and fun. The artists were all so personable and a great addition to the bridal suite!! My bridal party looked amazing. Everyone was so comfortable and happy with their looks. Not only did Dreamcatcher Artistry create beautiful looks for the wedding party, but they also did amazing work on my mom, mother-in-law, and grandma. They are truly so skilled for ALL ages. We all felt our best that day, and I cannot thank Leah and the team enough!

I spent so much time researching hair and makeup teams and interviewing them, and I am so glad I went with Dreamcatcher Artistry. I was looking for a natural makeup look, and Leah, the business owner, set me up with Sye. From start to finish, working with Leah, Sye, and Chelsea was an absolute joy.
I have extremely sensitive skin with a long list of allergens, and Sye took the time to make sure all the makeup used was safe, both during the preview and on the wedding day itself. The preview is a must-have: I had picked a few “Pinterest” makeup and hair looks, and Sye did a great job matching them. Even though the makeup we tried at the preview was nice, it just didn’t look quite right on me. I talked to Sye about it, and she made thoughtful adjustments, creating a final look on the wedding day that I absolutely loved.
Besides Sye, we also had Chelsea on the wedding day, and they both did an amazing job on me as well as all the bridesmaids and the wedding party. Some of the girls were quite picky, but everyone was thrilled with their hair and makeup. Sye and Chelsea were professional, attentive, and made everyone feel comfortable. The end result was flawless, and all of us were thrilled. If you want talented artists who truly care about their clients and deliver stunning results, Dreamcatcher Artistry is the team to go with!

I loveddd working with Dreamcatcher Artistry on my wedding hair and makeup, and so did my wedding party. This team is so thoughtful, professional, and responsive. They really understood our vision, and helped my family and me achieve the soft and natural look we were hoping for. We would absolutely work with them again and highly recommend them for special occasions.

I will forever be grateful to Sye at Dreamcatcher Artistry. I’m not very glam, so I was a bit nervous about feeling comfortable and feeling like myself in hair and makeup. Sye’s warmth, down to earth attitude, and good-humor put me at ease from the start of my hair preview. On the day, Sye showed up bright and early, put some tunes on and got to work. I could go on and on and on about how lovely my friends and I looked and felt after Sye’s magic–the airbrush was cooling and light, the hair pins secure and painless, the eyelashes natural and gorgeous. Somehow, with not a single touch up, everything looked flawless the entire night. The hours before the wedding were filled with emotions, nerves, and tension, and Sye was with me the whole time, helping me through with kind words of encouragement and logistical solutions. She stayed until I was completely dressed and saved the day with last-minute dress tape. Thank you for all the confidence, calm, and beauty on the best night of my life.

Dreamcatcher artistry did an amazing job for my wedding! I can't recommend them highly enough! I don't typically wear a lot of makeup and was nervous about getting my makeup done and not looking like myself but Stephanie did such an incredible job! I felt like myself but better and was obsessed with my wedding makeup! Amanda also helped on my wedding day and everyone that got ready with me, from my Grandmother to my mom to my friends, loved their hair and makeup. There were lots of different looks requested in the group (natural makeup, more glam, half up hair, 20's-ish waves) and they did them all perfectly. Stephanie and Amanda were also great to have around while getting ready and brought a fun energy to the day! Dreamcatcher is also super organized and easy to work with. They make everything super clear, send great communication and overall make the process really seamless! 10/10.

Married Dec 2024 in San Francisco - Hair/makeup for bride and Maid of Honor along with hair for mother of the groom and makeup for Matron of Honor (had two MOHs). Dreamcatcher HMUA was fantastic. I'm a 60 yo bride and my bride hair looked EXACTLY like my picture I showed her. My soon to be step-daughter and Maid of Honor looked amazing and her hair looked exactly like her pic she showed to the HMUA. My soon to be mother in law (82 yo) had her hair done and it looked great and she was very happy. My sister (Matron of Honor) is 72 years old and her make up was flawless and she was super happy. HMUA was on time, professional, did a great job. Working ahead of time with Leah, the owner, was so easy. She explained everything, she responded to emails quickly. I even added to my services about a month ahead of my wedding and Leah was so gracious about it and easily added it to my contract. She also worked out my timing for the day of the wedding that fit our schedules perfectly. I was given my HMUAs cell phone for the trial and the day-of the wedding. It could not have gone better and could not have asked for more. Thank you Dreamcatcher Artistry for making me feel like a bride and confident at my wedding and for making my girls look amazing!

As a woman who does not normally do my hair and makeup, the idea of getting ready on the big day was a bit stressful. Thankfully, my planner put us in touch with Dreamcatcher! The Dreamcatcher team made the whole process so easy, guiding me through the planning process to think through what I wanted and providing a very clear day-of schedule and preparation list ahead of time.
Sye was my artist, and she was so lovely to work with during the trial and on the big day. She made me feel very comfortable during our time together and answered all of my questions. She even helped me plan a second lip color since I had two ceremonies during my wedding. My hair and makeup held up well the entire day, and I loved my look. I wish I could look like that every day!
We LOVED all of the artists (Sye, Megan, Kirsten) we worked with. They all came on time and well prepared with everything we could need (including chairs and lights). My mom was having anxiety about getting her HMU done well in advance of the wedding, but Kirsten (yes we shared the same name!) made her feel very comfortable through their conversation. In the end, my mom was super happy with how the look turned out which definitely set a great tone for the day. Everyone looked stunning in the photos (photos attached by Cassie Valente- our photographer)!
Definitely recommend Dreamcatcher Artistry for HMU. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat!

I can't thank Dreamcater Artistry enough for the incredible work they did on our wedding day! Stephanie and Nora were absolute gems, and they made the entire hair and makeup experience so enjoyable and stress-free. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, friendly, and made everyone feel at ease. It was such a fun and relaxing atmosphere while they worked their magic!
All of the ladies absolutely loved how their hair and makeup turned out—they looked stunning! But what really meant the most to me was how I felt. Stephanie did both my hair and makeup, and she completely nailed my vision. I wanted to feel like me, just a more polished, glowing version, and that's exactly what I got. I didn’t need to touch up at all throughout the night, which was such a relief. My makeup looked flawless all evening long. I felt so confident and beautiful, and that’s exactly what you want on your wedding day!
Thank you, Stephanie and Nora, for not only making us all look beautiful but also for making us feel amazing. You truly helped make our day so much more special, and I’m so grateful for everything you did.

I’m extremely happy with my experience working with Leah and Sye for my wedding! I couldn’t be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out. Everyone in my group who received their services looked absolutely stunning. Leah even worked wonderfully with my 94-year-old grandmother, creating a hairstyle that was beautiful and comfortable for her.
Leah and Sye’s communication was clear, professional, and organized. I felt I could trust them to handle the job from the start, and they absolutely delivered. They are extremely skilled and kind.

For my wedding, my bridesmaids and I had many wonderful compliments on our hair and makeup.
Leah was very easy to communicate with and she had Adrieanna arranged for my preview appointment for hair and makeup.
Adrieanna showed up on time and did a fabulous job of doing my hair and makeup as I wanted. She's very talented. She listens well and if there was anything needing adjusting she happily adjusted it, both on the preview and wedding day.
On the morning of my wedding day, Adrieanna showed up on time and ready to make us look our best. She had to do hair and makeup for my Officiant, two bridesmaids, and myself. The ladies looked gorgeous after she finished!
While having my makeup done I was feeling a little overwhelmed and teary eyed (happy tears), Adrieanna did a great job at distracting me and reminding me to breathe, she even handed me a fan to give myself some air which helped a lot!
I loved my hair and makeup, and it stayed on for the rest of the day even through many happy tears!
I’m also thankful she stayed a few extra minutes and helped me with my dress. Whew! All went splendid! She’s wonderful!

I hired Dreamcatcher Artistry for my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding in Santa Barbara. They were AMAZING. We had Adrieanna and Leah and I couldn't say anything more positive about them because they absolutely crushed it. Leah was very communicative from the beginning and was extremely organized. She was very accommodating, helpful and flexible. They helped do 8 different services in a very short time frame on our wedding day in a very tight hotel room and executed everything flawlessly. They listened to the various requests from all of us getting ready and made suer we were happy with the results before they left. They worked around a lot of different skin tones (from pale to dark skin) and lots of different hair types (including extensions) and did so without any issues or complaints!
All of us were amazed and very happy with our makeup and hair. I'm so happy with the results - I've seriously never felt prettier thanks to Adrieanna and Leah. I would highly recommend hiring Dreamcatcher Artistry - you will not be disappointed!

I am so happy that I chose Dreamcatcher as my hair and makeup vendor for my wedding. First of all, the owner Leah is a wonderful person and a joy to work with. I had 4 artists working in the bridal suite the day of my wedding, and all of them were so great! Talented, professional, and lovely to be around. I had multiple bridesmaids tell me it was the best wedding party makeup they ever had. I had Sye as my bridal artist, and she knocked it out the park! I have never felt more beautiful. Couldn't have been more impressed with the whole Dreamcatcher team.

I did not find my experience as wonderful as everyone seems to have had. My contract with another company was absorbed by Dreamcatcher Artistry and I soon realized I was paying extra to a company that is pretty much just a middle person and probably taken a massive cut for another woman's work. I found that I was asked questions and then without disclosure, charged addition fees, which I then contested as it should never have been additional costs. I felt like this company looks to nickel and dime it's clients, which seems a bit cheap considering I was already paying a couple thousand dollars just three women for hair and makeup, one little girl for hair, and for my husband to basically have his hair brushed/styled. I am happy to pay well for good service, but do not appreciate when it is done in a dishonest way. When it came to scheduling, I was not very impressed by the effort to be proactive in making a pretty simple schedule request work so I could make it for my first look timing. Luckily, I was able to suggest a solution since the response I previous got was no help at all. Overall, I wish I had known how this worked and had found a makeup artist to contract with directly. The makeup artist herself was fantastic. Star deductions have nothing to do with the quality of the artist, who I was happy to additionally tip for her work. My advise to women contracted to Dreamcatcher is to be your own advocate and know when you are getting ripped off.
Response from Dreamcatcher Artistry on 08/19/2024
Lindsay, thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience with ou...
r company didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to ensure every bride has a wonderful experience, and it’s disheartening to learn that we fell short in your case.
I tried reaching out to you by phone followed by two emails last week to discuss your concerns directly, as I believe open communication is the best way to resolve any issues. We even sent a followup email a few weeks after your wedding as we do with all of our brides to see how everything went, with no response. Based on our previous correspondence, we were unaware of the extent of your concerns beyond the request to waive the room change fee. I’d like to address some of your specific points in hopes of clarifying any misunderstandings.
As you know, Dreamcatcher Artistry acquired Rozetree Bridal earlier this year. We honored everything in your original contract with Rozetree. However, when you added additional services that were not offered by Rozetree, there were additional costs involved. We always aim to be transparent about our pricing, but I understand that since your initial booking was with Rozetree, you may not have been fully aware of these details. We did our best to inform you of any extra costs as soon as we began working on the additional services you requested. It’s never our intention to add unexpected fees, and we genuinely try to be upfront and clear about all costs.
Regarding the scheduling concerns, we always strive to be as flexible as possible. When you requested a time change, your artist already had another commitment that morning. While she did her best to accommodate the new timing, it was unfortunately beyond our control. We did try to keep the conversation open asking for you and your coordinators thoughts on the matter, as we always aim to find the best outcome for everyone involved. We understand how important timing is on your wedding day and regret that this caused you any stress.
I also want to highlight that we are proud of the compensation rates we offer our talented artists. Fees like the room change fee are in place to ensure our artists are fairly compensated for the additional time and effort required for tasks such as setup, teardown, and sanitation. As an artist myself, I’ve worked with teams that didn’t value my time, and our policies are designed to ensure fair treatment and compensation for everyone on our team.
Lastly, I want to mention that we provided two artists for your event without charging an additional travel fee, as I specifically wanted to avoid any unnecessary costs for you.
Again, I am deeply sorry that your experience with us wasn’t what you hoped for. I would have appreciated the opportunity to discuss this with you personally, as we are a hardworking, family-owned business dedicated to creating the best possible experience for our brides and providing meaningful work for our artists. If there’s anything we can do to make this right, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

They did such a fantastic job with hair and makeup! The bridal hair/makeup preview went very smoothly and I knew myself and my ladies would be well taken care of wedding day. They're very good at any makeup look (natural, bold, you name it they can do it) and are also mindful of any allergies. The artists were so sweet and communication before wedding day was also fantastic. I felt so beautiful wedding day! My hair stayed perfect all day and so did my makeup. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Dreamcatcher Artistry after a fantastic experience with them on my wedding day. Leah and Chris are clear and quick with communication, worked with our timeline for the day and answered all of my questions ahead of time. A couple months ahead of the wedding day, Sye did my bridal preview and put together a look that made me feel special but still like myself.
Sye and Megan were our artists day of, both incredibly skilled at their craft. Everyone receiving services felt beautiful and had a lot of fun throughout the experience on the day of. We were a group that is pretty variable with their comfort around hair and makeup and everyone was at ease. A special thank you to Megan for taking the time to talk through each aspect with my mom for her makeup in order to make her feel special but still maintain a minimal look - she went into the experience a bit nervous and was really happy with the outcome. Sye did an amazing job with my hair and makeup on the day of -- I am so grateful for her expertise and calm presence. It was truly a wonderful day and I am so happy Dreamcatcher Artistry was part of it!

I am so glad I decided to hire Dreamcatcher Artistry for my makeup at my elopement at SF City Hall! Sye provided a house call to my apartment, and did a beautiful job even without a makeup trial beforehand. Her energy was extremely calming and she was so sweet to be around, and made me feel so beautiful.
The Dreamcatcher team were communicative, reliable, and very professional throughout the process. I was extremely pleased with the final result and would recommend Dreamcatcher to anyone.

Sye from Dreamcatcher Artistry did an excellent job on wedding hair and makeup for me, my sister, and my mom. The process of working with Dreamcatcher was very smooth. I was looking for wedding hair and makeup that made me feel like a more polished version of my normal self, and Dreamcatcher fit the bill perfectly. Sye crafted a great look for me based on just a few inspiration photos, and I felt really confident with the natural look we ended up doing. Both my makeup and hair also stood up to unexpected bad weather and a wild dance floor. I loved working with Sye and would strongly recommend both Sye and Dreamcatcher.

My wife worked with Stephanie for her and her bridal party's hair and makeup. She was highly attentive and personable, and incorporated all of her feedback from the trial. Additionally, she gave highly helpful advice on areas where she could have lighter coverage without it affecting her appearance, and was provided direction and advice for members of the party who needed help choosing what kind of make-up to apply.
On the day-of, both Stephanie and Ashley did a fantastic job working with a variety of hair types, skin colors, and makeup styles. They both finished on time, which was a huge deal for us.

I had the best experience with Dreamcatcher. Leah and her team are excellent. Super responsive and easy to coordinate with and they listen to what you want. My artist, Nancy, was one of the highlights of my wedding day. She did a phenomenal job on my makeup as well as my mom and sisters. She understood the assignment and delivered the natural look we had asked for during our make up trial. She had spent time asking for feedback and making adjustments during the trial so on the actual wedding day I I could enjoy a rare moment of peace with my eyes closed while she worked. She was so sweet and patient and helped set the tone for a dreamy day. I would absolutely recommend her and Dremcatcher to all my friends!

Leah did my hair and makeup and did my bridesmaids' and flower girls' hair for my wedding, and we loved the experience! I did a hair and makeup trial with Leah for my engagement photos, and she incorporated the minor feedback I had into my wedding day hair and makeup. Overall, she understood the vibe I was going for and didn't overwhelm me as someone who essentially never does their makeup or hair. She was cool to talk to (we bonded over our shared love of owning chickens) and handled everyone's varying personalities and moods on the wedding day so well. I highly recommend you check out Dreamcatcher Artistry for your wedding hair and makeup needs!

Dreamcatcher was a joy to work with! They were always prompt in replying and incredibly friendly. My artist Chelsea was amazing. We spent enough time chatting that I really felt like she understood what I was looking for in my hair and makeup, and she took tons of notes after the preview so I felt confident she could repeat it well on the wedding day (she did!). A few of my bridesmaids also had their hair and/or makeup done and she was great with them as well. Everyone was really happy and I'd definitely work with her/Dreamcatcher Artistry again!

Beyond thrilled with my experience with Dreamcatcher Artistry and our amazing artists Ashlee and Kirsten. From initial communication to building timelines to the wedding day, everything was seamless and wonderful.
I chose to do a makeup trial with Ashlee and she completely nailed the look I wanted (even though I struggled to articulate it) on the first try which made me extra excited for day-of (and she replicated it perfectly).
Both Ashlee and Kirsten arrived to our bridal AirBnB prepared and ready to complete hair and makeup for four (4) bridesmaids, two (2) moms, and myself (all with different skin tones, hair textures/thickness/colors, skin sensitivities, and ages) and every single person loved the outcomes.
As the bride I felt absolutely beautiful and the makeup and hair lasted the entire day.

The team at Dreamcatcher Artistry has always been so quick with communication. This was a huge perk for me because I'll be that person who often has questions at random times and I always knew someone was checking their email and responding. I really appreciated this.
Ashlee was my hair and makeup artist and she was stellar. Even though I pulled a last minute change on what I wanted to do with my hair and makeup, she adapted and delivered. She also did my mom and sister's hair and makeup for my wedding and did a great job. Aside from her work, she was always great company, a great conversation and I felt well taken care of with her. I was so fortunate to have her on my team

I loved EVERYBODY’S hair and makeup the day of my wedding! I got Sye for makeup (and hair for me) and Nora for my bridesmaids’ hair. Everything turned out so beautiful. I sent in super blurry inspiration pictures, but Sye made the most of it and nailed my makeup look.
Originally, my bridesmaids only wanted their hair done and Dreamcatcher sent me a timeline with one artist that started at 4 IN THE MORNING. I asked if we could add an additional artist, but was told we could only add a second one if I purchased ten services. With the early hour fees, it was almost as expensive to add the second artist, so I gifted makeup services to my Maid of Honor and Matron of Honor.

I hired Leah to do hair and makeup for myself (mother of the groom) and 5 other members of my family. She was very responsive from my initial contact through the morning of the big day and made the planning process so easy. She and her associate both arrived on time and stuck to the schedule we had worked out so that everyone was ready in plenty of time. Since we all traveled in from out of town, we weren't able to take advantage of her offer to do a preview session so we had to trust her to deliver what we asked for. I made it clear that I wanted a natural look and was very pleased with the results of her work.

For our wedding, I wanted an old Hollywood glam look. I met my makeup artist Stephanie day off and boy did she deliver!! She was INCREDIBLE! She really listened to my bridesmaid and I of what we wanted for hair and makeup and went above and beyond what we could have imagined! She was incredibly polite, easy to work with and caring towards all of us. Plus it was very easy to work with Dreamcatcher Artistry, tell them what we wanted and get that delivered! Thank you so much Dreamcatcher Artistry and Stephanie for making our day so special!

I booked Dreamcatcher Artistry to do makeup for my wedding and I’m so happy I did. Chrystal, our MUA, is extremely talented and made me and my wedding party feel absolutely beautiful for the big day. I’m more less is more when it comes to makeup, and I’ve never had my makeup done before, so I was a bit nervous going into the process because I wanted to look done up on my wedding day, but still look like myself. Chrystal was so amazing at listening to what I wanted (and what my wedding party wanted) when it came to makeup and the makeup was absolutely perfect! If I ever need to get my makeup done again, I will definitely be calling her!!

I was so happy and thrilled with my experience with Dreamcatcher Artistry. Leah the owner worked through all of the contracting and prep work. I filled out a questionnaire with pictures of I was looking to do for my wedding day. I had scheduled a trial prior and was matched with Sye who was SO lovely.
The trial was at my home and she came self-contained with everything she needed. I highly recommend the trial and it helped me see firsthand what my make up would look like. After the trial, I came up with a handful of adjustments that I wanted to make on my makeup and hair.
The day of wedding, Sye and another makeup artist came to do mine and my bridesmaids' makeup. I along with the other girls were so happy with how beautiful and natural our makeup looked that day.
It was the first time I actually liked my hair and makeup done by a professional and lasted all through the night.

Dreamcatcher Artistry is just that - a dream to work with! My wedding coordinator raved about their work and after reaching out to Leah I knew that’s who I wanted to work with! Adrieanna did my hair and makeup and all the girls hair. She’s sweet, easy to work with, and good at what she does! Candace did most of the bridesmaids and moms makeup , and everyone could not stop saying how good of a job she did! Highly recommend this great team, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for everything!

Chelsea did a wonderful job with my hair and makeup over two days. She was so kind when I wasn’t happy with my hair during our trial and agreed to do a second hair trial that went perfectly. She was attentive to the images I sent and the way I was responding to the hair and makeup - and I can truly say I’ve never felt more beautiful. Just as important to me was that she was able to deal with the multiple personalities around me and the things that go wrong on a wedding day with grace, patience, and a problem-solving attitude. Nancy helped with hair and make-up for the women in our family the day of the wedding, and everyone seemed happy with the results. Everyone’s make-up and hair lasted from the morning until the afterparty, easily. Dreamcatcher typically will match you with whichever artists are free for your event, so I really recommend requesting the name of the artist and their portfolio before booking! Many of them have different styles.

I hired Dreamcatcher Artistry for my wedding and am SO glad that I did. They have my HIGHEST recommendation. Don't go with anyone else!! Leah, the owner, patiently worked with me from our original 5/2020 date through 2 postponements and a change of venue and city! She was SO patient and so easy to work with throughout all the pandemic craziness. Nora and Steven did hair and makeup for my sisters-in-law, my sister, my mother, and me. They both did a fantastic job and everyone looked beautiful! Nora especially went above and beyond the call of duty. I completely changed my mind about the look between my preview and my wedding day, and she handled it like a total champ!! She did a STUNNING job on my hair and makeup, and she was so incredibly kind to me during probably the most stressful few hours of my life. She literally helped me figure out how to put in my contacts (I never wear them) and stepped in to help button my dress when my mom was having a hard time due to arthritis in her thumbs. I had her stay for a few extra hours for touch ups (HIGHLY recommend - she touched me up right before I walked down the aisle and then again right before photos, so I didn't have to think twice about how I looked at any point). Hire Dreamcatcher Artistry for your big day. They will take wonderful care of you and you will feel confident and beautiful!

I hired Dreamcatcher to do my bridal hair and to do hair and makeup for my bridesmaids. I had a small bridal party so we worked with one artist, we were lucky enough to get to work with Leah on the big day. Leah did such an awesome job with everyone's hair and make up. She was a calm presence and made sure everyone was happy with their final results. All of my bridesmaids looked and felt beautiful! I let my bridesmaids pick their own styles but I did tell Leah I wanted a soft glam vibe and she executed perfectly. For my bridal hair I used clip in extensions. Leah made sure nothing was pulling and that I was comfortable. She matched my inspiration exactly and made sure everything stayed in place. She even showed my photograph how to put in and take out my veil for later. Overall it was a great experience, everyone's hair and make up lasted all night!

I hired Dreamcatcher for my bridal hair and makeup (as well as a trial). They were extremely professional and easy to communicate with. Chelsea did my hair and makeup and I loved it!! She perfectly nailed what I was going for just based on a few pictures and to top it off she's extremely nice and just fun to be around.

I hired Dreamcatcher Artistry to do my bridal makeup and the makeup for my 4 bridesmaids and mother. They were referred to me by my wedding coordinator and I was paired with Chrystal, who I cannot say enough good things about! Months before my wedding I did a makeup trial with Chrystal at my home, and I knew immediately that she was going to be great. She had such a friendly, bubbly, demeanor and really listened when I said that I wanted to look like a "natural glam" version of myself. I showed her some inspo pics on Pinterest and she totally nailed my vision. I reached out to her about a week before my wedding because I had some tan lines that I was concerned about and she recommended a high coverage makeup that perfectly did the trick. On the day of, she worked quickly but gave everyone the attention that they wanted, and was able to adjust to everyone's particular requests. I have never felt so beautiful before and would 100% hire Dreamcatcher again and recommend them to all my friends.

Leah was recommended to me by my wedding coordinator and I'm so happy she was available for my wedding! From my first inquiry, I knew she was going to be awesome! She was very responsive and even asked for some photos to give her an idea of my wedding inspiration. At my trial, she gave me a look that was flawless and timeless but I wanted to make some minor changes for the wedding day. The morning of my wedding Leah was right on time even a little early. She worked with me step by step with such patience the morning of to ensure that I nailed the look I was going for. Everyone looked amazing and they couldn't believe how natural the airbrush looked and how each artist helped them achieve what they were asking for! I was so calm all morning because I knew I was in such great hands. Our makeup looked great all night long needling no touch-ups. I could not believe I looked the exact same by the end of the night having been on the dance floor the whole time. I can't recommend Leah and her team enough, she is so talented and passionate about her job. If you are looking for an experienced, organized, and very talented make-up artist to achieve your dream look on your big day look further. Leah is sure to give you all of that and much much more!

Leah and her team were top notch!! Truly was an amazing experience! Leah worked with me for the entire weekend with multiple events and every day my hair and makeup was exactly what I pictured but even better than imagined!! On our wedding day - every single person was so increibly happy with their hair and makeup and everyone looked incredible! I have been in many weddings where that is not even close to the case!!
I could not recommend Leah and her team anymore! She worked with me to get every detail of my hair and makeup perfect!

Dreamcatcher is amazing, I can't recommend them highly enough! Working with Leah was wonderful. She has such a fun, easygoing vibe and brings exactly the kind of energy you want on your wedding day. She is super thoughtful about everything from how to plan the morning timeline to keep things relaxed and avoid any rushing, to how to best use the trial to make sure everyone feels clear and confident about the plan on the day. She is just a joy to be around, and of course is also a pro at what she does! She did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup. Everything felt simple, clean, and natural, and lasted all day and night. I felt beautiful, confident, and like myself, just a little fancier :) Thanks so much Leah and Dreamcatcher for an incredible experience!

Dreamcatcher Artistry was wonderful from beginning to end. Someone’s was also available for questions and they were very communicative through the planning process. Adrieanna did hair and makeup for our wedding and not only was she talented but she was wonderfully calm and fun to chat with. Great experience!

Dreamcatcher Artistry did the hair and makeup for my wedding and they are amazing! Chelsea did my makeup and hair and the hair of my bridesmaids (which included a gorgeous up-do, a half-up/half-down, natural waves, and a waterfall braid), and Chrystal did makeup for my bridesmaids. - their artistry is amazing. We all wanted a natural, romantic look with some pop - and the end result was beautiful, elegant and romantic. We looked like bombshell model versions of ourselves (but still ourselves, which was important to my husband). Our faces and hair lasted the entire day & evening, through an outdoor daytime ceremony, photos, dinner and a very fun dance party afterward. Both Chelsea and Chrystal were fun to have in the room with us for the 4+ hours of getting ready - conversation was easy and fun and we laughed a lot (which is a very important thing I didn’t necessarily consider but lucked out on!). Lastly, it was easy to work with Leah. She responded to all of my questions very quickly and setting up a contract was easy. I had an idea of the schedule from day 1 and that helped for a seamless day overall. My bridesmaids and I (and my husband) highly recommend Dreamcatcher Artistry!

Leah was amazing and did a beautiful job on everyone's hair and makeup, including Bride, Maid of Honor, Flower Girl, and Mother of the Bride. You get what you pay for and Dream Catcher was worth every penny. She came to the venue and had a completely professional set up. Everything was clean, organized, and our makeup artist was easygoing and fun to be around. She was able to create looks for us based on photos we showed her of what we wanted, and made everyone look perfect. She even provided touch-up lipstick for the bride that I could use throughout the evening. She was on-time and made sure that she managed the appointment so that there was wiggle room to adjust peoples looks if anyone was un-happy. I have really heavy hair, and she managed to create a look that stayed intact all evening without compromising what I wanted. Thank you Dreamcatcher Artistry for taking the stress out of looking beautiful for my wedding day.
