I had planned my entire wedding since it was destination via phone and email. She called me to ask about all the services needed and the look that I wanted. I sent her a couple pictures and she went above and beyond. I was so pleased with how e...
verything turned out. She left me a touch up bag (which I didn't need because everything stayed put for the entire day/night). Loved all the products she used. My skin felt so light but her coverage and techniques were amazing.

Joy is so good at her job! I don’t wear a lot of make up in general and I had expressed that to her and she made my look so effortless and stunning! I honestly didn’t have much ideas when it came to my hair and I am completely obsessed with how...

I wanted to love my experience, but unfortunately, it wasn’t excellent. Lauren and Demi, Joy’s assistants, did an AMAZING job and were absolutely phenomenal! However, the month leading up to the wedding was stressful. I didn’t hear from Joy the...
entire month before my wedding, and the week of, I called several times and sent several follow up emails. At the 48 hour mark until the wedding, my family and I actively started looking for other vendors. Joy and her people are so talented— I just hoped for better communication. It didn’t feel right that I had to be the initiator of all communication. It felt unprofessional and stressful for me as a bride. Their services were great but it was not worth the anxiety of not knowing what was happening the week of. Best of luck! 💛
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2022
Hi Rachel, I am so glad you enjoyed your services with Demi and Lauren! We are so incredibly sorry that our communication lacked so much leading up to your wedding day and caused stress around an event that is already very stressful. I do have...
emails that are scheduled to go out with the final details and due to some issues in my back end, that didn’t happen, but I didn’t realize it as August and September were the most high volume months I’ve experienced so far in my career. I have since started implementing back up systems to make sure no one ever feels stressed with us leading up to any event. Elegance by Joy Renee does pride ourself on our customer experience and we regret that you did not get that level of service with us.

Joy was a pleasure to work with on my wedding day! She arrived early and worked quickly to do hair and makeup on myself, two bridesmaids, my mom, and mother and law. Joy and her assistant did great work! The makeup was exactly what I asked for ...
- a natural bridal look, not too heavy. She even put false eyelashes on me (which I never do) and I still looked natural - just enhanced a little for photos 😉 also, the hairstyles on my bridesmaids and the moms were 10 out of 10!! ⭐️ SO CUTE. I would definitely recommend 🤍

led it with patience and grace! The skin tones across my bridal this group range from very fair to very deep, which made me very nervous when seeking a makeup artist. Joy handled it masterfully and everyone looked SO good! I was nervous about my eyebrows and lipstick as I am very particular on these things in my daily makeup wearing. Joy listened to my concerns and was very flexible in ensuring I had my dream bridal makeup! I would absolutely recommend her, especially for bridal parties with diverse skin tone ranges!

awesome job on me at my trial, and on wedding day me and my four bridesmaids all raved about how great our makeup and lashes were. She kept everything on schedule on wedding morning and was even able to add in some makeup for the flower girl. She had us ready with time to relax before we had to start pictures. On top of that, she was so sweet and brought a calming presence to wedding morning! I am so glad I hired her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for wedding day makeup in the Glacier area!
