I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Elwynn and Cass all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with them previously and knew they were on the top of my list for hair and makeup due to all of their professionalism and amazing work. I absolutely loved the look for my hair and makeup trial for my engagement photos which we did slightly differently to the look on the day of the wedding. All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning and my mom looked incredible as well. My dad couldn’t believe his wife looked so good and kept on remarking about it all day long which was so sweet. I definitely recommend hiring Elwynn and Cass for all your hair and makeup needs!
I loved working with Elwynn and Cass for my wedding! My makeup and hair stylist was amazing! We did a trial run before the wedding day and it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. We talked through it and she was able to give me exactly what I wanted on my wedding day and tweaked the styles I sent her to better fit the look I was going for. Yadira (stylist) was timely, kind, and so wonderful!! I would absolutely recommend them!
Hi want to start of this by saying Katelyn was great and I also had great communication. However, its the service/process I am rating low. I was having so much difficulty booking a hair and makeup vendor. Everyone seemed to be booked, outrageously expensive, or would ghost me. I ultimately chose this service even though I knew it was a bit more expensive because I wanted a stress free process. It was not stress free. My first trial went terrible. My second trial was great and I was so excited to work with the artist. Fast forward to the day of and it did not go as planned. I had 3 artist, 1 to do the hair for my bridesmaids, 1 to do makeup for the bridesmaids, and then the artist I did the trail with to assist me, my mother and sister. I was last and basically I think my artist took way to long on my mother and sister and therefore I ran late. Although I was really happy with how I ended looking, thank god for that! I was so late that my timeline got so messed up. I missed out on photos with my husband and was basically rushed down the aisle. I planned so well for this day and ironed out the timeline perfectly so there was really no reason that this should have happened. My photographer and videographer were waiting around for me for about an hour, and time is money which I lost. I even asked Katelyn if she was sure we had enough time to complete hair and makeup and she assured me we would be done on time with time to spare. Also, one of the artists that did the bridesmaids hair left without even checking with me before. The other artist that did the bridesmaids hair did such a poor job that my sister had to redo everyones hair before the wedding started. It really was just a mess. Although I think the main artist chosen for my wedding day was so sweet and did a great job she really lagged at the end and should have prioritized me better. Overall, i would not recommend this service as this was the vendor I had the most issues with. Apologies for the negative review but I need to be honest.

Hi Andria,
I am sorry you didn’t get the experience you deserved. I wish I had known that the timing was running late or that you were unhappy in the end, as we pride ourselves on the experience our clients have and that is certainly not the e...
xperience you should have had. We would have sought to rectify the issue the day of with the artists and ensure timing went more smoothly on your day if you felt any unease.
I am truly sorry you didn’t have the experience you deserved, as that is not what we would have wished for on your wedding day. Regardless, I wish you all the best and hope you are doing well.
Xo,
Katelyn
Any questions?
Unfortunately I cannot recommend using this service to find your makeup artist. While the idea of a concierge service is great, the bride is severely limited in her communication with potential artists. You do not know who your artist is until a couple days before the trial. You’re only given photos of what the artist allegedly has done, but there’s no means to verify this is actually your artist’s work. You’re told you cannot discuss payment or tips with your artist or even different services. You’re forced to pay entirely upfront, including tip before you even know who the artist is or if you like their work. You are not given your artist’s professional website or social handles to confirm they are what you’re looking for. Instead you choose based on cost with your artist allegedly falling within that cost. My first artist was no where near the caliber of artist that I paid for, and when I was able to find her website and rates after meeting her, they were nearly 50% less than the rate that I paid to Elwynn + Cass. The second artist I had a trial with, was better but ended up being 40 minutes late to my wedding and after being unable to deliver on my make up or hair, caused us to be over an hour late for pictures. I was then forced to completely redo my make up minutes before pictures and ceremony. I was unable to enjoy my wedding day with my bridesmaids as a result. I would not recommend using this service.

Hi Nicole, we are sorry that you didn't feel you received the experience you should have gotten. We pride ourselves on keeping the experience streamlined and stress-free for our clients and do so by handling payment on our client's behalf, as w...
ell as, handle the primary amount of communication. We personally vet all of the artists we work with and strive to ensure each client has a smooth experience. We wish you all the best!
Definitely recommend hiring Elwynn + Cass! They were so easy to coordinate wedding-day hair and makeup with, even with 8 bridesmaids and last-minute changes that came up. Yadira, Vivian, and Shiela were our hair and makeup artists for the day, and they were amazing! Professional, experienced, and made everyone look beautiful. I wanted a more natural makeup look, and Yadira was able to give me exactly what I wanted plus a bit of sparkle. And, she made my natural curls look amazing all day!
Having a destination wedding, finding someone to trust with my hair and makeup on one of the biggest days of my life was daunting. Elwynn + Cass made the process easy and stress-free by providing me with artists best suited to me and my girls, all while being mindful of budget. Brides, do not sleep on this service!
Katelyn was so helpful in providing all the information before I even asked. She chose wonderful artists to work with me & ensured a wonderful replacement was made when one of the artists was unfortunately unavailable. I highly recommend working with Katelyn if you don't want to worry about your hair & makeup looking beautiful and for a very stress-free experience!
Elwynn + Cass made getting my hair and makeup done for my wedding super easy. I didn’t have a bridal party, so it was difficult to find hair and makeup artists that work on just me the day of the wedding, so I truly appreciate how professional and responsive they were. Highly recommend!
Katelynn found talented artists for me and my bridal party, which, at the end of the day, matters most. For brides considering working with Elwynn and Cass, I recommend being upfront about your COVID vaccine expectations. I also found the communication platform Honeybook overly complicated to constantly navigate.
An outstanding experience- Elwynn & Cass is an all around class act! Katelyn is responsive, helpful, and has a beautifully kept portfolio with her artists. The team was flexible and gave me a clear picture of what I could expect! I would absolute hire them back and recommend to friends.
Thank you Elwynn + Cass for providing us with artists that were talented, pleasant, patient and a pleasure to work with. Sheyla, the Hair Professional, created looks that we were all happy with and lasted throughout the day and into the night. Sana, the make-up artist, listened to our concerns (some of us not use to wearing makeup) and gave her professional advice to make us feel comfortable and at end of day she was spot on! It was a magical day and thanks for this team to contributing to the magic!
With such a good variety of MUAs on hand, this beauty concierge has EVERYTHING you will need to get ready for the big day. The MUA you choose from different portfolios actually comes to your house for the trial and Tara, our HMUA was the most delightful person! Katelyn was very communicative and provided excellent customer service. I cannot recommend Elwynn+Cass more. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day.
Choosing Elwynn + Cass for my wedding hair and makeup was a fantastic decision. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup daily, doesn’t use product or dry my hair - ever, and only gets an annual trim... I didn’t know where to start! Katelyn’s concierge service made the process easy and simple. From our first call she was able to ask the right questions to help narrow down exactly what I was looking for and match me with the right artist. When covid not only postponed our event but changed the size/scale, Katelyn was easy to work with as we had to make adjustments to our vendor team. On our wedding day, Tarra was on time, warm and friendly. My hair and makeup was perfect - I looked just like myself and the style looked wonderful all night. If you’re like me and have no idea where to start, I highly recommend Katelyn and the Elwynn + Cass team!
The end product was beautiful make up, but if I did this again I would book directly with an artist or salon. The process was really opaque and it felt difficult to get questions answered at times. My trial was booked almost 2 months out from my first contact with them and when I reached out 2 days before my trial because I hadn't heard anything, I was then told it was being cancelled. I was told it was for a Covid exposure reason, which might be the case, but I had gotten no prep details before so it really felt like they were covering for forgetting me. My new trial was booked for the Sunday before my wedding which was terrifying. Luckily it went really well, but I would have had no time to adjust if I hated it.
Response from the Vendor on 08/24/2021
I am sorry that you felt the experience was difficult, as we do pride ourselves on ensuring everyone has a smooth experience. Unfortunately, the original artist booked did have a COVID scare, so we did our best to sub in another artist of equal...
caliber and experience that could achieve the look you were wanting. I am glad that we were able to get a trial done for you and that you ultimately loved your makeup / hair on your wedding day. We wish you all the best!
Elwynn & Cass was amazing to work with for my wedding! As someone who doesn't usually wear much makeup, Katelyn was very helpful in finding an artist who could provide what I was looking for. Hair & makeup is hard to look for when you're not a big makeup person, so it was very reassuring to know that Katelyn could provide a new artist & trial if the first didn't go well! The makeup artist (Yadira) was great & really understanding and my entire bridal party was very happy with the looks!
Elwynn + Cass was wonderful to work with and I’m so pleased with how my bridesmaids and I looked on my wedding day! The whole process including makeup trials was very easy! The end results were stunning!
Katelyn helped me find hair and makeup professionals both for my wedding trial, my elopement, and my large wedding celebration. I highly recommend Frances if you are in San Diego. I went out front of my hotel room the morning of and she was there early with her assistant waiting in their car to come in at our start time and that alone relieved my wedding day anxiety! Our party members were thrilled with how amazing we looked once our makeup and hair was done for the wedding. Katelyns service gives a peace of mind knowing that if something did happen on the day of your event she would be able to get someone out there so you aren’t stranded. It is also nice to get the payments done and tip out of the way prior so that you don’t have anything to worry about the day of the wedding.
Used Elwynn + Cass for hair for my wedding. Our hair artist was incredible. Everyone was finished on time and two of my bridesmaids have THICK hair. Everyone looked beautiful and Meztli did a fantastic job. Would use this company again and I can't wait to update this review with photos! Katelyn was wonderful- we had to reschedule our March 2020 wedding twice and she let us no problem, she even sent me a "hang in there" card, fantastic company 10/10 would recommend.
Elwynn + Cass was outstanding. Katelynn was extremely helpful foe the whole process and walking me through picking my artists that suited me and my Bridal Party best, as well as reflected my budget well. The Artists were extremely nice, professional, and had years of experience that reflected in their work. Both myself and my Bridal Party looked incredible for my special day. I would highly recommend using them for any Hair & Make-up needs you have. They make it easy, effortless, and gorgeous.
Super thankful to the Elwynn & Cass team for making hair & makeup for my wedding day such a seamless experience. They found Christine for me in Las Vegas, who was absolutely incredible!
Due to COVID, we actually ended up having to change our wedding date TWO times & she stuck with us for 2 years from the initial trial to actual wedding! On our wedding day, we ended up having 50 mph winds (can’t make this stuff up!). Hair & makeup stayed in place throughout it incredibly!! Highly recommend!
Elwynn + Cass was a total dream to work with on hair and makeup for my wedding. Katelyn coordinated every single thing from start to finish and made the day-of experience totally seamless. As someone who was overwhelmed with all the options for hair/makeup in LA, having a beauty concierge for my 8 person bridal party was such an amazing investment I didn't know I needed! Everyone in my wedding party loved the team - they were so fun, calming, professional and talented and I cannot wait to see the photos. I couldn't have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out as well.
Katelyn was extremely responsive and knowledgeable throughout the process. She coordinated two hair trials for me and helped answer all my beauty-related questions. Highly highly recommend!
Beyond impressed with this company. They made my wedding day so extraordinary! Their care and expertise was absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, they were so easy and professional to work with. I would give them 10 stars if I could! Thank you!
So thankful for Elwynn + Cass! Katelyn made things so easy and stress free. Our artist was early and super talented and professional.
My hair and makeup artists were amazing! had a hair + makeup trial at my house over a year ago with hair stylist Jordan and makeup artist KC. They made me feel so beautiful then and I wanted to put my trial to the test. So when my hair and full face of makeup still looked fresh the next morning, I knew KC and Jordan were for me. They made me and my bridal party look so beautiful and they were so personable! I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me celebrate my big day! All I can say is, book with Elwynn + Cass and you will not be disappointed.
Such a great service! If you are have a destination wedding, this is a MUST! I made arrangements and paid ahead of time so that the day of my wedding I could relax and not worry. Once the artists arrived at my hotel they texted me and came to my room with everything they needed - chairs and all! They took care of my maid of honor and myself making us look like professional models while taking our concerns into consideration. Overall a great experience!
I am so grateful for my photographer who recommended Elwynn + Cass! I didn’t have to go through the stress of searching for a hairstylist, especially during this current pandemic. I contacted them, answered a few questions, gave them my budget and right away Katelyn took care of everything! Katelyn was super helpful and always quick to answer any questions I had. I also loved that I didn’t have to drive anywhere for a hair trial. Yadira, my hair stylist was amazing! She came prepared! My bridal party loved her too! I would highly recommend Elwynn+Cass to any bride looking for a stress free experience when booking a hair stylist and/or make up artist!

Was my absolute pleasure to help Angie and I am so glad that you and your party members had the experience you were looking for. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out!
In an era of great unknows surrounding weddings, Elwynn + Cass was a breath of fresh air. They were flexible and understanding of all the ups and downs. I ended up changing the plan several times. They did my hair + makeup in a very safe way. I've never felt so beautiful. I've also never been part of a wedding where every single bridesmaid LOVED their look and one that was on schedule. They timed everything out perfectly. My bridesmaid even got their info because she loved them so much. Can't thank this glam squad enough!

You are the sweetest Jill, and this means the world to hear. Was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day and make sure you felt your best. If you ever need anything, we are here for you!
Elwynn + Cass was the easiest vendor booking experience I had for my elopement. Katelyn took such great care of me, and listened to every little detail that I wanted and was sure to help me find the perfect artist. I couldn't be happier with my experience and highly recommend them to all brides looking for an excellent HAMU service.
This year was a challenging year, but Katelyn made the hair and makeup stress free. She helped pair me with stylists who achieved my vision, organized a trial, and even helped arrange new artists when I had to down scale my event this year. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Elwynn + Cass for my ceremony next year!
Everything was absolutely perfect! Katelyn was wonderful to work with to get everything set up. Veronica was in charge of hair and makeup. From my trial 3 months before my wedding, through the day of Veronica was a rockstar!! She did a wonderful job making me and my girls feel and look beautiful. I highly recommend these girls, beyond amazing experience.
Katelyn made everything easy and stress free. The hair and make up team she selected for me did an amazing job! Everything was absolutely perfect. 100% recommend.
very good communication. but never got to use their services.

Thank you Alexandra! That means the world to us.
I've had a very difficult time working with this vendor. I've found her to be extremely inflexible which is very frustrating while planning a wedding during COVID. I am surprised that a vendor that relies on referrals would not make more of an effort to keep brides happy. I would not recommend her services.
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2020
I am sorry to hear that you feel that way Charissa, as I strive to ensure that every client has a great experience from start to finish. I know you requested to have a makeup service swapped to a hair service with less than 3 days before your w...
edding day (7/11), which unfortunately cannot be accommodated due to the makeup artist planning her day based on these services. I am sure you can understand that COVID has been difficult on everyone and this is the artist's livelihood as well. I am sure that on the day of your wedding, everyone will be happy and you will have the experience you are hoping for.
Katelyn of Elwynn + Cass does an amazing job creating a personalized beauty experience for her clients. She did an amazing job getting a feel for my personal style by sending over a questionnaire asking for more information about me, my hobbies, and other things to match me with a hair and makeup stylist that would fit what I wanted. She matched me with two amazing stylists who did an incredible job on my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot.
As our May 30th, 2020 wedding gets closer and the COVID-19 situation begins to push us into potentially rescheduling, Katelyn has been beyond supportive! I am so glad that I went with Elwynn + Cass for my wedding beauty services and cannot wait to work with the amazing stylists she coordinated for my wedding day!
I 1000% recommend working with Elwynn + Cass for your wedding. Katelyn was an absolute pleasure to work with and made booking all the services a seamless experience. She not only was incredibly quick to respond to my questions and concerns but also very detail oriented which I appreciated :) Will definitely be in touch with Elwynn + Cass for future hair & makeup needs. Thank you, Katelyn!!
I've worked with Elwynn & Cass for the past several years and Katelyn has been perfect since day one. As a luxury wedding and event planner, we work all over the globe. Katelyn has a great team of hair, makeup, beauticians that can deliver any request.
She gets to know and understands the client's vision and needs and recommends the best of the best. Every client has been happy with the final result on the wedding day. Makeup and hair always stays fresh, even after hours of dancing and socializing, my brides look perfect from start to finish.
Katelyn has always gone above and beyond for my clients, not just the brides, but also the grooms, whether adding more artists and people last minute on the wedding day, her team delivers and never complains.
Elwynn and Cass was one of the beauty concierge services referred by our wedding coordinator and they were the only service I contacted. I had a such a positive experience working with Katelyn. She is professional, detail oriented, knowledgeable, and easily accessible. She really listened to my input/preferences regarding the look I was going for and chose the perfect makeup and hair artist for me. She followed up with me after the makeup and hair trial as well. I can tell she really wanted to ensure I felt comfortable and happy with the artist.
Katelyn worked well with our wedding coordinator and helped setup our schedule for the day of our wedding. She offered hair tips beforehand, which was very helpful. I had other people getting their hair and makeup done, which went smoothly. The artists were on time and the costs were handled ahead of time. I really didn’t have to worry about anything. Katelyn took the time to follow up with me afterwards on how the day went. I highly recommend Elwynn and Cass. They take the time to listen to their clients and genuinely want to you to look, as well as feel beautiful for your event.

Oh my gosh this means the world to me. Thank you so much Nerissa! It was an absolute joy to work with you and I am so glad you got the experience you deserved. I just wish we could relive it all over again! xoxo
I'm so glad I chose Elwynn + Cass for my wedding day beauty services! From the first consultation email to the big day, Katelyn was very responsive and informative. She worked hard and found the perfect fit for both hair and makeup--Haley and KC were awesome and talented! Katelyn took care of all the scheduling (for the trial as well as wedding day), so all I had to do was sit back and be pampered! It was such a treat for my bridesmaids and Mom too...everyone looked beautiful! Most of all it was wonderful to have one less "To-Do" on my list. I would highly recommend Elwynn and Cass for your wedding needs!
I used this company to find hair and makeup services for myself and my bridal party for my wedding. I dealt with Katelyn, who was completely clueless. She had no understanding of what I wanted, where I was located, or where my venue was. She asked irrelevant questions, and seemed to assume I lived next door to my venue. We had many e-mail miscommunications, and it seemed like I was dealing with someone who had no experience at all. She couldn't understand why I didn't have unlimited time and driving distance to have a hair and makeup trial. It was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. I was stuck talking to my stylist/artist through Katelyn only, which made everything delayed and more difficult. That being said, I ended up getting a fantastic hair and makeup artist, but this is in no way due to Katelyn or this company. I resented having to go through Katelyn to talk to or pay the artist I had selected, because every time I tried to communicate with her was was a chore!
Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2019
I am sorry that you felt this way Teresa, as I pride myself on making sure everything client has an amazing and stress free experience. I wish you had vocalized any issues or disgruntlement you had during the process, as I would have fixed the ...
situation and made the appropriate adjustments to put you at ease. I tried having the artists come to you for the trial, as they would have been more than happy to provide that ease for you, but you opted to drive to them instead.
I’m glad the artists I set up for you, that were close to your venue to provide ease on the wedding day (and reduced travel fee) made sure you had a great experience overall and you loved the way you looked.
I really procrastinated finding hair and make up :) which is my own fault but I knew it was important to me. from my first email to Katelyn I felt heard, and understood and the customer service was truly amazing. She handled all the contact, heard what I was asking for and coordinated everything for me, all I had to worry about was payment which was all taken care of before hand - making for a super easy, seamless wedding day! Highly recommend !
SUCH a great experience working with Elwynn + Cass!! Initially, I was asked to provide some pictures of what I was hoping for in terms of hair and makeup and my budget.. and Katelyn responded with multiple artists and examples of their work within my price range! It was seriously SO helpful. The trials and my wedding day were so much fun, and my hair and makeup were exactly what I was hoping for. Look no further for a perfect experience!!!
From the very start, Elwynn + Cass manager Katelyn's communication was impeccable. I always felt informed and up-to-date. My artist, Veronica, was amazing. In addition to her skill with hair and makeup, she is instantly likable and so easy to get along with. I really enjoyed working with her and will definitely book her for any future glam-worthy occasions. She also did hair and makeup for my mom and aunt. My mom's hair got SO many compliments and my aunt refused to wash her eyes for two days. (And honestly, her eye makeup and lashes still looked great Sunday morning.)
I’m so glad we decided to use Elwynn and Cass to do hair for myself, my bridemaids and our moms. Katelyn made the process so easy, and we all looked exactly as I envisioned for my wedding! There were 10 of us all together and everyone was ready on time, and their looks lasted all night long! 10/10 would recommend!

I am so glad I was referred to Elwynn & Case! I received makeup from Sana and I could not have been happier with the results. A little about me: I am not a makeup girl and grew up playing sports. On the day-to-day I wear mascara and that is it. Sana was able to give me her expertise and guidance on what she thought would look good without pushing things onto me. From our makeup trial to the actual day, she was extraordinary. She was punctual, kind, knowledgable, but most of all, personable. Your wedding day is stressful enough without having to deal with moody vendors. Sana was funny and made getting ready fun and worry-free. I also worked with Katelyn on setting up all the logistics and payments. So extremely easy to talk to and work with. From start to finish, this was a seamless and awesome experience. I would highly recommend this company for your beauty needs! Thank you for making my day that much more special.

Working with Elwynn + Cass was a dream! The whole process was so easy, stress free and fun. Katelyn was extremely responsive and helpful from day one. Her knowledge and friendliness made me feel so comfortable. My wedding morning glam was amazingly smooth with almost a dozen girls getting hair and makeup - we even finished early! HIGHLY recommend Elwynn + Cass!
Response from the Vendor on 08/09/2019
Aww love this!! You were a dream to work with as well, I just wish we could relive it all over again. xoxo
My wedding planning experience was a little hectic and rushed due to an injury I suffered during the planning process. When it came to figuring out the hair and makeup piece, I felt so stressed and I couldn't quite get a response from anyone. Katelyn picked up the phone after 2 rings the first time I called her. I was so grateful! Katelyn was happy to help me, very organized and always reassuring. Which is exactly what I needed at the time and I assume what most brides need in the planning process. You won't regret working with Katelyn! You can tell she cares and wants the best for you.
Response from the Vendor on 07/26/2019
This means the world to me Danielle! I absolutely loved working with you and am so glad you had the beauty experience you deserved. If you ever need anything, I am here for you! xoxo
My sister actually used Elwynn + Cass for her wedding and I simply had to for mine as well! Although me and my sister's tastes in make-up and hair are quite different, I felt that the stylists and Katelyn did an excellent job of exceeding all expectations. From communicating early on about pricing and small details, to the fun yet professional mannerism of their staff, working with Elwynn + Cass was a dream. I would certainly recommend them for any life events requiring excellent hair and make-up!
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2019
This means the world to me Emily! It was such a pleasure working with you and I am sad it is over. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out! xoxo, Katelyn
The booking process was completely hassle-free with Katelyn. She was very understanding when I said I was doing multiple trials (with different vendors) and kept the artists' date open for me. She was also very responsive and communicative both before and after date.
I had Mandy as my makeup artist and Daniella as my hair stylist. They arrived on time and actually finished ahead of schedule. Daniella also did hair for my bridesmaids and they all liked it (despite initially being suspicious). Mandy and Daniella are also super friendly and professional. My photographer and videographer came in just when they were about to leave and asked them to stay behind posing for "get-ready" photos/videos. Mandy & Daniella stayed behind to pose for photos/videos and made sure they helped as much as they could before leaving.

I love hearing this!! I am so glad you got the experience you deserved! If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out! xoxo, Katelyn
I don’t even know where to begin with how happy I am with Katelyn and the incomparable Elwynn and Cass service! From the first email, she replied promptly and made me feel SO comfortable! She got to know me and what I was looking for and then matched me perfectly to hair and makeup artists for my wedding! Since it was destination, she worked with me for my trial to combine it with when we were already down in Mexico looking at our venue so that we didn’t have to make separate trips!
She was so accommodating, and I honestly felt like I was getting help from a friend...she didn’t make anything feel rushed or pressured. I could tell she honestly just wanted me to feel comfortable and happy on my big day!
I have already recommended her countless times and will continue to do so! I can’t wait to find an excuse to work with her again!!
I had Elwynn & Cass Beauty help me all of my wedding day hair styles for me and my bridesmaids. They were great! The scheduling and payment process was a breeze and very easy to follow. The girls that did our hair were able to look at one or two pictures and then just start. Each of of my girls had a different style so it was nice that they were flexible. My bridal hair came out better than I had imagined. I would definitely recommend them. Not to mention I was getting pretty nervous and they calmed me down with funny stories and kind words.
Katelyn is very responsive and the artists she recommended were great and very accommodating! Reasonable prices as well.
2 hair and make up trials gone wrong and I was convinced I would look like a glammed up freak on my wedding day. Then I was referred to Katelyn and her company Elwynn & Cass. Within days she had sent me photos from various artists, set up a trial date in my own apartment, and assured me that we were in this together and everything would be ok. And ya know what, it was better than ok. Katelyn made it easy to pair me with an artist that fit my style and personality. She was communicative and warm. She was knowledgable about the field she works in and was ready to give advice if needed. She also has a great instagram where she posts Q&A's and lets you in on the latest and greatest from the beauty world. Would recommend time and again!

Oh my gosh Catie! This means the world to me and I loved working with you and making sure you had the experience you deserved. Wish we could do it all over again! xoxo
Katelyn makes everything completely seamless and stress free. I changed my wedding plans and she helped me find hair and makeup artists with less than 6 weeks before my wedding date. It was incredibly easy and the hair and makeup at my wedding was phenomenal. Everyone looked and felt great! I would 100% recommend to every bride, and would totally use the service again.

I absolutely loved helping you and your party and so glad you had the experience you deserved!! xoxo
I was referred to Katelyn, the owner of Elwynn & Cass, through my sister and as soon as I heard that Elwynn & Cass is a ONE STOP SHOP for wedding day styling services, I was sold. The amazing thing about E&C is that you only need to deal with ONE person throughout the planning process, which makes it super easy to coordinate schedules, payments, etc. I had a very large bridal party so the fact that I didn’t have to reach out to each individual stylist to organize the day of, was fantastic and so so so easy. E&C has a team of rock star hair and makeup artists who specialize in bridal/wedding styles which was a huge plus for me to know that someone in my wedding party wouldn’t be walking down the aisle looking like a drag queen. Once I booked, I was given plenty of time to schedule my trial makeup and hair (in my home), and took the opportunity to use the makeup trial for my engagement photos (which came out insanely pretty if I might say so myself) and meet Crystal, who was going to be doing my hair and makeup on my big day. Of course, we became instant pals and I felt super comfortable with her, and my hair and makeup vision, when my wedding day rolled around. Another huge win was the flexibility E&C provided. As you know, there can be many last-minute changes with weddings and they certainly accommodated all of mine. My entire wedding party looked drop dead gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier with the ease and professionalism of Elwynn & Cass!

Oh my gosh this warms my heart so much! Loved working with you and so glad you got the experience you deserved!! xoxo
Katelyn was super responsive and easy to work with from start to finish. I was looking for an artist who had experience working with asian skin before and she found the perfect MUA to work with me. She shared her portfolio, helped with all the communication with my MUA including my trials, questions, feedback and changes which made it so much less stressful on the planning side. I loved my look for the day and my MUA was on time, listened to all my needs and was so friendly. Highly recommend Katelyn to any brides who want a personalized and stress free experience.
Response from the Vendor on 03/09/2019
Aww thank you Diane! This means the world and I am so glad you got the experience you deserved. It was so much fun working with you! If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to reach out!
Karissa at Elwynn + Cass was professional, on time, and so sweet. Even communicating with Katelynn (owner?) was very easy and she was willing and open to working with our crazy schedule for the day. Karissa did beautiful makeup and lashes for my mom, the maid of honor, and other grooms maid in just a few hours. My makeup lasted for the whole day and even through sweaty dancing. Highly recommend!!!

I am so happy to hear that you had the experience you deserved and loved your look! I loved working with you and if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out :)
My best friend used Elwynn + Cass for her wedding, and I got my MOH hair and makeup styled with them. They were awesome! I came in with very few ideas about what I wanted done, and they did my hair and makeup flawlessly. The artists were friendly, easy to talk to, and really good at what they do. My makeup was long lasting and my hair still looked great at the end of the night. Highly recommend Elwynn + Cass!
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2019
I am so glad you had such a great experience!! This means the world to me! xoxo
What an awesome team! Elwynn + Cass was recommended to my by my planner and I'm so grateful! Katelyn talked with me about what kind of style I was going for and matched me with a team of artists who best fit that style! She was right on the money with them - my hair and makeup turned out amazing and the team was a dream to work with.
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2019
I am so happy you had the experience you deserved and I loved working with you!! Just sad it's over now ;) xoxo
Makeup artist Gina was the best! She did a consultation with all of us, making sure she understand our individual preferences, and then made us all even more beautiful for the wedding!
She was a total expert - there was so no way I could have done my own makeup as well, or made sure it lasted as long.
Also, she was a treat to spend time with. Having her spend the wedding day with us felt natural and kind.
I highly recommend this service!
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2019
Love hearing this and so glad you had the experience you deserved! Happy I was able to set Gina up for you and the gals!
Elwynn and Cass was an incredible Beauty Concierge Service to work with for my wedding makeup needs! From the first initial consultation e-mail throughout the Wedding Day, Katelyn was constantly checking in and communicating each step of the process with me! Katelyn set me with KC who came to my house (what? How cool is that?) and did my Bridal Trial. Her technique was amazing and she was so awesome to chat with and made me feel at ease and so comfortable!
There were 11 of us total getting our makeup done the day of my wedding and KC and her assistant ROCKED it! They made a schedule and kept to it and were so fun to be around! My bridesmaids, my mom, and I looked and felt gorgeous thanks to KC and her team!
One thing I really appreciated was that Katelyn sent out reminders on payments and made the payment process easy! When those last few weeks before a wedding can be stressful…her reminders and ease of communication were very appreciated!
Thank you Elwynn and Cass and KC for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/20/2019
Oh my gosh this means the world to me. It was such a pleasure working with you Kate and making sure you had the experience you and your gals deserved. xoxo
Katelyn was such a joy to work with!! I came to her with literally no idea how to deal with my bridal beauty situation. Seven bridesmaids, a flower girl, and a MOB was an overwhelming amount of people for me to plan for. The, Elwynn + Cass to the rescue! She found me the perfect team of experts... Not only were they my style, but they were such a great match personality wise. Thank you so much K!
Response from the Vendor on 02/03/2019
I adored working with you as well Allison! So glad you got the experience you deserved and had a stress free experience :)
My best friend recommended Elwynn + Cass and I’m so glad she did! Wedding planning is stressful enough, and the thought of researching yet another vendor just sounded daunting and overwhelming to me. I reached out to Katelyn and immediately knew I was in great hands! She asked how I wanted to feel on my wedding day, talked to me about my budget, and needs, and matched me with a great hair and makeup artist. She created a beauty timeline for the day of and took all the stress and worry of planning off my hands. Katelyn’s response time and organization was phenomenal! She also would be prepared to find comparable artists if your original hair/makeup artist fell through (this did not happen to me, but gave me a peace of mind knowing someone else would figure it out if need be). Ladies, do yourself a favor and hire Elwynn + Cass and sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty planning process! I am so incredibly thankful I did!
I am so very grateful for Elwynn + Cass! I looked absolutely stunning and loved everything from my hair to my makeup on my wedding day! When I had a hair emergency the morning of my wedding, Katelyn from Elwynn + Cass stepped in and smoothed out everything and the crisis was averted--I looked even better than I could have ever imagined! They went above and beyond to ensure that I was completely satisfied with how I looked and felt, and I was so confident that I left all nerves behind and looked radiant in all of our wedding photos. For that, I am sincerely appreciative of all that Elwynn + Cass did to make my wedding look absolute perfection.

It was my pleasure to be part of this experience with you Mallory!! You know if you ever need anything I am here for you!
Katelyn is the sweetest! She did such a wonderful job finding the perfect person to do my day of wedding make-up! Due to traveling from out of state, I was unable to have a trial session, but it wasn’t even needed! I was able to send over pictures of exactly what I was looking for, and my make-up artist was able to achieve exactly that. I felt so natural with a little hint of glam on my wedding day. My husband was so happy that he could still see my freckles too! I am so thankful for Katelyn and her wonderful team for making my wedding day so special. I felt beautiful! If you’re looking for a beauty team to help you achieve your perfect wedding look, this is THEE one! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Katelyn and the team at Elwynn + Cass were so incredibly easy to work with. They were spot-on with the stylists they chose, were so accommodating and prompt, and really went out of their way to make sure my entire wedding party was well taken care of. I’m so glad they were our stylists and highly recommend them!

This makes me so happy to hear! Loved working with you and so glad you got the experience you deserved :)
Working with E+C was the best decision! They removed my stress of worrying about if my prospects were qualified artist bc they only hire qualified artists. I was matched with an artist that met my budget and style preference. E+C was quick to respond to my questions and really helped me figure out how I wanted to do my Ha/mu. Thank you Katelyn for all of your help! I looked fabulous on my big day!!!!

Oh my gosh it was my pleasure Leslie!! I loved working with you and making sure you got the experience you deserved! xoxo
Working with Katelyn at Elwynn + Cass was a dream! After a contract with another makeup/hair artist fell apart, I was scrambling to find alternative artists on short notice. My wedding planner suggested I try Elwynn + Cass, and I'm so glad I did! Katelyn responded immediately and professionally. I felt confident that she could secure makeup and hair for myself and 9 other ladies. It was wonderful using a concierge service, she took the stress out of finding and booking artists. I absolutely loved the artists she chose for me, and I could not be happier with the hair and makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding! Thank you!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2018
It was my absolute pleasure and I adored working with you!! You deserved the best experience! Just sad it's over. xoxo
Katelyn is a true gem! I know that I can confidently send my brides her way and she'll take total care of them! She's super organized and on top of it and I never have to worry! She has the best team and they keep everyone on time, which is a coordinators dream! I'd recommend Elwynn and Cass a million times over! THE best!
Danielle and Mandy are amazing artists! They took my assorted inspiration pictures and brought them to life in the best way possible, while still making me feel like myself on my big day. A little spendy, but totally worth every penny. Both my hair and makeup lasted the entire day, even on a warm August afternoon!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2018
I am so glad you had the experience and the quality you deserved for your wedding day! If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to reach out!! xo
This team was phenom. Start to finish. I live in LA - married in Coronado( SD)
I needed a trial run and my H+MU stylist (Hayley) drove up in killer traffic to my house to make sure we got the look down. Katelyn is the most responsive ( so key) sweet and accommodating person you’ll ever deal with. Her team of highly trained, fun loving specialists - hair and make-up- will come in, make you feel comfy and taken care of, but most of all will Listen and beautify you on the best day of your life!! I love them all and highly suggest using this team. ❤️

This means the world to me! I loved working with you and wanted you to have the best experience possible, as you should. So glad I got to work with you! xoxo
Consider Elwynn & Cass your one stop shop for all things beauty! From the very start, Katelyn was amazing and made the entire process seamless and stress free. What would have taken me hours of researching through social media took no time at all. Katelyn is so professional and so easy to work with. Not only is she amazing herself, she found the sweetest & most talented make up artist to help me look and feel flawless on my wedding day! My only regret is not being able to take advantage of their full blow travel beauty bar in their Elwynn & Cass airstream! Be sure to ask about it when you book them as your wedding day (any event really) beauty concierge!

Oh this means the world to me! It was amazing working with you and so glad we got to be part of your special day! xoxo
I worked with Katelyn to find a makeup artist for my two bridesmaids and me at my wedding. Katelyn was nice, professional, responsive, and found me a great artist, Meghan. Katelyn set up a makeup trial for me in the months before the wedding, created a timeline so both Meghan and I knew when and where to be, and made payment super easy. I definitely recommend Katelyn and Elwynn + Cass to everyone!

Thank you!! You are too sweet and I absolutely adored working with you! xoxo
Where to start with Elwynn + Cass!
As another vendor (professional photographer), I'm always very happy to work with E+C. Katelyn is not only extremely personable and the ultimate problem solver, but she's also very kind and will ALWAYS go the extra mile (for both her clients and friends). As a client and a vendor, the entire wedding process is very difficult because of all of the moving pieces, but because of Katelyn's work ethic, attention to detail, experience, and insanely talented team, E+C eliminates all of the moving pieces with beauty, which allows for a stress-free timeline on my end and some amazingly photogenic clients (which always makes less editing time for me as well!).
Katelyn and her amazing team of artists are literally one of a kind and I cannot recommend them enough.
Katelyn's service is extremely useful - I highly recommend it! I am newer to the area where I got married and didn't know how or who to get in touch with regarding hair and make up for my wedding. Katelyn was able to pair me with the best hair and make up artists for myself and my gorgeous bridal party and mother. All of us felt and looked our best thanks to Katelyn's talented team. Katelyn made the process so easy by taking my vision and suggestions to heart when pairing me with trial artists. She also helped my out of town family members plan their make up and hair with other artists on her team. Her company is extremely unique and 100% worth it as she was very accommodating, quick to respond to emails, and incredibly organized. You must book Elwynn + Cass!

Oh my gosh you are the absolute sweetest Caroline! This means the world to me, and it was my pleasure to help!! I'm just sad it's over now.
Katelyn made my job so easy! I had reached out to several vendors who were already booked. Being in Colorado and getting married in California, I was unable to do a trial and also didn’t know where the “go to” places were! I was starting to get stressed out! But she literally made it SO easy. I didn’t have to do much at all! My hair turned out exactly how I wanted it and I was ready early! The artist was at my hotel room on time and had all the tools. She also changed my style from a braid to a twist on a whim. I definitely recommend their service! Everything is so simple from scheduling to even paying gratuity beforehand so you literally have to worry about nothing on your wedding day!

It was my pleasure to help Paige! It was so fun working with you and so glad you got the experience you deserved!
Their professionalism is excellent! I absolutely appreciate their professionalism, skills, and ability to assist if/when challenges arise. Our make-up artist did a phenomenal job, everyone looked stunning with make-up that lasted well into the next morning! Their hair stylist was also fantastic, she did a great job working under a tight time frame. Everyone was so beautiful.
Response from the Vendor on 10/15/2018
Oh this means the world to me, thank you so much! Absolutely loved working with you! xoxo
Elwynn + Cass were incredibly responsive even answering emails on the 4th of July, which I was not expecting! She went above and beyond and even sent me earrings as a small gift. The hair and make up people who came were fantastic and even went ahead of schedule. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/15/2018
Oh Diana this just warms my heart! It was my pleasure to help any way that I could and make this experience exactly as it should be for you! xo
I had the BEST experience working with this company! Katelyn made sure I was in amazing hands, she was so kind and always answered my emails right away! My hair and make up turned out more beautiful than I ever imagined. If you want to look beautiful on your wedding day I highly recommend contacting Katelyn!

Absolutely loved working with you Johnna and this means so much! Thank you for your kind words! xoxo
Katelyn is a gem! She has the best heart. I was nervous about finding the right person for hair and makeup and Katelynn made the entire process so easy. She had excellent communication and set me up with the most amazing beauty service. Myself and my bridal was able to experience her artists that provided hair and makeup on my wedding day. The entire team made us feel so beautiful! They were set up, ready to go making the whole morning stress-free and very comfortable. There was already a prearranged schedule for the order of which bridesmaids received their service (which was crazy awesome). They took the time to listen to each client and understand the specific look they were hoping for. My artist was Courtnay Schafer. Katelyn set me up with a trail before the wedding. It was SO FUN, my makeup was a bit more heavy than I had hoped for the wedding. It was important to me that I looked very natural, but put together with a glowey touch! Courtnay made this happen the day of! I was beyond thankful for my makeup. It was beautiful and I felt like the stunning bride that you hope to be! I provided her 5-8 pictures of messy up-dos for inspiration, and she took elements from all of them to create the PERFECT look! She even arranged little flowers in my hair that added a sweet little bohemian detail to my very modern look. My overall looked was exactly what I hoped for, and my groom loved it too :) He was so nervous I would have makeup caked on, but it was nothing of the sort!! The entire team worked so efficiently. They were affirming and made each girl feel like the best version of themselves. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL for Katelynn and her artists! Say yes and experience their wonderful talent! You won't regret it! MUCH LOVE TO ELWYNN + CASS! I am hoping to use them in the future!

Oh my gosh Michelle!! This warms my heart so much!! Thank you, it was an absolute pleasure to help you and make your day as special as it should be! If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out! xoxoxo
I was having a hard time finding someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding that was in my price range and didn't require a minimum. I found Elwynn + Cass and never heard of a beauty concierge service, but I am so glad I reached out to them. Katelyn was great at responding quickly and found me a hair stylist and makeup artist that fit exactly what I needed. There was a small hiccup with the hair stylist on my wedding day, which luckily my mother kept me uninvolved with until after the wedding. I reached out to Katelyn to express my frustration and she dealt with it immediately and in a very professional way. I would definitely recommend using Elwynn + Cass if you want to find beauty services with no stress and great communication.
Response from the Vendor on 07/23/2018
I loved working with you Bethany and you know if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out! I will be here for you any way that you need and making sure you are not stressed ;)
I had a destination wedding in Julian, California and my coordinator recommended Elwynn + Cass Beauty for hair and make-up. Katelyn and her team, Danielle and Mandy, were absolutely amazing to have as part of my wedding! Katelyn did an excellent job coordinating everything, from scheduling trial make-up + hair all the way to the wedding day! Myself and my bridal team could not be more happier with our looks:) Thank you so much!

I am so glad you had an amazing experience. It was my pleasure to help! xoxo
Amazing! I had a disaster with a different beauty artist who fell through and Katelyn saved the day and assured me that they could help! Elwynn + Cass was just an awesome experience. Great customer service, a thoughtful gift, sweet messages throughout the planning process, and Hannah and Courtney who actually did my hair and makeup were so fun and SO good at what they do--knowledge of what they think is best as well as 100% making what my vision was come to life!
Response from the Vendor on 07/04/2018
This just warms my heart! It was my absolute pleasure to help and to make your day and the process leading up to it as smooth as it should be! xo, Katelyn
Katelyn was AMAZING to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. She listened to the look and vibe I wanted for my wedding in Temecula and she delivered a fabulous hair + makeup team, The Pretty Parlor. We even worked with Katelyn to have the groom and groomsmen get ready with hair cuts and a straight shave in a remodeled streamliner! It was great giving the guys a unique experience and my husband was super pleased with the barber services :)
At first, I wasn't sure if I needed a concierge for hair + makeup since you could usually go to a salon or makeup artist directly. But I'm glad I went with my gut feeling because Katelyn is there for you 100% if anything comes up, which did happen. I had a small church ceremony in San Diego two days before the wedding in Temecula and in the week leading up to it, the original hair + makeup team had a scheduling conflict and wanted to reschedule which wouldn't have worked with mine. It was the last thing I wanted to deal with but Katelyn was there to save the day and find another hair + makeup artist that fit my style last minute. Katelyn is extremely professional, friendly, and responsive. She makes sure you feel pampered and special not only for your wedding day, but in the days leading up to it. I highly recommend her services to every bride!
Katelyn is a quick responder, a GREAT problem solver, and someone you want during wedding time. She is warm, friendly, and professional while making you feel like you’re the focus and anything is possible. Katelyn quickly helped me find a hairstylist within my budget and in my area because I was really struggling on my own. Katelyn is a great example of how you run a company and how you grow your company. The customer service is out of this world!! Thank you for everything!!
