Emily and her team were INCREDIBLE hair and makeup artists on my wedding day. They exceeded our expectations and accentuated everyone’s beauty. Everyone loved their look! My wedding hair & makeup turned out amazing! So clean, spotless, and bridal. They were so easy to work with! Definitely recommend
Emily was absolutely amazing!! She is extremely responsive and professional. She was so kind and helpful through the entire experience. Definitely recommend!!
Emily was fantastic! On my wedding day, she was able to provide beautiful, long lasting looks for me, my bridal party, and my mother. She had a great sense of what we were looking for and she was super patient and helpful - going above and beyond to help create the perfect look. Thank you so much for everything!
I needed 5 services in total for my wedding and had a hard time finding someone who would come on-site to me because it was too few. Emily made the process straight forward and worked with me to plan exactly what I needed. My artist Karli was so sweet and delivered exactly what I was looking for, making the perfect adjustments from the trial. Thank you Emily and Karli for helping to make my day special!
Emily and Karli were beyond words! I live in Michigan and got married in Florida. I flew down almost a year in advance for my makeup trial because I had seen so many bad experiences. I left my trial and was SO impressed I did not worry at all. She was great with communicating and called and emailed whenever I had questions.
The day of my MIL was SO nervous as she has never had professional hair and make up. Everyone looked SO amazing and Emily and Karli were beyond nice. I cannot recommend them enough. Do not hesitate! Call Emily NOW!
Emily did a fabulous job! She was great to talk to and wasn't phased that I failed to send her an example of the makeup I wanted. I gave a brief summary of "natural, soft, romantic" and she completed my makeup as requested. We don't have our photos back yet but top notch service!
Emily was so informative & super sweet! She was very flexible with the styles and made me feel so comfortable! We even had a few different trials because I couldn’t decide & she was so patient and helpful! I also had a bad acne flare up before my wedding and she knew just what to do to calm my skin down & cover it with the make up. I looked absolutely FLAWLESS all night long💕💕💕 I am super thankful she was my MUA & we be using her services in the future.
From the moment Emily and I met, I knew I had hired the right person for our wedding! Not only does she have a wealth of knowledge and experience but I immediately felt comfortable and knew I was in great hands. My mom, maid of honor and I, all felt beautiful and confident on the big day as Emily and her team helped turn my inspirations into reality! I would definitely hire her again for any event I may need hair and makeup for in the future. Thank you again for helping make a morning that could be filled with jitters into a relaxing time full of laughter with the girls! Don’t hesitate ladies…contact Emily today!
What a great team! Initial setup was a breeze, Emily was responsive and helpful. I was booking pretty close to my wedding date but she was able to accommodate me. I got connected with Pam who was such a pleasure to work with! So sweet, caring and understanding. She spent ample time on my trial appointment and knocked it out of the park with my hair! I liked my makeup but it wasn’t quite reflective of me but Pam was totally open to my edit requests. On my actual wedding day, she somehow made my hair look even better than the trial and totally nailed the makeup look I was going for. I am so grateful to have found this team…thank you EMV Beauty!
Emily went above and beyond on making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She also gave me tips for skin and hair products. I recommend doing a hair and makeup trial to determine exactly what you want. I changed up my makeup a little bit and it turned out perfect. My boho braid was so beautiful and I loved her idea of incorporating fresh baby’s breathe.
I had no idea what I wanted to do for makeup on my wedding day but I knew I needed someone who could take what ideas I had and make them a reality. EMV is the real deal! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for wedding or event makeup. She made me feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. She was kind, helpful and so knowledgeable on all things hair and make up. Hire her for your event and you will not be sorry!
Emily did a fantastic job on my & my girls' hair for the big day! She was easy to communicate with and awesome to spend time with. I'm so thankful we found her!
MY GLAM QUEEN – I was referred to Emily by my wedding planner and was looking for a Latina who could transform me into a stunning bride and make my wedding party feel and look incredible. I had my hair trial with Emily on the day of my bridal shower and she did just that! She even made my mother feel comfortable, who has never styled her hair for an event. This meant a lot. From the trial, there were a few changes I wanted to have for my hair on wedding day and Emily was able to take the changes and give me the EXACT look I was going for – glam Hollywood waves. We jazzed it up with pearls and I felt like a classy bride. The compliments on my hair were endless. My wedding party were also styled beautifully as Emily and her assistant, Jenni, collaborated to keep 8 ladies on time! Emily has great energy when styling a group and I would HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding 😊
Karli did an amazing job taking the time to do a hair trial and then helped me create my dream hair for my wedding! Not only is she sweet and personable but everyone looked amazing! Thank you Karli!
Y’all, if there is any hesitation to book Emily let me tell you to literally drop everything and book her now. Honestly getting my makeup done with Emily was probably one of my favorite part of my entire wedding day.
She made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also just the sweetest human alive. You can not love this girl, she’s amazing sweet, funny, and you will want to be her best friend. I promise I’m not being dramatic haha.
I can not sing Emily’s praises enough!!
Emily was the absolute best hair and makeup professional to work with up to and during our wedding day! Between the inspiration pictures I provided and two hair trials I booked, she really took the time to help me try out different styles and get over my indecisiveness. The final look was EXACTLY what I've envisioned, and I was completely blown away by Emily's talent. Her kindness and personable nature also made the experience from trials to wedding day so wonderful! I couldn't recommend EMVBeauty enough, and I now know exactly who I would book for future events.
Emily was punctual, friendly, very pleasant, and did a great job! I received compliments all day on my hair and makeup.
All brides looking for an amazing person to do hair for your big day, you found your girl. Emily did my hair trial and wedding day hair (for myself- bride & bridesmaids). She did an amazing job in listening to exactly what I was looking for, giving advice for how to make my curls last longer prior to the wedding, and making us all laugh and feel like we had been friends for years. She showed up on time, everyone was so happy with her work, and my curls didn’t fall all night ( 12 hour day) . Thank you Emily!!
Emily and her team were amazing the morning of our wedding. We had a party of twelve women all for hair and makeup and everyone was on-time, professional, efficient and did an absolutely fantastic job. If you choose EMV Beauty for your big day, you will not be disappointed.
Emily did such a FANTASTIC job on myself and my wedding party!! I knew from my first conversation with her that she was the person I wanted as my Hair and Makeup artist, and she brought my dream of a long, intricate braid for my wedding day to life! My bridesmaids and my mother looked fantastic as well, and she is the sweetest person and most attentive to detail that I've seen! She truly made my wedding hair and makeup dreams come true!
She did beautiful makeup on both myself and my bridesmaids. I would definitely use her again for events in the future.
Ever since I’ve been knowing that Emily started doing make up & hair I always said— I want Emily to do my hair and make up for my wedding day when the day comes. Well the day arrived on March 26, 2022. I was so EXTREMELY happy and thankful for Emily and her amazing team. From the make up and hair trial to the day of the wedding. Emily is such a sweetheart, she literally delivered to perfection what I wanted for my hair and make up. We got ready since 10 a.m and when I say my hair and make up lasted the FULL day & night— I mean it. If any bride is looking for a amazing experience for your wedding day or a special event I recommend Emily and her team 10/10. They make you feel so comfortable and so beautiful. Emily thank you so much for the amazing experience you gave myself, my bridesmaids and my husbands and I mothers’. If you are looking for a MUA for any special events book Emily and her team, you will love it 🤍
Emily and her beauty team were the perfect choice to make sure my bridal party looked amazing. I had so many compliments on my hair and make up. She was easy to reach, professional and accommodating. I don’t like the feeling of a lot of make up, so I did two trials with her to find the style I liked best. For someone who only wears mascara and fills in their eyebrows, it was different wearing a full face. Emily was able to apply light coverage to make my face smooth for photos, but not hide my freckles. I highly recommend her company.
Emily and her team were AMAZING for my wedding day. They did all of our makeup (we all ranged in different skin types, hair color, eye color, dress colors), and they nailed every one. Each girl is very selective with what they like, and they listened to each girl’s likes and dislikes. Everyone truly felt like their natural selves were just enhanced. We can’t thank y’all enough for the amazing work and sweet dispositions! 🥰
Emily was very helpful and did a great job with hair and makeup. She was super flexible as family asked to be added last-minute or had other artists cancel with them.
Emily, thank you SO much for making myself and my bridal party look and feel beautiful! You are the best!
Absolutely love our makeup and hair for my wedding day! Such a sweet soul and very professional! I would recommend to anyone getting married for a destination wedding in or around the Sarasota area! I couldn't thank her enough for making me feel so gorgeous on my special day!
Emily and her team are absolutely wonderful. They did all our hair and makeup for my wedding day and accommodated so many of our special requests and last minute changes! Emily made us feel so special that day and she is also just a kind and bright person to be around. You will not be disappointed!! Love you Em!
Emily went above and beyond for us. She not only made us look more beautiful and feel more confident than ever, she was THE sweetest soul and had a very calming presence. She was in the middle of doing my hair when our photographer cancelled @ 11:30am with a 5pm ceremony time. She contacted someone she knew, showed me her pictures and had not only someone lined up for us within an hour, someone FANTASTIC lined up for us within the hour. She went above and beyond for us and I will forever be grateful for her. She is AMAZING!
My husband and I were married on 12/3/21 in Venice, FL. We were so fortunate with perfect weather, closest out of town friends, local delicious food, and our dearest family. But, without Emily (EMV Beauty) the day just would not have been the same. From Massachusetts, as a gift, my Maid of Honor surprised me with Emily’s services just by a quick, easy Google search. Her business came highly recommended, with several accommodating options for services that truly eliminated a lot of “day-of” stressors. Not that we had a crazy, doozy of a day, but I will say Emily keeps her cool and totally knows how to chill out a bride!
Everything about the process, from the initial booking to the trial through to our wedding day, was simple, logical, transparent, and absolutely beautiful. As the bride, I had my hair and makeup done. My hair is fine and not very long, so I knew I needed extensions. I purchased my own, but Emily helped point me in the right direction, and helped get them in the best condition to match my hair; she even called in a friend for consultation!
My makeup was flawless, and my face eats make up. Emily listened to my specific concerns about my skin (it’s so complicated), recommended some lovely products to try leading up to the day, and adjusted to feedback to accommodate me. Emily listened to how I wanted to appear as natural as possible, but still with enough to pick up in photographs. Emily was very detail oriented, accommodating and a true professional.
Emily takes great pride in her work. She emanates it through her punctuality, conversation (such a kind, genuine person!), appearance, thoroughness, and obvious dedication to her craft.
She also did my MOH’s makeup, and my bonus daughter’s hair and makeup. Each of us with different skin types, colors, and conditions she absolutely nailed it.
I will be recommending her to anyone who asks, for events but also routine hair needs.
100 stars for EMV Beauty <3
I hired Emily for hair and makeup for my destination wedding. Because I live in Michigan, I didn’t have the opportunity to have a trial beforehand. That made me a little nervous but I trusted Emily and her previous work. I used hair extensions for some length since I have short hair and she did an incredible job making my hair look natural. The makeup looked flawless too. Emily is so sweet and kind and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! You will not regret hiring her!
Emily and her team were everything I'd hoped they would be! Emily is very professional, punctual and prepared, but she is also super friendly, very funny and beautiful inside and out. I asked her where to leave a review because I hope more and more people use her services for their big day and important events. I had a flawless look and I cried so many tears throughout the day, but my makeup stayed all evening and into the morning hours. My hair was a big updo were complex looks and she copied it to a tee! Could'nt recommend her more!
Emily is amazing! We sent her ideas on the hair and makeup that we were going for and she totally nailed it!! My bridesmaids and I looked and felt so glamorous on the day of my wedding, and it lasted all night long. Not only does she do great work, but she's so easy to work with. She was very responsive and her warm personality put us all at ease. I'm so happy to have found Emily and would highly recommend EMV.
Emily and her team did an absolutely amazing job accommodating all of my ladies needing hair and makeup on the wedding day. She was excellent with her communication, and executed everything beautifully. My sisters and I said that we had never felt prettier than that day. Emily and her team did a fabulous job with my nieces (5yo and 4yo) hair and makeup as well. We truly couldn't recommend her and her team enough!! It was an amazing experience.
I can’t say enough good things! She was an absolute godsend, and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. 2 minutes into my trial I was ready to book her just on her energy alone. I did 5 other hair and makeup trials and none of them even came close to how beautiful I looked and felt walking out of her salon. My makeup was beautiful, but my hair absolutely stole the show. I got more compliments on my hair than probably any other part of the wedding. I really can’t say enough good things and I will be recommending her to every future bride I know.
Beautiful person and great work! She made me feel pampered, care free and confident. She is hands down the best in the area. Affordable, and reliable. She is professional and sweet. After the weeding we even keep in touch still. She used products that did not weigh you down or feel caked on. Her technique made the makeup look natural and defined. It lasted all night( and my wedding was a late party). Thank you Emily!
Let me start by saying that Emily is just simply the best! She’s so sweet and kind and super easy to work with! She’s very professional and so passionate about her work. Emily has done my makeup for all of my special events. She’s my go to person every time I need makeup services. If you’re in need of a makeup artist and/or someone to do your hair don’t hesitate! Just book her!
