janie rocek // artist + stylist + designer

ay she blew my socks off. I had a particular vision in mind (as most brides do) but did a terrible job putting that vision into words. Janie asked a few simple questions, looked at a few photos and executed my "vision" flawlessly at the trial. A few weeks before the wedding (after my trial) I left my final dress fitting wanting something a bit different than we had originally done at the trial. She was so open to the changes and again pulled them off without a flaw. I received SO many compliments on my hair and make-up. My bridesmaids, my mom and mother in law have since been raving about Janie nonstop as well. Not only does she do wonderful work, she was so nice to have around on wedding morning. She is exceptionally easy going, go with the flow and kind. She felt like one of the girls from the very beginning and is a calm, breath of fresh air. From a logistics stand point she is exceptionally organized which was very helpful. She put together a timeline to keep us on track and on schedule. She even had a member of her team steaming our dresses which was amazing! Janie is a woman of many talents! Not only did she have my wedding party looking fabulous, she also hand painted the most beautiful map of Vail with special custom icons for our events. We attached them to our welcome gifts and they were such a hit! We now have the original framed in our home and will treasure it forever. I cannot recommend Janie enough, we feel so lucky that we had the opportunity to work with her.

honor. Love her personality and positive energy. Really enjoyed having her be a part of my wedding day!

ted! Being from out of state and doing a destination wedding it was important for me to find someone that were easy to work with and trustworthy because most of all our contact was via phone. Janie went above and beyond to be accommodating to my schedule and it was a pleasure to work with her. I swear her and her team felt like they were part of the family day of when we were all getting ready. They make you feel 100% comfortable to speak up if you want a change or do something a little different then what you might of originally requested. She also helped style all my photos day of, which turned out amazing. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Thanks Janie for making my wedding day so fun!

but also on the 15 other women who she helped get "wedding ready" for on my wedding day. I received compliments all night - even after my updo started to fall out a bit after the ceremony! She will do a wonderful job and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful on their wedding day.

xpertise (even when I changed my mind at the last minute). The hair styling was perfect and I looooved my makeup. I actually bought some of the products she had used. I couldn't have been happier with the look she gave me on the best day of my life :)

a trial a few weeks before the wedding to perfect the hairstyle I wanted, and she recreated exactly what I had researched! On the wedding day, she came on time, brought an awesome gift pack to keep me fresh throughout the night, and we had a relaxed morning of getting ready. I couldn't have asked for a better, more personalized experience.

kes her someone you look forward to working with and someone you can confide your wedding stress in! We insisted on taking her with us to Mexico for our wedding, and she exceeded every expectation. Every time I look at our glorious photos (her husband is THE best photographer) I am grateful that we hired her and that she took the time to really listen to what I wanted. You will not regret doing business with Janie Rocek!

dal party and the mothers to relax in a hotel room and drink bubbly while we all got ready. I found Janie through The Knot local vendor reviews and contacted her through her website. We cliqued instantly when we met, I was able to point out styles and looks from her blog that I loved for my trial. She was able to accommodate my trial to coincide with my mother and aunt's visit, even though it was far in advance of the wedding itself. During the trial she made sure all of us enjoyed the final look, and then took a lot of photos in different lighting to make sure it still looked fantastic. Right before the wedding she contacted me to see if I wanted any changes to the look. She also supplied a schedule breakdown for getting ready and came prepared with a second artist to help with my large group of girls. We had so much FUN! There was music, laughing, the bridal party popped a bottle of bubbly...Janie kicked major booty with everyone's make-up and hair requests from french twists, sexy cat-eyes, big lashes, romantic up-dos, and even channeling Bettie Paige. Everyone looked gorgeous. Janie followed us through the pictures and ceremony, touching us up and fixing my veil/train. She even kept watch over the boys (some of the pocket squares needed a skilled hand!). Booking Janie Rocek was one of the better decisions for my wedding day, I highly advise any Colorado bride to let Janie Rocek be a part of your day!

true eye for beauty and is so talented. She helped keep my hem nice from stickers (mountain wedding), she touched me up all night, she made the whole experience amazing for me and my girls. We had a blast getting ready- let me tell you she comes prepared! You will be taking care of on your day with this lovely lady. If I could get my beauty done by her everyday- I WOULD!

. Just looking through Janie's previous weddings that she'd styled had me sold but after talking to her on the phone I felt completely at ease, she is so nice and down to earth. We only had her for makeup because I am a hairstylist and had my coworkers for our hair but would have had Janie do that as well in a heartbeat! She is so talented in so many ways, I completely trusted her to do what she thought best, if you look at her work you'll see why! I didn't have time for a trial run but had no worries that she would make us looking nothing short of amazing. My mother was not so sure about having her makeup done but I insisted and she loved it! As well as my bridesmaids, I know as a it's typical for the wedding party to be told how nice they look on a wedding day but we seriously had so many compliments on our makeup! I can honestly say that day is the most beautiful I've ever felt. Thank you Janie!!!

e has a great eye for detail, but a great instinct for when something doesn't really need to be fixed. I felt so lucky and honored to have Janie by my side on my big day. She is such a calm, friendly, wonderful person. She put all of my bridesmaids at ease-- from the one who never wears makeup to the one who is extremely particular and allergic to a lot of makeup. She even put our moms, who also never wear makeup, at ease. She did an amazing job of making the makeup look very natural-- especially on those who don't normally wear it. Everyone looked like themselves! Janie is also a master at hair. I felt really comfortable asking her to make changes, and she executed them amazingly-- even better than what I had imagined! She was so great to work with on all fronts, and I was so happy to be around her for the majority of my wedding day!

Janie has a great ability to not only hear the brides wishes, but contribute to the creative thought and bring the brides dream to life. Her attention to the little details during the dressing for the ceremony as well as photos is simply outstanding. She caught and corrected little things in how clothing may have been laying or a simple hair out of place that we didn't even see and made a huge difference in every photo and memory being absolutely perfect. Strong quality work with a great personality. I highly recommend Janie.

up with ideas for styling, makeup, and hair or she can reference pictures the client brings in and make the necessary changes needed to make sure the looks great on the client. Janie really allowed for my friends, family, and myself look great for my wedding day. I not only used Janie for my wedding but engagement and family pictures. Janie is truly talented and can make you feel confident in any look she creates.

and talented, but she is also a joy to be around! She made the morning of our wedding so much fun, it was such a treat to have her apart of our big day. My bridesmaids RAVED about how much they loved the work Janie did and the rest of my family was equally as impressed. She was able to get my vision perfectly and my hair and makeup lasted all night. The second you meet her, you will love her. She has a wonderful presence that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed...what more could you want for your wedding day!

d makeup, I knew she was the one. She was also super professional and cool on the phone, and I was left feeling great with every conversation. I had so much fun with her for the bridal trial and then day of with all my girlfriends. Everyone looked stunning and I still can't believe how incredible my hair turned out. I truly felt like a princess for the day. I also want to point out that she truly listens to what you want and does not intimidate you - if you want lighter looking makeup, she'll do that! I love how she told me she was going to try something out during the trial, but if I didn't like to let her know. I felt so comfortable with Janie!! Thanks, Janie...you rock and you were a big part of making my wedding so memorable. LOVED my hair and makeup. P.S. Her husband, Marcus Edwards, is an amazing photographer as well - we used him for our wedding too! Their little family is so adorable.

gards to my wedding and all of them either never returned my call or said I was booking too far in advance...what?? Give a bride a break, I was trying to be on top of it! But Janie returned my call and we discussed my ideas and desires for my wedding day look. She put my date down in her planner and told me she would pencil me in until I knew if I wanted to commit. How GREAT! That gave me such a sense of relief to know I had options and that she was committed to me! Needless to say, I made my deposit a few days later and invested in her services! We scheduled my trial for a few months prior to the wedding because of my crazy schedule and Janie was more than accommodating. I admittedly realized that maybe I wanted a different look and Janie totally went with it and took my comments and needs to heart and made me feel like a beauty queen on the day of my wedding. I'm not kidding- I had people tell me I looked like a beauty queen! :) Thank you Janie for taking the time to make me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day! And for going with the flow when I had such a hard time deciding exactly how I wanted to look!

h bridal attendants request, for both hair and make-up, with stunning results!! It was a true pleasure to have Janie work her magic and share my daughters wedding day with us!!

our daughter, Aubrey. I so appreciate that Janie has even more attention to detail than me! We enjoyed a fabulous wedding day for Aubrey and Kyle, in large part to Janie and Chesney. Janie’s knowledge and experience with hair, makeup, and weddings provided much needed guidance as to the pre-ceremony prep process and timeline. Janie and Chesney were wonderful to work with on the wedding day – fun and focused at the same time. The results were spectacular! The bride and her bridesmaids were stunning! Janie’s presence for the photos was priceless – again, her attention to detail ensured Aubrey’s dress, veil, hair, and makeup were perfect for each photo. She also kept an eye on the wedding party and family members as well to ensure nothing was out of place. Janie is worth every dollar for a mother of the bride’s peace of mind! We loved getting to know Janie and Chesney and will wish for a reason to use their services again!

She is FABULOUS to work with and also someone who is very professional but very personable! She also has an amazing team!

ld do more than stick a flower/curls/headband in my short hair, and I could connect with! I found all of that and more with Janie. She was referenced to me by our amazing photographers because of their work together on styled shoots and weddings. I had met so many at bridal shows, but no one even came close to Janie. We met over coffee and discussed our wedding. Almost immediately I knew "she was the one" just like the dress and of course my husband! She is personable, easy to talk to, extremely passionate and dedicated to her craft, CREATIVE, and FUN! Her work speaks for itself and is TOTALLY worth it. She made me AND my wedding party, including our mothers, look absolutely stunning! My hair was a bit of a challenge - short haired bride, but she made it look better than I could have imagined and BETTER than my inspiration pics. Her use of color and texture really highlighted everyone's natural beauty and pulled the look together. We all felt more beautiful than ever! She is worth every penny!!! Without a doubt Janie is the best wedding hair and make-up stylist around - believe I shopped around and met stylist who came highly recommended - JANIE TAKES THE CAKE!

ing to what I wanted. Because of her knowledge/passion of styling she was able to perfectly match my look to the overall style of my wedding. I was very impressed with Janie's innate ability to incorporate her skills and expertise with my vision to create the perfect look for my day. My hair and makeup lasted through snow, pictures and the ENTIRE night. Janie is reasonably priced and I definitely got my moneys worth. If you are looking for a true professional, who knows how to make you feel beautiful and that you can afford, Janie is the hair and makeup artist for you! I can't thank you enough Janie, I genuinely appreciate the time you took for me. Alyssa :)

wording on the invitations, and finding the perfect pair of shoes. This should not be the case. They are, in my mind, as important as choosing the perfect dress. I am so grateful that the ladies that did my flowers highly recommended Janie. She is one incredible gal inside and out. Her experience, her personality, and attention to detail blows my mind! Janie brought out even more beauty of the most loved women in my life, handling every personality from age six to seventy as if they were the most important person of the day. She was understanding, listened to the diverse requests from all nine of us, and worked her but off non-stop from 8am on to the evening. Janie stood with me before I walked down the isle making sure I looked perfect. I felt amazing, and Janie was the one that made me glow even brighter. She was there, but was also so aware of the importance of the moment. She has full respect of boundaries. Janie's talent goes beyond hair and makeup. I hired her as my wedding stylist, and she was even the 2nd photographer (her husband, Marcus Edwards, did our photos!). The details of the name plates, candy bar, programs, thank you cards, I Spy card, signage, bar menu, was ALL her creative brilliance. She was able to take my frantic last minute visions and turn them into rustic elegance on the most beautiful, fun, amazing day of my life. Her ideas for pictures are among some of my favorites. I honestly can't say enough about Janie! She is so talented, kind, and professional, and I was one super lucky bride to have been handed her card.

agined, from my hair, to makeup to every little detail at our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Our guest were blown away at everything she had done.. SIMPLY amazing, she is a bride's dream come true and I am so thankful for her expertise in everything. She is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you Janie for all that you did.. We will remember this day forever.

photos, day-of hair and make up for myself and the bridal party, and then on-site styling during photos and a freshen-up after the ceremony. Janie brings an amazing balance of warmth and professionalism and I trust her amazing eye so much! Janie helped me to feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day which is a priceless gift! My husband and I had an outdoor wedding with a little (okay...a lot!) of rain---knowing that Janie was there to fix my dress, hair, make up seriously made me feel so much more relaxed. Prior to our wedding, I thought that booking a stylist like Janie was a bit of a splurge. However, after seeing how hard she works all day on-site and how committed she is to attention to detail, I can honestly say it was worth every penny and is very reasonable for the quality of work she provides. Not to mention, when I think back to my wedding, I will always treasure how much fun I had getting ready with Janie and my bridesmaids that morning. Now, I tell everyone I know getting married to book Janie! :)

s. She was able to help position me for pictures and did a really good job at seeing things that the photographer didn't. She also fixed my flower girls hair after the ceremony for pictures even though we never paid for that. She also did an amazing job at keeping me calm during my bridezilla-ish moments. She was also very accommodating. I decided about a week before the wedding that I wanted my hair different than what was done for the trial. She created a beautiful up-do that was better than I imagined! Super personable and fun. Thanks Janie!

my destination wedding in Colorado and it was by far one of the best decisions I made. Since my now husband and I were stationed in Delaware and we were having our wedding in Colorado I was not able to meet Janie face-to-face till the day of the wedding but she was still able to do my hair and makeup exactly the way I had envisioned and more. She also did my bridal partie’s hair and the mother of the groom’s hair. They all did different styles and it turned out amazing and even the next day I had people telling me how wonderful Janie did. I also hired Janie for some on-site styling for our big day so she was able to be there for the ceremony and pictures. Just having her there to help assist the photographer with posing and fixing my train and just hanging out with all of us girl before we all walked down the aisle made a world of difference. By the end of the day Janie truly had become a great friend and I know my day would not have been as beautiful and fun without her there. Please take my advice and hire Janie to be a part of your wedding day or any special occasion where you want to look and feel fabulous because that is what you will get. Janie does nothing but the best.

ses an amazing expertise that sets her apart from your average hair/make-up artist. She also travels to you which is very convenient. Being able to relax and trust someone to make you look and feel your best on a very important day is priceless.

ven managed to please the really-difficult-to-please-because-they-are-VERY-particular-about-their-hair women in my group. Which was awesome! All night long & even now, weeks after the wedding, people are still telling me how great my hair looked. And it stayed the whole night too! I appreciated how accommodating, professional and easy to work with Janie was. She's sure to make you & your group look amazing on your big day!

vent was easy, fun and enjoyable. Just what it should be. Janie is the best stylist I have worked with and she encompasses the ability to do hair, makeup and wardrobe for any time period, style or theme. We had a vintage biker pin up wedding and each member of the party was stunning, elegant and simply beautiful. I wish I could have Janie as my stylist every day! I highly recommend Janie!

r and makeup. I reviewed Janie's portfolio and work online and took the plunge. Sooooo happy I did. Not only was the work she did amazing, but she was fun, stress free, knew how to give each person what they wanted and was able to fit in some extras last minute. This is a vendor that can turn your day disastrous, they hang out with you for half the day and make you ready for everyone to see. Janie was the perfect package!!! Highly highly recommend.

and really makes your best features stand out. I was so impressed how natural she made my 'updo' look and my makeup was flawless. For someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, she made me feel comfortable with our 'look' and reassured me that it would look great. It def did. I would recommend Janie a 100 times over and use her again for other special life events.

and she was able to accommodate my early time even though it was quite a drive. I had her help during the pictures and that was a service I would highly recommend!! She made sure everyone looked great in the photos. Thanks Janie!

rt was her service was her creativity. I never thought at 64 I could look so good. I just wish I had her here for every day for hair and makeup. She made my already beautiful daughters stunning. Thanks Janie for a relaxing beinginning to our wedding spectacular.

I was really impressed by Janie's talent!! She really enhanced our best assets and made us all look like the best versions of ourselves. Janie was professional, super sweet, and talented. Our airbrushed make up and fabulous hair dos lasted all day and night!

ght long. My hair and make-up stayed in place until the next morning when I took a shower. You MUST hire her, she is honestly the best!!!

only had a small idea of what I wanted. Janie totally made it come to life! The day of the wedding went so smoothly! I felt like a princess with all the attention! My hair was just what I wanted and my makeup was perfect... natural looking, but enough to make a difference in the photos. We had Janie stay through the photos to make sure that myself and my bridesmaids all looked great for the photos. It was such a wonderful experience and I would DEFINITELY recommend Janie to anyone looking for a stylist! She's so talented and just knows what you want without you needing to say much! We had SO much fun and I will find any excuse in the future to call her again! :)

p so well!

have anything to stress about on the day of the wedding. She did a wonderful job giving me the more 'natural' look I was hoping for, while still making me feel absolutely gorgeous. Thanks Janie!

nailed it. I received so many compliments on my hair and it was one of my favorite things from my wedding day. With the makeup, again I told her basically what I wanted and when I saw the final product I was so excited! I would recommend Janie to anyone looking for a wonderful hair and makeup stylist. She was also so much fun throughout the process and took the day of wedding stress away while I was with her. She also did my MOH hair and makeup and that was equally beautiful and just the right uniqueness to make it come together perfectly!

t. I knew my hair is especially unique and hard to handle, but when I saw Janie had experience with Korean and Indian ladies, I knew she could handle the most important date in my life. I had pre-setup beforehand, and it worked great! She came to our house, so I could save my time since I worked full time. My husband and I started preparing wedding stuff pretty late compared to average, but she was sweet and efficient. I could tell her how I wanted my hair to be, she changed a little, and we were ready for the wedding! I showed her my ideal hair (actually thinking it might be hard because the model was not an Asian lady), and, surprisingly, Janie set up exactly same hair style with the model! I was really impressed and had NO regret choosing her.

made us all look gorgeous! She's the best stylist/makeup artist I know.

th her as well! Fun gal and extremely talented!
