Today i had the pleasure of having my bridal hair and make-up trial with Kate and it was the most relaxing yet sensational experience ever. Kate is not only incredibly professional and respectful but radiates positively and a glow all her own. ...
My mother came with me and I cannot say enough good things about how attentive Kate was listening to both her and my likes and dislikes (which there barely was). As soon as we decided on one part of a style she came through to complete the look tenfold. I booked the moment my trial was over and have been gushing over my photos and my styles since I left. I will be recommending her and her company whenever I can.
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2020
Thank you for this beautiful review! I am so excited to be part of your big day!
Kate is a true artist! I was recommended by a friend and had my trial with Kate this past summer for my engagement photos. She gave me a beautiful natural glam look. I am not someone who wears makeup daily and it felt so light and comfortabl...
e for the entire shoot, even in the 90 degree weather!
Since my trial went amazing I booked Kate and her team for my wedding. She and her team arrived early the day of, and got all my bridal party done before the photographers arrived. All my bridesmaids loved their look, some even said they wish they had found Kate for their wedding! Her and her team are true professionals and make you laugh/ feel comfortable throughout the entire process. My hair and makeup lasted from 11:30am till 5:00am!!! I’ve never felt soo glamorous and the compliments from my sneak peek wedding photos keep pouring in. I highly recommend Kate and look forward to using her again for future events!
Make up artist Jeanine, and Hair artist Stephanie along with Tyler & Christina were great to work with on my wedding day. We had 10 girls in total getting ready and everything moved smoothly and they even finished early so we had plenty of time...
for last minute touch ups. All my girls looked beautiful that day & were very happy with their hair and makeup as was I. It was great working with them all & fun hanging out with them that day, totally stress free!
Kate and her awesome team did the makeup and hair for me and my bride squad on the wedding day. I cannot recommend her company enough! From the smooth and reliable communication throughout the wedding planning to the trial that helped us determ...
ine the key look for the big day, and the 6:45 am early morning arrival time on my wedding day, Kate and her team were on point for my group of 10 with a 10:15 ready deadline! In addition to being talented and knowledgeable artists, Kate and her team are super friendly, encouraging, and helped us have fun as we prepped for the wedding. They also graciously accepted feedback and did some re-do's when a few small details felt off. Kate worked exclusively with me and her other team members managed to do hair and makeup for 10 in under 3 hours. Overall, I loved working with Kate and I loved the look of my hair and makeup, as well as the look for all my girls. I felt beautiful and glamorous but also very me. Thank you, Kate, for helping to make my wedding day amazing! You are an incredible artist and I highly recommend your services! xoxo
I can’t even begin to explain how talented and amazing Kate and her team are. I have used Kate for years for multiple events. The first time was for my brother’s wedding. From there she has done some of my friends weddings and this month my own...
! Everytime we have used Kate and her team, not only does everyone looking stunning but they feel it! Kate and her team really take your vision and make it come to life. I cannot wait to continue to use them for future events.
I booked Kate without meeting her during the height of COVID and will NEVER regret that decision. Her team was super efficient, professional, and accommodating. They had ten of us ready in time for the photographer with time for touch ups. Ou...
r makeup was flawless and did not move the entire night and everyone’s hair was exactly what the girls requested. I cannot recommend Kate and her team enough!!! Trust me, my wedding was last night and I needed to get on here ASAP to write this review.

Thank you Stacey for this amazing review! It was such a nice morning with you guys. I'm so glad you were happy with everything! We hope to work for you again for future events!
Kate was incredibly kind and flexible throughout the chaos of Covid. Our hair and makeup lasted beautifully through many happy tears and a full night of dancing. Her team was fun to work with in the morning and was happy to adjust our looks un...

Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2021
Victoria, Thank you for this beautiful review. We definitely went through a few obstacles together through this challenging time with many postponed dates. However, after the 4th one I'm so thrilled you guys were able to get married, and we wer...
e able to be part of such a special morning & Day!
After countless trials and being unhappy with my hair, I contacted Kate knowing she would be able to perfect the style I was looking for. Meeting Kate for the first time for my trial, I felt like I knew her forever and she was one of my friends...
. Even for the trial my hair was perfect and just the way I envisioned. On the day of my wedding Kate of course blew me away with my hair transformation and also helped me calm my nerves plus although I wore my veil the entire time, not once did I feel as of my hair was out of place or my veil was going to fall out. Her assistant Paola was so amazing and my bridesmaids and flower girls hair stayed allllll night long!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Kate and hopefully I get to work with her again in the future!!! LOVE YOU KATE❤️❤️❤️

Lauren, This review is incredible! Thank you so much. It was an honor being part of your day and love keeping in touch you !
I had to find a new hair girl 2 weeks before my wedding due to an issue with my previous stylist. Kate was quick to respond and was very accommodating and understood my situation. She did a beyond fabulous job for me and my bridesmaids and ever...
y single person at my wedding was raving over how beautiful my hair turned out. Would recommend her to every single person I know.

Nikole, It was truly an honor being part of your big day! We had so much fun that morning with you and your girls! I hope to work for you again in the future!
Kate and her team are incredible. They’re so so easy to work with and genuinely listen to everything you want/need! At my first trial, Kate worked step by step to make sure I liked what was happening with my hair and makeup. I had a second tria...
l for my minimony (thanks, COVID 🙃) with Paola and she killed it! I was indecisive and changed my hairstyle about a week out without a trial and Paola knocked it out of the parkkkk the day of! And was SO patient! I literally tried 7 different lip colors (🤦🏼♀️) and she was just so accommodating. 🥰 HIGHLY recommend booking Kate and her team. They truly go the extra mile to understand your vision as opposed to just “listening” and going over the top and doing whatever they want to do. I booked Kate again for my reception for our one year anniversary and cannot waittttt to work with her again!

Emily, Thank you for this awesome review. I'm so glad you were happy with everything. I'm SOOO excited I get to do it all over again with you for round 2 this year!

Kaitlyn, it was a pleasure to do you and your Bridal’s party hair for your wedding day! You guys were a great bunch! Hope to work for you again in the future. ♥️

Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2021
Eileen, Thank you for this beautiful review. We had so much fun that day with you and your girls. I hope to work for you again in the future.
Kate has been such a pleasure to work with. My wedding was postponed literally at the last minute (two weeks before). She was able to accommodate not only my new date, but also was able to modify my look for both my mom and myself for my small ...
outdoor ceremony. As someone with very soft, untextured hair she was able to give me a very soft half up half down style that lasted ALL DAY. I could not be happier with the outcome and cannot wait to work with her again in May.
Response from the Vendor on 12/11/2020
Thank you for this review!!! It was really such a nice morning. I had a great time styling you and mom, can’t wait to do it again next year!
I had my hair and make-up done by Kate two weeks ago for a professional photo shoot for a major magazine and she made me look better than I imagined I could! Kate is professional in every way and really listened to what I wanted done. I highly ...
recommend Kate for all services she offers.
I don't wear a lot of makeup so I was particular in who I would entrust with my makeup. Kate came recommended from another Bride so I contacted her for a trial and if she could take care of my large bridal party. Trial was great, gave her my ...
deposit and we were set. Then Covid happened! Kate was super flexible and understanding when it came to all the changes I had to make. My makeup looked AWESOME and I was super happy! All of my bridesmaids looked great. I even had one bridesmaid who opted out of makeup (because she didn't think it was Covid safe) and changed her mind. Kate so kindly agreed to do one more Bridesmaid! That was her 9th face of the day! Kate also wore a mask the ENTIRE day and was super meticulous about cleaning tools between clients. Kate - thank you for helping make my day a dream!

Marisa, thank you for leaving this awesome review. It was a pleasure to glam you and your bridal party. I had so much fun that morning. I can’t wait to see the professional photos. You made such a stunning bride ❤️
I’m so excited to have Kate do my hair on my wedding day. I originally thought there is no way that some can be good at both hair and makeup. But she is!! She’s amazing at both. She is so professional and I trust her and her team completely. A...

er 11 hours of being outside in the heat and lots of serious dancing. Even the curls I had flanking my face stayed PERFECT the entire night. I was super impressed. She is also so nice and easy to work with. I highly recommend Kate and would definitely have her do my styling again in the future!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2020
Mary, Thank you for this amazing review. I had so much fun styling you guys. The photos came out beautiful. I look forward to working with you again in the future!
Kate is AMAZING! She replied to my inquiry about pricing and packages on the Knot within a few hours and I met her in person at the LI Bridal Expo at Nassau Coliseum. She is so down to earth and easygoing. I booked a trial with her and then us...
ed her again for my engagement pictures, and she even drove to me in Queens when it was snowing! She called me the week before our wedding to plan out our hair/makeup times and she had plenty hair and makeup artists to style my large bridal party. (Bride, 2 Mothers, 10 bridesmaids) Kate and her team arrived at 6:45 AM and were ready to go before 7. We were all ready in time for my photographers at 1:15 PM with time for touch-ups. As the bride, Kate spent nearly 2 hours on me and I absolutely loved how I looked on our wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Kate for wedding and all events.

Nicole, Thank you so much for this awesome review. I look forward to working for you again in the future!
After seeing Kate’s incredible work on her instagram page, I was already in love. I scheduled a hair/makeup trial with her and she did not disappoint. She was patient, friendly, and so professional. She and her team are based in Long Island bu...
t they were willing to travel to Northern NJ for my wedding. The day of the wedding she and her team showed up on time and ready to get to work! I had 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 2 grandmothers getting hair and makeup done. Everyone looked INCREDIBLE and we were so impressed with the crew’s professionalism. Kate stayed with us for the balance of the day for touch-ups, but her willingness to help, and be by my side the entire afternoon far exceeded expectations. I HIGHLY recommend Kate Ford!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2020
Thank you so much for this beautiful review. I love coming across your photos in our portfolio. We will definitely be reposting for years to come!
Kate was very professional to work with, she wasn’t pushy nor did she imposed her vision of how you should look onto you. Her wedding trial was the best thing to do because I was able to really sit and tell her what works for me. I will definit...
ely recommend her to do makeup for any bride and their bridal party. I’m definitely booking her again for future events. 😍

My entire experience with Kate was amazing! After having a terrible makeup trial with someone else, I was feeling anxious about doing it all over again. Kate was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable and really listened to what I wanted f...
or both my hair and makeup - I booked her on the spot! The morning of my wedding Kate and her partner were on time and ready to go. I had myself, 5 girls and 1 flower girl and everyone came out beautiful. My makeup lasted all night with no fading or smudging, and I even went out to breakfast the next day with my hair and hairpiece still intact. Highly recommend!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2020
Thank you for this beautiful review. I enjoy seeing your photos pop up in our timeline. You made a stunning bride.
Kate is AMAZING and the sweetest! I met Kate while wondering through the bridal showcase at Nassau Coliseum and am so glad I did. She was so sweet, easy to talk to and just knew she was who I would be working with. Within a few days I booked a ...
trial and was more then impressed, she took the photos I showed her and made the look I was hoping for happen! In the following months she was easy to get in contact with, she provides you with an easy to read invoice and updates them as payments are made. The day of Kate was already unloading her car when I was pulling into the parking lot of my vendor and even at 6am was enthusiastic and ready to start the day with me and my bridal party. I was lucky to have her and I never once felt nervous. She chatted with myself and all the girls in her chair while working on us. She also had a makeup artist and someone curling hair as there was 7 of us getting our hair done. Kate did both my hair and makeup. Day of I asked her to alter the back of my hairstyle and she NAILED it !! My husband even commented on my makeup because it was so natural ! Kate asked me a few times if she could do something more to my makeup and I completely trusted her and am glad I did. It was a late night, so I did not take my hair out and it was still perfectly intact the next day so I was able to enjoy it for a bit more ! My bridal party looked amazing and I felt beautiful, thanks to Kate! If you have the opportunity to book her, DO IT.. you won’t regret it !!! Thank you Kate :)
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2020
Jenna! Thank you so much. Also, we appreciate your referrals so much!
I truly don’t even know where to start with Kate and her team. I was super indecisive on the look I wanted and Kate was so patient throughout the two trials I scheduled and ultimately came up with a wonderful game plan. I ordered my extensions ...
through her for my wedding as well. And during my makeup and hair appointment I had for a separate occasion (yes Ioved her work that much I use her for every occasion) she noticed I had dyed my hair ever so slightly. She went out of her way without my asking and knowledge to order another color of extensions she felt would better match my hair out of her own pocket and brought BOTH sets the morning of my wedding to ensure I would have the best look. I was speechless with how much she truly takes care of her clients. All 10 bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law, myself and my grandmother were completely with flawless hair and makeup right on schedule! She was truly one of the best vendors I had that day. I wish I could remember the three other ladies who helped the morning of my wedding because they were so talented as well.

Thank you for the awesome review! You and your bridal party were a pleasure to style. We had Maria and Paola help with makeup as well. I hope your wedding was everything you imagined. I hope to work with you again for future events!
My bridesmaids booked Kate for me as a surprise, I was going to attempt to do my hair and makeup myself - so glad I didn’t because I would never have been able to do the hair and makeup that Kate was able to give me. With no trial, she was able...
to create my exact vision - a loose, long, intricate braid, and makeup that highlighted my face in the right places. She was really fun and down to earth - exactly who you want on a crazy wedding day morning. Completely talented and really cares about making your vision become reality.
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2019
Thank you for this awesome review! You guys were the best!
Kate did my hair and makeup for our Montauk wedding on 9/29. Kate is seriously THE BEST. Where to start? She is so responsive, will answer your texts and emails back within minutes, email you back late at night, and help you decide what you wa...
nt for your day while working with your vision. We actually experimented with a few different looks, I even used her for last minute event makeup leading up to our day and it was so nice keeping in touch over the months leading up to the wedding and beyond. She can do anything from a natural glow to full on “Kim K Glam” as one of my bridesmaids requested, lol. And she KILLS hair too. Her extensions gave me so much beautiful extra volume and curl. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night. I didn’t even take it off before bed and I still looked great the next morning!! Thank you Kate SO much for helping me feel like a stunning bride on my wedding day, couldn’t have done it without you!!

Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2019
You were the best! Thank you for this heart warming review. This was such a fun wedding party !! Hopefully I get to glam you up again soon.
Where do I even begin?! Kate and her team are amazing. I searched all over for someone because my wedding was in Long Island but I lived upstate so it was a struggle to find and meet with someone. I also have extremely curly hair so I wanted so...
meone with experience and wasn’t just going to say let’s straighten it. From the beginning Kate was amazing. Through email and for a couple months of trying to decide, I finally asked her if we could set up a trial.
Fast forward to the time for the trial, I was now living in California so meeting was even harder than before. She was so accommodating and flexible. Victoria and Kate brought everything I wanted to life. Just like when I knew my dress was it, I knew my hair and makeup were set for that day.
Fast forward even more to my wedding day, I had Victoria (for hair) and Laura for makeup come in that morning. Laura did the girls and moms makeup and Kate came later on in the day to do my makeup. All three of them were perfect! All makeup and hair lasted all day, even with it being over 100 and humid that day. I could go on with every possible detail but I’ll save that all. They were so much fun to work with and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to come and glamify myself and my girls than them. Thank you so much ladies!❤️
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2019
Thank you for this review. ❤️ your pictures came out so beautiful. This was a crazy hot day but you and your bridal party made it so enjoyable.
Kate was amazing. I couldn't have asked for better hair and make up. Kate was incredible about making my vision a reality. I received so many compliments. Highly recommend her and I would definitely hire her again.
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2019
I cant wait to see your professional photos! It was honor to style you on your special day. I hope to work for you again the the future.
I met Kate at a bridal expo and I knew I wanted her to do my hair and make-up for my wedding! I was abroad most of the time and did not have time to do a trial. I trusted her without a trial and she was more professional and talented than I exp...

Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2020
Thank you so much. I enjoy seeing your photos come up in our portfolio.
Working with Kate was amazing! When I had my first trial with her I knew I was going to use her for my wedding. I am not someone who really wears makeup and I know nothing about makeup so I wanted a very natural look. I wanted it to look like I...
got my makeup done but I still wanted to look like me. She nailed it and did a fantastic job! I got endless compliments all night long. I got my makeup done for my wedding day around 10am and I did not get into bed that night until 530am and after a night of sweating and dancing it still looked like I just got it done! I highly recommend her she is truly talented!

Jessica, From our trials to your wedding you were a pleasure to work with! Thank you for trusting us on your special day!
Kate and her team are absolutely amazing. My friend recommended Kate to me and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Kate did my hair and makeup for my wedding in August along with my bridesmaids, mothers, and grandma. (I kept emailing Kate to add...
more people than we had on the first contract and Kate was so accommodating). Her team was there ready to start on time and finished way ahead of schedule. All of our hair and makeup lasted throughout the whole day. I normally don’t wear a lot of makeup, it was my first time getting airbrush and eyelashes, and I was so happy. Everyone was so pleased with how their hair and makeup came out. Kate made me feel comfortable from the first time we talked, she listened to what I wanted and did an amazing job (oh and I don’t know how she answers emails so fast!!!). I can’t wait to have another event for Kate Ford to do my hair and makeup!! I highly recommend Kate!!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review!
Kate and her crew were amazing! She made sure she was there ready to start on time, and was so effficent with making sure we stayed on schedule and we finished with plenty of time. Everyone in my bridal party as well as both mothers had nothing...
but great things to say about their hair & makeup. Her prices were also very reasonable, and she is very easy to reach, with quick responses. Thank you Kate!

Katina, thank you for this beautiful review. You guys were a pleasure. Your professional photos are so beautiful. We can’t stop staring at them ! ❤️
I cannot say enough amazing things about Kate! She is such a sweetheart, and so easy to work with. I do not wear a lot of makeup, on a daily basis, and don't have the expertise to know what looks good. Kate really knocked my wedding day look ou...
t of the park. I came in, not giving her much direction on makeup, I just trusted her. I was really happy with the end product, and all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful as well. Kate is so knowledgeable about the makeup industry, and she's such a pleasure to work with. Thanks for making my wedding day extra special!

Lindsay, thank you for this beautiful review. ❤️ you guys were so much fun. It was a lovely morning.

Thank you so much for the review! You guys were awesome! We were honored to have styled you guys ❤️
It was a pleasure to work with Kate for my wedding in April. From the moment I did my trial I knew she was "the one." She understood my style and made me feel amazing. My hair and makeup were in place all day (and since we started at 5am tha...
t's saying something)! One of the things I liked about Kate was how responsive she was! She got back to me so quick about every little thing which when you are planning a wedding is a blessing.
She even helped me find a makeup artist when I forgot to book one for my engagement shoot and she wasn't available. I look forward to using her in the future, her professionalism, humor and talent has made me a loyal client!

Debbie, Thank you for the beautiful review. I hope you work for you again soon!
I met Kate at a bridal expo and booked a trial with her on the spot for my 30th birthday. She had a very down to earth vibe and was edgy. I’m very particular about my makeup, especially my eyeliner wing. Go big or go home! haha. She listened to...
everything I said and never made me feel pushy. That was over a year ago.... The rest is history. I booked her for my every event after that (engagement shoot, bridal shower, bordoir shoot, etc). She is just amazing. I don’t think I’ll ever use another MUA. Every single time she does my hair and/or makeup it’s different based on my outfit or vibe and EVERY time it’s flawless. My wedding hair and makeup came out exactly like my trial and I could not have been happier!! I had 7 bridesmaids + my mother the morning of my wedding. She brought two girls from her team and every single one of them looked absolutely stunning. I also had Kate come to the venue to do touch ups and fix me when I needed it. She is a damn rockstar. Not only did she reapply my lipstick and recurl a few strands but she also held my bouquet (which easily weighed 10lbs!) and fixed wondering hairs while photos were being taken. “Hold on! I need to move this one piece of hair... trust me”. She went above and beyond (like always). All of my girls were so pleased with everything and numerous guests commented on both their hair and makeup!! I can’t recommend her and her team enough!

Where to start! Katie is so unbelievably talented and such a pleasure to work with. She is the only person I will go to for my makeup, period! I have received countless compliments and referred tons of friends and family her way, all have had a...

Katie goes out of her way to listen, give suggestions and deliver. My wedding specifically was a great representation; different ages, skin tones, and preferences, all the ladies looked STUNNING!
So happy to have a reliable and talented professional on speed dial. Thank yuh Katie!! xxoo

Kate Ford & her team are absolutely amazing... punctual, personable, meticulous, and talented! I was the maid of honor in my sisters wedding this past Saturday. Kate and her assistants made sure the bride, bridesmaids, and my mother were happy ...
with their hair and makeup. They nailed each of our looks!! The morning was perfectly timed & scheduled without having to rush any one of us!! Kate herself followed our bride and party to the venue for any touch ups as needed. She’s also available for trials beforehand. I cannot say enough good things! Would and will recommend to anyone looking for makeup and/or hair for any special occasion. Thank you Kate & team for making us all look & feel like superstars! 🤩❤️

Response from the Vendor on 02/19/2019
Your very welcome. It was so much fun. Hope to style you again soon.
Kate and her team are punctual, professional and just perfect! I had a trial with Kate for my engagement photo shoot and loved how she listened to what "look" I was going for and accommodated me after I had to cancel due to inclement weather.
...
On my wedding day, despite the madness, Kate and Jessica did mine, my mother's and my grandmother's hair and makeup beautifully. We all received compliments and felt like a million bucks.
I highly recommend Kate Ford Beauty!

I recently used Kate for my wedding in October. I loved the way my makeup came out for my bridesmaids & myself. She was easy to contact & make a trial appointment with. She was a little late for the trial and day of but she was able to finish t...

Kate did my wedding hair and makeup and they were both flawless! I appreciate the time she took first during my trial to get an understanding of what I wanted, and then day of, to ensure I was totally happy. I wouldn't have changed a thing!
Kate is so quick to respond and extremely professional. I loved working with her for my bridal hair and make up! She was so easy to schedule a trial with and always on time. She was able to transform exactly what I was trying to explain into ex...

Kate is absolutely amazing as a makeup artist and hair stylist. She is super professional, caring, and easy to speak with. She makes you feel like you are hanging out with your girlfriend and catching up on each other’s lives. She would always ...
email back very quickly and answer any questions I had. She was flexible when it came to the start times for the day of the wedding. Talking to her, she listened to all my ideas and made great suggestions and was respectful to what my mother wanted as far as her hair and makeup (She doesn’t like wearing a lot). My makeup and hair lasted from 7:30AM to 7:30PM. The airbrush foundation was so lightweight and looked so natural on my skin. The eyelashes were so comfortable. My hair did not feel too heavy, even with all the bobby pins. I did not need to touch up or fix anything except for my lipgloss, which she sells (And you should buy from her. The formula is high quality and she helped me find the perfect shade for my skin tone. Also I had it for the wedding and now the rest of my life as a keepsake) I highly recommend Kate Ford Beauty.

I have to start off by saying that Kate and her team are absolutely fabulous. I knew I would be working with Kate Ford Beauty from the moment I did my trial. Kate did my hair and make up for my wedding day in August and I felt the most beautif...
ul I have ever felt in my life. I received so many compliments at the amazing work she did, and my makeup survived until I go home that night, after a hot summer day. My bridesmaids and I were so impressed at how fast Kate and Jessica worked. They are both so talented and they really care about what they do. All my girls were so pleased! It was super easy to communicate with Kate throughout the planning process. I even added extensions at the last minute and she made it work. Kate connected me to her other team member Victoria, who did an amazing bayalage and haircut. Kate also did a keratin treatment and scheduling all of this was so easy with her flexibility. What else can I say? Kate Ford Beauty is a team of young, talented and professional young women who are super nice. You would be doing yourself a favor by booking with them for your special day or any occasion. I certainly will be coming back to her for any hair and make up needs in the future. Thank you Kate and your team!

One of the main reasons I chose to go with Kate Ford for my wedding day was because she is so quick and professional when responding to my questions. My hair and makeup trial was so easy... her work is phenomenal and she really listens to what ...
you say. She brought three other artists with her on the day of my wedding for the ten girls in my bridal party, and they all did stunning work! My friends were truly amazed by how amazing they all looked, and how kind Kate and her stylists were. Kate did my hair and makeup herself, and there is no possible way I could have been happier. Thanks for making my wedding morning so stress-free!

Lauren,
It was truly my pleasure styling you for your wedding! you and your bridal party were so sweet!
I hope to work for you again in the future!
Kate was great to work with! She did my makeup for my son’s wedding, as well as my mother, sister and niece. We were all extremely happy with the results. Kate was very responsive in setting up the appointment and working within our schedule. T...
he morning of the wedding, she put us all at ease and listened carefully to our wants/needs. She is very professional, and talented. I couldn’t believe that the makeup she applied at 10 am stayed fresh-looking throughout the entire evening. Kate really made us feel like the best version of ourselves. I highly recommend using her for any special occasion.
Kate did an amazing job for my wedding. I was very hesitant about getting my makeup done because I don’t normally wear any. I went to one woman before who didn’t listen to any of my requests, and I ended up crying. Kate listened to what I thoug...
ht, gave her opinions, and gave me such a peace of mind. She did a beautiful job, and I tell everyone to use her. I would use her again for any event I have. She has a great eye, and is totally worth every penny. She will make you look great, and feel confident. She is also very accommodating to schedule, and location. I was so lucky to have her!
First of all, before you even meet her, you're going to love how quick she is to respond and how direct she is. So many vendors want to make a relationship with you first by chewing your ear off, when all I'm trying to do is get some basic answ...
ers first! I LOVE how easy she has been making this process. Honestly, my favorite vendor for the whole wedding so far, and I've only met her once. Also, a big plus is that she does BOTH hair and makeup. And one thing I haven't seen her advertise as much is that most (if not all) of her products are cruelty free. For me, that's an awesome plus.
I just had my hair and makeup trial this past week and it went great. She was there on time (actually, early!), she listens to what you want, and she's personable. Her rates aren't the cheapest, but they are fair (def not outrageous) considering she's doing both hair and makeup, etc. I had made an Excel sheet (which I'm sure most of you have) and when you looked at everyone else compared to her, it just made the most sense to go with her and I'm so glad I am going to book her! Can't wait to have her there on my wedding day. I know already she's the one vendor I'm not going to have to worry about at all.
