Laura Westrem Artistry

cheon mess after we left for the church! Money well spent!

well into the next day! I hope I never get married again, but if I do I would certainly call Laura!

made planning from out-of-state a breeze. Laura checks in at every step of the way to make sure you feel nothing short of gorgeous and comfortable. I tend to not wear a lot of makeup (mascara and blush only usually) and wear my hair straight down, so I was worried about not looking like myself for photos -- but also wanting to look beautiful and put together. Laura nailed it. I felt like a natural, glowing bride -- and at the same time comfortable and looking like a movie star version of me. Laura, thank you so much for making my day awesome. Thank you for listening, laughing, and supporting my bridesmaids and family. Thank you for all of your support, kindness, and your amazing skills. Thank you for all the bonus awesomeness!

highly recommend Laura and her team!

/be flexible even after doing the hair/make-up a certain way! I also appreciate her ability to get back to me quickly when I originally contacted her with pricing, day of timeline and other details. Throughout the course of planning the wedding, there were times when it was harder to get in contact with her (sometimes needed to send a few emails back to back), but they were never urgent questions and I was always able to get an answer. When I did have important or urgent questions, Laura always responded right away.

l and beautiful and her amazing hairstyles stay put all day. My wedding was on the first snowy day in October and you would have never known. :) Thank you, Laura!

hroughout a hot and humid July wedding! Laura was able to bring my vision for my hair and makeup to life! My bridesmaids and our mothers also looked stunning thanks to Laura and her incredible team! They are worth every penny! They helped make the morning of the wedding so low stress and fun!!! I would highly recommend Laura Westrem to any bride who wants to look beautiful and flawless on her wedding day! Thank you Laura Westrem!!!!!!

My mother does not wear makeup, ever, and Laura made her feel both beautiful and comfortable. Our professional photos are starting to trickle back to us, and they look AMAZING! I would choose to work with Laura again and again and again. The start to our big day wouldn't have been the same without her and her close-knit team! THANK YOU!

ew and employees were kind and had great attitudes. I was unsure of the airbrush technique but Laura gave great advice and she was correct that my professional pictures turned out amazing. I would gladly recommend her again and again to anyone getting married. Thank you!!

s of laughing! Don’t look any further, you’ve found what you’ve been looking for!

maids, and my family look and feel beautiful. Bonus: she is such a sweet person and is truly passionate about what she does. These things shine through in all interactions you have with her!

rt was she worked my wedding which landed on her birthday! Would recommend Laura for any bridal hair and/or makeup!

ll through the night.

professional and fun, I felt very comfortable trusting her with my hair and make up! She's careful and detailed, and it shows through her team as well! Highly recommend!

ms are typically more natural and wear little makeup, but I wanted it to be a special day. Laura and Mary have a way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. We all loved our hair and make up. I read in one review before I booked Laura that she was like a “fairy godmother” and it is so true. They had finished hair and make up on everyone, and still wanted to help, so they brought some decorations to the venue… Meanwhile, when taking wedding photos by Lake Superior, I was inadvertently hit by a wave. It made for a great photo, but left me, my dress and shoes soaking wet. Laura and Mary both came to my rescue when I arrived at the venue, with a hairdryer in hand, make up and hair touch ups, not to mention eye contact assistance. They definitely went above and beyond their call of duty to make my wedding day special and it will definitely be memorable!

my wedding and was happy to add in a last minute hair appointment the day of without throwing off the detailed itinerary. On the big day Laura was happy and excited to work with my group and was a pleasure to talk with. She made sure we liked our hair and makeup, happy to make adjustments to ensure we had the best final look possible. She made everyone look and feel their best. I would recommend Laura to anyone in search of hair and makeup for their wedding.

e bride (me) look 10 years younger. Thank you, Laura!!!

ested. My wedding party LOVED her and everyone looked STUNNING! She was a recommendation from one of my bridesmaids and I will certainly be recommending her to future brides I run into. Trusting someone to make you look your best on your wedding day is a big deal. Without question I would hire Laura and her team again!

nd Mary doing my hair and make-up I felt lovely. My sisters (and if you are lucky enough to have them you know they are brutally honest) could not get over my transformation and said I looked "stunning"! Thank you Laura for making this special occasion even more special!

much fun getting ready for my wedding with Laura!

up artist. She is a true pro and the proof is in her work. I searched every vendor through The Knot and she was the only one I thought could make me look how I wanted to look. She is very considerate and checks in through each step to ensure you are satisfied before she continues further into the look. And for the cherry on top, she is super fun to be around. She is kind and friendly, and goes above to ensure perfection is reached before anyone heads out the door. She is amazing and I wish she could doll me up on a regular basis. Thank you, Laura!!!

ra and her Mom at my wedding. They were like fairy godmothers - running around making sure you have everything you need. They know weddings and provide this calm you wouldnt otherwise experience. I mentioned I was hungry at one point and Laura's mom busts out some ham and swiss sandwiches from her bag. Need a toothbrush? They had a disposable one. Need a laugh? That just happens the whole time. I cannot review Laura highly enough. Just do yourself a favor and hire her!

two times, I was POSITIVE I wanted her to help me at my wedding. My hair and make up was more perfect than I even imagined it to be. Besides the fact that Laura is an amazing artist, her and her mom are a great team to work with! She is so personal and can brighten up any room with her radiant personality. She made my senior pictures, my mom's wedding, and my wedding 100 times better. She goes above and beyond and exceeded all my expectations. Hiring Laura for any event is a decision you won't regret!

d gorgeous, and my own makeup was better than I could have imagined! Laura took my wishes to have a naturalistic look into account, but gave her own professional opinions and suggestions so that I could look camera ready as well. She was also incredibly fair with us on the price. I could not have asked for a better makeup artist and styling team for my wedding! Thank you, Laura!!!

it! I would recommend her to anyone! I would love to use her again! Her work is absolutely beautiful!

nted (I hate hairspray, so she was able to get the same look without using a ton of the stuff). If you hire her, you won't be disappointed!

ves. I can honestly say there is no one else I would have chosen to have there with me and bridesmaids on my wedding day. I sat back, relaxed and let her make us into the prettiest versions of ourselves. You can tell her and her team love what they do and they didn't leave us until everyone was completely satisfied with their look down to the last strand of hair and lip color. I have never felt prettier in my life than on my wedding day and I can't thank Laura enough for making that happen.

strem was priced similarly to salons and they would come right to your house (or wherever else you were getting ready). Laura was so great to work with from Day 1. She was super helpful in looking at our day of schedule and we added a few more artists due to the amount of people we had to get ready. Laura came to my parent's house for the hair and makeup trial and she is so outgoing and friendly! She immediately felt like your friend. And when it came to the hair and makeup, I was so impressed!! She was absolutely perfect! On the wedding day her and the other 3 came to my parent's house and the extras that we added were all wonderful as well! It was so much fun to get ready at my parent's house and I felt like it was so relaxed. We started getting a little off schedule but the artists were so great at just going with the flow and everything was completely done on time! My whole wedding party and my mom (and of course me!) loved all of the hair and makeup! Everyone did such a great job. They were so much fun to work with as well! Definitely recommend for anyone!

my make-up and colors and they worked with me to get everything perfect. Laura was great to work with. She got back to me right away with all my questions and she paid attention to every detail for my day. I would highly recommend Laura Westrem Artistry for your wedding! :)

r it!! Everyone commented on what a beautiful job she did. There were 7 of us who requested services, so she brought an assistant with her. She was so friendly, and also did a great job. At the last minute, my flower girl decided she wanted her hair done too, and Laura gladly fit her in to the tight schedule! I would strongly recommend booking her for your event!

eriously, but I also trust her as the artist to make some suggestions of her own. I never felt like I had too much makeup on, or had that caked on foundation look that didn't match the rest of my body. It was fresh and fun! Laura and her team did a great job with the entire wedding party, we couldn't have been more pleased!

ly. Both looks were beautiful, the natural look is just more me. She did several bridesmaid's makeup and both mom's and everyone was incredibly happy with the results!

s. I met Laura for a trial before my shower, and I immediately connected with her. She is fun, easy going, and has energy that people want to be around. Laura not only fit me into a busy Sat., but she took extra time to spruce up my sis. I met Laura again for a boudoir shoot. Laura spent hours with me. Once again, I felt beautiful. Laura knows how to work her magic. Laura and I conversed many times before my wedding about a rash on my face. She advised me on things to try and eliminate. I was allergic to my makeup brushes and only realized after Laura’s council. Wedding Day was amazing! We had a destination wedding. Laura and her two assistants Mary and Cory were amazing. They beautified 11 women. They worked around the chaos of all of us plus my dogs, visitors and a few meltdowns. They were very kind and patient and helped keep the good energy flowing. After I had left to begin pictures, they went with my mother-in-law to her hotel room to assist her in dressing my father-in-law, who has recently been confined to a wheelchair. I had 6 people tell me how impressed and touched they were by Laura and her crew for helping my in-laws. The stress of caring for someone disabled is intense, especially when you are out of your element in a strange place. I cannot imagine what they would have done without their help. My mother-in-law shed many tears of gratitude. What I take from this experience with Laura is way more than just beautiful hair and makeup. My heart is touched by her giving nature and her selflessness in going way above and beyond to help aid us in so many ways, ensuring our wedding was a success. What I take most is Laura’s friendship. I cannot thank her enough for all she has given to me. She is the best of the best.

oved her! I am so grateful for her! SHE IS AMAZING! I have never looked so beautiful in my life! THANKS LAURA!!!!

AVE TO WORRY ABOUT LOOKING IN A MIRROR for touchups. I had fun and laughed instead. My vail came off in the wind and she was right there to put it back on securely. She can be VERY TRANSPARENT and people don't even know she is helping make you look beautiful OR she can join in on the FUN AND GIVE YOU GREAT TIPS. I highly recommend her!!! It took MUCH STRESS OUT of our special day and her bubbly personality helped make our whole day wonderful!

g extra. She and her assistant also did my bridesmaids, flower girl and my mom, all of whom were really impressed with their work. Everyone looked great on my big day and I know I owe so much of that to Laura.

elieve how beautiful my hair was! Even the crazy wind couldn’t blow Laura’s creation away. I would recommend her to any bride who is looking for the ultimate value for their buck. She is fun, easy to work with and I was happy to have her there!

cks! She is a true artist when it comes to hair and make-up. Her attention to detail and professionalism makes her an amazing stylist. Everyone - bridesmaids, mom's, me :) - had their own individual look. We were radiant, all because of Laura.

on-airbrush and I can say that both styles lasted perfectly all night! We all got lots of compliments and I can't say enough good things about her. I will definitely recommend her to people, and will go to her if I ever want professional make-up done for another event in the future. Superb Quality and Value!

nd I loved her the minute we met. She listened carefully to what I wanted and gave me a mirror so I could watch each step. Her talent was evident in the engagement photos. Between engagement photos and wedding, there was about a 4 month span. Laura kept in touch via email to find out how the planning was going and to ask if I had any questions or other thoughts for makeup. On the day of the wedding, Laura did my makeup and also the makeup for my two sisters. Anyone with sisters can imagine how much fun it was to have a big girl makeup party before the big event! Laura fit right in and became our new sister. I would highly recommend Laura. She is talented and her warmth and humor helped manage the pre-wedding jitters. Laura did far more than just my makeup. She was part of creating a very special memory with my sisters, on my wedding day; one that we will never forget!

schedule, and was very professional yet friendly and engaging. My bridesmaids and mom, who all had makeup done by Laura, all loved their makeup as well. She brought out each woman's natural beauty while making us all look and feel special for my wedding. All the makeup looked fantastic in the photos too. I couldn't be more pleased with Laura's work and would recommend her to anyone.

ith Laura. From that point forward, Laura was extremely professional, responsive and organized to work with and it is clear she is very knowledgeable about the wedding planning/scheduling process which was very helpful! The end result was exactly what I wanted and she even sent me with extra lip color to stay fresh throughout the day. I received many compliments on my make-up from guests! Laura also did make-up for my bridesmaids and mother. Everyone looked picture perfect and each girl got the look they were hoping for. It was clear that they all looked and felt beautiful and confident. Aside from being a true artist and professional, Laura is a ton of fun and makes the mood of the morning so light and happy! She felt like a good friend by the end of the day. Choosing Laura to do my wedding day make-up was one of the best decisions I made throughout the planning process!

like. I've gotten my makeup done a handful of times and, unfortunately, did not like any of them. The minute I met Laura, I knew that this was going to be a different experience. She had the makeup tool bag wrapped around her waist, brushes in hand, and a smile waiting for me. She meant business, and friendly business at that. I showed her a picture of my heroine, Rachel McAdams, and she went to town figuring out the perfect colors and perfect application. While she worked, she asked about my skin, my likes and dislikes with makeup, and even about myself. It was like catching up with an old friend who was also a genius in the makeup area. Her makeup application was flawless and spot on with the look I had requested. I would recommend her not only for her makeup skills but also for the friendly and engaged presence she brings to the event. We even hit a bit of a time crunch and Laura remained calm, joyful, and completely present to the person she was serving. Laura is a delight to work with, and I can't wait to find an excuse to have her do my makeup again. Date night, here we come!

thing up and have it ready for when we got there. She took her time with all the girls, the mothers and myself. Everyone was thrilled with how their make-up turned out and couldn't say enough positive things. Laura is also the nicest most personable person I have met. She makes everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better person to do our make-up.

taking my ideas and suggestions from my trial run and turning it into a look that was perfect and flattering to my own face shape and hair texture. I'd recommend her to anyone!

er team were all very professional and kept the day moving along right on schedule! She did everything to make sure the day was just right and didn't leave until everything was perfect! I highly recommend using Laura, I'm so glad I did!

wless and made my natural beauty shine through. She captured the look I sent her exactly how I pictured it! She also kept the entire group on schedule so there were no delays and everyone enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend Laura. Having someone that can be onsite for your hair and make up makes a big difference in getting the look you want on your big day.

ve to work with her again. Don't hesitate to contact Laura - you will not be disappointed! Thank you Laura for making my hair and make-up gorgeous beyond what I had imagined, all while listening to my concerns and my vision for the big day!

n! I'll never forget you Laura! My hair turned out just how I pictured it would be! Couldn't be happier.

was off and on rain and SUPER humid, yet my makeup did not budge. She also helped my mom fix her hair after the hair stylist at the salon made her look like she had just rolled out of bed. Overall great experience! I would recommend her to anyone!

nd had so many great tips for the day. She was so flexible and willing to work with me. she was truly dedicated and it showed. I am so happy with her work!

from all of our photos that she was exploding with pride :) That made me the happiest Bride in the entire world. It was also so awesome to see some of my bridesmaids who typically don't do their makeup have Laura use their bare canvas & turn it into an extraordinary image of beauty. How can you not have an amazing day when everyone around you is exuding beauty? :)

uch a great job for my wedding I have used her ever since! She has done my maternity and family picture hair and makeup and also has done my sisters wedding and wedding party! Choose Laura! She is the best!

was flawless and stayed put all day. She made sure I was prepared and beautiful. Thank you!

She takes your personal style into consideration, and was there for touch-ups before photos. She is very talented and does not get stressed under time crunch situations. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone wanting to look nothing but gorgeous on their special day!!

f my make-up. I looked awesome- didn't even recognize myself :) And for a make-up artist that comes to you, she was reasonably priced. She even brought in an extra person to do some of the bridesmaid’s hair, since we kept adding more people as the wedding approached. She didn’t charge for the extra person- she just made it happened and accommodated our group. Of course, she still did the bride’s hair and make-up. I would highly recommend Laura.

our wedding day - there will be nothing to stress about! She also does an amazing job on bridesmaids and moms, but makes sure to really pamper the bride! She consults with you on the look you want, and is more than happy to make any changes. Even when I changed my mind on the makeup look I wanted the day before the wedding, she did a perfect job creating the look I wanted! I had so many compliments on my makeup. I would recommend her without hesitation to any bride looking for someone to create their perfect wedding look!

ote to other brides: I probably wouldn't have needed a second trial run had I not had two of my best friends with me. Laura did a FANTASTIC job listening to what I wanted, but it got hard to control the opinions with more than just the two of us there). I went to a couple other stylists/salons to get an idea of what I wanted, and I realized right away that the work Laura did with my hair, far surpassed the skill and technique than the other stylists I tried out. About a month before the wedding we did the final run as well as a test make-up run. Again, she did an amazing job listening to what I wanted and made sure that the work she was doing reflected that. I wasn't afraid to share my thoughts with her along the process, because I could tell she genuinely wanted me to feel and look my best. She was always professional and was never offended when I told her I didn't like something, or if we could do more or less of something. The day of the wedding Laura showed up bright and early with us at 6:45, and didn't leave until almost 4:00, because everyone was seeing what an amazing job she was doing on all the bridesmaids and myself. Both my sisters, my husband mother, and my three nieces either got their hair or make-up, or both done aside from me and my 4 bridesmaids. To my protest, Laura did not even take a break the whole time she was getting everyone ready. I simply cannot say enough good things, because Laura is truly a rockstar! She was so friendly, patient, helpful and kind that by the time the wedding day came around I already felt like I knew her and was excited to spend the day getting ready with her! Definitely plan on using her for anything in the future, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

int even if things get a little tight!! I have no more daughters to marry off, but I will certainly give out her name to any one I hear that is getting married. Laura you were so great!!

maids and hair for three flower girls...and I might be missing someone. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful and she was a pleasure to be around on the hectic 'morning-of.' I would recommend her to anyone and I will call her again whenever I get the chance. Extremely talented, very professional and charming as all get out!

I had wanted and the pictures I had provided and she blew the pictures out of the water as I felt so beautiful. On the day of my wedding she came to my hotel and accommodated my whole wedding party for both hair and makeup and they all were so impressed with how fast and effortlessly she worked. We all had so much fun working with her as we were getting ready and she was so professional and kept to the timeline, she made it so easy. I have never had a good experience in the past with being in other weddings as a bridesmaid as I usually walked away not being truly satisfied with how my hair and/or makeup turned out, but that was not the case with Laura. She even did both mother's makeup and my mom had never had her makeup professionally done before and she loved it and felt beautiful. I would highly recommend Laura as she is such a pro and she has such a strong and bright light about her. What a fun and wonderful experience!

on to the next. I also decided to have my makeup done and had so many complements that evening. Highly recommend!!

day of boating in the heat, thinking my hair and make up would be messed up I was so amazed seeing that it was stil flawless! On my wedding day she came to my hotel room with one other person and did my hair and make up along with all my bridesmaids hair and make up. She truly is very talented we all looked great and I couldn't have asked for anything different. Not only was I 100% satisfied with the end results, Laura was awesome, it literally felt like I was getting ready with a good friend that I had for years, she is so outgoing and personable and turned what could have been an uncomfortable situation in to a great experience overall. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for amazing hair and make up on their wedding day! And I hope all my friends hire her so laura can do my hair and make up again if I'm in the wedding!!

henever she does it. I highly recommend Laura Westrem Artisty for weddings, prom or even a night out, she is absolutely amazing with her skills. A++++++

ed it! We all received so many compliments! I highly recommend Laura and all that she has to offer! Although I did not get my hair done by her that day(she came to do all the airbrush /makeup) I know from other people that she does a fantastic job with hair. Thanks Laura for your artistic ability! We all loved our look you gave us for my sisters wedding!
