Makeup by Donna Rae & Hair Team

I want to say 1,000 thank yous to Donna Rae and Victoria, for working with me, my 4 bridesmaids, my Mom and my fiancé’s Mom. I’ve never felt more beautiful!! Outside of some brief tears, I only touched up my under eye makeup once.  Everything stayed flawless and my curls held up even when the DJ played some of my favorite songs lol I’d like to highlight Donna Rae’s use of high quality products and her amazing ability to enhance your features, without overshadowing your natural beauty. I do not wear false lashes, but I wanted them for my wedding. She took her time in finding the right lashes and asked my opinion every step of the way.  She’s also genuinely kind and easy to talk to! For more makeup inspiration, find her on Instagram (makeupbydonnarae) Victoria is the hair style goddess! In the days leading up to my wedding, I re-read her tips and advice from her Instagram (artistrybyvictoria). I wanted to give her the best “hair pallet” to work with, and ensure my hair was giving its best for the hair style we selected. I really appreciate Victoria expressing her opinions when it came to the half up-half down style I wanted. Thanks to her expertise, my hair stayed in place all the way to our send-off…through dancing, wardrobe change and a run-through when we left our reception.  I am BEYOND satisfied with their work and grateful to book with them.  I also want to extend a special thank you on behalf of my sister. Just before the ceremony she was a little emotional and told me “I feel so beautiful, so feminine and I’m just so excited to be here” She was so radiant and she never stopped smiling.  Donna Rae and Victoria, I’m so thankful for your time and the incredible work you put into my day. (And for steering me into a new lip color that I adore!)

Donna Rae and her team made my wedding day feel seamless! They worked through a huge bridal group super efficiently and we were all happy with how everything turned out! Definitely would recommend!

I’ve heard of so many makeup horror stories on wedding days and this will NOT happen if you go with Donna Rae. She spent the time to make sure each individual lash was separated and formed seamlessly into the fake lashes. As a perfectionist, watching her work was so satisfying. She didn’t leave a single detail out. Working with her and Victoria as a team was so seamless.

Donna Rae did such a great job with my wedding makeup! I wanted a natural look, and she really delivered. My makeup looked just like it did during the trial, maybe even better. It stayed in place all day and looked great in photos and in person. Donna Rae was professional, easy to work with, and helped create a calm, enjoyable atmosphere while we were getting ready. I felt like myself, just a bit more polished, and I’m so happy with how everything turned out!

I’m so grateful to have had Donna Rae as my makeup artist for our wedding day! From the moment we met for the trial, I knew I was in great hands. She really took the time to understand my vision and made me feel confident, comfortable, and absolutely radiant. On the big day, Donna was calm, professional, and such a joy to have around. They created a flawless look that lasted through tears, laughter, and hours of dancing—no touch-ups needed! My bridal party also looked stunning, and everyone was thrilled with their makeup. The whole experience was seamless and so much fun. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to enhance natural beauty while making you feel like the best version of yourself, I can’t recommend Donna Rae enough!

Donna Rae and Victoria did an absolute fabulous job with our hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party. I was beyond impressed. We all felt so beautiful and confident, and we got so many compliments by guests at the wedding. Our hair and makeup stayed great the entire night. I highly recommend their team!

Donna and. Victoria are the best I have ever worked with on hair and makeup. Absolutely professional. Make sure you do a trial so your day is perfect. I had 2 in my wedding party in Lake Chelan and was so glad I signed up with them and my photographer tiffanyjoyphotography. I am 63 and they were amazing.

Could not be happier with Donna Rae and Victoria. This is the 3rd year in a row that we've worked with this wonderful team for an annual holiday black-tie event. They are reliable, punctual, professional and provide excellent guidance in advance to make the most of our time together. They are great to work with in all ways. They listen, do spectacular work and we all enjoy each other's company. This year we had a larger than usual group and everyone came out looking absolutely beautiful. Donna Rae and Victoria work calmly, efficiently and effectively together and it makes for a very enjoyable day.

Absolutely amazing experience with this glam team! Donna Rae and Victoria were so great to work with. Donna Rae is a perfectionist, in the best way possible. It wasn't about the time or money to her, it was about making myself, and all my bridesmaids look absolutely perfect, She did touch ups as needed at the very end which I thought was great. She made me feel like she truly cared about how I felt on the big day. She and Victoria nailed my look, and all of my bridesmaids and mom loved the way they looked. Would recommend to any bride.

Donna Rae and Victoria were fantastic! They made me feel very comfortable and relaxed the day of my wedding, and perfectly made all the changes we discussed after our hair and makeup trial. They maintained great communication throughout the entire experience, and were incredibly professional. They also gave some helpful day-of hair and skincare tips a few days before the wedding. My 4 bridesmaids all loved their hair and makeup too!

I highly recommend Donna! She did my makeup for my elopement at my Airbnb location. She was on time and was very clear on instructions to prep for my makeup. Not only did the makeup look amazing, but it also lasted my 4 hour hike up Mount Rainier! I absolutely LOVED my service from Donna!

All I can say is WOW!! As a wedding coordinator, I work with many great hair and makeup teams but Donna Rae and team took it to the next level. They navigated a very large wedding party (14 hair and makeup!!) with ease and had everything very well organized so everything ran very smoothly. Her team was very professional, prompt, easy to work with and most importantly, the bride LOVED her work! Donna Rae was really great with communication both in the planning process and on the wedding day. I would highly recommend using Donna Rae to anyone and I definitely plan to reach out to her again for some of my future clients!

I had a great experience with Donna! She has so much experience and does an amazing job. She worked with me to create a look that was stunning and comfortable. My makeup stayed on all day and looked amazing in photos! She also did a great job with my bridesmaids, everyone loved their look.

Look no further!!!!! Donna and her team did my hair and make up and I must say from start to finish her service was suburb!! I absolutely loved getting to know Donna over the course of my planning and the work she did was beyond what I ever thought! She listened to my needs from selecting colors and talking through ideas and remained flexible leading all the way to my big day! I absolutely love her and plan to use her and her team again!!!

I highly recommend Donna and Victoria who did an amazing job on my wedding day! My make up and hair turned out just as I imagined it. They listened to what I wanted but also came with great ideas and suggestions. The whole bridal party including my sister and sister in law was happy with the outcome. Donna and Victoria are very professional, fun and easy to communicate with, from start to finish.

Victoria and Donna Rae were so wonderful. They were easy to communicate with, punctual, and made me feel so beautiful for my wedding.

Donna Rae and Victoria did an AMAZING job for me, my bridesmaids, and 2 moms. They were able to do lighter or heavier makeup based on each person’s individual preference but still make us all look cohesive. They were professional and provided a lot of recommendations for those of us who don’t know much about makeup. Everyone’s hair and makeup stayed all day/night long from 7am-11pm.

Donna Rae exceeded my expectations! Her makeup techniques and layering were flawless, and I really appreciated how easy going she was on any re-direction as we went. I felt so beautiful and happy with the result!

Donna Rae was a godsend on my wedding day! She really listened to my vision and adjusted things on the fly - and took the time to understand the needs of my skin. She was so knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I wish she could do my makeup everyday!!

DonnaRae was wonderful to work with! She made me feel so glam, while still looking like myself, which is exactly what I wanted. My make-up was PERFECT! My whole bridal party and mom loved their make-up as well!

Donna Rae and Victoria were the BEST to work with for my wedding!! They were so kind, and their makeup talent is unmatched! My bridal makeup was exactly what I wanted, and I felt so beautiful!! They were timely, organized, and helped to make the wedding morning so smooth. One of my bridesmaids later said to me, “I know it was your wedding, but I’ve truly never felt more beautiful.” HIGHLY RECOMMEND Donna Rae and Victoria for makeup, they are truly the best!

I booked Donna Rae and Victoria for my wedding in August 2023. They were both true professionals and skilled in what they do. I was pleased with the communication throughout the process of signing the contract, booking my trial, and everything leading up to the big day. All the verbal communication was also followed with email/texts to help make sure I had the details right in my memory. I am also not a hair and makeup person, so the beauty part of the wedding was the most overwhelming part for me and that is why I appreciated having their expertise. On the wedding day, they were both on time and stuck to our timeline with a good system to complete all the hair and makeup for my sisters, maid of honor, and mother of the groom/bride. My group was happy with all the hair and makeup and appreciative that touch ups were allowed granted. I would highly recommend Donna Rae and Victoria if you are looking for two professionals that can ensure you have a smooth process for your hair and makeup.

Donna and Victoria were amazing! From communication when I first reached out to the trial to the wedding everything was seamless. As the bride my makeup and hair were exactly what I wanted (and more!) and all of my bridesmaids/MOH/mothers looked amazing too! Can’t recommend them enough for your wedding!

We had such a great experience with Donna Rae and Victoria for my sisters wedding! They followed exactly what people were envisioning and completely blew our expectations! They made sure each and every person was perfect before they left and as the maid of honor, was so happy with my hair and makeup look. Not only are they incredibly skilled and professional, but so sweet and easy to work with. We were doing all the hair and makeup in a small room and they were easy to chat with, fun, and engaged. I would absolutely recommend hiring them for a wedding!!!

Loved working with Donna Ray! She is so easy to work with. She did such a great job on my wedding makeup. Everyone looked gorgeous!

Cannot recommend enough. On time and even finished a bit early. Very accommodating for both the trial and the day off.

Donna Rae was incredible!! She is such an amazing artist, and was so accommodating with the planning process. Donna Rae and Victoria did an amazing job with the entire wedding party's hair and makeup, and really listened to what each individual person wanted. They were punctual, helped everyone stay on schedule, and helped make some wedding magic happen!!! Highly highly recommend, especially if you don't necessarily wear makeup all the time and want to feel like yourself on your wedding day. THANK YOU!!!!

Donna Rae and Victoria were so wonderful! It was the first time having my makeup and hair done that I actually felt completely heard for my vision, and as a result, I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. All of my attendants looked so lovely as well. I couldn't have been happier with the results and highly recommend working with both of them!

Thank you for the lovely time yesterday. You and Victoria made us look wonderful. I could not believe how amazing everyone looked. We looked like we could have walked out of a pinterest post 💖

Victoria and Donna Rae are the dream. Seriously. They do stunning work, are exceptional at achieving exactly your vision and on top of that, are so lovely! They both made my wedding day hair/mu beyond what I could have hoped for. My whole wedding party (who all opted for different looks) raved about their hair and makeup for weeks after the wedding as well. And just as importantly- their work looked beautiful in person, and somehow photographed even better. Cannot recommend them enough!

I’m so glad I had Victoria and Donna Rae for my wedding. They captured the moody Hollywood glam look I wanted perfectly, and still looked like me. I did a trial for both hair and makeup which was helpful in making sure the day of was smooth. My wedding party also had their hair done and whether it was an updo for medium-thick hair, styling for thin-short hair, or half up for longer hair, she made everyone look great. They both adapted to the unplanned smaller get-ready room with ease and made sure we all looked great without any hitches. I loved both my hair and makeup on my wedding day and wouldn’t change a thing!

Donna Rae and Victoria were a wonderful duo for hair and makeup. They truly made me, the mothers and all my bridesmaids absolutely stunning. They were able to work with various skin tones, complexions, hair styles etc., while also working quickly to get everyone done on time. I highly recommend booking them if you are looking for hair and makeup for your wedding.

Donna did an amazing job. She was very receptive to suggestions and she did a great job replicating the look I wanted but making it work for me. She was very responsive and prompt. I highly recommend her for any make up needs.

Donna Rae and Victoria made my adventurous elopement a dream come true. They did my hair and makeup for both a sunset ceremony and a very early sunrise photoshoot. I really appreciated their professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail. I quite literally have never looked better than I did on my wedding day thanks to them. My hair and makeup lasted through happy tears during the ceremony and while hiking around our elopement location in the heat. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a team to take on an adventurous elopement.
