Tanya and Holly were amazing with our bridesmaid/bride makeup! Melissa organized everything months in advance and made sure everything was set/ questions were answered prior to the day of. All the bridesmaids LOVED their makeup and looked amazing thanks to these two girls!

Melissa’s team helped me and my girls feel like our best selves for my 11/9 wedding! Rosa and Susan were my lead make-up and hair artists, with Jen and Christa joining us as well. All of the women were upbeat and professional! They all made sure to listen to my girls’ requests while helping them find the right hair and/or make-up for their desired look. Melissa was great at communicating throughout the months leading up to my wedding, even putting together a timeline and schedule for each individual artist to ensure there were no hiccups getting ready. I’d definitely recommend Melissa Ann Artistry for your big day!

The Melissa Ann Artistry + Co Team was nothing short of INCREDIBLE! 12 ladies had to get their hair and makeup done before a 1 PM wedding, and everyone’s results were fantastic! Special shout out to Krista for completing beautiful Bridal make-up! Hairstylists and make-up artists provided high quality services, ran ahead of schedule and remained on schedule, and added FUN ENERGY to the getting ready portion of the big day! The cost for services were also very reasonable and worth every penny! The pre-coordination process was easy- there was great communication along the way, a day of schedule was created, and the Melissa Ann Artistry team and I were always on the same page! Would recommend Melissa Ann Artistry + Co team to all!!!

Any questions?
Diamond was my makeup artist, and she did an amazing job on all of our makeup! She arrived to my house ahead of schedule, and was also able to fit an extra person in for makeup last minute. Everyone was satisfied with the look and quality of her work, and I would definitely use her again in the future. I enjoyed working with Diamond!
Melissa Ann Artistry + Co was extremely easy to work with. They were quick to reply and very transparent in their price and workflow. I appreciated that they made the hair/make up schedule for myself and the brial party. Christa (make up) and Stephanie (hair) did an excellent job. I received many compliments and appreciated that they checked in along the way to see if I liked and / or wanted any adjustments. They were very efficient and had us ahead of schedule.
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2024
THANK YOU, MEGHAN! Christa and Stephanie had so much fun with your group! Wishing all the best! We can't wait to see all your pics! Love from us here!
The makeup artists did an amazing job on my bridal makeup, the bridesmaid's and the mothers's makeup. They came to us at my sisters hair salon where we were getting ready and were efficient and did a beautiful job! I had two artists for a group of 12
Response from the Vendor on 10/14/2024
Thank you so much, Katie! Nancy and Christa had a fantastic time with your group. They mentioned that the experience at your sister salon was equally positive. Thank you again, for allowing our team to be part of your special day!
Melissa and her team did a wonderful job with our hair and makeup. They had four artists doing hair and makeup for 9 girls. They were efficient and were able to finish ahead of schedule, giving us some time to relax before the ceremony. The artists had great communication throughout the whole process and were willing to change/alter some hairstyles until everyone was happy and feeling confident. They did a great job making me feel beautiful on my special day.

YAY - We're thrilled that you enjoyed our services! We had a great time with you ladies and can't wait to see all your pictures! Everyone we worked on, were so sweet and just a great person to chit chat with! - Melissa and Team.
GREAT service. Especially for 10 people having a single vendor for both hair and makeup to interface with was essential. Calm, professional, and worked with each of my girls to achieve the look they wanted. Rosa stayed late for both the trial and day of to perfect our looks before we headed out and I got the impression each artist generally listened to feedback we gave - more/less brows, etc, Would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2024
Thank you so much Madison, we had a blast. Loved your grandma! Thanks for having us! - Melissa :) please share pictures.
Chelsea, Christa & Stephanie did an amazing job on everyone’s hair and makeup! The hair and makeup team finished before schedule and did touch ups at the end! So happy with all their work!
Response from the Vendor on 09/24/2024
Fantastic! Yeah! Thank you for the wonderful review. The ladies had a great time with everyone. Could you please share your photos? I'm eager to see how stunning everyone looked! Thanks once more - Melissa.
Melissa Ann Artistry's team did the hair and makeup for my wedding and everything was great! Everything ran according to schedule, and my bridesmaids and I looked great. Geroldina, Jordyn, and Amy were so fun to work with!
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2024
Thank you so much for the review! So happy you had a great experience with us! Please share your photos with us, cannot wait to see!
Myself, my mom and my bridesmaids had the wonderful Adele doing our makeup on the day of my wedding and we couldn't have been more pleased. All of us got so many compliments! I especially was so happy with my look as I do not usually wear a lot of makeup- from my trial with Melissa to Adele the day of, they helped me with a look that felt 'fancy' but not too much for me. Would recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 08/22/2024
Thank you so much, Liz, for your kind words. We feel so fortunate to have had you as one of our brides. Both Adele and I adored you and your sweet demeanor. Your photographs were stunning! Congratulations to you as well!
Chelsea was our hair stylist for my wedding and was great. She did high quality work, making my bridesmaids hair look beautiful, and was extremely efficient. She was on time (for a very early 6am arrival) and was energetic, friendly, and so accommodating. I was surprised at how quickly she worked. She took so much stress off of me the day of!
I felt that it was a good value for the services I received as well!
I highly recommend Melissa Ann Artistry and specifically Chelsea for your wedding hair needs!
Response from the Vendor on 08/07/2024
Meagan, thank you for the great review! Chelsea loved your group. You looked absolutely beautiful. Congratulations! All the best! - Melissa
Melissa Ann Artistry and Co did my hair and makeup for my wedding on June 22nd and I couldn’t be happier! My schedule made it too tough for me to do a trial beforehand, but Jordan (hair stylist) and Adele (MUA) both reached out beforehand to understand what I wanted and to talk through the options. I appreciated their input and everything looked way better than I could’ve imagined! The makeup stayed all day and photographed perfectly. My hairstyle was very detailed and Jordan listened every step of the way. They also gave me little day of touch up kits which was wonderful. My bridesmaids had full control of what looks they wanted, and Jordan and Adele made all of their visions come to life. I appreciate the company’s punctuality and communication as well! All around a wonderful vendor!
Response from the Vendor on 08/02/2024

I had Melissa & Wendy for my wedding on May 24,2024. Man do I only have great things to say! Melissa was fantastic to work with from the very start! From trials not going well to working with me to get exactly what I was looking for. Wendy was a saving grace and made my hair exactly if not better than what I was looking for. She was so sweet and her personality in our bridal suite was so amazing. Melissa and Wendy not only made me feel beautiful but my entire party! Couldn't be more thankful to have them apart of my team and making my day run so smoothly. I highly recommend hiring Melissa and her amazing team!
Response from the Vendor on 07/30/2024
OMGOSH! I love all these photos! Thank you for sharing. I am so glad, that we switched out hairstylists to get you what you wanted. I always make sure all of our brides are happy! Thank you so much! Congratulations! - Melissa and Wendy
Wendy & Melanie from Melissa Ann Artistry were AMAZING!! I came to them after having a not so great experience with another HMUA. Even before the trial, they reached out to get a sense of what I was looking for and see if I had any inspiration photos. The trial was fantastic, they did an incredible job and were really fun to work with! Melissa (the owner) was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, she responded to every question and request immediately and was so helpful! At the wedding, Wendy and Melanie did 5 hair styles and 4 make up applications in record time! Everyone was thrilled with their hair and makeup! They were even willing to work with my mother in law who has cancer and help style her hair around her wig; they did a call with her in advance of the wedding to make sure they were on the same page. I cannot recommend Wendy & Melanie enough! They are truly fantastic!
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2024

We used them for all of the bridesmaids and the moms! They were so quick and got us ahead of schedule while making everybody look beautiful! They have great prices and the entire team was so kind! I recommend them! :)

Worked with Rachel and Adele. Both were wonderful and easy to work with. Communication was great, and results were amazing. 100% recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 07/03/2024
Thank you, Jensen, for the review. We truly appreciate hearing from brides like you. Congratulations on your wedding! We can't wait to see all the photos!
My wedding was 6/14/24 and it was the BEST day of my life. I had Geroldina for hair, Christa for makeup and Stephanie who did both - they were ALL phenomenal. They are all so professional and go above and beyond for the bride and her party to feel their very best. Geroldina was able to do everyone’s hair based on their pictures they gave and she was even able to do my hair different than from what we did at my trial. She knocked it out of she park! Stephanie was also super amazing she did hair and then she also did makeup on my bridesmaid who is African American with dark skin and it came out FLAWLESS. Christa did everyone else’s makeup PLUS she was able to fit in my mother and mother in law at the last minute and made them feel so beautiful. Christa was able to change up my makeup from what we had practiced on our trial ( i went more glam the day of ) and i trusted her expertise - she made me feel stunning and i got nothing but compliments all day !!! these ladies were simply THE best and i am so blessed to have had them with me on my special day. They were on time, professional, helpful, CHEERFUL , TALENTED and all so smiley and happy to be with us. Thank you Christa, geroldina and Stephanie - you were the dream team! I would definitely recommend Melissa Ann artistry and give them 10 stars
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2024
Julie! Thank you so much for your review, we were so happy to hear that you enjoyed working with our team! Especially Christa and Geroldina! Congratulations on your wedding day! You looked STUNNING!
I had Rachel for hair and Tanya for makeup on the day of my wedding. Words can not describe how beautiful they helped me look and feel on the day of my wedding. Tanya is the sweetest person and very quick. She listens and asks for feedback during the trail so she can make notes and do exactly what you are looking for on the day of the wedding. She is open to hearing everything that you like or don't like and is honest and transparent in how makeup will look. Rachel is super honest and listens and does exactly what you say. She is straightforward which is super helpful for when you have bridesmaids that are a little over the top or asking for something that isn't realistic. She does do exactly what you show her for inspo and doesn't try and do anything different which was amazing for me because I didn't want any surprises and had a vision in my head for what I wanted. Melissa was super helpful and was very honest in the timeline of events and how to communicate with bridesmaids. She answers very quickly to emails as well! Overall I would 100% choose these girls if I had to again because I could not be happier with how everything turned out.
Response from the Vendor on 05/15/2024
Thank you so much Emily for the kind words! I shared with Rachel and Tanya, and they commented they loved your group! We can't wait to see all your photos! - Melissa
Hairstylist Chelsea with Melissa Ann Artistry was amazing to work with. My bridesmaids had a fantastic time hanging out while getting ready for the big wedding day and genuinely loved their hairstyles. These girls have been in many weddings and not always a fan of the quality of work. Chelsea’s talent and quality of work was review worthy. ❤️ The only improvement is my veil kept falling out. We were short on time and rushing with a heavy veil so that’s not 100% on Chelsea.
I also did a hair trial for myself (bride), sister/bridesmaid, and mother. Highly recommend doing a trial to iron out the details before the big day. My only critique here is to allow the people to keep their hair in after the trial and not reuse product/sponges.
Chelsea was great to work with and I would highly recommend ❤️ Thank you again Chelsea!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2024
AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEW
Wendy was my stylist for 7 girls and man, did she deliver!! She is sooo friendly and has such a calming energy (that you will need!) on your wedding day. She makes you feel good and you know its genuine. She was right on time and actually early getting 7 of us done in the 4 hours that she had, it was quite amazing. I would strongly recommend Wendy!! Once I have pictures I will try and add them here.
Response from the Vendor on 02/28/2024
OmGOSH - thank you so much for the kind words! Wendy had an amazing morning with you all! Please share, your pictures!
Thank you! - Melissa :)
Amazing experience with Melissa's crew! We were fortunate to have Melissa personally and I was so happy I put my trust in her. I was so nervous about my wedding day look and she made me feel so at ease, and I felt gorgeous! We also had Stephanie and Wendy, who were both fantastic. Wendy did my bridal hair and she brought my vision to life. I was so happy with the way my hair turned out and I received so many compliments. She really made me feel like the most beautiful bride. Communication with everyone was great and the whole group came to our location. I never felt stressed and Melissa made the whole process very easy. Booking with Melissa was one of my best wedding decisions!
My experience with Melissa and Kerri was amazing! My trial was easy as could be and I felt very comfortable and confident in my wedding day look. They arrived promptly on wedding day and even hauled all their stuff up a long flight of old stairs (which was no easy task!). They did a fabulous job on everyone in the wedding party include my mom and my MIL who both do not often get hair and makeup done. Melissa made sure to ask me before using sparkle eyeshadow on one of my girls since that was what I was doing with my look! I could not be happier with how everyone looked and would recommend Melissa and her team (Kerri especially) to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 01/15/2024
We had so much fun Julia! You and your ladies looked absolutely amazing!
Thank you for having us! - Congratulations to you!
I was very happy to work with Melissa's team for hair and makeup services for both myself and my bridal party! Melissa was very responsive to all my emails and adjustments to the bridal party details. I really enjoyed working with both artists throughout both my trials and the big day. They provided beautiful looks for everyone.
Response from the Vendor on 01/09/2024
Thank you, Libby! The girls had a fabulous time getting you already for your wedding! Chelsea and Amy wish you many years of happiness! Thank you for your kindness and using our services! =)

I booked Melissa Ann Artistry for my wedding. My makeup artist was Rosa and she was so talented. I have never looked better in my life. She was great to work with, the trial was actually fun, and the final product was everything I was hoping it would be and more. The makeup she did also had lasting power -- My ceremony was at 3pm and it had to last through a costume change and a late-night DJ set until 3am -- and it did with almost no touch up as you can see from the pictures after the costume change. I highly highly recommend her.
Response from the Vendor on 12/26/2023
You look so beautiful, Valerie! Thank you for sharing and writing such a nice review. I am so happy you had a great experience with us, and Rosa! Congratulations on your wedding! - Melissa
The company was very proficient and persistent w/ communication and planning ahead of time which was very much appreciated. They were organized and sent 4 stylists (2 makeup and 2 hair) all of whom were professional and pleasant to work w/. Especially Diamond who did the bride’s makeup was particularly helpful at helping the bride find her style for that day. Also a shout-out to Wendy who did the bride’s hair (the bride has very curly hair Wendy and was great at working w/ same). The company did hair and make-up for 9 women and all were satisfied, beautiful, and ready in more than enough time.
Response from the Vendor on 01/09/2024
Thank you, Katey! We are so happy you were pleased with your services! I cannot wait to show off your photos! Congratulations on your wedding! - Melissa
Nancy and Jorden were wonderful to work with! They both are very skilled make-up artists and did an amazing job making everyone look beautiful. They spent their time on each person and found the perfect look for everyone - from minimalist to full glam. I was a college cheerleader, so I did have high expectations for a makeup artist and Nancy exceeded them! I chose a traditional look and she nailed it. Another perk to booking this team is that they traveled to my wedding venue so everything could be in one place. The team was very efficient and kept everything on time, too. I would definitely book them again!
Response from the Vendor on 12/04/2023
Kayli, thank you so much for leaving such a nice review! I know that personally Nancy and Jordyn, were so honored to be part of your day! We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to be part of your day! - Melissa and Team
I had nothing short of a "Princess Moment" that carried on throughout the entire night of my wedding thanks to the girls who did my hair and makeup! Melissa was also exceptionally easy to work with! From the initial deposit all the way to wedding day, she answered all questions quickly and made things so easy for me. I booked four artists, two MUAs and two hairstylists, to help get myself, my 7 bridesmaids, my flowergirl, the MOB and mother of the groom ready. Let me say, these ladies were unbelievable! They were early, efficient, SO easy to work with and made everyone feel like a movie star. Shout out to Chelsea (who did my makeup), Amy (who did my hair), Tanya and Susan - you ladies ROCK. Thank you for helping make my wedding a dream.
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2023
OMGosh! You look liked a Princess! Thank you so much for sharing. I will most definitely share this great review with the ladies that helped make it special! Thank you so much Jessica! Congratulations!
I booked Melissa Ann Artistry + Co. to provide hair and makeup services after having a lovely experience getting my hair done by Wendy at the studio in Pewaukee as a bridesmaid in October 2022. After some looking around when it was time to hire hair and makeup artists for my own wedding, it was a no-brainer that I should have automatically contacted Melissa about services for myself, my bridal party, and both my mom and mother-in-law, which were provided on location at the Pfister Hotel for a very reasonable on location fee. I worked with Lindsay for makeup and Wendy for hair, and they were SO nice, so fun, and did a great job for everyone while keeping us blissfully ahead of schedule. Special shoutout to Melissa for doing my makeup trial for me before my bridal shower as Lindsay was out of town, and for Wendy fitting me in that same morning before a family event, since my availability was limited due to my planning my wedding from NYC.

OMG! LOOK AT YOU!!!! - You look stunning! Thank you, Linda! We had so much fun with you all around! - Love Melissa, Wendy and Lindsay!
Melissa was an ABSOLUTE dream to work with. She made all of us feel so beautiful and special. Her work is extremely tasteful and really captures what you want for your big day. She was accommodating to everyone and just so fun to start the day with! I HIGHLY highly recommend Melissa Ann Artistry +CO

100% amazing. Melissa was on point when helping me to plan makeup for the big day. And our makeup artist, Tanya, was exceptional. Tanya was efficient and talented. We all looked beautiful the day of and I was very pleased. I highly recommend them for wedding makeup.
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2023
This is AMAZING to hear! Thank you for your kind review! 😍 Please send pics 📸 We can't wait to see how beautiful you looked!
Melissa and her team of experts did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids, moms, and myself the day of our wedding. Melissa kept me at ease during the stress I was enduring with vendor issues while keeping me laughing to lighten the mood. My make up was just as amazing as my trial we did and lasted all day without feeling heavy or caked on. All of my girls raved about how amazing their makeup came out as well which is a great thing to hear. Melissa had great communication throughout the year, helped coordinate timelines, and was easy to chat with allowing for feedback and offering suggestions. I highly recommend her and her team for your wedding.

Thank you so much Jessica! We had so much fun! I can't wait to see all your photos!
DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK THEM- I am SO impressed with Melissa Ann Artistry + Co! We booked them for Hair + Makeup for the wedding party and MOB/MOG and we were blown away by their quality of work. We had Wendy for hair and I was soooo impressed with her professionalism, attention to detail, and communication. Everyone's hair looked PERFECT. We booked Melanie for makeup who did such a great job listening to our feedback and executing the "soft, romantic" vision. I am usually picky about my makeup and think it comes out looking like "too much" but I truly LOVED the makeup - my skin and eyes looked amazing and it lasted all day. They really made me feel like the most beautiful bride and and my bridesmaids could not stop raving about how excellent both of them were. They were also so fun and sweet to have in the suite getting ready with us. Thank you thank you!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/11/2023
Thank you so much for leaving us a review! We truly appreciate your business, and you all look absolutely STUNNING! xxoo - Melissa
Our hair and makeup experience with Melissa and Co was so effortlessly seamless with high quality work. We worked with Wendy, Jen and Holly for hair and makeup for 8 bridesmaids, the mothers of the bride and groom, and myself. From the moment they arrived at our getting ready place they were so happy and excited to be there, and yet still so professional and efficient. Everyone’s hair was done ahead of time, looked amazing, and everyone was so pleased; makeup on everyone looked so professional and Holly made sure to get everyone exactly what they wanted for makeup. I really got my dream hair and makeup for my wedding and couldn’t recommend them more.

Melissa and Kinsey DELIVERED for my bridal party and I’s hair and makeup for my wedding on 7/28/2023. It was BLAZING hot the whole day, and my makeup didn’t budge!! It was such a pleasure to work with both ladies and I highly recommend booking with them both!
Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2023
Jessica, it was an honor to be part of it all! Your group were so kind and amazing! Thanks for having us!
Melissa
Melissa and company were absolutely fabulous to work with, I cannot recommend them enough! Having planned a Sunday brunch wedding, getting myself and my bridal party ready to go in the morning for pictures was one of my biggest stressors. However, Carissa (hair) and Adele (make-up), showed up bright and early, and were super organized keeping everyone on track and out the door in time!
Carissa did such an amazing job with everyone's hair! She gave great recommendations to everyone, and my hair looked perfect and stayed perfect all day (even down in a summer outdoor wedding). She was super compassionate to my mom who is sensitive about hair insecurities, which we both really appreciated.
Adele also did an amazing job with make-up. My red lip got so many compliments....and again, everyone's make-up stayed put all day in an outdoor/daytime July wedding!
Did I mention I booked this all from afar with no trials???? They still crushed my beauty visions for the day. I was just so happy with how gorgeous everyone looked and would completely recommend them to any bride!
Melissa was extremely accommodating to ensure I had the best hair/makeup experience for my wedding! We had a bit of a few trial and error leading up to the wedding, but I am thankful that Melissa took the time to pair me and my wedding party with artists who met my needs. Thanks Melissa!
Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2023
Sorry Alex that your 1st hairstylist didn't work out, but I am glad, were able to pair you with Nora that was able to nail it! - She even did a completely different (3rd style) that wasn't even the style you left with on your 2nd trial and nail...
ed it! - You looked beautiful, thanks for sharing and having us part of your day!
Marissa and Carissa were fantastic to work with! They were professional, fun to talk to, and made the entire bridal party look amazing. I felt glamorous and am so happy with my bridal look. Also, everyone said that my mom (mother of the bride) looked better than her wedding day 30 years ago!
Response from the Vendor on 06/09/2023
Thank you so much Rebecca, for the review! We had a good time with you ladies! Loved all the funny memorable stories! Can't wait to see all your photos! - Please send us some! - Melissa
I worked with Melissa Ann for hair and makeup services on my wedding day, and would highly recommend them to others! We had Rachel for hair and Holly for makeup - they came on-location on the wedding day and were both so lovely and easy to work with. They were both really nice to have in the getting-ready room that morning, and myself and the entire bridal party were all really happy with our looks. We had a variety of looks, from very natural to pretty glam, and everyone turned out great. Coordination with Melissa Ann was also really smooth - it was an overall great experience - highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of working with Diamond for my makeup trial and the day of. Diamond and her assistant helped get myself, both moms and three of my bridesmaids ready for the day. She was beyond professional, kind and made each of us feel absolutely beautiful! She had a speaker and playlist ready to go if needed and even was flexible to add on a bridesmaid last minute. Diamond’s energy and presence were so calming and wonderful for the day. Can’t say enough good things!

Hanna! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It gives me so much warmth, that my team continues to show how much we love this industry! Thank you so much! Many years of happiness! - Melissa
We cannot offer enough praises for Melissa and her crew. We worked with Melissa, Wendy, Chelsea, and Lindsay for our wedding in April 2023 and they absolutely nailed it! Our wedding parties were all very impressed. We were so thankful for everyone's dependability and kindness during the day as well--definitely loved the vibe of having a chill girls morning with them even when stress was at a high :) They were so flexible, even with a last minute address change. We would absolutely recommend these ladies to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and beautiful looks!
Response from the Vendor on 05/01/2023
Awe ♥️♥️ thank you so much! Congratulations again, our team had so much fun!
Melissa made the getting-ready process a breeze! She was professional and managed to stay ahead of schedule. Melissa created a cohesive look for the group that made everyone feel beautiful and confident, including myself! Would absolutely recommend working with Melissa!

Thank you Jessica! 😊 I enjoyed highly being a part of your morning! ♥️ Congratulations and thank you!
Melissa and her team did a fantastic job with hair and makeup for my wedding! From the very start, Melissa’s communication was personable, friendly, detailed, and quick responses. I chose to do a hair and makeup trial at the studio which went so smooth! Melissa and Susan (who did my hair) asked me questions through each step ensuring I was comfortable, and to get to know my style. On the day of my wedding they came to my wedding venue for hair and makeup services for 9 ladies. They arrived on time and setup before we got started. They added to the fun atmosphere of getting ready, and overall all of my bridesmaids and mothers loved their hair and makeup! My hair and makeup were perfect and exactly as we planned for from my trial. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Melissa Ann Artistry + CO !!

Thanks Hana, for the kind words! Elizabeth and Jorden just loved working with your wedding party. The photos and video were Beautiful! Thanks for having the Team!
I hired Melissa, in October for our Wedding in October. We had Melissa, Lindsay, Jordan, Chelsea and Geroldina for our day.
Each of them where SO amazing. Melissa was so easy to work with and put my nerves to rest. She made the booking process simple. She listened and made everything I wanted come true. Her work alone is worth EVERY PENNY!
My bridal party loved them. All of them made it enjoyable and a great experience. Very personal and easy to have conversations with.
Definitely look no further - this is the dream team!
Jorden makeup and Kerri and Susan hair. Jorden did some phenomenal work! My makeup did not budge all night. kerri did an amazing job on my hair and had great extension placement so that no one even realized I had them!
I highly recommend working with Melissa Ann. I have had great communication with her throughout the wedding planning process.

AWE THANK YOU KATY! We can't wait to post all your photos! Please share with us, when you get them!
I recently got married (bride) and hired the Melissa Ann Artistry team for my bridal party. I cannot say enough about how amazing they were! First, they showed up early to fully set up their stations before our start time. They did BEAUTIFUL work (airbrush makeup and lots of different hairstyles) with all of our different skin and hair textures, including extensions. Everyone looked so amazing. And finally, they made me feel calm! On a crazy stressful day like a wedding, it's so essential to have people around you who give off a positive energy, and this team went above and beyond! I would 100% recommend them for your wedding. I loved working with Adele and Elizabeth! 😊

Thank you so much Dani for having us! The girls loved being part of it! Can't wait for all the photos!
I hired Melissa Ann Artistry for my wedding and had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend her team (specifically Diamond and Lindsay)!
Melissa Ann is extremely responsive and answers all questions in a timely manner. She made the planning process super easy.
Diamond was my lead make up artist. She is extremely knowledgeable with years of experience in the industry. I did my trial with her and she was completely open to feedback and wanted to ensure I liked my look for the big day. We discussed about 3-4 changes that I’d like made from the trial and she was very receptive.
The day of the wedding Diamond and Lindsay did a phenomenal job. Lindsay was quick and efficient and made all of my friends look incredible. Diamond is a perfectionist, which is music to my ears. She went the extra mile to ensure the MOH, MOB, MOG, and my new sister in law looked their best. Before doing my makeup, she ran through all of the feedback I gave her and confirmed the changes she was making to ensure we were still on the same page. My make up turned out absolutely perfect. Wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Awe! Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Can't wait to see all the photos! Congratulations again!
Melissa & Elizabeth were absolutely great to work with. From the moment I had my trial with them both for my hair and makeup I knew I was in good hands. I couldn't have asked for a better team to ensure myself and my bridal party looked their absolutely stunning on my wedding day. Thank you again for being such an awesome duo to work with!
Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2022
Thank you so much for the kind words! Elizabeth and I had so much fun, and each of you were so sweet! Thank you again, for having us! ❤️💒💄
We had Adele and Geroldina do hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids and we were all happy with how it turned out. I normally don't wear makeup and was very happy with how I looked, and it held up most of the day. They even had time to do both mothers of the couple before the wedding, which made them feel more comfortable throughout the day. Very happy with how it worked out!
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2022
Awe! I am so happy you had a great experience with our team. Thank you so much for having us! We can't wait to see photos... please share with us!
Melissa Ann Artistry was really easy to work with! I had Kerri and Elizabeth as my makeup artists for my wedding. Elizabeth was so fun and outgoing to work with, my entire bridal party loved her! The women were efficient with timing and we finished way ahead of schedule for the day of!
I wanted a gothic style wedding with hair and makeup to fit the theme. Melissa, Elizabeth, and Holly were up for the challenge and NAILED IT! They honored my vision instead of trying to impose their own preferences. They were professional, but super fun, both for the test and for the actual wedding. I highly recommend Melissa Ann Makeup Artistry!

Thank you, Kathryn! We had so much fun working with you! Congratulation on you marriage!
I felt like I hit the jackpot with my hair and make-up crew. They did an amazing job and far exceeded any expectations that I had, all the while being professional, kind, helpful and honest. Both the hair stylist, Rachel, and make-up artist, Jorden, were so attuned to my wedding vision for both myself and my bridal party and were so open to any suggestions that we had. I was so happy with the results and felt like the most beautiful bride. They made it such a fun experience!!!

Awesome! Thank you so much Claire, we can't wait to see your photos!
Melissa was incredible to work with! From the start of our communication, she was super fast and responsive in answering any and all of my questions. The day of the wedding, she did an amazing job on my and all my bridal party’s makeup, and contributed to the fun morning vibe with music and an upbeat attitude!

Thank you so much Hayley! You were truly so stunning!
I hired Melissa for the bridal party makeup. Tia did our hair.
Let me tell you- they did an amazing job!!!! We all looked so beautiful!!! I cannot wait to get our pictures back!
I was impressed on how well everyone’s makeup and hair looked after our ceremony and pictures on a 90 degree day!
They worked hard, and finished ahead of schedule- which left more time for mimosa’s!!!!
You ladies are great! Thank you soooo much again!

Awe! Thank you Sarah! It was so fun.. thanks so much! 🥰
Melissa and her assistant were amazing to work with. She really listened to my vision but also pushed me to get outside of my minimal makeup comfort zone and the results were beautiful. She is professional, creative and very efficient. I would highly recommend using her for your wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 02/01/2022
Awe, thank you so much! I am glad that we were able to make you feel special! -Anytime! =)
Melissa and Tia did an incredible job with my wedding hair and makeup! Starting with my hair and makeup trials, they both took the time to really figure out what I wanted. With the help of their professional opinions, we were able to create the perfect look. On the day of my wedding they were both a pleasure to have getting ready with us. They worked very efficiently getting all of the girls ready with plenty of time to spare. They helped make the day run absolutely perfectly. I cannot say enough positive things about Melissa and Tia!

Thank you so much! I cannot wait to see your wedding pictures 😍!
Melissa was great to work with. She was fun and meshed well with our group. She was distracted by personal calls and messages but got everyone's makeup done quickly and it looked beautiful!
Response from the Vendor on 01/09/2022
Thanks Alyssa for having us for your day! Your group was also fun. I apologize for the distraction of my babysitter/family texting, and the ring notification going off from my door. As a working mother, sometimes those distractions tend to happ...
en. However I am glad you all look great and we got you all out in a timely manner. Congratulations again can't wait to see photos. - Melissa
Melissa did a fantastic job and was so easy to work with. She was on time and made sure all of my bridal party looked flawless. I would highly recommend her services for your wedding or event!
Melissa traveled to my venue, which was outside of her typical area. She did 8 girls' makeup starting at 8 am and we were done by noon. Everyone's makeup looked amazing and lasted through many happy tears. I have only done fake eyelashes that Melissa has done (for my sister's wedding and now mine) so I freak out when they are being applied but Melissa makes it bearable and calmed me down! Highly recommend!!
Melissa was amazing! She did amazing for both my trial and my weddinf makeup! I had a large wedding party and the quality she had about her work and the timeliness of the morning was incredible! I would recommend her to anyone hands down!
In addition to being timely and professional, Melissa is talented, kind, flexible, and fun! She brought upbeat music to help set the mood, was willing to make suggestions and work with me and my girls on what look we each wanted. I was looking for a more subtle style since we were having a brunch wedding. She took that into account and also glammed me up without it being too much for the time of day. I am not a full-face type of make up girl and I feel like I still looked like myself when she was finished. Even my groom said he thought it was the best I've ever looked in full-face make up, which made me even happier! Melissa is immensely talented and I would recommend her a thousand times over!
Melissa was great to work with for my wedding make up! My bridal party's makeup turned out so well and everyone loved it. I loved that she was able to personalize the looks and applications for all of us, even with many different ages in the group.
Thanks so much!!
Emily
Melissa has done my make up twice now and she does an amazing job. She is so sweet and so personable and really knows what she is doing.
Melissa, has been in the business for over 15 years. I told her to get herself on the KNOT!!! She solely worked prior word of mouth. Melissa has been an artist not only for myself, but my sisters wedding and when my mother remarried! She is truly talented! She also has other artists to help, bigger parties. She hires nothing but the best. She is awesome!
