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 f...
ull 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!

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 weddi...
ng 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.

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.

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.

I highly recommend her and her team for your wedding.

ith 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!!!

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 t...
hey 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 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. Howev...
er, 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 wi...

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 abs...

o 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 !!

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 pl...
anning 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!

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 M...
elissa 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 gr...
