First of all, prior to my wedding I’ve only had a spray tan once, in a booth, when I was 18. I knew when I was getting married and wearing a strapless dress exactly who to call. I ...
had a sports bra tan and didn’t want it to ruin my coveted wedding photos. Stephanie has the tanning process down to a T- including what products to use before and after to maximize your tan. Do yourself a favor and trust your skin with her and book your tan with her. If I ever have an event or just want to look like a bronzed goddess again - I will be calling her. 10/10 recommend!
You have to get your wedding (and just any of your) spray tans from Stephanie! I have pretty fair and sensitive skin, I’ve always been hesitant when it comes to spray tans. But Ste...
phanie is magic! We did a test run for my bachelorette, the color was perfect and I looked so natural. We ended up doing the same for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with the results! I looked like myself, just a little more sun kissed. Exactly what I wanted. Follow all of her tips and you’ll have the best tan for your special day!
Stephanie is amazing!! There is no one else I trusted for my wedding spray tan. I felt glowy and beautiful! The tan is flawless and natural. I will be going to her for all of my fu...

ut question drove into the area knowing Stephanie’s tans are guaranteed to be the highest quality! She always asks what your goal look is and everytime the tan is better than what you even asked for. She gives you all the before and after care to have the best tan and literally follow everything she says! Can’t wait to see her again for my next event!

cheduling and always accommates when she can! She's the best!
I first met Stephanie when one of my best friends gifted us a spray tan prior to her wedding. Stephanie first picked the shade best for our skin tone and then we picked how dark we...
wanted it to be. She made the entire process so easy and made me regret my past spray tan experiences, so much so, I knew she was who I wanted to do my spray tan for my wedding (as well as my mom's, and two sisters)! Not only does she do a great job at evenly applying the tan, making it look natural and making you feel comfortable during the process but she also gives you all the information and tips necessary to make your tan last the longest and stay in the best condition. I would highly recommend Stephanie's services to anyone that needs a tan for a special occasion or just wants a glow for a little confidence boost!
Stephanie is absolutely amazing! I just got married and was so nervous about getting a tan but I am beyond happy that I did!!! I was glowing on my wedding day all thanks to Stephan...

ts, too.) I’ve walked away as a happy and satisfied customer every time. The express formula is my favorite… washing off within 2-4 hours… sign me up! My tan was perfectly natural, golden & glowing for my wedding day! Thank you Stephanie.
There is no better tan than a tan by Stephanie!!! And trust me, i've tried them all. I got introduced to Stephanie right before my wedding and used her for my wedding day and multi...
ple other events. Her tan lasts for 7+ days and stays SO even the whole time. And she's a wonderful human to be around :) I can't say enough good things about her and look forward to my next tan!
Stephanie is hands down the BEST!!!!! I was so nervous about getting a spray tan for my wedding and I immediately felt like I was in good hands with her during our consultation! I ...
felt so confident on my wedding day because of her & my tan! I’ve honestly never had a spray tan look so natural. I chose the rapid which was great because I only had to leave it on for a few hours! On top of the color being so amazing, it faded beautifully while I was on my honeymoon! 1000/10 would recommend her to any bride or bridal party!! 🫶🏼☺️
Stephanie is the BEST. She did my tan for both my Bach party and the wedding day and both were so flawless. I have very fair skin, freckles & red hair so I was nervous about lookin...
g too dark or orange and that was not the case at all! It looked so natural, just evened out my skin tone and gave the perfect glow! Stephanie is so professional and easy to work with…she was so helpful in figuring out when to schedule the appointment so the tan would look the best day of, and she was so knowledgeable on the application and how to keep it from being anything less than perfect. She’s amazing! Hire her!!

urally tan and beautiful and the process was so easy. I’ve had spray tans before but none as great as mine with Stephanie! I will always use her when I need a spray tan in the future.
I had always scoffed at the idea of getting a spray tan and then I got my engagement photos back and knew I had to do something for my wedding- I looked so pale! I scheduled a tria...
l tan with Stephanie about 6 weeks before my wedding and it was amazing. I was so nervous about an orange tint or being way too dark to look natural, but she did an incredible job. I did the same shade for my wedding and no one could even tell I had a spray tan! It didn’t transfer on my dress either, which I was pretty nervous about.
Stephanie treats her clients so well and goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and prepared. Couldn’t recommend her more!
I got a tan by Stephanie as a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding and could not have been happier with how it turned out!!! The tan was so natural with the perfect glow and has ...
lasted so well! The solution didn’t feel tacky at all & the express tan delivered awesome results so quickly! The application was really the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had my fair share of spray tans) no splotchy spots anywhere! I couldn’t recommend Tan’s by Stephanie more!
Stephanie has spray tanned me for years and I trusted her completely when it came to my wedding spray tan. It was the perfect color that not only looked amazing in person but also ...
in pictures. If you are looking for the perfect color for your wedding or event, Stephanie is your girl.
Stephanie is my go to person for spray tans. The first time I got a spray tan was for my bridal shower! I really wanted one for the wedding and thought it was a great place start. ...
Stephanie makes you feel completely comfortable and the tans are flawless. She makes my skin look so natural beautiful and glowy. I used her for my bachelorette party, my wedding, before any vacation I go on, my birthdays and any special event. I would recommend her in a heart beat!
I had never had a spray tan before and Stephanie was recommended to me by my makeup artist for my wedding. Stephanie was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable! My tan looked fl...
awless and no one could tell that it wasn’t natural. It was so perfect! She always was able to give me good advice to maintain it and it lasted for a long time. Thank you!!
I had never received a spray tan before my first one with Stephanie. I was nervous but hopeful it would turn out good without doing a trial run. She had amazing reviews so I figure...
d why not. She came to my house and was on time, friendly and professional. We talked briefly while she was getting ready about what I wanted and I felt comfortable in trusting she understood. The tan turned out amazing and I received so many compliments during that weekend!! I couldn’t have been more pleased! Fast forward a few months, I moved to SD and needed another spray tan. I found someone local and was hoping for the same experience. However, this was not the case. The tan was streaky and I had stains on my hands and feet. It was so awful. I was embarrassed about having to attend multiple social events with it clearly showing I got a spray tan. I contacted Stephanie and asked for some advise and she was so kind and helpful!! Not only did she give me a perfect tan but she also helped me out even when I went to someone else. I will not be going to anyone else in the future!! Thank you Stephanie!
Stephanie was incredible! I received her information through a friend because I wanted to get a great spray tan for my wedding. I went to her home and she was so welcoming and prof...
essional and made me feel extremely comfortable! I've had a lot of spray tans for special events (I'm so pale 😂) and I have to say, the one I got with Stephanie for my wedding was hands down the best one I've ever had. I will never go anywhere else for a spray tan! It looked natural and glowy and I felt absolutely amazing in it!
Stephanie is absolutely amazing! I was sprayed by her twice before my big day and she makes you feel so comfortable and like she’s known you for a long time.
The first time I went ...
to her, I was so nervous and had no idea what to expect. Immediately, I felt like she was my friend and we were just hanging out. She’s super fast and gives you great information about how to care for your tan. I had a million questions and she was able to answer all of them. My tans always look natural and are never orange or spotty. One of my favorite parts of getting sprayed by Stephanie is getting powdered with the setting powder. The whole experience is so relaxing. Stephanie is just a fantastic person overall and I will keep getting sprayed by her. She made me feel great on my special day and my tan even lasted through our week long honeymooning Tahiti!
Stephanie is the only option for spray tanning, she’s affordable, easy to get a hold of, the tan looks natural and she’s just the best
Very natural looking tan for a GREAT price! She is very good at what she does. I have had spray tans from other places a lot and this was definitely my best one ever.
First, getting fully naked in front of a stranger isn’t easy.
But Stephanie makes you feel like you’re speaking to a girlfriend. She profesional, polite, has a great personality a...
nd most importantly. She is great at what she does
I was a little scared as I am naturally tan but wanted a glow for my special day. Stephanie guided me on what tan tone to chose and BAM I looked and felt stunning on my special day.
I can’t be more grateful for her kindness and guidance.
Just ensure you follow the detailed steps she provides before your tan.
She messages you this cute link to-do list.
Which is simple to follow.
So ladies and gentlemen. Whether you are tan or light please get your bridal glow with Stephanie. You will be happy you did.
Happy Bride

If you’ve been waffling on whether or not you want to get a spray tan for you wedding- let this review be your sign to do it!
Stephanie’s tans are flawless every time. I have been...
going to her for years now. From music festivals to my own wedding day she never disappoints. She is professional and you can tell how much she loves her job.
And if you’re someone who is uncomfortable with a stranger seeing your private bits... I understand, but I hope you don’t let that get in the way of you feeling like a tanned goddess.
10/10 stars for Tans by Stephanie!

ecided to get my first spray tan for a bachelorette party last month I made an appointment with Stephanie! My tan turned out GORGEOUS! So even, very natural, and lasted a full seven days of me working out and showering daily before it started to wear - no joke! Also, I love love LOVE that she can come to you, or you can go to her; HUGE plus!!
I got so many compliments on my tan for looking natural, and I loved my experience so much that I booked Stephanie again 2 weeks later to tan me for a wedding that I attended on June 11! And Stephanie herself - a complete sweetheart. She made me feel completely comfortable, was professional, funny and so kind at both of my appointments! She'll remain my go-to tanning artist for as long as I live within driving distance of her, beyond a shadow of a doubt!

I could not recommend her more for your big day!!!
