The Bridal Artistry Co.

Mariel was absolutely amazing! She truly made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. When I wasn't happy with my first hair trial she was very accommodating and understanding, and she crushed it with my second hair trial. And my hair and make up on my wedding day was absolutely perfect. I had her stay the entire day to do touch ups and she was so helpful throughout the day. Fixing any hair out of line and touching up my make up when needed. I couldn't recommend her services enough. She was a pleasure to work with!

Mariel was the best decision I made for my wedding day. She perfectly curated looks for each of us that was natural and came out exactly as we wanted. Even with our tight schedule Mariel was able to complete all 5 girls hair and makeup ahead of schedule. My hair and makeup was impeccable and lasted well over 12 hours. She helped to set the perfect tone for the day with her positive energy and professionalism. Thank you for your patience, your creativity, and for making us all feel beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better artist to be a part of our special day.

Mariel was so unbelievably easy to work with. She understood my vision for hair and makeup and matched it perfectly. She handled us adding an extra person for hair and makeup semi-last minute wonderfully and gave us a timeline that allowed for touch ups at the end. Everyone looked perfect for the wedding. She was kind and it was easy to chat while she was working. I have very sensitive eyes and she made sure to give me breaks while working around my eyes and gave me space to stretch my legs. She handled the fact that some of my people getting hair and make-up were late wonderfully and helped me with my extensions during that time. Highly recommend!

Mariel is incredibly talented! She is so passionate about her craft and she truly puts you at ease while preparing for your big day. Mariel is extremely organized, responsive, and prompt and it makes all the difference! She did my hair and makeup along with my mom, sister in law, and wiggly 4-year-old niece. We were so grateful for Mariel’s ability to naturally glam us all up! She used each of our inspiration pictures to create similar looks on us and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined! I had a non-traditional wedding ceremony on a Jersey City pier in December and even with the wind, our hair and makeup stayed in place all night long! I could not recommend The Bridal Artistry Co./Mariel enough!

As a bride with curly hair and an outdoor farm venue, I was initially quite nervous about choosing a wedding day style - I knew I wanted something that would embrace my natural texture, but also could last all day without frizzing in case of rain or wind. After finding The Bridal Artistry Co. on Instagram and admiring Mariel’s work, I was thrilled to learn that she still had my date open, and also had extensive experience working with brides’ natural hair textures. As soon as I arrived for my trial, I knew I was in the hands of an incredibly talented artist and a true professional! She listened to my ideas, preferences, and concerns during the consultation, and worked with my natural curls and headpiece to create the most gorgeous updo - I remember gasping and saying “I never could have imagined my curls looking like this!” I absolutely loved my natural yet glam makeup as well! Mariel is very organized, providing clear instructions for the bride and bridal party in advance, as well as a detailed schedule of all services for the day of. She easily accommodated my large group of bridesmaids, traveled to my venue, and along with Tressa, ensured hair and makeup services were completed smoothly and in more than enough time. She covered all of the little details, like making sure that my mom and sister knew how to take my veil in and out of my updo. My bridal party and I had an absolutely PERFECT experience getting ready thanks to The Bridal Artistry Co.! Mariel, thank you for making me feel like the best version of myself and for your support, positivity and kindness throughout this process. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mariel and the Bridal Artistry Co. - hands down, the best of the best ✨ 10/10 Recommend!!!

Simply put: I am so happy I chose The Bridal Artistry Co. Prior to the wedding, all communication regarding pricing, the bridal trial, and day of planning felt easy and smooth. Mariel had to make a schedule to accommodate myself and 10 others. From the second Mariel and her two girls arrived (perfectly on time), they were ready to work, stayed on schedule, and also were just super enjoyable to be around. Nothing felt uptight or forced. I let my girls choose ANY hairstyle and makeup style and they accommodated each and every one. I have some picky girls, everyone was happy, and everyone still looked good several hours later. I was beyond happy with my hair and makeup, and it photographed better than I ever imagined. Logistically, having one vendor for both hair and makeup made everything from communication/coordination to payment/tipping easier. I believe her pricing was completely reasonable and if I were doing it again, I would use The Bridal Artistry Co. again. Thanks Mariel!

I was lucky enough to work with Mariel for my two weddings -- an intimate COVID minimony in 2020 and a full wedding last February, and she and her team were incredible. I had a large bridal party that had lots of strong preferences for hair and makeup, and Mariel and her team managed to make everyone happy and their most beautiful selves, all while staying on schedule. I couldn't recommend her more, she was one of the best vendors we worked with!

Mariel was truly an expert. She took the time to give me a detailed walk through of how to prepare, what extensions to get, hair pieces, and a variety of looks. On the day-of, we had a number of last minute change-ups - I forgot to pre-wash my extensions and ended up deciding on my hair style that day, plus my sister's girlfriend ended up getting her hair done. She and her team were incredibly flexible and put me at-ease. They were also so nice about last minute touch ups and changes. My hair stayed and makeup stayed perfectly the entire night. Definitely recommend Mariel and her team - you can rest assured you will be in great hands!

I was not the easiest bride when it came to hair and makeup, turns out I had a very particular vision and Mariel was so gracious and flexible in accommodating it! I don't know much about makeup and especially not bridal makeup, but Mariel was always patient with my ever-changing whims. I really felt like a princess at my wedding! I love that Mariel does both hair and makeup---not only does that make all communications smoother, but I also think it makes it so she has a better understanding of your hair and makeup vision because she does them both. My makeup stayed on ALL day, including my false lashes! This is major because I've experiences with other makeup artists where my false lashes came off after only a few hours. My hair also stayed in place the entire time. My bridal party and I looked beautiful all day thanks to Mariel and her team!

Seriously WOW! Mariel and her team are truly top notch and I could not imagine another group there to get me and my wedding party ready on the morning of our big day! From the beginning, Mariel was quick to respond and was extremely thorough in her contract. We planned a trial day that worked for us both. For the trial day, Mariel's space was clean and organized and she was extremely welcoming. I was blown away by her work. As a person who does not typically wear makeup, she put together a look that was natural while also so glamorous. After the trial I was confident that her work was what I needed on the wedding day. Before the wedding day, Mariel provided details instructions on what was to be expected on the morning of and how my party and I could best prepare. She provided a schedule as to when everyone would be getting their hair and makeup done. On the morning of Mariel and her team were right on time and get to work immediately. They kept on schedule and got me and my girls ready with plenty of time to spare. Mariel and her team were friendly and so incredibly positive. Starting our day with Mariel was the perfect start to my wedding day and I could not imagine anyone else being there in those early hours. Her work is flawless. Everyone's hair and makeup looked incredible and lasted through the night. I HIGHLY recommend!

Mariel was lovely to work with from start to finish – her personality and overall demeanor make her a great addition to wedding day prep. Throughout the process, she was gracious when it came to feedback and direction, but also direct when needed. As someone who does not wear a lot of make-up and wanted a more natural look, Mariel was able to achieve this while also making me feel like the most glamourous version of myself. We wound up doing two trials because my allergies did not cooperate the first time around but could not have been more comfortable going into the day. Her team day of was just as great – positive energy and immediately immersed themselves into the group. All around it was a dream experience working with The Bridal Artistry.

I have never felt more beautiful than when Mariel glams me up. I have had her do updos and long extension curls and could not have been happier with both. She is truly the updo QUEEN. Looking for makeup I wanted someone who had a more natural feel to look like myself on my wedding day. Mariel did just this, checking in throughout my trial to make sure I was okay with all shades/ tones . My bridesmaids were so impressed and happy with their hair and makeup day of, her team also absolutely amazing and accommodating to a room full of girls with different styles. I will absolutely be calling Mariel for future events. I could not recommend her or her team enough! Thank you Mariel!!! SO happy I had you for my special day !

Mariel and her team did hair and makeup for myself, my moms, and all of my bridesmaids. Everyone LOVED their hair and makeup. Very simple, elegant, classic looks. She was able to take feedback from my bridal trial and make the changes to make my hair perfect day-of. Mariel and her team were so sweet and personable too. It really made the morning of the wedding a fun and no-stress time :)

Mariel is a MUST for your event! My mom was very hesitant to wear make up and her final hair/make up look was exactly what she was looking for. 5 stars for working with difficult moms and 5 stars for my bridal look! I didn’t have a single thing I wanted to change and my whole bridal party was thrilled!

I am so happy I chose Mariel and the Bridal Artistry Co. for my wedding! Mariel was a dream to work with: professional, responsive, and compassionate. Due to the pandemic, I ended up having to reschedule my wedding twice, and Mariel was beyond understanding and accommodating. As someone who works in the beauty industry myself, I knew I was going to be pretty picky about my wedding look, and Mariel DELIVERED. She understood my vision and executed it perfectly, making it last through 12+ hours of wedding festivities. It was so fun talking product with her, and her kit is stocked with the best of the industry. Mariel and her team also did an amazing job on my mom and bridesmaids. They all looked stunning, and everyone got so many compliments throughout the night. I loved how Mariel and Randi made my mom feel like a queen—you could tell she was feeling her look! In short, I highly recommend working with Mariel for your wedding! While wedding planning is never going to be stress-free, Mariel really made this part of it as seamless as possible. A huge thank you to Mariel for everything!

Mariel and her team are the absolute best! I would highly recommend her! I loved my entire look, as did my bridesmaids and family who got their hair and makeup done. I decided to change both my hair and makeup looks slightly between my trial and the wedding and Mariel was extremely accommodating. She was also always responsive and kept us all on schedule throughout the wedding day. You will not regret booking with Mariel!!

Before working with Mariel, I had been a bridesmaid in a handful of weddings in the recent years so needless to say I was prepared with all the ways I did not want to look on my wedding day after so many trial runs in other people’s weddings. I’ve never been one for too much make up as I don’t love how it looks on me in real life but know how important it is for photos so striking the right balance would be no easy attempt but Mariel gave me exactly what I asked for (and avoided the very long list of things I did not want!) and more! Being as particular as I am, I even asked her to make some small changes the morning of the wedding from what she did in the trial and she nailed it. I was truly blown away and so incredibly happy with how subtle but glamorous she made my makeup and delivered the most perfect bridal ponytail that I had been dreaming up in my head but had never found a picture to capture exactly what I was thinking….until Mariel made it come to life. My day was truly in so many ways but best of all was not having to worry one bit about my hair or makeup - it lasted the entire day (and through A LOT of dancing), all making the entire experience perfect. I can’t recommend enough using Mariel for your wedding look - you will be beyond happy and have a great experience working with her. Thank you for everything Mariel!!!

Mariel and her team are absolutely the best. I had three different wedding dates through Covid and she handled the changes with kindness and efficiency. I even changed my hair color and length and she accommodated me for a new hair and makeup trial! She made me and my girls feel gorgeous–seriously each of my bridesmaids have such unique looks and she made them look amazing and badass! The day of was so incredibly smooth. Her team was on time and they were SO fast. The makeup and skin care that she used was super high quality and I cannot say enough how cautious she was to make sure everything was disinfected between each girl (I've been seriously grossed out by other H&MU artists in the past). To finally wrap up on how amazing she is, my husband was in a bike accident a month before our wedding and she jumped in last minute to help cover the scar on his face right before the photos started. Mariel, thank you for making my wedding the day I always dreamed of. Would not have been the same without you!

Mariel is an absolute rockstar and made me feel so beautiful and natural on my wedding day. She did hair and makeup for me, my mom, and my bridal party. Not only did everyone look amazing, but she also kept us on schedule and provided a pep talk when needed. Truly a pro. I cannot recommend Mariel enough.

Mariel was wonderful to work with from start to finish. As a Covid bride, I had to reschedule my wedding several times, and she was super flexible and accommodating as plans changed. She is easy to communicate with and worked side by side with my photographer to ensure hair and makeup was completed on schedule for my big bridal party and my mom, stepmom and MIL. She and her team were very professional and fun to work with on the wedding day and everyone's hair and makeup lasted all day. I would highly recommend choosing Mariel for your big day!

Mariel was amazing to work with from my trial hair session to the day of the wedding. She communicated with me multiple times leading up to the wedding day in order to make sure logistics were in place for the day to run smoothly. On the day, she did the hair of 7 people all by herself and everyone looked incredible! My bridal hairdo lasted all night, through dancing and everything, and looked as flawless by the end of the night as it did when the event began. Mariel executed my wedding hair dreams and vision ten times over and I would highly recommend her to any brides out there looking for a stress-free experience with not only a very talented, but also a very kind, flexible, and patient stylist!

Mariel and her team were amazing! I loved my wedding day look and all the girls loved theirs! Makeup and hair was flawless and lasted all day! Would highly recommend the Bridal Artistry team, Mariel listened to my vision and my look came out exactly how I wanted!!

Mariel and her team were absolutely amazing on my wedding day. I ended up changing my mind on what hair style I wanted after my hair trial and Mariel knocked it out of the park. The hair and makeup lasted all day and night. The rest of my wedding party absolutely loved was she, Tressa and Dara did to their hair as well. Mariel was super responsive to all of my emails and created a schedule that kept us on time! The team at Bridal Artistry is worth it! You won't be disappointed! 10/10 would recommend!

Booked based on via multiple recommendations and exceeded expectations. Mariel and team are amazing! Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing for 10+ hours. Mariel is amazing to work with especially with dealing with a covid postponement. She was responsive, prompt, professional, helpful, and just the nicest!

Mariel and her team are outstanding. I have to reschedule my wedding and she was able to provide top notch artists for my new date. Everyone was extremely professional and incredibly kind. My hair and makeup survived tropical weather on a humid and hot August day, which in itself is a miracle. I made it known that I sweat more than the average person and the makeup artist used the best products to help keep my makeup last for the entire day and it worked. As for my hair, it was seriously the most perfect look ever. From hair and makeup trials to the day of, everything was flawless. Mariel is a true gem to work with and I highly recommend her for anyone’s wedding or special event!

If you are lucky enough to be planning a wedding on a day that Mariel still has available on her calendar, you better book it!! Mariel was amazing to work with from initial inquiry, to scheduling a hair/makeup trial, to booking and finally to the day of! Mariel and her teammate Dara came prepared to help get myself and my bridal party ready for the big day. They created and kept a schedule perfectly and I think we even finished a few minutes ahead of schedule! Also, everyone in my bridal party loved their looks and felt beautiful! Thank you Mariel!!!

Mariel is a ROCKSTAR. My husband and I had cancelled our original wedding plans and decided to get married in an intimate wedding ceremony with our immediate families on Thanksgiving with a bigger celebration with family and friends the following Labor Day. Mariel was extremely accommodating and agreed to my request to have my trial be the day of the intimate ceremony. It was just the two of us for most of that morning and I honestly felt like I was hanging out with an old friend….an old friend who was able to make my hair and makeup look flawless, that is. When I had decided to go for a different look for the wedding celebration, I was torn on wearing my hair up or down. Mariel talked me through both styles and provided her honest and professional opinion on what she thought I should do.. I went with her suggestion and it was the best decision I could have made. (PSA: if Mariel suggests a ponytail, WEAR A PONYTAIL) On the day of the wedding, I was so blown away by my hair and makeup that I actually teared up when I saw myself. My bridesmaids also looked absolutely stunning – everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup that they’re still talking about how good of a job Mariel and Dara did weeks later. Mariel is by far one of the best hair and makeup artists I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only is she extremely talented, but she has an awesome personality that brings a calm and fun energy to what can often be an emotionally packed day. I am so thankful to have been able to book her for both weddings and I could not recommend her enough!!

The Bridal Artistry Co. is second to none! From initial contact, to my trial, to the day of, Mariel and her team were exceptional. Mariel's responsiveness, professionalism, and can-do attitude make her a pleasure to work with. My hair and makeup somehow came out even more stunning from the trial! We had such an amazing day being pampered and turned into models by Mariel, Tressa, and Dara. No tweak was too small or big to be made to ensure we all felt like our best selves. My flower girl especially loved her hair do! Our hair and makeup lasted all day and night without so much as an eyelash being out of place. I would 1000% work with The Bridal Artistry Co. again!

I cannot recommend Mariel enough! I first met Mariel when she did my hair and makeup for a friends wedding and I booked her for mine shortly there after. Extremely responsive, professional, HELPFUL and knowledgeable. My trial was amazing, and day of glam even better. 10/10 for sure. Mariel, I cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us yesterday. I received one million compliments on my hair and makeup and the whole bridal party looked flawless. Thank you for keeping me at ease all morning! And thank you for making me look and feel like an actual celeb housewife and the great shot at church! XOXOXO

From start to finish Mariel was SO wonderful. Before I even got to meet her I was so impressed with how accommodating, responsive, and kind she was! Obviously the post-pandemic wedding rush has all these wonderful vendors stretched thin and working non-stop, but Mariel was so attentive and truly cared about her client’s overall experience, not just hair and makeup and I was so thankful for that! But let’s talk hair and makeup now because I felt like a showstopper!!! The idea in my mind came to life! I had some photos to go of off, but nothing that showed exactly what I was looking for and she somehow pulled it out of my brain and made it reality. And to make the experience even better, she was such a calming presence on my actual wedding day. She was so patient and detail oriented and she wanted us all to feel perfect and totally in love with the way we looked! THANK YOU MARIEL!

I can’t recommend Mariel enough! She came as a recommendation to me from a good friend and I’m so happy, it was one of the easiest and best decisions of my wedding day :) From the moment she did my trial I knew I was in good hands. She was always responsive and open to little changes I had in the time between my trial and the big day, gave me skincare advice leading up to it, and was generally a soundboard for the crazy that was planning a wedding amidst a pandemic. On the day of my wedding I felt like me and my family were hanging out with one of our friends - she makes everyone feel so comfortable and she is such a kind hearted gem of a human. She totally killed my wedding day look and heard exactly what I was after. I truly can’t say enough good things about her. I hope I can work with her again soon!

I cannot recommend Mariel and her team enough! We had to postpone our celebration twice due to COVID and she was responsive and flexible both times. My husband and I got married on our second date and Mariel wasn't available so she set me up with Andrea who did a fantastic job! For our reception several months later, Mariel and Tressa did the makeup for myself, the 4 bridesmaids, grandmother, MOB, and MOG and did a fantastic job! They were on-time, prepared, and listened to exactly what each person wanted. They were also so fun to chat with and made our morning that much more special. They were so efficient that we even ended ahead of schedule! My hair and makeup were flawless, stayed in place throughout the entire evening, and looked fantastic in photos! Thank you Mariel, Andrea, and Tressa!!

I initially hesitated on booking my hair and make-up services after I got engaged because the prices scared me a little at first! As I dug deeper into the work of the vendors I was contemplating, I really felt like Mariel and her team were worth it. While Mariel was already booked up for my wedding day, she sent me Lexie and Charlotte who were an amazing team. I did my trial with Lexie and Charlotte in the summer of 2019 (for an originally planned May 2020 wedding). But, due to covid, we ended up postponing TWICE. And Mariel helped me each time to coordinate with Lexie and Charlotte to ensure we were all set for our new wedding day. Finally in May 2021, I was able to get married. Lexie and Charlotte were punctual, professional, fun, and such a calming presence in our getting ready room. And they made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my FMIL look INCREDIBLE (and they did it ahead of schedule!). The team at Bridal Artistry Co is 100% worth every penny - you’ll look fabulous, I promise.

Mariel and her team were a dream to work with. They were flexible even through all the madness of COVID. They did my hair and make up, my bridesmaids hair and my maid of honor's hair and make up. They did a wonderful job with everyone. Mariel did a great job at understanding my style and creating a look that was perfect for me. And she's just a wonderful person to be around! I was so grateful to have them as part of my day

Mariel did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, as well as hair for my bridesmaids and my mother. Mariel was so kind and friendly from the first time I spoke to her, and I knew right away she would be perfect for my big day. I did the wedding trial with her (which I highly recommend) and it really helped me see exactly how everything would look on my wedding day, and this gave me peace of mind that everything would be how I envisioned. I also asked her (fairly last minute) to do hair for my bridesmaids and mother and she was super flexible about it, picking up the extra work with no problem at all. Everyone looked amazing on the day of, and I felt like a princess. I highly recommend working with Mariel for your wedding day. She was amazing!

Mariel did my hair and makeup for my wedding in August, 2020. I originally was supposed to get married in May, but due to covid i had to reschedule my wedding and the original hair and makeup I booked wasn't available. I found Mariel online and instantly loved her work!! When I reached out she was so professional and responsive and came to my house to do a hair/makeup trial for my mother like literally the next day which saved me so much stress and so much time. I am so happy she came to us. She was organized, on time, and great with everything! My hair and makeup came out AMAZING and stayed throughout the night!! It was exactly how I envisioned my hair to be on my wedding day. My mother is difficult to please and she was very happy how her hair and makeup came out as well!! I would definitely recommend her!!

I had the pleasure of working with Mariel as a bridesmaid before I was a bride and knew when my day came there was no one who would make me feel more beautiful than Mariel! When Covid-19 hit, Mariel was so great with all the changes and 100% supportive of us continuing with our date! Before my trial and our wedding day, Mariel was amazingly transparent of her sanitary process and in-person precautions she would be taking which made myself and all my girls feel extremely safe. I am so grateful for my trial with Mariel because she talked me out of what I said I wanted in the best way possible! She talked with me in length and asked a bunch of questions before even touching my hair/face and that is where she heard everything I wanted would make me feel uncomfortable. So with many pictures and actually listening to me, she created what made me feel like the most beautiful, and comfortable, bride! Day of, Mariel was the REAL MVP of my wedding day! We unexpectedly got extremely behind the morning of the wedding but Mariel worked her incredible magic to keep us on track. Not only did she make me feel like the most beautiful bride inside and out but she was a listening ear when things got hectic, she opened the door of the church for me when no one was there to do so, she was my "posing" coach which I desperately needed and was always there to fix my hair/make-up/dress when needed. I highly, highly recommend the VIP package with Mariel if you are a fellow Covid-19 bride who needed to switch their wedding outdoors to comply with guidelines. Throughout the day Mariel curled my hair multiple times to ensure it was not falling for photos. She was also there to touch up and help my girls as needed and it was so worth it! I am normally my own worst critic when looking at photos of myself but because of Mariel, I have scrolled through my wedding photos and can confidently say I felt and looked beautiful the day of my wedding and am forever grateful to her for that!

Mariel was fantastic! The reviews did not disappoint. For the trial, Mariel came to my home, was very neat. She listened to my concerns and created a look that I loved. For the wedding day, she created a schedule for the wedding party to get ready with on time, with enough time for touch ups. This was huge because the day can be stressful and it was one less thing to worry about! She and her assistance we punctual, sociable, and kind! Everyone looked beautiful and like themselves! All the wedding photos came out beautifully. Great experience

So much love for this company!!! Mariel was incredible to work with! She made me feel like my absolute best self on my wedding day. My hair is admittedly difficult to work with because it never holds a style for long. On that day my hair was absolutely perfect. It looked sleek and sophisticated (just how I wanted) and didn't move a smidge all day long. Both my hair and makeup looked just as great in the morning as they did when I got home. Same for my bridesmaids/moms as well! Everyone looked gorgeous and glowy. She makes the booking and trial process so seamless, and stress-free. Couldn't be more thankful for her! Look no further!

Mariel was a joy to work with throughout the wedding planning process. From our initial trial it was clear that she cared deeply about her clients, the quality of her work, and making sure that brides feel confident on their special day. Mariel went above and beyond helping us navigate the COVID-19 crisis. At a time when we were both very stressed (my husband works at a hospital in NYC), Mariel was easy to work with. She gave us her availability for 2021 and we worked together to secure a new date for our celebration without any additional fees. I was lucky that Mariel was available for our minimony in August 2020. She showed up at my parent’s house bright and early with all the necessary precautions in place (mask, gloves, etc.) and worked with my 2 sisters, mom and I to have us looking beautiful on time for the ceremony. During the wedding planning process (especially during these crazy times) you want vendors in your corner who are willing to roll with the punches, stand by your side, and make your experience as fluid as possible. Mariel was that vendor for us. I can’t recommend her services enough and am excited to work with her again next August!

I met Mariel and her team back in May of 2018 for a friends wedding. I knew from that day forward she was going to be my makeup artist for my wedding! Mariel, goes ABOVE AND BEYOND in making your glam makeup for you big day GLOW! My wedding was during the pandemic , where things did change last minute! Mariel and her team made sure to accommodate me in anyway possible. I AM SO HAPPY I CHOSE MARIEL AND HER TEAM! I will be using her for other events too!

amazing! We had to move our wedding date like so many. Mariel was wonderful to work with even before the pandemic, but she really worked with us when we had to change our date VERY last minute; I don't think I can stress enough how much that meant. Mariel is a wonderful MUA and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome! I highly recommend Mariel and The Bridal Artistry Co.

Brides, look no further! The Bridal Artistry Co. is the real deal. After using Mariel for my 2020 minimony, I am so excited for my entire bridal party to use The Bridal Artistry Co. for my 2021 ceremony and reception. Mariel did my (very thick and curly) hair and make up in record time. She was a pleasure to work with (during a global pandemic) and I enjoyed spending time with her the morning of my wedding. I loved the outcome and both my hair and make up lasted all day and night! I can't say enough about how amazing she is. Thank you, Mariel! Can't wait for this summer.

Mariel did a really amazing job! I had originally hired her for my August 2020 wedding, but we ended up postponing for 2021 and doing a minimony in July. We threw together the minimony plans really last minute, but Mariel was able to be really flexible in fitting me in early in the morning before the event. She has also been really understanding in working with us for the postponement. I showed her the photos of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like and it came out even better than what I had ever imagined. I can't recommend her enough!

First and foremost, I cannot thank Bridal Artistry Co. enough for beautifully and effectively doing the hair and makeup of both my husband and my large, mix-gendered wedding parties in the 2 different locations where we were getting ready. Overall, I think all of our wedding party and the MOB and MOG were very happy with their hair and makeup. Additionally, I really liked how my makeup came out. I was even convinced to try the false lashes which are usually hard for my eyes, but was very glad I did! There were a few small snafus throughout the day, but nothing that wouldn't have me recommend them to someone else to try: First, I did think that the trial of my hair came out a bit better than the look day-of at my wedding. I think my hair got better later in the day once it loosened a bit. But I do remember not being quite 100% ecstatic when it was just finished, but because we were a little running late in the schedule (see below for more details) I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Second, to this end, the florist messed up the bouquet and boutonniere order pretty significantly which meant, mid-my hair being done for my wedding I had to disappear into the bedroom with my Matron of Honor for about 30-45 minutes to call the florist, redo the bouquets by hand with flowers leftover from the rehearsal dinner the night before, and instruct the deliveryman what had to be delivered where. I understand this must have been frustrating for the hair and makeup team but unfortunately we didn't have a wedding planner to fix this error- I was the only one who knew the logistics. I did feel a bit rushed by the team to come back and finish my hair, but if the flowers weren't fixed immediately none of the wedding party photos would have had flowers in them as my husband was getting ready at his parents' house in a completely different neighborhood. Finally, my mother-in-law got a bit upset with her side of the team day-of to be honest. We had planned in advance for the MOG, my husband's "groomsmaids", and the flower girl to have their hair done at my husband's parents' house. I know everything was scheduled and payment figured out months in advance, however, my mother-in-law (not knowing how all of this worked) asked the team day-of to pay to have a close family friend of hers, who was the mother of one of the ring bearers, have her hair & makeup done as well. Of course with something as regimented as a wedding day I understand this probably could not be done, but it wasn't so much the completely understandable "no" so much as the delivery which she described at "very curt". She became upset and forgot to tip the side of the team working at her place amidst the flurry of everything going on which meant that they called over to where I was getting ready and therefore I was alerted as to the issue. I of course was not going to let them go untipped by any means, especially since they did a great job with everyone who did have their hair and makeup done, so then I had to rush around along with my parents to try to find extra cash as all tips had carefully been pre-calculated, put in envelopes, and planned out ahead of time. I of course didn't mind doing this, but on top of the flower mishap, it added another element of stress to the day. Overall, I must reiterate that the Bridal Artistry Co was very friendly, punctual, and I really liked their more natural look to their work that didn't look overdone or "beauty pageant-y". So truly thank you!!

Mariel was excellent! It was unreal how she was able organize 6 of us for hair and makeup on the day by herself. Everyone was completely happy with their looks. She was professional and organized throughout the entire process.

Mariel was wonderful to work with for my wedding in October of 2019! I found her by searching on The Knot and was happy with her positive reviews and transparent pricing. I had a hair and makeup trial with her. Mariel made me feel comfortable and was very helpful talking through and trying out my different ideas. On my wedding day Mariel did a fantastic job on my makeup and she helped me make a last minute change to my bun adding more curls and volume which turned out better then I could have imagined. I would definitely recommend Mariel and her team!

You want to be beautiful on your wedding day. You have a vision of yourself walking down the aisle. The pressure is on to prepare yourself for the photos that you will have for the rest of your life. As someone that does not know the first thing about makeup, it was the part that made me most nervous. I wanted to go for a really natural look so I would still feel like myself but enhanced. That is precisely what Mariel did. She was the most responsive and professional out of anyone I've ever worked with before. I showed her pictures of what I liked and honestly, she surpassed my expectations that were already high looking at her profile. She magically turns you into the best version of yourself. Mariel also did the hair and makeup for my mom and my friends. They were super super happy with the results. They really looked beyond stunning and that is so important for the good vibes of the day :). Mariel was so kind and she made us feel so comfortable. From the beginning to the end it was such a positive and fun experience. I cannot recommend her enough. All my friends are already planning on booking her as well. Thank you so much Mariel for making my wedding day preparation run so smoothly you really are the best.

Right from beginning, Mariel was responsive and helpful in trying to figure out the look I wanted for my wedding day. We changed my hair from the trial to the wedding day and I received so many compliments. Mariel and her team were such an important part of our day and it was an absolute pleasure to have her around! If I could have her do my hair and make up every day I would. All my bridesmaids and mother were so happy. Everyone had different hairstyles and make up and each of them could not stop talking about how much they loved their look! Do not hesitate in booking Mariel and her team. She will make you look and feel beautiful. Mariel, thank you for all your hard work! I can’t wait to work with you again xoxo
