If I could give her 10 stars I would. My wedding planner had referred me to Veronica and a couple other vendors. I was surprised that out of everyone I contacted, she was the onl...y one who did not require a deposit and a contract in advance. I found it strange that I was asked for these things before I had a chance to see the work from these companies. When I contacted Veronica for more information I was pleasantly surprised that she did not push me for a deposit or for booking. She encouraged me to do a trial as soon as possible with whomever I selected so I had time to keep looking if I was not happy with their work. I appreciated her advice and her approach. I finally narrowed things down to Veronica and another company based on pricing and requirements for booking. I contacted the company for a trial and they wanted a contract, deposit, and to book the trial closer to the wedding. The red flag went up in my head but I still did not trust my gut. I set up a trial with this company and as per Veronica's recommendation, I asked for a trial as soon as possible. The company said it would be best to wait until closer to the wedding but I insisted and they finally agreed to do the trial within a few weeks. THANK GOODNESS I did this. The trial was awful. I was aged 10 years and although I am an older Bride, I look better when I do my makeup myself. I gave the company a second chance and this trial was even worse. I immediately turned around and contacted Veronica and here is where my experience turned around completely. Veronica was so thorough in the trial. The previous artist from the other company did not ask a single question and in retrospect, this is probably why things turned out bad. Veronica asked me so many questions I felt as though she really understood me and the look I wanted for my bridal look. I became even more self conscious about being an older bride because of my previous trials but Veronica immediately put me at ease. She worked quickly and before I knew it she was done. It was amazing. I have never felt more beautiful while at the same time felt completely like myself. She turned my chair to the mirror and I was speechless while overwhelmed with joy. It was the opposite reaction to my previous trials and thankfully so. The wedding day, Veronica came with an assistant and completed my bridal party and families makeup. The wedding day I loved my makeup even more when compared to the trial. I did not think this could even be possible. I received so many compliments throughout the night and my husband was speechless when he saw me. He whispered in my ear that I was "blindingly beautiful" at the alter. To be honest, I booked with the other company because they were a bit cheaper. However, there is a reason they say you get what you pay for. I experienced that first hand here. From the materials she sent me, her website, her responsiveness, and the work she completed with me, she was worth every single penny. My pictures turned out amazing and the compliments I received that night confirmed how I felt. On a side note, when I told my photographer I was using Veronica she grew increasingly excited stating that she was one of a few artists she had worked with that stays on schedule and produces amazing work. This was another confirmation I had made a great choice. Thank you Veronica, you helped me feel like the Bride I dreamed to be on such a special day. I am forever thankful.
