Kristi and her team are amazing. I originally booked with Kristi for my wedding day hair based on a recommendation from a friend who had used her for her wedding. Then once the str...
ess of planning our NJ wedding from out of state set in, I also booked with Kristi for wedding day coordination.
If you can book with Kristi for your hair, DO IT! At my trial Kristi gave me some recommendations for my remaining haircuts and color before the wedding day, which really made all the difference when it came to the day of. Kristi did my hair and 5 others and everyone’s hair looked amazing and held up well throughout the night. I had done an updo which didn’t start falling out until about 1am after a full night of dancing and even some crowd surfing.
The 2 months leading up to our wedding we worked with Alexis, who seriously took the weight of finalizing our details off our shoulders. She was in contact with all of our vendors and even made recommendations for last minute vendors that we wanted to look into. She made a BEAUTIFUL timeline for the day of that consisted of EVERYTHING. Alexis really made those final 2 months as stress free as possible.
On the day of our wedding we worked with Erica and Shannon who were part of the dream team that made our day perfect.
Erica having experience in wedding day beauty saved the day on multiple occasions. She was able to help some of the bridesmaids who had issues with their lashes after our makeup artist had left. And she was always ready to help me when I needed any touchups done throughout the night.
Shannon was amazing helping us out during our portraits, which happened to be outside on one of the colder December days. Carrying my flowers, fluffing my train to perfection, tying the bows on my flats multiple times as they came undone, she helped make sure pictures went as smoothly as possible.
If there were any issues on our wedding day, I didn’t hear anything about it and I’m sure I have Erica and Shannon to thank for that. We were truly got to enjoy every moment of our day.

Working with the Verve team was one of the best experiences! I found Verve as it was rather closer to my wedding venue in Sussex County. Communication with Kristi was quick and eas...
y! She responded very quickly and was very helpful in answering all of my questions! I scheduled a trial for my wedding hair and make up, and I worked with Tina (make up) and Erica (hair). I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I wanted to make sure that my look complimented my dress. After my trial, Erica and Tina asked for my feedback and were very sweet during the entire trial.
When it came to my wedding day, Erica, Tina and Cheryl were the hair and make up team for myself, my mom, sister, MIL, and my 3 bridesmaids. Kristi emailed me all the info that I needed to prepare myself and my girls for our sessions the morning of my wedding, along with the schedule. Erica, Tina and Cheryl showed up promptly at 7:15am and everyone was finished by 12:00pm. I was a little nervous as I decided to completely change the hairstyle compared to what I had from my trial, and also change some things about my make up look, but Erica and Tina absolutely blew me away! My hair and make up came out absolutely STUNNING, and same with my bridal party!! Everyone was so so so happy with their looks and it lasted all night! I am so happy I decided to book with Verve and highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding or major event in the surrounding areas!

I had an amazing experience with this hair and makeup team and cannot recommend them enough. Kristi, the owner, was incredibly thorough from the very beginning - she promptly answe...
red all of my questions and made the entire process feel easy and reassuring. On the wedding day, Kristi did my hair and was so flexible and open to pivoting from the look we had done at the trial, making sure it felt perfectly me. I was surprised at how well my (usually unmanageable) hair kept up after a night of dancing!
Diana did my makeup, and her skills are truly unmatched. She absolutely nailed the soft glam look I was going for. I felt polished, glowing, and beautiful without ever feeling overdone. It was exactly how I envisioned looking on my wedding day. It also did not smudge one bit the entire day!
My Maid of Honor enjoyed the team so much, she booked them for her own wedding later that week! If you’re looking for a team that is talented, professional, and flexible, this is it!

, bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law look absolutely stunning. Our artists were so kind, positive, and funny and kept the energy going throughout the entire time they were there helping us. Erica did my hair and Asha did my makeup and I am forever grateful for their amazing work! It was exactly what I was hoping for - with hair and makeup that stayed flawless from 9am-3am. My mom and a few bridesmaids' hair were still perfectly in place the next morning!! We also had Tina and Stephenie on makeup and Jessica and Elis on hair - making all my ladies feel comfortable and beautiful. We had an early start, and our artists were on time and efficient in getting us all ready!! I can't recommend this team enough!

My girls and I had so much fun while getting ready and everyone could not have loved their hair and makeup anymore than they did! So glad that I found Verve!

My hair turned out absolutely perfect exactly what I had hoped for! It stayed beautiful all day, from the ceremony to the last dance. I received so many compliments on how elegant and polished my hair looked. Kristi is not only an incredibly talented stylist but also such a kind, calming presence, which made the whole wedding day experience even better. If you're looking for a talented and reliable stylist, I highly recommend her!
Thank you again Kristi,

Verve is truly your one stop shop for hair and makeup for your wedding day! I’ve worked with Kristi at Verve previously, and several of my friends used Verve for their weddings as ...
well. Every single time they have been phenomenal at not just hair and makeup, but also extremely professional and prompt. On my wedding day, Erica did my hair along with my family and friends hair, while Asha was my MUA. I also asked for Asha to stay for a few hours to do touch ups, and it was so worth it! I cried a lot during my first look, and Asha was right there behind me to touch me up so I was able to look refreshed for our wedding ceremony. Both Erica and Asha nailed the look that I asked for. I did go in for a trial, but even on the day of the trial, they both were able to create the look I was going for effortlessly.
I not only recommend Verve for their talented stylists, but for their communication as well. I found it really difficult to get in contact with a lot of other hair/makeup stylists, but Kristi runs her business professionally and always responds in a timely manner. She is meticulous at planning/coordinating - which made our day seamless!

eat part of the day. Everyone’s makeup was amazing. I wanted to look like myself and I totally did but I felt so beautiful. My mom and MIL are not big makeup wearers and she did them so gorgeously that they loved having makeup on! Danielle nailed everyone’s hair. Seriously my curls were impeccable by the end of the night - even though we walked through rain to go home. Before finishing up my hair there was one curl that was bothering me and Danielle was such an angel and kept adjusting it to get it perfect and she didn’t make me feel like a freak for it bothering me (I was being a freak but I appreciate that she made me feel good about it lol). Loved them both so much! I wish I had more reasons to get my hair and makeup done!!
Also, I did a trial for both last year and made minor tweaks to my hair but was really happy with my trial as well! They crushed it day of the wedding based on their notes from our trial.

me to carefully listen to your vision and feedback to make sure you feel like the best version of yourself on such an important day. She brought my dream bridal look to life with such calm, professionalism, and care.
I had 8 bridesmaids and 2 mothers getting their hair done, and everything went off without a hitch. Kristi and her team were efficient, organized, and made the entire morning feel smooth and stress-free. When my schedule unexpectedly needed to be adjusted, Kristi didn’t hesitate — she jumped in and started my hair during my makeup session to get the day back on track. That kind of adaptability and commitment is rare and something I’m incredibly grateful for.
Her energy was exactly what I needed — warm, focused, and reassuring. Every member of her team made my bridal party look and feel beautiful. I’ve enjoyed my experience with Kristi so much that I’ll be using her as my regular hairdresser going forward.
If you’re looking for someone who blends artistry, professionalism, and genuine care — Kristi is it. I cannot recommend her enough.

I could never recommend Kristi & her team enough. From the first time I met Kristi, I felt so confident in her skills and judgement. On my trial day, Kristi and Diana (makeup) did ...
such an amazing job. It was such an awesome experience. I tried out an updo for my trial, but let Kristi know I was considering a down hairstyle for wedding day, so Kristi color matched my hair in case I decided to rent extensions through my package. Kristi and Diana were so helpful on wedding day. They listened to what my mom and bridesmaids were hoping for— looking at their inspiration photos taking the time to ask questions to make sure they got exactly what they were envisioning. Not only did all my girls get exactly what they were hoping for, their hair and makeup stayed PERFECTLY all night long. Ultimately, on wedding day I went with a down style and the extensions Kristi brought were flawless. They blended into my hair so perfectly. I also tweaked my makeup a bit from my trial because I decided I wanted more “full glam” and Diana delivered. I cannot get over how beautiful Kristi and Diana made me feel and look on my wedding day.
I could never thank them enough or recommend them enough!

came out day of, I was not happy at my makeup trial. Joia was my artist and I just wasn't loving her work, which did cause some stress leading up to the wedding. That said, she was very kind and willing to start over multiple times until I felt better about it, which I really appreciated. She listened to my critiques and had notes with her at the wedding and I was much happier day of. Erica did my hair and we changed the style slightly day of and I was really happy with how it came out. We also had Asha, Cheyane, and Diana -- the entire team was great, so timely, and very professional and my girls loved how they looked and couldn't stop complimenting their work.

Highly recommend Verve for both hair and makeup! Michelle is the BEST makeup artist I've ever worked with! She nailed my trial and wedding day makeup and it lasted all day/night ...
long (same with my bridesmaids). She is talented, efficient, and so kind! Erica did my hair and I absolutely loved it, and it also lasted all day - which is impressive as I have very straight hair! Erica was able to perfectly bring my vision to life, and she was so fun to be with. Lastly shout out to Angela for hair - all my bridesmaids raved about her and they received compliments all day!

Amazing for big groups! I had a bridal party of 11, and 14 women total to get ready in under 4 hours. Kristi and her team were highly efficient, on schedule, and did beautiful work...
. My curled half up hair stayed until the end of the day AFTER my wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Kristi's communication was unmatched. She answered emails faster than any one I have ever worked with, but more importantly, was accommodating and helpful. She also does day-of-coordinating services on the side, and as a result, understands how important it is to have everyone done when the photographer arrives. Highly recommend!

I couldn’t be happier with the makeup services from Verve Makeup for my wedding! Kristi, the owner, was fantastic from the start—she was so responsive and made me feel confident in...
her team's abilities.
A special shoutout to Diana and Asha, who did an incredible job with my makeup and the makeup of my bridal party. They are true artists! They tailored each look perfectly, ensuring everyone felt beautiful and confident.
The makeup lasted all day and night, even through all the dancing and emotions! I received countless compliments on my look, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Verve Makeup, for making me feel like a queen on my special day! Highly recommend!

perience so enjoyable and stress-free. She took the time to understand my vision and delivered beyond my wildest dreams. I have never looked or felt more beautiful!
On the big day, Kristi and her team worked their magic, and the results were absolutely incredible. They had such a positive vibe and made getting ready a blast! Everyone felt stunning, and it was amazing to see how much everyone genuinely loved their hair and makeup. They took care of every detail and ensured that we all felt our absolute best.
I can’t thank Kristi and the Verve team enough for making me feel like a true bride on my special day. If you’re looking for a talented and professional team to help you shine on your wedding day, look no further—Verve on Location is the way to go!

esmaids and flower girl was excellent. Everyone was glowing and got the exact looks they wanted while also getting i formed direction from the stylists. I had several naturally curly haired ladies in my party and Verve was able to work with all hair patterns seamlessly.
Erica did my hair and did an outstanding job at my trial and did an even better job taking my feedback and correcting it. Michelle did my makeup and helped enhance my natural features so well. Both stylists/artists are so great at what they do and I couldn’t have been in better hands. Any inspo photo you have they will emulate and make even better!
And an added bonus is that all the ladies are so fun and supportive to have with you the morning of your big day! They are a calming presence and the exact kind of people you want with you the morning of your wedding.
Definitely the easiest vendor to work with!

I highly recommend Verve! We had Kristi, Asha, Joia, and Angela for hair and make-up for about 11 people. They were all specular and so amazing!
My mom and I both went for trials ...
with Kristi and Asha. I am not very into hair and make-up things, and therefore, not confident when it came to asking what I wanted or needed. Kristi and Asha were both so unbelievably kind and helpful. They really took the time to understand my personality and helped guide me to what fit me.
One of the most impressive things about Kristi was how incredible of an artist she is and how great she is at reading people and understanding their “vibe”. The day of the wedding, I decided to go with an up-do despite doing half up/half down at the trial. As I rarely get my hair done, I had a really hard time explaining what I wanted despite looking through and showing inspo pics. I tried to explain the vibe I wanted and components of what I did/didn’t want, but if I’m being 100% honest, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted! Despite this, Kristi did my hair perfectly! She understood what I was going for (even when I didn’t) and really did an incredible job! I appreciated how she listened to my rambling thoughts and I’m so happy I trusted her incredible judgement and skills. Similarly with Asha, I trusted her judgement and I was so happy with my make-up I got teary-eyed (and then immediately tried to stop so I wouldn’t ruin my make up!!!)
The bridesmaids and my VIPs all looked and felt amazing. One of my bridesmaids asked for an up-do even though the two last wedding she was in (not by Verve), her up-dos fell out before the ceremony; she was SO happy that Verve killed it and she had a beautiful up-do all night Kristi and Angela made sure everyone’s hair stayed perfectly!!! I really appreciate how the entire Verve team was so kind and sweet with my little flower girl too.
Regarding logistics and communication, the team was very punctual and very efficient - we actually ran early!!! I enjoyed not having worry about timing since the team was a well-oiled system. Kristi was always super responsive and kind via email - she answered my rambly questions with such kindness that I truly appreciated!

get my makeup done because I am not typically a big makeup wearer but I LOVED my hair and makeup and knew I had to use them for my own wedding day.
I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup team. Tina did my makeup and I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror, the makeup was so beautiful and more importantly I still looked very much like myself. Erika was great at offering suggestions and feedback for mine, my bridesmaids, mother, mother in law, and aunts hair. We had such a fun morning getting ready with them!
I also hired Verve for content creation. This was last month of planning decision for me. Jenn did such a great job at capturing all our special moments throughout the day. We are so grateful she didn't miss any details and we have been continuing to relive our wedding day over and over for the past month and a half. We couldn't have been more pleased!

onsive, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. She’s not only professional but also genuinely friendly, which made working with her a pleasure. As a bride trying to book a million vendors, I truly appreciated that I was able to hired a 2-in-1 for hair and make up, and didn’t feel like I was sacrificing quality on either service.
After my trial, I decided to make a few changes to both my hair and makeup, and Kristi and her team were more than accommodating. They listened to my concerns and made the adjustments without hesitation, ensuring that everything was perfect for my big day.
On the day of the wedding, Erica, the makeup artist, made me feel absolutely beautiful while still looking like myself—a balance that was really important to me. Tina and Jennifer did a fantastic job as well, making sure all my bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law looked stunning. Everyone’s hair and makeup lasted all day, even through the dancing and festivities!
Thank you to the entire team at Verve for helping make my wedding day so special. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and friendly hair and makeup team!

y future mother-in-law all look and feel our most beautiful! The girls had various wants/needs, hair textures, and comfortability with makeup. Krisit and her team listened to each girl individually and helped them look and feel their best-even during a rainy and humid summer day! Krisit answered all my crazy emails rapidly and never batted an eye when I had feedback or changed my hairstyle after my trial. Krisit made our schedule and it was amazing to have her put that information together, and then also stick to it! What a huge help. Diana stayed on with me for luxury touch ups and was such a BLESSING! Not only did she help touch me up after crying during my first look and vows as well as right before I walked down the aisle so I looked my absolute best, she was just a wonderful human to be around, helping take some behind the scenes pics and fixing my dress as we navigated puddles! Look no further and book with these ladies (and pay for the luxury touch ups!) you will want it!!!!
