urself. Natalie and Sarah took such care in bringing my vision to life, suggesting beautiful enhancements and thoughtfully checking in so I felt radiant and completely confident. My hair and makeup felt so much like me, just elevated in the most beautiful way, and it held perfectly through photos, hugs, and dancing all night. They were punctual, organized, and such a warm, joyful presence on the wedding morning. I highly recommend the Wedded Kiss team to anyone wanting gorgeous, personalized hair and makeup!

rough my vision with me and worked with me on what I wanted. And on the day, the whole team was so efficient and lovely to work with!
The whole team helped us feel so comfortable and beautiful!! They do amazing work and were a joy to work with!
My girls and I LOVED working with Wedded Kiss! My number one goal was still to look like "me" on my wedding day, just slightly elevated, and Wedded Kiss executed this perfectly! I ...
truly felt the most beautiful I've ever felt on my wedding day, and this was largely in part of how well my hair and makeup looked, felt, and lasted throughout the day! With a bride, 8 bridesmaids, 2 juniors/flower girl, 3 groomswomen, and 1 mom to get through both services, the stylists handled it with ease! They were timely, organized, and a blast to hang out with the morning of the wedding. Some of the bridesmaids had never had professional makeup done before, but were incredibly pleased with the results! They also did great with our 4 year old flower girl who had a blast feeling like one of the big girls and getting all glammed up with us. All of us looked truly stunning and I am so grateful to the Wedded Kiss team for making that happen!
I got married in September and Wedded Kiss did a phenomenal job! The team showed up right on time and were such a pleasure to hang out with while we were getting ready. I felt li...
ke they really listened and were able to adjust to the changes I wanted from my trial to actual wedding day. Our wedding was extra humid, but everyone's hair and make-up stayed put the entire day! Really could not recommend Wedded Kiss enough!!
Nina and lovey made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! My hair was perfectly boho and dreamy, and my makeup literally make me glow. I loved it so much and was so sad to wash i...
t all off that night! everything came out better than I could have imagined. They both made everyone feel absolutely sunning!
Nina and team were fantastic! They perfectly implemented feedback from my trial to bring my bridal hair and makeup vision to life!
Nina, Natalie, and the rest of the Wedded Kiss team were incredible! They made myself and my bride squad look and feel beautiful. Not only did they offer great suggestions on how t...
o play up our natural beauty, but also our looks lasted throughout the entirety of a warm July day, which is quite an impressive feat. Their kindness, flexibility, organization, communication, and hair and make up skills were top notch. Their getting ready playlist is also AMAZING. I would highly recommend them to any and everyone!
Nina, Natalie and Sarah were a dream to work with for our wedding day! Our bridesmaids and moms loved their hair and makeup, and even more importantly, WE loved our hair and makeup...
! They were able to make small adjustments after our trial hair and makeup to get things PERFECT on our wedding day! They even powered through a broken AC unit at the hotel suite we were getting ready in. Our wedding guests would’ve had no clue we all got ready in a 78° suite that morning!!
Where to even begin... what a dream team. Sarah and Natalie were AMAZING. From day one they made me feel comfortable in my own skin. They led with body positivity, kindness, and jo...
y. All of us who got hair and makeup felt beautiful and taken care of. I am not someone who usually wears makeup and my hair is always in a bun or braid so I was nervous that getting made up would take me out of my body on my wedding day. I wanted to look like myself. Other folks were more comfortable with hair and makeup. Natalie and Sarah catered to each of us -- making us all feel gorgeous and authentic. I can't thank these ladies enough.
We truly had the best team for our wedding! Sarah, Natalie & Nina were so efficient, professional, and fun, not to mention incredibly talented. Our wedding party all felt so beau...
tiful and confident after being glammed up by the Wedded Kiss team. They were so great at staying on top of our timeline (actually ahead of it!) even with 9 bridemaids & a bride. I cant recommend them enough!
Nina and her team are THE BEST! I’m a recent bride (4/1/23) and I am so happy we hired Wedded Kiss for my wedding. Nina, Sarah, and Marie brought both the fun and calming energy we...
needed that day. Not only is the Wedded Kiss team a delight to be around, but they made us look and feel FABULOUS! My bridesmaids and I all have had professional hair & makeup done for previous weddings we’ve been a part of, and all of them commented that Wedded Kiss absolutely did the best job. They truly made us look our best! In the past when I’ve had my hair & makeup done for weddings, I always have felt like I looked kind of crazy or not myself... However, the amazingly talented Wedded Kiss team somehow made us look beautiful, glam AND natural, in person and in the photos! And our makeup lasted allll day! They definitely worked some magic! Even leading up to the day, Nina was always responsive, helpful, and communicative, and they put together a hair & makeup timeline so we could plan our wedding day timeline accordingly. I highly recommend hiring Wedded Kiss to help you look and feel fabulous for your wedding, your next special event, or even for a photoshoot. You will be so happy you did :)
If Wedded Kiss is available on your wedding day (good luck with that), 100% BOOK THEM ASAP. Nina, Brent, and Sarah were our wedding team and everyone looked and felt amazing. They ...
are versatile in where they set up (we used a hotel suite), and do an absolutely incredible job making people look like themselves just hotter! Seriously am not a very big makeup / fancy person, but felt like the best version of myself on my wedding day. Even my mom, who barely wears any make up on a normal basis loved her look. I love that they can handle different hair textures, skin tones, etc. Makeup and hair lasted all night too!!
Nina and her team were so lovely to work with! They are receptive to emails, coordinate a getting ready timeline (and are flexible with last minute changes!) Most important to us, ...
is that WeddedKiss is an inclusive company supportive of all types of love. We wanted to hire vendors on our special day that practice what they preach, have a diverse client base and staff and are accepting of all love. Nina and Sarah were so fun to work with for my trial and then again on my wedding day. They made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt in my life (as you should on your wedding day!) My girls also loved their hair and makeup too (so much so one of them already hired WeddedKiss for her wedding next year!) As an added plus, they bring great tunes to get ready to :)
We used Wedded Kiss for our wedding and they were fantastic. The team works with different skin tones and hair types and it was just an overall fantastic experience! Can't recommen...
d highly enough.
Sarah and Lovey from Wedded Kiss did hair and makeup for myself, my 4 bridesmaids, and my mom. We were all really happy with how our hair and makeup came out. They did a good job o...
f making everyone look naturally beautiful and glowy. Additionally, Lovey and Sarah were very friendly, easy going, and a joy to work with. They made the overall getting ready process the morning of the wedding very low stress. The owner of wedded kiss, Nina, is very quick to respond to questions and provided clear details and timeline for getting ready the morning of the wedding.
I had heard great word of mouth reviews about Wedded Kiss from other vendors we selected and felt confident booking with that team. The makeup by Lovely was 100% worth the cost - s...
he is extremely talented, kind and made conversation with each member of my bridal party that received her skill. My makeup looked matte and perfect for the entire ceremony and reception despite me dancing and sweating! If you have a choice, book her for your makeup! The hairstylist we were assigned I did not feel as happy or satisfied with. For my bridal hair, it turned out beautiful and stayed put through photos, ceremony and reception. The only aspect I wasn’t as crazy about was the cost for hair that didn’t seem to hold up as well for my bridesmaids. Possibly another hairstylist that didn’t work as fast/made you feel like she was rushing to get out of there would have been better. But overall the communication and employees we worked with were professional and punctual.
Absolutely LOVED working with Lillian and Lovey on my big day! I told them exactly how I wanted to look and they did just that. They were a blast to be around and brought smiles to...
all of our faces with their jokes and their finished products!
Nina called me within an hour of outreach. I was a bride in a pinch and she saved the day. I was blown away by the talent of her team- Krista, Natalie, and Kat. After being in over...
5+ weddings this was the most beautiful hair and makeup I’ve ever seen or had myself. The ladies were so genuine and fun! I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without them. If you’re reading this BOOK NOW you won’t regret it.
Nina and team were great to work with for our wedding! The team was very friendly and everyone did a fantastic job on my bridesmaids and myself hair and makeup. The hair and makeup...
stayed intact for the full day/evening. They were very responsive throughout the whole process, I highly recommended going with Wedded Kiss for your hair and make up on your wedding day.
Nicole and Lilian made sure to help me feel like myself on the wedding day, and all of the bridesmaids looked beautiful as well!
Nina and Brent were absolutely fantastic! They were both so sweet and helpful. They were attentive to what me and my bridesmaids wanted and helped to make us all look gorgeous! I ...
was a little nervous about the makeup (I don't normally wear a lot!) but Nina helped me feel so comfortable. She helped make me look and feel beautiful and myself. I am truly so thankful to her and her team.
I am so happy I chose Wedded Kiss to do hair and makeup for my wedding! Wedded Kiss was able to get through 8 people on schedule and in less then 3 hours! I loved my hair and makeu...
p. Clair, my hairstylist was even able to do an updo that I was able to change to a half up/ half down later in the night. I don't wear a lot of makeup, but Natalie, gave me a beautiful simple look that I loved! The full team was so nice and easy to work with!
My go to hair & makeup in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area! Their work is impeccable. As a wedding photographer, I see how makeup & hair lasts from the time it is put on till th...
e exit, and their clients are still looking amazing after hours on the dance floor.
Not only is their service top-notch, but they are also efficient, and stay ahead of schedule.
The owner Nina is, to be honest, one of the best people. She has crafted a business with priorities of body positivity, inclusiveness, and beauty for everybody. She is passionate about creating a welcoming environment for every client. Her whole team embodies their values & are incredible at their job. They bring the best vibes to the getting ready portion of the day, and even have some of the best playlists around town.
You can't go wrong with having Wedded Kiss a part of your wedding day!
I have had the absolute pleasure of getting glammed up by the Wedded Kiss crew AND getting to work alongside them as a vendor and they are top notch on all accounts.
Your HMU te...
am sets the tone for the entire wedding day and we cannot help but smile when we know Nina's crew will be on site, because we know the bridal party suites will be full of great music, laughter, and lots of confident kings and queens.
From a vendor perspective, they ALWAYS stay on time (if not early), communicate with our planning team, and provide hair and makeup looks that last the bridal party the entire day. We have hired them for several of our headshot days because our team loves working alongside and getting glammed up by this awesome team so much!! Would 100% recommend!!
WOW! I feel so fortunate that I had Wedded Kiss on our big day! Nina was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. The team took care of HMU for myself, 7 ...
bridesmaids, and MOB. Not only did they do an incredible job but they also finished ahead of schedule.
I decided to change my hair style very last minute (less than one week); however, Nina was up to the challenge and DELIVERED! Nina will also bring the tunes and is such a fun person to have on your wedding day! I can't say enough great things about Wedded Kiss!
The wedded kiss team is amazing! I am in love with my wedding hair and makeup. Lovey and Lillian gave me that natural, beautiful look that I wanted. My mother and bridesmaids look...
ed gorgeous and it was a stress free experience on my wedding day with the added bonus of great conversation and great music! Nina was responsive to changes in the schedule and my preferences after my trial. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and I owe a big part of that to wedded kiss!
I absolutely loved working with Wedded Kiss. Nina and her team are so fun and such a joy to work with. Nina listened to everything I told her about how I envisioned my wedding day ...
makeup, and brought it to life! I felt so natural and pretty on my wedding day. Sarah did my hair for the big day and I couldn’t have been happier! The whole team was flexible and positive the entire day and brought such a good energy to the bridal suite. Nina is also very punctual and stuck exactly you the timeline! We never had to feel rushed or nervous. I loved that! I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone!
Nina and her team were very skilled and fun to be around on my wedding day. I loved that we had a bridal trial to work out any potential kinks before the big day (even though there...
were none!) They made everyone look beautiful, while still looking like themselves. They listened to what you want, and are willing to adjust anything that you may not like. I wish I could have Nina and her team get me ready for every big event!!

. Highly recommend!
The Wedded Kiss team is AMAZING!! It was important to me to hire wedding vendors with values that align with our own, that would bring good vibes on our special day. Nina & team fa...
r exceeded all of my hopes & expectations. I originally found Wedded Kiss through a preferred vendors list our venue sent us, and after looking through their website/Instagram I was convinced they’d be a good fit. I love that they are inclusive and promote body positivity!
I live out of state, but was able to schedule an in-person hair & make-up trial with Nina & Sarah in June 2019. As someone who doesn’t usually do a lot with hair or makeup, it was nice having Nina & Sarah to talk through my ideal look. I was indecisive and not even sure if I wanted my hair up or down - they were so patient with me and came up with a solution where I could wear my hair up, but then simply remove some strategically placed pins if I wanted to transition to wearing it half down at any point in the night. I left my trial feeling like we nailed it and that it was one less thing to stress about leading up to the day.
Our planned June 2020 wedding had to be postponed twice due to COVID, but Nina was so understanding both times and made it super easy for me to move our date. Unfortunately her and Sarah were booked for our rescheduled date, but she let me know that others on her team were available. I felt so confident about Nina and Wedded Kiss that I knew no matter who was available, we’d be in great hands. My mom, 3 bridesmaids, flower girl and I ended up all having our hair done by Lillian, and make-up done by Kyle. Despite not having done a trial with either of them before the day, they both knocked it out of the park! My hair was the romantic up-do I now dreamed of (which I did not feel the need to take down at any point), and my make-up was the perfect amount of glam without making me feel like I didn’t look like myself. I felt THE MOST BEAUTIFUL I have ever felt and would highly recommend Wedded Kiss to anyone else looking to feel the same way on their wedding day!!
Wedded Kiss was absolutely, hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! Nina, Sarah and Brent were phenomenal and made everyone feel so comfortable and beautifu...
l. They were efficient, fun and played the perfect jams to keep the mood upbeat. As the bride I felt so safe and calm while getting my hair and makeup done - it was a really wonderful experience. They also glammed me up for my engagement session and my trial and gave me the exact looks I requested. I felt absolutely stunning at every step of the way! I highly recommend Wedded Kiss for all your important event hair and makeup needs, and I will definitely be using them for any and all other special events I have in the future!
Nina & Team were incredible! I booked them for hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. The team was amazing at listening to what people wanted and...
enhancing their natural beauty! They were fun, helpful, and so professional. Before wedding day, they worked well with my coordinator to come up with a hair & makeup schedule for everyone, and shared it with everyone so I didn't have to worry about a thing.
I recommend Wedded Kiss to everyone looking for a professional beauty team!
When my wedding planner suggested we hire Wedded Kiss for HMU, I checked them out on instagram. I was immediately sold by their commitment to inclusivity, body positivity and makin...
g everyone’s experience fun. Nina, Sarah and Kyle treated my bridesmaids, mom, mother in law and myself with the utmost care from the very beginning. They listened to each person’s preference and made them look and feel their very best on our big day. They were efficient which allowed us additional photo time. They maintained an inviting, relaxed atmosphere the morning-of that set the tone for the whole day. Nina and her team book fast (for good reason) so make sure this is one of the first vendors to whom you reach out!!
Nina and the Wedded Kiss team are rockstars and were an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day! Claire and Lovey made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom feel like the most spec...
ial and beautiful versions of ourselves. They were professional, fun, punctual, and helped us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the morning. My hair rarely holds a style for long, but both my hair and makeup still looked fresh and wedding-ready more than 12 hours after styling! I have never felt more glamorous in my life! Whether you have a specific hairstyle in mind or no idea what you’re looking for, this team is the one for you. They can truly do it all, and will exceed every expectation to make you look like the best version of you. There wasn’t a single moment when I felt anything less than happy and calm knowing we would love the outcome of them working their magic. I highly recommend Wedded Kiss for all your special event beauty needs - you won’t be disappointed!
Nina and her crew are amazing! I got married last Friday, and Nina, Sarah, and Lovey did the hair and makeup for myself, my 4 bridesmaids, and the two moms. Everyone looked incredi...
ble! I love that the team made us feel confident and beautiful without feeling like our hair and makeup needed to be over the top. A very lovely, natural look! We had so much fun hanging out with this team as we were getting ready that morning. Nina was super responsive to emails throughout all of the rescheduling (COVID Bride here), and I couldn't have imagined a better team for hair and make up. I got a MILLION complements throughout the day! Thank you so much for making our day so special!
Booked Wedded Kiss on a recommendation from a friend and so glad I did! My bridesmaids, mother and MIL so enjoyed working with Kyle, Lovey, Lillian and Kat. Everyone looked beautif...

Nina and Sarah were amazing and I am SO happy I trusted them with dazzling me up on my wedding day. I have never felt so beautiful in my life and the look lasted all night (and I ...
hit the dance floor hard!!) They glammed up my bridesmaids (5 of them), my mom and me - all who really never get hair / makeup done - and made us feel incredibly beautiful, while still feeling like our natural selves. It was amazing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Booking Wedded Kiss for my engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding day was such a great decision! I had the pleasure of working with Nina, Kyle, and Lillian for my engagem...
ent and wedding hair & makeup. In addition to being incredibly talented professionals, they are wonderful and kind people. On my wedding day, Kyle and Lillian did an absolutely fantastic job glamming up my bridesmaids and mom. We all loved spending time with them while getting ready, joking around and marveling at all the gorgeous curls in my bridal party :) We also finished ahead of schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would choose Wedded Kiss again in a heartbeat because they really enhance your natural beauty and will ensure that you look and feel like yourself!
My girls and I had the best time getting ready together for my wedding 3/21/21. Nina is an absolute blast to work with. She brought the party jams and vibes. Nina and her team had ...
us feeling so so beautiful. Extra big shoutout to Nina who recurled and sprayed my moms hair after it got all wind blown when she went to pick us up lunch!!
Due to the pandemic and having to find another hair and makeup vendor, I was in a unique position where I did a trial run with my original vendor and then finally with Wedded Kiss....
And I am shocked at how much faster, more relaxing, and better my hair and makeup looked with Wedded Kiss.
Nina was extremely professional but also hilarious and just a great time as I was trying to relax in her chair! There were moments during the morning of my wedding day where before I could even complete an anxious thought, she offered a calming word and advice because she is so in tuned with the experience of the bride. You can tell she's extremely experienced and knowledgeable in what she does... and as a bride, what more could you ask for? And lastly, what was personally really important to me, Nina was able to find the right shades for my Asian skin color and olive skin tone, and was able to bring my hair vision for my Asian hair to life!
Highly recommended Wedded Kiss!
When our wedding planner recommended Nina to us and from what I had heard about the Wedded Kiss team, I was excited to learn that Nina was available for our date! Their instagram d...
isplayed a diverse style and ability to draw out the natural beauty in every one of their clients and I was sold. Additionally, with my larger bridal party size, she told me that instead of having us wake up early, she would just bring along an extra team member, and we didn’t start until 10:30a. My bridesmaids were ecstastic with their final looks and to see how beautiful they felt was priceless.
Due to Covid, I was forced to re-select a hair and make-up vendor for my bridal party about a month before my wedding. With my amazing planners’ help (Amanda Blair by Design) I cho...
se Wedded Kiss. From the start, Nina was a phenomenal communicator. She was responsive, clear, and immediately brought a sense of joy to our conversations which was so appreciated! At my bridal trial, I felt she immediately understood and executed my vision perfectly... my look was natural with a neutral color palate, but still perfectly bridal. On my wedding day, Nina and Lillian were a dream team! They were prompt, efficient, and made each one of my bridesmaids feel beautiful. The Wedded Kiss team added so much joy and beauty to my day, and I can’t recommend them enough!
Nina and Sarah were fantastic! Nina was super accommodating given the context of COVID and safety precautions, and agreed to come out to my venue for only two hair and makeup appli...
cations. Sarah, hair stylist, captured perfectly what I wanted with only a few pictures to go off of and she gave my sister a beautiful twisted half up/half down look; she is beyond talented! Nina is also a magician at her work. I normally do not wear much makeup and communicated that to Nina, and she made me look SO beautiful without making me feel out of my makeup comfort zone. I am so beyond happy I got to work with both of these talented women, and would recommend them HIGHLY to anyone who is considering hiring them. Bonus** Nina also brings the JAMS to listen to while getting ready, and is so fun to talk to. Love LOVED her and Sarah.
Nina, Lovey, and Ashley did a wonderful job with hair and makeup for my wedding party (bridesmaids plus my mom and my now-MIL) and me. My wedding party was diverse, and everyone en...
ded up with a hair and makeup look that was perfect for them and reflected their unique style. We had a blast getting ready since the stylists were so warm and friendly. I was so glad to find artists who made everyone in my wedding party feel comfortable and beautiful. My own hair and makeup looked stunning and held up through a long day of photos and dancing. Highly recommend this team for any wedding party!
Side note—not sure why this vendor displays as working in NYC, as they’re based on Raleigh (my wedding was in nearby Durham)
Nina was so fun to work with - she responded immediately to my online query (I live abroad) and was able to coordinate and work with me primarily via email. I had the chance to do...
a trial with her on a visit home so that we could discuss the wedding day look in more detail, and we also went through various hair options. I was nervous about the prospect of getting my makeup done, as not every makeup artist has experience working with different skin tones - but Nina made me feel natural and "like me" on the big day. She also did hair and makeup for the bridesmaids and my mother and mother-in-law. She made all of us feel so at ease on what could have been a stressful morning - and I loved singing along to 80s tunes with her! She also hand-delivered a note that my now-husband had left with her for me to read pre-makeup - a memory I'll cherish forever. I would definitely recommend her services - all of us loved our looks that day.
