"Choosing the right makeup artist for your wedding is such an important choice–for more reasons than you think. And this is coming from someone who works in the event industry! There’s the obvious reason: You want to be confident that you are going to look and feel the way you want to on your wedding day. Jenna and her team knocked this out of the park for us. We had two brides, eight bridesmaids, and two MOBs, split into two separate rooms. Jenna did the makeup for my wife and I, and there were two other makeup artists who did our bridesmaids. My makeup was exactly what I envisioned, and exceeded my expectations. My wife, who doesn’t wear much makeup, wanted to ensure her makeup felt natural. From our initial trial through the wedding, Jenna took such great care of her and made sure her makeup was the perfect balance of natural but enhancing. And here comes the plug for our LGBTQ+ fam: you will be totally comfortable working with Jenna and her team! The not-so-obvious reasons: You are going to spend a significant portion of your day with the beauty team. In fact, they are likely the first vendor you will interact with on your wedding day. So in addition to finding someone who has the talent, you want to find someone you vibe with. You’re going to feel a mix of things on your wedding day, and if you work with Jenna, she and her team will be there to support you. Talent and vibe are important, but so is organization and planning. Wedding days are unpredictable and you want to work with vendors who have contingency plans for all of the possibilities. Jenna built our getting ready schedule so carefully, which ensured we had plenty of time for everyone’s services and never felt rushed. In fact, my room was ready about an hour early, and we had so much sitting around talking and reminiscing. Those memories (and photos) are priceless. All of this to say, don’t learn the hard way that you get what you pay for. There are many people who can do your makeup, but ensure you hire a professional like Jenna who can do your makeup, support you on your big day, and ensure that contingencies are in place in case anything comes up. Book your big day with Jenna before she books up! You won’t regret it!!"
