You want a once in a lifetime beauty experience the day of your wedding, you love our work and are ready to inquire, so what are the next steps? First, send a completed contact form via this website. Please answer the questions on the form to the best of your ability. 

  Once we receive your inquiry, Jenna will check availability and determine how many beauty specialists are required for the date and give you an answer within 48 hours.  If Jenna and/or beauty specialists are available for your date, Jenna will schedule a phone chat with you or a Zoom call so we can ‘meet’ and speak directly about your wedding details. Prior to the call, you will be sent pricing and packaging to review. 

  After the phone chat or Zoom call, if we both decide to move forward, you will be sent the official contract to sign and then Jenna will countersign and process the 50% reservation deposit to officially book your date.

Next, Jenna will work with you directly to schedule your private in studio preview 2-3 months before your wedding date. If you are a destination Bride, we can work around when you will be visiting. The carefully designed preview prep guides are then sent, and we start working together to make sure your wedding day beauty service schedule runs smoothly. At this point, we are your point of contact for all things beauty related on your special day! Congratulations on securing an elite team of beauty specialists that will bring a bespoke experience to your wedding day hairstyling and makeup application services!

Please note: Due to demand and number of inquiries daily, to maintain fairness and efficiency, MBJ & Co has a systematic approach to booking wedding dates, as follows: Once a date is requested and the necessary arrangements are made and a signed contract and reservation deposit are received, the date is considered officially reserved. At that point, Jenna and the team and are committed to providing services exclusively for your wedding on that particular date. Once a date is booked with a signed contract and 50% reservation deposit, it is secured for the client who has contracted. I do not email everyone who inquired about a particular date before accepting contracts, if the date is available, it will be booked by couples that are serious with moving forward. Having a contract in your possession does not give seniority over another couple.

Please note clients are most successful in securing our services 7-11 months in advance. To confirm availability please send a contact form.   Jenna and her team of Elite beauty specialists are actively booking 2024.  

OUR STYLE

Makeup with Jenna: Jennas makeup aesthetic is polished and timeless. In her own words ” Brides come to me and my elite team of beauty specialists because they want to look like themselves but ‘better’. They don’t want to be unrecognizable to their fiancé when they are walking down the aisle instead the opt to look like the best version of THEMSELVES.

TESTIMONIALS

Jenna is not only a true professional who is great at her craft, but she also has one of the warmest personalities! Her hair partner, Stephanie, was also amazing and really listened to what we wanted and executed it perfectly. We chose to do without a wedding party for our intimate ceremony but chatting with these amazing women while getting hair & makeup done made me feel like I was sitting in a room full of girlfriends. The makeup look was flawless and lasted the entire night! I wish I had this team for glam at all events I have to attend. I couldn't recommend Makeup by Jenna enough!

- Jileen

Jenna, Stephanie and the rest of the team were a dream to work with. They immediately put me at ease during our trial, carefully taking notes on what I liked and what I wanted changed for the big day and they delivered! I felt so beautiful and confident on the day of the wedding, and lost count of how many people told me I looked like a princess. Jenna was also extremely patient as I added people to the getting-ready schedule. I loved that she scheduled each person so that everything ran smoothly that morning. I highly recommend her to other brides!

- Jenna Z

Jenna and Tamara were FANTASTIC! First, they were so professional and kind to me as the bride, the bridesmaids, and my mom and mother-in-law. Jenna even consulted my mother-in-law in Spanish to put her at ease and make sure she got what she wanted. Second, they were able to work with several skin tones and hair textures (among us were white, Latina, and Black women) to make us all look like our best selves - we were all glamorous but we still looked like ourselves, which was so important to us! Third, all of our makeup was locked in. There was rain, there were tears, there was lots of sweat from dancing, that makeup did not move a millimeter. And to top it all off, they finished all of us more than half an hour ahead of schedule, which left plenty of time for touch ups and gave us more flexibility in the rest of our day. There is a reason my other vendors whooped when they heard we had hired her! Thank you Jenna for the incredible service!

-Emily

WOW! I cannot say enough about Jenna, her artistry, and professionalism. I had tried a few makeup trials before meeting Jenna and was beginning to feel discouraged. For someone who doesn’t wear too much makeup, I just felt like prior trials did not make me feel like myself. Jenna listened to the look I had in mind, but more importantly took the time to go through the details of exactly what I wanted. She nailed the trial and made me feel like a goddess!! On the wedding day, my makeup was flawless, I couldn’t have received more compliments on my makeup throughout the day! She executed exactly what I had asked for, and more. She is reliable, on time, easy to work with, not to mention she is such a sweetheart! I cannot recommend her more!!
