Frequently Asked Questions
How can I book you for my wedding or event?
To get started, simply fill out my contact form or send an email with a few details about your event, including:
Event type
Event date
Getting-ready location
Number of makeup services needed
I’ll respond with availability, pricing, and next steps.
To officially reserve your date, a signed contract and a non-refundable 50% retainer are required.
Important: If you don’t see a response from me within 1–3 business days, please check your spam or junk folder — replies occasionally land there.
When should I book?
I recommend booking as soon as your date and venue are secured, especially for peak wedding season. Dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis once the contract and retainer are received.
Is a retainer or contract required to book a bridal trial?
No. Bridal trials are considered a separate service and may be booked without a retainer or contract.
Please note: booking a trial does not reserve your wedding date. Your date is only secured once the contract is signed and the retainer has been received.
Do you travel and what are your travel fees?
Yes! I provide on-location makeup services for weddings and events.
Travel fees are based on distance from my home base and will be clearly outlined in your custom quote. Extended travel may require a custom travel rate.
Do you require a minimum number of services?
No minimum is required. I’m happy to provide bridal-only services or accommodate smaller wedding parties.
Do you offer services for large wedding parties?
Yes! I’m happy to accommodate larger wedding parties. For weddings with more than 5–6 makeup services or a tight getting-ready timeline, additional artists may be required to ensure everyone is ready on time and the day stays relaxed and stress-free.
If additional artists are needed, they will be booked and coordinated by me.
A fee of $50 per additional artist applies.
I’ll always discuss this with you in advance and include it in your custom quote so there are no surprises.
How do you determine the wedding day timeline and start time?
Wedding timelines are based on the number of makeup services booked, the ceremony time, and when everyone needs to be ready for photos.
I’ll work with you (and your planner or photographer, if applicable) to create a realistic, stress-free schedule that allows enough time for each person and avoids rushing. My goal is to ensure everyone looks and feels their best while keeping the morning calm and enjoyable.
For early ceremony times or larger wedding parties, earlier start times may be required. In some cases, this may also mean bringing on additional artists to keep everything running smoothly.
All timeline details, including start times and any additional artist needs, will be discussed in advance and reflected in your custom quote.
Is gratuity included?
Gratuity is not included. It is always appreciated but never expected.
Do you provide hairstyling?
At this time, I offer makeup services only and do not provide hairstyling.
That said, I’m happy to recommend trusted professionals I love working with:
