Bridal FAQ

Booking your bridal makeup artist is a big decision — and it often comes with a lot of questions! My goal is to make this part of your planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help guide you through the booking process.

How do I book you as my makeup artist?

To inquire, head to the “Contact/Inquire” section of my website and fill out the form with as much detail as possible. Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll send you my pricing, along with a contract and instructions for submitting a non-refundable deposit to secure your date.

Please note: Your wedding date is not officially reserved until the deposit is received. Bridal trials are optional, and can be scheduled after booking — they are a separate, additional cost.

How far in advance should I book my makeup artist?

Wedding vendors book up fast — often a year in advance! I recommend booking your makeup artist *at least 6 to 12 months* before your wedding to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons.

Will you travel to my location?

Absolutely! I provide on-location services. Your custom quote will include any applicable travel fees and if valet or parking is required at your location, those costs will also be the client’s responsibility.

Can I book a trial first and decide later?

Due to high demand and limited availability, I’m unable to hold your wedding date without a signed contract and deposit. Trials are not required, but I do encourage them once your date is secured.

How long does each makeup application take?

I typically allow 45 minutes to 1 hour per person. For larger parties or limited timelines, I may bring one or more additional artists (at no extra cost beyond their travel fees) to ensure everything runs smoothly. Early mornings are common!

Can you accommodate large bridal parties?

Yes! I have a team of experienced artists who can assist on your big day. There’s no additional fee for the extra artist(s), aside from their travel costs. I do require a minimum of four services to book a wedding day.

Where’s the best place for us to get ready?

Space matters! A spacious, well-lit room with long tables, chairs, and outlets is ideal for hair and makeup. We do not travel light, so we need space! Avoid using coffee tables, beds, or tight areas. A bridal suite at your venue or a hotel conference room is often the best option — just confirm it’s available early enough to match our schedule, as some venues restrict access until later in the day.

What time should everyone be ready by?

Your photographer will usually determine the “ready by” time based on your photo schedule. I’ll build a custom makeup timeline and work backward from that. As a general rule, bridesmaids should be finished at least 30 minutes before you get into your dress. Expect the entire makeup process to take about 3–5 hours, depending on your party size.

When should I schedule my bridal trial?

I recommend scheduling your trial 3 to 6 months before your wedding. Trials are held Monday–Thursday only, as weekends are reserved for weddings. I can travel to you for your trial (location dependent), or you can come to me in Haddon Heights, NJ!

Do you offer hair services as well?

I specialize in makeup only, but I work closely with some amazing hairstylists and would be happy to recommend them! Check out the “Vendor Recs” section of my website for referrals.

Do you offer airbrush makeup?

I do not offer airbrush makeup. In my professional experience, it doesn’t suit every skin type and offers less flexibility than traditional products. I use high-performance, long-wear products that I personally select based on your skin’s unique needs — trust me, your makeup will last all day and night!
