Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a hair & beauty partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Amanda is hands down the best makeup artist. I hired her for my wedding at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm and she killed it. She did 11 women and each of us looked polished, beautiful and natural!! I can’t thank her enough for making my wedding beauty dreams come true! I’ve never looked so pretty and probably never will again! I wish I could bring her with me everywhere I go to do my makeup!! I highly recommend her for any event or wedding! You will not be disappointed!! She’ll make you feel like a celebrity and she has the best energy- you will have a blast getting ready!!

Absolutely obsessed with Amanda. She did my eyebrows, spray tan, and makeup for my wedding and I literally never felt prettier in my life. She also did makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law and they felt so beautiful as well. The makeup lasted the entire day and didn’t need any touchups, even with a lot of dancing. She is also hilarious and brought such good energy with her the morning of the wedding. She made me feel absolutely beautiful and I cannot thank her enough. She’s the best in the business and it truly doesn’t get any better than her. HIGHLY recommend.

I was so lucky to have Amanda do my wedding makeup & spray tan. She is a genius at color matching and truly an incredible artist. I was so happy & excited after my makeup trial that I was really able to relax on wedding day and just enjoy getting my makeup done. It was absolutely perfect! Amanda is so kind and funny. She did a great job of keeping me smiling, given the nerves and the weather, and I can’t thank her enough! In addition to me, she did makeup for several bridesmaids, my mom and mother in law. Everyone loved the makeup and I’m not surprised. I couldn’t have picked a better person to work with. Thank you Amanda!!

Amanda is amazing! She was recommended to me by my wedding planner when I was looking for recommendations for bridal makeup. I am so happy to have found her! I saw her for my brow shaping/lamination leading up to the wedding, and for a few spray tans prior to my wedding spray. I've had so many spray tans - and hers are by far the most natural looking! She does tanning, brows, and makeup with incredible attention to detail - and on top of that, is so much fun to be around. I am so excited to continue to see her for all of these things, and am already looking forward to my next excuse to get my makeup done. I felt absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day, as did my mom and bridesmaids. She was t...

Amanda is an artist. I hired her for my wedding at Cliff House and she did such a lovely job with me and my small bridal party. As background, I was worried about getting my makeup done--I very rarely wear makeup and I don't love the feel of foundation on my face. She completely understood and made me feel like the best version of myself -- it was perfect. Amanda was also super kind and helpful when we added an extra person last minute. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for a wonderful day Amanda!
