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.

Magen did my make up for my wedding. She legit made me feel like a movie star and made me look beautiful. She is super friendly, very knowledgeable about all her products, and amazing at what she does. She made myself and my bridesmaids super comfortable. She fit right in with my friends, family, and my pup Piper. 10/10 would recommend her!

Magen did an absolutely incredible job! She was so kind and calm for our wedding day! Both my wife and I don’t wear a lot of makeup and she did any amazing job giving us a natural look that helped us still feel like our selves 🤍 I also have a very hard time with things close to my eyes and she was so kind and patient with me during that process! 10/10 recommend!

I had such a great experience! Magen is incredibly knowledgeable and really takes the time to understand what you’re looking for. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, she created a completely custom look that enhanced my features and felt true to me. I left feeling so pretty and confident, which says everything. Her attention to detail and professionalism are truly top-notch. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality makeup experience!

Magen did the makeup for my wedding and did an AMAZING job! I have never felt more confident and beautiful than I did that day, and all my bridesmaids looked stunning. In the future if I ever need my makeup done for anything I will be using her. I will also be recommending her to all of my friends.
