Carly is a must have and one of the best decisions you will make for your wedding day. Carly’s work speaks for itself on her instagram and I knew after looking through I would love to have her there on the wedding day. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of make up normally, I really wanted to feel the best version of myself on my wedding day. From my first phone call with Carly, I knew I’d made the right decision and felt completely at ease. On the trial, we worked together to create hair and make up I felt confident in. Carly even took the time to chat with my mum, who was really worried about getting her make up done on the day, as well as checking in with my sister/ maid of honour. All 3 of us came out of the trial feeling happy and confident. On the day itself, I honestly can’t thank Carly enough. She was the first person in the room bright and early and just has this energy that takes away any nerves you have. It felt like I had another close friend/ member of the wedding party there with me on the morning. As I’ve said to Carly after the wedding, I genuinely believe if we lived near each other, we’d be friends and be sat chilling and laughing together over a glass or two of wine. That’s the amazing, positive vibe of an environment Carly creates for you and your family/ friends on one of the biggest days of your life. If you’re thinking of getting your hair/ make up done for your big day, you’ve found your gal. She’s ace, pick Carly!

Katy was incredible to work with from start to finish. Her communication was fantastic, and during my wedding makeup trial she really listened to everything I wanted out of my makeup. I don't wear a lot of makeup normally, and have lots of freckles, so wanted to ensure I looked like myself on the big day and have my freckles stand out. Katy made up my face with two different types of coverage so I could assess which would work best - I so appreciated her doing this, particularly as I can be very indecisive! On the wedding morning she was an utter joy, listening to each of my bridesmaids and my mother in law, making their makeup wishes come true, before making me look the most incredible I've ever looked. She was so calm and easygoing throughout - a huge bonus for a bride whose DJ cancelled 1 hour before the ceremony! I can't thank Katy enough, so glad I found her!

Adele was amazing! As someone who knows next to nothing about make up, she made me feel at ease during the trial and helped me decide on my look for the day. The atmosphere when getting ready was fantastic, everyone was laughing and had a great time. She was flexible when I asked to make a change to the package I’d picked. I had so many compliments on my hair and makeup and I can’t thank her enough for helping me feel my best on my big day!

Victoria is not only an amazing make up artist but also a beautiful soul. She is really kind and makes you feel absolutely gorgeous. She carefully listens to what you want and makes sure that you feel comfortable. Thank you again, Victoria, it was lovely working with you.

Wendy was just amazing from start to finish, listened to what I wanted but made recommendations from her years of experience that I hadn’t even thought of. Was great on the day and worked around the chaos of a wedding morning. I have that much faith in Wendy that she has now become my go to hairdresser and would always recommend to others.

Jane exceeded expectations I had for my bridal makeup! She was warm, friendly, and professional. Whilst having my makeup done on my big day, she eased all of my anxiety immediately. I have chronic pain issues and she made sure I took breaks, stretched, and made sure I was comfortable — all of which I always feel awkward to ask for normally. I am normally wear an alternative/gothic look but I wanted something moody but still bridal for the big day and wanted to include our autumnal feel for the wedding. She went above and beyond to help create this vision and I had so many compliments all day. The makeup didn’t budge all day, despite us experiencing rain, storms, hail and strong winds. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much, Jane!

Nadezdha did such an amazing job with all of us and she was especially great with my mum, even though she was unsure since she doesn't really wear much makeup. My mum trusted her and once she was all dressed and had her hair done she was over the moon and she looked absolutely beautiful! Also, I can't thank her enough with my hair, I had lost a lot of hair even between my trial and the wedding day and it was something I was really self conscious of. She did such a lovely job with my curls and I really couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup stylist for my big day. Both my mum and sister kept saying how sweet and lovely she was and I couldn't agree more. Thank you so much for everything!

Hayley is such an exceptionally talented make up and hair artist and you truly cannot get any better; she is truly beautiful inside and out and her ability to make you feel wonderful absolutely shines through. As someone with shorter hair and a specific vision on how I wanted to look, Hayley listened and went above and beyond to give me my dream bridal look. I didn’t want to look like every other bride and Hayley delivers your individualised look based on both your own wishes and what will work well on your skin and hair to create an incredible look. On the day of my wedding, I had a bit of a crisis and Hayley was calm, compassionate and very patient which is just what I needed. I cannot recommend her enough. There are make-up artists out there who deliver a one size fits all uniform look for every bride and then there is Hayley who’s advanced skills will have you looking beautifully unique according to exactly what you want.

I cannot recommend Antonia enough. The bridal party all looked incredible and I was over the moon with my hair and make-up. I was so impressed with my trial, yet she still somehow made it even more incredible on my wedding day with a few more tweaks! She was always quick to respond and made me feel at ease. She enhances beauty in such a natural way which I loved.

Helen did the hair for the bride, mother of the bride and maid of honour at St Audries Park in Somerset. She did an absolutely amazing job and all of our beautiful hairstyles stayed in place throughout the whole day! Helen was so calm and efficient and made the ‘getting ready’ so enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to future wedding parties.
