Beautiful makeup and hair

It was great to have Carly with us on the morning of our wedding. She brought such a calming positive energy with her and made us feel at ease right away.

Carly did my hair and makeup and x 3 bridesmaids. I wanted an elevated natural look which Carly executed perfectly. Some of my bridesmaids wanted a more glam look and they all looked perfect which shows how talented and adaptable Carly’s style is.

A massive thank you to Carly for being a part of our special day and making us all feel beautiful!

Incredible woman with incredible talents!

From the moment we began planning our wedding it was my dream to have Carly as my Hair & MUA. I followed Carly online and I was saving her advice & content before we were even engaged lol. So after I sent her a message (before the venue had even technically confirmed our date might I add haha! ) I was DELIGHTED she was available to be a part in our day. Each moment from here in the whole journey completely exceeded my expectation. Carly is without a doubt the most professional & wonderful person to have in your team when wedding planning. No message ever felt ‘too much’ or question too silly- I feel she is someone who really cares about your whole experience.
The initial meeting to talk through ‘the look’, the ideas, trialling some options was just gorgeous. I felt like I was chatting with a friend, mixed with insightful conversations and SO much knowledge of hair, makeup and everything in between!
ON the wedding day, when I say let out a sigh of joy, relief and gratitude when I saw Carly that morning - just wow. She brings more than just “her kit”. You not only have the most beautiful (and so intuitive- very helpful !) woman by your side on that morning subtly guiding and grounding you, she also then makes you feel the most incredible you have ever felt, your bridesmaids feel so special and even comforts and gets on their level (on the floor with my children at one point I see) helping them. My stunning absolutely perfect makeup look stayed put the whole day, the whole night and well into the next day ( I just didn’t want to take it off!!) and my beautiful French twist styled hair up do survived a LOT of (questionable) Irish dancing and was in well into day 2 too. I felt absolutely beautiful.
This is my way of attempting, yet I don’t think I’d ever be fully able to recommend Carly highly enough! She is simply The best.
I feel a bride is extremely lucky to have her as part of their wedding morning. Carly - I am eternally grateful that it was you. What a journey! xxx

So happy with my wedding hair and make up by Carly - thank you!! Xx

Carly did both my hair and make up, and also make up for my mum, mother in law and bridal party. She tailored each make up look to suit each person and they all loved it. She did such an amazing job on my hair and make up and I absolutely loved it too. As well as doing a great job she was lovely to speak with, had great energy on the wedding morning and was so lovely 🥰 Thanks so much Xxx

The most amazing experience!

Carly is a total professional and an all round wonderful person!
I was recommended Carly from a friend of mine and she was a top supplier for my wedding and worth every penny!
I have never felt very comfortable getting my make-up done and usually completely avoid it. Carly put me completely at ease throughout the whole process. I ended up really enjoying my trial and I could not have asked for a better presence from her on my wedding day. Everyone loved her, she listened to exactly what everyone wanted and we all looked amazing!
She is prompt to reply to any questions, flexible and the service you get from her is 10/10!!
I feel very fortunate to have been one of her brides🤍

My Wedding Day

I can highly recommend Carly for your wedding day experience . She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, reliable and an absolute please to spend time with on your big day.
Nothing is too much trouble she goes above and beyond to make your Wedding Day so special. From our first point of contact, the trial and our big day everything went just perfect.
As a more mature bride I was not confident with a bridal look, but can honesty say I could not have been happier as Carly made me feel beautiful. She listened to my thoughts and brought them to life. I would not have changed a thing.
Amazing bridal hair and make up artist!

INCREDIBLE and more than just make up 💖

Carly was incredible from start to finish. She was so easy to chat with when arranging the trial and was completely clear about pricing from the beginning, which I really appreciated.

The trial itself was fantastic, I felt amazing afterwards and completely at ease throughout. Carly is so friendly and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even better.

On the day, she was an absolute hero. Not only did she make everyone in the chair feel amazing, but she also went above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly. When things got a little rushed, she stepped in to take bouquets out of water, organise everyone for my first look with my dad and bridesmaids, and generally made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time.

I couldn’t have asked for more — highly recommend!

So grateful that I booked with Carly!

Booking Carly to be the make-up artist for my wedding was absolutely the best decision! She is so talented at what she does and I've never felt as confident as I did after she worked her magic. Every member of my bridal party was thrilled with their make-up and couldn't praise Carly enough. We got so many compliments on the day and the make-up lasted perfectly until the very end of the night, despite all the dancing! On top of her professionalism, Carly is the most lovely person and really put us all at ease. She was like one of the girls and was with us until the very last second, offering to lend a hand and giving advice. I'd 100% recommend Carly again and again

Wedding hair and make up

Carly did mine and two bridesmaids wedding hair and make up in April 2026. Right from the initial enquiry Carly was so easy to chat to, super responsive with any queries and checked in before the wedding date. I had a vague idea of what I wanted but Carly helped to create a look I loved during the trial. I have no idea how but it was even better on the day! Everybody’s hair and make up stayed on all day despite it being a warm spring day and with all the dancing. Carly took the time to understand and listen to what we all liked/disliked with our usual make up to create looks to suit each of us. She was so professional during every meeting and was such a calming presence on the morning of the wedding. She even ended up helping me with my shoes and veil on the day. She also managed to fit me in for my second ceremony the very next day with only a few weeks notice! I cannot reccomend her enough!

Simply the best!

I have no words to describe Carly other than amazing!! From the first time we met at the trial to my wedding day Carly took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and she paid so much attention to the tiny details even down to the individual eyelash! Carly was a dream to have around on my wedding morning even when I was so stressed she kept the environment calm and allowed me to chill and enjoy the morning, she even rapidly did up all the buttons on my dress! Carly truly helped me to look and feel my best on my big day and I can’t thank her enough!

Amazing, you are in safe hands 🩷

Where do I even begin! From the moment I messaged Carly I knew I was in safe hands, she was professional, organised and just so lovely to chat too. She was flexible around my trial times and replied quickly to messages.
Now the makeup, as someone who doesn't have the first clue about make-up I was worried about what I would have for my big day but with Carly my worries disappeared. She worked with me to get the perfect look, she explained what she was using and how it would add to the overall look. She was so lovely and kind and honestly just the best. I felt stunning on my day and my makeup was flawless and lasted the whole day, even as I danced the night away! She had one bride and three bridesmaids to glam up the morning of and timed everything perfectly. The girls loved their makeup too and all commented how great she was.
I would 1000% recommend Carly for your wedding day, I can't thank her enough for my big day 🩷

Wedding bride

Meeting Carly was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. From the moment she arrived, her bubbly, warm, and calming personality instantly put me at ease. She is not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but she genuinely makes you feel so special, confident, and relaxed on what can be a very emotional day.

Carly was always honest with her ideas and suggestions, which I truly appreciated. Her professional guidance helped everything come together perfectly and made the whole experience completely stress-free. I trusted her 100%, and she absolutely delivered beyond expectations.

She went above and beyond for everyone on the day — making my bridesmaids feel beautiful and included, being so kind and patient with my mother-in-law, and even making my flower girl feel like a little princess. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her.

I cannot recommend Carly highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, calming, and full of positive energy, Carly is your person. She was such a beautiful part of my wedding day, and I’m so grateful to have had her there 💕✨

Carly is ace, choose Carly!

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!
