Perfect wedding hair and makeup, could not have asked for better

Jess was amazing! I don't often wear makeup, but during the trial she made me feel comfortable and was willing to try lots of different things to see what I liked/didn't like. Likewise with my hair, Jess was patient trying multiple different hair styles until I found the one I loved.

On the day, Jess and her assistant Sian were really friendly, set good vibes, and kept me and my maid of honour relaxed amid the chaos. They both did a great job on our hair and make up which lasted all day, and make up for the mums. She was a part of why the day was perfect!

I highly recommend Jess, for both hair and makeup, especially for Brides to be who don't wear makeup or do up their hair often!

Jess Made Me Feel Like the Best Version of Myself

Jess is the friendliest person you could wish to be getting ready with on your wedding day — she helped bring about such a calm, positive energy to the morning. Having your makeup done on such an important day can feel overwhelming but Jess made the whole experience feel relaxed and genuinely enjoyable.

I wanted to feel like the best version of myself rather than overly made up — just a soft, natural glow-up that still felt “me” — and Jess understood that perfectly. She listened to what I wanted both at the trial and on the day and created a look that was flawless . My makeup (bridal party’s too!) felt lightweight, stayed perfect all day and night and photographed beautifully in every light.

I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any bride wanting to look and feel amazing while still feeling completely like themselves.

A true artist who will make you look and feel so beautiful

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day. From the very first consultation, Jess was so attentive and really took the time to understand exactly the look I wanted. She made me feel completely at ease, which meant so much on such an important (and slightly nerve-wracking!) day.

On the morning of the wedding, everything ran smoothly and calmly. Jess's professionalism and positive energy helped set the tone for the whole day. The makeup itself was absolutely flawless—natural, radiant, and perfectly suited to me. I felt like the best version of myself.

It lasted beautifully from morning right through to the evening celebrations, and it looked incredible in all the photos. I received so many compliments throughout the day!

I’m so grateful to have had Jess as part of my wedding and would highly recommend her to any bride-to-be. Truly talented, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to be around!

Thank you so much.

I can’t recommend Jess enough!

Oh my days! Where to start?! I had originally booked another lady to do my hair & makeup, but unfortunately she had to cancel a week before the wedding.. in steps Jess-
She was absolutely amazing! Considering we had never met, had a trial & other than a few WhatsApp messages she knew exactly what I wanted. I felt totally at ease with her straight away & she was happy to work around myself & the other bridesmaids to make it as relaxed as possible.
I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day.
For me, what could have been an absolute disaster, really wasn’t- we lucked out with Jess.

October wedding

Jess is a lovely she is really friendly and professional. When I contacted I knew exactly what I was paying there were no hidden charges and she kept in touch thorough out the process . When I went for my make up trial Jess made me feel so welcome, she listened to what I wanted made suggestions but never tried to push anything I didn't want. On my wedding day Jess arrived on time and with all the chaos of the day she made me feel at ease chatting as though we knew each other for years. I cant recommend Jess enough xxx

Perfect wedding hair and makeup

I was keen to find someone who could take care of hair and makeup for both myself and three bridesmaids and Jessica was perfect. We had a trial first that was super easy to organise and then on the actual day, Jessica and her assistant couldn’t have done any more for us. Jessica’s booking platform was easy to use and pricing was super transparent. She made all of us feel incredible, thank you so much xxx

Dream hair and makeup

Jess was absolutely fantastic from the moment I contacted her for her services. I was actually recommended her services by another hair and makeup lady who was unavailable on my wedding day and I am so grateful that I was! For my trial, I only had to show Jess a couple of photos and she knew exactly what I was looking for. The results were fantastic so I was already at ease for the big day. Jess was so lovely and easy to talk to and made me feel so calm on the wedding day; no ask was too much and I was ready in perfect time. I felt so confident and beautiful and I was showered with compliments throughout the entire day and evening. I would highly recommend Jess to any future bride!

Would recommend Jess!

Jess has been brilliant, trial was really helpful for Jess to understand look I wanted to create, on the day Jess was calming and professional, did absolutely beautiful job of my make up and hair and Jess and her assistant did beautiful job of bridesmaids too. Finish and expertise worth the money. Thank you so much! ❤️

Could not have asked for better

Jess truly made my wedding day. She was calm, relaxed, easy going and professional. Nothing was too much trouble, and she did a phenomenal job of making last min changes to what we’d trialled too. I genuinely could not have had a better support system with me, and she even went as far as to help me pee!

Both at trial and on the big day, she listened to what i wanted, and delivered.

I honestly felt so safe with Jess, and it was like having a friend helping me get ready. With 7 bridesmaids, it was no mean feat, but everyone looked amazing and loved her extra helpers too.

She’s worth every penny, and i’m incredibly grateful for everything she did and couldn’t have wished for a better gal on my team.

Bridal Beauty Perfection - Highly Recommend!

Jess and her team from start to finish were an absolute dream to work with. They handled my large bridal party with such professionalism, ensuring everything ran smoothly and on schedule.

Not only were they incredibly organized, but their talent is unmatched! My bridal hair and makeup were flawless, and every member of my party looked stunning. They truly listened to our preferences and made sure everyone felt their absolute best.

Beyond their skill, their warm and calming presence made the morning of my wedding so enjoyable. I felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands.

If you're looking for a team that is talented, professional, and a joy to be around I highly recommend them. Thank you for making my wedding day so special!

Jess and Lara were brilliant on our wedding day, myself and my bridesmaids loved them. They made everyone look beautiful including myself ( I never say that about myself) I felt beautiful on the day and it was all down to jess and her brilliant way to just know what is needed x

Perfect in every way

Jess and her team were wonderful - everyone was delighted with their hair and make up - it was just perfect. Jess was great from the word go - appointments, communication and trial all went smoothly and she was very responsive. In addition, she's really lovely and put everyone at ease. Would definitely recommend!

Incredible wedding makeup artist

Jess is an absolute fantastic makeup artist! She really listened to the style of makeup I wanted and did a spectacular job. I was a bit nervous trusting someone with my makeup on my wedding day as i wanted a natural look but I was so happy with the result.
Jess made everyone feel so relaxed and it was like having a friend part of the morning. My bridesmaids and mum were all so happy with their looks. I would recommend Jess to anyone requiring wedding makeup! She is a very talented artist!

Perfect hair and makeup!

I met Jess at an open day at our venue Crockwell Farm where she has done a lot of previous work and knew straight away that should would be the perfect person to make me look my most beautiful on my wedding day. It felt like we had already known each other for ages and we were both on the same page in terms of what I felt like I wanted. I booked in for a trial and went to her home studio a few weeks before the wedding. We had such fun trying out lots of ideas. Nothing was too much to ask. I went in with a rough idea of what I wanted but we experimented for a few hours with both my hair and makeup until we had the perfect look. My main want was to still feel like myself but at my best, and she captured that beautifully. By the time the wedding came along she felt like another friend joining the gang. I was nervous, as most brides probably are on the morning of their wedding, but she calmed me down and got me excited! She stayed with me until I walked down the aisle which was perfect because a lot of tears were shed when my dad saw me for the first time so Jess came to the rescue!
Honestly I cannot say how wonderful she was and how lucky I feel that she was a part of my day.

Wedding hair and make up

I can’t believe how lucky I was to find Jess for my wedding hair and makeup. From the first contact, Jess was responsive, warm and funny. She was patient and really listened to what I wanted. On the day she helped me to feel relaxed and comfortable. The finished product was better than I could have expected. I’ve never felt so beautiful and special before in my life. Thank you so much Jess 🩷
