Alex Sent on 29/12/2025Five stars!
I used the Strand for my bridal party hair and make-up and we were all so happy with the results. Natalie listened to us and did exactly what we asked. She was very patient with me as well as I was quite indecisive about how I wanted my hair!
Natalie was friendly, professional and very hard working! I felt instantly comfortable with Natalie and knew I was in safe hands.
Thanks for helping make my day so special.
I would definitely recommend the Strand and Natalie. Very reasonably priced too! -

Bridal Review
Natalie was amazing throughout. From the trial where she really listened to what I wanted and the vision I had right through into the big day. All of my bridal party looked fantastic. Everyone commented on how natural and elegant our hair and make up looked. I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone wanting a personal yet professional service for their special occasionsThe Strand Occasions's reply:

Natalie’s service was amazing. The process from the trial at the beginning to the big day was very well organised and I felt very comfortable with the service provided. She made us look amazing, and gave me the confidence boost that I was looking for on my wedding day!The Strand Occasions's reply:

Aron C. Sent on 28/10/2025Wonderful experience, highly recommend!
Natalie was a fantastic addition to the wedding day! She did beautiful makeup and hair for me and my 4 bridesmaids
The trial was a lovely experience with Natalie taking her time to talk me through options and try different styles and options and when I wasn’t 100% sure reworked the style for a new option
On the wedding day Natalie was calm, relaxed and natural with me and my bridal party and made us all feel at ease. She managed all the timings but still made sure each one of the us felt special and looked after and got exactly what we all wanted and produced beautiful results
Overall it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend to any brides/bridesmaids or even jsut for an event
Thank you Natalie! -

I can’t thank Natalie & Hattie enough for my wedding hair and make up, I felt a million dollars and all my bridesmaids looked fabulous.
I felt at ease from the trial to the day, as someone who never has anything done, Natalie listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. She even filmed the most beautiful video of me and my Dad heading to walk down the aisle - thank you so much! Highly recommend xx -

Natalie & Hattie are amazing!
Natalie and Hattie created the perfect getting ready day for my bridesmaids and I!
Not only did they get up at the crack of dawn and travel from Biggleswade to Lincolnshire but they made us all feel comfortable and at ease.
A lot of us hadn’t had our makeup done professionally before, but Natalie and Hattie listened and understood when we asked for what we would like. We felt comfortable expressing any changes or extras we wanted and never felt under pressure or rushed.
Couldn’t recommend them enough! -

Natalie was amazing! First and foremost she is such a lovely person and she was really easy to get on with. It's clear to see that she loves her job and is very passionate about it. She listened to what I wanted and was able to give me really valuable advice. My experience at the preview was wonderful, she really took the time to make sure I was happy with everything and it really put my mind at ease. On the day she did makeup and hair for myself, my 2 bridesmaids and my mum. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! All of us wanted a different hairstyle which she was completely fine with, she was so versatile and flexible. I was absolutely thrilled with my makeup and I loved my hair! They both lasted really well considering how hot it was that day (I got married on 12.07.25)! My hair is renowned for dropping curls quickly but they lasted really well, which I was so impressed with. The morning of my wedding was very stressful, my house was full of adults, children and a dog but throughout it all Natalie was so calm and professional. I couldn't have asked for more! She started at 5.30 in the morning to make sure we were all ready in time and she even locked up for us after we had all left. The price she offered was so reasonable compared to other quotes I had been given. What she offers is such good value for money! I cannot recommend her enough!The Strand Occasions's reply:

Debbie Sent on 21/06/2025Perfect in every way
I came across Natalie on Hitched as she was close to the location I was getting married. I read the reviews and looked at her pictures and loved what I saw. I contacted Natalie, told her a little bit about myself and what I was looking for. From day one she was understanding, professional and gave good advise. I’m so glad I did. The morning of my wedding she turned up on time. Myself and my 2 bridesmaids took turns in having our hair and makeup done and it was such a relaxed atmosphere. She made us look and feel a million dollars. I had compliments all day about how beautiful and glowing I looked. I can’t thank her enough. I highly recommend Natalie, The Strand. She is incredible. Thank you so much again for being part of my wedding morning.The Strand Occasions's reply:
