BOOKING

To book, we do have a minimum booking of 5 people (including yourself). If you don't have 3 bridemaids who want makeup, but would really like use us for your wedding you can try asking a good friend, cousin, mom or aunt! It doesn't matter to us who it is and everyone loves professional makeup for a wedding!

Try to book as soon as possible, especially for a wedding on a Saturday taking place in the spring, summer or fall months, as these tend to be the busiest months for weddings. If you think about it, there are only 4 weekends in each month so it's easy to get booked quickly! 
  • The first step is to fill out the contact form to see if we're free on your wedding day.
  • The second step is usually to book a trial, and then if all goes well pay the deposit which holds your date. If you are pretty positive you want to move forward with us for your wedding but can't get in for a trial quickly, then I suggest paying the deposit immediately as your date is open untill the deposit is paid. Lately, Im having more and more brides just pay a deposit immediately to secure their date, before booking their trials. (see below)

DOUBLE INQUIRES
Often we will have someone inquire about a date that is open and then with in a few days we will have another inquiry for that same date. If that happens we always go by the first come first serve rule. We will give the first girl the option to pay her non-refundable deposit to hold her date and then more forward with her trial. If that person is not ready to make that commitment then we offer it to the the 2nd inquiry. Most brides just pay a deposit immediately to secure their date if its open, before booking their trial.

TRIALS/SERVICES
For trials, you come to us at our studio in Norristown, PA and for the wedding we go to you! Trials are $100 and I would prepare 90 minutes to be with us. That amount of time is not always needed but the trial is something we don't want to rush! Occasionally lead artists can find time on a Sunday or evening but all Kristyn's appointments are Mon-Thur 9-4! We also suggest making a day out of your trial, maybe go for a dress fitting or your hair appointment after. You are welcome to bring someone!

TRAVEL FEE/ARTIST FEE
Weddings that are more than an hour away from Norristown, PA are charged a .55 per mile service charge per artist. || Travel fee to NYC is a flat rate of $200 per artist || For weddings over 2 hours we require a room the night before to make sure we are close to the wedding in the morning!

If you have 8 or more people for make-up services then you automatically have a 2nd artist at no extra cost! If you have less then 8 people (usually 6/7) and we need another artist because of timing there is a $100 fee. You can also choose to add an artist so that you can wake up later or have an extra relaxed getting ready process. Just let us know and we will check to see if someone is available!

BOOKING CONFIRMATION
Your date is confirmed and taken off the market only after you pay the first payment and sign your contract.
Please note** It is not our responsibility to follow up with you about paying to secure your date. Assume that if you have not made a payment with a signed contract that your date is open to the public and may of been booked. 

PRODUCTS
If you have any allergies/sensitivities you are worried about please feel free to bring your own products. We are happy to use them!

Before working as a freelance artist I worked for 6 years at Henri Bendel in NYC making custom makeup per client. The company I worked for was called GIELLA custom blend cosmetics and I specialized in creating custom colors for each individual, which I now offer directly to my clients. A fun bonus with custom is you have the option of mixing a lip color for your wedding that you can use for touch-ups and have as a keep-sake. I absolutely loved that job and during my years there, we had weekly training sessions to learn about all the other high-end products in the store. I use my favorite products from many different makeup lines which include, GIELLA, Tarte, Make-up Forever, Glossier, MAC, Urban Decay, Anastasia, Kevyn Aucoin, Kiehls, It Cosmetics, NYX, etc. I have a mix of everything and use what works!
