THE BOOKING PROCESS

My booking process and next steps are smooth, simple, and totally stress-free—because wedding planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming!

01 submit your inquiry

Ready to take the next step? Fill out the contact form with as many details as you can—let’s get this makeup party started! I typically respond within 3 business days.

02 bridal glam preview & consultation

Bridal makeup previews are available for booking 4 to 8 weeks prior to your wedding day. We’ll meet at my private studio in Benicia, CA, to create your dream look using my soft glam techniques and carefully document everything to ensure a seamless, consistent result on your wedding day.

03 the month before

When it’s time to get the ball rolling—around the 30-day mark—I’ll reach out with a few questions to build a customized makeup schedule for you and your group. This will include my arrival and end time, prep details for everyone, and ensure we’re all set for the big day. Two weeks before the wedding, you’ll receive an automatic invoice to take care of final payments with ease.

04 the day of

It’s wedding day! If you’re staying in a hotel, you probably received a text from me the day before to grab your room number. Otherwise, I’ll greet you bright and early on your wedding morning with my kit, ready to glam you and your ladies up! I’ll spend about 15 minutes setting up, followed by 60 minutes with each bridesmaid and 1.5 - 2 hours with the bride. We’ll wrap up with 15 minutes of complimentary touch-ups—then you’re off to get married!

It’s your moment — let’s make it flawless.
