Simply the best experience I ever had with an make up artist, company and team! Aradia was so kind, flexible and understandable, worked with me even on a short notice. I loved that she actually picked up the phone and called me the same day (which is sooo rare these days) I expressed interest on her site. But I loved that she actually seemed to CARE about my special wedding day, paid attention to what I wanted, my needs and sent me the best artist or the one I needed, Aimee!! Thank you so much for making it so unique!! I looked precious, my make up lasted all day/night even on a rainy beach day wedding LOL!! I looked so stunning at midnight I still didn't want to wash my face, LOL!! Love them and can't wait to use them again or have any excuse to look natural yet flawless!!

After getting discouraged by the salon/spa at my wedding venue, I decided to contact an outside vendor two weeks prior to my wedding. Aradia was the first and only vendor I contacted based upon online reviews. As luck would have it she was available for my Friday wedding. She put me at ease the first moment we spoke. She was very responsive in answering my phone calls and emails, outlined all proposed services and prices up front and left me with no suprises. Her associate Kei did a great job on my hair as well as the hair of my entire bridal party. I would definitely recommend Aradia and Kei without question.

I was won over by Aradia during my first phone call with her. She was incrediblye sweet, great warm personality and took her time to understand to get to know me and get a feel for what I was looking for. During my engagement, I was shopping around for other make-up artists and found her pricing to be on-par with other professional make-up artists but what trully won me over was her warm personality, professionalism and ultimately her work is amazing!
I first met Aradia and Kie during my trial run (which I also took the opportunity to do my engagement photo shoot) and WOW!!!! the make-up and hair was incredible.... I felt beautiful and the pictures looked amazing. During the time leading up to my wedding, Aradia would keep in touch by sending me useful beauty tip reminders and was always very responsive via email or phone. 6 months later we met again for my wedding were she did the make-up and Kie did the hair for my 3 bridesmaids, myself and both my mom and my mother in law. The team was on-time, incredibly attentive and fun! My mother in-law was very apprehensive to get her make-up done but Aradia was able to calm her down and gave her the exact look she wanted.... of course, my mother in law was beaming of joy and looked beautiful. All the bridesmaids and my mom were incredibly happy and we all looked amazing. Having the right chemistry with the make-up/hair team is incredibly important and I highly recommend Aradia to future brides.

Aradia and hair stylist Kei did my hair and makeup for my engagement session and wedding day. Initially, I was worried that the look was "too much" but she reassured me that it was necessary for the phots. And she was right. My engagement photos were the most beautiful I've ever taken and I'll treasure them forever. On wedding day, Kei and Aradia worked hard to make my "old hollwood glamour" vision come to life. They also made my mother, sisters, and neice look natural and amazing. My wedding photos are lovely and I looked like the bride that I wanted to be. I should add that it was a treat to have hair and makeup professionals come to my house and to help me prepare in comfort. It was truly a pleasure to work with this team.

Aradia and Kei are the best when it comes to hair and make-up. They are the sweetest ladies to work with, great professionalism, on time, and super flexible. I could not have made a better choice! Words can’t explain how amazing my mother, sister (maid of honor) and one of my bridesmaids looked after hair and make-up was ready. My husband could not stop telling me how amazing I looked during the wedding ceremony and the rest of the night. These ladies are amazing artist and I am so happy that they were able to be there for me on my special day! Thank you so much ladies for making me look gorgeous everyone told me how amazing my hair and make- up looked. Not only was it all amazing but it lasted the whole night. I would definitely recommend them to any bride that wants to look gorgeous with flawless make-up the whole night. Once again thank you so much! I will definitely recommend you to all of my cousins and friends that will be getting married soon and my sister can’t wait until she is ready to get married too.

Aradia is AMAZING to work with!!!! She is so accommodating and so very talented. I cant thank her enough. She was always available and always responded to emails and calls rather quickly. I had some issues with my hair stylist and she had many recommendations and helped me find a great stylist last minute. She also sends out bridal tips frequently via email with tips on how to get ready for the big day. Right before my wedding day she sent out such a great to do list that there is no way I could have forgotten a thing. On my wedding day there were so many people coming in and out of the bridal suite and she was so flexible and worked around all the chaos with out it bothering her one bit! I got compliments on my make up all night and she made my skin look flawless. I couldn't thank Aradia enough.... I highly recommend her services.

After my wedding, there are only a few individuals that I would recommend someone using one. Aradia and Kei are one of them. I would recommend them a million times again. They are positively AMAZING!!!!!! From the first time I spoke with Aradia, I knew that she was special. Her quick response to my phone call, the detailed questions she asked and her professionalism was something I had not experienced often while planning my wedding. My trial run went fabulously-she and Kei were punctual, professional, pleasant and extremely talented. I have two friends that are engaged and I have emphatically encouraged them to use Aradia and Kei. The day of your wedding can be stressful and these two are an absolute pleasure to have as part of your day. They worked on 9 people in my wedding and they had multiple personalities to contend with. Aradia and Kei handled every situation gracefully and, most importantly, made everyone look absolutely beautiful. I love these two and am so happy they were part of my wedding experience. I feel so fortunate to have worked with them. They get an A+++ in my book.

Aradia and Kei were FANTASTIC! from the day of the makeup and hair trial in October to the actual wedding day service was spectacular. I was able to convey what I wanted and they created a unique hair style and makeup pallette to suit my theme and taste! Everything went smoothly, they were quick and eager to respond to any questions. I work in Entertainment and have worked with various Makeup Artists throughout the years and I Strongly recommend Aradia and her team! You will not regret it! They are true Artists!

As someone who typically shies away from wearing make-up and styling my hair, I was a little worried searching for someone who could help me look nice for my wedding without looking overdone. I'm so glad I found Aradia and Kei. They're both extremely talented and professional ladies. I don't think I've ever felt so pretty in my whole life!
They listened to some thoughts I had for bridal hair and make-up, but also gave their own creative ideas of what might look good for my wedding. They also did some last minute schedule rearranging when my photographer wanted to move the photography session to an earlier time slot, which was greatly appreciated. Most importantly, they both responded to my inquiries in a timely manner, which many other hair and make-up vendors didn't do when I was contacting various businesses for availability.
Aradia and Kei went above and beyond my expectations as professionals, but they were also great people to talk to and overall wonderful people. I cannot recommend them enough!

I cannot thank Aradia and Kei enough for making me feel more gorgeous than ever on my wedding day! Not only is their work is professional and exquisite, but I had fun the entire "getting ready" time. They both have such amazing personalities and a wonderful energy about them that made me feel comfortable on such a special day. While I felt glamorous as a bride, I was so happy that they were able to capture what I recognized in the mirror as "me" and not someone simply covered in makeup. Due to my very busy work schedule and the fact that this was a destination wedding, I had to put all of my trust in these two amazing artists hours before walking down the aisle- all without the comfort and reassurance of a prewedding trial. They were kind enough to quickly get a sense of what I envisioned and their work was better than I could ever imagine! I did not want or need to change or add a thing! I was blessed and lucky to have met such talented people like them.

wow I could not be any happier with Aradia and Kei who did my hair and makeup for my wedding. These ladies are true artists and I let them do their own thing I just gave them an idea and they made me feel absolutely gorgeous! If you want to feel like a queen on your BIG day I would say you should go with them :)

i cant say thank you enough to both you and kei. The compliments i received that night were endless, and it was all because of you two! my hair and make up came out flawless, as did my entire party (which included 4 bridesmaids, mother of the groom and mother of the bride). i really believe that i couldnt have found a better hair and make up team if i tried, always professional, always on time, always willing to pick up calls or answer emails at any time. thank you both from the bottom of my heart, you both made my day that much more special!definately reccommend bridalmakeovers by aradia to all future brides!!!
hope to see you guys for another event soon!
love,

Aradia and Kei made me and my bridesmaids absolutely beautiful. Everything went as smooth as possible. We had great contact long before the wedding day and since I had a destination wedding in another country than I live in this was perfect. I can't recommend both Aradia and Kei enough - they are the best! Also, Timea - who assisted, was absolutely wonderful!

The best choice I made for myself was to call Aradia! My makeup for my wedding was soooooooooo beautiful!!! All night my husband wouldnt stop commenting on how beautiful I looked! After Aradia finished doing my makeup and I looked in the mirror I wanted to cry! I felt so beautiful!! I can honestly say I am more than 100% satisfied, she is responsive, very professional, and a sweetheart!! I have honestly never felt as beautiful as I did last night. Thank you so much!! I love you girl! thank you!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Aradia is. My catering manager recommended her as well as a few others. Though they were all equal in price, one didn't even offer to come to me, and the other lady snapped at me when I questioned why the trial was so expensive. If you talk to Aradia for ten seconds, you will fall in love with what a kind person she is. She knows makeup so well and it is so important to be comfortable around the person who is spending the morning of your wedding day with you. I can't even imagine being around another person that would make me feel scared to talk or something. Yes, she is expensive, but the makeup is airbrushed and stays perfect literally the whole day. This is your big day and besides your dress, makeup will really make or break how you look! So make it the best you will EVER look (I can say this in all honesty, I've never looked better). Thank you Aradia, you were such a delight to work with!

Aradia and Kei, simply put, were nothing short of amazing! I was a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding. These ladies made me feel at ease and less stressed, which you know is an accomplishment on the actual wedding day. My hair and makeup were the most gorgeous I've ever seen them. When my Wedding day finally comes, I plan to use these beautiful women. Thank you so much ladies!!

I have never had my makeup professionally done before but I was not nervous at all with Aradia. She is warm and welcoming and attentive to my concerns. I knew I was in good hands since she did wedding day makeup for 2 of my cousins. I arrived with high expectations and she certainly exceeded them! Aradia's quality of work is outstanding and I wish I could give her a 6! I am so confident for my special day that I am in the best hands!

I can’t thank enough Aradia and Kei for their beautiful work on my beach wedding. I sent them pictures of how I wanted my makeup and hair to look but I did not imagine I was going to look even prettier. They are true artists. They did my mom’s makeup and hair as well and I’ve never seen her looking more beautiful. It was a very hot day, but our makeup and hair stayed perfect all night long. If you´re still thinking if you should spend money on professional hair and makeup on your wedding, I must tell that Bridal Makeovers´ work is worth every penny and it will be something you´ll treasure forever in your pictures.
