What to expect when booking your wedding with me...
The best way to reach me about booking your wedding with me is by email so I can keep track of our conversation in writing. It helps me refer back to what we spoke about.
Trial
Most of my brides book a trial, but some don't. Please use your best judgment. I do HIGHLY recommend that you book a trial. To avoid any delays on your wedding day, trying to figure out a look.
When you are ready to book your trial, I will send a link where you can book your appointment. A trial form is attached to your appointment.
Information you will need to complete the trial form:
Location of where services will be provided (I only provide on-location services. That means I will travel to your location)
-You will be billed separately if the trial location is more than 30 minutes away.
Back-up trial dates
-Any trials MUST be flexible. As a full-time freelancer, I have to take any work that I am receiving, and anything on the weekend gives other brides an option to book me for their wedding.
An estimate of how many hair and/or makeup services you need for your wedding
Hair and skin type
Makeup/hair inspo
-You can upload photos or copy and paste a link to your Pinterest board.
During the trial, I will be keeping track of everything I used on you, and photos will be taken for reference.
The trial can take anywhere from 2-4 hours for both hair and makeup. Half the time if you are only booking one service. We may try a couple of different looks so you can see a comparison. Nailing your look down is important, so when your wedding day comes, we know exactly what we're doing.
Retainer
A deposit should be put down AT LEAST 6 months before your wedding.
A deposit can be made before or after your trial.
This means you decided to move forward with booking me for your wedding.
This will ensure the date you have requested will not go to anyone else.
Non-refundable;
If your wedding requires more than one artist, this is when I would hire the rest of the team.
Contract
A contract is required to move forward
When you decide to book my services for your wedding, I will send a link where you can make a deposit to reserve your wedding date. The contract is attached to your reservation. You can always edit any final details later.
