I was very nervous about hair and makeup for my wedding since I generally don't do anything special with my everyday look, and don't know anything about hair or makeup! However, as soon as I started communicating with Cati I felt like I'd found a good fit. She was very flexible with trying a more natural look that I would feel comfortable with, and she really helped to put me at ease. When we did the trial, we tried a few different looks and she was willing to work with me until I was totally happy with the result. I thought it would be hard to find something that worked, but she seemed to figure out what I was going for before I did, and I was sold! On the wedding day itself, she and her two assistants did an amazing job with me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. We had a big group but finished early, and she'd built in enough room in the schedule that we didn't feel rushed or stressed while getting ready. Additionally, she and her team were fun to hang out with, and really clicked with me and my friends, so it felt natural to have them there while we all got ready. Everyone in my wedding party commented on how happy they were with their looks, and with the overall experience of having Cati and her team involved in the wedding day. I couldn't have been happier with how my look turned out either, and I was really impressed with how great I still looked at the after party! In any case, I couldn't recommend Cati enough. She's very easy to work with and very skilled at what she does. I will certainly recommend her to all of my friends as well, so hopefully we'll get to work together again! :)

From my first inquiry, I knew selecting Cati for my wedding hair and make up was a great choice! She made me feel very comfortable during my trial appointment -- open to exploring as many looks as needed until we found the perfect style to compliment my dress and match my vision (which didn't take long because she's so good!). She really transformed my look -- so much so that I felt like a radiant movie star during my entire wedding celebration. My hair was perfect and my makeup has never looked better -- I still felt like myself just the most glamourous version ever. She did the make-up for two of my bridesmaids as well and they looked great. She used quality products and was very professional. She even accommodated my request to meet up after our wedding photos for a touch-up session. Thank you, Cati!
