To all of the brides out there - do yourself a favor and add Ashley to your team. Ashley pulled off 22 services between Friday and Saturday during my wedding over Memorial Weekend 2024 and Ashley herself did my wedding makeup. First of all, my "natural" wedding makeup look was perfect. My makeup somehow looks equally good in our 3 pm first look photos as the 10 pm dance floor shots - I don't even know how that's possible but I am so happy about it! I am not someone who typically wears makeup, and it was such a relief to work with a makeup artist who listened to my feedback and completely delivered. Not only did Ashley do a great job on my makeup, but her 2 assistants were also incredibly talented. My bridesmaids were all commenting how usually the 2nd and 3rd MUA's at weddings can be a clear 2nd tier, but Ashley and her assistants all delivered the same incredible results on every single girl (and they had to do 15 of them!). Every one of my bridesmaids and family members were raving about their makeup - something I didn't even think was possible. Lastly, and most importantly, when you hire Ashley you are not only getting a MUA you are getting a wedding teammate - a ride or die! We had some chaos in our planning process and ended up searching for a new wedding planner just 5 weeks before our 230+ person wedding at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Needless to say - we were panicked! Ashley got wind of this and quickly connected us with her friend Cara from Luxe Events. Ashley then proceeded to convince Cara to cancel a family vacation and do my wedding! At one point, Ashley even consoled me by saying that if worst came to worst she would do the day-of coordination herself! On the day of the wedding, one of my Mom's friends comes into the ready room and is a little envious of everyone's hair and makeup. Ashley proceeds to offer to do her makeup as well - the 16th service for the day! - which meant so much to my Mom's friend. Then, after we've finished the ceremony and Ashley is packing up - we realize that we have a bustle crisis and no one can figure out how it works. Here comes Ashley! Up in the folds of my dress, on her hands and knees looking for bustle strings, staying a full 45 minutes later than she had hoped - but refusing to leave the room until we were successfully bustled! Her kindness and commitment to my day was amazing. From day 1, Ashley felt like part of the family and she showed up for us big time. I could not possibly recommend her more! -

My must-have vendor for my wedding day
Ashley is my hero. She was referred to me by my wedding planner (Lisa Friesen) and I also vetted her on Instagram. I loved her immediately after I reached out to her because:
1. She scheduled a call with me to make sure we were a good match and to get to know me, my bridal party and what I was looking for before we scheduled a makeup trial.
2. When I did my makeup trial with her, she knew the look I was going for but GRADUALLY worked up to it, and had me check it at every stage so I could be like: "Yes I love this, please do more of this, not dramatic enough for me yet" etc. Which was refreshing after just having done another trial with another artist in the weeks before, who basically turned my chair around to the mirror in the end and I was terrified. The gradual and natural layering really helped. She also then wrote down exactly what she had done that I loved so she'd have it in her back pocket on my wedding day.
3. I did my trial at 8am in the morning and my makeup stayed on and essentially perfect ALL DAY LONG. Into the night.
4. I generally HATE foundation b/c I think (the kind I would buy/use) looks fake and feels cakey (even though I need it b/c I'm 39 and my skin is a little uneven / no longer perfect) - but whatever Ashley used made me look perfect and felt weightless.
5. Um, I don't know - she's an absolute DOLL of a human and so cool and fun to be around? Those are precisely kind of people you want around you for 4 hours the morning of your big day.
6. When we were sadly forced to reschedule my 4.4.20 wedding because of COVID-19, she was amazingly empathetic, responsive, supportive and flexible in working with me to find a new date.
7. The biggest thing, I think, is just that I feel SO COMFORTABLE in her capable hands. I'm super picky and I almost thought about doing my makeup myself that day (not smart, I know) but after I met Ashley and she glammed me up I was like, I ACTUALLY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU ON MY WEDDING DAY. Even when we were rescheduling, I knew I couldn't settle on a date where she was unavailable b/c she is indispensable. There are lots of places to cut corners when you're planning and budgeting for a wedding, and this is just not one of them - feeling like the best version of myself and not having to fuss or stress about anything that morning is part of why I feel like I can't live without her that day.
PS I didn't think to take pics BEFORE my trial but trust me when I say that I look like Jaba the Hut when I wake up in the morning. -

Ashley is the absolute best! She did my makeup for my wedding day and was fantastic to work with. I clicked with Ashley instantly- she is extremely kind, professional, and talented. Her use of professional photographs during the trial was very helpful in defining the natural look I wanted. She did makeup for six of us on my wedding day, and we all loved our looks! Beyond that, she made us all feel so comfortable and at ease with the process. I would definitely recommend hiring Ashley for your makeup! -

Thank you!
Ashley! Where do I begin to thank you? I don't think I can truly describe how amazing you are. You totally understood my vision for how I wanted to look for my wedding and you exceeded all of my expectations.
What could have been a stressful and chaotic day, was so peaceful, relaxing and fun! My bridesmaids were so happy with the way they looked-and everyone had a great time with you!
Thank you for everything-you are SO talented and wonderful!
XOXO -

Jessica B. Sent on 10/24/2018Stress free wedding make up and the prettiest I've ever felt
There isn't enough room to share how grateful I was that Ashley traveled to Italy with me for my wedding. When it came to make up and hair, this was the easiest decision of my entire wedding planning process. It's simple, if you want the best, hire Ashley. She gets it, gets you vision and stayed by my side making sure everything was perfect during all of our photos. For destination or micro weddings, Ash was able to do my hair too, I had no idea that her talent included hair. I recommend Ashley to anyone looking for HMU no matter what the occasion but for your wedding, you want the best and she's the best. -

Ashley was the first vendor that I booked as I was positive that I wanted her! She had done my makeup for a friend's wedding where I was the MOH and I loved how it turned out. Not only is she a phenomenal makeup artist, who listens to what you want, she is also someone you want to be with you while you are getting ready for the best day of your life. She makes you feel like you are her only client by remembering minor details from emails or the makeup trial. She asks questions I wouldn't have thought of such as, what is the color palette for the bridesmaids, is it ok for them to wear a bright color, etc so that you don't have to be the bad guy at your wedding. I loved working with Ashley and would highly recommend her to my closest friends and family. -
