Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book my Makeup Artist?
It’s best to book your Makeup Artist as soon as you have your wedding date and venue secured.
Most brides book 12 - 18 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (May - October).
What is needed to book my date?
Fill out the inquiry form to to confirm my availability. Once that is confirmed and you are ready, I will send your contract and invoice via Honeybook. A $105.00 non-refundable retainer for weddings and $52.50 for events and a signed contract officially book your wedding or event. Your retainer is non-refundable, but goes towards your final balance. Please note, your date is not held until the contract is signed and non-refundable retainer is paid. Contracts are valid for 48 hours once they are sent. After which, the date will be released to the next inquiry.
Do you have a minimum booking requirement for weddings?
Yes, I have a minimum booking requirement of a Bride + 3 others for May - October weddings.
How far out should I book my Bridal preview and where are they held?
I recommend booking your bridal preview 2-3 months prior to your wedding or event date. If we do the preview too far in advance, your style and vision could change. I schedule bridal previews and trials Monday through Thursday between 9:00am - 2:30pm and some Sundays. They are held at my studio in Blackfalds, Alberta.
Can I book a Trial prior to securing my date?
Absolutely, but this is on a first come, first serve basis. Nothing is secured unless your contract is signed and the retainer has been paid.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept e-transfer, credit, debit and cash.
How much time should I allow for makeup on my wedding day?
Allow at least 60 - 90 minutes for the bride and 60 minutes for all others (bridesmaids, mothers, etc)
What if I want to add people/services?
Once the contract is signed, that number is not subject to change UNLESS you are able to adjust your timeline to an earlier start time. I plan the day based on that number of people, and as a solo artist, I am only able to accommodate 6-7 services if the timeline allows.
What if I need another Makeup Artist?
As a solo Makeup Artist, I can comfortably accommodate a maximum of 6 services, depending on the timeline.
For larger parties or in cases where your timeline is especially tight, securing a second Makeup Artist is often necessary. I can coordinate an assistant artist for an additional Assistant Fee of $150, plus the standard cost of services they provide. This ensures your schedule stays on track without sacrificing quality.
Can you stay for touch-ups?
Yes, touch-up services can be added to your booking for an additional fee. This is a great option if you’d like your makeup refreshed after the ceremony or before photos to ensure everything looks flawless throughout the day. Availability is limited, so please inquire in advance if you’re interested in having me stay on site.
Can we get ready in my venue's Bridal Suite?
We understand they are beautiful and make for the best photos, but venues fail to mention that you typically don't get access to the bridal suite until 9am or 10am, which makes it incredibly difficult to accommodate a large wedding party with a tight timeline.
Where do you recommend getting ready?
Airbnb or a hotel are perfect options! Ask hotels if you can use their conference rooms for a larger space.
