Ellie was just amazing and accommodating.
Ellie was just amazing and so accommodating. Was more than happy to start early and move locations on the day. She did an amazing job and my hair style lasted the whole day! Make up was beautiful, made me look natural but glam at the same time!
She was such a help with other aspects of getting ready as well and just so nice to have around on the morning of the wedding!
Can’t thank her enough!!

Ellie made me feel like a real life princesses
Ellie made me feel like a real life princess on my wedding day. She took exactly what I envisioned and brought it to life. I was in love with my hair and make up.
She made us all feel so comfortable and our make up still looked perfect after a day of tears, laughter and a night of dancing! I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough!

Ellie was fantastic
Ellie was fantastic, gave us plenty of time for getting ready (which made me so relaxed) did exactly what we had asked for and even when I changed my mind and added an awkward head piece it wasn’t an issue at all! Would definitely recommend xx

Where do I even start?
Hi Ellie, where do I even start?! Thank you so so much for such an amazing experience. I can’t believe we were so lucky to have found such a lovely make up artist and hairdresser for our wedding. You surpassed my expectations a million percent (not that I ever doubted it) but I felt so pretty and comfortable from start to finish in getting ready. Anyone else looking for a wedding make up artist and hairdresser will be so lucky if you are available on their day. Thank you again. Michelle & Warren xx

Ellie made me feel the most beautiful
Ellie made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life on my wedding day. My hair and makeup trial was great as we played with different makeup looks which meant on the day I was confident that I would feel good. Ellie is really down to earth and was great to have her there on the morning of my wedding day doing my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids! Thank you so much! x

What about your business are you most proud of?
I am proud of what I have created and how far I have come. I haven't had any help and have had the ambition and drive to make this business a success. Im proud of not giving up!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't leave it too late to book your wedding suppliers. A lot of suppliers get booked up 2 years in advance!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Once a couple have been in contact with me, I send over my prices/or a quote of the services they require. If you're happy with the note and want to book, I take a small deposit to secure your wedding date. We then decide when would be suitable to have a trial (if desired) which I usually advise to have at least 4-6 months prior to the wedding. Another small deposit is due to secure this date also.
On the trial day I am there to make sure that we get the desired look you are wanting. I will not leave until you are 100% happy and satisfied with the trial. I will also take photos on the trial day as reference for the day itself.
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing my clients feel the most confident, beautiful and happy on one of the most important days of their lives. To be able to be apart of that day fills me with so much happiness and joy!
What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?
When choosing your Hair & Makeup styles, make su you're choosing what you love and like rather than what anyone else likes. Go for a look or style that is very you and that you know you'll feel amazing with walking down the aisle.
How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
Your Wedding day should be stress free and as memorable as possible for all the right reasons, and this is where I will help. I am not only responsible for ensuring you look your absolute best but also that schedules are maintained and you are as relaxed as possible.
I've been known for giving an extra hand with lacing/buttoning up dresses, helping the photographer, putting on shoes and pieces of jewellery, anything I can do to help I will to make your day as calm and enjoyable as possible.
