I cannot recommend Brett and her team of talented artists enough! I had known of Brett and her work for years prior to my wedding, so when my husband and I started discussing dates, I immediately reached out to Brett to make sure she was available. Brett is more than just a hair and makeup vendor - I booked the "triple threat" which included photography as well (also wonderful), but she also helped me outline a wedding day timeline and connected me with other great vendors. She was very responsive to emails, and she always met any deadlines she gave me (e.g. turnaround time on photos). In the months leading up to the wedding, Brett took our engagement photos and met with me for a bridal trial run. I tend to refer to myself as "hair and makeup challenged" so having Brett's eye for shape, movement and color was a huge relief. I was able to describe the look I had in mind and she worked her magic. I knew I was in good hands with Brett, and I never worried for a moment that I would look anything less than my best for my special day. Conveniently, because Brett also did our photography, she was at the wedding and was able to keep an eye on my hair and makeup and do any necessary touch ups throughout the day (which were necessary because it rained on our outdoor picture session, but only minimally because the airbrushing worked so well!). I wanted my wedding day to be special for my family and bridesmaids too, so I hired the entire Brett Dorrian Artistry team to do hair and makeup for everyone in the wedding - 14 ladies, 13 men, and myself. The team came prepared, dealt with a frustrating hotel hiccup very professionally, kept to the schedule perfectly, and even provided music to set the mood for the day. They were receptive to my bridesmaids' requests (even the pickiest ones) and everyone loved being pampered for the day. While this was one of the top two items on my budget, it was completely worth every penny! When you hire Brett and her team, you are not just getting amazing hair and makeup - you are getting an outstanding experience. Thank you for helping make my wedding day fantastic and unforgettable! read more

One of the best/easiest decisions I made was choosing Brett Dorrian and her team to do hair/makeup for our autumn wedding. Brett exceeded my expectations in every possible way. From the very first email exchange she wowed me with her promptness, professionalism, organization, flexibility, and kindness. I have always been very picky about my own hair and makeup so it was something I was quite nervous about. From the moment I stepped into Brett's studio space for my trial run, I was completely put at ease. Brett was so welcoming, easy to talk to, and open to feedback (whether it be positive or negative). She so clearly didn't take anything too personally and was only concerned about getting my look absolutely perfect for our wedding day. Throughout my 9 months of communicating with Brett via email, she not only responded to, but tracked/remembered/documented everything I sent her that I liked and didn't like as well as details about the day. Little did I know in booking my hair/makeup for our wedding, I was also investing in a mini-wedding planner! :) Brett clearly laid out a detailed agenda of services for the day of for our large wedding party. One month before the wedding, we learned of a venue/schedule-related change, Brett was so understanding, helpful, and accommodating, even though it was highly inconvenient for her team, she made it work for us by reworking a new schedule multiple times, which meant the world to me. Our wedding day had a late start, but Brett and her team, though rushed, never appeared flustered or annoyed. Just like at my trial run, Brett put us all at ease. Our entire wedding party looked stunning. I hold Brett and her team in the highest regard, though she does countless weddings/other important events each year, she is so responsive, sweet, and accommodating, she makes you feel as though your's is the only event she has! Thanks to Brett + Brett Dorrian Artistry Studios for the truly amazing experience! read more

Brett was absolutely amazing to work with. From the moment I first got in touch with her via email, she was very receptive to my needs, and was quick to respond to all of my questions. Meeting Brett for the first time for my wedding makeup and hair trial was like catching up with an old friend! Brett immediately put me at ease, with the 3 different looks I had planned for the day. Her fun and friendly manner made her easy to talk to. During the trial Brett perfectly executed what I was looking for the first time. She went slow and asked a lot of questions along the way to make sure I was happy with it and see if there was anything I wanted to change. Brett was great at keeping in touch throughout the months between the trial and my wedding. I worry a lot about timing and details, and she took care of all of that beforehand so I didn't have to. On the day of, she came and set up, and even brought music to set the tone. Brett is fabulous! She is so personable, charming and flexible. I had to add a few people to get their makeup done closer to the wedding, and she had no problem scheduling it in. The day of she even did a little something for the flowergirl, which was so sweet! She did such a fantastic job. Everyone looked truly stunning!! I am so happy with the outcome because I felt beautiful and looked so in the pictures as well! So, Brett I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me look and feel as fabulous as possible! I would definitely recommend Brett for your very special day. Brett you are fantastic! I would love to work with Brett again, and I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Brett! read more

Brett and her team were fabulous! We were married in the small town of Bayfield, WI which was challenging to find hair stylists for our large wedding party. Luckily our wedding planner with Rosetree Events recommended Brett Dorian and we couldn't have been happier. Brett and her team showed up on time the morning of our wedding fully equipped with all the tools needed for hair and make up. We all got ready at a B&B, they played music and it was an amazingly relaxing morning which we all appreciated. All I had to do was wake up and head downstairs and Brett took care of the rest! There were 9 of us who had full hair and make up that day and everything went according to schedule and we had ample time to get our dresses on and socialize until it was time for pictures. Hiring Brett and her team is an investment but I promise it's worth the money! My hair and make up were perfect until I finally made it home around 2am. She even gives you a touch up kit for lips and face to use during the ceremony and reception. Thank you Brett and your wonderful team for beautifying me and my ladies! read more

I had Brett with me from getting ready in the morning through the cocktail hour - and it was the best decision I made throughout the entire wedding process! From our trial run to getting ready in the hotel room on the morning of our wedding, Brett listened, took direction, and made my vision a reality. She was both personable and professional. We were married August 1st, a hot day (but not even the hottest during the week) and to have Brett there every step of the day to ensure I was staying fresh (blotting sweat, dabbing powder, even providing water bottles) was more beneficial than I ever could have guessed prior to the wedding day. I was able to walk into our reception after Brett did a final touch up during cocktail hour feeling just as great as I felt that morning when she first did my hair and makeup. I have not seen one picture where I feel like I look sweaty or frumpy (guest or pro) throughout the entire day, and that is a feat in itself. Hiring Brett (especially to stay on through the cocktail hour) will be the best decision you'll make! read more

I cannot even begin to say how wonderful Brett and her team are! Brett did my hair and make-up for my wedding day and I am so glad I chose her. She made me feel like the absolute best version of myself. From the day I contacted her she made me feel at ease and I knew I was in good hands. Brett is so professional and incredible at what she does. On the day of my wedding, her and her team arrived and set up and then went to work making me, my mom, my bridesmaids, my junior bridesmaids, and a special family friend look absolutely gorgeous! Brett and her team took the time to talk to each girl and get to know their style. Every single girl had a look of her own and everyone was so happy! Aside from marring my groom, hiring Brett to do my hair and make-up was the best decision I made for my wedding. She was a great vendor to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look absolutely beautiful on their wedding day read more

Brett is so incredibly talented and made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. (And at the rehearsal dinner.) I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup and she really made me feel like the best, most enhanced version of myself. Brett's talent is only matched by her kindness and friendly approach. I felt so comfortable around her that it made me have no nerves about how I would look on the big day. I knew I was in the best hands possible. My entire bridal party could not stop gushing about how talented and wonderful her entire team was to work with. I highly recommend using Brett on your wedding day! read more

Very professional, and also delightfully personal and friendly! I hired Brett to do make up and hair for engagement and family photos this spring, and she did an amazing job. Everyone had fun with the process, and we all looked fabulous for the photos. The price was very reasonable for the quality of work, and in general. I wanted to hire her again for my wedding, but the date we chose didn't allow us to book her far enough in advance. She is usually booked pretty far in advance. I am however working with someone who works with her, and I'm VERY pleased with the quality and care of service I'm receiving. read more

Brett Dorrian and her studio assistant, Sabrina, did an absolutely amazing job on my bridal parties hair and make-up. They were delightful to work with, and professional all at the same time. I would HIGHLY recommend Brett Dorrian Artistry Studios for anyone in the process of planning a wedding or a special event. The team really listened to what I wanted, and implemented hair and makeup better than anyone could except. Brett taught me several 'tricks and tips' about hair and makeup. She had a calming presence which was helpful on the 'BIG DAY'. I loved my time working with Brett!! read more
