I absolutely loved working with Vanessa Rose Makeup for my wedding and I'm SO glad I found her. I first met Vanessa when I went to get the hair and makeup trial done and I felt so at ease and comfortable because she is so nice and down to earth. She and the woman doing my hair both really listened to me about my vision for hair and makeup on the wedding day and after seeing the trial results I didn't even have any suggested changes, because they had so perfectly captured the look I was going for. On the wedding day, they were both so nice to me and all of the bridesmaids and even to the 9 year old flower girl getting her hair done. They arrived on time and got things going right away and they made the process fun because they are so nice so the conversation was flowing the whole time. Each of the bridesmaids ended up looking amazing and everyone was so happy with their final look. They also were able to get everyone done on time, allowing us to stick to the timeline, which was great. I've seen a few preview photos of the wedding day and I am SO happy with the hair and makeup look and super grateful to Vanessa Rose Makeup for making it happen. read more

Vanessa and Michelle did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding!! They did something different for each of my bridesmaids, mother and mother in law, and for me to give each the look we wanted. Very professional and responsive. Also experienced, Vanessa brought her own lighting. Hair and make up looked great the whole night! Would definitely recommend. read more

See all

Vanessa and her team are MAGICIANS. Extremely professional, friendly, and personable. From the trial I had, I knew Vanessa paid attention to detail, followed exactly what I requested, and made my vision come to life. On the wedding day - she did that AND some. I cannot thank Vanessa and her team for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt! Demi was also phenomenal, her and Vanessa made my bridesmaids look stunning. Michelle, who did our hair, was INCREDIBLE. She went through 9 women, including me, and was ahead of schedule. Michelle is quick and detailed, just overall a phenomenal hair stylist! All of my girls looked gorgeous! I cannot thank Vanessa and her team enough for making my wedding day even better by bring out more of our beauty! read more

Vanessa and her team of hair and makeup artists are THE BEST. They did such a fabulous job making our hair perfect, skin look flawless and our eyes pop. They worked hard until everything felt perfect for me, each of my 8 bridesmaids and my mom and mom-in-law. They were also so calm and fun. Absolutely recommend (and I'm so picky)!!! Thank you Vanessa! read more

I need to start out by sharing that I am a VERY, very particular person. I am a designer and I have very specific visions without much wiggle room in my expectations. As no surprise, this approach to life strongly rolled over into my wedding planning. Vanessa Rose's team by far exceeded any expectation and vision I had, for not only my own hair and makeup, but for that of 5 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and our officiant. To consistently be able to deliver stunning looks on 9 very different women; women with different hair length/textures/colors, and different skin tones, of different ages, etc; is nothing less than a momentous feat! And they nailed it. With. Every. Single. Woman. Every woman in my wedding party told me they felt beautiful, and I could see it on their faces (literally!); which is all you ever want to hear and know as a bride. I met Vanessa through a referral and once I had my trial with her and her team, I didn't turn back. In addition to being communicative and easy to work with/accommodating, they brought so much positivity and energy into the "getting ready" portion of the day. It was just FUN to be around them and they felt like a perfect addition to the party. I was so sad to hug them goodbye after my hair and make-up was complete, because I just wanted to keep working with them! I would strongly recommend Vanessa Rose as a bride and for your entire bridal party. I witnessed first hand how talented they are. You will not regret working with them as your hair and makeup vendor! I hope I get to have the opportunity to work with them in the future for another occasion! read more

I hired Vanessa to do the makeup for me and my three bridesmaids for my May wedding. She and Heather (her hair stylist partner) did phenomenal work on all of the girls. I've had pretty much everyone who has looked at our photos tell me that I looked like a porcelain doll. I looked like a fancier version of myself, which is all I wanted and all that I could have asked for. Everyone looked amazing all night. Highly recommended! read more

I hired Vanessa to do my makeup for my wedding day after she did my makeup for a friends wedding. She is extremely professional, friendly, easily reached and very talented. She was so accommodating to me and my large bridal party- she did 9 girls and everyone turned out beautifully. I would recommend her to anyone. I felt confident hiring her for such an important day and was very happy with the results :) read more

I don't know where to even begin on how amazing Vanessa is! Her skills are incredible and my wedding make up was absolutely flawless!! Vanessa was so kind to come to my parents house at 5:30AM, yes AM (we had a very early wedding) to do my bridal make up & family/friends' make up. My airbrush make up lasted that entire day and even though all of Sunday through our family gatherings post wedding!! With some care, I wore my lashes for almost a week after as well! My bridesmaids were so impressed and happy with their makeup, all looking very natural and beautiful, no cake/fake looking. She was fun to work with, so kind and sweet. I will most definitely be recommending her to future friends and family members! Thank you so much Vanessa!!! read more

We got married in August and Demi was our makeup artist. She was INCREDIBLE. I wear mascara and eyeliner and aside from that, know nothing about makeup. I went to my trial and told her exactly what I wanted, natural and playing up my eyes since that's what I'm used to. It looked amazing. She also turned me on to my new favorite lipstick (and lipstick in general). The day of the wedding, my makeup turned out even better than the trial. My skin was flawless and everything stayed put all night long through the dancing and sweating and hugs, etc... If I were to do everything over I would 100% book Vanessa Rose Makeup and Demi again! read more

Vanessa was absolutely amazing to work with. She is friendly, open to feedback, and flexible. My wedding makeup was exactly as I envisioned and it lasted the whole day (while being an INCREDIBLY hot, august day). Vanessa's energy was so positive and fun- it made the getting ready process that much more relaxing and enjoyable, I highly recommend her to anyone!! read more

My experience with Vanessa and her team was amazing! The trial was great, they understood exactly what I wanted and made it happen. Vanessa was even super nice when I had car trouble and had to reschedule! The day-of was so much fun. My 8 bridesmaids and I had our hair and makeup done. We had a great time listening to music and getting to know the girls while we got made up. The hair and makeup held up so well! I definitely suggest the airbrush, it's flawless. I also recommend getting the lashes. A lot of my girls were skeptical but Vanessa uses individual lashes instead of strips. They were very lightweight and looked natural. They look great in the photos! Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend them to any of my friends!! read more

I decided I wanted to have someone come to me for my wedding make up at the total last minute. Found a bunch of artists on the knot and of course all of them were booked, including Vanessa but she found a way to still help me. The company was very easy to work with and did an awesome job on my girls and I. I told her what I wanted and she went above and beyond my expectations. I recommend her every time I get the chance. Fairly priced which is just a bonus! read more

I had a great experience with Vanessa Rose Makeup. I was planning my wedding from out of state, and she was able to accommodate my trial on a weekend. She took notes from both my makeup and my hair trial with her associate Heather (different days/times), and made big improvements between then and the wedding. I was more nervous about the changes needed for my hair, since we didn't really nail down my "look" at the hair trial, but Heather really stepped up and learned some new techniques for me. The makeup stayed well, but the hair fell both on me and on my bridesmaids, who were styled with half up-half down large curls. It was really chilly and humid on the wedding day and we went outside for photos for a couple of hours between hair and ceremony, which may account for some of this, but I feel like it should have stayed nicer for a little longer. Thank goodness we had a friend on hand who brought her heatproof glove and a professional grade curling iron to do touch-ups before the ceremony. Overall, I would still recommend Vanessa Rose Makeup for professionalism, value and makeup style, with some reservations about the stay-put of hairstyles. read more

Vanessa did my and my mom's makeup for my wedding we both loved our make-up and received tons of compliments. She does amazing work- including airbrush and fake eyelashes. I got my make-up done at noon and it lasted until midnight & my fake eyelashes lasted for days!! I brought her a picture for my trial of make-up that I liked and she did a perfect job of using that plus my comments to make me look amazing! All the pictures I have seen so far make my skin look flawless (which it is not), and never cakey or too done up! She perfected my mom's look too which is much more colorful and dramatic than my own. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for being a fun person to be with on my wedding day and making me look and feel beautiful!! read more

I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a wedding makeup artist! She was extremely easy to work with, always quick to respond to questions and easy to get along with in general. I was concerned that my trial eye makeup was a bit too heavy and she had suggestions for toning it down and was open to my ideas as well. My wedding day look ended up being exactly what I wanted- I still looked like myself but it still comes through beautifully in the photos! My mom was initially concerned that having professional makeup done would be too heavy for her but we were both really happy with how it turned out. She slept in it and still looked great the next day too. read more

I hired Vanessa for my November 4 wedding. She was incredibly responsive and fun to work with. It was nice that I was able to go to her home for the makeup trial (her little pup is so cute!) and the girl that she had do my hair- Bethany- was amazing as well. They took pictures during the trial to use as a reference for the day of and made sure to follow up before my "big day" to double check if I had any changes. She even sent me a few suggestions of things of specific items to buy (I had a specific "look" in mind) that would make my hair stay better that I'm glad I took her up on!! She knows what she's doing and really paid attention to what I had in mind! I absolutely loved working with her and my bridesmaids and I all looked absolutely beautiful. We started around 8am and I was impressed with how "on schedule" we stayed- plus the airbrush makeup with the individual eyelashes stayed on great for everyone until well after midnight! One of my bridesmaids kept the false lashes on for days after because she loved them so much- hah! I wish I had something else to hire her again for and would recommend her to anyone getting married or in need of professional makeup! read more
