"I met Katy and completely fell in love with her personality and glamour style of a flawless look"
Katy completed my bridal hair & make up for our wedding on 25th October 2025 and she was AMAZING! I met Katy at a wedding fair and completely fell in love with her personality and glamour style of making a flawless look. After booking in, unsure of the size of the bridal party, I was given a portal which organised and tracked everything. We arranged an at home get together with Katy & and assistant for my hair and make up trials, my MotB hair and make up trial, 1 bridesmaid hair trial and 3 bridesmaids make up trials and made a night of it, we had so much fun! I made different changes to my agreed style after the trial (bought my own hair weft due to my own thinning hair), adding on two flower girl dos and also changing the timings of the day multiple times and the start time and Katy was able to reassure me and communicate well before the big day, guiding me on products and giving me great advice. The day before our MotG and DofG who were having their own hair and make up done by someone else had theirs cancelled and Katy went above and beyond to help find us a replacement for them, something she didn't need to do but did because she wanted to help. My hair and make up lasted the full 12hr+! Honestly outstanding service and what a really lovely person, thank you so so much!

"Katy was like a number one fan when I was getting ready. She made me feel amazing and beautiful."
I got married on October 19th this year and I am soooo glad I chose Katy as my makeup artist and hairdresser!! She did Hollywood waves and a glamorous makeup look for me, as well as makeup for my mum and sister, and hair up for 4 bridesmaids (she also brought along an assistant who was equally as professional).
I had never had my makeup professionally done before, so I had no idea what to expect going into the trial. During the trials, Katy was really lovely, chatty and professional. She listened to what I wanted, adapted it as we went along to suit the style of the wedding and what I wanted, and was very patient with me when I was making decisions and changing my mind about things. We tried different looks with the hair to suit the dress and we found the perfect option! Katy is passionate about her work and has perfected the looks she creates. She considers everything about the wedding, the bride and the overall look they are going for. She is very understanding and professional, whilst also friendly and kind.
Katy made me feel beautiful! My hair and makeup was incredible. It was the perfect balance of glamour, whilst I still looked like myself. The makeup lasted all day long and so did my hair!! I couldn’t believe it because my hair is quite fine and never usually lasts that long. Plus my hair was even still in the waves the next morning at breakfast! The makeup didn’t feel heavy on my face at all. I couldn’t feel the false eyelashes at all either. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup, I just felt incredible all day. I looked like the best version of myself. My skin looked flawless and the makeup is highly suitable for photographing, as it looks just as good in the photos too.
But it wasn’t only the amazing artwork Katy did on my hair and makeup which I appreciated. The first time I met Katy for my trial, I knew she was the person I would want to get ready with on the day of my wedding. She was so friendly, chatty and kind. She was also very calm, and on the day of the wedding she was very perceptive to my needs, understanding when I was gathering my thoughts and conversation was relaxed and easy as usual. Katy is a very intuitive person who uses her exceptional people skills within her business. She is experienced in the emotions brides go through on their wedding day, very understanding and perceptive of others. She adapted to the needs of the environment, and got her job done incredibly efficiently. I would highly encourage brides to consider this aspect of Katy’s work as it was so valuable to me.
Katy went above and beyond on the wedding morning and in trial sessions. She made sure I didn’t have any worries. She worked flat out to get everyone ready in the morning, meanwhile she also discreetly managed to take numerous photos and videos, plus helped me into my wedding dress so that I could do a dress reveal with my bridal party. Katy was prepared for every eventuality, even having a crochet hook on hand for the buttons, and cotton buds in case I cried! Not only this, but Katy was like a number one fan when I was getting ready. She made me feel amazing and beautiful.
I really would recommend Katy very highly for any makeup and hair needs. She is a fantastic makeup artist, hairdresser and a brilliant person.

"My change of makeup look for my Reception was PERFECTION! "

"Katy is an exceptional make-up artist"
Whoa, where to begin?!
Katy is an exceptional make-up artist. She totally blew me away with her work, knowing exactly how to create the most flowless look. I used Katy for both my pre-wedding shoot and my wedding day and I was not disappointed.
She is super personable and has the most calming energy in the room without a doubt - if anything was going wrong around us, I wouldn't have a clue!
I felt incredibly well looked after, she even had a care kit prepared filled with everything you would need but would certainly forget about on the day! Just amazing, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katy to everyone. Top tier professionalism, energy and skills!
Thank you for making my day exceed all expectations!

"She kept me calm throughout and went above and beyond"
I booked Katy for my wedding last week and could not be happier! I wear makeup every day so I was nervous about someone else doing my makeup. Her instagram had lots of useful information and lots of tips to help me prepare. From the second I walked into my makeup trail Katy put me at ease. We spoke about my inspiration photos and she understood exactly what I was looking for. She knew the venue well (Holmewood Hall) and gave me and the bridesmaid that came to my trial tips to help the wedding go smoother.
On the day of my wedding Katy was amazing. Despite the early start, she was chatty and helped us wake up - matching our energy as the day went on perfectly! While she hadn't met my 4 other bridesmaids before she listened to what they wanted and made suggestions when they felt a bit lost (and her skin tone matching was perfect).
She kept me calm throughout the whole process and went above and beyond. She helped get me into my dress and took some photos of us when we were running out of time. I still looked like 'me' but completely elevated and I received lots of positive comments throughout the day.
Katy, I cannot thank you enough!

"I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my Wedding Day"
" I absolutely recommend Katy for any occasion.
Having only had professional makeup done once before, I was a bit apprehensive about having my makeup done for my wedding. However, from the moment I met Katy, I felt at ease. She listened to everything I said and then worked actual magic! I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and it is all thanks to Katy.
Having hoped for no rain, we instead had 33 degree sunshine and it was sweltering. After the ceremony I was worried that my makeup wasn’t going to look great for the photos, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It all stayed put and looked as good as it had when it was first done. Katy was lovely and personable and every single member of my bridal party commented on what a fabulous person she is, as well as how insane her make up skills are!
The bridal party have already said we’re planning on booking in a masterclass and I will definitely be calling on Katy for any future occasions!
Thank you Katy - you’re absolutely fabulous!"

"Katy did so much more that wasn't make up - she was just wonderful all round"
Katy's make up for my wedding was phenomenal - the bridesmaids looked stunning and my makeup didnt budge/crease/ go oily the whole day (certainly till I took it off at 2am).
I am not one to wear make up, but I felt beautiful all day. It was just perfect - she interpreted my pretty vague requests perfectly. The touch up kits were wonderfully thoughtful but not needed as my face stayed in place and didn't budge. My mum said it was the first time she has had make up done where she hasnt wanted to take it off within the hour - she loved it.
Katy did so much more that wasn't make up - the timings, keeping everything calm and professional, having a croquet hook on hand for buttons, scissors to cut the hanging supports- she was just wonderful all round.

"Words aren’t enough to thank her for how she made me feel inside and out"
5 stars isn’t enough - are you kidding!!
Katy is the most unbelievable make up artist but it didn’t stop there, she made sure I was calm throughout.
She even had a kit of spare items that brides tend to forget so when I had forgotten my toothpaste she was right there to resolve the issue.
All of my bridal party looked incredible.
She even topped their lipstick up after they’d had one too many Proseccos!
My make up lasted for well over 16 hours without budging,
even in rain and wind outside.
Words aren’t enough to thank her for how she made me feel inside and out xxx
