Question: How many artist/stylist come on wedding days and do you ever charge for extra?
Answer: As you read in our contract under "wedding day team", we are a boutique style team. Meaning take on a limited number of weddings a year so that we can ensure each of our brides are given our very best. I am blessed to have some amazing women to work along side of me so that I don't have to do everything alone. On your wedding day we have at a minimum two team members on site. There are circumstances where we bring in more team members and there's no extra fee. However, sometimes our clients request additional team members or have a unique ceremony time or sometimes your venue doesn't permit early access and you don't want to get ready off site.
Those situations require us to bring all hands on deck but doing so there is am extra artist fee associated
1. In circumstances where you request an extra artist / stylist to serve your party size of 8 guest or less
2. When there are time limitations that require your bridal party to be ready prior to 11:00am
- Most common for brides with brunch weddings
3. When your booked venue does not permit access PRIOR to 10:00am.
- It is recommended to use an off site location if your venue limits your wedding day access. Most bridal party schedules start around 8:00am.
The Fee is As Followed : $275 per makeup artist & $120 per hair assistant.
