Melissa and team did my makeup for my wedding in December 2024 as well as my bridal party, mom, and mother-in- law. Everyone looked and felt gorgeous and the team was a pleasure to work with. I appreciated that Melissa offered a trial for me to test out make-up before officially booking her for my wedding. The trial was so helpful to give me an idea of the look I wanted and I immediately booked Melissa for my wedding day. On the day of my wedding, Melissa and her team arrived on time and were so efficient from start to finish. I felt confident and beautiful on my day with my make-up done and highly recommend Melissa and her team!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melissa and her team of hair and make-up professionals!!!
First, Melissa offered a trial for me to test out hair & make-up before officially booking her and her team for my wedding. The trial was so helpful to give me an idea of the look I wanted for my wedding. I loved how everything came out during the trial and immediately booked Melissa for my wedding day!
On the day of my wedding, Melissa and her team arrived on time and were so efficient from start to finish. The last thing you want to be concerned about on the day of your wedding is if the hair & make-up will run smoothly. With Melissa and her team, I was at ease throughout the entire "getting ready" process. The hair & make-up teams each listened to every person's specific hair & make-up requests, and the final results were better than I could have imagined!!! Everyone in the bridal party, my sister-in-law, my mom and my now mother-in-law were extremely happy with their hair& make-up and felt so beautiful for the wedding. I was beyond thrilled with how my hair & make-up came out, and it lasted all day/night (even through first look pictures outside, bridal party pictures, wedding ceremony, and a TON of dancing)!!
I also want to mention that Melissa & her team are so kind and fun to be around. We all had a great time chatting and laughing while having our hair & make-up done. Keep in mind that you spend a good portion of the morning/afternoon with the hair & make-up team, and you want to be sure that they bring positive energy to your special day...Melissa and her team were a pleasure to spend time with and it honestly felt like we were among great friends!
Melissa and her team ensured that everyone was 100% happy with their hair & make-up, and even waited until we had a quick lunch to put the final touches on our make-up.
If you are a bride looking to book hair & make-up services for your upcoming wedding...RUN don't walk to book Melissa! You will not be disappointed!!!!!
Melissa--thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did to ensure hair & make-up for my wedding was perfect!!! You are a true gem!!!

Melissa and her team were a true pleasure to work with. They made everyone feel gorgeous. Melissa did exactly what I wanted ( a natural look and still look like myself) and made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt. All of my bridesmaids could not stop talking about how beautiful they felt. She made me feel calm and relaxed on the biggest day of my life. I can’t wait to have another event to have Melissa do my makeup. You will not be disappointed booking with her and her team!

Melissa and her team were such a pleasure to work with! My wedding day makeup by Melissa came out flawless and was exactly what I wanted, and Jess created the perfect low updo for a soft and elegant look - both stayed put all night! Melissa was organized, responsive, and flexible leading up to my wedding day. Day of, her and her team were right on time, professional, and super efficient. I had a lot of girls for hair and makeup, but nobody felt rushed and everyone was very happy with their looks. Would highly recommend!

I had Melissa as my makeup artist for my wedding. Melissa will listen to your needs and wishes and will make you look absolutely stunning on your wedding day. She spends extra time with the bride ensuring that she gets exactly the look the bride is looking for. Melissa was on time and efficient which helped make the morning less stressful and not rushed. She is very flexible and easy to work with. I trust you she will not disappoint. Highly recommended.

Melissa and her team were awesome! They were so friendly and so much fun to have around on the morning of the wedding. My bridesmaids and I were so pleased with how they did our hair and makeup; they really brought our visions to life!
Melissa worked on my makeup as the bride and did a fantastic job. I told her that I wanted a little more makeup vs. my trial from a few months before, and what she ended up doing with my cheeks, eyes, lips etc. looked absolutely amazing. I was also very pleased with my hairstyle as well!
Overall we were extremely happy with the team and I would definitely highly recommend Melissa to any future brides!

Melissa and her team are INCREDIBLE. Melissa did my makeup and Liz did my hair and I could not be happier. I received compliments all night. We had a total of 4 people- 2 hair and 2 makeup artists that came the day of the wedding since I had a rather large bridal party. They were such a pleasure to work with, they were on time (early even), made my vision come to life and my hair and makeup lasted all day.. in August. I cried happy tears all day and my makeup didn’t budge and danced all night and my hair didn’t move. I could not recommend Melissa and her team more!! Thank you SO much.

I had an amazing experience with Danielle as my hair stylist for both my trials and wedding day. Danielle is very skilled at styling hair in a way that meets the clients' needs and expectations and also constantly maintains professionalism and timeliness. I had seven women getting their hair done on my wedding day, including myself, my mother, my mother-in-law, my matron of honor, and the bridesmaids. Danielle arrived early and finished early after doing an amazing job. Everyone was very happy with their end result and our hair looked fantastic at the end of the night! I'm still receiving comments about how great everyone looked. Communicating with Melissa was also a wonderful experience. Her responses were prompt and her instructions for wedding trial and day preparation were thorough. I would highly recommend Melissa and Danielle for your wedding hair needs!

We used this company for wedding makeup. I worked with Nicole Citarella. She has competitive prices and has an incredible kit. When we scheduled a trial, she made sure to give me everything I wanted and needed. We worked closely to schedule the day-of. She and Melissa came, stayed on schedule, made sure everyone had what they wanted, and Nicole took her time on me. I looked like a princess and, therefore, felt like one. My makeup stayed perfect from the moment it stayed on to the moment I took it off. I cannot recommend Nicole - or this company - enough.

Melissa and her team were a dream to work with! She is incredibly accommodating and has amazing staff who will go above and beyond to make you feel beautiful! I was so impressed by my hair and trial appointments and was already so pleased with my choice. But the day of the wedding, this team blew my mind! They were ready to rock the minute we stepped in the door of the venue, they were able to handle a large group of bridesmaids and friends and family. They went out of their way to do touch ups before leaving for folks who got in their chairs early and everyone was so impressed with their work! I felt truly beautiful on my wedding day thanks to them!!!

Kerri and Nicole are MAGIC workers! My goodness, they made me, my bridesmaids, Mom and MIL look radiant on my wedding day! Kerri was my hairstylist and she was so kind and patient during my trial and on the wedding day, tweaking my up-do until it was perfect. Nicole was my makeup artist and she made me look elegant but also still natural. She taught me to use white eyeliner in my waterline to brighten up my eye makeup and now I apply it everyday to my normal routine LOL ;)
I hope to work with them again in the future!

I had the pleasure of working with Melissa and her team twice in just a few months. I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding who also used Melissa. Her team is so fun and friendly- it felt like we made new friends in just a few hours! The morning of my wedding we had a slight issue. My mom decided to go to her own salon for hair and makeup as we had a lot of girls and she thought this would help time wise. Her makeup ended up needing to be all redone and Melissa’s team came to the rescue and last minute completely redid her makeup and she looked amazing. Beyond grateful for her team. Thanks again Melissa!!

Melissa’s team is absolutely amazing! Everything from my trial to all the girl’s hair and makeup on the day of was fantastic. I had a few images for inspiration and they were able to help me create my perfect look. All my bridesmaids were so happy with how their hair and makeup came out and raved about how amazing the team was. She was able to send a team of 4 people to have my entire wedding party done on time without waking up at the crack of dawn! I felt so beautiful on the day of my wedding, I cannot recommend them enough!

There are no words to describe how wonderful Melissa and her team were. I used them for hair and makeup and everything was flawless. Melissa and her team were so prompt, friendly and professional. We had 12 people between our bridal party and mothers and everyone looked absolutely stunning. Lisa did my hair and I could not have asked for a better hair stylist. My glam waves were on point and did not move the entire night going into the next day! Melissa did my makeup and I cannot say enough on how flawless and beautiful I looked! She really took her time and listened to my wants and needs. My makeup lasted the entire day and night even with dancing all night my makeup looked amazing !

I cannot say enough positive things about the MD beauty team. Melissa and team are a must for your next wedding. They were such a fun bunch to work with. Everyone absolutely loved their hair and makeup and from a bride’s perspective I loved that they set the pace for our day, keeping us on time and setting us up for a fun and relaxed morning. At no point did we feel rushed. Every bridesmaid loved their looks. I still can’t get over how beautiful I looked and felt. And my hair and makeup lasted from 11AM to well after the wedding that evening. I was so proud and excited to show the team off to my closest friends and family. They are such a talented group of women and they are a must for your upcoming wedding. Thanks ladies!!

Melissa and her team were so amazing to work with! They were able to complete 10-12 girls' hair and makeup within 4 hours! Including me as the bride! They were efficient yet the hair and makeup lasted for 10+ hours. Melissa was so accommodating and her expertise made me feel really confident and made planning easy on my end. Couldn't have done it without Melissa and her team!

So leading up to our wedding, I was having serious anxiety about how I would look and feeling my "best." I was so stressed out I actually went for my trial and legit almost had a panic attack but Melissa eased every. single. one. of my worries and stress.
Not only is she just the absolute cutest human being on the planet but she is so sweet. As for her talent, she somehow takes your face, and makes it look like the absolute best version of yourself. She doesn't overdo it but also gives you enough something to feel extra special.
My mom was so worried too so she also went for a trial and she left the toughest to please one smiling ear to ear. I cannot recommend her enough.
how the photos would come out what if I looked awkward or he got all the wrong angles. I was SO wrong to be nervous. We had an amazing engagement shoot with Tim in Old City Philly which he had never shot in before but he did extensive research and found some really great locations while also taking our suggestions and ideas for places that meant a lot to us both. The turnaround for those photos was SO quick and they were all great. Our wedding day and photos were no different. Tim and his team went above and beyond and I couldn't be happier. They're also probably the most reasonable photographer/videographer I came across in the tri-state area to boot!

Melissa and her team did such a fantastic job for my wedding. I first did my trial for my bridal shower a month before my wedding to ensure I would like the style. Her team really listened to what I was looking for and executed very well. They were so sweet and humble and my bridal party had nothing but great things to say on how their hair and makeup came out. Every ones hair and especially makeup still looked flawless by the end of the night! They are really a pleasure to work with. 10/10 would recommend them!

Melissa and team were absolutely amazing for my wedding! When I first got engaged, I did not even think twice about who to book. I had gotten my hair & makeup done by the team for both my sisters and my best friend’s wedding, so I booked immediately. I was obsessed with my hair and makeup day of and thought everyone in my bridal party looked absolutely stunning. Melissa is incredible to work with leading up and my makeup was flawless day of! Andrea is also a rockstar, dealing with me changing my hairstyle the day before, but it was perfect. I love them both!

I was nervous about getting everything done before the photographer came but they were such pros and everything was done well before we had to start the photos! My hair and makeup looked STUNNING and I felt like a princess because of them! All of my bridesmaids and my mom and mother-in-law looked fantastic as well! They were also so patient and friendly. My eye kept tearing and they were great about helping me touch it up so nothing got messed up. I am so grateful for the amazing team!

Melissa and her team were amazing!! I postponed my wedding 4 times and every time Melissa made the postponement process so easy!
Melissa and her team did my hair and makeup multiple times (engagement shoot, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, 2 hair and makeup trials) and every time they did a great job! Melissa is sooo responsive, kind, and fun to be around.
The day of, her and her team (I think 3 hair and 3 make up girls) did an UNREAL job. Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing and lasted the entire day and night. We started getting ready at 8am and the party didn't end until 1am. Everyone's hair and makeup stayed in place.
I would highly highly recommend Melissa and her team for your wedding!!!

I also feel they went above & beyond in terms of friendliness and chatting with everyone who was getting ready (they were so peppy for so early in the morning!).
Everyone, including myself, was beyond pleased with their hair and make-up (one girls STILL texts me to tell me how much she loved her up do!). 10/10!

It was a no-brainer to reach out to Melissa for my wedding and I had the good fortune of having Nicole and Shelly as the artists at my wedding in September 2021! My makeup and the makeup of my bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law was absolutely flawless. It lasted all day and night and we received SO many compliments. Nicole and Shelly are both so sweet and they made our morning of getting ready even better! Highly recommend Melissa and her team for your wedding or event!

I had the pleasure of having my Melissa do my makeup for my wedding 12 years ago so when I was helping my brother and his fiance plan their wedding I knew exactly who to hire and we were not disappointed! Hair and make up was flawless, and we didn't have to reapply or readjust once! We were still photo ready at 10:30pm as if we just stepped out of the stylist chairs! Not only were hair and makeup above expectation but the stylists were fun, friendly and knowledgable! Such an amazing experience and I would continue to use Melissa and her group whenever possible!

Melissa and her team were AMAZING! I can honestly say I’ve never had my make up done before without changing something afterward- Melissa is the first person who’s ever gotten it perfect!!! She is super talented and also really sweet. She followed up with me after my trial (which I immediately booked with her for my wedding) to see how the make up held up throughout the night and ensure she could make notes of any tweaks for my big day. I have oily eyelids so I had a little bit of eyeliner smearing after 8 hours and Melissa assured me she would use waterproof liner for my wedding day and even offered to make an appointment with me to redo my eyes at no charge to make sure they were perfect! Melissa is also super responsive over text and email, which is something that was really important to me as a bride. I had a tough time sleeping the night before my wedding and ended up awake at 5 am and I was having trouble falling back asleep because I knew we needed to be ready to start hair and make up at 8am (I had 12 girls in my bridal party). So I texted Melissa and she told me I could sleep in and she didn’t need me there until 10:45 am latest- This was an absolute life saver- I feel like I wouldn’t have made it through the day without the extra sleep! Kerri did my hair and it was AWESOME! She teaches classes on glam waves (which after seeing some photos of her work I knew I wanted!) and she also did a second braided look for me for the reception. Kerri was super fun and easy going and helped me remain calm and laughing the morning of my wedding. We had two additional MUA/stylists, and everyone’s make up looked AMAZING! All of the girls were so happy, and it held up through the heat and humidity of July. Thank you Melissa and team!! I couldn’t recommend a vendor more!!

Melissa was a pleasure to work with from start to finish of the wedding planning process. Melissa did my makeup along with my mom and sister’s and she did an amazing job. The makeup was natural, beautiful, and lasted all day and night long. Shelly did my sister and I’s hair for my wedding and did a great job as well. She listened to the style we both wanted and used an inspo picture we showed her to recreate two beautiful updos for my wedding day. Melissa and Shelly are not only great at what they do but were so friendly and easy to talk to. They made getting ready so calming and enjoyable when the morning of your wedding can be a crazy one.

I booked Melissa and her team back in 2019. When my wedding was postponed due to covid, contacting and working with Melissa to move my date was one of the easiest things. She was SO responsive, helpful, patient, and kind. I can’t thank her enough for making the switch and changing of things so so easy. The team met myself, my bridal party of 5, MOB and MOG, at the venue and they did a BEYOND phenomenal job with both hair and makeup for everyone. Everyone raved about how much they loved their services. Both hair and makeup artists did touch ups on everyone, put my veil on and explained to someone how to take it out. Looking back at pictures, I’m obsessed with how everything came out. So thankful to Melissa and her wonderful team!

I was amazed that from the few comments/suggestions I had from my trial they were able to make changes and give me exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. I truly felt beautiful and so did my bridesmaids and mother. Thank you for making me feel like a princess and make my wedding day so memorable!

My husband and I got married this August 2020. All of our plans changed with Covid and we ended up doing an intimate backyard wedding at my parents home. Melissa was so easy and wonderful to work with. She made me feel beautiful and comfortable, Melissa is very personal and really listens/captures how you want your makeup to look. Makeup was not heavy at all and I looked like myself just better! I can’t wait to work with Melissa again next year for the big party.

The Melissa D'Aloia & Co team did an amazing job and were a dream to work with. Melissa was the sweetest throughout and very accommodating. She's quick to respond and answers all questions with patience. I worked with Lisa on her team for my hair for my wedding day and she did an incredible job. She did myself, mother and sister and all came out beautiful. I highly recommend!

The team at Melissa & Co were absolutely incredible for my September 2020 wedding! First, planning was seamless with Melissa who was flexible and patient with us throughout the whole process, something I greatly appreciated during this especially stressful time. The hair and makeup trial helped me and my artists perfect the vision and look for the big day. On the big day, the team finished my sizeable bridal party ahead of schedule. Every single one of my ladies looked like a naturally glammed up version of themselves and just breathtaking. I was so concerned that crying would mess up my makeup before pictures, but my makeup (and hair) stayed intact right through the after party despite crying and dancing the night away. I am so so thrilled with the quality of our services and can't be more grateful to the whole team! Highly recommended!!!!!!

I absolutely loved working with Melissa D'Aloia & Co. and would recommend Melissa and her team to any Bride. I first reached out to Melissa in 2019 to do my makeup for my May 2020 wedding. In April of 2020 I found myself rescheduling my wedding due to COVID-19. It was overwhelming and stressful to say the least, but Melissa was amazing to work with through the entire process. Not only did I need to reschedule my wedding day to August 1, 2020, but I also needed to schedule my trial and Melissa was communicative and easy to plan with every step of the way. My makeup artist for my wedding day ended up being Nicole and she was absolutely amazing! I LOVED how I looked for my wedding day and my bridesmaids looked incredible as well. Not only are Melissa and her team very talented makeup artists, but they are also extremely professional, calming, organized and lovely...all things a Bride needs on her wedding day! While COVID-19 added an unbelievable amount of stress to the wedding day, having supportive and gracious vendors like Melissa D'Aloia & Co. made my day run as smoothly as possible and I am so grateful to Nicole and Melissa for everything they did leading up to, and on my wedding day.

I don’t have one bad word to say about Melissa and her team. They were so amazing and professional at what they do! She listened to what I wanted and I was blown away by her and Kelly’s talent. I have recommended her multiple times since and everyone has said that she has done great work. She and her team were on time and they help to make you feel relaxed and ready to walk down the aisle. 10/10!

Melissa was such a pleasure to work with!! I booked my hair through her and she was so responsive and helpful. I had Kerry for my trial and absolutely loved her! She was able to recreate my exact vision. It came out even better on my actual wedding day. Kerry is so incredibly nice and funny; someone you’re happy to have with you the morning of your wedding. Shelly did a great job on my bridesmaids as well. Everyone looked amazing! Thank you so much!!

Melissa did an outstanding job on my make up, my bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law. She got it right on the first try with us all!! She also budgeted her time perfectly for the getting ready process and had us right on schedule! We worked with Lisa for hair and she listened to everyone's wishes and was committed to making us all happy. We were all incredibly thrilled with how our hair came out!
Melissa and Lisa were able to deliver both "natural" and more "glam" looks when requested. I would highly recommend Melissa and her team as they are personable, flexible, dedicated, and highly skilled at what they do!

Melissa was an absolute doll to work with! She is so attentive and helped me coordinate my day perfectly. Tammy did my hair and Marixia did my makeup. They were an unbelievable team and made me look flawless.
2 weeks before the wedding I was stressing that we would not be ready on time because I had such a large bridal party (11 girls and 2 mothers) . Melissa rearranged some things to make sure I had 3 hair dressers and 3 makeup artists. They did not disappoint. Her girls made us look beautiful and helped the morning run smoothly .
I highly recommend using Melissa and her girls

The BEST OF the BEST!! Look no further Melissa is the absolute BEST person to do your hair/makeup for the wedding. I can’t even begin to tell you how phenomenal she and her team are. I was in a pinch last minute (I had a horrible trial with another company/it left me in tears, feeling hideous and no bride should feel that way prior to their wedding) and a friend recommended Melissa. I truly wish that I went with her from the beginning. She went above and beyond to help me out on my big day with only two months away to find someone to do our hair/makeup on my wedding day. Melissa was professional with every email, answered in a timely manner and radiated kindness that you could tell she truly wishes the best for all of her clients. She even took the time out of her busy day to call me to ensure everything was all set for the big day. Such a personal touch that left me feeling the utmost confident in Melissa and her team. Upon leaving the trial I felt like princess and as for the wedding itself her team made me feel like a true goddess. Lauren and Shelly were the stylists for the day of my wedding and they were a dream come true. Their bubbly personalities, professionalism, true talent was exemplified through how every girl radiated confident and could not stop gushing how gorgeous they felt. We all agreed we have never felt so gorgeous in our entire lives. Please safe yourself the hassle by looking no further and book Melissa. She is worth every star and more. I could not have had such a wonderful wedding without her and I am blessed to have met her and her team!

Working with Melissa’s team was a pleasure! Melissa was responsive and helpful. Nicole was our makeup artist the day of the wedding and she was fantastic! She did make up on 6 of my bridesmaids plus myself. She spent time on each girl to make sure our look was flawless. Never did we feel rushed for time or panicked. Nicole made sure that everyone was happy with their look and did touch ups right before we all walked down the aisle. She worked with my photographer to make sure they got the shots they wanted. I would 100% recommend Melissa’s company and her team, especially Nicole. Thank you so much for helping to make our day perfect!

Melissa and her team were absolutely amazing!
Nicole and Sabrina were the 2 make up artists working the day of my wedding and I couldn't have been happier with everything.
Throughout the whole process, Melissa was extremely professional, responsive and willing to work with my situation (I had a pregnant bridesmaid that I wasn't sure was going to make the day).
I wouldn't have changed a thing - I am so thankful for her and her team :)

Melissa and Danielle (hair stylist) did an OUTSTANDING job getting myself and 6 other people ready before my wedding. Danielle listened to everyone's requests and was super quick and efficient. Everyone LOVED their hair. I was a bit unclear as to what I wanted in my hair trial, and Danielle somehow knew exactly what to do. She's really the best! Thank you so much for being a part of my day!

Lisa came to my home the day of the wedding and was on time and professional. The girls loved the work she did. One mentioned she always wanted updos like what she got that day - she was ecstatic. Lisa was quick, and all the girls who worked with her that day looked gorgeous. We were very lucky to work with this company.

I booked Melissa D'Aloia & Co. Luxury Hair + Make Up as the hair stylist for my wedding earlier in June 2019. I had a trial with Andrea a couple months before the wedding and loved the look she did for me: elegant, beautiful, sophisticated, and everything I was looking for. On of the day of the wedding, Andrea really brought her A-game and made my hair look even more amazing than it did during the trial! I was SO pleased and happy with my hair and received so many compliments from our guests. I felt like a true princess! Melissa and her team are very talented artists and in addition to their stellar skills, they are such personable and sincere individuals and I really enjoyed my interactions and conversations with them. Everyone was so lovely to work with and I highly recommend Melissa and her team! Thank you Melissa and Andrea!

Melissa and her team are absolutely outstanding!
Melissa was incredibly responsive and helpful every time I reached out which is important to every bride. She answered all my questions and was very accommodating when scheduling trials and times for wedding day. One less stress.
Makeup artist Nicole and hairstylist Kerry are super talented and made all efforts to make sure we were all happy with our looks! My hair and makeup stayed intact throughout the entire day and photographed beautifully. All I did was simply show them photographs of what we were looking for and they nailed it effortlessly. On top of that, they were an absolute pleasure to be around.
SO SO happy with how everything turned out! Highly recommend.

If there was an option to leave more than 5 stars, I would absolutely do that for Melissa and her team of all-stars. I met Melissa and her team a few years ago when I was in my cousin's wedding and they did our hair and make up (and thank GOD she did). I was so impressed with the level of service throughout that whole day and saw how close she and my cousin became - it's like she was part of the family!! I, obviously, wanted the same thing for myself at some point!
When I got engaged a year and a half later, she was the first person that I emailed to block in the date for our wedding - I had to have her! Pre-wedding, I had a difficult time finding a hair style that I liked that fit my dress well and Melissa and Andrea were absolutely fabulous with accommodating many hair trials. Melissa and Andrea were incredibly responsive over email and I never once felt like I was in the dark about the whole process. It was such a relief, especially when trying to coordinate across many other different wedding decisions.
Come to the day of the wedding, she and her team were magic. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect morning prior to the craziness that was about to ensue. My makeup was absolute fire 💣 and I felt like Melissa had just elevated my look to a completely different level. I wanted to feel myself but just amplified a bit, and Melissa understood EXACTLY what that meant. I can't tell you how many compliments I received and I never once needed a touch up throughout the whole day. It was amazing.
Andrea did my hair and she is a genius who knows how to work any type of hair style. I had such an amazing time getting to know them during this whole process that now I'm really sad that it's over :(
Melissa and her team are the "creme de la creme". Wonderful humans who just want to see their clients happy. Thank you, Melissa, Andrea, and team, for making my day one that I will never forget!!!

Melissa and her team are amazing!! From the initial conversation on Melissa is extremely professional and communicates every detail to you. Sabrina is the makeup artist that came to my house for me and my bridesmaids and she was so wonderful. She was early, professional, and worked hard to make sure everyone looked absolutely perfect. She made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day and I could not have asked for more. Thank you Sabrina and Melissa!!!
