GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently Asked Questions

How do I secure my date?

After your vision call, we send your proposal and agreement. Your date is officially reserved once your signed agreement and retainer are received.

How far in advance should I book?

As soon as you have your date and venue. Weekend dates fill first, and we take a limited number of weddings each season.

Can I have a trial before reserving my wedding date?

Yes! A bridal trial is a wonderful way to experience your look and ensure we're the perfect fit for your wedding day. Please keep in mind that trial appointments are booked separately and do not hold your wedding date. Dates remain available to other inquiries until a contract is signed and the retainer is received.

Do I have to book Joanne herself?

No. Joanne personally leads every vision call, and you can choose to work with her or with a team artist matched to your look and your date.

How do you calculate travel?

Travel is included for getting-ready locations within a 2-hour round trip. Beyond that, a per-mile fee is added and quoted in your proposal. If you are not sure where you will be getting ready, send us the venue and we will work it out with you.

What if my party is smaller or larger than the bride + 3?

Packages include services for the bride plus up to 3 additional guests Monday-Thursday and the bride plus up to 5 additional guests Friday-Sunday. The package investment remains the same even if fewer services are needed. Need services for a larger party? Additional guests may be added for $200 per service.

Are hair extensions included?

Yes. The bride's extensions are included in our hair packages at no extra charge, whether or not your look ends up needing them.

Do you offer both hair and makeup?

Yes. Choose Hair, Makeup, or Hair & Makeup for the bride and her whole party, all on one timeline.

Do you offer destination wedding services?

Yes. We travel for destination weddings and multi-day celebrations. Send us your dates and location for a custom quote.

When will my bridal preview be?

For local packages, we schedule your preview together after you book, ahead of your wedding date, so there is time to fine-tune your look. Destination packages include rehearsal dinner bridal hair and makeup in place of a preview.

How long do services take on the day of?

Every timeline is built around your photographer's ready-by time and the size of your party. We send your timeline in advance, including start time and how many artists will be there. Want to finish sooner? You can add an artist for $200.

I'm worried about my makeup feeling heavy or looking cakey...

That is the most common worry we hear. Your preview is where we fine-tune the look together, and we adjust until it feels like you: polished, comfortable and lasting through the whole day.
