Ellie was amazing
For my recent wedding Ellie did the make up for my 5 bridesmaids, my mum and then she did my make up and hair. Ellie is really talented - everyone absolutely loved their make up and she really listened to what everyone wanted. She was so calm during the wedding morning, and was such a great presence to have. I absolutely adored my hair and make up and felt like a million dollars on my wedding day. It really held so well through the day and all felt really light. I’d definitely use Ellie again if I had any upcoming events, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend anyone to use Ellie for their wedding hair and make up.

Happy bride - would highly recommend
Ellie did hair and make-up for myself and my three bridesmaids on my wedding day. She made me feel really comfortable during the trial, took the time to understand what 'look' I was after and how it would work with my skin and hair. That made a big difference as to how I was feeling on the day (as I don't usually wear a lot of make-up). Ellie enhanced my natural features, made me feel beautiful and did an similarly cracking job with all three of my gorgeous bridesmaids. It was really lovely to have Ellie's support on my wedding day, and I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Amazing for both weddings and celebrations
booked Ellie for my makeup, and for the MOB and aunty’s make up for my August 2020 wedding. She provided an excellent service in very uncertain times she was able to reschedule trials multiple times due to changes in government guidelines and was always highly responsive and flexible. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure I had exactly what I wanted, for both the trial and on the day. My mum and aunty were both very pleased with their makeup too. August 2021- Ellie did both my hair and make up. It looked amazing for our one year anniversary party! She provides excellent value for money and an excellent service.

Happy bride - very professional service from Ellie
Ellie helped me with my hair and make up on my wedding day. At the last moment I realised I needed her to arrive much earlier in the morning than originally agreed and Ellie was very flexible and adjusted her day for me. Ellie was able to accommodate all my wishes in terms of hair style and make up and also made recommendations where I was not sure. She is very professional, has a solid formal education in her art and this allows her to complete her job to a high standard and achieve satisfaction from the customer. I felt very comfortable on the day and trusted Ellie, and I was very content with the final outcome. Thank you Ellie and all the best in your professional career!

Feeling beautiful
I found Ellie through hitched and really liked the idea of having someone to do my hair and makeup. Ellie made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life on my wedding day. My hair and makeup trial was great as we played with different makeup looks which meant on the day I was confident that I would feel good. Prices were really reasonable and you saved money by having hair and makeup done together. Ellie is really down to earth and was great to have her there on the morning of my wedding day doing my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids! Thank you so much!

Beautiful bridal makeup!
I chose Ellie after looking at her photos and reviews on hitched and I'm so happy I had her to do my bridal makeup and my bridal party. After my bridal trial I felt so excited and at ease for my makeup for the big day, her style was natural and glamorous and everyone was so happy with their make up for the wedding day. Her communication was excellent and she was easily able to understand and makeup style that I wanted. On the day she kept me and everyone else nice and calm and was finished early and stayed to do any touch ups required. I would highly recommend Ellie and want to say a huge thank you to her for my beautiful make up!

I booked Ellie to do my hair and make for a day at the races. She arrived on time with huge selection of products and took the time to chat through my requirements. Ellie clearly listened to everything i had said as the end result was exactly what i was looking for! I was absolutely thrilled! Will most definitely be booking her again!

Brilliant hairstylist for my curly hair
I was extremely anxious about finding a reliable hair stylist for my naturally curly hair after many bad experiences! Ellie was knowledgeable and confident, and helped me come up with my ideal hair style after a couple of trials. Ellie was flexible and allowed me to add a couple of bridal party members last minute after their original mua/hair stylist plans fell through. She truly helped me look and feel the most beautiful I ever had on my special day!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't leave it too late to book your wedding suppliers. A lot of suppliers get booked up 2 years in advance!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once a couple have been in contact with me, I send over my prices/or a quote of the services they require. If you're happy with the note and want to book, I take a small deposit to secure your wedding date. We then decide when would be suitable to have a trial (if desired) which I usually advise to have at least 4-6 months prior to the wedding. Another small deposit is due to secure this date also. On the trial day I am there to make sure that we get the desired look you are wanting. I will not leave until you are 100% happy and satisfied with the trial. I will also take photos on the trial day as reference for the day itself.

What do you love most about your job?

I love seeing my clients feel the most confident, beautiful and happy on one of the most important days of their lives. To be able to be apart of that day fills me with so much happiness and joy!

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

When choosing your Hair & Makeup styles, make su you're choosing what you love and like rather than what anyone else likes. Go for a look or style that is very you and that you know you'll feel amazing with walking down the aisle.

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

Your Wedding day should be stress free and as memorable as possible for all the right reasons, and this is where I will help.
