'Phoebe! Thank you so so much for everything today! Honestly, you made it such a dream and so much fun, and the hair and makeup looks were absolutely PERFECT!'
'I loved my makeup and it stayed on and flawless all night!!! Thank you so much again for making me look so perfect today!!!! This is the best makeup I've ever had. You are an absolute wizard.'
Phoebe did a great job listening to what each of us wanted and made sure we all looked our best throughout the day. She was very friendly and kind, which made it really fun to spend many hours with her prior to my wedding.
I was able to do a trial make-up run a few months before my wedding which allowed me to be familiar with Phoebe and her work. This also allowed me to make any adjustments for my final wedding day makeup. I also had Phoebe do the makeup for 4 of my family members/wedding party. Many people had not had their makeup done professionally before and all had a very positive and enjoyable experience.
