My experience with Whimsy was absolutely fabulous. From the moment I stepped into their studio, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience.

Kate at Whimsy is incredibly talented and passionate about their craft. They took the time to understand my vision and preferences, and then worked their magic to bring it to life. Whether it was a glamorous updo or a flawless makeup look, they exceeded my expectations every step of the way.

What impressed me most was their attention to detail. Every brush stroke and hairpin was placed with precision, resulting in a look that was both stunning and long-lasting. They used high-quality products that not only looked amazing but also felt comfortable to wear throughout the day.

Not only is Kate at Whimsy skilled at their craft, but they are also a joy to work with. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making me feel beautiful and confident for my event.

Thanks to Kate, I felt like a true princess on my both my special days. I received countless compliments on my hair and makeup, and I owe it all to their expertise and talent.

If you're looking for hair and makeup artists who will go above and beyond to make you look and feel your best, look no further than Whimsy! They are simply the best in the business!

(April 2024 wedding) Katie and her team were incredible! Prompt, received many compliments from my bridesmaids, and very fun to be around. From the start, Katie was extremely responsive and clearly had experience working with a variety of skin types. I have freckles so wanted a soft, sheer glow and she was able to deliver. She also did an incredible braid that I received many compliments on. She offered traditional or airbrush makeup, and even my bridesmaids who never used airbrush were impressed with the coverage. I would 100% recommend Katie and the rest of her team for wedding hair and makeup. She was able to find four stylists that covered 23 services in under 4 hours - impressive!!

We feel so lucky we got to work with Katie and her team for our wedding hair & makeup. As two brides with slightly different hair and makeup style preferences, Katie did a great job of matching our individual visions while still making us look cohesive as a couple. We loved the balance of feeling glamorous while still looking like ourselves. She also assembled a great team, and both Katie and her team provided a fun, warm, and calming energy on the day of, so we could truly enjoy the process and not worry at all as we got ready. We highly recommend Katie & Whimsy Bridal!

Katie did my bridal make up in June 2023 and was amazing! She was incredibly flexible. Initially, the plan was just to have her do my make up. We then ended up adding 5 additional make up services pretty last minute. Katie was more than willing to adjust and help out. Everyone looked and felt beautiful. Would definitely recommend!!

The Whismy! bridal team is one of the best in the biz! Katie is not only a talented artist when is comes to all things hair and makeup, but she is funny, kind and outgoing which keeps her clients feeling relaxed in the chair. I've had the pleasure of working with her for 10+ years and as a wedding planner, she keeps my clients happy and the timeline of the day on track. She is a beauty guru and I cannot recommend her team enough!!
