THANK YOU, DANIELLE, FOR YOUR LOVE + SUPPORT!

“As a 2023 bride I cannot speak more highly of Carly! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she has such a great energy! She meshed so well with all of us & added such fun conversation the morning of my wedding. Carly made sure we also all FELT beautiful (while looking fabulous). I had absolute trust in her ability to make all of us look stunning on my wedding day, and she went above and beyond for all of us 🤍 I recommend her so so much to anyone who wants their makeup done because she is there for brides every single step of the way.”

CLICK THE TOPIC THAT YOU NEED ANSWERS TO

    • Please make sure to review my availability on the Booking page before filling out the inquiry form.

    • I only accept inquiries from you (aka - any inquiries from anyone other than you will be asked to send over your contact info.) This ensures that there’s full understanding and communication!

    • All wedding bookings require a $500 retainer payment & signed contract to be secured. Dates are not held by inquiries. The retainer is applied to your day-of service.

    • I require a minimum of the bride + 4 others OR the price equivalent ($1,200) for all wedding services on Fridays and Saturdays.

    • Investment cost is subject to change at any time. Only contracted rates will be honored.

  • What’s required to book?

    When you’re ready to go forward, you’ll receive a proposal of services, which includes a, itemized invoice, payment schedule, and contract. A 50% retainer payment and signed contract are what’s required to secure your date.

    How quickly do you book?

    Weddings have been booking quicker than ever nowadays with up to 18 months in advance! The longer you wait to book, the quicker someone takes the date, as anyone is open to book a date if the contract + retainer payment are not completed.

    Do you have a have a minimum booking cost?

    Yes - a minimum of the bride + 4 others or the cost equivalent. Meaning: if you don’t have a total of 5 people, the minimum cost is firm. You’re able to substitute the remaining applications for wedding related events!

    I haven’t confirmed the # of people that want makeup. How do I book? When should I confirm this number by?

    How to book: Leave anyone on the fence out of the count! While people can opt out later on, the balance due remains firm.

    When to confirm: For a head count of 7 or less, it must be confirmed 2 months before the wedding day. For head counts of 8+, it must be confirmed 6 months before if the wedding is Nov-Apr, and 12 months before if the wedding is May-Oct due to needing another artist to assist.

    What if people decide to opt in or out after I book?

    People can opt in on a case-by-case basis based on timing and potentially needing another artist if it reaches 8+

    People are able to opt out, but the cost of services remains firm.

    Do you take separate payments from each person?

    I only take payment from you! If someone is financially helping out or if your wedding party is paying for their own services, please have them pay you privately!

  • What is a preview?

    A preview, also known as a trial, is a preliminary makeup session held to decide what makeup look you’d like to wear on your wedding day.

    Can I book a preview before committing?

    Since previews don’t hold dates, they’re exclusively for booked brides!

    Is my preview a separate cost?

    Your preview is included in your investment!

    When and where are previews held? How long does it take?

    When? I reach out to you at the 3 month mark to schedule the preview 1-2 months before the wedding day.

    Where? Previews are held at my studio off of Grandview Avenue in Columbus, OH.

    For how long? Previews are allotted for 90 minutes. We also create your timeline after the makeup is complete!

    Can anyone else besides me book a preview?

    Anyone who is receiving services is welcome to schedule a preview! It’s priced at the same rate as their day-of application. Itemized pricing can be found on the “Booking” page.

  • Can we get ready at my venues bridal suite?

    Please reach out to your venue to see when they open their bridal suite! Some don’t open them until early morning/late afternoon which does not give hair and makeup enough time to complete services. I always recommend getting ready at an AirBnB, residence, or hotel suite if this is the case!

    Do we need to bring any of our own products or brushes?

    NO! Down to the single paper towel, I bring everything I need to do the job!

    Do you provide touch ups before you leave?

    Yes! I provide touch up kits for you as well for shine and lips.

    What happens if you’re unable to make it on the wedding day?

    If I’m unable to make it to your wedding, I try my absolute best to find a trusted replacement as soon as possible. There’s more information on this scenario in our contract!

  • What brands do you carry?

    I carry familiar brands like Patrick Ta, NARS, MAC, Tatcha, and Fenty Beauty along with professionally recognized brands such as Kryolan, Graftobian, and Senna Cosmetics.

    Do you offer airbrush makeup?

    At this time, I use cream and liquid foundation. Paired with skin prep, powder, and setting spray - you’ll be glammed all night long!

    Do you offer lashes/individual lashes?

    Yes! I carry strip and individual lashes. Lashes are included for every application at no extra fee.

    I don’t think I want lashes, will that lower the cost?

    Since lashes are included, the cost is firm. Trust me - you’ll want them later on!

  • Do you provide the additional artist?

    Yes! I take care of the search and booking process for you and ensure that the artist is sanitary, trustworthy, and has a similar style to mine.

    When is the additional artist secured?

    I book the additional artist after you’re date is booked.

    What fees apply to the additional artist?

    A $200 fee is applied for all bookings requiring an additional artist (8+), along with any travel/lodging/parking fees.

    Who is the additional artist?

    I’m thankful to have a network of amazing and talented makeup artists to reach out to. Once the artist is booked, I end you an email with their IG handle to keep you in the loop!
