FAQ’S

SELECT THE TOPIC THAT YOU NEED ANSWERS TO

- 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 + 3 others OR the Bride Only Package 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? And how quickly should I book?
When you’re ready to go forward, you’ll receive a proposal of services, which includes an itemized invoice, payment schedule, and contract. A 50% retainer payment and signed contract are what’s required to secure your date.
Most of my clients book within 12-18 months of their big day. 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.
Can you explain your minimum?
You + 3 others are already included in the minimum (along with other fun goodies!). I have it structured as a package so you don’t have to think about the little things, one-and-done!
What if I don't have enough people to meet the minimum? Is the price flexible?
While the minimum cost remains firm, I'm happy to chat about adjusting the inclusions to make something work!
What is the cost per person?
Please refer to the "A La Carte" add-ons to find the itemized cost per person!
I haven’t confirmed the # of people that want makeup. How do I book?
Leave anyone on the fence out of the count! While people can opt out later on, the balance due remains firm. We're able to add people on later!
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!
I DO NOT provide airbrush makeup and hair services.
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.
Do you apply lashes? Does everyone get them? Do you use individual lashes?
Yes , yes, and yes!
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.
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 2 hours. 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.
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!
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 late morning/early 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.
Do you provide the additional artist?
While I do not provide an additional artist since I specialize in smaller parties, you’re welcome to secure a second artist separately for anyone who I cannot accommodate. I’d be happy to do the legwork of finding a list of artists for you!
For reference, the maximum number I can accommodate is 6.

“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.”
