"Marti, thank you! All of us felt beautiful on my wedding day! Plus, everyone told us that we looked "gorgeous". Thank you for being such a helpful and humorous addition to our wedding day. Your work speaks for itself and I will send you pictures to prove it! I'd be flattered if you posted a photo of me on your web site. I knew that I was in good hands with you and am very grateful for everything! I will gladly recommend you to others and am happy to provide a reference, if you ever need me to do so."

Marti is an amazing person and make up artist! She not only is very talented in what she does (finding the perfect shade of foundation and complimentary colors to accent cheeks and eyes), she is also a wonderful caring person.

From the trial to the big day she makes you feel so important and special and allows you to feel comfortable with your decisions.

On a more personal note, she was very comforting to me when I was worried about arriving late to the ceremony. I had a friend do my hair and he is very talented but it took much longer than expected. She only had about 10 minutes to apply and she was able to do a beautiful job without appearing rushed and was calming me the whole time. In that 10 minutes, I feel like the make up looked like it took hours upon hours- just glamorous! She even helped with my veil!

Marti is the BEST person for wedding make up and I would recommend her to EVERYONE!
