All in one, with one mishap

by minpin25

It was such a relief to find a place that had a fun atmosphere and great customer service after a couple of really negative experiences at other bridal shops. The shop isn't stuffy or pretentious, the owners are knowledgeable and personable. Specifically we worked with Kim at Sewing Solutions, Andrea at August Veils, and Katherine at Event Cosmetics. Andrea's custom made veil and hair pieces (for my friend, the bride) turned out fabulously, as did the alterations by Kim. Both were at such a reasonable expense. Katherine didn't do our make up herself, but we were very pleased with the flexibility and results that we did receive. We had one HUGE misunderstanding though (an over $700 misunderstanding) with Event Cosmetics that came up the day before the wedding. Katherine did the best thing and honored the original understanding so we weren't left scrambling to find a replacement. For service, cost, and environment I recommend this place.

Exceptional Service by Event Cosmetics/Katelyn Dufour

by chelseas

Event Cosmetics (Katelyn Dufour) did the make-up for my mothers, sisters, and myself for my wedding. From my consultation to the day of the wedding, Katelyn was extremely professional, informative, helpful, and friendly. She explained each product, the application, and the process for the day of the wedding, which really helped put my mind at ease. Almost every aspect of my wedding planning before the consultation had been stressful and confusing at times. At my consultation, I felt for the first time completely taken care of and relaxed. The day of the wedding went on more perfect than I could have ever hoped and Katelyn was there every step of the day. I didn't feel like a average make-up artist was doing my make-up that day, I felt like a close friend or family member was there doing my make-up. She genuinely cared about me and wanted nothing but the best for me on my wedding day. Overall, my expericence with Katelyn and Event Cosmetics was the most enjoyable and rewarding expericences of my wedding. I am so thankful for the experience and I would recomment them to anyone I know. Thank you so much!

• Pros: Excellent Service, friendly, professional

A class act with quality service.

I was very satisfied with all of the consultants I worked with at the Bridal Loft. Kim at Sewing Solutions transformed my borrowed dress into one that looked like it was made for no one but me - and for a very reasonable price.

Katherine and Charissa (Event Cosmetics) not only did an amazing job with hair and make up, but they did it on location at a very unconventional time and location. Their extensive on-location experience was a key factor for me and I had complete confidence they'd be there at the top of that mountain before dawn ready to go. And they were the first ones there, very much the pros I was counting on. The make up consultation was also key because I'm a makeup novice. Katherine walked me through what each product and method achieved and how event make up ( think 400 plus photos in summer sun) differs from every-day makeup. She's a great advisor and an aproachable teacher.

Andrea at August Veils transformed my sister's voluminous veil into a light, simple one that made my whole look look finished and complete, yet was easily removed if the wind kicked up. (It didn't, but with outdoor weddings you've gotta prepare.)

Lastly, Dolcie is a skilled, responsive assistant that make the coordination of it all go smoothly.
