Awarded Best of Zola
I reached out to Bill about three months before my wedding, after a disappointing hair trial with another stylist. From our very first phone conversation, I could tell Bill was confident in his expertise and genuinely committed to bringing my wedding hair vision to life. He took the time to learn about my hair type and goals, and recommended clip-in extensions to achieve the look I wanted. We scheduled a trial right away, and Bill came prepared with the extensions in hand. By the time I left that appointment, I knew without a doubt that Bill was the perfect choice for my big day. In the months leading up to the wedding, Bill was incredibly responsive and even took it upon himself to communicate directly with members of my wedding party—taking one more thing off my plate. On the wedding day, Bill and his assistant arrived promptly, radiating positive energy. They worked efficiently while making sure each person in my bridal party was completely happy with their hair. My own style was everything I had dreamed of, and it lasted beautifully throughout the entire day and night. I could not have been happier with Bill’s work and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who combines skill, creativity, and a true passion for making their clients feel their absolute best.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank The Stately Rose enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day! From the very beginning, they were such a pleasure to work with. I felt very outside my comfort zone in knowing what kind of look I wanted and they were so helpful in narrowing down the style I liked and helped me in deciding between traditional or airbrush makeup. While I was nervous going into it, they consistently put me at ease. On the big day, they did an absolutely stunning job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Janelle is truly the best at updos and I got so many compliments throughout the day on the glam look Lexus gave me. I felt so beautiful, and I know the other women did too! We didn’t have a lot of space to work with, but they handled it like pros, adapting to our surroundings without skipping a beat. Their professionalism and positive attitude really helped set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much, The Stately Rose, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and dependable team for their wedding.

I am a huge advocate for self-care and I always make sure that I keep Monique booked on my calendar. I never book a photoshoot without making sure she has an available makeup appointment first lol. She is apart of my glam team for all of my business events. Always showing up on time with a smile and loving spirit. Monique is definitely the most loving, sweetest, and professional person I have worked with. She made sure that she prepared me for my wedding day, by encouraging skin care regiments, routine facials , and of course being my makeup artist on my special day.

I’m a professional makeup artist with 7 years of experience, specializing in bridal glam and waxing.

With a very diverse clientele, I’m skilled in working with all skin tones and bringing each person’s natural beauty to life. My suite is located in Wallingford, CT, and I also travel for weddings and special occasions.

I stressed over a lot of decisions I had to make for my wedding but hiring Wilda was certainly not one of them. she was so sweet and professional which really made the "prep" part of the day memorable and enjoyable. Wilda is truly talented, but maybe more importantly, she listens to what you want and is able to make it happen. I love the transformative power of makeup, but for my wedding, I didn't want to transform, I wanted to look like myself only better. Thanks to Wilda, I really felt flawless on my big day and not just made-up. I could recommend Wilda wholeheartedly (and did!). She is a true professional – punctual, organized, experienced – as well as an amazing artist.

It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!
