Elite Pro DJ did a fantastic job! The owner, John is a pleasure to work with. He is so responsive and informative that you know you are in good hands. The DJ's themselves are really friendly and will do anything in their power to accommodate your requests.

I cannot stop singing the praises of Ann, the owner of Thorn Studio. I am so pleased with her services. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and did such a wonderful job. She will work with any budget and give you the absolute best!

I had a trial with Jennifer, the owner who is also the hair and make up artist. I thought my trial went ok, then I looked at the pictures I took from the trial the next day. When I zoomed in to view the quality of work is when I noticed what a bad job Jennifer did on my eyes. What is beyond me is, I am her number seven picture that she posted on this site to show off her work. She also has the same picture of me on her own website with the caption 'trial make up.' Please look at the poor job that is done on my eye shadow. The blending is horrible, you can see areas that are not covered at all, it looks so sloppy! The shadow done on one eye does not even resemble the other eye. On my darker skin you can certainly see what a bad job was done but apparently she thinks her work is great and even posted the bad work on her website thinking it looks good. Once you see the picture for yourself, you will know exactly why I am giving 1 star. If I could, I would give less than that. It will be interesting to see how long she keeps my picture up.

After reviewing my pictures from the trial, I sent Jennifer a long email including about 10 pictures of how I would like my eyes to look and requested she be more precise on the day of the wedding. I completely blame myself for choosing Breath Taking Bride to do my wedding make up and hair along with the hair and make up of my bridesmaids. It was against my better judgement but I found Jennifer to be very sweet and I made the decision to choose her as I live out of state and did not have the time to make another trip down to St. Louis to have more hair and make up trials done.

On the day of my wedding, Jennifer brought an assistant which seemed to do a better job than herself. All three of my bridesmaids left the suite individually and re-did their own make up as they were completely disgusted in what was done to them. None of them told me (the bride) as they did not want to stress or worry me on my wedding day. They each paid Jennifer for her services and let her be on her way. Only weeks later did they tell me they all redid their own make up.

As for my own make up, I was feeling ok about it especially after looking at the girls and thinking she did theirs as well. I had very little time to really even look at myself and now I feel this is one of the biggest mistakes I could have made on my wedding day. I ran to the bathroom a couple times and asked her to cover a small ball of glue that was visible from the faux lashes she put on me. She claims this was not the case as the glue dries clear but when it is a small ball of glue and not a thin line, it shows up as is very much so visible (this is just one of my many complaints I expressed to her in an email after the wedding). As her assistant was working on my hair, Jennifer came and stood to my right side and she herself noticed that there was a smudge or something that she had made on the right side of my face. She proceeded to tell me she must have had glue on her hand and worked at fixing the smudge that was on the right side of my face. I was reassured that she fixed it. I did not even have time to do a second look after it was "fixed" as the photographer was about to arrive and my hair wasn't even done. My hair needed to be redone about three times and it still did not resemble what I wanted. At one point, Jennifer took over to finish my hair and again, it did not resemble what I wanted or even what she had done herself at our trial.

Once I started being tagged in pictures from friends on facebook and even our professional photographer is when I noticed two very big make up mistakes on my FACE. It looks as though some concealer under my left eye was not blended at all as there is a small blob that is lighter than the rest of my face along with the dark smudge on the right side of my face in EVERY single picture. I now need to have all of my professional pictures re-touched up thanks to Breath Taking Bride. Once I voiced my unhappiness to Jennifer in an email she claims this was not her doing and continued to be extremely rude and nasty. I can't believe a professional make up artist would do such a horrible job and then try to say to the bride, that she must have done it herself to sabotage her own wedding pictures. She also asked why I am bringing it up weeks later. If I had known that there were make up mistakes on my FACE, would I not try to fix them on the day of MY wedding?? Obviously, I did not know that she did such a horrible job until I started seeing the pictures. I would have never in a million years thought this would be the outcome of using this service. To try to make this extremely long review a little shorter, AVOID USING BREATH TAKING BRIDE AT ALL COSTS or you too will be paying your photographer to fix her mistakes if that is even possible. Oh, and, the curls in my hair did not even make it to the end of my wedding service. Going forward, I will give any future bride the advise of finding a great hair and make up artist as it is one thing you should splurge on in addition to a great photographer as you will have the pictures forever.

9/22/11 -- Just noticed the response by vendor and I have to say this is the first time I am seeing any request by her to see any pictures. In fact, I sent her a picture and after receiving it is when Jennifer said it was not her doing. I have plenty of un-edited pictures to provide but now being months later... whats the point, the damage has already been done. Also, after a couple email exchanges, Jennifer being the super professional, said she will be blocking all of my emails so I did the same to her. Guess your request to view the pictures were blocked.
