I loved working with Laura throughout the entire process of wedding planning and she was an absolute asset on my wedding day. From the very beginning when I contacted her, Laura was always very responsive, friendly and up-front. While she is in very high demand, she goes out of her way to accommodate her brides; when I first inquired about booking her for my wedding she said she would tentatively mark me down in her calendar and would give me first priority and contact me to let me know if anyone else contacted her about booking on my date, and all without a deposit! This is just one of many examples of how she always exceeds expectations and maintains a kind, courteous, and professional nature.

For my makeup trial, Laura when out of her way to accommodate my very busy work schedule and then set aside her whole Saturday afternoon to meet with me. First we spent some time looking through pictures, discussing how I envisioned my wedding, what kind of look I wanted to achieve, and what makeup hues would best suit me. Also, Laura requests that you come wearing your normal everyday makeup so that she can get a sense of what your style is and how comfortable you feel wearing makeup. Then there was a little mini-facial, and she started layering makeup for my look. Also, if at any point you want to change something, a different eye or lip color for example, it’s totally not a problem. All Laura wants is for you to be happy with your look and excited for your wedding day. What is remarkable about Laura compared to other vendors I met with is that nothing was ever rushed and how comfortable and at ease she made me upon meeting her for the first time. With such a wonderful trial, I knew I was going to have a great wedding day.

Several weeks prior to my wedding Laura got in contact with me to confirm all of the necessary details for the hotel and my schedule. The day of she arrived early with a wonderful demeanor—she was so positive and had a great sense of humor which really put me at ease and counteracted all of my pre-ceremony jitters. Laura spent a lot of time perfecting my makeup, cleaned up my brows, covered a scar, and made me laugh throughout. One of my bridesmaids has particularly sensitive skin, and Laura’s gentle touch and high quality products left her face unirritated and glowing. She finished everyone’s makeup in plenty of time for the ceremony with no rushing or stress. Not only did my makeup stay on and look fresh through the morning wedding and hours of dancing, it lasted through an outfit change and a night out on the town in NYC. She also provided me with a lip liner and lip gloss so I could retouch if my lips ever felt parched.

Laura Nadeau was a skilled, fun and overall fantastic person to work with throughout my entire wedding process from start to finish and I would highly recommend her to any bride who wants to feel her most beautiful on her wedding day. She will be an absolute asset to help you plan and to bring out your best as you get ready on your wedding. Don’t miss the chance to work with her!
