Art Occasions

Rachanee and her team were awesome. She's so accommodating and such a sweetheart. She knows how to make you look and feel beautiful. I had so many comments that my makeup was amazing, that my natural features were beautifully enhanced. Despite some miscommunication with the wedding coordinator on my big day, she still remained a sweetheart and calmed my nerves when I was starting to feel the bridezilla in me come out when things were going as planned. She was one of the highlights of my wedding and I could not be happier. She's just perfect. I'm so happy I found her.My bridesmaids makeup and hair were done by her team, Nancy and Dzime, who were awesome too. The girls looked so beautiful and glamorous. I was just amazed at how wonderful and perfect everything turned out. Just really happy overall.

Rachanee is very friendly person and very helpful. I chose to have different style of make-up on the wedding day. She listened to every little requests that I had and gave me the look that I wanted. She is amazing artist!

Rachanee is a consumate professional, and made what can be a stressful day (getting married) for many very comfortable and relaxing. My photographer commented that my make up was flawless.Rachanee worked with me on the type of look I wanted to achieve and she delivered and exceeded my expectations.I would certainly use Rachanee again in the future for special occassions.Very pleased with the outcome.

Rachanee at Art Occassions is the sweetest vendor you will ever meet. She is extremely flexible, a great value, and VERY talented. I first did a make up and hair trial. Definitely do the trial if you want to decide on your perfect look. Rachanee did my hair and makeup in several ways, took photos for me, and then I was able to decide which I liked the best. All the looks were natural and beautiful - it was difficult to choose!On the wedding day, Rachanee came with one assistant. They were able to do hair for 5 bridesmaids, hair and makeup for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, and hair and makeup for the bride. We actually were ready earlier than planned, so we girls were able to relax and drink champagne before the wedding. Everyone was extremely happy with their hair and makeup. One of my bridesmaids (who had recently gotten married) commented that she wished Rachanee had been there to do bridal hair at her wedding because she liked her hair so much better.If that's not good enough, at the end of the whole, long, wedding night, with lots of dancing, all of our hair and makeup still looked fresh and perfect. My wedding coordinator couldn't believe how great everyone looked. We didn't need a touch up all night (besides some lip gloss after dinner).Thank you to Rachanee. I highly recommend her to all brides!

Rachanee made my wedding day experience wonderful. I had been going to her for my pre-wedding trials for hair/make-up. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about my needs for my day. On the actual day of, she knew that with so many women to work on (6 bridesmaids and 1 mother-in-law) that she would need back-up. There were two other assistants to help with hair and make-up. My bridesmaids looked gorgeous and the experience was fun. My mother saw how beautiful the women looked and ended up getting her make-up done as well! My make-up felt light on my skin and was "just right" on the color. My hair had gone through some changes from curls to a twist on the day of. The style was simple, yet modern and elegant at the same time. It ended up feeling like me and not like other styles I always saw at weddings/magazines. Rachanee worked hard to work with our schedule in time/location. It was an experience that every woman getting married should have.

Rachanee did a great job on hair and make up for my wedding. It stayed beautiful until the night ended. I would definitely recommend her and book her again for the next special occasion.

Rachanee did my bridal hair and makeup and she did a fantastic job! My makeup looked beautiful and felt very natural. I was worried that I would need some touch-ups, but even after a 12 hour day, no touch-ups necessary! My hair was pinned up in long curls, and the curls stayed in place all day, despite it being a very windy day. At the end of the night, my hair was still neat and tidy. Looking back at photos, I am extremely happy with the end result. I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and it was all thanks to Rachanee. Not only is she talented, she is also a pleasure to work with. She is very professional, patient, and pays attention to your inputs. I highly recommend Rachanee to anyone!

I just had my wedding and I was very happy with working with her all the time.She does listen to you and respect your style.My first trial went OK, but I was not really happy about the bumps on my cheek from rubbing air blush. So I told her which I don't like about and I asked her to do the air blush different way on my wedding day. Then she offered me a second trial just for foundation. It was better than first time, but my all facial hair caught the air blush. She suggested me a threading. So I did, it was amazing how things worked out.Also I got so many compliments about my wedding hair. Everyone liked it and of course I loved it too.Rachanee is very easy to work with and very quick response too!

Rachanee has done a great job for designing my wedding hairstyle as well as makeup. I am so glad that I have chosen her. She was very professional and focused. She pays attention to details. I have received so many nice compliments about my hair-dos and make up that day. I definitely recommend her!

My wedding coordinator recommended Rachanee to me when I was looking for a hair/make up artist. I went in for my trial and shared with her my vision of what I wanted to look like for my wedding day. Rachanee totally understood my ideas and spent a good deal of time on my hair/makeup during the trial.

On the day of my wedding, she brought an assistant to help with my BM’s hair and make up. They both worked very hard and got everyone done in a timely manner. Throughout the day, everyone complimented me on how elegant I looked. Also, my hair was in place for the whole day. There was not a single strand of hair out of place!

Rachanee is not only a skilled artist, she is a warm and kind person. On the day of, you want to surround yourself with people who will keep you calm and positive – Rachanee did just that for me. She’s extremely professional and personal. You will not be disappointed.

Rachanee was wonderful to work with - I would highly recommend her! I chose her to work on my hair and make-up for my wedding in June 2009. I actually ended up doing a few trials with her because I was indecisive on hair styles. She was very patient with me and very accommodating to my schedule and requests. On the day of the wedding, her work was even better than the trial and she spent a lot of time making sure that I liked the makeup and hair. My husband felt it looked very natural and loved it, which was a great compliment since he generally likes me without any makeup at all. I received a lot of compliments and never felt better!I also asked her to do my bridesmaids' hair. She brought an assistant with her the day of because I had 6 bridesmaids. I was a bit anxious about her assistant because I had never met her prior or seen her work. However, they both did a wonderful job and my bridesmaids' hair looked amazing! In fact, my cousin has hair that never keeps their curls, but somehow Rachanee and her assistant made it so that her curls actually stayed the whole night! I was truly amazed! :)

I absolutely loved Rachanee’s work on my hair and make-up (bridesmaid) and my best friend’s hair (bride) and make-up for my friend’s wedding. Rachanee is patient and sweet and genuinely listens to what you want to look like. It was so nice to have a hair and make-up artist that was friendly and calm on the big day. She was able to perfectly recreate a hairstyle I picked out from a magazine and she adjusted the bride’s hair until it was EXACTLY what she wanted. Our makeup looked natural and not overdone. She did a great job managing time and getting both of us ready to go with hair and make-up done just in time to take pre-wedding pictures. I highly recommend Rachanee to anyone, particularly brides and bridal parties. Having Rachanee around will add to your day and you will look completely beautiful! Thanks Rachanee!!

I had to plan my bay area wedding from Los Angeles so had to select out of town vendors purely from recommendations on the web! It was a little nerve wracking, but it turned out so well! Rachanee met with me in my hotel room just 2 days before the wedding for my trial run (only time that worked for me!). I gave her pretty vague instructions--pretty, natural-medium makeup that covers/lasts all day and a soft up-do hairstyle. She showed me some pictures from her books/magazines to find things I liked and then ran with it! It turned out so great! On the day of the wedding she met in my hotel room and got me and my maid of honor ready in plenty of time...she really did a fantastic job on both of us. We got so many compliments and felt great all night. We didn't have to touch up our makeup once! I highly recommend Rachanee and Art Occasions for their wonderful work!

I'm so glad I chose Rachanee to do my wedding hair and makeup after doing a lot of research on wedding websites. Rachanee is personable and amazing to work with. She is flexible and patient in listening to my ever changing requests on how I wanted my hair and makeup done, and gave me excellent suggestions that helped me make a final decision on the wedding day. I got so many compliments that day and most importantly, my husband LOVED my makeup and hair. He loved that the makeup didn't overpower my face, but that it enhanced my features beautifully. Thank you Rachanee for making me a beautiful bride!

I highly recommend Rachanee Redick from Art Occasions to anyone!! Rachanee did my makeup/hair for my wedding day (including the wedding party) and made me look and feel beautiful!! She was very professional and responsive to all of our needs. My makeup&hair lasted the entire day with no problem. Rachanee did an exceptional job and I would use her again!! Thanks Rachanee.

Ratchanee is a great hair and make up artist! She listens to you and gives you some choices suiting your styles. She will make sure that you walk out the door with your beautiful smile. I usually have a hard time finding a perfect style that goes with my round face, but she helps me with her experience and wouldn't stop trying different style until you are happy. I love the way she looks after every single things through my hair and make up. I would say, let's try her! she's perfect!

I was lucky to find Rachanee for my wedding day hair and makeup stylist.
I completely understand how stressful it is to find a good hair and makeup stylist. My suggestions is that you should find one with great personality and professional skills. Rachanee's patience, willing to communicate, and her skills helped me a lot on my wedding day.

I had a unsuccessful trial at another place, so I became very cautious. When I went to Rachanee's studio for the trial, I found her very professional and patient. The most important thing is, if you are not sure about what you want, her professional suggestions will guide you to think about what you want, then you'll see your dream come true.

On my wedding day, she handled the stress really well. I had to change my hair style and makeup twice. While guests are waiting, It's not a good idea to hold them there. Rachanee finished the touch-ups efficiently and did them extremely well.

Rachanee with Art Occasions did my wedding makeup this past December. I found Art Occasions online and completed a consultation because the reviews for Rachanee were wonderful. I was very lucky to have found her. Here are a few things I like about Rachanee;

1) She is very sweet
2) She listens to your requests
3) She creates your makeup look based on your needs and wants
4) She has a very calming presence (which is important on your wedding day)
5) She is very easy to work with
6) She is professional
7) You can trust her because she follows through
8) The end result is wonderful and long lasting

In addition, I met with Rachanee for a consultation and we tried one type of foundation which I found to be a little heavy on my skin because I have oily skin. Rachanee had no problem scheduling me for a second consultation to try another type of foundation which worked a lot better on my skin. Rachanee also provided me with a clean up hair cut several weeks before the wedding which was very helpful because it saved me the trouble of going somewhere else just to have a trim. It was also helpful for me to have her cut my hair because she was also doing my hair for my wedding and she knew how much hair she needed to work with to provide me with my wedding hair style.

Rachanee also provided hair and makeup to some of my bridesmaids and they were all very happy with the results.

If you're searching for a makeup/hair stylist I highly recommend Rachanee at Art Occasions.

I'm very very particular about how I wanted my hair and makeup to be done for my wedding...thankfully I found Rachanee (owner of Art Occasions).

She is an extremely professional and unbelievably talented stylist. She LISTENED to what I wanted in terms of the styling of the hair, and was very patient about how precise I wanted my make-up done. She's also a very warm and comfortable person, so I wasn't shy at all (and she insisted I shouldn't be shy) about making sure that she was able to achieve the style I wanted.

During the wedding reception, I couldn't believe that through all the dancing, and sweating, and drinking, my make up and hair stayed in tact! Not just in tact, but still completely fabulouse! The pictures looked amazing! I really am very lucky that I found Rachanee, and I would (and have) recommend her to all my friends and family for their weddings our other special occasions.:)

Rachanee Reddick of Art Occasions was the consummate professional and a true artist in terms of make-up application. The one characteristic I like the most about her work is that she listens to you. In the end, the bride knows her own face the best. She then turns your preferences into a beautiful face. She also offers air brushing, which lasted the whole day of the wedding without any major touch ups. My sister and my mother just adored her work. Although Rachanee never consulted with each of them until the big day, she was able to provide impeccable make up. Everyone looked natural. No one had a caked on face. I found Rachanee through a friend's recommendation and I now highly recommend her to any bride to be.

I am one of those girls who hates make-up and wanted to go as simple as possible but still look great on the big day. Rachanee worked with me to give me that look which I had no idea was even possible. She was patient, professional and really listend to what I had to say. On the day itself, she was one of the few people to keep me calm, made me comfortable and kept me smiling. She was fabulous which meant I looked fabulous at the end! I highly recommend her services.

I feel very fortunate that Rachanee was part of my very special wedding day! She was professional and calm while chaos and emotions were flying around. She was easy to work with and made sure the desired look was achieved. She handled not only me but five bride maids also! All services were very professional and everybody turn out beautiful. We all are grateful and love her for what she did. I can’t imagine ever getting better service and results than what Rachanee provided for me on my very special day! I would recommend her to all!

Upon Rachanee! I was able to set up a trial run with her, and I loved the way my hair and makeup came out the frist time out! The only thing we had to modify was my lipstick color. Rachanee was very, very professional and friendly, and she was a pleasure to work with. I brought her a picture of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like on our trial run, and she was able to make me look similar to the picture, but it still looked like me and she used the makeup to complement my personal look.

On the day of my wedding she arrived on time to my hotel room and , with her assistant, did hair and makeup for myself, my mom, and 4 bridesmaids! Everyone looked gorgeous! The hotel room I had was unfortunately on the smaller side, but Rachanee (and her assistant) did not let it interfere with their work. She had a very caliming effect on everyone and actually all of my bridesmaids commented on how relaxed they felt when they were getting their hair and makeup done. My hair style was a little bit different (in the trail run my hair was down, and for the wedding she pinned half up and half down) than what we discussed during my trial run, but it looked so amazing and I loved it! And I probably would not have thought to wear it that way. Even when we were runing on the late side, (Rachanee and I had a miscommunication about times) she still finished in time! after the wedding ceremony I received so many complements on how great I looked and better yet my new husband said I looked gorgeous! My mom and bridesmaids also recevied a ton of complements!

She's a wonderful makeup and hair stylist and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! She is very flexible and understanding, and is willing ot work with your budget. I will definitely be contacting her for future special events that could use a Rachanee Art Occasions hair and makeup makeover!

Thank you Rachanee, you hepled to make me feel like a Queen on my wedding day!

I am an EXTREMELY picky person and went through three trial runs with other people before I found Rachanee. I even debated doing my own makeup because I was so unhappy with the people that I had found. Rachanee immediately impressed me. She was so good with BOTH hair and makeup, where all of the other people I had met were only good at one or the other. I showed her a picture of the hair style that I wanted and she created it immediately and it was exactly the same as the picture I was very impressed! She also did my makeup perfectly and it looked great allllllll night! Everyone at my wedding thought my hair and makeup looked beautiful and thanks to Rachanee, I got the look that I wanted. She arrived on time at 8am to do 5 people's hair and makeup and was also done promptly. She even stayed a lot longer than we expected because our photographs took awhile, to make sure that I got a touch up before the reception. Take it from me, if you are looking for both beautiful hair and makeup, I strongly urge you to call Rachanee since she is the BEST! I even went to see her for a hair cut after the wedding and she cuts hair great too... Thank you so much Rachanee for making my wedding day beautiful

You'll absolutely look your best when she's done.

I had been looking for hair/makeup artist for my wedding and had a trial run with a gal with less than desired results, to put it mildly. She barely spoke english and did not understand what I wanted for my makeup look. I needed to find someone eles who knew what they were doing!

So, I searched on the Web and luckily, I found Rachanee! After my first experience with that other gal, I was very careful because I didn't want a repeat, so I asked questions and even brought pictures of what I wanted. I shouldn't have worried - Rachanee turned out to be wonderful! She is a very pleasant person and knowledgeable about different makeup looks. We experimented with different styles and she has a very good eye for what makes you look your best. Rachanee was patient and friendly, like having your best friend there who wanted you to look your best on your special day.

Rachanee also did my hair in a beautiful upsweep style so I could wear my headpiece - a birdcage veil headband set with silk flowers and feathers. My hair is straight and different lengths and I was afraid that it would not stay up and sleek for the long day with the headband on it, but it didn't budge and looked fantastic.

I received lots of compliments at the wedding, and now finally getting to look at the wedding pictures, I was very happy. Being an older bride (49), you wouldn't think that looking at the pictures, it was more like mid-30s! Yeah, I'm bragging, but it's a great compliment to Rachanee, thanks, girl! As a matter of fact, my photographer liked it so much, she's using my bridal portrait in her own ads!

Rachanee communicated very well by email and phone to double check things like place and times before the big day. She was even a bit early that day and was fully prepared with all her equipment and ready to go! I HIGHLY recommend her for her services, I wish there were other occasions I could come up with that I could use her again!
