Working with Carolyn for my wedding hair and makeup needs was a great experience. She was kind and helpful from our first interaction and I really loved how I looked on my wedding day. She was responsive and adaptable when I asked for tweaks or changes - and the final look was so beautiful. My wedding party also really liked their hair and makeup, and we stayed on schedule all day!

Carolyn was an absolute gem to work with. From the day of the trial, I knew she understood our journey as a couple and wedding vision. She has a way with people that cannot be put into words--authentic, sincere and genuine in her presence. On the wedding day, we had family and friends in and out of the bridal suite, celebrating, talking, relaxing---they excitedly wanted to be a part of everything. Carolyn took it all in with stride, remaining calm and relaxed, focused on her work yet also so kind with family/friends. I am sure the rest of her team is the same as I would trust anyone that Carolyn hires to represent her business.

I'm a wedding planner, and Caroline and her team recently provided hair and makeup services for one of my brides and her wedding party. The women all looked lovely, and their look lasted all day. Carolyn was easy to contact prior to the wedding and very open to input, while also providing her own expert advice. She and Courtney arrived on time and ready to go on the wedding day, and there were no getting ready delays at all. I loved working with them, and I look forward to our next wedding together.

I cannot rate the Modern Bridal Studio team higher! Carolyn and her team made my bridesmaids and I look terrific on my big day. We all had different skin tones and hair types and they were able to work with each of us to create a unique look that matched our personality and preferences. We felt listened to and that all of our unique types of beauty were appreciated. In addition, Carolyn was such a calm presence on my big day. Knowing that the team was making us look fabulous allowed me to kick back and enjoy the process.
