Beauty and Soul Artistry 

5.0

Oakdale, NY
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $250

Creativity is where I thrive and feel most like myself, and the beauty industry has given me the perfect canvas to express it. After leaving a corporate career of nearly 10 years, I followed my passion and began as a head makeup artist and bridal consultant, which opened the door to incredible opportunities. From NYFW to campaigns with e.l.f. Cosmetics, mastering lash artistry, and working on fashion shoots across NYC, I’ve gained experience that fuels my artistry every day. Since 2020, I’ve proudly built and run my own beauty company, helping clients feel confident, radiant, and unstoppable.

I can't recommend Alexa enough! She was my makeup artist for my wedding, and her talent truly made my day unforgettable. Not only does she excel in makeup artistry, but she also captures beautiful moments as a photographer for several special occasions in my life. Her versatility as a jack of all trades is impressive. What stands out the most is her professionalism. Alexa is incredibly skilled at her craft, but it's her warm and welcoming demeanor that makes the experience so enjoyable. She goes above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable and beautiful, whether it's applying makeup or snapping stunning photos. Her kindness shines through in everything she does, making every session feel personal and special. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about her clients, Alexa is the one to go to!

We got married 1/5/25 but had been working with Miriam for probably a year and a half before our big day. She was always so personable with us a treated us like family. Words cannot describe the love and care we felt from Jake, our maître D and Samantha, our bridal attendant, on our wedding day. We were cared for tediously and effortlessly. We felt like at ease, happy and totally relaxed. I needed Samantha and didn’t even know it, I am forever indebted to her - she could not have been more attentive and wonderful. Comforting me, assuring me, getting me where I need to be and when. So friendly, kind and amazing. Thank god for Jake. He is so special and we’re so lucky we got him as our maître D. He deems himself as a “yes man” and he is not lying. Anything you could have ever wanted from him, he’d deliver. We wanted for nothing, had wonderful direction from him all night and he took care of EVERYTHING!  The night was flawless, amazing, perfect and all we could have ever hoped for. The staff at Bourne is unmatched, we made the right choice with this venue. Guests will be in awe of the venue and talk about the food for years to come. I wish I could do it all again. Thank you Bourne mansion & staff for the best night of our lives! I don’t have all my pics back yet!

Nicole is a magician & a saint! I did nothing but ugly-cry happy tears for eight hours straight at my wedding, and when I got back to the hotel, my makeup still looked flawless. My hair held curls for maybe the first time ever, and I’m convinced Nicole has access to hair & makeup superpowers that no one else does. She is calm, kind, and fun—exactly who you want to be around the morning of your wedding! And she did a great job with my aunt & mom’s hair and makeup as well, with very little direction. Our trial was a breeze and made me so confident in my choice, and Nicole went above & beyond to recommend skincare products & hairstylists for me between our trial and the wedding. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about my experience with Palla Beauty. Thank you, Nicole!!

RIE Makeup & Hair

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Oakdale, NY

Rie is a NYC/Long Island based makeup artist/hair stylist for Beauty, Fashion, Portrait Photography, and Weddings. ​ All the makeup products in Rie's kit are cruelty free. Rie's style is "Natural" and "Feel like yourself but better" makeup look!

Awarded Best of Zola
Rie was a lifesaver! I had initially reached out to a different vendor in September of 2024 and we had an ongoing conversation while I considered pricing through November. We had a verbal agreement to work together but before she sent me her contract she ghosted me. I thought it was because the holidays were coming up and we all get busy at the end of the year. But mid-January come along, I had not heard back, and I was a little over two months away from my wedding! I reached out to a ton of makeup artists, and Rie was among the first to respond. She was so understanding from the get-go and her kindness paired with her makeup style was what sold me! Immediately, I knew she was who I wanted to work for. Rie provided makeup services for me and five of my six bridesmaids by herself. She was even able to work with me to find time to do a makeup trial despite both our busy schedules (getting married in the off season I'm sure helped). She worked so efficiently and even finished before our scheduled time, and provided us all with little touch up kits. I tend to not wear too much makeup and the same goes for most of my bridesmaids, and Rie was able to take her "natural makeup" style and personalize it to everyone. I only wear makeup on special occasions, and when I do, I tend to be hyper aware of my face and the makeup on it. But Rie's application was so good, that I did not think about the makeup on my face once throughout the ten hour day. The natural makeup style might not be for everyone, the same way full glam is not for me, but if you lean that way, I highly recommend working with Rie!

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have had Jess and Jackie on my wedding day!!! Our day wouldn't have nearly gone as smoothly without them. They truly embraced the day and put all their energy into knowing inside and out our timeline, every detail, our vendors and our bridal party. I (the bride) was able to go about my entire day without having to worry about a single thing because they were taking the lead and handling it all. With a big bridal party and family, they ensured our most important people were where they needed to be and that we got all the photo shots that I had specified on my extensive list. All my expectations for the day that I had talked with them the months prior to our wedding were met and exceeded. There were only a few small bumps to the day and they immediately diffused the situation and quickly resolved it, all while being so kind and professional. These two allowed me to be completely present on my day and blocked out all the noise for me and I can't thank them enough for that. I will forever be grateful for Jess and Jackie and I highly recommend you book them ASAP!!!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We hired AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID for our wedding and they were one of the best decisions we made. From the start, they were so easy to communicate with, incredibly professional, and genuinely attentive to our family’s needs. They even added last-minute band members with total ease, no stress, just smooth execution. We wanted a big party vibe, and that is exactly what we got. The vocals were phenomenal, the musicianship was outstanding, and the energy they brought was unreal. The perfect blend of music kept the dance floor packed all night, and the band read the room effortlessly. They were also so open to our personal touches, like my dream of having a big group sing-along, and they embraced it with enthusiasm. At the end of the night, they were even flexible and kind enough to stay for one last song, making the finale feel absolutely magical. One of our favorite parts was how interactive the performers were. The saxophonist, trumpet player, and lead singers came out onto the dance floor, mingled with guests, and encouraged everyone to get up and celebrate. It made the whole night feel electric and personal. A special highlight was how graciously they welcomed a performance from one of our wedding guests, seamlessly bringing them into the band and turning it into a moment we’ll never forget. If you want a team that is exceptionally talented, energetic, flexible, and dedicated to creating an unforgettable celebration, AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is the ONLY choice. We cannot recommend them enough!

Ashley Film Studios did an outstanding job capturing our special day. From start to finish, their communication was fun, friendly, creative, and incredibly supportive. The quality of their work is amazing—both professional and heartwarming. We even showed our dance teacher and he was in tears. They made my husband and me feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the final video is a beautiful keepsake that we'll cherish forever. Watching it brought us to tears; it perfectly captures the essence of our day. We wholeheartedly recommend Ashley Film Studios to any couple looking for a videographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding truly unforgettable. Just book them now!

We started to follow SLK Visuals works on Instagram over a year ago, we were stunned by the photos and clips that he posted on his page. We decided to hire him right away. Shawn was very professional, very informative, he listened to what we have to say and want and he followed our vision to a tee. From the get go, Shawn scheduled appointments to introduce himself and who would be working with him; he showed us his work; he is very knowledgeable about his craft. He made us feel very comfortable and we were at ease with nothing to worry on our wedding day. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, the pictures were spectacular; we had filmed a short video that introduced our love story , that was also amazing, and even though it was raining that day this video reflects Shawn's creativity, he really captured us, our goofiness, our happiness and all. This experience was actually really wonderful and intimate, and I actually felt closer and more connected to my hubby than before. And when it comes to the wedding pictures, Shawn and the videographer were punctual and ready day of the wedding; all the photos come out amazingly beautiful, my video is clear and focused. Our wedding was this last October and 2 days later he sent us a teaser and by the end of November we had received the complete gallery. And also, I would like to mention that SLK Visuals is very affordable, compared to other vendors; Shawn works with your budget and gives you what you ask for. I am 1000% satisfied, I will definitely use him again and would Highly recommend his services.

I am so happy I booked Genie Artistry for my wedding-day makeup. Jeanine and her assistant MUA could not have been sweeter, and they made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and grandma look SO beautiful on my big day. Jeanine is very communicative, and you can see she wants to make you feel your absolute best in the makeup - on the day of my makeup trial, she asked questions about what makeup I usually feel best in, and what I was envisioning for my wedding makeup. After she did the first makeup look, she asked if there was anything I wanted to change, and was so open to suggestions. I felt like a goddess on my big day! She even covered up some bruises on my and my sister's arms on the day of so they wouldn't show up in pictures. I would recommend her to any bride-to-be!!
