I adore Nicole! I'm an indecisive bride and can't seem to know how i really want to look like, but Nicole is extremely patient with me, very sweet and very pleasant to work with. Very reliable from the start, from the hair/makeup trial, to changing the hairstyle that I want, and still made me look my most beautiful despite changing minds with the hairstyle that I ended up wanting. She's also very organized, giving me and the bridesmaids prep to-do things, and little goody bags so we look fresh throughout the day. Her team was awesome as well, very sweet and lovely, all my bridesmaids and my family looked stunning! And as a bride, can't rave enough at how I feel so confident and beautiful that day. Thank you, Nicole!! You're the best!

RIE Makeup & Hair 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Stony Brook, 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!

SDR Weddings & Events was a LIFESAVER for my wedding day!! I had a backyard wedding and I was worried that my guests would still have an amazing time. Hiring them was the best decision I made because not only was the dance floor (our deck, lol) full of all my guests having an amazing time, but the photos are AWESOME and all of my guests raved about how much fun they had. People literally said it was the best wedding they ever went to. I couldn't be happier. They were so amazing in the process of planning too, giving me advice on the best times to do certain formalities at the reception. Being a wedding photographer myself, I see a lot of DJs, but no one compares to these guys in my opinion. I recommend them to all of my clients. I can't wait to have a vow renewal so I have the opportunity to hire them again!!

Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ana & Jimmy were in a different league from the moment we met them. On our first Zoom, they listened to everything I said about our taste and our vibe… and then gently told me that our beloved saxophonist idea didn’t match anything we had described. They recommended a guitarist instead— and thank goodness, because they were absolutely right. Their planning process was incredibly thoughtful.. and for me, hilarious. Their music surgery? Thorough and genius, and apparently visible to them before you hit submit. Which meant they saw me type things like “Haed pass,” “No thank you,” and “What even is that??” Live. Thankfully, they have incredible senses of humor. They checked in multiple times, did a full site visit, and showed up with a sound team who stayed all night to make sure everything was flawless. They even coordinated our private outdoor first dance with our violinist while sending the music inside to guests — seamlessly. But the reception is where they catapulted into untouchable territory. They don’t just sing and DJ… they perform. Including: * the full, committed N’SYNC “Bye Bye Bye” choreography * A Blink - 182 elder millennial scream-along that transported us back to 2003 * Coming onto the dance floor to hype everyone * Interacting with guests like they’ve known us forever. I don’t dance— and I was on that dance floor all night. Our guests are still texting us about how unreal the band was and we’ve heard “best wedding I’ve ever been to” on multiple occasions. My only genuine disappointment is that the wedding is over and I don’t get to hang out with Ana and Jimmy anymore. Hire AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID. Thank me later

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!
