“I loved working with Ashley and her team at Alessaro Beauty for our September 2021 wedding. Our wedding was affected by COVID-19 and we ended up shifting our date to over a year out. Ashley was extremely accommodating and worked with us to update the contract to our new date without hassle. I met with Ashley and her hair stylist, Zuleika, for a trial a month or so before the wedding. It was a great opportunity to meet in person, talk about the wedding vision, and get to know them better to ultimately feel more comfortable on the day. I was initially drawn to Ashley because she not only does weddings, but also high fashion, film & TV, and other events in NYC, which was important to me for a chic look. She has such extensive product knowledge + expertise, and as a makeup/skincare lover myself, I really enjoyed talking through all the products she was using. The makeup trial wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, so we discussed alternatives and shared reference photos via email to nail down the final look. To start, Ashley did my and my sister’s makeup for the rehearsal dinner, which was stunning and got us excited to kick off the weekend. On the day of the wedding, Ashley and her team arrived on time and were a joy to have getting ready in the bridal suite. They did hair and makeup for not only myself and 6 bridesmaids, but also my mother, MIL, and SIL, so it was a tall order and they absolutely nailed it. I was OBSESSED with my final bridal look - I loved the false eyelashes and the gorgeous Mac lipstick (which Ashley gifted so I could reapply throughout the day). I truly felt like a show-stopping bride and the absolute best version of myself. We arranged for Ashley to stay throughout the first look, ceremony, and the start of the reception to do a few touch ups, which honestly was the best decision to keep me looking gorg all day and night. At the end of the experience, Ashley proved to be more like a friend than a vendor. She is so kind, enthusiastic, and truly has a passion for what she does, which shines through every interaction. I highly recommend Ashley and her team at Alessaro Beauty for your wedding or event.”
