Joanne, I knew the first time we met you were an extraordinary woman. I am so happy we had the privilege to know you. Thanks to Wedding Belle and you my daughter's wedding was perfection. Who knew the right make up and application could make such a huge difference. I did not look like me!, which was a good thing. Thank you is not enough for all you did. I feel like you are family.

Blessings to you and yours. Love,

- Maryanne B.

Dear Joanne,

we got rave reviews on both the hair and make-up! We were so lucky to have you Saturday! I can express how happy we all were with the hair and make-up! I can honestly say I've never been to another wedding with the exception of Jill's and Michelle's where everyone loves their make-up and hair. There is always one person that is unhappy but all the mother, grandmothers, maids and myself felt wonderful and were truly happy with how you and Lena made us look!

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!

- Lindsay, Atlanta, GE

Joanne,

Thank you so much for the makeup lesson you gave to my mother and me. I am so delighted we learned from you. You made us feel at home in your studio and we enjoyed every minute if it, we still talk about the lipstick color you made for me! Your creativity and technical talent is outstanding. My mother applied my makeup (and the rest of the bridesmaids) for the wedding and I have to say I felt beautiful! Thank you again - you have a customer for life!

Best,

- Leah Rastiello

Dear Joanne,

I just received my new makeup in the mail and that reminded me that I've been wanting to write to and tell you what a wonderful experience Leah & I had at our make-up and beauty lesson in preparing for her wedding.

I was very impressed by your knowledge. I had been putting on make-up the same way since I can remember. Having a lesson with you is like going on a Spa vacation!! And a retreat!! And a conference all in one! Spa-because it was very relaxing. Retreat- because I came away feeling a renewed sense of confidence about my changing face. Conference- because I learned so much. ( I still can't believe you made that lipstick for Leah right there)

But that is not even the greatest part of our evening with you. The best was at the end (you might remember this) when Leah gave us both a big hug and exclaimed "out of all we have had to do for this wedding--the flowers, the dresses, the hall, the dj and photographer, this was the most fun I've had!!"
And I thank you for that Joanne.

Best wishes to you! I can't wait until may next 2 get married!!

With Fondest Regards,

- Connie Rastiello

Dear Joanne,

I really wanted to thank you again for making me feel so special and beautiful on my wedding day. My bridesmaids loved you, and I really just enjoyed watching everyone going through the transformation of getting hair and makeup done. Every single girl looked stunning. Overall I could not have been happier. I feel so lucky to have found you and that you were able to be there for my wedding. You know exactly what I wanted when it came to choosing my makeup and look. It was perfect. You are so talented to be able to take one look at someone and know.

I will definitely have to come see you again.
Hopefully a lot of my friends will be tying the knot themselves soon. And of course now I know who I can recommend to do our makeup!

Take care Joanne and I hope to talk soon! Thank you so very much, I can't say it enough!!

Sincerely,

- Katie, Boston MA

Dear Joanne,

Thank you so much for being a part of my wedding. Having you there helped make my day move so smoothly. I knew that my makeup would be perfect, and it was. I also knew that the tears would come, and when they did, you were there to wipe them away and restore my makeup back to perfection.

I love how you made sure each of my bridesmaids and my grandmother stayed true to themselves. You brought out their natural features and gave them that wedding-day-glow. My 90 year old grandmother was so pleased with her makeup. Even though she did not have a makeup trial with you, I was confident in your ability to make her look and feel gorgeous. You did not disappoint me that day; she looked beautiful.

You are a versatile artist who has a gift for creating the perfect makeup palate for your subjects no matter what their age or skin type. It's not only your talent that I feel is important to note, you also have a way of making people feel comfortable and at ease when you are present. I'm so glad that I found you! My makeup was exactly what I wanted and your personality added to the fun of getting ready.

Thank you,

- Marguerite Corvini

Joanne, you were absolutely amazing! You were professional and responsive from the moment I contacted you! I had a very large bridal party and you were able to coordinate flawlessly with the hair dressers and stay on schedule. You were calm and organized and despite all of the stress, you made the process fun and enjoyable. Every bride wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day and I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life! It was also very important that my mom feel comfortable and look great. She never wears make up and was very nervous about getting her makeup done. I have never seen her look more amazing! She looked and felt great and got compliments all night!! As I look through all of my photos I am reminded at how beautiful everyone looked and how amazing I felt. Thank you for everything!!! You are extremely talented! I have already referred you to friends!!!

Dearest Joanne,

I have been meaning to write to you to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job on our makeup for the wedding.

We all got so many compliments, thanks to you. If you ever need a reference, I am your gal.

I can't say enough good things about you. Neither can my mom. I am sure she will be in touch soon to arrange a lesson.

Your makeup withstood laughter, tears, kisses and plenty of dance-induced sweat. I still managed to look good in the photos that were taken at the end of the evening, which was very impressive, especially considering that I never had time to touch it up. I think my sister still has the lipstick you made for me. I'll be demanding it back at Christmas! Lots of love and many thanks.

Dear Joanne,

Thank you so much for doing the makeup for myself, my sisters and the moms at our wedding. We were all so pleased with your work and you were a joy to be with too. Best wishes.

Dear Joanne,

I want to thank you for doing such a great job with my makeup on Sunday. I'm so happy I decided to have my makeup done professionally and by a true professional! Everytime I've had my makeup done at the counter (or wherever) I was always disappointed with the results because I do a better job so I almost didn't call you. I'm glad I did!

I told my sister who is one of the attendants about what a wonderful job you did and she wants you to do hers for the ceremony. I'm pretty sure my other sister will as well and probably one more of the attendants (for a total of three attendants)...

Dear Joanne,

Thanks so much for being such an important part of our day. You did an awesome job with me and the girls. I can really see the difference in the pictures ...

Dear Joanne,

Thank you so much for working with me before, on, and after my wedding day. You were a joy to work with. I just saw some of our professional portraits and my makeup far exceeded my expectations. It was just what i wanted. I looked like a more beautiful, flawless version of myself....

Dear Joanne,

Thank you so much for the outstanding job you did with my wedding makeup. I am still in a bit of disbelief of how beautiful I looked. You listened without complaint to all of my requests and everything turned out perfect.

Dear Joanne,

I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day. I can't thank you enough for making me as beautiful on the outside as I felt on the inside that day. My makeup was perfect! My mother's and all the girl's makeup was perfect! You really helped to calm my nerves and made the morning so much fun! You did so much more for me than just my makeup - you made the morning really special for me. I will recommend you every chance I get.

Dear Joanne,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding day one to remember. Your energy, compassion and calming effect helped us all prepare for what turned out to be a story book wedding. I have been receiving pictures from friends and family and you absolutely nailed it with the makeup. I was so relaxed knowing that I was in your hands that morning.

Dear Joanne,

Thank you for the great job you did for our wedding. The makeup looked amazing and I received so many compliments on it. I am addicted to the makeup you gave me. I use the cream blush everyday long with the lip gloss!

I've been very lucky to have spent the past eight months while planning my wedding with Joanne. Obviously the most important and exciting part of my wedding is that I'm marrying my fiancé, but the second best part has been meeting Joanne and the calming hours I've spend on her unbelievable comfortable facial bed being pampered. I just had my makeup trial and felt so beautiful when she was finished. I feel blessed that she's been such a big part of my wedding and I thank her from the bottom of my heart!

Good Evening Joanne,

I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful make up lesson and the amazing custom products!

I struggled for years to find make up that compliment my skin tone and didn't cause break outs. I would always feel overwhelmed in the makeup isle and often walked out of the store with many products that I ended up just throwing away. After my lesson with you I couldn't wait to get up the next morning and put on my makeup. I feel much more confident about applying my makeup and understanding which colors work well with my complexion any why. I wish I could have had my lesson with you when I was in my teens rather than spending many years being frustrated with all the products I tried.

I can't thank you enough for your time and patience. I can't wait to come back to see you again!

Warm Regards,

Joanne,

I cannot thank you enough for everything on Saturday. From your calming demeanor to your exceptional talent, you made me feel so relaxed during those last few hours of waiting and so beautiful as I walked down the aisle!

You know I am not a "makeup girl" - the way you accentuated my features and polished my "soft, fresh and light" look was perfect. As I am starting to see photos from throughout the day, I just keep on noticing that my makeup was flawless into the midnight hour! I laughed, cried, hugged, kissed and danced the entire night and I still loved the way I looked when we called it a night.

You are a wonderful makeup artist, a beautiful spirit and a treasured friend. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on the happiest day of my life!!!

Photos to come and I will be posting a long Blog about my incredible vendor friends who were there for me on my wedding day soon!!! Many photos are up on Facebook already!

Love love love,

Dear Joanne,

Thanks so much for doing a fantastic job on my makeup. It lasted all day and looked terrific.

Dear Joanne,

I have never felt so beautiful, thanks to you. You did such an amazing job.

Dear Joanne,

I can't thank you enough for your kindness, your amazing generosity and of course, your wonderful work. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me on my wedding day.

Dear Joanne,

Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed our time together making me look fabulous. I feel so special when I leave. It's so great to work with someone so passionate about their work!

Dear Joanne,

Thank you so much for driving to Jackson, NH and making me look beautiful. You did a terrific job. I wish I could afford you every day.

Dear Joanne,

I have had a problem with dry skin for 30 years. Cells that build up and when "removed" leaving raw spots. After just 2 1/2 days of your treatment, the problem is gone. My skin feels supple and smooth. I can't tell you what a relief this is.

Dear Joanne,

The facial was delightful and my skin felt so nice and still does. Your kindness is appreciated.

Dear Joanne,

"Thank you for making me, my mother and aunt look like stars. You did a wonderful job and everyone was so happy...You are awesome in the Cosmo industry, we all looked like models. I know I felt like one for the day ..."

Dear Joanne,

Thank you so much for helping to make me such a beautiful bride. I'm so happy I found you. We will keep in touch."

Hi!

"I am a 34-year-old mother of two, who works full time. I have been working with Joanne for 4 months and have never felt better about how I look. My makeup looks better, my skin is softer and less prone to breakouts and I feel more confident in the image I project."

Dear Joanne,

Thank you so much for doing my makeup last night. You transformed me. It was a magical night and I felt like a fairy princess. Thank you for my makeup. I just love the Joya Palette.

Dear Joanne,

Thank you for all your help!!! You are so talented and made me feel wonderful when I looked in the mirror. Its been a long time since I have felt good about ME and you will never know how much I appreciate your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Joanne,

The ceremony and reception were PERFECT! And the make-up applications for Laura, the moms, and bridesmaids were PERFECT, too. Laura's make-up was spectacular - a natural look, but absolutely striking in the photos. I have never seen Laura look so beautiful and how special that she looked so beautiful on her wedding day. Thank you also for being so patient, so calming, so kind and such an expert at your craft. We will forever be grateful to you every time we look at the wedding photos.
