Dearest Jay,
I look back on my wedding photos so much, but even more so recently as it was our one year wedding anniversary last week. I still cant believe the amazing job you did. The weather we had that day was so unpredictable for the first day of spring, it was sunny, windy, sprinkling, yet hot in the morning - and our make up never... not once budged. And it wasn't for the fact that it was packed on either! It was as light as a feather yet I had to use professional make up wipes to get it off! You adhered to everyone's comfort ability and wishes - a great example of this is my sister who never wears make up and was scared of false eye lashes, you worked around that for her yet you couldn't tell the difference.

I'm also still in shock that you alone managed to have myself, my three bridesmaids, my mum, mother in law and sister in law all beautified up in time.

Words simply cant explain how comfortable you made us all feel and how happy we ALL were with the job. I honestly have no issues traveling to see you for another event that I need my make up done at.

I wish you all the best. I'm SURE I'll see you again because I doubt I'll go anywhere else.

Love always,

Alana Hardy

Hi Jay

I hope you are well.

Sorry it has taken me a while to write to you... I don't know where the last two months has gone.

I really just wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing job you did on not only my makeup, but also mum and the girls...

You made me feel so beautiful and I know all the girls and mum felt exactly the same. Allison even said it was the best makeup she had ever had :)

You were so much fun to have around and even though I was freaking out, you still managed to make me laugh :)

Thanks again, you are an amazing at what you do xxx

After only talking with Jay over the phone to get my hair done for my wedding and not having ever met her nor having a trial I was absolutely delighted with how my hair turned out. It was perfect. Jay arrived on time and was so lovely and great to talk to. You done a fantastic job with my hair and styled it exactly how i asked for and envisaged. Thank you Jay for making me feel so beautiful on my special day

Hi Jay,

Attached are some pics.

Thank-you so much for being a part of my special day. My make-up and also the bridesmaids was exactly what we wanted and you knew all the best techniques and colours for all our varying skin tones.

You arrived on time and your bubbly personality distracted us from any stresses. You made us look and feel fabulous and even had us ready early! And I couldn’t have wished for anything more.

Thank-you so much for your friendly and professional service, hair and make-up is one of the most important parts of any wedding day and you satisfied in every way. I would happily recommend you to all my friends, family and any future brides!

Organizing a wedding from out of town was always going to have its challenges but Jay made the hair and makeup part of the day an absolute breeze. She fitted in my trial well in advance of the wedding and on the wedding day was prompt, professional, kept us relaxed and laughing and best of all made all of us look wonderful! For the girls who weren't used to wearing makeup she put their minds at ease and no request was too much trouble. Would happily recommend her services to all brides-to-be.

Anita is a fantastic hair stylist and did the most fabulous job on us all! Please thank her so much for her work!

Jay I cannot recommend you both highly enough. As my sister said you both made what was an exciting day just perfect!

I would, and have, recommended Jay Kruse to any bride. You are dealing with a true professional and i could have not been more happy with the makeup for my wedding. It was very easy to discuss with Jay exactly what i wanted and the end result was flawless and lasted the whole night. Right up until the end of the Reception i looked like a bride. Thank you Jay, i felt and looked beautiful for my special day!

Hi Jay,

I just wanted to say thanks again on the wonderful job you did with our hair for my wedding and send you a couple of pics from before we went outside and got all sweaty!
Our hair and makeup looked beautiful though, and my hair even survived all through the day and after me dancing for hours and the reception! I'm so happy with how our hair and makeup looked in all our beautiful photos, so thank you so much!

Hey Jay,
 
Sorry it's taken me so long to send this, I just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and your make-up lady (i feel horrible for forgetting her name! I want to say Jo?).
 
We were really happy with the outcome - you were both so lovely and it definitely helped keep the nerves at bay.
The girls thought you were hilarious fyi ;)
 
So i have attached a couple of pics from the day, given you helped us look as bloody good as we did!
 
Thanks so much again, i wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone!
All the best for your sneaky wedding on the coast - hope you both have an amazing day, as i have no doubt you will!-
