    I worked with Cassandra's associate stylist, Jessica, and she was amazing! Both of the mother's and myself got both our hair and makeup done and it turned out perfect. Jessica really listened to the specifics we all wanted and during my trial run, offered suggestions along the way to help customize the look. Also, Cassandra was very responsive with any questions that I had and made the process super easy. Would definitely recommend!

    Cassandra is THE BEST! She's a super knowledgeable, fun, professional and queer-friendly. We hired her to do my partner's make up for our wedding just before the new year. She showed up right on time packing a crazy cool arsenal of makeup and beauty supplies. My partner looked super hot (and classy) when Cassandra was done :D ... Good looking out!
    If you are having a LGBTQ wedding, Cassandra Kennedy Beauty is the way to go!

    Cassandra is the most talented make up artist I have ever worked with! She has a unique ability to create a look on her clients that is both classic and modern- a true representation of elegant, fresh beauty that also feels organic! Her work never looks overdone. Cassandra is also so fun to be around and knows how to make brides feel at ease. I love Cassandra's work and wish I could photograph it every day!

    Working with Cassandra and her amazing assistant Paige was an absolute DREAM. ... Cassandra's make-up skills are out of this world. She can make you look like a billion bucks but you feel like you're wearing less make-up than you've ever worn before. Paige worked magic with my bridesmaids hair, creating intricate braids that would take us ordinary mortals hours to complete. They are detailed, professional and incredibly talented artists and it was an honor to be their canvas.
