my appraoch
solid planing + positive vibes
I'll make sure you love how you look when it's time, but before you sit in my chair, you can also expect:
-
a smooth booking process
-
timely communication
-
detailed prep guides & questionnaires
-
a thoughtfully planned makeup & hair schedule
Your wedding morning sets the tone for the rest of the day, and that is not a responsibility I take lightly. I will do everything in my power to keep things moving and protect your energy — whether you need a hype girl or a calm presence, I'm always ready to switch gears.
An organized girls' girl who understands the assignment.
NEVER COOKIE-CUTTER,
ALWAYS custom.
one wedding per day
You don't have to worry about me skipping touch-ups because I'm rushing off to another wedding — I'll make sure the MVP who went first looks fresh before I leave. You are my only priority!
Committing to just one booking a day means I can be more flexible with adjusting the start time of services to accommodate any changes to your wedding schedule.
equipped for efficiency
Ample lighting, a high chair for makeup, and a surface to set up on are all things makeup artists and hairstylists need to do our jobs properly, so I make sure I have it all, every single time.
✔︎ Up before the sun? I've got lights.
✔︎ No bar stools? No problem.
✔︎ Don't have a ton of surface area? I've got tables.
All you need to provide is table-height chair for hair services. As for the rest, I've got it covered!
vegan & cruelty-free
🐰
My kit is always evolving, but I love Charlotte Tilbury, Danessa Myricks, Urban Decay, Face Atelier, RCMA, Tower 28, Aveda, AG Care, Keune, Unite, and Color Wow (just to name a few).
My love for animals runs deep, so working with products that align with my values is just as important to me as their quality and performance — Cruelty Free Kitty & the Double Check Vegan Ingredient Checker help me decide whether or not a product makes it into my kit.

kit clean as f***
You can sleep easy knowing that I won't give you pink eye as a wedding present. My best practices for a sanitary application include:
✔︎ clean & separate brush sets for each client
✔︎ sponges are never reused
✔︎ disposables are used wherever appropriate
✔︎ powders are sanitized between applications
✔︎ no double dipping liquids/creams
my story
chasing nostalgia + authenticity
Prior to graduating from makeup school and earning my hairstyling license, I attempted a Visual Arts degree for two years... sure, I dropped out when I realized that nothing was less interesting to me than a blank canvas, but at least the colour theory came in handy!
Teasing dozens of ponytails before cheerleading competitions, and helping my friends with their eyeliner before a night out always left me buzzing, so after working my first wedding in 2016, I was hooked.
My job today has everything I loved about those earlier memories — the pressure, the sisterhood, and (warning: cliché) the satisfaction of watching someone discover their newfound confidence.
I reside in Milton, ON with my husband Jonathan, our rescue dogs Benny and Nico, my brother John, and his rescue dog Luna. I'm also obsessed with the following (in varying degrees and in no particular order):
-
Beyoncé — fun fact: she acknowledged me by name 🐝
-
my houseplants 🪴
-
RuPaul's Drag Race 🏁
-
yapping with my besties 🎙️
-
dance classes 👠
-
Fresh Kitchen + Juice Bar 🌱
-
musicals — still holding space for Defying Gravity 🎭
"JENN IS ABLE TO MAKE ANY BRIDE feel at ease."
I can't express how amazing Jenn is. I'm so happy that I got to use her services and what an outstanding job she did. Every step from providing info, to the trial run, to the day of, Jenn made sure all of it was a breeze and no worries. Jenn is also so personable, she is able to make any bride calm and at ease. I can't thank her enough for making me feel beautiful on my special day. She nailed the look. Thank you again Jenn!
