Couldn’t recommend enough!
I can't recommend Sarah enough as a wedding makeup and hair artist! From the very beginning, she was amazing to work with. During my trial, she not only listened to my vision for my hair and makeup but also offered fantastic guidance on how we could refine the look to make it even better. Her suggestions really took my initial ideas to the next level, and by the end, my hairstyle was absolutely perfect!
Sarah was incredibly responsive throughout the process, always quick to answer any questions I had and offering helpful advice, especially when it came to touch-up makeup for the day. On the wedding day itself, my makeup and hair lasted flawlessly without the need for any adjustments or touch-ups. It was so reassuring to know I could just enjoy my day without worrying about my look!
She also worked her magic on my bridesmaids and mums. Each of them was thrilled with their hair and makeup, which turned out exactly as they had hoped—Sarah really listened to everyone’s preferences and made sure they felt beautiful. The makeup she did for me had the perfect balance of natural beauty and good coverage, making me feel glowing without feeling overly done-up.
Sarah’s talent, professionalism, and warm personality made her an absolute joy to work with, and I’m so grateful she was part of our special day. If you're looking for a makeup and hair artist who will make you look and feel amazing, Sarah is definitely the one to go to!

Flawless bridal hair
Sarah was incredible to work with and is a perfectionist; it’s clear that she loves what she does. At my trial, I was put at complete ease, and we discussed options and tried a couple of ideas after showing some photos I liked. On the day, Sarah suggested a tweak following the trial, which I whole-heartedly agreed with, and she did both my own hair and my four bridesmaids' hair perfectly, each of us with different hair types and styles. She made sure that not a hair was out of place, and our hairstyles lasted all day, even after dancing all evening! Sarah is also so lovely to chat to, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Fabulous and a lot of fun!
I couldn’t have asked for a better make-up/hair artist to beautify me and my bridesmaids for my wedding. From the trial right through to the day itself, Sarah was magnificent - as was Claire who came with her on the day as there were 6 of us getting ready. I’m not someone who ever really wears make up or makes any effort with my hair and so being made up was something that felt quite daunting to me… Sarah made me feel so comfortable and made the whole experience a very happy and fun one. Thank you so much Sarah!

Just what I wanted
Sarah did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and it was perfect. We had a trial about 2 months before the day, and we discussed what I liked and what tweaks I wanted then, but once I’d worn it for the day and had more thoughts she was happy to incorporate those on the day of. She was very responsive and took my comments on board which resulted in a look that felt very me! She also did my sister’s hair which was gorgeous!

Flawless Make up and Hair
I do not wear makeup normally so was nervous and out of my depth with this part of my wedding planning...that was until I met Sarah. Sarah was clear, understood what I wanted immediately and executed it beautifully. I have never felt more stunning and confident. The make up and hair looked spectacular all night without touch ups! She carefully added my grandmother's 1957 headdress in such a way that it looked stunning and sustained no damage despite me dancing for 3 hours! Sarah was a calming, friendly presence as my bridesmaids and I got ready. She was professional, punctual and a clear communicator both throughout the planning and on the day. She used high quality, long-lasting products which didn't cause any irritation to my sensitive skin. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Amazing Experience
We hired Sarah for our Wedding in October 2023. Nothing was too much trouble - Sarah made me feel very relaxed from the hair and makeup trial right up to the wedding day. On the day itself, Sarah and Anna worked their magic on all 5 of us in plenty of time, completing all of our hair and makeup to a perfect standard and to our particular requests. They both created a relaxed environment which could have easily become very overwhelming and left plenty of time for touch ups if needed.
I would highly recommend Sarah Wray for any special event!

Perfectly Done
Sarah was absolutely perfect for hair and makeup on the wedding day! She was able to have all 4 of us ready to go early! The trial was perfect and smooth, and was effortlessly replicated on the day! Everything stayed on and in all day so cannot have any complaints and the girls loved how easy the process was

Sarah is an absolute expert in hair and makeup. Highly recommend!
Sarah is an experienced and adaptable artist and stylist, who really listens to what you like and don’t like, and creates a miracle!
I hired her for my recent wedding, and she did my bridesmaids and mine hair and make up, and everyone was so pleased with the outcome! She is also a really lovely person who is very patient, which helps in a stressful situation!

Fabulous hair and make-up
Sarah is a fantastic hair and make-up artist. We were a big group with myself, ten bridesmaids and my mum but this did not phase her! She is flexible, punctual, friendly and puts you at ease. Very happy with the results and so were all my bridesmaids. The trial was great fun too. Would highly recommend!

Sarah is amazing!
Sarah was absolutely amazing. She was very personable, helpful, professional and made life very easy for me. My wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her touch! An absolute amazing artist and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Fabulous Makeup Artist
Sarah was fantastic! She is very friendly and accommodating. Myself and my sister had a trail before the wedding and she did a fantastic job. She was able to use my limited ideas (as I'm not good at makeup) and created a gorgeous look. My other bridesmaids felt so happy and confident on the day and were so pleased with their makeup. Sarah was on time on the wedding day and accommodated for the timings I needed and she stayed for a while after we were done to allow for touch ups. Sarah is so worth the money and truly a lovely person. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah was a great hair & makeup artist!
I was really nervous about getting my hair & makeup done, i especially hate anyone seeing me without any foundation on my face. But Sarah was easy to get along with and helped calm my nerves on my big day. She arrived super early in the morning at my mums for the bridesmaids and then also went to the venue to do my hair & makeup after. She checked everything was perfect before leaving as well. Could not of asked for a better hair and makeup artist! Would consider her again if i ever have a similar occasion

Absolutely brilliant!
My new wife and I loved working with Sarah. She was so welcoming and had such a great energy, she understood really quickly what we wanted (even when we described it quite badly!) and made us feel incredibly comfortable, both for our trial and on the day. She was on time (early even!) and kept up her amazing energy even through having to work with my mum and some of our fussy bridal party! We can't recommend Sarah enough, and I'm contemplating getting divorced and remarried just to work with her again! (Just kidding...)

Such an amazing wedding supplier!
Sarah and her colleague Claire did a fantastic job doing the hair and makeup on my wedding day for myself, my mother, and four bridesmaids. They worked very hard, from about 7.15 am to around 1 pm.
I really enjoyed the whole experience! Sarah put me at ease right away (which was great as I'm someone who gets anxious easily) and I had a really fun time chatting with her during the process. My bridesmaids and my mum did as well. Much like myself, they rarely wear makeup, but they found something that suited them well, and picked up lots of useful tips along the way.
I got so many compliments about my hair and makeup on the day, and that was all down to Sarah! The moment I walked down the aisle, my husband got teary and so did the rest of the congregation. Amazingly, my hair and makeup lasted well into the early hours, even with my energetic dancing!
I plan to keep in touch with Sarah, and I am definitely keen to have her do my hair and makeup for another special occasion.
5* supplier- I would recommend her 100%!

Absolutely Fantastic
Sarah was absolutely incredible from start to finish, nothing was too difficult. Completely put me at ease during the trial, absolute professional while being so kind and approachable. Her and Claire did an absolutely fantastic job on all NINE of us yes nine and the end when my sister realised she wanted her hair differently (match my other sister) it was not an issue. They went above and beyond and made our special day even more special by just being so kind. I had and still receive so many compliments on how fantastic I looked and it’s all down to Sarah! Absolutely hire her immediately you won’t regret it.
