    Perfect Hair!

    True to Marissa’s online presence – she is the queen of the bridal hair game! Much like many of her brides, I have hated the result every single time that I have had my hair done professionally for prom and weddings. My fine, straight hair has never held up in the styles and the amount of hairspray applied only made my hair look like a poodle. I specifically hired Marissa because of this and her experience and results with hair like mine. The excitement I had when I received her email that she was available on my date was probably one of the most excited moments in my whole planning process. I had such anxiety leading into the wedding planning wanting to feel confident and beautiful but knowing that I’d never felt that way before with previous stylists. Knowing that I had Marissa styling my hair took all of that away. The trial was an amazing introduction to her skill and wonderful personality. The bubbly hype woman you see on her social media isn’t for show. She truly is that nice and excited for her brides. She takes the time to ask you for specifics in what you want, length of the event, how your hair normally behaves, etc. to be sure that the style you choose will meet all of your dreams. Her presence in the bridal suite getting ready only added to the joy of our big day. Marissa brought her second stylist, Taylor, given the number of ladies and our timeframe. Taylor brought just as much enthusiasm and focus as Marissa. Both of them looked through the bridesmaid’s inspiration photos picking them apart to understand fully exactly what everyone wanted. Everyone’s hair held up through the WHOLE event, truly a feat as it was a very long time from the first girl leaving their chairs to the end of the night. I am additionally so thankful to her bridal education that she does on her social media about what to expect on that day and tips/tricks to make things go smoothly. Marissa is an absolute gem in the crazy wedding world and should be the first person you hire in your wedding planning process. She’s a hot commodity so reach out early! I am so thankful that I had her there making us all feel so beautiful.

    The Best!!!

    Look no further for a bridal hair stylist! Marissa was so great throughout the entire process. From booking to postponing to the wedding day she made the everything run smoothly. She is very professional and was always prompt in her responses and on time for appointments and at the same time so nice, fun, and easy to talk to. She even did my hair for my engagement pictures which I loved! She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day and all of the girls hair still looked great at the end of the night. She is constantly working on bettering and growing her business and has the best tips for brides/bridesmaids on her Instagram. Cannot thank her or recommend her enough!

    Perfection 🹬

    When I tell you people won't stop talking about my hair...it's been 3 weeks! My bridal hair looked so unbelievably good it's hard to put into words. After my trial, I let Marissa know I wanted to change things up and go for a more Cardi B/Pam Anderson updo vibe. BOY DID SHE DELIVER. Not only did she cut my hair (yes she did some snips day of) and produce an amazing end product, but she did it in 45 MINS! LIKE HOW?!

    Marissa down to earth, reasonably priced, and so passionate about what she does. Cannot thank her enough for making my hair the talk of the wedding (and still goin'). 👏

    Marissa is amazing!

    I absolutely loved working with Marissa from the start to the day of my wedding! She was always quick to respond, lovely to work with, and always incredibly helpful! During my trial, I was blown away by Marissa’s work and the outcome of my hair and makeup! To my surprise, my hair and makeup was even more beautiful the day of my wedding. I was so worried about my tiara falling out or moving during our dance, but Marissa ensured me that wouldn’t be an issue. She allowed and encouraged me to wiggle my head around as much as I could to make sure I was comfortable with the way it felt. She showed my bridal party how to bustle and remove my veil after the ceremony and she was all in all just amazing to work with! I cannot recommend her and her team enough!!

    Absolutely stunning!

    Marissa is INCREDIBLE! I was counting my lucky stars that she was available for my wedding date. Any future bride would be so lucky to have her as their stylist on their wedding day. She absolutely exceeded my expectations. My hair looked so beautiful and didn't budge at all! I screen shotted a low bun that she styled for another bride because it was exactly what I wanted and she delivered an exact replica! She also provided styling for my future mother in law, future SIL's, and solo bridesmaid. Everyone looked amazing thanks to her!

    She is a wonderful person - so charismatic and kind. I felt like I was in great hands from the moment we first connected. I appreciate someone like Marissa because she is SO organized and I need that in my life because I'm Type-A. The whole process was seamless and stress free! I sincerely want to thank you for everything and best of luck with your own wedding plans :-) XO

    A talented professional!

    Marissa is absolutely fabulous! She is incredibly talented and made me and my bridesmaids feel incredibly beautiful. She answers emails promptly, was on time for our wedding day, and kept us right on schedule while not making us feel rushed or underdone. I would recommend Marissa's service to all of my friends and family.

    10/10 recommend! Marissa was THE BEST!!

    Marissa is truly THE BEST!! I can't express enough- EVERY BRIDE NEEDS A MARISSA!! She made the entire experience so fun, easy, and worry free. My wedding day hair turned out better than I ever could of imagined. Marissa helped me pick out the most beautiful head piece that matched my dress so well and added just what I needed to my day of look. She also made ALL of my bridesmaids look stunning- all of them had a different hair style and Marissa NAILED each one. She was so easy to work with from start to finish- anytime I reached out she responded quickly. During our getting ready process she was such great vibes, I felt like she was part of the crew- we had so much fun with her which is so important to have the morning of your big day. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thanks for everything Marissa!

    Book marissa!

    I HIGHLY recommend booking Marissa for your wedding day. She truly worked MAGIC with my hair, and it lasted from 9am until 3am, not a piece was out of place. She even worked with me after I changed my mind on how I wanted my hair after the trial. I showed her the (Kim K) inspo photo and she just completely ran with the image and made it better than I could've imagined. I also can't forget to mention how she has a rock star personality, I felt like she was a good friend before even meeting her. I highly highly highly recommend Marissa!!

    Hair & makeup that looked perfect all day/night long

    Hair and makeup was, for me, the absolute hardest vendor to book. On an average day I’m a “let my hair air dry & mascara only” kind of a girl. It was important to me that I look natural but not washed out in photos. For hair, I wanted it up, out of the way, and looking good all night. My hair and makeup was perfect all day and night (it was a 90 degree day in May!). Marissa even stayed to place my vail and show my bridesmaids how to remove it without damaging my hair.

    With having a trial prior, you should love your hair and makeup on your wedding day. What I think speaks even louder to Marissa’s talent is how everyone else in my wedding party felt. Every single one of by bridesmaids was in love with their hair & makeup. They brought inspiration pictures and Marissa nailed each hair style ... one of my bridesmaids said it was the best hair she’s ever had done as a bridesmaid.

    On top of her talent, Marissa is truly a joy to work with. She knows her stuff, sends the most timely reminders (timing for cut/color prior to your wedding), and is FUN! Marissa is also a hard worker—just take a look at her Instagram. I promise she won’t rest until you feel your wedding look is nailed. I will give Marissa’s name to every one of my friends and if I can find a reason to book her again for myself, I absolutely will.

    The sweetest, most professional, and talented!

    If you want to look like your natural self on your wedding day but more beautiful and confident then choose Marissa Grace Artistry. COVID changed our plans for our April wedding and Marissa was so kind and accommodating. Great communication all along the journey. She even sent a sweet card and cookie in the mail! On the big day, my bridesmaids were all so impressed with her products and techniques and they know a lot about hair and makeup. Marissa and Jeannine made all of us look and feel so beautiful! I literally felt so amazing. Even had a change in hair from the initial trial but Marissa absolutely killed it! I had full confidence in her. The individual false eyelashes were perfect as well! I cannot thank Marissa enough. She is truly a gem and you should not hesitate to book her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    Wallace wedding

    COVID 19 turned my original wedding plans to shambles. Marissa was not my original makeup artist, she was my new one after I had changed the date. She was very responsive, professional and flexible with my ever changing situation. She and her team were so much fun to work with the morning of and our hair and makeup looked absolutely flawless throughout the day! She is the perfect person to hire for an easy, fun and professional hair and makeup experience!

    The BEST Wedding Hair & Makeup!

    Where do I even begin!? Marissa was the best possible choice I ever could have made for my wedding hair and makeup. Not only is she super talented, but she's so passionate and knowledgeable. She was so much fun to have around while we were all getting ready. I could not have felt more beautiful on my wedding day and the rest of the girls looked amazing. No one felt too over-done and looked like more beautiful versions of themselves. I even decided to slightly change my hair from my previous trial that morning and Marissa completely nailed it! I can't wait for one of my sisters to get married one day so we can use Marissa again!

    Book Marissa TODAY!!

    I can't say enough incredible things about my experience working with Marissa. She is so talented, knowledgable, personable, and fun to be around. She made me feel like a goddess on my wedding day, and my whole bridal party felt the same way.

    I'm not a big hair and makeup girl, and do the bare minimum most days. When I told Marissa I wanted an effortless, natural look, she listened so well and brought that to life for me. I was so impressed with how educated she is as a beauty artist, doing both hair and makeup so beautifully.

    Outside of her talent, she's down to earth and such a fun person to be around. We always had fun emailing each other prior to the wedding, and she and her team made getting ready so much fun day-of.

    I've already referred Marissa to two of my friends, and will continue to encourage anyone who will listen to work with her. She's the best!

    Bomb diggity

    I was a fairly picky bride and loved loved loved working with Marissa and Staci. They did a great job and exceeded my expectations. Marissa is very responsive and will work with you until you are happy with the results. I wanted to switch up my hairstyle on the day of and she knew exactly what to do. She is quick and knows what she is doing and is very flexible. She finished earlier than expected and was even able to fit in my SIL who decided she wanted her hair done after seeing everyone else's results! If you're on the fence, JUST DO IT. Would recommend her all day and will probably bug her again if I have another event in Philly.

    Marissa did my hair and my bridesmaids and executed my vision perfectly! I wanted soft waves and wanted a natural hair style where it didn’t look over done. Marissa not only did my hair gorgeously but nailed all of my bridesmaids. Thank you so so much!

    Boho bride's dream!!!

    Marissa is just MAGIC with hair. I showed her the inspiration photo and she just completely ran with the idea and made it ever better. She is so professional, and personable. After doing my trial and seeing her on the wedding day, I felt like I had an old friend with me! The make up was done so beautifully as well, she exceeded what I thought I could even look like on my wedding day haha. She is truly amazing at what she does, I highly highly recommend!!

    Professional, Incredibly Talented Artist

    Marissa provided hair and make-up at my wedding and she was such a joy to work with. She is the epitome of a professional while still being relatable and fun. It's clear how seriously she takes her work and how committed she is to bringing the best skills to the table. She listened carefully to what I was interested in, adapted seamlessly to day-of scheduling changes, and made my bridesmaids (all of whom had different skin tones) look and feel beautiful. My only disappointment is that I live far away and can't book her for all of my makeup and hair needs! :)

    Marissa is Fantastic!

    We enjoyed working with Marissa from the initial email. She is very personable and responds quickly. During the hair and makeup trial, Marissa asked a few questions and easily created the look I wanted. She made me feel comfortable which was great because I am very self-conscious about my hair. She did awesome work the day of the wedding with all my bridesmaids as well. She was punctual and flexible when we had to shift the schedule around.

    Incredible

    Marissa was amazing to work with! She made everyone feel extremely comfortable and did an incredible job. I had a large number of people getting hair and makeup done so she made sure to bring someone who matched her caliber. Thank you Staci! Everyone felt beautiful and confident. We had the best day ever. She was even able to do my 3 nieces hair. They loved it! I would highly recommend Marissa!

    Life saver!!!

    If you don't read the entire review just know this - Marissa is by far the best makeup and hair artist in the area especially for Brides! She saved my wedding.

    I had a small wedding - 50 guests, family only. I figured I would go to my regular salon and get my hair and makeup done for my wedding. WRONG. I had my trial, makeup was horrible. Hair was ok - nothing to be wowed about. My regular hair artist told me she knew someone to do makeup and it would be fine. Day of my bridal shower, I used her makeup artist. Again, horrible. I was looking for a light, yet good coverage bridal makeup. Not extreme coverage glam. And no one seemed to comprehend that -- except Marissa. I found PrettyOnArrival through my wedding photographer. I emailed her 2 WEEKS before my wedding and asked if she could help me out. Her photos portrayed natural bridal makeup which was everything I was looking for. She fit me in for a trial and I was blown away! Not only does she prep the skin before putting on the makeup but she also creates palettes specifically for you! I loved that. Everything matched my skin tone perfectly. A week or so before my wedding, I felt the need to change my hair style as well since I wasn't wowed with my 1st hair trial from a different hair artist. I emailed Marissa and again she was so accommodating and helpful. I put all of my trust in her to do my hair on my wedding day with no trial and she just amazed me and my entire family. As I said above the makeup was perfection but the hair... HOLY COW. I just can't get over it. I felt like such a beautiful bride. And I was so happy that I switched to Marissa for my hair and makeup. You literally will NOT be disappointed if you chose her for your wedding. She even did my Mom's makeup who is 64 years old and wears NO makeup ever. She loved Marissa's work as well. She felt natural yet beautiful for photos. I cannot say enough good things about Marissa. Thank you thank you thank you!!

    Marissa was so great to work with and her and her team did a great job on hair and makeup for me and my bridal party! From my initial inquiry she was prompt and provided all necessary information. She really listened to me and worked with me to get the look I anted for my wedding. Everyone in my bridal party loved their hair and makeup! I highly recommend Marissa and her team!
