Aloha Denise, Mike, Scottie and Mira-

Steve and I just wanted to thank you guys for doing the most incredible job and making our wedding perfect in our opinion! I want to really give Denise a shout out, because not only is she amazing at her job and just cool, but she also strongly recommended all of you to me and she couldn’t have been more right with the work you all do. It is not easy planning a wedding from Seattle in Maui but you all are so incredibly talented and were a pleasure to work with. I have recommended everyone to you guys and would love to provide reviews or anything that can help your businesses. Please let me know what we can do and what site is the most beneficial!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was such a positive experience and you all came through 110%!

Best,

Molly and Steve Snider

Hi MiRa

I just want to thank you so much for all you did on Friday to make us all look so beautiful. You went way beyond my expectations. I can’t believe you were able to squeeze in the extra people I hadn’t planned on. The flowers were gorgeous and all your ideas were spot on.

Much Mahalo!

Dear friends,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday’s wedding. Christen, Tim and their families were blown away by the food, the setting and just the whole day. This was my first time working with a totally new team of awesome companies here in Maui, and I just wanted to thank you for your time and patience with a planner from the mainland!

Everything came together so beautifully and I cannot wait to see the photos!

If you snapped any iPhone pics I’d love to see — I am also attaching a list of the vendor team’s instagram handles if you’d like to post any pics to Instagram (meant to do this yesterday).

Big thank you again & I really hope to have the chance to work with everyone again!

I am thrilled to share that Christen & Tim’s wedding was published on Martha Stewart Weddings today! Here is the link — please share on social (my instagram handle is @amynicholsse)

…a dream to work with!

“We went with Mira-Mira and she has been a dream to work with. She is very sweet and on top of things, and she genuinely seems excited about our wedding. She does a great job of getting me to describe my vision and then she runs with it and comes back with concrete ideas for me. She has done all the coordination with my vendors, which has made it really easy for me. We make the choices and she makes it happen. Although our engagement is pretty short, none of it has felt rushed. From my experience so far, I would highly recommend her.”

Hair and Make-Up – Mira – A+

Mira did a great job on my hair and make-up and the hair for my bridesmaids and mum (her assistant did the make-up for the bridesmaids and my mum). I was really pleased with how everyone’s look turned out – all the make-up was soft and natural and the skin flawless and even by the end of the night (and after lots and lots of champagne) everyone looked great and in tact. Also the make-up looks fantastic in all the photos as well. I had done a trial with Mira the week before so that also helped in deciding what to do on the day and I’m really glad she recommended some small false eyelashes as although I was sceptical they did make a big difference and weren’t obvious like I’d feared.

…totally loved everything!

…I went with Mira and the first time I spoke to her on the phone I loved her. Her voice is like soothing and so sweet. I really gave her no direction when she got there, showed her a few pictures but wasn’t committed to anything and I just sat there while she did her work not knowing what she was doing and totally loved everything. I thought my hair looked rad and I was amazed at my eye makeup

Hair/Makeup – Maui Mira – A+++++ – I loved her! LOVED LOVED LOVED.

Did I mention I loved her? I booked her based on what I could find on her, her website, and her prices. I will admit I was slightly worried because she didn’t require a contract or a deposit and I was unsure if she would show only because I’m paranoid.. Well Mira showed up on time, set up, looked at the inspiration photos and got right to work. I don’t have the words to express how much I loved my hair and makeup. I felt beautiful and that’s rare for me. My makeup lasted the entire night and it wasn’t even airbrushed! I have very oily skin so I was worried that it would slide off…that stuff lasted the entire night through the humidity and my sweat! Don’t even get me started on my lashes and eye makeup….I loved it! I hope I am getting across how happy I was with Mira because she really was awesome and I feel like there are hardly any reviews out there for her, and she so deserves great things to be said.

I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I lved the hair and makeup you did for our family on my wedding day. My mother, cousin, and I are STILL talking about how great of a job you did styling our hair and makeup. It was perfect and a great treat to meet you. I have never seen myself like you did me up and I absolutely loved it! I had no idea that my eyes, hair, and skin could look so good. I really felt beautiful on my wedding day and it was all thanks to you. Thanks again. You are awesome!

Hi Mira!

I just wanted to say thank you again for the amazing work you did on my hair and the makeup on my girls. They all looked so beautiful and received so many compliments! Oh and we all loved our lashes!

We just wanted to follow up and thank you for everything you did for our wedding on July 31st. Things were pretty hectic for us and we are now just getting to our thank you to our vendors. I wanted to personally thank you for making my bride look so beautiful on our special day.

We found a site that published our wedding, and gave kudos to all the vendors:

http://www.stylemepretty.com/destination-weddings/2012/10/03/maui-wedding-at-hale-honu-from-anna-kim-photography/

We just got all our wedding photos back, so we will be putting up a site with them (feel free to use for any marketing/facebook). If you ever need a referral, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. We would be more than happy to give our recommendation for you. Maybe we will be in touch for the 1 year anniversary

Take care and thank you very much,

Eric & Katie Haraga

Hello Mira,

How are you? I hope all is well! Sorry I haven’t been in touch since our wedding but I really wanted to say thank you so very much for being an important part of my day!! The truth is that you and I actually spent most of the wedding day together lol. I am very lucky to have you as you were such a fun and sweet person. You really made my bridal party and myself look fabulous! My favorite was the natural and beautiful set of eyelashes!

Btw you may have been aware but our wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty last week. I’m sure many of your work had been published but this once again proves your talent.

Here’s the link to SMP:

Hi Mira,

I just wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful job you did on my hair and makeup on the 20th of May. My husband loved it as well and keeps asking if I can do my makeup like that again. I was wondering if you could tell me what foundation brand, eye shadow (brand/color), and mascara brand you used? Everything wore so well and it didn’t feel like I had makeup on my skin.

Thank you again. You did an amazing job and I was so happy with my hair and makeup on the big day!

Hey Mira!!!

It’s been almost one year that we meet, and I wanted to thank you once again for your wonderful work on me, my husband and my mom! Everyone was impressed by your work and professionalism, I have been to many make up artists here in Paris, but never had the same effect like you did!

Once again, thank you, I hope we’ll have to meet up again for another celebration on Maui or why not in Europe

I don’t remember if I’ve sent you the pics / videos, but if not, here they are! :))

video 2. trash the dress http://vimeo.com/55702502

You were unfortunately available for trash the dress session, another make up artist did my hair and make up, but since the videographer, even for video 2, made a mix of the wedding day and trash the dress, we can easily see how your work was perfect :))

Take great care and hope to see you soon ! :))

Hugs from Paris ))

Thanks again

Hello Mira,

This is Angelica Sotelo-now Garcia! It’s been a while since you did my hair/makeup but I never really got the chance to say Thank You! I couldn’t have been more happy with my hair and makeup. I felt sooo beautiful on my wedding day March 2nd, 2013. You transformed me into the bride I always envisioned myself to be. My hair and makeup was flawless and stayed fresh looking the entire day! You truly have an amazing talent Mira! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

We just got our wedding video in so here it is!!!

Hi Mira. I just wanted to reach out to you again to tell you how fortunate I feel to have met you. Not only are you passionate about what you do but I appreciate your sharing your life’s journey as a mother. The roses you brought to our shoot made the pictures, they have elevated my entire brand. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and if you ever find yourself in LA look me up XOXO
