Vendor Highlight: Joya Beauty

As wedding professionals we get to work with lots of different vendors week in and week out. This truly allows us to understand the quality of what makes a true professional!

Joanne from Joya Beauty, not only meets those standards, she exceeds them! Her customer service, genuine love of her work, attention to detail, knowledge and schooling in her craft and overall fantastic personality make her the perfect match for EVERY bride! Yes, I actually said, EVERY bride! That is not something I can say for many vendors but Wedding Belle clients have had the privilege of working with Joanne for the past 8 years and there has only been the most positive praise given during and after the wedding day! Our clients are lucky to grab her as her dates fill in quickly, so if you are still looking for a make-up artist…look no further!
