To wonder what you paid - Calling all recent brides

I'm after some context as to whether a quote I have received for make up on my wedding day is a lot or not so was hoping for some input from any recent Mumsnet brides!

I've contacted several make up artists for a quote for 3 adults (bride, bridesmaid & mother of the bride) and an 11 year old who may just want a tiny bit of lipgloss & mascara applying.

The one make up artist who has come back to me so far is incidentally the one I liked the most but I'm quite staggered by her quote.

I completely understand she needs to factor in travel costs and time (just over an hour each way). I'm not looking for a cheap service and will gladly pay the going rate, but I don't actually know what that is! With nothing else so far to compare her quote to, I'm wondering what you would expect or did pay for similar on your wedding day?

Common sense and understanding how businesses work, it's a bubble waiting to burst and anyone not diversifying over time will eventually fail

Right so the data is just you saying some phrases 😂

@Heidi75

it sounds like you don’t know a thing about makeup and its application- it’s a skill, it’s an art form, literally everyone looks better with it if applied well, you have to pay for that - it’s not gonna come for free is it?!
