“Working with Lilly and Janet of BridalGal was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I am an Indian bride with a diverse and large group of bridesmaids who I wanted to all feel comfortable in their looks. I was looking for experienced artists who were able to achieve a subtle but glam and polished look for all skin tones and ethnicities. From our first call, Lilly understood exactly what my vision was and made me feel confident she would carry it out. During my trial, Lilly and Janet traveled to me and spent quality time helping me nail down the look I wanted for the big day. They felt like family by the end of the day.”

“The whole BridalGal team was so professional and such a pleasure to work with. I inquired as to having my hair done for my myself and 14 girls for my wedding. Lilly River immediately responded and was so helpful and thoughtful in figuring out logistics/details. Lead Hairstylist Janet Reynoso traveled to my house to do my hair trial and I was SO pleased with how my hair looked that I also booked her to do my hair for my bridal shower. She is patient, creative, fun, and truly a professional. She knows exactly what she is doing! The same went for the day of the wedding. My bridesmaids were all so happy with how their hair turned out.”

“I simply cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lily, THE ``Bridal Gal``... I am SO incredibly grateful to have found her. I specifically contacted her after researching experienced makeup artists capable of airbrush coverage on the body (which is not very easy to find). I have scarring on my arms and chest that I normally do not expose on the daily but being a bridesmaid in my close friends wedding, I had no choice in the matter, plus I didn't want to hide behind a bolero/shawl anymore. As soon as I contacted Lily, she was informative, professional and willing to help make this situation easier for me!”

“Lilly did makeup for my mom, my sister and me on my wedding day. My cousins had used her previously for their weddings and recommended her. Lilly did an amazing job, we loved our makeup. The trial went great before we booked, I also met up with her prior to the wedding for her to shape my eyebrows and match my haircolor to the extensions at her office space. Lilly was always very flexible and accommodating and I appreciate how they come to you for the trial and on the wedding day. Karen did our hair and I was thrilled with my hair as well. Both my make up and hair lasted all night and the pictures came out amazing!”

– Emily

“Lily is absolutely amazing! From the first phone call with her - she made me feel at ease and asked me about how I see myself as a bride and made sure that I was happy. She came to be with bridalgal Karen for hair to my home for a trial - I didn't have to do anything just be at home and made me look amazing and beautiful during the trial and on my wedding day! On my wedding day - our day started at 5am and from that moment till the end of the night - she was with me every step of way. My make up and hair were flawless and I mean flawless!!!”

“SUCH a wonderful experience! I had my wedding over a two day span and the first day required Lilly to come there by 4am. She was there on time and I was late getting up! Despite that she didn't get upset or get rude - she was just fun and funny and kept me calmo N the most important day of my life! Day 2 involved having to be changed from one hotel to another and she thought on her feet without even a hiccup! I feel terrible for being so disorganized but never once did Lilly act unprofessionally! I posted on fb saying - if I could go back and do my wedding again, I would do it if only to work w Lilly again! What a lovely sweet woman! A pleasure to work with!”

“It was a pleasure to work with Lilly, she was professional and willing to work with me on a very tight timeline. She is clearly a pro. She did a perfect job of my makeup so that it still looked flawless during a very, very hot day. She worked on my entire family and everything came out stunning.”

“Lily at Bridalgal is the absolute best for makeup! She is very professional and can cater to a variety of different brides. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face!”

“I came to Lilly desperate to get a birthmark on my shoulder covered for a wedding I was in. The birthmark is raised and about the size of a baseball cut in half. I had been to dermatologists, used dermablend and microskin and nothing compares to the coverage Lilly was able to provide. This woman is a TRUE ARTIST. Friends and family of mine could not believe how amazing my arm looked. I am so thankful to Lilly for increasing my self-esteem and confidence wearing my bridesmaid dress, knowing that people would not be staring at my birthmark. I have another wedding this November and will be going to Lilly again!!! She is amazing!”

– Annette

“Lilly did a beautiful job on makeup for my daughter's wedding. The bridal party was a diverse group of young women, from natural blondes to African Americans, and Lilly created besutiful results with everyone. She was punctual, patient, and pleasant. Because of photos etc we were under time pressure, and Lilly made a lovely group of girls look even more polished and elegant. She clearly knows her craft. We have returned to her for other events since the wedding and continue to be very happy. Lilly is experienced and professional.”

“As a Fashion, Hair, Beauty and Commercial Photographer, I have had the privilege to work with one of the best makeup artists I’ve ever known; Lilly Rivera.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone, whether a company or individual.”
