I booked Marissa to do hair and make up for my wedding day yesterday and what an amazing job she did, not just for myself but my mum and bridesmaids too. From making the booking, going for a trial and then making me feel like a true princess on my special day, this lady has been fantastic and I would definately recommend Marissa and her team to anyone. Thank you Marissa and girls xxx More...

Booked Marrissa for my wedding yesterday, she was totally amazing. Couldn’t have wished for anyone else. I normally don’t wear makeup and was rather worried I would look too strange or over the top, Marrissa soon put these worries to bed. She created an amazing look, not only with makeup but hair too. Would highly recommend too anyone! Thank you very much so all you did, along with making me feel so relaxed on the morning �. More...

Not sure what I can add about Marissa that hasn't already been said. She did my wedding hair & makeup last month and made me feel like a QUEEN. A couple skin issues make me extremely self conscious & I normally dislike anyone going near my face... but she made me feel so at ease, from the moment we met at my makeup trial. I had so many compliments and that's all down to Marissa. Makeup on me usually lasts a few hours, but between 3pm & 1am my makeup did not budge whatsoever (in 26 degrees heat & after lots of dancing). Lots of people can do makeup well, but what sets Marissa apart from others is that she is extra talented & so warm/understanding. Highly recommended!!! More...

My son bought me a make over / photo shoot for a birthday present , as i hate photos taken it took me two years to actually get round to booking it. I was lucky enough to have found Jeff Brown ( photographer) and Marissa Bennett who did my hair and make up. She made me feel fantastic and put me at ease straight away. Hair and make up were just fantastic and i highly recommend Marissa for all your special days as she is brilliant . They both made me feel great and at ease , i still remember how hard it was to actually pick just a few photographs as looked good in them all. So if you have a special event or even just want to treat your self then go see Marissa . More...

I first met Marissa when i was looking for someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding last year. Straight away by her professional and friendly approach she made me feel at ease and confident that she Was listening to my every wish. On my wedding day she arrived early as promised and worked none stop for 6 hours doing my hair and make up and my bridesmaids hair. Her talent is unbelievable and both hair and make up was flawless all day. Everyone commented on them!!!! I have also used Marissa for various weddings/parties etc and her standard stays high and flawless. I wouldn't go anywhere else and have recommended her to all my friends. If your looking for someone who will be attentive professional and feels like a friend to enhance your natural beauty on any special occasion don't look any further Marissa is the girl YOU need!!!!!!

I live in Miami and I am getting married next year, July 2016 at jesmond dene in Newcastle. I know how fantastic Marissa is as she did the hair and makeup at my brothers wedding in 2012 at matfen hall. I knew I wanted to book her and luckily I was just in Newcastle visiting a few weeks ago and she was able to do my hair and makeup trial for my wedding then. She took interest in my thoughts from things I had found on Pinterest and I was over the moon to see her pull the look all together. Definitely pleased with my decision to use her for my bridal make up and all my bridesmaids. I can't wait to be pampered again and look so amazing on my wedding day. Thank you again!! More...

Amazing, professional, talented makeup artist and hairdresser. I worked with her on Chris and Laura's wedding, where I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding. She made Laura's skin glow! Very little retouching needed in photoshop as Marissa did such a good. I have worked with many makeup artists and Marissa truly knows how to make your makeup look beautiful in real life and also in your photographs, which is a true talent. She is very bubbly and friendly therefore I would highly recommend her. More...

Marissa is a first class hair and make-up artist, i can highly recommend her services .
I have worked with her a great many times over the years in my studio where she has performed her makeup artistry talents on models making them look simply stunning for their photoshoots.
I've also worked with Marissa at a number of wedding venues across the North East when i have been photographing a wedding.
Her friendly and relaxing personality combined with her professional manner and amazing skills set her aside from the competition as one of the finest Makeup Artists in the North East if not the UK.
If you are looking for a bridal hair and makeup artist seriously look no further. FANTASTIC !!
