About Happy Payne

Happy Payne

Hello! I'm Happy! I'm a makeup artist whose work focuses on music artists and commercial productions, but I've come to love weddings just as much! My fun, easy-going personality makes clients feel comfortable and relaxed. I love meeting new people and can adapt to any situation. I look forward to working with you!

I have a broad range of clients and working experiences so I'm very flexible. I used to own a custom cake business and loved spending time getting to know my couples and being a part of their big day. Makeup allows me to continue to do that!

All About The Bride

Price$1,200

Description

Enjoy an exclusive, elevated makeup + hair experience for your wedding when you want all the attention just for yourself!

What’s included

Luxury Skincare
Bridal Makeup + Makeup Preview/Trial
Bridal Hair + Hair Preview/Trial
Luxe Bridal Touchup Kit
2 Hours of Touchups

You need both, a completed, signed contract and a retainer paid within 48 hours. No dates are held without both of these. Retainers are non refundable. The balance is due 14 days before the wedding as one payment. Individual payments from the bridal party are not accepted unless it's an add on service the day of the wedding. Gratuity can be paid either with your balance or on the day of the wedding if you prefer.

I've never missed a wedding yet, but on the off chance it happens I have many other awesome artists that can fill in if available. As a last resort if I cannot secure another artist I will refund ALL retainers and payments, INCLUDING your bridal preview/trial payments so that you are fully reimbursed. I believe in going above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service.

NOW!!! Many brides are waiting until a couple months before their wedding to book based on information on wedding sites or bridal magazines. Don't wait! I'm already booking 2027 dates!

Great Team
Her team was super professional and personable. They were able to work with a variety of skin types from women in their early twenties to late 70s. Everyone felt beautiful!

Happy is the best!
From the moment we booked Happy Payne to do our wedding hair and makeup, we knew we were in good hands. Happy's communication style was clear, sweet, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Happy's calming presence was exactly what I needed to feel relaxed and confident. Her work was absolutely beautiful - she created a natural look that was perfect for our outdoor ceremony. All of our guests and bridesmaids raved about how gorgeous everyone's hair and makeup turned out. Happy truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was special. We are so grateful for her talent and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a skilled, personable beauty professional.

Thank you Jamie! I loved the laid-back, fun vibe we had going the whole morning. Your mom was a special treat too. Fingers crossed I'll see you again soon at Rachel's wedding! All the best to you and Trent!

Happy should be your first and only choice!
OMG, where do I even start?! From the very beginning, when I was trying to choose a makeup artist for my wedding day, Happy stood out immediately. Her work is impeccable, she truly listens, and her communication is always a top priority. And of course — she completely over-delivered. She arrived right on time, exactly as promised, and every single one of my bridesmaids (including me!) was absolutely thrilled with our makeup. Honestly, without exaggeration… SHE IS THE BEST! Also, she is very funny without even trying, definitely a plus! Thank you, Happy! For making me feel like a rockstar on my wedding day!!!

Cristina! This review!!! I feel so lucky when I'm chosen by someone as special and kind as you! Your family and friends were all so genuinely warm. When Marta came in she greeted me as if we were old friends while your brothers walked around happily snapping photos. I felt like part of the family. Clearly you mean a lot to everyone around you and I couldn't be happier that I got to spend the day with you!

AMAZING
Happy Payne is the sweetest wedding beauty professional I've had the pleasure of working with. Her compassionate and understanding communication style put me at ease, and the quality of her work was truly outstanding. Happy was reliable, helpful, and respectful throughout the process, even fixing a last-minute blemish for my fiancé. As someone with skin issues, I was worried about how my makeup would hold up, but Happy ensured it stayed flawless all day, making me feel confident and secure. She listened to my inspiration and brought it to life in the most amazing way. Happy's talent is truly impressive, and I'm so grateful for the role she played in making our special day perfect!

Allison, thank you for this amazing review! I swear I say this with every wedding, but I feel like I have the best brides! I know we talked at length about your skin concerns and I'm so happy we were able to get it dialed in perfectly for your day. Thank you so much for choosing me!

Best Bridal Makeup Ever
Happy Payne is by far the best makeup artist in Tennessee. She is personable, respectful, efficient, and reliable, which helped calm my anxieties on my wedding day. Happy made me look naturally beautiful and glowing, and she also made my bridesmaids look absolutely stunning. The quality of her work is incredible - her makeup skills gave me a natural, glowing look that was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Happy Payne to any bride looking for an amazing beauty professional who will make you feel calm and confident on your special day.

Thank you Sam! I knew we were a match the moment I found out you were a Bills fan too! :) You completely flipped the script on the makeup for the wedding day and I loved it even better than the trial! Your bridesmaids were all super fun and your mom was the best. Here's to many happy years for you and Lance!
