There are not enough good things I could say about Marnel.
For future brides I will First say - she is an incredible artist. Her makeup and hair skills are truly exceptional. Marnel will listen to you and meet you where you’re at to achieve your perfect look. She is an absolutely dedicated professional. She is endlessly kind, patient, and up for a challenge (I have the hair of 9 people and Marnel didn’t flinch - she loved it… She made all dreams, however lofty, come true!)
Secondly, but no less vitally, I will say: Marnel is a joy. She’s absolutely the woman you want in your corner during the inevitable stress of your wedding day and in the run-up to it. She is both a pillar, and a vibe. We were all sad when Marnel left!
Marnel - I felt like a vision on my wedding day. My makeup was literally flawless through tears, buckets of sweat and a full day and night of rollercoaster emotions. You are a visionary & endlessly talented. Thank you!'s

Ladies, Marnel is everything and more you want (and need) in a MUA. Quite frankly, she's the best in the business. Book her for your wedding glow-up, you won't regret it, PROMISE!!!

Marnel's talent doesn't just lie in her ability to accentuate your favourite features, but to make you fall in love with your imperfections as well.
She's an absolute bundle of love, so calm and collected, yet she serves perfectly witty humour when a bride most needs it.
I have recommended her a thousand times and will continue to do so.
She's always the brightest highlight (no pun intended) of a brides wedding necessities.
Side note, we got married in a chapel that reached temperatures of 40°c and I still looked flawless. Love her dearly and THANK YOU again for making me feel like a billion dollar trophy wife.

Marnel is awesome, finish en klaar. Haha Serious version: Marnel's talent far exceeds her MUA abilities, she treats her clients with compassion, honesty and wisdom.
You are guaranteed to look flawless and feel gorgeous. Marnel knows how to not only bring your vision to life but truly accentuate your features and let your essence shine through. It is always a pleasure to work with Marnel.
I would recommend her in a heartbeat and please remember to thank her (or a hug), she deserves the praise

Thank-you so much for the incredible hair and make-up you did for me on my wedding day! You made feel so very beautiful ❤
I really enjoy doing my own make-up myself so deciding not to do it on my wedding day was a really big deal for me and it was really important that I chose someone who I had complete trust in. From that first trial I knew I was in great hands!
My bridesmaids and Mum's were all soo happy with their hair and make-up, and we got so many compliments on the day! I can't thank-you enough

3) she’s damn bloody good at her job! Your make up will be flawless.

7) you’ll feel like someone touched you with a magic wand once she’s done!
8) she’s patient and helps you find exactly the what you want and with perfect execution
9) for such magic, she’s honestly so reasonably priced.
10) just book her, don’t wait, you'll be sorry if you do!!

I did a lot of research regarding wedding make up and hair. I knew I wanted the airbrush technique and Marnel was recommended highly to me.
From the trial to the follow up meeting to the wedding day, Marnel came with her super kind personality and made sure that I felt comfortable and confident that my exact dream look would be achieved. And boy, did she not disappoint. I felt like Cinderella on the day and even managed to get a tear from my groom. Both my hair and make up as well as that of my my three bridesmaids and two moms looked exquisite. I was very sad to wash it all off at 5 in the morning as it still looked amazing.
Worth every penny spent, I highly recommend this kind, calm and fun loving lady.
