WARNING! DO NOT book with Rada Jacobs. I had a transgender woman attend my wedding party and Rada started spewing hate speech at her causing her to pee herself and cry. All she wants do is dehumanize and humiliate lgbtq+ people. Rada you are a horrible makeup artist because your makeup melted in an hour and because of the human being you are. No makeup can undo you.
NO bride should have to experience what I experienced the day of my wedding. To begin with, Rada's team was 1 HOUR late to arrive for hair/makeup on my wedding day. My wedding coordinators had sent the schedule to Rada's coordinator MULTIPLE times, and they agreed and confirmed in writing for a 6am start time.
I tried calling/texting Jocelyn (Rada's coordinator) to ask where the makeup artists were, but her phone was turned off and I was unable to reach her the entire morning. In fact, I had no way of reaching anyone… I had to frantically wait and pray that they would eventually arrive. When they FINALLY arrived, they had no care or remorse for the fact that we were running behind schedule.
Despite the time urgency, they refused to do anything to help the situation by stating they did not want to "half ass their work." However, they had already "half assed" their work by showing up an hour late. I had to forfeit my bridesmaids reveal pictures and robe pictures because we had no time to spare. I was told in advance that the bridesmaids would be ready by 10:30am. On my wedding day, Rada’s team finished getting the bridesmaids ready only at 12:15pm… almost 2 hours behind schedule. Inexcusable.
Every wedding vendor knows how critical a timeline is for a wedding to ensure things go smoothly. Rada's makeup team was unapologetic and rude. I did not get to enjoy the morning of my wedding like I had imagined- I was immensely stressed, and that stress was palpable throughout the room and in my pictures. If you are a wedding coordinator, beware of this company. If you are a bride and want to have a smooth wedding, DO NOT HIRE THIS TEAM!
