"OMGAHHH, I’ve booked 7 out of 7 (100%) of the wedding enquiries I received since completing this Bridal Business Class that was just over a week ago!!!! I’m elated and slightly emotional. Everyone should revise their potential bridal business per Donna’s recommendations - Do it NOW because I promise you will get results! THANK YOU!!!!"
- Sharleen Cawili Carlos Orange, California
"WOW… This bridal class in NY, and the expenses to fly to it have already totally paid off in less than 2 weeks of me taking it! Today I collected $2,000 up front from brides at a bridal event and a 50% deposit (over $1,100) from a bride that I haven’t even met or done a preview for! I really thought that it would never be possible to collect a 50% deposit of entire wedding party booking in the 1st phone conversation, before even meeting them! WOW. Seriously, the course title is INDEED fitting because it has totally changed my business into a ‘Booming Bridal Business."
- Sandra Saenz Dallas Texas
"The Donna Mee Methods really work!!!!! Today I met with a bride for a consultation and with confidence, I presented my new, "Gold Bridal Package" and I got her deposit AND scheduled her preview appointment, along with selling 2 additional packages. I've taken many courses with many other educators, but no one has ever covered or even touched on the things Donna teaches. I'm glad I traveled from Texas to California for the Bridal Master Classes and Ill be traveling all the way to Australia to train with Donna again!"
- Elyse Feinstein El Paso Texas
"Donna these past few days in the Creating a Booming Bridal Business course have been mind blowing! I just want to keep listening to you talk because you're a wealth of information. Thank you so much for nudging us in the right direction!"
- Sarah Araza Orange County, California
"Donna, thanks so much for the wealth of information you shared during the bridal workshop. So much information, it is so empowering! I’ve taken several of Donna’s classes and be assured that you your will be blown away by the amount of information you will learn. So much of my successes and having a makeup studio, I can attribute to her classes, you won’t regret it!"
- Noemi Gonzales Laguna Hills, California
"I have attended Donna’s bridal course 4 times! I do it every time she is in town. Why? Because she updates it every season and adds more content so the wealth of knowledge is never fully absorbed. This January I was highlighted as one of the top 10 bridal artists in O.C. That didn’t happen because of trial and error, it happened because of this classes knowledge, strategic planning and investing in my personal development. So should you take this course? The real question is, are you ready to become one of the best, most respected artists out there? If yes, THEN DO IT!"
- Jeannette Minera Pulecio Irvine, California
"I did this class and it is awesome… I used to do a lot of weddings in Europe for many years and taught bridal makeup. But Donna’s bridal class showed me new options and how to do it better. I would say not just how to do bridal business but how to do bridal business successfully. Since her class I can see they are happier with what I do. They even book me more such as eyebrows, lash extensions and facials….so from each wedding I have more business than before. If you want to know how to do successful bridal business, I absolutely recommend this class."
- Alex Dejdarova Los Angeles, California
"Donna Mee is one of the best educators that I have come across in the industry… I have learned so much from her and it was truly a light bulb experience. If given the opportunity I would not hesitate to do more of her classes!"
- Iris Maglanoc London, England
"I’ve been in the industry for 12+ years and each course or webinar I take with Donna, she blows me away with a wealth of information I didn't know. It isn’t just about makeup; you’ll gain so much more."
- Sharla Mohney Ann Arbor, Michigan USA
"Donna has so much information to give and she hands it all to you on a silver platter. Do what she has proven that works, and practice until you know your worth and then... the sky is the limit! If we’re not willing to invest in ourselves how can we convince our clients to invest in us?"
- Nina Marie Diaz Thorton, Colorado USA
"I’ve taken all of Donna Mee’s main courses and her successful freelance career workshop and I have not been the least bit disappointed. I would strongly recommend any of her courses to makeup artists who are serious about their career, Donna will help you develop the tools needed and build your confidence level at the same time."
- Brianna Ruben Huntington Beach, California
"Ever since taking this class I have been able to cover a checklist of important things to ask brides, but in a way that’s completely conversational for a more personal experience for my brides. Now I better understand what they are wanting and what to recommend for their makeup that will fit with the style of wedding they are having. Because of Donna I have been able to build more trust and confidence with my bridal clients by covering important details which has now resulted in getting a 100% booking rating from enquiries. Thank you Donna!"
