FBJ Weddings

FBJ Weddings was founded in 2009 by Joy Pfister, who started it as a solo venture focused on on-location bridal hair and makeup. It has since grown into a team of more than 20 professionals. The business describes its portfolio as covering 17 years of beauty services.

Artists travel to the client's getting-ready location. For each wedding, the business puts together a custom team based on how many services are needed, and typically requires a minimum of six services per artist. Clients who are planning ahead are encouraged to get in touch 8 to 12 months before the wedding day. Custom quotes are requested through a form on the website, and questions can also go to the contact email, weddingsfbj@gmail.com.

Bridal hair and makeup trials are available in Richmond and Virginia Beach. Amanda Lauren handles trial quotes for Richmond, while Joy Pfister handles them for Virginia Beach and the wider Hampton Roads area. According to the business, it has more than 114 reviews on The Knot and more than 151 on WeddingWire. Publications that have covered it include Virginia Bride, Tidewater and Tulle, and Richmond Bride, among others.

Hair styles are shaped to each client, ranging from classic and elegant to soft, whimsical, modern or romantic, and makeup is customized to the client's skin and style.
