My Experience With Jeanine Mangan
in New Jersey
I'm aware that she has allot of fans on here and I'm not going to criticize her work but I want to relay my experience with her so those of you who are considering hiring her are aware.
I live in FL. but my wedding is in NY. She knew I was going to be in NY for a short time when we scheduled my trial. She also knew that I had an engagement photo session immediately following my trial with her. My trial was for 9:30 AM. At 10:50 the night before she emailed my wedding planner and canceled. Her reason was that she had a photo shoot that went over to the next day. I'm just glad I found out how unreliable she was before I booked her for my wedding.

EDIT - I just want to say that I actually loved my trial with both Jeanine and Jill for different reasons. They are both so talented, listened to my requests and created an amazing look. I am not sure what is making me unsure - it might be the stress of the wedding planning as I can't decide about cocktail music either... this is so important that it can't go wrong!!
I think comparing canceling a trial and not showing up for a wedding is a bit unfair in my opinion.
Cindy- I heard one person say Jilyan cancelled for an emergency, but never multiple people- are there links to other posts saying this? if so Id like to see them as it would effect my booking her Thanks

I don't remember the exact threads, I think one of the girls had PM'd me. i can remember 3 separate incidents. Maybe if you search the board for her name you can find them? I'll see what I can find.
I loved Jeanine's work, but because of how she screwed up the timing of our wedding day, my sister, who's getting married this December, won't use her. And she's the only vendor of mine she's not using.

</div><div>agallucio sure writes A LOT of posts about Jeanine Mangan and how great she is. In fact, MOST of her posts are about that.....interesting!!!!!</div>
I can't make any excuses or explain why she did what she did as I obviously don't know the full story, but for anyone waffling about whether or not to use Jeanine, I'll just throw my two cents in. I went for a trial with her and she was absolutely wonderful. My makeup came out better than I could have hoped for and she was a total sweetheart. Also, I've been in contact with her every couple of months since the trial because of various changes I've had to make and she's been 100% accommodating and understanding.
Again, I'm so sorry you went through what you did, but as I'm sure you can tell from the posts above (and from other threads) that mention issues with other MUAs as well, there are, unfortunately, always going to be girls who have bad experiences with every vendor out there for one reason or another.
For the girls who already booked her I would be calling her up today and expressing my fears of her cancelling last minute.
[QUOTE]Wow it sounds like just from reading this thread that Jeanine has a lot of family emergencies around weddings and trials!! From the reviews I have seen on this post alone why would you want to risk it!! For the girls who already booked her I would be calling her up today and expressing my fears of her cancelling last minute.

I used Jeanine for my wedding and never had a problem. I recommend her to everyone and still would. I don't think anyone who has booked her as anything to fear. I don't see anywhere that she has doesn't show up or cancelled someone's wedding.
