STACIE OTTO
That's me! Let me tell you a little about myself and then introduce you to the other artists that will assist me on larger weddings! Prior to professionally entering the world of hair and makeup, I completed the Disney College Program in the entertainment department, graduated with a Bachelors in Marketing from Columbia College Chicago and was a wedding planner for a Chicago catering company for over 3 years. I moved from Chicago to Cleveland and started my professional career in the hair and makeup field in 2007. I am a certified artist and was a manager with MAC Cosmetics for over 7 years within Nordstrom and freestanding MAC stores in Ohio and Florida. I have been in Orlando since 2010. In 2014, I took a leap of faith and started doing weddings full time. It's what truly makes me happy and it shows in my personality and in the quality of my work. Hundreds of brides have walked down the aisle after sitting in my chair. When it comes to makeup, I like to bring out each woman's natural beauty, focusing on perfecting the skin and enhancing the client's favorite features. With hair, I love the challenge of recreating inspiration photos from social media or coming up with my own creation. Your wedding day will run smoothly and efficiently in my chair where you will feel more like an old friend than a client. I have two amazing boys, Zack and Jake and you will find me spending most of my free time with them at Disney. I can pretty much answer any question you might have regarding Disney World! I also love to read, cook, decorate my home, workout and look very forward to our world getting back to normal so I can start traveling again and Disney Cruising quarterly!
