You should go with what you are comfortable with. We went with freelancers, because we were able to find someone within our budget who would come to our ceremony venue--which simplified our morning. But if the boutique works for you, why switch?
My makeup and hair artist are free-lancers. They rent space in a salon when they do trials. They are real vendors but have no need for a store-front because of the nature of their services. Likewise, our DJ had us meet him at coffee shops.

I'm booking a makeup artist and hair person for my wedding date kind of at the last minute. There is a bridal boutique that has my date available, they do airbrush makeup, etc. They responded quickly and will send me an agreement to hold the date etc. I am happy because they said they were all booked except for my wedding date, at the last minute, so it works out perfectly.
The other person is a private vendor, more like a freelancer, who works directly out of her home. So not even really a professional person, but more random.
When I was looking for florists, there was one that was like that, "worked out of her home."
For some reason I am not comfortable working with "freelancer" people.
I think I would rather go for the professional boutique? (Just as I am choosing the florist from an actual shop.) Do you think this is wise? Do you think that is weird of me to prefer the *real vendors* as opposed to the private people who do it more like a hobby or something?
Do you think I should stick with the bridal boutique?
