Elite Bridal Beauty

e best blowout and just worked so much magic on my hair, I knew I wanted him to do my wedding hair. Luckily he worked with the talented beauty Cherise who specializes is enhancing your natural beauty with soft glam. I noticed a lot of other bridal makeup I see is makeup done mainly for photos, just tons of layers but Cherise is an expert and matches you with perfect shades to compliment your features. They both knew exactly what products to bring for the setting of my wedding (hello hot & humid!) my makeup & hair lasted through heat & wind for my outdoor weddings. They styled me for my Hindu wedding & vow ceremony and made it feel like I was getting ready with friends. I truly love both of them! They were a dream to work with and it makes me kind of sad that it’s over! They made me feel my most beautiful not one but two days in a row. They are the epitome of dream team and I hope to work with them again in the future. If you’re looking to feel like something out of a bridal magazine hire these two!!! They are such a pleasure to be around and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND - don’t think just book emmmm!!!

ight! I felt like the best version of myself that day. Leanna did my hair and she was incredible as well. Super friendly and willing to try a few versions of my style during the trial. My hair looked looked so shiny and had just the right amount of wave. I would highly recommend Elite Bridal Beauty to anyone seeking a timeless, natural look!

el our best!

away with how patient and understanding they were. They were so talented, had clean high end products, and what seemed like the ability to read my mind. I coordinated through Cherise who was out on maternity leave at the time and she was the sweetest person and responded timely. She even made a surprise appearance at the wedding! Sarah and Cherise provided natural beautiful looks for me, my bridal party, and two moms also nervous about professional glam. They were so understanding and super fun to work with. Xavier created a beautiful intricate up-do for me and even included a hair piece I brought last minute. The team was so prepared the whole morning seemed effortless. Cannot recommend this team enough, they will put you at ease.

am-ified by the Elite team. Kerin and Leanna arrived on time and ensured we kept on schedule - they were consummate professionals. They took time to understand each woman's unique beauty requests, and ensured that we were all comfortable, confident and feeling beautiful before leaving their chairs. They participated in our banter and enhanced the happy mood of the day. Personally, my makeup felt classic, fresh and natural, and my hair was the perfect balance of clean and swept off my face but still romantic. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to the Elite team. I highly recommend working with Kerin and Leanna - they were amazing to partner with and made me feel so confident.

ay when Cherise and her team showed up. They were incredible to work with, so sweet and supportive through the entire process, and made the wedding day run so incredibly smooth (even with 2 picky brides, 7 bridesmaids, 2 jr. bridesmaids, and 2 mothers of the bride)!! Cherise and her team are masters of the natural, glam, glowy look that is so hard to find, especially on Long Island. We would have them for our wedding every time if we could do it over!! Not to mention, that we just wanted them to stay and hang out!!! Cannot thank Cherise and Elite Bridal enough for our amazing wedding day beauty!!!

still cant get over my hair! Xavier was just the best and created the perfect curl. My bridal party loved the rest of the Elite Bridal Beauty team and they looked beautiful! Cherise and Xavier are the kindest/sweetest/friendliest and it was a pleasure to have them by my side for my wedding weekend. Touch ups are a must! I highly recommend Elite Bridal Beauty to all brides!

gy from the Elite team was infectious! I also felt like Cherise really listened to what I wanted for my makeup, and executed flawlessly- I also couldn't believe how natural and beautiful the lashes they used on us looked! We had an incredible experience, and I can't wait to book the team again for all of my makeup and hair needs in the future!

keup, Leanna for hair) ahead of time and get to know them, as well as take the time to get my look just right. The team was so patient and kind and worked through every step of the process with me to make sure it was perfect. I was also happy to have the products tested on my skin to make sure I wouldn't have a reaction on the wedding day. Once the wedding day came I was able to just relax and know that they would get it just right. I also had beautiful flowers put in my hair that we worked through one by one and it turned out perfectly. Everything also stayed in place for the entire night which was a miracle!

ook like me, but enhanced, and that is 110% their vibe. Can’t recommend them enough.

to have found such an amazing team. Thank you Elite!!!

hey were so great at my trial coming to the hotel we were going to get ready at. They were fun and bubbly, so personable and easy to work with. The both worked with me during the trial to get the exact look I wanted and I felt great knowing they would be working with me again. The end results on my wedding day were SPECTACULAR! They looked even better than the trial and Leanna got my hair looking exactly the way I wanted, and Chloe applied my lipstick in a way that lasted all day. I even brought some pressed powder to do touch ups throughout the day, and I never needed it. Just some PH Lip Balm to keep my fresh and that was it! Cherise and Jessica were fabulous to all my bridesmaids. Cherise did a beautiful job on my sister's makeup, she got a perfect smokey eye fo her! Jessica is a hoot and a half and she really kept our group lively! She did a beautiful job with my mom's extremely curly hair! This was the most fun group to work with, and they really kicked off our day in the best way. The conversation was flowing, they were complimentary to my mom, my sister, bridesmaids and all of my husband's family who were in/attending the wedding. Everyone was so attentive and took so much time with each person. We had a large group of about 9 or 10 women with an 6am start time, and they had us ready just in time! My anxiety kicked in right when everyone was wrapping up I had to run and get dressed (Jessica even helped me get my top on with my hair, thank goodness for her!) and do my first look with my new husband and did not get enough time to genuinely say thank you to each and every woman who helped us out, but I hope they know they helped us make our wedding day perfect. I felt like we gained 4 friends! Total bliss working with Elite Bridal Beauty! You will not be disappointed!

up look and the soft loose curls! I felt so pretty and am so happy I went with Elite Bridal Beauty! Sarah who did my spray tan (who works in connection with Elite Bridal Beauty, I believe) is awesome as well!!

hair piece too. They are kind and fun to be around. Seamlessly fitting into our group and enhance the vibe while we were getting ready. We really clicked, they listened to all my wants at the trial and were fantastic! Thank you again!!

mendation from a family member. Let me tell you this team exceeded my expectations. Cherise (the founder) is a savant with makeup. She coaxes the natural beauty out of each subject to reveal an enhanced, natural and radiant version of yourself. She is also brilliant with adding the single lashes, they look real! The makeup also lasted from 11 in the morning through my after party. Xavier did my hair and it was also perfect. My hair was so shiny and my curls old Hollywood glam. Paige (makeup) and Leanna (hair) were also part of our team and all of my bridesmaids looked stunning and could not compliment the team enough. A side note - I think it’s rare that everyone is happy with both hair and makeup when so many are getting it done, which I feel is really a testament to this team. If your date is available DO NOT HESITATE and book now :)

ked in to make sure everyone liked their hair and makeup as well as did touch ups. I have never seen any other hair and makeup artists do this. I thought this was fantastic and reassured me that my friends and family were happy with their looks. My hair and makeup looked fabulous all day in hot and humid conditions. I cannot thank them enough for the work and for making my day so special. They are hundred and ten percent worth it and I will definitely book them again for other events I have!

envisioned - natural, glowy and pretty. I felt like myself, which is exactly what I wanted. Cherise and Xavier are beyond talented and so professional (and fun!) to work with. I honestly don't have enough great things to say!

are incredibly talented and brought such good vibes to the entire getting ready portion of the day - they are so kind and have the calming energy you will want to be around morning of! My family and small bridal party all looked gorgeous and we’re thrilled with how they looked. It made my so happy knowing everyone felt so beautiful and we’re able to enjoy the day feeling their best. Would absolutely recommend!!

Until I booked a trial with Cherise (makeup) and Xavier (hair). I was absolutely blown away by them. When it came to my rehearsal dinner and wedding they were incredible. I did not stress AT ALL. What could have easily been one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning for me (hair & makeup) was THE BEST. I was able to relax and just ENJOY the entire weekend. My mom, MIL and bridesmaids were also impressed by the Elite Bridal Beauty team. Hiring them was worth every penny and I was so happy that they were there for touch ups. Our pictures are starting to come back and I am speechless. I had a vision for what I hoped I would look like as a bride. They NAILED it and then some. I will forever be grateful for Cherise and Xavier for being a part of my wedding weekend and making it so special for me, my friends, and my family.

was gorgeous! I received so many compliments and felt beautiful on my wedding day. My groom (Peter), had the best reaction down the aisle. It is a memory I will never forget. It is rare to find a beauty team that enhances your natural beauty without completely transforming the way you look. It was so important to me to look like myself (the woman my groom fell in love with), but glammed up! You both are so talented and kind! I cannot thank you both enough! I absolutely LOVE you both.

ough my wedding should have literally been the last thing on her mind, she had me covered. She reorganized the makeup and hair team (from the hospital!) and sent me an email apologizing (absolutely no need for that!) and explaining how she had reorganized the team slightly to make sure my bridal party and I were all covered. Cherise -- who had, of course, done a phenomenal job on my makeup trial -- filled Sarah in on exactly what I was looking for from my wedding day makeup and Sarah, like Cherise, is clearly a magician because it was perfect. Sam did such a beautiful job with my wedding hair; she made it look natural (but movie natural, with perfect waves), and it lasted through a little rain and lots of sweaty dancing late into the night. The rest of the team, Gabbi and Alyssa, made my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids feel and look beautiful. If I could give the team 100 out of 5, I would. P.S. I have been meaning to write this review for almost 3 years – my wedding was in June 2018 in Southampton, NY – and while the delay is entirely on me, the fact that I have been thinking about this for so long is a testament to how incredible the team is, and how gob-smacked I still am by Cherise’s dedication to her brides. This is the first review I’ve ever written on the internet, by the way 😊

r, and they exceeded expectations. I don't usually wear that much makeup and Cherise was amazing at capturing the natural yet elevated look I was going for. And Xavier nailed the hairstyle even when I couldn't fully capture it myself in words - a true miracle worker! Cherise was also very responsive and a true professional. They were both incredibly kind and easy to work with, from the first time I reached out to the trial to the morning of our wedding. And even though we sized down to a small, intimate event with just our immediate family, they helped make everything feel so special. They truly went above and beyond for myself, my mom and my sister, and everyone remarked how beautiful all of our hair and makeup looked throughout the day and even at the very end of the night. At one point my husband and I went out to the beach next to our venue to take portraits in about 20 degree weather with huge wind gusts, and thanks to Cherise and Xavier everything still looked beautiful. I still feel so lucky that they were able to make it work for us on a holiday weekend with short notice, and I could not imagine my wedding day without them. Highly, highly recommend!!

ross Cherise. I went for a trial and fell in love with Cherise as an artist, a person and her impeccable talent - I left counting down the days until I could sit in her makeup chair! I can say with 100% certainty you can trust Cherise to make you up to be the very best version of yourself for any special occasion. Cherise is professional, kind and caring, TALENTED (cannot stress her talent enough) trustworthy and just the energy and presence you need leading up to any special event! I am a forever fan!

d not listen, or made me look not like myself. And then I met Cherise, and now I wish she could do my makeup every day! :) Cherise is patient, kind, caring and so thoughtful when it comes to making you look and feel your best for a special occasion. Beyond all of her amazing qualities, Cherise stuck by me through the planning, postponing, re-planning, and re-postponing of Covid wedding craziness! She fit me into her already busy schedule to ensure I had makeup and hair covered for my mini-mony that came together very quickly this summer, AND she has ensured she will be there for the big celebration we hope to throw next year. If you are looking for a makeup artist who just gets it, truly look no further (but hurry up and book because she is popular!!!)

th my hair and had two trials, on the day of my wedding Gabbi read my vibe and helped me decide on a completely different style than planned, she’s absolutely fabulous And talented. Kerin was beyond talented and made me look like myself but a cover girl version. Every email and call was returned ASAP by elite bridal beauty, Cherise helped match me with two stellar, talented, and beautiful ladies. The best compliment I got on my Big day is that I looked stunning and these ladies and elite bridal beauty are the reasons!!!! I will definitely use them again

nd making the whole process fun, easy, and enjoyable! Highly recommend!!!

midst all of the covid problems with my wedding, Cherise made me feel at ease. She came to my mothers house to do my trial and perfectly recreated the same look the day of my wedding. I couldn't have been happier with the way my makeup turned out and how it made me feel so pretty. She works with Xavier and I needed a hair person so I booked him as well. Xavier came with Cherise to my mothers house for my hair trial and perfectly created the look I was going for and then perfectly recreated that same look the day of my wedding. I was so happy to be able to work with both of them because they are a great team and the morning flowed beautifully with me and all my bridesmaids and my mom. They both were fantastic and 10/10 would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Cherise and Xavier for making me feel and look the best on the most important day of my life!

made me look like the best version of myself - a natural glow. They were so professional, patient, kind, funny and an absolute pleasure to work with (and of course they use the best, clean beauty products!). I couldn't have asked for a better experience and wished we could do glam every weekend!

ir and they were so patient with me also I was very particular about the amount of makeup and Cherise nailed it. I would recommend them 100 times over to anyone. Thank you!!!

member of my bridal party feel comfortable and beautiful. Her product suggestions were amazing, and I still wear the lip gloss she gave me on my wedding nearly every day! She really is incredible at what she does!

big event I can use them for!

o done some makeup lessons with me, and is such a great teacher! I can’t wait to continue to use Cherise and her team for future events! Thank you for being so amazing!!

nd for all hair and make up needs!

sional, timely, so courteous and kind- best of all he got the desired looks down 100%. Definitely book with Elite- you don’t be disappointed.

e was very easy to work with from the beginning and extremely accommodating!!

hair and makeup. I absolutely recommend Cherise and her team, they are the best.

ighly recommend her.

ng. That being said, of course I wanted to find someone who was talented in hair and makeup, but for me their personality and presence in the room and how they made me feel was equally as important, if not more. From the first time I had messaged Cherise and we began to plan what I wanted and setting up my trial I could tell we were going to get along great. She spoke to me like a friend, even through text before we met. Meeting her and Xavier, who did my hair, in person for my trial put me at such ease! I knew they were who I wanted before even looking in the mirror! Chatting to them was as if we knew each other already, my Mom was right there with me and she was made to feel extremely welcome as well even though she was there just to watch! Cherise and Xavier are a literal DREAM TEAM when it comes to putting you at ease, making the bride feel the most special in the room while still making your entire bridal party look the best they've ever looked! Every one of us was SO happy with how we looked it was the most perfect start to the most perfect day. Side note: We happened to have a hurricane just in time to leave my hotel and head to my first look and they stayed late to wrap me up and protect this hair and makeup from the storm, one of the flowers in my hair blew off as I was getting in the car and Xavier leaped in the back seat and did some last minute touch ups as I was out the door! <3 Another Side Note: Cherise - CUTEST PREGNANT LADY EVER! The fact that shes worked so hard throughout her pregnancy and devoted herself to her brides really tells something about her work ethic. I will really miss these two!! If guys are reading this - THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

and Sarah for my makeup and I have never felt more beautiful. Xaviar worked miracles on everyone’s hair.

ands and felt so relieved and excited that she would be doing my makeup. She is a true professional, incredibly organized, responsive and on top of things and amazing at her job. All of my bridesmaids, my mom and my mother in law LOVED their makeup and loved how sweet Cherise and her team was! Book Cherise and her team - you will be so glad that you did!!

s amazing and I had a general idea of what I wanted, but he knew the exact way to make the style come to life and it looked great. They were amazing! Everyone that got hair and makeup done looked beyond beautiful because of their talents.

e exudes a sense of warmth about her that instantly makes you feel at ease, along with the confidence that assures you are in good hands. She has the ability to be fully present with her clients and grasp exactly what you like/do not like. These are the types of qualities you want in a makeup artist, especially during YOUR big day! She makes your vision come to reality. Just like she was able to do for me, my mom and my two grandmas. We all cannot wait to use her again and again and again!!!!!

ed! Cherise and her team are incredibly professional, helpful, attentive and so so talented at what they do. Throughout the whole planning process, they got back to us right away with any questions we had, and were so easy to work with. We truly can't say enough good things about them and will definitely be booking for future events we have :) Thank you so much to Cherise and her team for helping our squad to feel so beautiful on our wedding day!!

r for my hair was wonderful. He understood the look I was going for and created the perfect beachy-bridal waves. They both did the hair and makeup for my sister and the mothers in the wedding and they all looked absolutely stunning and were so happy with their looks. Cherise and Xavier are both so easy to get along with, extremely talented, and really listen to what you're envisioning. I never doubted or was nervous about what the final result would be. I would choose them again in a heartbeat - no question. Thank you Cherise & Xavier for making my wedding perfect!

hey NAILED it. My mom was sooo worried about getting her makeup professionally done and they made her look amazing. My bridesmaids and sister in law also all looked so incredible - they all said it was the best hair and makeup they've had for a wedding and trust me, they've all been in A TON of weddings haha. Cherise and Gabby know how to make you look like the best version of yourself but not overdone. I wanted a dewey, fresh, glowy look and Cherise is the BEST for that. Gabby did my beach wave hair perfectly and the cutest updo for my bridesmaid and a super glam Hollywood wave for my sister. One of the best decisions I made in wedding planning!

er expected! Not only are they extremely talented, but they are both so fun to hang out with- my bridesmaids and I had the best day getting ready with them!

expectations were high. These girls nailed it. Their enthusiasm and professionalism saved my June wedding. My bridal party loved them as well and everyone looked beautiful. The spray tan is a must and so natural looking. Highly recommend Elite Bridal Beauty for any occasion where you want to look your best!

y of the event Sarah & Xavier did our makeup and hair. They were so much fun and distracted me from worrying that the weather would not clear up before the event started (it did!). And they were so great at their actual jobs! My makeup was flawless and lasted all night and my hair was absolutely perfect. I didn't do a trial but they had looked at my inspiration photos and knew what I wanted before they got there. I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with! Oh and if you need a spray tan use them also! It was the best, natural spray tan.

s in the best hands after I did my trial with Cherise, making the getting ready process stress free!

my best on the big day. She's super professional and sweet. Highly recommend her!

m and made my day totally enjoyable. I am so happy that I found them because my look for rehearsal dinner and my wedding were absolutely stunning. I have never felt more beautiful. Bottom line, if you want to look stunning and have an amazing team supporting you/your girls on your big day, choose Elite Bridal Beauty.

xtremely picky about how my makeup is done and wanted something more natural and radiant for my wedding day. I’m so glad I trusted them for the job because they nailed exactly what I wanted and made the whole experience of getting ready on my wedding day so fun and relaxed.

ed, natural but photo ready. Xavier did my hair which came out even better then I could have imagined. My entire wedding party looked fabulous! Cherise and her team were professional, patient, and a pleasure to work with! I can't imagine the day without them!

ok you're going for. She is so incredibly sweet and has such a calming effect on you which is amazing on a chaotic wedding morning! I had a trial with Cherise where I tried airbrush makeup for the first time, and I'm so happy I did. I was so nervous about the airbrush makeup drying me out, but Cherise took all the necessary precautions to avoid that. I stayed in communication with her between my trial and wedding day and sent pictures of how my trial makeup lasted throughout the night so that she could make a few minor tweaks on the actual day of my wedding. And she nailed it! I wasn't oily, I wasn't dry, and my makeup stayed on perfectly the entire day and night, I didn't have to do any touchups other than adding a little more lipstick after dinner. You will not regret going with Cherise she is simply amazing at what she does!

ase, listening to what I wanted and even coming back to my house a second time to experiment with eyelashes that would give me the most natural look possible. On my wedding day, she gave me, my maid of honor and the entire bridal party glowing, natural makeup that lasted through the ceremony, pictures, dinner and dancing. We looked like ourselves...only better!

e is so amazingly talented!! Some makeup artists do the same eye/lip/face on everyone, but Cherise really treats everyone individually and she does everyone's makeup to bring out their natural beauty. She is truly a perfectionist and that is exactly what I want in someone who is doing my makeup on my wedding day. Though I had a trial, I completely changed my mind about what I wanted the day of my wedding and Cherise was right on board with it and nailed the look perfectly. I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful and confident in my whole life than I did on my wedding day. Additionally, I'm usually someone who checks their makeup constantly and I had no time to on the day of my wedding, but it was fine because everything stayed perfectly the whole night! I should also mention that Cherise and Alexa both did my bridesmaids' makeup and they all looked beautiful. Even beyond Cherise's talent, she is just a fun person to be around. She has a super impressive resume with experience doing makeup on celebrities and for high fashion magazine shoots, but you would never be able to tell that from talking with her because she is so humble and down to earth. She was a positive, calming presence and it was a joy to have her there on my wedding day.

team were also so sweet and fun to chat with. Recommend 1000000%!!!

and encouraging in making me look and feel exactly how I wanted. The airbrush makeup is absolutely flawless! I highly recommend Cherise and have full confidence in her services.

dding day. I couldn't be happier with how my makeup came out. Cherise was a dream to work with from day one. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Cherise!

make up and my family/bridesmaids turned out. It was completely stress free, Cherise was a pleasure to work with and my make up lasted all night! She is truly great at what she does and she listens to EXACTLY what you want! I could not recommend her more.

eet. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel and look like a princess. Do yourself a favor and book with Cherise and her team- you won’t be disappointed!

did such an incredible job—I have never felt more beautiful in my life and I still looked like myself and not heavy and overdone! I got airbrush makeup and it literally lasted all night and stayed flawless. She did makeup for my bridesmaids and mom and they all looked amazing and kept saying how much they loved how they looked all night! The whole wedding morning went by super smoothly and was so much fun. I highly recommend Cherise!

my wedding, and I am so happy how it turned out. She also did my sister and mom's make up, along with my bridesmaids who also all loved their make up. I have always struggled with my skin, and I wanted it to look perfect for my wedding. Leading up to my wedding, Cherise took the time to respond to emails I had sent asking about skin preparation and suggestions. She sent me product ideas for exfoliating and moisturizing and was always there if I needed help. Cherise also took the time to drive back to my wedding to do touch ups and make sure I was happy---she really cares about her clients. If I had to do it all again, I wouldn't choose anybody else! Thank you Cherise for making my wedding perfect.

rid me of any hesitation or fear of being "too done up". She was patient with me, as I changed my mind countless times, even last minute on the wedding day. The final product was flawless and lasted all day and way into the night. I honestly couldn't imagine getting ready on my wedding day with anyone else. She truly is the best!!
