Working with the Elite Bridal Beauty team was a highlight of my wedding! The administrative team was very responsive, organized, and helpful in addressing all of my questions throughout the process. I met with Bobby and Christina for my hair and makeup trial and was immediately at ease working with them. They did a beautiful job on my wedding morning and brought so much fun to the bridal suite. I would highly recommend using this team for your wedding!
Run, don't walk, to book Elite Beauty for your wedding or important event! I cannot emphasize enough how amazing Cherise and Xavier are to work with and I feel so lucky to have booked them for my wedding. They not only bring the most positive energy to every appointment but they listen without judgment or critique. I felt so comfortable in their hands during my wedding day and they couldn't have done a better job on my hair and makeup. I honestly could not have been more relaxed throughout my entire wedding weekend and it was largely due to them. If you're hesitating on who to book for hair or makeup because of price, I'm telling you that Elite Beauty is worth every penny. Hair and makeup are two of the most important things--if you don't like how you look, you won't feel confident in your skin on your big day (or love the pictures). Elite Beauty was the best investment.
I had the pleasure of working with the Elite Team (Bobby, Christina & Maya) for my special day and they exceeded all of mine and my girls expectations! The communication from start to finish was seamless. My Elite Team took the time to understand my vision and skin/hair concerns during the trial session. Their attentiveness to detail ensured me that they would do everything if not more to enhance my "natural" beauty look. On the day of the wedding, the team arrived right on time and incredibly prepared. They made sure not only I but all of my girls were well taken care of. Every one of my girls threw so much praise with how their looks came out. We all felt extra beautiful and confident, which helped the atmosphere enjoyable and calm. Aside from their obvious professionalism their fun personalities made the whole experience less stressful. I can't recommend Elite Bridal Beauty enough. The absolute best!!!
My entire Elite experience was incredible, and I couldn’t recommend them more! On my wedding day I wanted to feel like an elevated version of myself and Kerin couldn’t have done a better job of making my dream a reality! I felt so beautiful and my makeup exceeded all of my expectations! Leanna’s hair style held up throughout our beach wedding and I got compliments on it all night! I loved my wedding day hair SO much! The rest of the Elite artists I worked with throughout my wedding weekend were also all so incredible! Candy, Sarah, and Carina made all of my family and bridesmaids feel so beautiful and I’m so happy to have had them part of my wedding weekend! And finally, the team behind the scenes was so helpful and accommodating and I couldn’t have asked for a better booking and coordination experience!
The Elite team was truly incredible! They were so calm and accommodating, even when the fuse blew in my apartment while we were getting ready and I couldn’t get ahold of my landlord to find the fuse box (lol—we eventually got power back). They never panicked or complained through the craziness! My team made me feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt, inside and out. <3
Elite Bridal Beauty was such a pleasure to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and on my wedding day. From start to finish, all of the staff were professional, kind, and experts at their craft. Specifically Cherise and Christina were just amazing - they were patient and efficient with 9 women to work with. My bridal look exceeded all of my expectations and I highly reccomend Elite Bridal Beauty. The experience was nothing short of amazing, thank you!
I had such a wonderful experience working with Leanna, Nicole, Alanna, and Candy. They brought such wonderful energy to our bridal suite, making sure to accommodate everyone's vision for hair and makeup. My trial with Leanna and Nicole made me feel so at ease for the big day. All four stylists and artists kept to a great schedule that allowed everyone the time to get ready and feel confident for photos. My wedding did include some summer rain, and typically that does not go over well for my hair. However, my hair and makeup remained flawless the entire evening. I originally found Elite Beauty during my search for a natural make up and hair wedding look. They were exactly what I was looking for! If you a bride hoping for this look, I would consider Elite Bridal Beauty!
Cherise and her team are absolutely exceptional humans and I was so trilled with my glam - thank you Cherise!!!!!
Cherise and Xavier are an amazing duo to have by your side on your wedding day. They are both SO talented and truly the best of the best!!!
Leanna was a dream to work with! We got married June 22nd and everything went off without a hitch! Leanna was super open to changes after my trial and completely understood the look I was going for. She was very understanding and wanted to genuinely hear my feedback at each stage of the hair process. Highly recommend!
The best!!!
I could not recommend them more! Cherise and Xavier were kind, professional, personable and fun! They did such an amazing job on both hair and makeup. I really don't enjoy wearing make up and am always nervous about wearing too much. Cherise listened to everything I did and did not wanted and executed it perfectly!! She is so incredibly talented . Xavier was also unbelievable. He did two different hairstyles and both were absolute perfection. I loved everything about both. The communication leading up to my wedding was also great. They were very responsive and organized. I didn't personally work with Loretta but everyone she did was extremely happy with both hair and make up! I would absolutely recommend them. Best team I have worked with!!
Leanna was amazing! She’s not only an excellent hair stylist, but she’s so personable and made me feel like I had a friend doing my hair. Everyone in my bridal party loved their hairstyles. I loved my wedding hair style so much and it definitely made me feel super confident and beautiful. Elite was also incredible in terms of pre-wedding communication and professionalism. I couldn’t speak more highly of Elite!
Having my hair and makeup done by Elite Bridal Beauty was an incredible experience. Bobby & Ella are incredible at what they do and are great people. The entire process from the hair/makeup trial to the wedding day was seamless. I will recommend this company to many future brides.
I had the most incredible experience working with Elite Bridal Beauty for my wedding weekend in August. Xavier and Kerin went absolutely above and beyond - I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day! Not only are they incredibly talented, but they were utmost professionals and the sweetest people. They brought such positive energy and a calming presence to the entire experience. From start to finish, I was so impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail from Cherise, Tiffany, and the entire team. I had multiple bridesmaids tell me that this was their favorite hair and makeup they've ever had done for a wedding! I'm so grateful to the whole Elite Bridal team and could not recommend them more highly!!
Wonderful team. Everyone's hair and makeup came out great. I only deducted a star because there was some disorganization in the billing department and miscommunication in general. I included my 13 year old niece (she was actually 12 at the time but I know that she looks older) on the paperwork and was billed for a child then was billed again post-wedding for an adult (they later took a little off the total "as a courtesy"). I was also charged twice for someone's hair extensions (they corrected this) so just double check your bill and triple check pricing for pre teens/teens even if you mention those details on the sheet you fill out for them. Overall, would recommend to others. Thank you Sarah, Leanna, and Christina!
Couldn't recommend them more! Cherise and Xavier were kind, professional, personable and fun! They did such an amazing job on both hair and makeup. I am always very nervous with my makeup because there is always such a fine line with too much makeup or not enough makeup to make a difference in photos. Cherise did such a perfect job! She listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly! The communication leading up to my wedding was also great. They were very responsive and organized. Cherise and Xavier also brought a fun, relaxing vibe that was very much appreciated the day of.
Working with Elite Bridal Beauty was so seamless and really made my day feel special. Cherise was so responsive and helpful when it came to coordinating adding on a trial for my mom as well as hair for the night of my rehearsal. Leanna who was our stylist for the wedding day was just so kind and patient and helpful throughout the entire process starting from the trial. She worked with both my mom and I to make sure we felt comfortable and beautiful with our trial looks. On the day of she was so attentive to everyone's wishes and just made the day run that much more smoothly. She was a joy to work with and I'd recommend her and the Elite Bridal Beauty team to anyone getting married or planning a special event.
Cherise and the whole team at Elite Bridal Beauty are truly a 10/10 compant and team. We were all blown away with our hair and makeup for my wedding day in November. The make sure to give you a natural but elevated look for your wedding day so you truly feel like yourself. I loved having the whole team there with me on our special day. If you are considering booking them definitely do it!
I cannot sing enough praises for this incredible team! From the trial to the final touch-ups on the big day, Cherise, Xavier and their team were an absolute dream to work with.
The team's talent is beyond compare – they flawlessly brought the natural look I wanted to life and made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. Their team was so wonderful and they also made sure every member of the bridal party looked and felt amazing as well.
Their positive energy and calming presence was greatly appreciated on the morning of the wedding. It felt like getting ready with a group of friends who genuinely cared about making my day perfect.
If you're looking for a hair and makeup team that will exceed your expectations and make you feel like a queen on your big day, look no further. Thank you Cherise & Xavier from the bottom of my heart!
I worked with Leanna at Elite Bridal Beauty for my wedding day hair and she was amazing! I really wanted soft natural curls, and she delivered! My hair looked glamorous and shiny, and she was so much fun to have around with my girls while we got ready. Her assistant Candy was also very talented. They were really efficient getting through my entire bridal party ahead of schedule. I also had Leanna stay for touch ups while I did my wedding party photos, and not only did she jump in any time the wind blew even a hair out of place to fix it, but she also helped with my veil, holding my bouquet when needed, all without being asked to when it’s not part of her job! She then touched up any of my bridesmaids’ hair who needed it before the wedding along with mine of course. My curls did fall out during my reception, but I think it’s just the nature of my hair, the style I got, and the level I was dancing (and sweating). It still looked so beautiful. Tiffany was also so helpful during the planning process and I loved the online portal to keep everything organized. I cannot thank Leanna and team enough!!
Used Elite Bridal Beauty for my September wedding at Tribeca Rooftop. Company was professional, organized, easy to work with, and very affordable. The 2 make up artists and 2 hair stylists in my wedding day team were so nice and an absolute pleasure to be with on my wedding day. Each hair/MUA listened to exactly what everyone wanted and executed all looks perfectly. Everyone looked stunning. Would highly recommend.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Cherise and her team. We were a lot of women for hair and make-up, all with very different skin, hair and looks. During the night, every single one of my girlfriends and family members told me how amazing they felt and looked because of their looks. And thats exactly what I wanted to give them. It was incredibly important to me that they felt confident and fabulous, which they certainly did. And that was due, in large part to Cherise and her team.
Cherise and Leanna's input and responsiveness were essential to planning out my looks. I changed my direction a couple of times throughout the process and they were always game. And I loved their creativity. They were added value and sounding boards during the process.
The Elite Bridal Team was incredible to work with from the early stages of wedding planning. They provided excellent communication and answered all of my questions/ concerns promptly. Bobby and Leanna were a dream glam team!! I wanted a natural look and they went above and beyond my expectations. My wedding venue was logistically channeling to get to on Fire Island, but the Elite Bridal Team was incredibly flexible and kept things stress-free throughout. I would strongly recommend to any bride going for a fun glam squad and a natural look!
Working with Kerin & the team at Elite Bridal Beauty for my rehearsal & wedding day glam was an absolute dream!!!
Kerin is extremely kind, warm, and has the most amazing energy. She brought my vision to life and made me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day. I was truly glowing from the inside out. She made myself, my mom, and all my bridesmaids feel so confident and enhanced everyone's natural beauty. We had the most calm and enjoyable glam experience getting ready for my wedding, not to mention everyone looked STUNNING!! Throughout the entire process, Kerin and the Elite Bridal Team were in contact with me ensuring I had the best experience. From my first consultation, to my trial, up until my wedding day, Kerin, Cherise, and Tiffany were a dream to work with! Thank you Kerin, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the bridal glam of my dreams!!
Working with Elite Bridal Beauty was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!! Their communication, organization and efficiency from the moment I inquired to throughout the whole process leading up to my wedding day was UNMATCHED. I worked with Kerin and Leanna and they were AMAZING! I never felt so naturally beautiful!!
Thank you to Kerin and Leanna for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day. They were both very patient with me and worked with me throughout the trial process to find the perfect look for me. Kerin even allowed me to incorporate some of my own makeup I love the day of. Everyone who got glammed that day was extremely happy as well with the way their hair and makeup turned out. I can’t wait to for the next opportunity to get my hair and makeup done to come. Thanks guys!
Love,
Martyna
For the hefty price tag, I was expecting a great experience, coupled with the face that I liked their minimal-looking and naturally enhancing hair and make up. The hair and make up artists were kind and professional, however, I didn’t think I got what I paid for. Although I know it was a humid day, my “beachy waves” lasted only 30 minutes, and looked terrible in photos. The worst part about this was the fact that I tried to leave just feed back to the team, and received a response a day later that was clearly an automated email, with no personalized touch, and they did not address any of my comments. I would dissuade someone from booking with this vendor for a wedding day. For a team that boasts about their celebrity clientele, I was expect a better outcome and experience.
Nicole and Eva went above and beyond to make my day special and beautiful. When our photographer unexpectedly didn’t show up, they went into crisis mode, posing me and my husband and taking amazing photos on their phones. Make sure you pay for your artists to stay for touch ups!!! It is WELL worth the money to have them there as part of your team throughout the day!
I wanted a really natural makeup look for myself and my bridesmaids which is why I went with Elite Bridal Beauty. I loved how every single persons beauty came out and I can’t say enough good things about their team! I would highly recommend their team.
The whole process with Elite beauty was great! From first inquiring about their services to the bridal trial to the wedding day, they were all amazing to work with. They are SO talented and all 7 of my bridesmaid absolutely loved their hair and makeup. If you want beautiful, elegant and timeless hair/makeup, look no further than Elite Beauty! They are so talented and all very kind people.
Elite is the absolute BEST! I worked with Cherise and Xavier to make my wedding look everything I could have imagined! The whole team was amazing, so respectful of everyone’s wants and needs, super fun, and so quick too!! This was the second time I had worked with Elite (previously as a bridesmaid) and both experiences have been incredible! Best day ever!!!
I was so worried it would be hard to find a beauty team who could really master a natural look and I am SO happy I found Elite. Could not recommend them enough - from start to finish I felt like I would be in such good hands with them. As a Type A person, it was really nice to work with someone really responsive and have the portal to reference leading up to the wedding.
I used Kerin for makeup and Eva for hair!
The minute I stumbled upon Elite Bridal Beauty’s page on the knot, I knew I wanted them to do my hair and makeup on my special day. The way they make brides look natural and beautiful was the reason I wanted them so bad! Throughout my wedding process, elite bridal always always answered my emails and provided answers to my questions clearly and in a timely matter. I loved my hair and makeup at my trial and knew I would be super satisfied the day of my wedding. The highlight of my wedding day was seeing my family and bridesmaids so happy and excited about how their hair and makeup turned out. Elite bridal beauty is so professional and talented, me and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup looked natural but also enhanced all of our natural features, which is exactly why I wanted them for my wedding. My bridesmaid asked me for their contact information the day after my wedding so she could have them do hair and makeup at her wedding. Everything turned out exactly how I wanted it to, thanks to this amazing beauty team!
ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH CHERISE, KERIN AND THE ELITE TEAM!!!!! they were absolutely incredible throughout the whole process and made the day-of so easy. kerin did such an incredible job, i will never forget it. looking forward to using them again and again for all my beauty needs! thank you again.
Fantastic Team! Sarah gave me the perfect look for my wedding. Creating a "natural" wedding day look is not easy and she hit it out of the park. My whole wedding party looked amazing as well.
OBSESSED with Elite Bridal Beauty. I hired them for hair and makeup for a group of 14 women for my wedding in October and it was the best decision.
From the beginning, Cherise and her team are incredibly professional, easy to work with, and TALENTED. We worked primarily with Eva and Bobby and absolutely loved everything about the experience. They did a trial for my mom and me at our house and after a couple hours together, I felt like I knew them for years! In addition to their amazing energy, they are insanely talented, helpful, flexible, and efficient. Bobby did the makeup for my bridal party and we all felt absolutely beautiful. It was natural, elegant, and timeless - exactly what we were looking for.
Eva helped me decide on my final hairstyle and it was beyond perfect - the glam wave! I thought I originally wanted to wear my hair in an updo but I am SO happy I went with her recommendation - I felt like a princess and she even bought extensions for me to clip in on the big day. Bobby, Eva and the Elite Bridal team were a dream to work with. I feel so lucky to have had them as part of my special day. Thank you so so much!
Incredible!! One of the best vendors I worked with for our wedding! My whole experience was amazing. From the beginning, I never had a problem getting in contact with someone from the team. They always answered my emails quickly with all of the information I needed. Also, their client portal makes navigating your invoice and details super easy.
On the day of my wedding, the team showed up early, set up, and did hair and makeup for me, the wedding party, the flower girl, my mom, and mother-in-law. Everyone was super concerned about their makeup looking cakey or unnatural, but everyone looked flawless and like themselves. Christina and Paige really listened to all of the girls and what they wanted and made everyone feel comfortable. Leanna and Christina both did hair and that too went great. I was so happy with my look and by having the team there for touch-ups all day, I was able to have them refresh my makeup or re-curl my hair as needed. They also did touch ups for the whole bridal party! I could not have been happier with my team and my experience from start to finish.
Cherise and her team were an absolute dream to work with! They made me and my bridal party feel like the most beautiful versions of ourselves. And the makeup lasted all night! I had a large group of 15 people and I was impressed by how organized and punctual her team was- they were actually ahead of schedule! I would highly recommend them to everyone, Cherise and her team are extremely talented. I would book them over and over again
The best of the damn best!!! Thank you Cherise, I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Above and beyond satisfied with my look + cannot say thank you enough.
I just have to say how absolutely amazing ELITE was throughout my wedding process. They were so quick to return messages and helpful throughout the planning process. I had the pleasure of having Kerin and Leanna for makeup/hair and let me tell you I have never felt so beautiful ! These girls are top notch and so kind and welcoming! I cannot recommend them enough !

Finding Elite Bridal Beauty and working with Eva (hair) & Nicole (makeup) was an absolute DREAM! I have never had my makeup done before, so I really had no idea what to expect or what to ask for. I showed Nicole some pictures, and she explained everything to me, took the feedback from my trial, and made me look absolutely GLOWING on my wedding day! I have never felt so beautiful. Not to mention she is an absolute sweetheart. Eva was also an absolute boss- she helped every member of my bridal party's vision come to life. She was honest with her thoughts of what would/wouldn't work for all of us, and she executed perfectly. Eva really does it all... she helped bustle my dress and fix my dad's boutonniere when it broke too! Cannot recommend Elite and Eva & Nicole enough!!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Cherise, Xavier and the entire Elite team. They were easily the best vendor we hired and absolutely exceeded all expectations. I'm very picky when it comes to hair and make up and had previously had a bad experience with another company who did my engagement photo glam. Xavier, Cherise, Jessica, and Sarah are true professionals, listen to their clients, and know how to execute hair and make up that looks and feels like you but ELEVATED! They also managed to make every person in my bridal party happy which is a difficult thing to accomplish! They kept us all laughing throughout my wedding weekend and truly went above and beyond -- they came with me to photos to style my veil and make sure my glam stayed in tact and ran back across the property where our wedding was being held to do my touch ups when I was stranded before the ceremony. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. They are that good!
Hiring Cherise and Xavier was the best decision! Immediately after talking to Cherise for a phone consultation, she made me feel less stressed about hair and makeup for my wedding. She understood what I wanted (like not covering up my freckles) and was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring. I was worried about not being happy with my look but not being able to articulate that. Both Cherise and Xavier were so open to feedback and asked a ton of questions along the way to make sure I was happy with the outcome! Neither my mom nor my mother-in-law wear makeup frequently, and the highlight was seeing them so excited about how they looked. They both told me afterwards how happy they were with how everything turned out and what a calming presence Cherise and Xavier were. Thank you so much to both of them for an amazing day!
I hired Kerin and Leanna for my wedding, and they were both fantastic! Kerin has mastered the natural glam makeup look, and I felt like an elevated (but not overdone) version of myself at my wedding. Leanna worked with me to perfect the hairstyle I was going for, and executed it flawlessly on the day of the wedding.
Where to even begin!? As someone who doesn’t wear makeup on a regular basis, I was very picky when it came to choosing a vendor for my hair/makeup. Elite exceeded my expectations. I had the absolute PLEASURE of having Kerin and Leanna as my stylists. These ladies were my own personal dream team (and hype girls!!) They made me look and feel like the best version of myself. Not only are they amazing at their craft, but they are patient, relatable and down to earth. It honestly felt like two of my friends came to get ready with me and just happened to do my hair and makeup, which speaks volumes to both Kerin and Leanna’s personalities. The entire experience was seamless and these two truly made my bridal vision come to life. I cannot recommend them enough!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍
Kerin, Christina, and their team were incredible. A friend of mine used Elite and raved about the experience and outcome. I am so happy that I was able to work with them for my wedding. From scheduling, the trial, to the day of the wedding, the whole team was professional, prompt, and a pleasure to work with. I truly never felt more beautiful, and also like myself, than on my wedding day. They created a schedule that was super helpful and we were never rushed / running behind. They took the time to understand my vision and also provided their expert opinions when I had questions. Also, every member of my bridal party was so happy with their outcome - having my bridesmaids / mom / MIL feel happy and confident made the whole process more enjoyable for me. I cannot recommend the Elite team enough. Thank you, Kerin, Christina, and the whole team!!
The whole team made me, my mom, my bridesmaids, and my new mother in law look so incredibly beautiful for my wedding! They made me look exactly the way I wanted to and made me feel so comfortable the whole time. Cherise and Xavier's energy were so amazing and made it so fun for all of us! They also made the whole experience so calming when I started worrying about the rain on the wedding day. I’m so glad I kept them on for the much needed touch ups! I truly couldn't have imagined a better team!!!
Leanna and Kerin did an incredible job with my wedding day hair and makeup! I can't recommend them enough. Thank you!!
Wow- I cannot say enough great things about working with Elite Bridal Beauty. The whole process from start to finish was incredibly stress free! Amazing email communication, very clear and easy website, regular updates, transparent invoices - the logistic side was so easy! As for my stylists, Kerin and Leanna, I cannot say enough amazing things. To start- they were by my side literally the whole day- from getting ready to first look to traveling back for family portraits to traveling to our outdoor ceremony to the reception. Kerin and Leanna were there to hold my train, fluff the train, fix my veil, hold my bouquet, make sure not a hair was out of place or make up smudged or missing lip color. They waited with me before I walked down the aisle and were there and ready to make sure I looked perfect every second of the day. They truly went above and beyond any expectations for hair and make up. And of course the hair and make up was beautiful, the best I’ve ever looked and felt!!! Was truly so impressed- not just with their make up and hair skills but how kind and considerate they were and how they stayed by my side the whole time. Cannot recommend the two of them and Elite Bridal Beauty as a whole!! 20 out of 10 experience!! Thank you Leanna and Kerin for making my day so smooth and enjoyable and keeping the looks flawless!!
