I found Genna on The Knot and I am so happy I found her. She made me feel comfortable from day one and listened to my ideas about what I was looking for. My make up turned out exactly how I wanted and I received nothing but compliments on it. It stayed on all day and even stayed on through many joyous tears! I highly recommend Genna Ellis Bridal Beauty. Genna is amazing and you will love the way you look!

100% recommend booking with Genna Ellis Bridal! I found them through the Knot and reached out to book my bridal makeup. I did my bridal makeup trial the week before my wedding and it was perfect. For the day of the wedding my makeup artist arrived at my location and my makeup turned out stunning and lasted throughout the evening with no touchup needed. I am so happy that I found these amazing artists. Thank you for making my day so special!!

Amazing Bridal Makeup Experience with Genna!
I had the pleasure of working with Genna for my bridal makeup, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From the moment we started, she was incredibly sweet and attentive, really taking the time to listen to exactly what I wanted. The final look was even better than I had imagined—my makeup was flawless, stayed in place all night, and I received countless compliments throughout the event.
Whether you're looking for a natural look or something more dramatic, like I went for with full glam, Genna can do it all. She uses high-quality products that not only made my skin look beautiful but also gave me insights into products I now use in my daily routine. What I really appreciated was that she cares about both the final look and your skin, which made me feel extra confident and cared for.
I highly recommend Genna to anyone looking for top-tier makeup artistry. She’s talented, professional, and truly passionate about her craft. If you want makeup that stays perfect all day and night, she’s your go-to!

Everything with Genna was amazing, start to finish. I was worried about relinquishing control as I'm super picky when it comes to what I look like - but she really put me at ease and executed exactly what I wanted. I still tell everyone that she put me on to the PERFECT nude pink lip combo. I still wear it all the time! Highly recommend hiring Genna for your wedding.

Genna was amazing!!!! I got married on March 23, 2018. My trial was just what I wanted (and I used for my bachelorette)!!!! On the day of my wedding my make up was beautiful!!!! I wanted it to look natural and she did just that! I received tons of compliments on my make up and still do when people see photo's! Genna is very easy to talk to and fun to work with!!! I highly recommend her!!!

Genna was a great wedding make-up artist. Her trial was super reasonable and when we found out my skin was not quite right for her product, she offered to try a second product on a second visit. She created the perfect look for someone like me who doesn't wear make-up regularly. It was soft and elegant. My bridesmaids seemed happy, too!
